Healthy Chicks in the Community: A Fit, Singing Boston Networking Queen
Happy Friday, ladies! Hope you’re enjoying this beautiful fall weather, and soaking up the last bits of foliage (if you’re a fellow New Englander, that is)
Onward & upward to this week’s lovely feature on Healthy Chicks in the Community! Danielle is one of the sweetest girls I’ve ever met — she’s a good friend, a good wife and an all around good person. I’ve gotten to know her these past few years in Boston from my HC wellness programs to fitness nights and of course blogger events…and I love how supportive she always is.
I’ll let you meet this rockstar for yourself!
NAME/AGE: Danielle Kempe, 31
BLOG/TWITTER: Blog: http://gettingfitinma.wordpress.com
Twitter: @DJDiG Instagram: @gettingfitinma
CURRENT CITY: Quincy, MA
PHOTO TAKEN (WHERE/WHEN): At the finish of the BAA 5K in 2015
WHAT YOU DO FOR WORK: fundraiser for the National Organization for Rare Disorders
NUMBER ONE PASSION: That’s hard to pick just 1. I guess writing, since that’s a stress reliever for me, but fitness is a close 2nd for that!
I FEEL MY HEALTHIEST SELF WHEN I AM: Making time for my own personal fitness: getting in workouts with November Project, or other social fitness workouts. I schedule my workouts just like I schedule other appointments in my life.
BUT I AM ALSO A REAL GIRL & SOMETIMES: I have nights where I binge watch TV and don’t move much
TOP THREE KITCHEN STAPLES: Frozen vegetables in microwave steam pouches, frozen proteins like pork chops & chicken (for a quick meal on the George Foreman grill), and lots of fruits/veggies for grab and go snacks for my office
NUMBER ONE GUILTY PLEASURE: I’m a huge fan of the Royal Spyness mystery book series by Rhys Bowen and I need to read the books the day they are available
THREE FAB THINGS ABOUT YOU:
1. I love networking and meeting new people so I’m a really good connector.
2. I love to sing used to sing the National Anthem at the football games when I was in high school and was in chapel choir in college.
3. I’m a crazy Red Sox fan that lived a dream by playing baseball at Fenway Park.
EXERCISE THAT MAKES YOU SHINE: group fitness classes
FAVORITE COMFORT FOOD: my Mom’s baked macaroni and cheese casserole
MESSAGE YOU’D LIKE TO SHARE WITH OTHER HEALTHY CHICKS: It’s OK to stick to a fitness activity you like and not be interested in every workout there is!
