Happiness doesn't Come to you. Happiness comes from you. Have a listen to Judy's birthday episode and see why she omits the "What-the-hell-effect" from her mindset.

The "What-the-hell-effect" is when you decide to throw your healthy living behaviors away until the new year. It means you are giving up. It means you are choosing instant gratification often followed by guilt and remorse and tight clothes.

You don't have to feel deprived or go on a strict diet and altogether skip the holidays, you can instead choose a mindset that allows you to practice healthy living and not go overboard.

Rememberer that happiness does not come to you and especially not in the form of food. Happiness comes FROM you.

You don't have to wait until you are disgusted, or until a new year happens. And by the way living better does not mean living in constant restriction. That is actually a mindset. It is possible to eat well for midlife health and fitness and not feel deprived.

Happy New Beginnings when ever you choose to create them.

Our brains are literal miracle workers. Every day our brain does many different things. our brain helps us comprehend, and feel, and smell. It signals an urge for things like chocolate and sleep. It detects pain and pleasure, it helps us balance, produces language, and feels empathy. We need our memory to learn anything. In fact, we use it every waking minute and even when we're sleeping. So why is it that we forget some of the simplest tasks or names or appointments? Are we doomed to become absent-minded in midlife? It turns out that there are strategies we can add to our midlife health and wellness toolbox to help us both war off Alzheimer's also and be better at remembering the small stuff.

Pushing positivity at the wrong time can be detrimental to us and also ruin relationships. Sure a positive outlook can be helpful, except when we force it on others like a thin frail veneer coating.

When we push negative emotions away we avoid dealing with them and they always come back to haunt us. Negative emotions can keep popping up like a Wac-a-mole can wreak havoc on our mental and physical health.

Investing in your health bank is a lot like investing in your financial nest egg. Think about it this way. What good is having ample finances if your midlife health and fitness are preventing you from enjoying your hard-earned nest egg?

Your future brain, bones, and heart are depending on you to make choices that can optimize your ability to fully enjoy your later years. You can't afford to screw this up. This does not mean you should get skinny, or worse yet try to get skinny fast. Skinny and fit are very different. A health-conscious journey is a many-pronged approach to optimizing your mind and body for enjoyment in your later years. Hint: it doesn't mean under-eating and over-exercising.

Have you ever bought something just because it was on sale and never used it? If you have and who hasn't, it feels yucky to have wasted your money.

Now think about all the fitness and diet sales that pop up From Black Friday to January first. It happens every year. People waste huge amounts of money on these programs because they buy before they are ready to commit.

Fitness and diet sales are really not fair to the consumer because clever marketing entices people to spend before they are ready and they end up having wasted their money and feeling like a failure.

Look just because a new year is on the horizon, you have to start anmother diet and exercise program. How many times have you started on January 1 only to not stick with it?

Think about this carefully and decide when you are ready to commit. When the mind is ready the body will respond.

Happy Holidays!

xoxo

Midlife and menopausal women are powerful, beautiful, and sexy. This discussion will fire you up to own your power in midlife and menopause. Of course, women over 40 are faced with the classic challenges of menopause. However, we are owning it. We are not ashamed of natural aging like previous generations.

This is an opportune time to reevaluate who we are, and where we want to go in our next chapter. Therefore maintaining fitness over 40, proper diet, proper rest, and a positive perspective is of vital importance.

Midlifers are letting marketers know that the representation of women can not be limited to women in their 20's and 30's. Midlife women are strong, beautiful, and sexy. And having midlife women and men represented as strong, sexy, and beautiful is powerful.

Ironically this episode was recorded and world menopause day and it was actually quite exciting to know that a day to celebrate this fabulous phase of life exists.

Our diet and lifestyle habits in midlife, have a major impact on the probability that we will develop dementia later in life. Today we are talking about how midlife health and fitness, specifically in the kitchen, can impact tiny changes in our brain that later can show up as dementia and Alzheimer's disease. Alzheimer's disease is somewhat preventable through diet and lifestyle, and Dr. Annie Fenn has made it her life's work to teach us how to eat delicious food while waring off changes in our brain that can lead to dementia and Alzheimer's disease.

Intermittent fasting is enjoying a popular weight loss/fat loss diet approach. But the fact of the matter is that Intermittent fasting does not affect men and women equally. Seems unfair, I know.

That first meal after breaking the fast is very very important. Planning ahead for the meal after the fast can make all the difference in keeping within a calorie deficit, which is always the goal of fat loss. Listen to the end to see how cold and hot smoothies can help you maintain your calorie deficit and enjoy your post fasting meal.
