BONUS Episode: You’re Not Behind! February is the New January

How can we be so excited about our goals and the prospect of 2020 being our year on December 31st yet feel SO behind by February 6th? As disappointing as it can be, it's common.
If you feel this way, you aren't alone. Today, I'm stopping by to let you know that you are NOT behind.
February is the new January. I'm not just saying this to make you feel better although I hope it does make you feel better. I'm saying this because when we put goal achievement into perspective, we really can see that the beginning of anything doesn't doom the end and feeling "behind" is really a lack of insight about how the process is going to go down.

Episode 110: Why ”Everything in Moderation” Isn’t Working on Your Weight Loss Journey

We've all heard the saying "everything in moderation". But, can that really work for weight loss?
Many of us have ditched the diets and are trying to find our way back to some middle ground. We want to be able to eat freely without rigid rules and long lists of banned foods. However, many of us find that we simply can't lose weight when we're eating that way.
In today's episode, we dig into the truth behind why eating moderately isn't working for weight loss. The good news is, when you identify which one of these road blocks is holding up your progress, it's quite simple to address.

Episode 109: Why Cheat Days and Lasting Weight Loss Don’t Mix

On the surface, a regularly scheduled cheat day may seem like an effective way to avoid the feeling of deprivation while eating to lose weight. You get one day to eat the indulgent foods you may be missing. The thought is that you can eat the foods, "get it out of your system", and then continue on with your healthy eating. That's how it's supposed to work. For many of us, that's not how it works in practice.
There's more to weight loss than balancing calories. The regular practice of having a cheat day can pose threats to your sustainable weight loss far beyond the calories you consume that day.
In this episode of the podcast, I dive into why I think a cheat days are a bad idea if you want to create sustainable weight loss.
