In a few days we’ll all have traded the Christmas cookies for protein shakes, holiday parties for meal-prepped nights in, and gift lists for resolutions and goals. For some, 2021 was a year to remember, and for others, it was certainly a year to forget. But that’s the beauty of time, it just keeps ticking. And whether you’re waiting for the calendar to turn before you turn it on, or you’re someone who doesn't believe in resolutions and has been a beast all year round, there’s something special about January 1. So lets enjoy these last few days of what has been a year unlike any other, and hope and plan for better days ahead.
Happy Holidays!

For some, New Year’s Eve is a time to party and drink heavily. For others, it’s a time of more subdued reflection with friends and family. But for all, there’s usually food involved.
If New Year’s Eve is you final hurrah of gluttony, alcohol, and debauchery before 2022, keep scrolling, but if you’re hoping to kick-start some of those awesome habits you’ve drawn up for January, these 32 Secretly Healthy NYE meals are a good place to start. Whether you’re looking for mocktails, appetizers, or even dessert, make sure you’re ending the year just as strong and healthy as you’ll be starting the new one.

Weekly Recommendations |
This past month’s podcast of choice for The Fresh Squeeze was “Trained Podcast,” by Nike, hosted by Ryan Flaherty. Flaherty is Nike’s Senior Director of Performance and a solid voice behind the mic as well.
Perhaps due to the popularity and familiarity of the Nike name in the world of sports and culture, but this podcast has some of the coolest guests on a weekly basis that I have ever seen from a podcast. If you’ve ever wanted to know how the top physical performers in the world train, eat, recover, and take care of their mental well-being, throw this on the next time you’re surfing Spotify.

“Forever Fit” was built from a place where many things are - Carol Covino’s personal experience. A woman in her 40s, Carol was struggling with problems that are all too familiar to many - body image, body fat, the challenges of aging, and how to keep close to your dream body as you age.
I am not a woman in her 40s or 50s, but have seen enough in the industry to know that this is an age and a demographic where health and fitness becomes even more of a struggle than it is for most everyone else.
Are Carol’s programs and weekly podcast going to be a great fit for every woman over the age of 40? Most certainly not. The focus of her programs are almost exclusively around body composition, which I understand isn’t the end-all be-all for every person’s fitness journey. Her podcast however, does dive into a wider variety of topics such as hormonal changes, diet and nutrition, and the mental aspects of your fitness journey. And ultimately, Carol sets out to motivate, and does a great job at carving out her own little niche in the fitness world.
