The wins I have shared here are awesome but there’s one testimonial, in particular, I think you should hear about…

How about a podcast episode where you hear the experience directly from the mouth of one of my former clients?! 🤯

A couple of months back, I had the privilege of having my former client, Judy, on my podcast. Judy is a powerhouse of a woman. She's a busy professional, a mother, and a grandmother, and she has big plans for the next phase of her life.

👂 I encourage you to listen in as Judy discusses what it's like being a coach, getting coached, and reaching her ultimate goal weight post-menopause.

As always, I am incredibly grateful to Judy for taking the time to meet with me and talk. It was a great experience and I hope you enjoy it, too. 💚

✨The holidays are here!

🦃If you live in the United States, it’s likely you’re celebrating Thanksgiving this Thursday.

(If you aren’t in the States, this advice applies to any food-based celebration)

👉🏻First, I would recommend treating the holiday the same as any other day that you might have some extra calories on.

🍽Bank some calories if you can, eat mindfully, enjoy bites of what you want, and decide whether you want to feel satiated and comfortable having enjoyed your food and not overeaten, or do you want to feel full and uncomfortable because you ate past your fullness cues?

The choice is entirely yours to make. Which leads me to…

🤔Set your expectations in advance and then set some parameters around how you want the day to look. What actions are required?

⚖️Based on your choices, you may need to find peace with how the scale will look for a few days.

👇🏻Here are some more Thanksgiving tips in no particular order.

✋🏻Use your hand to measure your portion sizes (see attached photo)
💦Drink a lot of water, starting with 8oz when you first wake up.
💧Drink another glass of water before you sit down to eat
🥛Have a protein shake with breakfast or lunch.
🍵Eat a smaller breakfast (or fast in the morning, if that’s your thing).
😬Chew slowly.
🍴If you’re talking to someone, put your knife and fork down. Finish the conversation, then go back to eating.
🥧Worried about sweets? “If it’s not a HELL YES!, it’s a no.”

🦃Above all else, remember that it’s 1 day. 1 day is not going to ruin all of your progress, just like 1 great day doesn’t make all of your progress.
