NATIONAL CLEAN OUT THE REFRIGERATOR DAY

Tuesday, November 15

The timing is perfect for this day as Thanksgiving is coming soon, and we’ll most likely need room for all of the upcoming leftovers.  This job may be dreaded by many, but it is an important task.  Due to our hectic and busy lifestyles, the cleaning of the refrigerator often gets neglected, hence the creation of National Clean Out Your Refrigerator Day.  There may be a surprise or two found at the back of the shelves – can you even tell what it is? Things are often pushed to the back and then forgotten as new food is put in the front.

Here are some tips on cleaning out your refrigerator:

·         Empty each shelf.

·         Completely wipe down the inside of refrigerator.

·         Wash drawers and underneath the drawers.

·         Throw away all expired food.

·         Throw away any moldy food.

·         Get rid of anything that you do not use.

·         Vacuum condenser coils.

·         Vacuum out under refrigerator.

·         Restock shelves and drawers with good food.

·         Enjoy your nice, clean, organized refrigerator.

Sound extensive?  Well it is, but you’ll reap the benefits of fresh food, energy cost savings (clean coils save energy!), healthier options, and more room for Thanksgiving leftovers in a few weeks!

I worked out with Meredith for years before she (sadly) moved away. She is creative, fun, and great at correcting your form. She can adapt to injuries you might have. She will incorporate things you like (yoga) and can work with all types of exercise equipment from machines to bands to TRX to free weights to your body weight. No two workouts are the same, which means you do not get bored and you want to keep coming back!

Meredith first sought to truly understand my fitness goals and then observed my current weight-training routine.  She then helped me organize a workout plan that gave me better results, in the same amount of time.  Now I have a more balanced routine that is producing better results, in the same amount of time, with the same amount of effort. She always had my work within my comfort level and has helped me develop a more balanced program that maximizes the results.

I found my happy place at home with Meredith and Primetime Fitness.  I started virtual training with Meredith at the beginning of Covid and now virtual training is part of my weekly routine.  What a joy to get a great workout and not have to leave the house! Thanks, Meredith!

I’ve been taking Meredith’s classes for a few short months and also doing some training sessions with her, and it has already made me stronger.  I love that she offers lower-impact options (for this 58-year-old) and also motivates all of us during class!

I was recently diagnosed as a Type 2 Diabetic.  I had worked out with Meredith once before, but at the time, I just wasn’t dedicated to a routine.  As soon as I was diagnosed, I shot her a quick email, and she immediately responded. We met and discussed diet and exercise; she was a wealth of information. I started working out with her and figuring out what routine spoke best to me. She helped me set up a Peloton bike and monitored my form. Hey, if this 65-year-old woman can get in shape, anyone can. I’m 15 pounds down and on the right track. Thanks, Meredith!
