As a young adult, she embraced veganism partly in the name of earthly conservation. As time went on, she wanted to give her body protein from more varied sources while still honoring mother earth. So she made a commitment to shoot or source her animal protein locally. What she learned was that vegans, hunters, and people who raise animals for feed humanely have more in common than you might expect.

Sara's journey is unexpectedly fascinating. You don't have to be vegan or a carnivore to get valuable insight from this discussion. What we know to be true about healthy nutrition is constantly evolving, but one thing we know for sure is that is it in our best interest to source our food in a way that conserves our planet.

Could your diet be making you hold onto fat? In some cases that's exactly what could happen. In today's episode we talk about a study that examines women with high cognitive dietary restraint in women with low cognitive dietary restraint.

So what is cognitive dietary restraint? It is the perceived ongoing effort to limit dietary intake to maintain or manage body weight. Studies have shown that women with high dietary restraint are more likely to have two issues one of which can cause them to hold on to body fat in spite of eating in a calorie deficit. If you've ever been on a diet and struggled to get leaner I think you're going to be interested in what this episode has uncovered.

What is 'aging gracefully'? I did a little Google search and came up with various definitions, but mostly it is an overused term that can be used to induce guilt and shame, especially in women.

Forget what you've heard about aging gracefully. I'm asking you to explore a different attitude about aging and that attitude is JOY. In this episode, we discover five ways that you can challenge yourself to age with joy in your heart.

The diet and beauty industry may imply that they want you to age gracefully, but they really don't mean it. They market their products based on your emotions of guilt and shame. For example how many diet foods have you seen advertised as guilt-free?

Body Image issues are largely thought of a problem for adolescent girls and younger women. But studies now indicate that midlife women and women over 50 are just as likely to struggle with body image and disordered eating.

If these women are going to get the assistance they need, the health care and fitness communities need to be aware that this is a growing problem.

Women over 50 with disordered eating (not the same as an eating disorder) and body-image issues need to know that they are not alone.

Thank you for tuning and remember to check back on Tuesdays for a new episode.

This episode and Grateful Fitness will not diagnose or treat an eating disorder.

But when you learn about these unexpected ways that you can make your home a relaxing private sanctuary, your life will take on a different flavor. We all deserve to enjoy our personal space and making it just right for us in the way we live is an art and also an organized process.

Please note if you are a pet owner, and you are looking for plants to bring home, please do your research on pet-safe plants versus plants that may be poisonous to your pets. Some Plants mentioned in this episode may be poisonous to dogs and cats.

Here is a funny footnote: CHAOS as an acronym was something I came across from another Home Making Professional called the Fly Lady. It stands for Can't Have Anyone Over Syndrome.

You know it's a fact that exercise alone does not work for getting leaner. And we also know that dieting alone may help you lose weight but it may turn you into a skinny flabby person. There's a better way around this, and I am not suggesting that you skip exercise or stop eating healthy. You're going to want to listen to this episode for 10 very useful tips to get leaner that have nothing to do with diet or exercise.

If you are over 40 you are really going to benefit from these tips. How do I know? Because I make it a point to practice what I preach. For my entire life, this has served me well. Except for when I can't sit still and it drives my husband crazy, LOL

If you haven't guessed by now we are talking about NEAT a.k.a. Non-Exercise Activity Thermogenesis. Neat is no joke when it comes to maintaining leanness, especially in midlife. :)

In my 20s I worked out to have a better body. In my 30s I worked out to de-stress and have a better body after delivering children. In my 40s I worked out to have stronger bones. In my 50s I worked out because I could. In my 60s I work out because I want to improve my power, strength, brainpower, and my sex life.

• No matter what age you are at, working out consistently gives us so much more than weight loss and 6 pack abs.
