A Note from Shari

Natural Chef Shari Becht

Welcome and thank you so much for reading the FitFeat blog!

Fitting fitness and healthy nutrition into an already busy life can be quite a feat but it’s well worth the investment of your time.  Hopefully some of the tidbits you get from my blog will help.

I became a personal trainer in 2001, after my own struggle with weight gain (and loss and gain and loss  – you know the drill.)  My fitness philosophy has evolved immensely through the years as I continue to learn, apply and grow.  If there is a fitness and nutrition book out there, chances are it’s sitting on my bookshelf right now!  After years of trying a multitude of diets with my own body as a sort of science experiment (with and without successes), I have settled into an intuitive, natural eating pattern and fitness routine where maintaining my weight is pretty simple.  And trust me, I like food.  I especially like tasty treats.  You will see through the course of this blog how I eat and exercise to stay fit and healthy.

I love to run, hike and lift weights.  Mostly things where my feet stay firmly planted on the ground!  I’m a five-time half-marathoner, a former NPC Figure Competitor, a one-time triathlete, and more.  I’ve listed the events in which I have participated over the years at the bottom of this page.  You’ll notice that after 2007 there are NO events!  That’s because I decided to exercise for enjoyment and pure FUN, rather than because I was “in training” for any event.

Thanks again for reading and don’t be a stranger!  Read and comment often – I look forward to hearing from you!

– Shari B.  =)
