What a tough old day!!!. This was a very real & honest insight into what was shit show day in terms of mood, fatigue and mojo. The joys of peri menopause . The fun fact is this is normal & will happen on and off in Peri - again - it is normal. You will get the tough shit show days. Knowing it is normal and you're not alone might help - it is a wave and like waves they pass. Tomorrow is always another day

This podcast is just a little refresher on the basics & foundations needed for fat loss but primarily focusing on the importance of SLEEP and how poor sleep can hugely impact your progress. The aim of life is to thrive not just survive and sleep is one the key basic foundations .

I hope you enjoy this episode and if you have any questions please reach out to me on Instagram @VikkiCronin_TheMacroCoach or via my website www.themacrocoach.ie

Bonus episode recorded randomly on a Sunday morning. We all love chocolate. Well 99% of humans do and it is ranked as the 16th most popular and consumed food in the world. But it is also the one food that we tend to overconsume on, so this podcast today will hopefully help you with moderation of your favourite chocolate bar

Chocolate does not need to be eliminated from your life if you are dieting for fat loss but it does need to be moderated !!

This podcast is a tale of two halves. In the first half of this weeks episode I talk about Outcome Based Goals vs Behaviour Based Goals. Why its great to have the outcome goal but it really is the behaviour goals we need to focus on in order to achieve our desired outcome goal.

I also discuss Surfing the Urge and the strategy that can really help with cravings and emotional food / alcohol related responses and actions to situations and life issues.

Hope you enjoy and get some benefit from this podcast

Todays episode is all about hormones, periods, cravings and everything else that comes with the joys of being a female with a womb !! I talk about scales fluctuations, water retention, cravings, body image, mood swings and a little bit about training during your cycle.

I hope you ''enjoy'' and get some help and rationale around your menstrual cycle

Take home point - know your cycle and know how your body responds during the different phases of the menstrual cycle.

Thank you for listening.

In this episode I discuss a few things. Bit of a random chit chat with Vik podcast again !. I talk about how to reframe any investment into yourself or your fitness goals, I discuss habits and habit stacking and I also dip into some chats about how it doesn't get easier, you just get better at it. First it is an intention, then a behaviour, then a habit and over time it becomes you and your lifestyle.

Time and patience mixed with some self compassion and you will achieve your goals

Hope you enjoy and please let your friends know about my podcast if you find it helpful

Coming at you today with our first week into January done and dusted. Remember for any fat loss goals - it is a Marathon not a Sprint. Don't rush the process .

Todays podcast is all about something I posted about on Instagram last week. Under-Mealing aka being overly restrictive by day and why it might hinder you in terms of progress & adherence to your calories for fat loss.

Hope you enjoy and understand what I am talking about.

In this episode I talk in general about all things New Year and coming out of the Christmas haze. I discuss the motivational surge and riding that surge, hunger signals, adapting the basics vs the bullshit, building habits, negative body image and a little bit about hiring a coach.

If you like this podcast then please do share with your friends. Especially if you know someone about to nose dive into a juice detox !!! The Basics will suffice and will absolutely trump the unsustainable Bullshit

Little bit of a bonus episode that I hadn't planned to record this side of Christmas. But it was something that was on my mind and I feel it might help some people over the festive period . In this Episode I talk about the Power of Saying No and what this means in terms of Instant Gratification and Long Term Satisfaction. Saying no in the moment (instant gratification) to suit your goals in health & fitness (long term satisfaction) . The ability and the power of no is actually quite empowering and can go a long way with helping you in terms of your fat loss and health & fitness goals . I hope this helps. It may not resonate or make sense to you now but it also may be the light bulb moment for you in improving your relationship to food further down the line.

Time was not my friend in uploading this but again imperfect action is still action and it always trumps zero action.
