Getufit with Irene- Helping you lead a healthy lifestyle.

To me, birthdays are milestones. Each birthday indicates that I have experienced another full year of life. The Earth has taken another full trip around the Sun with me in tow.

That said, life involves varying levels of loss, failure, and struggle. Thus, as I look back on last year, there is always some grief and pain. There is also beauty and joy. Honestly, while the idea of reflecting sounds really lovely and important for personal growth (blah, blah, blah), this also feels hard to do– emotionally and logistically.

Through this process, I also find myself resisting asking for what I need and want. I don’t want to be a “burden” or bring extra attention to myself. (Which is why I asked my husband to do this podcast with me in honor of my birthday), and making a special memory to honor this day!

Starting to eat healthily is not as difficult as maintaining consistency in following it. Cravings, mood swings, hormonal imbalance, stress and fatigue can all make it difficult for you to stay consistent in a diet. And this is a major hurdle that people face when being on a weight loss or fitness regime. In this podcast, I share tips and tricks that can help people maintain consistency in eating healthy and changing your routines permanently. 

If there’s one thing I’ve learned from coaching 1000s of clients over the last 10 years, it’s the importance of diet breaks. Think of it as one step back to make bigger steps forward possible, like retreating in a battle to regroup, then attack and vanquish the enemy (which in this case is body fat).

To be successful with a diet, you not only need to know when to make diet adjustments but when to take diet breaks also.  These breaks should be taken carefully, with a plan in mind, to be successful.  Listen to my tips and plan your vacation today! 

Collagen is found in all of our connective tissues, tendons, ligaments, and bones with its purpose being to provide these body parts with their strength, structure, and elasticity. Along with its bioactive capabilities, collagen peptides also provide the body with the specific amino acids required to do so. Consumption of collagen peptides will help supply the body with amino acids needed as building blocks to renew tissues, like skin, bones, and joints.  However, how can it be incorporated properly into our diet??  Listen and learn! 

I am often challenged by individuals who face conflict with accepting the reality of needing to ask for help when it comes to weight loss and wellness.  In a world where we pay for services to accommodate so many of our other needs, having a professional guide you through the process of learning how to master your wellness should not be a question.  The question is... why is it such a struggle when we are faced with having an open mind?  Listen and learn! 

Even though weight can be a touchy subject, the ideas that weight loss is always positive and that being thin is a reliable indicator of overall health can make the weight feel like an appropriate topic for workplace bonding.  In a society that is full of weight-loss-seeking individuals, it can be very difficult when comments are made about lifestyle changes being put into place.   See how common this is and how you can handle these uncomfortable situations.

Why are you snacking?  Is it stress?  Are you bored?  Are you lonely?  Is it just a habit that you have created over the years and you don't know how to break it?  Are you one of the lucky ones who doesn't actually know which of the above causes you to mindlessly munch?  To add to the issue, does this munching become amplified if you are stressed?  If you are one of the millions of people who make it through most of the day on a good eating path, only to toss it away when the emotional snacking gets in your way, this episode will help you!  Listen to the strategies that can prevent you from senseless snacking! 

No one is immune from sidelining events. There are innumerable reasons why one might be forced to take an extended rest period from exercise, and each of us will more than likely face this scenario on at least one occasion.

Injury, illness, and LIFE happens. How you handle these things makes all the difference. And that doesn't necessarily mean buckling down and charging forward more intensely; it can also mean slowing down and letting yourself heal. Here are my suggestions for getting through a sidelining event.
