[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 March 14 and Day 73 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 in 1998, “Getting Jiggy Wit It” started a three week
Our song for today is American actor and rapper, Will Smith’s “Getting Jiggy Wit It“. The song spent three weeks at the top of the Billboard Hot 100 chart from March 14, 1998. It also won a Grammy Award in 1999 for the Best Rap Solo Performance.
The song samples the 1979 Sister Sledge song “He’s the Greatest Dancer“. The “mama-uh, mama-uh, mama come closer” line is a reference to the song “Soul Makossa” by Manu Dibango, specifically the version adapted by Michael Jackson in “Wanna Be Startin’ Somethin’“‘s final bridge.

The connotations associated with the expression getting jiggy are open to interpretation. 😉 The term was originally a description of sexy fashion or style, but expanded to include dancing skill. Whatever the genre, with St. Patrick’s Day coming up this week, it’s a good time to be getting jiggy!

Still starting over every Monday? 👀
You ate great all week… then Friday night happened.
Dinner out. Drinks. Pizza. Maybe some dessert.
And suddenly it feels like you “blew it,” so you might as well enjoy the rest of the weekend and start fresh Monday.
Sound familiar?
Here’s the thing 👉 you don’t need another fresh start. You need habits you don’t have to keep starting over.
One meal doesn’t ruin your progress. One weekend doesn’t erase everything you did all week.
Have the pizza. Enjoy the birthday cake. Go out with your friends.
Then come back to your normal habits at the next meal.
This is a HUGE part of what we work on in my 1:1 Nutrition Coaching Program.
We’re not looking for another diet you can follow perfectly for a few weeks. We’re building realistic habits that work with your actual life — weekends, vacations, busy schedules, dinners out and everything in between.
Because the goal isn’t to be perfect.
The goal is to finally get out of the cycle of being “good,” falling off, feeling guilty and starting over again.
Ready to stop starting over?
Schedule a FREE nutrition consultation with me through the link in our bio and let’s talk about how 1:1 nutrition coaching can help you reach your goals. 💪🥦

We had such a fabulous time over the past couple of days handing out our Mental Health Coping Kits to the students at Barrington High School. We hope the students find the resources helpful as they start the new school year. You can learn more about the kits at https://bit.ly/4xNIa7u and en Espanol en https://bit.ly/4wgjSSb
Thank you again to the Barrington Area Community Foundation for their support and helping to make the coping kits a reality.

🍽️ 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. 🙌
