[vc_row][vc_column width=”1/2″][vc_text_separator title=”Welcome to This Day in Barrington History” title_align=”separator_align_left”][vc_column_text]Good morning and welcome to February 13th and Day 44 of 365 in Barrington, Illinois! You’ll find our stories of the day – past, present & future (events) – right here on today’s DailyPage. Because every day has its own rhythm, we’re sharing a song of the day here at 365Barrington.com.
On this day, February 13th in 1950, Peter Gabriel was born. The English singer-songwriter and record producer with Genesis had the 1974 UK No.21 single ‘I Know What I Like In Your Wardrobe’. Gabriel left Genesis in 1975 to launch his solo career and had the 1986 US No.1 & UK No.4 single ‘Sledgehammer’ from the 1986 UK No.1 & US No.2 album So.
“In Your Eyes” was pulled as the third single from So back in September of 1986. Did you know, Gabriel’s lyrics in this song were inspired by an African tradition of ambiguity in song between romantic love and love of God? (Thanks, Wikipedia!)
[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/2″][vc_text_separator title=”Song of the Day” title_align=”separator_align_left”][vc_column_text]
“In Your Eyes” reentered the US music charts, reaching #41 when it was featured in the classic 1989 teen drama/high-school film, Say Anything starring John Cusack and Ione Skye.
Who could forget iconic scene from the film when broken-hearted Lloyd Dobler (John Cusack) serenades his ex-girlfriend, Diane Court (Ione Skye), outside her bedroom window by holding a boombox up above his head and playing the song for her. Say Anything was released on April 14, 1989, just three months before I turned 16. (sigh)

🍽️ What does 100g of protein in a day actually look like?
Hitting your protein goal doesn’t mean living on chicken and protein shakes.
When you spread protein throughout your meals and snacks, it becomes much more realistic—and your body will thank you.
💪 Supports muscle maintenance & recovery
⚡ Helps keep your energy steady
🍽️ Keeps you fuller for longer
🧠 Supports healthy aging and overall wellness
Start simple: aim to include a quality protein source with every meal, and build from there.
Small choices. Consistent habits. Big results. 🙌

⚖️ The scale only tells part of the story.
One of the biggest mindset shifts I help clients make is realizing that the scale is just one data point—not the whole picture.
Your weight can fluctuate from day to day because of:
💧 Hydration
🍽️ Food intake
🩸 Hormones
😴 Sleep
😫 Stress
…and so much more.
That number can’t tell you how much is muscle, body fat, or water. It definitely can’t tell you how hard you’ve been working.
Instead, let’s celebrate the things that actually move your health forward:
✔️ Lower body fat %
✔️ More lean muscle
✔️ Getting stronger in the gym
✔️ Better energy throughout the day
✔️ Feeling more confident in your clothes
✔️ Building healthy habits you can stick with for years—not just weeks
As a coach, I’ve had clients lose inches without losing weight, gain muscle while their body fat drops, and feel better than they have in years—all while the scale barely moved.
That’s why we don’t let one number decide whether we’re making progress.
📩 If you’re ready to stop obsessing over the scale and start focusing on sustainable results, my 1:1 Nutrition Coaching is designed to help you build habits that fit your life and create lasting change.

✨ Athlete Spotlight: Toni & Annie Leiding ✨
This month we`re celebrating a very special mother-daughter duo—Toni & Annie Leiding! ❤️💙
You may only catch these two working out together during a Saturday class, but whether they`re together or flying solo, they each bring something special to our CFB community.
They show up, put in the work, encourage those around them, and remind us that fitness is about so much more than the workout. It`s about building confidence, creating lifelong habits, and sharing the journey with the people you love.
Having multiple generations training together is one of the coolest parts of CrossFit, and Toni & Annie are a perfect example of that. Their dedication, positive attitudes, and willingness to challenge themselves inspire everyone around them.
Be sure to check out this month`s Athlete Spotlight to learn more about what brought them to CrossFit, what keeps them coming back, and some fun facts about this awesome duo!
Help us congratulate Toni & Annie by showing them some love in the comments! 👇❤️
