Hot take: a lot of barbecue food is actually really healthy.

Especially things like grilled chicken, burgers, fish, corn on the cob, and veggie skewers...

Because when you strip cookout food back to the basics, it’s mostly protein and veggies cooked over an open flame.

That's pretty much the definition of eating well!

The not-so-healthy foods that sneak their way in are usually the sides and extras.

None of that is off limits. But it's worth being intentional about your choices!

My approach at a cookout:
🥩 Load up on the grilled protein first
🌽 Fill half my plate with vegetables and lighter sides
🍮 Choose one or two things I really want and enjoy them

The goal isn't to be the person standing next to the grill eating plain chicken while everyone else has fun. It's to enjoy the cookout AND feel good afterward.

That's what sustainable, healthy eating actually looks like!

You’ve probably heard of PFAS (aka “forever chemicals”)... and they might seem like just another trend to watch out for.

But some plastics contain chemicals called “endocrine disruptors.”

They can mimic estrogen in your body, throwing off the hormonal balance you work so hard to maintain.

Labels saying "BPA-free" don't guarantee the plastic is safe.

Here's where to start:
✔️ Stop microwaving in plastic containers
✔️ Ditch the plastic water bottle
✔️ Swap your most-used storage containers for glass or stainless steel
✔️ Replace plastic utensils with silicone, wood, or stainless steel

✅ Share this post with a friend or family member

Potato salad at the cookout? Yes, please!

🥔 Here’s why it’s a healthy (and tasty!) choice.

When you cook potatoes and let them cool, the starch changes structure and becomes something called “resistant starch.”

That means it acts more like fiber than a carbohydrate, helps keep you full longer, feeds the good bacteria in your gut, and has less impact on your blood sugar than a freshly cooked potato.

Plus, it’s delicious.

Simple Summer Potato Salad
Serves 4 to 6

2 lbs (900 grams) small red or yellow potatoes, cubed
3 Tbsp olive oil
2 Tbsp apple c***r vinegar or white w**e vinegar
1 tsp Dijon mustard
Salt and pepper to taste
Optional add-ins: chopped celery, red onion, fresh herbs, hard-boiled eggs, capers, or whatever sounds good to you!

Cook potatoes in salted boiling water until just tender, about 12 to 15 minutes. Drain and cool completely. (Don't skip this step... it's what builds the resistant starch!)

Whisk together olive oil, vinegar, mustard, salt, and pepper. Toss with cooled potatoes and any add-ins you like. Refrigerate for at least an hour before serving.

Estimated macros per serving, based on 6 servings, potatoes and dressing only: 180 calories; 3g protein; 27g carbs; 7g fat; 3g fiber

Customize it: Add hard-boiled eggs for extra protein, toss in fresh herbs for brightness, or mix in whatever vegetables your family loves.

I don't always feel like cooking dinner either.

It’s why I meal prep.

I'm currently loving my 3-2-1 method (3 vegetables, 2 proteins, and 1 grain or starch prepped once a week)...

But sometimes meal prep for me is just cooking a double or triple batch of whatever I'm already making for dinner, and eating that for lunch the next couple of days.

Haha, when asked what my favorite meal is, I will ALWAYS say leftovers! 🥗

Here's the thing about "not having time" to meal prep. It doesn’t have to be a major production. It just has to work for you.

A few ideas to get started:

✔️ Double your dinner and pack the leftovers for lunch
✔️ Hard-boil a batch of eggs at the start of the week
✔️ Cook one big pot of grains and build meals around it all week

The hardest part isn't the prep. It's deciding to start!

If you're a woman over 40 who has been eating clean but still can't seem to lose belly fat, this one is worth a close read.

Visceral fat... the kind that builds up deep around your organs... is one of the most important health markers to pay attention to.

One of its sneakiest causes isn't what you're eating…

It's what you're DRINKING.

Always check your labels! 👀

Do I work out when I’m on vacation?

Well… it depends. On a lot of things!

One thing is for sure: I definitely do my best to stay active on vacation, because if I don't, inertia can set in and make getting back into a routine at home that much harder!

If I'm somewhere with a gym and I feel like using it, I will. I was just in San Diego with my family, and during our hotel stay, the four of us hit the gym every day!

But honestly, vacation workouts for me usually look a lot more like long walks and a few sets of pushups.

What I don't do is stress about it.

Being active doesn't have to look like a workout to count. Taking a few days off from structured exercise isn't going to undo the work you've put in.

What WILL set you back is coming home feeling guilty and burned out instead of rested and recharged.

A few things I try to keep consistent no matter where I am:
🚶 Walking as much as possible
💧 Staying hydrated, especially when traveling
🥗 Finding at least one solid meal a day with good protein and vegetables
😴 Protecting my sleep as much as I can

And as a bonus, all of that keeps my energy up so I can make the most of every vacation day… and not miss a beat when I return home!

I met Sharon a few months ago.

She was working out with a fabulous trainer, and that trainer was wrapping up her business as she prepared for an awesome life adventure.

Sharon's trainer connected her with me, and I introduced her to the BodFit fitness program. 💪

Sharon is showing up regularly, working out with all of the BodFit coaches, which I love ❤️. Each BodFit coach has been teaching for 15+ years, and we all learned from the same core coaching methodology.

That said, we all bring our unique style and personality to our classes, and our members will learn different things from each of us.

If you've been looking for a fitness program that you can do on YOUR schedule, without the gym drama and commute, DM me. I'll gift you some classes and help guide you to exactly the right class for you!
