​What's not to love about a long fall weekend focused on gratitude?  I am always down for another leftover turkey sandwich with all the fixins but my all-time favorite family tradition is a walk in the woods with my mom.  What is your favorite Thanksgiving tradition?  

Is there anything better than holiday baking?  You've got the festive tunes rocking, and you are sipping hot chocolate... or maybe something a little stronger while the snow is falling.  

These Apple Spice Muffins are SO GOOD.  AND - they won't weigh you down or hold you back.  

This is just one of the healthier holiday recipes we've included in our new Holiday Cookbook.  I know you are going to love it!  Get yours here - use Promo Code: SANTA for $20 off your purchase through November 22nd.   

​I am so very happy to tell you that our 8th annual Burpees for Turkeys event was a success! Our goal this year was to raise $10,000 to help fight food insecurity in Maine. Through the efforts of our team and amazing community in Bangor AND Brunswick, Maine we raised $13,086 to help feed hungry Mainers.

We started this event in 2015 and that brings our total contribution to help fight food insecurity to over $78,000.
 
Thank you to everyone who contributed. Thank you to the trainers who did a bazillion burpees.  Thank you to everyone who showed up in Facebook LIVE to heckle and support the trainers. 

Thank you to the Good Shepherd Food Bank and United Way for all of the great work that you do to help Maine’s children and families.   
 
1 in 5 children in Maine live with food insecurity meaning they lack the necessary nutrition to live a healthy lifestyle.  The Good Shepherd Food Bank is able to feed a hungry child for an entire week with just $5.  AMAZING.
 
Today, we raised enough money to feed 50 children for an entire year. 
 
We are so proud of the impact that we are able to create through events like this.  We are so proud to have the opportunity to scale this event to multiple locations through our franchising program.  We are so proud of how our community comes together to help their neighbors. 
 
Thanks again for all of your support!  We all had blast.  Starting to count down the days to Burpees for Turkeys next year. 

​If you know Katie Norwood, then you know that she is incredibly dedicated to training and dedicated to getting just a little bit better every single day.

She won't tell you - but I will tell you - she's had some of her best-ever race times lately (she won her age group for the Maine Marathon 1/2 marathon with a running pace of 6:44 min/mile!) and she attributes it all to the Functional Patterns style training we coach at Wilcox Wellness & Fitness.  

So often people ask her what her training plan is for these big events and she is sharing all her secrets here.  What other questions do you have for Katie?

​Nothing gets me fired up like a deadline, and there’s a big one coming right up — the end of 2022! 

I’m vowing to finish this year feeling strong – are you with me? For me, “strong” looks like staying consistent with my nutrition, hydration, and training even through the holidays when life gets a little hetic.  

I want to finish this year with lots of momentum… so I can set the stage for a healthy 2023.

✨What does finishing 2022 strong mean to YOU?​​👇👇
