I have a question for you today that will take us back to the basics of the Trim Healthy Mama (THM) plan.
What if you focused on just staying on plan?
No worries about the scale or how fast or slow your weight loss is.
No overthinking what's working, what's hard, or what you don't like about it.
Life happens. We all get overwhelmed by the constant juggling of responsibilities.
But what if, amidst all the chaos, your only focus was this simple, yet life-changing goal: Stay on plan.
Staying on plan doesn’t mean perfection;...
Today, I’m diving into one of my favorite coaching tools, which is an absolute game-changer for women in menopause. This tool, when applied consistently, can help you show up differently in your Trim Healthy Mama journey and finally see those lasting results you’ve been after.
So, if you want something different, you’ve got to do something different.
I know, easier said than done, right?
That’s where this tool comes in. I first learned it from Brooke Castillo at The Life Coach School. It’s called “The Model,” and it has roots in teachings from various mentors, all beautifully refined into this one mindset tool.
This tool came into my life when I was knee-deep in perimenopause, dealing with a lot of heavy stuff—health crises, family challenges, the whole nine yards. This mindset model...
You know, I often find myself doing more life coaching than weight loss coaching.
Why?
Because weight loss is a mindset issue, knowing what and how to eat is crucial, but managing our minds to perform consistently is the key to long-term success.
Today, I’m not even talking about food; I want to share a personal experience that also translated into a coaching call. It’s about worry—something we all struggle with, especially in midlife.
During midlife, our brains and emotions undergo significant changes. What we once handled with ease may now be more challenging due to hormonal shifts.
As we approach menopause, our propensity to worry can increase, leading to what I call "mental loops."
These loops are repetitive thoughts that keep us stuck in worry, affecting our mental...
Emotional eating is when we use food to make ourselves feel better rather than to satisfy hunger. It’s something I've experienced personally and helped my clients overcome. Conquering emotional eating takes time and daily practice. It’s not about using a simple tool for a little bit and then you're cured; it’s about consistently reminding yourself of the truth.
My journey with emotional eating began when I noticed that sometimes I’d eat out of boredom or when it wasn’t meal time. I wasn’t even hungry! I'd catch myself mid-bite, thinking, "Wait, why am I eating these tortilla chips?" That’s when I began to become aware of my habits.
Emotional eating gives us temporary comfort. It’s that quick dopamine hit that feels great in the moment but doesn’t...
Hello friends and welcome to our journey towards a healthier, more balanced life! Today, I'm excited to share with you how I set myself up for success each day, week, and even month. As a busy midlife mama, juggling multiple roles as a business owner, mom, wife, sister, daughter, and friend, I know firsthand how overwhelming it can be to manage everything while trying to maintain healthy habits and lose weight.
When I first started this journey, my brain resisted the idea of planning and pre-deciding my days. It seemed like a lot of work, and I didn't want to think through everything I needed to do. But I've learned that taking time on the front end is the key to success. When I follow my planning routine, I feel more in control and less frantic. When I don't, chaos ensues.
With nine kids, four still at home, and two homeschooling, plus recently graduating my 17-year-old...
When it comes to your weight loss journey and navigating menopause with the right hormones and exercise, I'm always thinking about what you need and want to hear. I listen to other podcasts or conversations so that I can glean valuable insights to share with you. My goal is to provide you with the keys to success, whether it's achieving weight loss or managing menopause symptoms.
I often enjoy breaking down recent coaching experiences because they reflect how I coach and learn to make the best choices for my own health. The beauty of coaching lies in not just getting educated but in learning how to apply that knowledge effectively.
By sharing my journey and those of my clients, I hope to offer practical tips that you can easily incorporate into your life.
Today, I want to talk about a topic many of us grapple with: why is it so hard to lose weight in menopause....
Let's go ahead and address the elephant in the room and give you the master key on how to lose weight and keep it off: commitment.
It's a commitment to yourself, not to the scale, because the number one thing that keeps women from attaining their goals is that they quit.
I'm going to be talking about something that I see happening with the majority of the clients that I work with. And I've had some run-ins with this particular topic myself, and it really is about commitment. Now, there are a lot of other factors that play into weight loss, so we can't just rely on commitment alone without understanding those factors.
Even if you are committed, and maybe, just maybe, it's still not working, when you were committed, you stayed until the end and figured it out. When you're not truly committed, you quit, and then you end up...
This is a letter from your Trim Healthy Coach, Kris Honecutt, for the midlife woman who craves health and weight loss.
I've penned down these words with you in mind, intending to offer keys that I have learned that can help you toward success.
It's a journey filled with twists, turns, and sometimes unexpected detours, but it's also a journey of self-discovery, resilience, and triumph.
As I reflect on the invaluable experiences shared with my clients over the years, I've distilled some pearls of wisdom that I believe can guide you on your unique path.
These insights are not meant to add pressure or expectations but rather to serve as gentle reminders and comforting companions as you...
Unlocking Success Through Decisiveness
In a world filled with health and wellness aspirations, many women over 40 find themselves yearning for powerful results.
However, "one of the number one things that keeps my clients from getting results" is often the lack of a firm decision-making foundation.
Today, let's dive into the strategies to help women over 40 make decisive choices and persistently pursue their health and wellness goals.
The Crucial Role of Quality Decisions
Making a quality decision is the cornerstone of success in any journey: weight loss, hormone support, or overall well-being.
You are 80% more likely to succeed at your efforts when you make that quality decision, but be warned, you need to make this decision often, sometimes daily.
To overcome this hurdle, create a checklist:
Life often brings disappointments, and today, I'm sharing my personal experience, particularly in the context of my health journey and recent Masterclass training. Disappointment is a common companion in our pursuits, whether it's achieving goals or navigating the challenges of a weight loss and health journey.
Disappointment is a universal part of life—a delicate balance between setbacks and successes, rejection and approval. We seldom discuss how to navigate and move through disappointment effectively. In my journey and with my clients, disappointment is a recurring theme, often rooted in unmet weight loss expectations.
I'm getting personal today, sharing my disappointment with my latest master class. The first one didn't go as planned, and the recent experience has left me introspective. My goal is...
No spam just me sharing Trim Healthy Mama wisdom with you each week.
