Discipline leads to freedom when it comes to your health as a midlife mom.  Unfortunately, our own past failures and toxic diet culture upbringing sometimes means we associate discipline with being restrictive or following extreme dieting rules. Today I'm going to share specific examples of how your healthy habits can lead to discipline and freedom in your body, mind and spirit.

Let's unravel the diet culture mentality we grew up with together and lose the decision fatigue in my private podcast series, ATOMIC HABITS FOR WOMEN.

Sometimes we tend to determine our worth or the quality of your workout by the calorie burn.  However, when you find yourself strength training--you might notice you aren't sweating buckets or having a high calorie burn and you might think it isn't that effective.  This is actually one of the most effective things you can do to turn into a fat burning machine and have a post workout afterburn that boosts your metabolism.  Today we'll focus on the benefits of strength training and habits you can implement to stay consistent to see and feel results!
