SIT DOWN...BE HUMBLE!

What an amazing first week of bootcamp. We’re seeing lots and lots of brand-new members. I love this, especially seeing all the couples or siblings that joined together. A word that I heard a lot this week was “humbling.” It first came up when I was going over the FIT3d body scans and was echoed loudly during the PT testing. One young lady was like, “Who knew not being able to do a push up or touch my toes would be such a humbling experience?” She went on to say, “I knew I was getting out of shape, but I didn’t realize how bad I really was.” Being humbled affects people differently. For me, it fuels my determination to learn ....

“What's in your Grocery Cart?”

April 14, 2025 “What’s in Your Grocery Cart?” As we embrace new ways to live healthier, happier lives, the grocery store has evolved as a true destination for nutrition, health, and wellness. It’s the ideal place to highlight how food can play a vital role in preventing diseases and improving overall health. Grocery shopping is a fundamental part of daily life and what you put in your basket affects everyone in your household. Yet, it can be difficult to make healthier choices when you’re bombarded with tempting, unhealthy options. For over 10 years I consistently led grocery shopping tours designed to teach you ....

“What Examples are you Setting?”

April 6, 2025 “What Examples are you Setting?” Role models play a vital role in shaping the lives of others. Through their behaviors, achievements, and values, they serve as examples to be admired and emulated, particularly by younger people. They can often be the key to someone’s success in life. When asked me over the years about my fitness hero, my answer has always been my “No Mess Granny.” She passed away at 98 still in her right mind, dancing and telling jokes. She would do flips until 95, she rode horses well into her 80’s, she rode her stationary bikes and was always active throwing footballs with her great & great grandkids. Her ....

What's Your Fitness Age?

March 29, 2025 “What’s your fitness age?” When I started nursing at 24, I worked the night shift in a level one trauma center in Detroit. On a rare slow night, some older nurses and I were chatting. They complimented me on my size, saying “Enjoy your body now because in a few years after working night shift with us you will look like us. I replied, “If you’re assuming I will gain weight and be unhealthy that devil is a lie.” They laughed and said some people have to learn. Within two years I became the night manager and their boss. I worked there for 7 years, and I left the same size that I started. At 37 years old, I ....

Nothing Beats a Failure but a TRY!

March 22, 2025 "Nothing Beats a Failure but a TRY!" This is my 54th birthday bootcamp. The only gift I asked clients for was for them to give their all when it comes to their health and fitness. Try new things, eat healthier and show up for themselves. And let me tell you…y’all got a girl on cloud 9. The midpoint results were outstanding, from individual results to the people who joined the Team Up to Slim Down Challenge. The common quote I kept hearing yesterday was “I should have.” There was so many people saying this because they realized with their midpoint results if they had “Bet on Themselves” or joined a Team and stayed ....

"TADDA'S 54' KNOCKING DOWN DOORS"

March 15, 2025 "Knocking Down Doors” At 54, I am Knocking Down Doors & Opening New Chapters! I don’t just walk through doors, I break them down, build new ones, and leave them open for others to follow. Every challenge, every setback, every triumph has been a step toward this moment. Every year I do a photoshoot to represent where I am, appreciate the year of growth and to reflect on all of my setbacks and accomplishments. It was so fitting to do this year’s photoshoot in my new labor of love at Lake No Mess. I stand at the threshold of a dream realized—my lake house, a vision I carried since childhood, now a sanctuary of peace, power, and ....

Just Ride the WAVE!

February 18, 2025 “Just Ride the WAVE!” Every bootcamp, people start off so strong. The first bootcamp of the new year is the most intense because of the New Year, with people saying, “This is my year, New Year New Me.” However, this first bootcamp of the New Year was a little different. We had two snow days in the second and third week of the bootcamp, just when people were getting into the groove of things, giving them an excuse to stay home. Once they were forced to stay home many just ended up giving up. A lot of these clients were on the path to doing extremely well, with many losing a lot of weight and getting healthier. ....

“You Can Be Fit & Fly!”

February 7, 2025 “You Can Be Fit & Fly!” We’re more loyal to our hair than our health. That's a thought-provoking statement. It highlights the interesting priorities we often have when it comes to our appearance versus our well-being. Many people invest a significant amount of time, money, and effort into their hair care, sometimes even going to great lengths to achieve a certain style or look. Meanwhile, taking care of your health, which is arguably more important, can sometimes take a backseat. What do you think drives this phenomenon? I had a phone conversation with a potential client who stated, “When I start ....
