Keeping up your physical health by exercising and eating right is difficult under the best of circumstances.  Just the act of stopping drinking or drugging and addressing root causes of substance abuse can be overwhelming, let alone starting the process of getting physically fit.

Last week, we discussed how important maintaining your physical health was important.  This week, we show you how to do it, with the help of our guest.

We went to an expert to help us make this task manageable and invited fitness blogger Lindsay Perisco of https://huntfiber.com/.  Lindsay is a mother of 3 young children, a wife and full time personal trainer.  With all that going on, she has found time to explore her passion, the outdoors and hunting.

In this episode, Lindsay's key takeaways are:

  • Find a reason to stay fit.  For her, if she wants to hunt, she needs to exercise the right way to keep up
  • Make a plan and stick to it, even when you don't want to
  • 90% of being physically fit is not the exercise.  It's the right food.  That takes preparation
  • Don't expect 100% adherence.  Plan for slip ups.
  • All or nothing won't work!  Plan for treats.
  • There are no good carbs/bad carbs or fats.  There is the right mix.

With all those New Year's resolutions, we hope bringing in an expert on the subject will help you find the right motivation.
