Live fully in midlife and beyond
Nutrition includes any food or nutrition related posts
To me, fall is like the start of a brand new year.
It’s a time to start something new, or pick up where we left off after the excitement and spontaneity of summer.
If you’re ready to pick up a new fitness habit, or just get back on the fitness wagon, then I’ve got something for you…
Hey there!
I want to know… What does being FIT mean to you?
As I get older (I’m now in my mid-forties), being fit has gone way beyond just about looking good in a pair of jeans.
FIT has taken on a much bigger, more important meaning.
As I move forward in life, I want to not only be physically fit, but I also want to be mentally fit, spiritually fit, and fit in terms of my relationships as well.
This means I want to stay active, avoid disease, be mentally sharp and focused, enjoy down time for yoga and meditation, travel, be present with the loves of my life, and just feel good in my own skin.
I want to keep enjoying these aspects of my life for decades to come.
Now, what about you?

Don’t you agree that the BEGINNING of pretty much any experience (at least the ones you choose) is kind of exciting?
I’m talking about the spark of a new relationship, the first day of school, getting your dream job, starting your own business, … Hell, even the first day of your new diet or exercise program seems awesome!
But, if you’ve been around the block a few times, you also know how these BEGINNINGS can turn out.
Generally, within a few days or weeks, that starry-eyed enthusiasm begins to fade and you discover EFFORT at your door.

To be honest, this wasn’t the blog I set out to write this week.
In fact, I was going to write about bacteria.
Or more specifically, Probiotics.
And I’ll still do that, but not today.
Today I’m compelled to write about what I’m living at this very moment.
You see, right now as I begin writing this, I’m about 17 hours into a 24-hour fast.
Hey there!
Here’s a blog post appeared late last summer… I got some of the most interesting responses from my audience.
So, I decided to re-publish it.
Not only because it was full of good info, but also because vacation is calling my name…
Enjoy and have a great week!
Did it work for you?
Although this method can work, for a lot of you, losing weight isn’t usually that simple.

Especially as summer approaches, I frequently get asked this question:
“How can I get rid of cellulite?”
It’s a great question.
So I did a little digging…

I don’t know about you, but I seem to, all-too-frequently, get pulled into that black hole of feeling that I’m not DOING enough.
You know… Not spending enough time with my kids and family; not getting enough done at work or having enough success in my business; not doing enough around the house; not working out enough; not meditating enough; not seeing friends enough; not doing the things I REALLY want to do enough, like travel; not accomplishing enough in my life…
Or worse, I get stuck into the rut of that stinkin’ thinkin’ “I’M not ______ (fill in the blank) enough.” ( The list is long, so I’ll spare you the details.)
The thing is, my NOT-ENOUGHs can drain me, because there’s just no end to them!
There’s always more I could be doing, and the list just keeps growing.
But where is this coming from? And how do I STOP these NOT-ENOUGHs from dragging me down?
If you’re the parent of a teen, it’s likely that food and/or nutrition have been issues at some point.
The need for your teen to assert themselves as individuals, mixed with food aversions, as well as an increased awareness of where their food comes from, how it got to the table, and what effect it has on their bodies…
Well, all that can make for, at the very least, colorful conversations, or at worst, ugly confrontations at the dinner table.

Yes, I’m an early riser.
Just me admitting that, might be annoying to you. Sorry…
But there’s just something I find so uplifting and peaceful about morning.
And to be honest, I actually find it pretty cool knowing that I’m up while most of the world is still soundly sleeping.
In addition to the cool factor, I also find that early morning is the best time for my brain and body.
When I was in university, cramming for exams, I’d be in bed at 9pm and up at 4am to get in those last couple of hours of studying. Yes, I was weird that way, but early morning study was always much more more focused for me.
I’ve also gotten some of my best and most creative writing done between the hours of 3 and 6 am.
And most notably, when I work out in the morning, I have more energy and enthusiasm for the rest of my day than when I don’t.
Now, aside from the energy and enthusiasm I just mentioned, getting your workout done first thing in the morning, gives you no need for excuses at the end of the day.

What a week!
It’s been super busy, but a really GOOD BUSY, if you know what I mean.
In my business, each time the season changes is my busy time.
So now that we’re heading into summer, some things are ending, while other things are just kicking off.
And one of the biggest things I’m kicking off this summer is a 12-week Online Health Coaching Experience , beginning June 1st.
I created this experience for 2 reasons:
1. To give you a taste of the benefits that coaching can give you without having to break the bank.
2. To get you to see and feel in your own body, that in a short amount of time, with the help of some accountability and consistency, you can create amazing changes.
And I think summer is the perfect time to get this done. WHY?
