Live fully in midlife and beyond
Maybe I’m going out on a limb here, but…
If you’ve got belly fat, I’m willing to bet you aren’t loving it.
Am I right?
So, when I’m saying “love it” in the title, you may be skeptical.
I get it.
For most of us, the reaction to belly fat is usually one or more of these feelings:
Disappointment, discouragement, disgust, and disbelief.
(“love” isn’t usually on the list)

This fall I’m creating space for community.
I want to bring together women who are in mid-life and feel challenged by their changing bodies.
Because I think we all need support as we go through the changes of perimenopause and menopause.
I know it’s a time when you can feel alone.
When you feel like your body isn’t yours anymore.
And when it seems like things that used to work for your health and fitness, aren’t working.
That’s why I created the Belly Fat to Belly Fit group coaching program.

Something happens.
Like your teenager makes a huge mess in the kitchen, leaves with friend, and then you have to clean it up.
A thought might pop into your head, “He doesn’t respect me.”
And that thought leads you to feel angry.
And then you have the thought, “I shouldn’t be feeling angry about this, I should be able to look beyond it.”
That thought then makes you feel guilty about feeling angry.
So now you’re feeling angry AND guilty.
And all you really want is to feel good.

Does life feel boring and routine?
Do you feel down in the dumps?
Are you stressed and overwhelmed with work?
Enjoying summer with friends?
Frustrated because you can’t sleep?
Like it or not we often use food (and drink) to change our mood.

Carbs can feel like enemy #1 when it comes to losing belly fat.
However, there are many factors that contribute to fat around the middle:
Peri/menopause, lack of sleep, chronic stress, inactivity,…
And yes, processed carbohydrates, a.k.a. carbs.
I’m talking bread, pasta, crackers, cookies, cake,…

Working with women over 40, many women I meet are focused on building wealth.
They’re asking for raises or getting promoted.
They’re finding ways to create passive income, and get their money working for them.
They’re hiring financial advisors and wealth managers to help them get to their goals.
I love that so many women are kicking ass financially.
And, it’s also made me think.
The principles of building wealth are pretty much the same as those that build health.
The big difference is currency.

It’s obvious that you need to move your body to change your body.
But in order to move your body, you need to use your mind.
Because your mind is in charge.
So, if any of your goals include fitness, health, fat loss, or strength…
It’s your mind that will get you there.
Losing weight can be a one-time thing.
Like after you’ve had kids, or losing the perimenopause belly.
But often, it’s a life-long thing.
Where it feels like most of your life you’ve been on some sort of diet, cleanse, workout routine…
All in the name of losing weight.
When it feels like a constant struggle, the struggle becomes part of you.
Your identity actually becomes that of someone who always “needs to lose weight.”
So, no matter how much action you take, you may not get results.
Until you shake this identity.

I’m bringing back this post from 2017.
It’s still something I get asked about, and it’s very much the season for bringing it up.
“How can I get rid of cellulite?”
It’s a great question.
So I did a little digging…

Self-compassion and self-sabotage.
They sound like two very different things, but we easily confuse them.
Like when you find yourself sitting in front of the tv, with a bowl of ice cream, after a long, hard day of work.
Is that self-sabotage or self-compassion?
