Making FIT Work

I took a little time off podcasting at the end of 2022 to spend time with family and reflect on the upcoming year. It’s so easy to get caught up in what everyone else around us is doing, so it’s important to me to think about how I can share and empower you going forwards. I always pick a word to focus on for the year, to serve as an anchor for my goals. Typically I’ve picked words that channeled what I wanted to achieve professionally, but this time I wanted to focus on something a little different. I thought about what I truly need to create my “best life” and one word kept coming up again and again: connection. Here’s to finding new, better ways to connect with each other in 2023.

More than anything else, I often find that mindset is the number one thing holding my clients back from the success they’re looking for. By getting rid of our limiting beliefs, we unlock the potential to accomplish anything, the potential that lived within us all along. Happiness is found within ourselves and loving who we are, and that self love is the hack needed to unlock our best lives.

You’ve probably heard by now that one of the best things a woman can do on her weight loss journey is to start strength training, aka weight lifting… but why? If you want to lose weight and burn fat, you first have to understand your metabolism and what it’s made up of. Believe it or not, exercise only comprises about 5% of your metabolism! So then why start lifting? Building muscle mass changes everything up and helps you burn that fat a lot faster.

Today I’m talking to 82-years-YOUNG Joy Overstreet about how she uncovered the secret to ditching diets. You could say her journey with dieting started over 65 years ago when summer-camp weight gain let to obsessive yo-yo dieting. After Joy’s husband passed away in 1974, she knew something had to change, and that’s when she began to discover what she calls the “Cherry Pie Paradox.” Now everything Joy learned is available for all of us to read in a book, so we can free ourselves from constant dieting and the shame and self-judgement we often attach to our weight.

My weight gain and loss journey through pregnancy was far from average. I gained 45 pounds each time, and in an effort to “bounce back” and not to be the mom who “let herself go” I developed an unhealthy mindset that I still have regrets about. For you mamas out there, don’t get caught up in the number on the scale. Focus on how you feel, rather than how you look, and I promise it’s possible to enjoy the journey.
