Congratulations to the first “graduating” classes of Get Fit NH Bootcamp at the Concord Dance Academy, as well as all of our Epsom members who “survived” bootcamp!
Here’s a few pictures styling with the new shirts – Great Job!

I admit it, I am getting a bit cynical regarding food manufacturers, even the ones who purport to sell “healthy” food.
I have come to the conclusion that the first rule of food shopping I need to remember is this – The vast majority of manufacturers will say anything legal (i.e. – legal but not necessarily ethical) to sell their product.
Case in point – the trend to call sugar anything but “sugar”. My new favorite is “Organic Cane Juice Crystals”. Think about that one!
We have been encouraging you to read labels, so I thought we would share some names for sugar – some recognizable, some not. If you have any more you’d like to add, write it in the comments below.
