Let us talk about habits. Sexy, sexy habits. 
 
Habits are the programming running our day in the background. 
If you want to adopt new habits, it won't happen by accident. It takes a lot of energy and repetitions. Good news though! We're going to talk about 2 strategies that will help you overcome the struggle of starting new habits. If done properly, they will change your life!I talk about the book Atomic Habits - James Clear (I highly recommend checking this out!)

Today we talk about why all or nothing thinking is keep you stuck and the 3 mindset shifts you need to make in order to take your first steps!

Today we talk about...- Fitness is extremely dogmatic
- All or nothing or black and white thinking is the main reason for yo-yo weight results
- When you confine yourself to a box (keto, Crossfit, vegan, running), you miss out on other opportunities.
- Don't reshape yourself to fit in a box. Design your own "box", or better yet, live outside the box!

Get ready to have your feathers ruffled because today we're talking about the commonalities between bariatric surgery, weight loss programs like Optavia, and GLP-1 agonist drugs such as Ozempic.
 
This is a touchy topic but I believe it would be a disservice to not talk about the potential downsides of these weight loss options that are more common now than ever.

Today we talk about:- The BS limitations we put on ourselves based on age- How pickleball is taking over (have you tried it??)- Stereotypes of senior fitness classes- My favorite moment in coaching

Today we talk about:- The real reason you keep failing at your goals
- It's not keto's fault, also keto isn't the answer you're looking for
