Getting fit and healthy is an individual journey.
It takes focusing on yourself, your choices, your progress, and ultimately your results.
And so it's easy to be fooled into thinking that it's all about you.
Sure, it is about you, but at the same time, each and every choice that you make, and action that you take, is being noticed by someone.
Who's watching you?
Your kids.
Kids care very little about what we say. They will wait for you to finish talking and will then take note of what you do.
Are you following the advice that you give?
Who else is watching?
Your partner, your friends, your co-workers, your parents, your siblings, your neighbor...
We are all in this together, so the next time that you are tempted to throw in the towel on your quest for a healthier, fitter, happier, BETTER you, remember those eyes watching you.
When you aren't strong enough to stick with it for you, stick with it for them.

If You Aren’t Leading By Example, You Aren’t Leading At All
Do your kids see you living a fit and healthy lifestyle? Remember that it matters very little what you tell your kids about how to live a healthy lifestyle. Your kids will be influenced MUCH more by what they see you do in your own life, rather than what you tell them they should do in theirs.
It’s never too late to start modeling fit and healthy habits for your kids. Start today! Lace up your shoes and go out for a hike, a trip to the gym or for a family workout at the park.
I’m here to help. Call or email today to get started on a fitness program focused on your goals that will fit into your schedule.
Lemon Blueberry Protein Bar
Here’s a lovely departure from chocolate-themed protein bars, with a delightful combination of lemon and blueberry. If lemon isn’t your thing then leave out the lemon zest and embrace the vanilla-blueberry vibe.
What you need
Serves 20
1 cup unsweetened coconut milk
1 cup almond butter
½ cup dried blueberries
2 cups uncooked, rolled oats
1 Tablespoon lemon zest
2 cups vanilla protein powder
3 Tablespoon coconut oil, melted
1 Tablespoon Swerve confectioners style erythritol
Instructions
1. Line the bottom and sides of an 9 × 9-inch baking pan with parchment paper, so that the parchment paper hangs over the sides. (These will be your handles to easily pull the protein bars from the pan once they’re done.) Lightly rub the parchment paper with coconut oil.
2. Combine the coconut milk and almond butter in a pot over low heat. Stir often, until fully combined and smooth, then remove from heat and allow to cool.
3. Blend the dried blueberries in a food processor until creamy. Add the almond butter mixture, oats, and protein powder and pulse until fully incorporated. Press the dough into the prepared dish and place in the freezer for 10 minutes. Cut into 20 bars.
4. Whisk the coconut oil and Swerve together in a small bowl. Drizzle over the protein bars. Chill until the glaze sets, about 5 minutes. Store in the fridge.
