Summer means parties, nights out, catered events, airport food, and hotel meals. While that isn’t ideal most of the year, summer is a new season with its own routines. So instead of skipping out or over-indulging, we’re striving for balance when we find ourselves eating out more than normal!

Summer is also a great opportunity to try new foods! Summer produce is abundant – load up on healthy, fresh goodness that is also lighter fare! The markets are overflowing with bright colors and delicious, season items!

Make the most of the summer season by embracing its bounty!

Summer officially starts tomorrow but most of us have already tip-toed are way into those summer vibes... laidback, flexible, sleeping in, hanging out with friends, mini-vacations and travel.. oh yes, the joys of summer!

Travel is inevitable–and good for the soul–over the summer months, so why not try and make your travel work for you and your goals!

Being a prepared traveler is the best way to make sure you have an amazing trip and don’t come back feeling sluggish and out-of-whack. There’s no need to abandon healthy habits just because you’re jetsetting.

See below for 7 easy tips to make your travel work for you and keep your summer success on track!

How's your summer going?! 

Ok, I LOVE saying that... even though the official day of summer isn't until the 21st...

It feels fabulous now that the weather in New England is catching up with our summer attitudes. Slower pace, more time for friends and family, a chance to change it up…

But with all the change that summer brings, it can sometimes be hard to figure out a new schedule and routine – one that accounts for a change in season but doesn’t derail you from your goals and progress.

In order to have a successful summer, we've got to schedule it.

But schedule what, exactly?!

Graduation parties, weddings, end of school, beach trips + BBQs… my calendar is filling up with all of this goodness which is how I know summer is right around the corner!

To say I have been waiting all year for summer to come would be an understatement. Sunshine, hanging out with friends and family, a more “relaxed” schedule and vibe… it’s truly best.

And with the start of summer comes a whole new schedule. Maybe we’re in different homes, different cities, have our kids home with us, find ourselves eating out more than usual, and, of course, having more FUN! And that’s great! 

Life has seasons for a reason… we’re not meant to keep doing the same thing over and over again, every day.

So with our summer season on the horizon, it’s time to take stock of your warm-weather plans and find a new-to-you schedule that will help prioritize your fitness goals AND let you have lots of fun.

Good Tuesday Morning!

I hope this email finds you feeling good, inside and out. I've been wanting to share this email for a while and didn't feel like it was ever the right time... until now...mostly because it comes up at least once a day and partly because of the time of year.

The topic that many of us can relate to: weight loss. It's a goal that often occupies our minds, especially as summer approaches, and one that can feel like "if only" it happened, everything else would fall into place.

However, I believe that in our pursuit of weight loss, we often overlook the most crucial element for sustainable change: addressing the root of our habits and behaviors.

If we are holding extra weight, it is a symptom, not a cause; and just focusing on losing the weight is like avoiding surgery or take the time for rest and true recovery for a serious injury by taking Advil everyday... sound familiar?

Rather than solely focusing on shedding pounds, I'd like to offer you a different...

Problems? Nah. We've got solutions.

Yes! It's an honor to be the place you've chosen to help you with your health, wellness, fitness, confidence and community!

I still pinch myself that I get to do this as my "job"... ha! I hit the jackpot and am grateful we can be on this path together. 

Here are a few ways that our beautiful tribe has shared how we've helped over the years:

• Lack of motivation to exercise regularly: Many of us struggle to find the motivation to exercise on a regular basis, which can lead to a lack of progress towards fitness goals. We provide workout plans, classes, accountability, and support to help you stay motivated and consistent with your exercise routine.

• Uncertainty about proper form and technique: It's common to feel uncertain about your ability to perform exercises with proper form and technique. At ...

It's hard to believe that it's the last Tuesday in April... ah, spring...

I love the energy Spring brings: newness, endless possibilities, an “out with the old, in with the new” mentality, renewed hope that things can change, and a reminder that seasons of growth always follow seasons of darkness.

And while I'm ready to break free from my winter cocoon and emerge a new creation, sometimes I need to just focus on the small things and rebuild my foundation. We’ve been focusing on tiny but mighty habits that can make a world of difference for you. We’ve talked about the importance of water, walking, and sleep: simple and effective daily goals that are low lift but have a huge impact on our emotional, physical, and mental well-being. 

Focusing on these “boring basics” – like sleep, water, and walking – will strengthen your foundation, allowing you to tackle bigger goals and challenges in the future.

Like I’ve...

Hey, hey!

This past week, cold dreary New England bloomed into full blown Spring. After months of 5pm sunsets and freezing temps, it feels miraculous to wake up with the sun shining and ditch my snow boots and winter coats. I feel like a caterpillar, shedding my winter layers and emerging from my winter hibernation cocoon ready to start fresh!

What about you???

It can be tempting to jump into full-blown reinvention when we see the world around us transforming. Some of you may even find themselves thinking big things, like…

• Maybe I’ll run the Boston marathon next year!
• Maybe I’ll change my eating habits completely and become vegetarian and gluten-free.
• Maybe I'll start waking up at 5am and become a morning person despite my usual alarm ringing at 7:30am.

And while all those goals are admirable, they’re enormous goals that can easily feel frustrating if we don't build a proper foundation first.

In the FIERCE life we always focus on creating manageable...

Sunshine... glorious sunshine. It has been epic so far this spring!

The world is blooming all around us and it just feels like a soul recharge. Change is hanging in the air and all that stagnant winter energy is quickly moving on. Taking action on projects is feeling more possible these days and I want to do it all!

While reinvention seems enticing, I need a goal that seems way more manageable than that. That’s why, this month, we’re getting back to the basics. Simple and effective daily goals that are low lifting but have a huge impact on our emotional, physical, and mental well-being.

You might even roll your eyes at how simple these suggestions are, but that’s kind of the point. Focusing on the “boring basics” will strengthen your foundation, allowing you to tackle bigger goals and challenges in the future.

Like I said last week... if you hear yourself say, "But I already know that!", then it's an opportunity to ask yourself, "But, am I...
