[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 15th, PRESIDENTS’ DAY, and Day 46 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 15th in 1969, Sly and the Family Stone started a four week run at No.1 on the US singles chart with ‘Everyday People’, their first No.1. Released in November, 1969, the song is one of Sly Stone‘s pleas for peace and equality between differing races and social groups, a major theme and focus for the band.

🎃👻 DON`T LET HALLOWEEN CANDY SCARE YOU! 🍫
Halloween is tomorrow, and we`re here with a friendly reminder from CFB Nutrition:
You can enjoy the candy AND still make progress toward your goals! 💪
One night of Halloween treats isn`t going to undo weeks of consistency.
Here`s how to enjoy the holiday without letting your nutrition goals turn into a horror story! 👻
🍳 Fuel your day like normal! Eat your regular meals, prioritize protein, and don`t save all your calories for candy.
🍫 Pick your favorites! If you love Reese`s, have the Reese`s! No need to eat candy you don`t even enjoy just because it`s there.
💧 Stay hydrated! Keep up with your usual water intake.
🎃 Enjoy the moment! Trick-or-treating, costumes, family time, and making memories are what the holiday is all about.
🧠 Skip the guilt! No extra workouts, skipping meals, or "starting over Monday" necessary.
A few pieces of candy won`t derail your progress. Your habits over time are what matter most!
At CFB Nutrition, we`re all about building sustainable habits that allow you to enjoy REAL LIFE — holidays, celebrations, candy, and all!
Happy Halloween from CFB! 🎃💙❤️

🍕 YOUR WEEKEND DOESN`T HAVE TO UNDO YOUR PROGRESS!
You eat well Monday through Friday. You hit your workouts. You`re feeling good.
Then the weekend hits.
Dinner out. Drinks with friends. Kids` activities. A birthday party. Maybe a few extra snacks.
Sound familiar? 👀
Here`s the thing: You don`t need to be perfect on the weekends to see results.
But you DO need some consistency.
A few simple habits can make a huge difference:
💪 Keep protein a priority, even when your meals look different.
💧 Stay on top of your water intake.
🚶♀️ Keep moving! Walks, bike rides, and family activities all count.
🍽️ Enjoy the foods you love, but pay attention to portions and hunger cues.
🧠 Don`t fall into the "I`ll start over Monday" mindset.
One meal doesn`t make or break your progress. Your overall habits matter far more!
At CFB Nutrition, we focus on building habits that work in REAL LIFE. Not just when your schedule is perfect.
Because the goal isn`t to be on a diet forever. It`s to learn how to fuel your body while still enjoying your life!
📩 Want help finding that balance? Our 1:1 Nutrition Coaching Program is here to help!

💪 LET`S TALK PROTEIN! 💪
You show up to the gym. You put in the work. You`re getting stronger.
But are you giving your body what it needs to recover?
Protein plays a HUGE role in muscle recovery, building and maintaining muscle, and keeping you feeling satisfied throughout the day.
And here`s something we see all the time — people think they`re eating plenty of protein, but when they actually start tracking, they`re surprised by how little they`re getting!
🥩 So how much protein do you actually need?
For many active adults, a good starting point is around 0.7–1 gram of protein per pound of body weight per day, depending on your goals and individual needs.
And no, you don`t need to eat chicken breast six times a day to get there! 😂
Try incorporating a quality protein source into each meal and snack.
Remember: You can`t out-train consistently under fueling your body!
At CFB Nutrition, we`re helping members understand their macros, fuel their workouts, and build sustainable habits that support their goals.
📩 Curious about nutrition coaching? Reach out! We`d love to help!

🍁 16 YEARS STRONG! ❤️💙
What a way to celebrate 16 incredible years of CrossFit Barrington! 🎉
A HUGE thank you to everyone who came out to our CFB Fall Fest & 16th Anniversary celebration! From delicious chili and pumpkin decorating to lots of laughs and great company, it was such a fun afternoon with our CFB family!
🌶️ Let’s talk about that chili cook-off! Every single chili was delicious, but Jen Parisi took home the win! 🏆 And apparently it was Jen’s lucky day because she ALSO won our ruck raffle! Someone needs to take that girl to buy a lottery ticket! 😂👏
But the best part of the day? Seeing our members, spouses, kids, and families all come together outside of our regular gym routine. ❤️
That’s what makes CFB so special. We may come together for the workouts, but it’s the friendships, connections, and community we’ve built over the years that make this place so much more than just a gym.
16 years of fitness, friendships, memories, and showing up for one another. We couldn’t do any of it without YOU!
Here’s to 16 years of CFB and many, many more! 🥂
More than a gym. Always a community. ❤️💙
