One of the most common frustrations I hear from my fellow Trim Healthy Mamas in midlife is the increase in fat around their waist.

Today, I want to share the top 5 foods you can use in your everyday routine that are simple and effective at burning fat and creating an optimal environment for a better, healthier, and faster metabolism. 

Understanding Fat Loss:

But first, let's debunk a common myth right off the bat: you can't spot-reduce belly fat with endless crunches or planks.

Our goal? Turning our bodies into fat-burning powerhouses.

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.

Understand Disappointment: It’s a 50/50 Reality

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.

Getting Real: My Disappointments

JOURNEY TO SUCCESSFUL WEIGHT LOSS AFTER MENOPAUSE

Starting a journey towards better health and a transformed lifestyle can be daunting, especially when faced with the challenge of breaking old habits and redefining success. 

For many women in midlife, the pursuit of weight loss and overall well-being often involves numerous attempts, each met with varying degrees of success. 

However, the key lies not in quick fixes but in embracing a sustainable, long-term approach. 

One of my clients, Alice, joins me to talk about her weight loss journey after menopause, highlighting the power of the Feminine Freedom Program (FFP) and the mindset shifts that can lead to lasting change.

“I never really felt successful; I never really gained success. I'm thinking most likely, because of the tweaks in lifestyle, I did improve eating habits, but not life-changing habits. So that was...

I want to talk about something that might raise an eyebrow or two – planning for failure. 

I can almost hear you saying, "Coach Kris, why on earth would I want to plan for failure? Isn't that counterproductive?"

Well, stick with me, and let's unpack why it's not just okay but crucial in our journey to wellness.

The Mindset Shift: Redefining Failure

Often, the fear of failure looms large when we start on a wellness journey. 

We question if we can truly show up for ourselves, especially when past attempts have left us feeling defeated. 

But what if we shifted our mindset and saw failure not as a dead-end but as a stepping stone? 

While talking to women in midlife, I often encounter the unspoken fear of failure. 

There is uncertainty if this time will be any different. 

Here's the thing – we need to...

Transformation. We toss this term around, but do we truly grasp its depth and power? 

Today, let's dive into the amazing process of transformation, particularly in the context of menopause. 

When you start on a transformation journey, whether it's a quest for weight loss, a newfound exercise routine, or the journey through menopause, our initial expectation often leans towards immediacy. We anticipate swift results, envisioning a rapid metamorphosis. However, real transformation is a patient artist, painting its masterpiece over time. It thrives on consistency, repetition, and the commitment to small, incremental improvements. This is where the magic lies and this is the long game we need to embrace.
