Perhaps you’ll see the connection in a minute.
Just over a week ago I celebrated my 34th birthday and my 4rth Father’s day. What a weekend that was! I was showered with hugs and kisses from my little girls (even more than normal), which is all I could ask for!
My oldest daughter, Bella, made me a wonderful chocolate birthday cake. And she thoroughly enjoyed making it, as you can see from the picture below.

Yes, every now and then I indulge in some chocolate cake – and it’s gotta be all chocolate including the frosting.
That cake tasted so good – partly because it was a real treat, but mostly because I didn’t worry about the sugar content or the calories. I simply enjoyed some darn good cake!
The connection to your health is this: these simple moments can be more enjoyable, and sweeter, when you are healthy and fit.
Most people know when they aren’t healthy. They often feel guilty, less attractive, less capable. And these feelings are often magnified around landmark events, like birthdays or holidays, especially when indulging in treats is involved.
Nothing gets rid of those feelings like being committed to a proper fitness plan designed to address your health and fitness needs. If you are working hard to consistently follow a plan that will lead you to fitness results, you can feel confident that a treat on your birthday isn’t a big deal. And when you achieve your fitness goals – when you feel younger, more attractive, and healthier, just imagine how sweet that cake is when the sour taste of guilt, worry, and anxiety is gone!
Each year around my birthday I think about what I can do to be a better Dad, husband, and professional. Essential to all of those things is to stay healthy and fit.
And related to your health is my commitment to bringing you better information, services, and solutions to helping you improve what matters most – your health and fitness.
Accordingly, you will notice some exciting changes in the next few months with Spectrum Fitness Consulting as we strive to better serve you.
One such change is the development of our Health Empowerment Program. This is a workshop class that brings together the expertise of practitioners from Spectrum Fitness Consulting, The Medical Group, and the Medical Psychology Group. This one of a kind 16 week workshop program allows those with disease risk factors (overweight, high cholesterol, high blood pressure) to have accesses to a comprehensive and affordable option to take control of their health. Participants will have access to the expertise of primary care practitioners, nutritionists, Physical therapists, fitness professionals, and psychologists to address all the key elements of improving health and fitness. There is really nothing like this available.
This is a great option for those who are deconditioned, have risk factors for health problems, and are ready to take control of their health the right way. The program is very affordable, however admission to the program is strictly limited to a maximum of 8 participants.
Enrollment to our next program is beginning soon. We are hosting a free information session to describe the program in more detail this Wednesday, July 1rst, from 4-5 pm at the Medical Group offices in the Beverly Hospital campus. Call me directly at 978-927-2065 right away to reserve your seat at this free information session. This may be just the answer to helping you or a loved one finally take control of their health and fitness.
Here’s to making life sweeter!
Dedicated to your health,
Mike Stare
