When it comes to fitness and nutrition, making mistakes is part of the journey, but learning from them is how we grow. In this episode, hosts Rusty (Coach Frizzle) and Coach Nel share the biggest nutrition mistakes they made and overcame.

They discuss struggles with restrictive eating, and using food as punishment. You’ll learn why sustainable habits matter, how to better understand macros, and why calories should be treated as targets, not budgets. They also dive into the emotional side of weight loss and how focusing on healthy habits leads to long-term success.

The biggest take away with today's episode is: if you want to maintain a healthy relationship with food you need to think about how to maintain that relationship in the long run.

If you’re looking to avoid common pitfalls and develop a healthier relationship with food and fitness, this episode is for you!

This episode is *full* of advice, insight, and tips on making friends with fullness.

December can feel like one non-stop food festival with the endless amounts of food

If there's one thing that December is full of: it's events. If there's one thing those events are full of: it's food and alcohol.

And if there's one thing we're trying not to do: it's avoid feeling uncomfortable around those snacks and bevvies.

Friends, work parties, the pressure of alcohol, the endless snack tables, and finding the perfect outfit -

We're flipping the coin from last weeks talk on how family dynamics can impact our food choices over the holidays - and we're talking about all the other festivities and how they impact our food.

How would you describe the holiday season?

Fun, exciting, energetic, joyful, festive .... sure

But for many of us we may also use words like tiring and overwhelming -

or what about anxious, derailing, challenging (especially when it comes to our food).

With all the events, dinners and endless homemade cookies - it's no surprise we often feel a sense of anxiousness as the holidays come up.

How can you find the balance between memory making and famous family dishes while not completely derailing your progress? Can you do it without feeling guilty about it?

Is it possible to go through the holidays without "starting over" again come January 1?

Yes, it is.

Santa called, and he said to give yourself the gift of a guilt free holiday season (because apparently the elves can't make that).

In this episode we talk about 5 ways you can enjoy the holidays, feel empowered with your choices, maintain progress, and still enjoy some of Grandmas famous homemade cookies

Seatbelts!
