REDESIGNING MIDLIFE | Workout Motivation Over 50, Nutrition Facts, Health & Wellness, Fitness, Exercise Inspiration, Menopaus

In today’s episode, we’re tackling the overwhelming urge to quit—specifically, quitting on your journey to better health in midlife. Life is full of obstacles that make sticking to healthy habits tough, whether it is illness, injury, a packed schedule, or the frustration of slow progress. When things get hard, quitting is the easiest option, but it doesn’t lead to growth, confidence, or success. Instead of giving in, you need a plan to push through setbacks and stay on track. The key? Accept what’s happening and add “BUT.” Shift your mindset from frustration to problem-solving: “I’m sick, BUT I’ll rest and bounce back tomorrow,” or “The scale hasn’t moved, BUT I know I’m getting stronger.” Small mindset shifts keep you from falling back into old habits. So before you quit, take a beat, reframe the situation, and stay true to your goals. And hey—if this episode resonated with you, don’t forget to leave a 5-star review. Your support means the world!

WELCOME TO FEBRUARY! Making it through Dry January is a major accomplishment, but it comes with its challenges. Throughout the month, there are moments of withdrawal, even for occasional drinkers. The cravings for a drink at the end of a long day or during social events can be strong, and resisting them requires mindfulness and intention. Many people experience emotional ups and downs, ranging from frustration to moments of clarity and accomplishment. The struggle often comes down to making a conscious choice in each moment rather than reacting out of habit. Overcoming the initial discomfort is tough, but the sense of control and achievement that follows can be incredibly rewarding. Now that Dry January is over, the question becomes: what’s next? Does the commitment end on February 1st, or does the journey continue? Choosing to remain sober, even temporarily, is a decision that extends beyond just one month. The realization that cutting out alcohol has benefits—such as weight loss, financial savings, and a greater sense of control—can be compelling reasons to continue. Whether someone decides to stay alcohol-free, moderate their drinking, or return to old habits, the key is making mindful choices. For those who missed Dry January, starting in February or any other month is just as valid. Sobriety is not about the calendar; it’s about making choices that align with one’s personal goals and well-being.

This week, I’m reflecting on what it means to truly commit to your workouts and nutrition. It’s so easy to get started and just go through the motions, but phoning it in doesn’t help you reach your goals. Whether it’s cutting your workout short, dragging out rest periods, or barely moving your legs on the bike, half-assing your efforts only prolongs your results. If you’re going to do it, be all in—focused, intentional, and ready to get it done. The same goes for your nutrition. Following your plan all week only to undo your progress over the weekend or breaking your commitment “just this once” is self-sabotage. Sticking to your goals is about deciding whether you’re fully in or out—there’s no middle ground.  Remember, something is better than nothing, but full effort is what truly drives success. Don’t settle—commit and make it count. Find me on my Website: https://www.lesleylmcshane.com Questions?

The week between Christmas and New Year often feels overwhelming as we set lofty expectations and resolutions for the new year. But let’s face it—life happens. Changes in work, finances, health, and relationships can shift priorities in an instant. Often, we set ourselves up for failure by overloading on too many goals. By the second Friday in January, known as "Quitter’s Day," most resolutions are abandoned. This year, let’s do it differently. What if you focused on one big thing for 2025? Identify the one goal that would make you proud a year from now. Say it out loud, own it, and map out small steps to move toward it. Whether it’s improving your nutrition, fitness, or overall well-being, start small and focus on just January or even the first week. Clear out the clutter—both in your pantry and in your mind—and take the first steps toward your goal. Whether it’s a 5-day clean eating challenge, a new workout routine, or simply getting better sleep, make choices that align with the future you want. Life doesn’t stop, and neither should you.

Do you wear your stress like a heavy jacket that you never take off? Does it keep you from doing the things you know you need to do for your midlife health? Does it cause you stress eat or skip your workouts?  You wouldn't be alone. Being stressed and skipping workouts is a vicious cycle. One you need to break. Because when you workout, your stress levels ebb and you feel better. And when you feel better, you eat better. It's a much healthier cycle. One that is very important in our midlife.

I've had the privilege of witnessing the ebbs and flows of countless women on their midlife health journeys. One undeniable truth that emerges time and again is the rollercoaster of emotions tied to progress, especially when it comes to weight. Week by week, I've seen elation morph into frustration at the slightest deviation from expectations on the scale.  But here's the thing – progress isn't always measured in pounds lost. It's about recognizing the victories, big or small, and understanding that the journey is rarely a straight line. It's about perseverance through the tough times, knowing that each step forward, no matter how small, is a testament to your strength and commitment.  So, to all the women out there navigating the challenges of midlife, remember to focus on how you feel, the strides you've made, and the unwavering belief that better days are ahead. Keep pushing forward, because an amazing week is just around the corner. So go out and get that midlife body moving! Find me on my Website: https://www.lesleylmcshane.com Questions?

There are many that think they are doing what they should be doing and making all the right decisions when it comes to their midlife fitness and nutrition. But how many lies are the telling themselves?  "I deserve this cookie". "I worked out yesterday so I don't have to do it today." "I lifted weights. They were only 1pounders, but they count." "This nightly glass of wine is for my mental health." We tell ourselves so many lies and then we forget.

We have certain ideas of how we "think" we should feel or perform in our workouts at our age. But bottom line: We will never feel the same way we did when we were 20. We won't be able to throw as far, run as fast, hit as hard - and so on and so on. You have to learn to be okay with that and work to just be as fit as you can for the age you are.  You might even surprise yourself.

Performance and Mindset Coach Leah Jantzen has heard all of the midlife excuses - I can’t. I don’t have time. It costs too much. I don’t know how. I’m too old. And on and on.  She says it's time to put yourself on the hook for a change. Of course you can, change your priorities. Choosing good health doesn't cost anything. Everyone has time. And what is too old? There is no such thing. Leah knows that if she can do the things she has done, then so can you. And she has done some amazing things this year. She'll tell us all about those things and how she was successful before delving into how we can do the same things at whatever level we would like to be successful. It's all about mindset, having a desire, making the choice, and then being committed to it. Better health is a needed investment in yourself. And what do we call investment in yourself - GOOD SELF-CARE! And that is something we all need. I am so honored to have Leah back on the podcast this year. She was on last January to talk to us about getting back on track with resolutions, which you should check out.

Changes are inevitable, but the magic happens when we choose to be intentional about them. Many women hesitate to give themselves permission to explore what they truly want at this stage of life.  Listen in as we explore the fear associated with change, the significance of intentional living, and the abundant choices women like us often underestimate.

In this episode, I engage in a dynamic conversation with Donna Klassen, co-founder, and CEO of Let's Talk Menopause. The episode underscores a pivotal shift in menopause  – it's not just about talking; it's about making tangible changes. Notably, a groundbreaking bill for increased menopause research funding was introduced in the House in December, signaling a crucial first step in addressing the under-researched realm of menopause. Donna emphasizes the urgency of getting science-based information to empower effective decision-making. The episode sheds light on the nuanced nature of menopause, urging listeners to embrace the journey and find ways to feel better, recognizing that not every day will be a triumph. Importantly, the conversation delves into the significant yet often overlooked aspects of menopause, such as the challenges faced by breast cancer survivors and the chronic and progressive nature of Genitourinary Syndrome of Menopause (GSM). Throughout, the call for informed choices echoes, with practical advice on navigating the plethora of information available, and a plea for unity in supporting the Menopause Research & Equity Act of 2023. This episode not only informs but also inspires action, marking a crucial moment in the ongoing menopause movement!

Welcome to the final episode of Redesigning Midlife for 2023!  As we wrap up this amazing year, I want to take you on a journey through the highs and lows, victories and challenges, and the invaluable lessons I've gathered throughout this year.  I feel it is crucial to acknowledge imperfections and recognize the significance of curiosity, self-acceptance, and shared experiences in navigating the complexities of midlife. As we bid farewell to 2023, I invite you to join me in a reflective Year in Review and look at the year ahead.  In this final episode of 2023, I delve into the success of the podcast, its global impact, and what I consider my greatest achievement of the year: being a positive voice for midlife women.  Together, we explore the power of reflection and the importance of understanding our own strength. Amidst all of the midlife and menopause misinformation and companies and other voices that prey on us and our fears in midlife, I encourage you to seek out voices that uplift and empower.  Join me as we embrace the transformative potential of reflection and bid farewell to 2023 with gratitude, wisdom, and a renewed sense of self.

In this conversation with "Gray Area" Coach, Speaker, and Corporate Trainer, Kari Schwear, we learn how increased alcohol consumption can sneak up on us, moving into the abuse phase before we even realize it. We talk about the importance of paying attention to any internal questions and the dialogue we have with ourselves, urging us to "question the drink" rather than ignore it. Kari sheds light on the "gray area" of drinking, a space where many find themselves between social drinking and severe abuse. With six stages of change, she guides us from contemplation to preparation, urging us to find our own "enough." It's a crucial mission, as 50% of alcohol consumers fall into this gray area. We discuss the benefits of being sober or alcohol-free, which are MANY!  So, if you've ever questioned your drinking, remember, you're not alone, and it's okay not to be okay – start the conversation.

In this interview with Dr. Mary Claire Haver, author of The Galveston Diet, she emphasizes the importance of moving away from calorie counting and focusing on quality nutrition and movement, especially during menopause. She confirms what we've all found out, that what worked for us in our thirties may not be effective anymore during menopause. Dr. Haver and I also discuss the challenges women face during menopause, including weight gain, hormonal changes, and the importance of understanding hormones beyond just estrogen. She highlights the significance of managing inflammation through proper nutrition and habits. And guess what? Midlife fitness and nutrition are the top two components of the "menopause toolkit" for maintaining health during this phase of life. Take control of your midlife health, fitness, and nutrition.

If you skip this week's task, over time regular activities will become more difficult. And this could be the difference between feeling good or starting a slow slide into poor health. Moving around in various ways throughout the day helps you perform your daily activities. But if you don’t and find that you are stiff all the time, then getting up out of a chair, out of your car, and any number of other “regular” activities will become more difficult. Doing mobility and stretching exercises will keep your muscles flexible and having that flexibility will allow you to have a better range of motion in all of your joints.

In this episode, Clara Capano, an international speaker, trainer, and bestselling author, delves into the topics of burnout, success, and the quest for clarity. Clara highlights a common misconception – the belief that one can effortlessly keep all the plates spinning until realizing it's not sustainable.  Recognizing the tendency to normalize life's hectic pace, Clara dispels the myth that seeking help is a sign of weakness. The episode delicately touches on the consequences of neglecting self-care, the thoughtful art of scheduling life, and the transition from pursuing a work-life balance to cultivating work-life harmony. Clara encourages listeners to liberate themselves from external expectations, embrace their unique visions, and, above all, stay present in their lives Make sure to go find Clara at her website:  https://www.claracapano.com/ YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/@MomentsofClaraty Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/claracapano/ Find me on my Website: https://www.lesleylmcshane.com Questions?

Most of us are thankful for something, but we may not be able to put our finger on it or even explain WHY we are grateful for that thing. Gratitude is a practice that people think is easy, but when we are surrounded by negative soundtracks all day, it is hard to come up with reasons why we are thankful.  This week, let's focus on becoming aware of the things around us that we are thankful for and see how our minds starts to look for those things throughout the day.  Thanks for being here and I look forward to having you back NEXT WEEK for WEEK 4.

Welcome my friend Mindset and Performance Coach Michael Seiler from Metta Endurance in this coaching session that he led for the women in the Midlife in Motion Fitness & Lifestyle program back in October.  In this coaching session we dive into the transformative power of a positive mindset. Michael emphasizes the crucial role of mindset when tackling challenges, especially during the formation of habits. Whether facing obstacles or straying from the path, a positive mindset serves as the guiding force that helps individuals bounce back and stay committed.  We also discuss imposter syndrome, a formidable obstacle for many. Michael stresses the importance of mindset in silencing the negative self-talk associated with imposter syndrome, highlighting the key hurdle of awareness.  Shifting our language plays a pivotal role in our mindset process, as Michael encourages reframing phrases like "I need to" or "I have to" to "GET TO," illustrating how this simple twist empowers individuals and alleviates self-imposed pressure. Join us as we explore the profound influence of words, the role of the Reticular Activating System in shaping our narratives, and the transformative power of starting small on the journey to personal growth and success.

I love setting a good, actionable goal, but one of the early themes in James Clear's book "Atomic Habits" poo-poos goals in favor of systems & processes. As I read about it, it stopped me dead in my tracks and think it deserves a thorough investigation to see how that thought can help you AND me hit our weight loss goal or ANY OTHER goal that we might have in mind for ourselves.  This is a great discussion and topic as we move through the holiday months. Take good care of your midlife health friends. It will save you some day. Find me on my Website: https://www.lesleylmcshane.com Questions?

We are creatures of habit. We settle into the familiar, even if it isn't comfortable, because we feel that any change will be painful. Our brains want to keep us safe, even if our current situation isn't necessarily good for us. We will repeatedly bang our heads up against a wall if that is what we've always done. But if CHANGE is screaming out to you - heed it's call. You never know what's on the other side. Get that midlife bod moving! Just sayin!

In our conversation with Finlay+Green CEO and renowned Hollywood Makeup Artist Helen Marray-Finlay, we get into the significant impact of menopause on skincare. There is a significant influence of declining estrogen levels on the skin, leading to increased sensitivity and notable changes in texture. During menopause, it's crucial to adopt a gentle skincare regimen, avoiding harsh ingredients like retinol and focusing on hydration and minimalism. Helen stresses the importance of staying hydrated, using products rich in hyaluronic acid and squalene, and diligently applying sunscreen with at least 45 SPF. We talked about her new line of products, which I am currently using and enjoying very much. Helen's dedication to creating an accessible, science-driven skincare line tailored to the needs of menopausal women reflects her commitment to enhancing self-care and empowerment for women during this transformative phase of life. I hope that you will go check out the Finlay+Green Moisturizer at their site: https://finlayandgreen.com/ You can also find Helen on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/finlayandgreen/ Or you can email Helen directly if you have questions.

No doubt that our entrenched self-limiting belief are very often our biggest barrier to overcome. This is where self-affirming talk is important. Having a mantra. Reading affirmations – turning that negativity into positive statements about ourselves. Why not just be up for the challenge as opposed to automatically thinking that you CAN’T do something. You have to believe in yourself and that anything is possible. Challenge your negative thoughts about yourself. When your head says you CAN’T do something – pull out some other accomplishment that you once thought was impossible. If you can do that thing – you can do anything.  Midlife is only halfway - let's kill it! Find me on my Website: https://www.lesleylmcshane.com Questions?

Everyone writes off the last 6-7 weeks of the year. The candy rolls in over Halloween and carbs rule Thanksgiving to Christmas. The parties and the alcohol flow more than usual. So many people to see, things to do, and shopping to be done that our workouts become non-existant.  And then we show up January 1st.

You are going to need to make an investment in yourself. And as we all know – it takes a very, very long time for our investments to show a decent profit. The same is true with our health and fitness. Gains don’t happen overnight. They don’t happen in a week and sometimes even a month.  The biggest investment you can make in yourself is TIME. The Time you need to workout, to build a good weekly menu, to make healthy food or meal prep for your lunches, to join support groups to make the lifestyle changes you know you need. Your first hurdle is going to be knowing that you are WORTH that investment of time in yourself. You are. We are ALL worth the effort that we put into ourselves to make this life – this one trip – the best it can be.  Get your midlife health into gear! Don't let time run out!

Everyone who has been successful has had to EMBRACE THE SUCK along the way. When we know that we can get through, we gain confidence that we will be successful at some point in the future.  You know what they say - you don't learn as much when you are winning all the time - it's when you are losing that you gain the most insight. We ALL lose MOST of the time, so use those experiences to learn about yourself and then test new ways to push yourself. Accept the challenge to make it better. Use the adversity of your situation to make yourself better this time and all the times after. Get that MIDLIFE body moving! Find me on my Website: https://www.lesleylmcshane.com Questions?

There are so many of us that don’t realize how blessed we are in this life and in our everyday movement. But some people actually can't get the kind of movement they want whether physically or situationally. But you can, but are choosing not to. We don’t know what we have until it is gone. Literal songs have been written using that sentiment and those words –usually about love, but what about your health?  We most certainly take for granted any good health  that we have – and don’t appreciate it until it is gone or we temporarily or permanently don’t have it anymore. Ask any athlete who has ever been injured – where they once dreaded hard workouts, they now wish more than anhthing that they could do a hard workout. I want nothing more than to impress on you to not to wait too long in  starting to understand and appreciate what you have. And I encourage you to maintain or improve your health through both movement and nutrition.  Make the easy choices to ensure it is many years until you can't do something.

In this episode, we dive into the fascinating world of Adult ADHD with the wonderful Franki Bagdade, a Therapist and ADHD Coach. ADHD is far from a one-size-fits-all condition. It comes in various subtypes, and it's often missed, especially in girls and women. We explore the possibility of an undiagnosed ADHD from childhood, debunk the myth of bad parenting, and emphasize that ADHD doesn't just disappear as we get older; it evolves. Franki underscores the vital importance of getting a diagnosis, as undiagnosed ADHD can lead to self-medication and substance abuse. We also delve into the emotional toll of undiagnosed ADHD, the challenges of executive functioning, and how anxiety can overlap with this condition. But here's the silver lining: a diagnosis is a pathway to healing and embracing your unique strengths. We also touch on the bright side of ADHD, like creativity and quick problem-solving skills. Furthermore, for those approaching menopause, we discuss how ADHD can change, as well as the evolving landscape of medication effectiveness. We cover a wide range of coping strategies, from exercise and sensory techniques to supplements and useful resources for those seeking support. This episode sheds light on the often-overlooked world of ADHD, providing valuable insights and guidance for anyone navigating this complex condition.

WHAT IS AN ENENY? An enemy is a person who is actively opposed or is hostile to someone or something.  When you look in the mirror would you ever say or think that you are your own worst enemy? You know we talk about your brain trying to keep you safe because it cares for you, loves you even. But what if we look at our mind as the enemy – that thing that is actively opposed to us getting uncomfortable in our workouts or in our nutrition in order to improve our health.  The mind becomes HOSTILE and works hard to turn you back to your old bad habits. It tries to tell you that you are safe in your comfort zone with your comfort food. And that it will take care of you, but it is actually acting as an enemy of your state. So what is your worst enemy telling you today about working out? That you are tired or that you don’t have enough time or that tomorrow is better.   Notice the voice and then go do it anyway. Get the job done today because  tomorrow it will be the same. It is a battle you will fight over and over. But you will win because you’ve got me here to push you through.

We all have the best of intentions, especially at the start of a new year. We are going to do better or turn things around. We resolution ourselves without setting ourselves up with a plan to achieve the success.

So HOW MUCH TIME does it take to focus on your health? We all get so pooled up in the idea that more is more that we can’t take steps toward progress unless we are taking HUGE steps toward it. Like we’ve got to workout for an hour or more every single day. And if we’re not able to take those big steps, then we’ll take none. Go big or go home – right?  Wrong.  As long as you have a good plan that you work consistently for the 15-30 minutes that you find during your day, you have PLENTY of time to work on making progress in your midlife fitness. But you have to be focused and ready to work those 15-30 minutes.  Let's talk about the ways to DEBUNK that VITALITY MYTH that you don't have any time. Let's see where you DO HAVE TIME.

One of the biggest things that I do when looking for motivation or learning something new is to find some inspiration – I look for someone who has already mastered that thing and I watch them. Just the fact that they have learned or achieved the thing I want or desire, means that I can get there too.  They have cracked the code – no need for me to learn how to crack the code, too. I’ve just to got to take what they did, mold it around my circumstances and move forward. And once I accomplish that, I pay it forward by being the inspiration for someone else who is taking their first step. Use the learning curve, be the learning curve.

How many times have you pushed off the start date of WHEN you are going to start working out or start of focus on your health? We all WANT to, but there is a caveat. We have to get to an arbitrary time. When we have more time, when it's cooler, when it's January 1st. It reminds me of Tom Cruise in Top Gun where he is afraid to engage in the air battle below. “It doesn’t look good.” Everybody in the audience knows that he just has to do it – the situation will never be perfect, but he has to overcome his fear and just DO IT.  “Talk to me Goose” he begs. Well today I am your GOOSE. And I am asking you – If not today, then when? Because I don’t think WHEN is ever going to get here. You’ve just got to do it.  Get that midlife body moving friend!

Midlife Health is something that we don't consider until we are "in the zone." We spend our younger years doing and eating and drinking what we want, but all of a sudden we are at an age where all we talk about is what hurts, bathroom issues, weight gain, and that we're tired all the time. Life changes overnight and we become ultra aware that there are certain things that we need to be paying attention to when it comes to our health. We know that if we don't focus on health, we likely won't feel our absolute best. It may seem overwhelming, but by keeping these six things in check, the complaints about your midlife health might decrease. Take care of yourself and your midlife health. Your future self thanks you. Find me on my Website: https://www.lesleylmcshane.com Questions?

I’ve called this episode Debunking Vitality Myths. I just made that up – and I have no idea if those are a thing – but that is what they are – they are myths. Which I also call LIES or even EXCUSES when we would rather just not try, but need to say something. Acceptance of a situation is all yours. If you want to say that you are too old or or that it’s too late, then go ahead and say it. It’s not true, but go ahead. Let's Get Our Midlife Into Motion!!

In this interview with Dr. Mary Claire Haver, author of The Galveston Diet, she emphasizes the importance of moving away from calorie counting and focusing on quality nutrition and movement, especially during menopause. She confirms what we've all found out, that what worked for us in our thirties may not be effective anymore during menopause. Dr. Haver and I also discuss the challenges women face during menopause, including weight gain, hormonal changes, and the importance of understanding hormones beyond just estrogen. She highlights the significance of managing inflammation through proper nutrition and habits. And guess what? Midlife fitness and nutrition are the top two components of the "menopause toolkit" for maintaining health during this phase of life. Take control of your midlife health, fitness, and nutrition. Your body will thank you!

So when you listen to the open of the show, do you ever listen to it? One of the statements in the open is “Do you wake up saying, I’m starting today and then end the day with I’ll start again tomorrow?” Is this you? Are you all fired up in the morning, but then your day goes sideways and you declare at the end of the day to write that one off and you’ll start again tomorrow? How many of us have had all best intentions to take care of ourselves, but when it isn’t convenient, we just push it off to the next day. It's time to realize and wake up to the fact that TODAY is YESTERDAY'S TOMORROW. It's time to get our midlife moving! Or our Midlife in Motion as it were! MIDLIFE FITNESS IS KEY!

Would you start a new business that will cost you time and effort without a good business plan? NO, you wouldn't. Would you start a new health journey that will cost you time and effort without a plan? NO, you shouldn't. Anything you build on quicksand, will no prevail. You have to know where you are, where you want to go, how you are going to get there, how long it will take to get there, and how you are going to deal with the hard when it happens. Getting your midlife in motion starts with building a good foundation on which everything else will be built.

Welcome to your weekly Motivation to get your body moving! Working out, and sport in general, is meant to be a social event. It is the perfect activity to share commonalities with others like you.  They are the ones that know why you are doing what you do. They know the struggle. They know the rewards. They understand when you are having a good day and when you’re having a bad day. And best of all, they can inspire or motivate you to do this activity when you aren’t feeling like it.  On the flip side of that – you can motivate someone else who is having a hard time rallying.  So GET SOCIAL!

At a certain age, it is easy to throw it into cruise control and take our hands off the wheel. We feel we’ve conquered enough and want to sail through the rest of our years.  But where does this lead? What is the benefit of never being curious enough to learn or try something new? If we aren’t continually evolving into new versions of ourselves, we may get left behind.

Holistic Health Coach, Bria Gadd is here as we delve into the fascinating world of perimenopause and its often-misunderstood intricacies. Did you know that about 45% of women mistakenly think perimenopause and menopause are one and the same? Let's clear that up. Perimenopause is like a reverse puberty, hitting around age 35. It's when our reproductive hormones shift from ovaries to the adrenal glands, causing a rollercoaster of symptoms like weight gain, brain fog, and those dreaded night sweats. Now, what's truly intriguing is how these symptoms stem from a dance between progesterone and estrogen. Imagine, when one's off-balance, the other follows suit. Progesterone, highly sensitive to stress and inflammation, often takes a backseat as the adrenal system steps in. But here's the kicker: 75% of symptomatic women aren't seeking help! We'll explore ways to let your hormones heal themselves. Quality sleep (7-9 hours ladies!), proper hydration, and stress reduction through nutrition and movement form the pillars of rejuvenation. So, dive in with a positive mindset – this transition can be a catalyst for empowerment. Remember, change is our forte; embrace it and emerge stronger.

In this episode, we dive headfirst into the  the art of 'choosing again.' Remember that time you enthusiastically committed to a daily workout routine but ended up binge-watching cat videos instead? Yeah, we've all been there.  Alright, let’s pause for a flex moment here. You're on a noble quest for abs and vitality, and guess what? It’s like a real-life video game. You stumble, you fumble, and then, here comes the magic – you hit the "choose again" button!  Gabby Bernstein is onto something, my fitness comrades. Think about it – when you're Netflix and chilling instead of gym thrilling, or your broccoli becomes brocc-uh-oh-I-ate-chocolate-cake, cut yourself some slack!  You're as normal as a cat meme on the internet. The real secret sauce here is CHOOSING AGAIN. Don't forget how you felt making a less than decision to help you next time, but no guilt trips allowed.

We thought that things would get less chaotic when our nest was empty and we could get back to the ease of September. But it didn’t happen. Empty holes have a way of attracting piles of dirt to fill it in. Same with time. When you have time available, it will fill faster than you can say “me time”. We get to this point in our lives, in midlife, and feel like we don’t have any real control and we’ve forgotten how to regain control of that power But never fear, I’ve got 7 ways to start taking that control back. This is not a finite list, just 7 things that I’ve personally worked on in my own life. So get a pen if you aren’t driving or walking your dog, and let’s review, shall we?

In a recent heart-to-heart with my husband, Mike, I decided to crack the code on his motivation for maintaining his health. His response? Exercise is his ultimate drug – his way of scoring those sweet, legal endorphins. Essentially, he’s chasing that "exercise high," and honestly, who can blame him? Here's the kicker – it got me pondering. If exercise is the legal high, then I must be YOUR enthusiastic pusher. Yup, you heard that right. Picture me in a workout guru disguise, pushing exercise like a street dealer peddling happiness.  I’m not dragging you into a dark alley; I’m guiding you to the light of a longer, healthier life. I want you strutting out of a workout session like a rock star, oozing confidence, and radiating so much positivity that you might just start your own exercise-pushing cartel.  So, here’s the deal – lace up those sneakers, get that heart racing for a mere 30 minutes today, and then do it all over again tomorrow. Five days later, come back and tell me you haven’t caught the contagious "feel better" bug. Let’s turn this world into a bunch of exercise junkies, boosting our happiness and extending our lifespans one rep at a time. Find me on my Website: https://www.lesleylmcshane.com Questions?

Menopause, the word that I'm using as a collective for the whole physical perimenopause, menopause, and post-menopausal journey, is quite a surprise if you aren't ready for it. Even if you think you're ready for it, you might not be.  And if you aren't ready for it, then the fella in your life is definitely not ready for it. It can be just as surprising to him as it is to you. Every male involved with a woman of a certain age will be faced with menopause, too. And while he might not experience all of the symptoms, he needs to know where he stands and what he can do to use that "I've gotta fix it" mentality.

Women often wrestle with body image, aspiring to be smaller and chasing the elusive ideal of "skinny." However, let's shift the focus. What truly matters is being fit and strong. Losing weight might seem like the goal, but let's reframe it – aim to shed fat and gain functional strength.  Remember, skinny doesn't equate to healthy or strong. Research underscores that being fit enhances longevity, fending off muscle loss and even diabetes.  Engaging in consistent cardio and resistance training not only transforms your body composition but also bolsters self-esteem. So, ask yourself, do you want to be skinny or embrace a journey of becoming fit, strong, and healthy as you age?  It's time to redefine your midlife goals for a fulfilling future.

But hold up, eager beaver – don't crown yourself champion of the shopping cart just yet. And don't fall into the trap of premature rewarding. Picture this: you pledge to conquer a mini-marathon, and your friends rain applause upon you. Bravo, future athlete!

It’s a journey, not a shopping spree! So, learn from the best-worst examples of pre-success celebrations and keep your goals under wraps until they're ripe for the spotlight.

STRESS. It even sounds stressful. Today my guest, Stress and Lifestyle Management Coach Kathleen McDermott reminds us that we are not alone in our struggles during challenging times. Life is unpredictable and does not follow a set pattern. We often feel pressured to keep up a frantic pace in life, but sometimes all we need is to slow down and take time for ourselves. The culture of being constantly stressed and busy is not a badge of honor; it can lead to detrimental effects on our health and well-being. Stress affects all aspects of our body, and healing requires addressing both the mind and body. Becoming aware of our triggers and reactions is crucial to breaking free from habitual responses and finding better ways to cope. We are talking about the importance of self-care and setting boundaries and the idea of instead of seeking perfection, focus on doing things in a way that feels right for you. We explore the significance of sisterhood and the support that other women can provide. She encourages us to create a new legacy for ourselves and future generations by taking charge of our lives and seeking ways to feel better. Ultimately, the key to stress management lies in awareness, self-compassion, and choosing better ways to respond to life's challenges. Make sure to sign up for the RELATIONSHIP RESCUE SUMMIT happening the week of August 7th.  SO MANY amazing presenters to help you come back to YOU! I'll be there!

Was there someone at your school that you considered a bully?  This person had total control over how people felt about you and honestly about how you felt about yourself. A lot of times we weren’t able to succeed socially unless that bully allowed it to happen. And we hated it. And we hated that we allowed it to happen. When it comes to developing a habit of working out and getting into our best physical shape, we allow the world, people in our orbit, culture in general to tell us that we can’t reach those goals we have.  They become the bullies of our adult life. It's time to tell that bully that you won't be pushed around anymore. I want you to go at your health goals no matter what. Show your midlife how strong you are!

So I read something the other day and I’ve been thinking about it. Like a lot. It goes like this – If you are able to spot the greatness in others, some greatness already lives inside you.  We live in a time and age when people find it hard to spot the greatness in others, to be able to applaud them or be proud of them for it. Everyone is quick to tear each other down in order to feel good themselves. And We have all been guilty of it.  What we need to do is spot the greatness in someone else and use it to our own benefit. If you can find someone who has the discipline that you want – watch, learn, and emulate or copy.  If you can realize the greatness in this other person, then maybe you can realize some of the greatness inside yourself as well.  Your Best Midlife HEALTH Days are ahead of you - go get them!

I think it is very healthy to have a great balance of both short and long-term goals.

Isn't the core just your abs? How important is the core as we age? How do we make sure that ours is strong and what exercises can we do? ALL answers that Vigeo trainer and nutrition coach Megan Dahlman has for us today.

We've talked about it before. The word can’t. It doesn't have a shred of hope in it. And we use it a lot to talk about what we’re capable of and think we’re not capable of. Have you said any of the following?  I CAN’T cut give up carbs. I CAN’T lose weight. I CAN’T get up and workout in the morning. I CAN’T lift weights.  You’ve said these things to yourself so many times and for so long that it is a soundtrack that runs in your head. No question. No trying to disprove it. And it has become one that you believe.   But, I’ve got news for you that can either be good news or bad news. What you are telling yourself that you can’t do, that is a lie. You are lying to yourself. What if I told you that you can? Get on that midlife health and fitness. Better days are waiting for you. Find me on my Website: https://www.lesleylmcshane.com Questions?

Health Overwhelm is a real thing. I couldn't find a definition on Google for it, but it is real and many of us feel it. When we KNOW we have to do something about our health, but we aren't sure what or how. There is so much information out there - how do we decide what to do? What if we choose wrong? This week I am giving you permission to chill out on yourself a little bit. Instead of feeling overwhelmed in this moment, think of your health journey as a blank canvas in front of you. Get excited about the possibilities and all of the ways that you can paint this amazing picture of your future health. If you are motivated, you will create amazing things for yourself. This is a solo journey that you are at the helm of. Get excited. Be protective of your journey. And go get it. It is time to take charge of your midlife health. Every day gone is a day lost.

A few months ago on Instagram, Sara Blakely, the founder and CEO of Spanx posted something that has stuck with me. It was a picture of her drinking out of a coffee mug that read “when you’re getting your shit together it gets lonely. But choose growth over company.”  Let’s face a common reality. Not everybody in your life will be thrilled when you decide to get your shit together. They are comfortable with the you now – even if the you now really needs to make some serious health changes. They don’t want you to change.  When this happens, you may have to draw some lines, set some boundaries, cut some people out, or make some new friends with similar goals. It may be lonely for a hot minute.  But you've got this. Turn your midlife into something that everyone else wants - then you won't be lonely.

Sport. Your kid's sport specifically. We get so involved and engrained. Mike and I spent many years, dollars, vacations, blood, sweat, and tears supporting our kids in the sports they chose to pursue. We both love athletics and were more than happy to travel all over the country making sure they both got to learn all the lessons that sport teaches. But then it was over Where once a lot, if not most of our attention was on who was where, racing or playing what, there was nothing. Crickets. It is so hard not to feel as though a part of you has died when these days end. And as I said to someone just last week, and you never know when the last time will be. How do you ease the parental pain when your kid quits their sport and you aren't ready or weren't prepared. I've got your tips. Have a great Friday, a great weekend, and we'll see you next time.

Through personal tragedy, Functional Medicine Nutritionist Andrea Nakayama found that there are were things missing in healthcare, some gaps in treatments and how the patient is  viewed. She developed the YES, AND method, where we listen to the medical recommendation and then find out what else can we do. She says we have think differently about where we are taking our own care in addition to medical interventions. We use the body and treatment of it in the analogy of a tree with dying or sick branches, but instead of just cutting off the branches (the symptoms), we must find out what is happening at the soil level to improve the whole tree. In this episode we delve into many topics: 1. The definition and practices of functional nutrition, as well as functional medicine 2. Everything we need to be focusing on in between doctor visits 3. How to find and begin to work on the root causes of health issues 4. Hormone Balance and the Hormone pyramid in midlife 5. Supplements 6. Our health responsibility as the expert of ourselves and our bodies Make sure to continue getting educated - and go search out Andrea at her website: Andreanakayama.com Make sure to go back and listen again - such amazing information - and then make sure to RATE and REVIEW the show.

None of us pictures ourselves as a frail, little, old lady. We can’t fathom that one day we wouldn’t be able to go on a hike, walk up some stairs, or even live by ourselves, independently.  Think of the last frail older woman that you saw. Do you think that she imagined herself in her state 10 ,20, 30 years ago? Or do you think that she imagined herself doing all the things that you imagine that you will be doing in 10 and 20 years? Where did she go wrong?  Listen in and find out and then GET MOVING in your midlife! Find me on my Website: https://www.lesleylmcshane.com Questions?

Author Nicole Kalil, bringing her new book “Validation is for Parking - How Women Can Beat The Confidence Con” is with me today for the very important discussion about confidence - and how the confidence that we portray outwardly doesn't necessarily match up to how we feel inside. Nicole's story is a cautionary tale and one that a lot of us have experienced and faced. We appear and "act" very confident on the outside, but inside we are hiding and afraid of being "found out". We may even be in such a dark place because of our lack of authenticity that we don't know how we will ever escape. The beauty of it is that Nicole is here to help with all the ways we can shed that fear and begin to build confidence where it is most important - INSIDE of us. She is spilling the whys, whats, and the hows of confidence, our lack of it, and how we build it. It's important to remember that confidence and trust in ourselves is a continual journey. Not a final place to arrive. Make sure to find Nicole at all of the following to join her on a confidence journey.

Is strength training, resistance training, weight lifting (whatever you want to call it) part of your fitness routine? It should be. But if it isn't, maybe it's because you believe one or several of the 6 lies  about lifting weights as a woman. I'm here to disprove  those lies and when I'm finished, you'll want to get started right away. Midlife is a wonderful time to start some sort of resistance training. And it is never too late to get started. Remember that. Go get you some!

I’ve heard so many people say things like: “I can’t lose weight anyway”, “this pain is normal with getting older”, or “lifting weights is too hard” . They just put it out into the universe. What the universe hears is that you are okay with your weight and can’t lose it, that you expect a certain amount of pain, or it will never give you any motivation to lift weights. Watch your words, lest they come true. Grab your FREE GUIDE below. Find me on my Website: https://www.lesleylmcshane.com Questions?

Women in the world need access to empowering information, with real actionable items,  all addressed in a kind way. That is what Jack Perez, founder of Kuel Life has put together for women 45+. A place of curated content from over 60 midlife women thought leaders imparting their knowledge. Jack has a passion to remind women that we are far more similar than dissimilar. She wants women to know that they aren’t alone. When she was starting out in her midlife and was being trampled by menopause, she thought I can’t be the only one going through this. So she decided to be a part of the solution by normalizing, educating, and helping others enjoy what she considers the “better” part of life.

We all want the "smoothie". We want to lose weight and gain lean muscle. We crave more energy, better sleep, and to look good in our clothes. We ache to just feel better. But we don’t want to do the things we know are needed to feel how we want. We don't want the "spinach":  to cut carbs & added sugar, to get more protein, to do cardio or resistance training, to drink more water and less alcohol. Know that you can have the smoothie - you just need to choose the right ingredients to get the smoothie you want. Grab the FREE GUIDE below.

Author Jim Afremow in “The Champions Mind – How Great Athletes Think, Train and Thrive" says that self-control is the secret of champions. I say self-control is the secret to any health and wellness success.  If you can develop the ability to hold on for the larger reward, you will be successful. If you can bypass tempting treats, such as certain foods or skipping a workout or cutting it short, then you will pass your own marshmallow test. If you resist the short cuts in your fitness and nutrition, you will have more success in the long run. Grab the FREE GUIDE below and have a GREAT WEEK!

Quitting is so easy when things aren’t going great, when something is just too hard, or isn’t going your way. To be able to say, “That’s it. I’m done. No more. Someone else’s problem.

How many times have we rushed through a workout to get to our next to-do or spent all of our workout thinking about what we have to do after? I'm guilty for sure.  But taking the time to exercise, to workout, to lift weights, to get some cardio, is YOUR TIME. It is your time to BE IN THE MOMENT and focus on yourself. Don't give that up rushing to the next thing. Put yourself and your health needs at the front of the line, enjoy what you are doing for yourself.

We are human and are obsessed with the booty, but on the other hand we end up using our own to sit for hours in the same position - at our desk, on the couch, in our car. When our glute muscles aren't activated properly, they get "sleepy" and don't function as they should. Let's talk about what the booty does for us and what we can do for it. I've got 3 ways to start TODAY to WAKE UP those butt muscles so that people can start admiring it again.  If you would like the "5 Moves For A Chair-Ready Booty", email me at [email protected] and I will send it to you.  Or grab the link to join my Redesigning Midlife private Facebook group below and it will be posted there as well.

If you let quitting win every time something gets hard, you’ll never improve, progress, or master. You’ll just stay stuck in the same place. Getting to the other side of something requires the opposite. It requires NOT QUITTING when you want to the most. Stay the course. Push through. You've got this my midlife friend!

Losing your "midlife middle" won't be easy, but it can be done. If you feel like you've done everything you can, you just have to go back and look at it again while talking through it with someone else. You may see things there you didn't before. Katie felt like she was doing everything she could to lose that 10 pounds that had crept on over a couple of years. She was frustrated because it seemed that nothing worked. But as we examined what she was eating, it became obvious what needed to change and the help she needed to help her reach he goals from her family.

This conversation with my 20-something adult daughter Cate filled my soul. It is so easy to not see how much our kids have grown up, until we sit back and really see them and listen to what they have to say.  Every relationship between a parent and their adult child is different, but I do think that Cate has some amazing advice to give parents who are letting their children head out of the nest and begin to build their own adult life.  They will be our kids forever, but parents, like life, goes in stages. Parenting children, parenting teens, parenting 20-somethings, parenting 30-somethings. It’s okay to explore and rewrite the rules for yourself. Just make sure to listen. It's time to start your new life, just like they are. And it starts with taking better care of yourself. Now through this Mother's Day I have a gift for you. If you purchase the Midlife in Motion program, you will get a FREE 30 minute 1:1 call with me where we will sit down and talk about the things that are holding you back in this new phase and what you can do to become more focused on the things you KNOW you need to be doing.

How are your periods and PMS symptoms? Do you have skin issues? If you answered yes, then you may be dealing with a heavier than usual toxic load that your body is working hard to clear. It is working so hard that it has had to put a lot of other things on the back burner. If you want your body to function better, then you need to consider doing a home detox, going low-tox in some of your cleaning and personal care items. And what better time to do that than this spring as we are all looking to clean our homes and freshen them up for the summer. Elyse is the facilitator of the Home Detox Method where she goes through each room and what you could do and what you should do to lessen the amount of toxins and chemicals being used in that room.

It is so easy to declare to others what our health goals are in hopes that telling this person will make us accountable. We give them all the power over us reaching our goals. But I say be selfish.

One thing is for certain; when opportunity shows up, it is usually not the "right time". And so we let fear speak for us as we pass it up. But what would happen if you said yes, no matter if it was the right time or not. Who knows what could lie on the other side of that "yes". Suzanne Webster and her husband Steven have lived by that motto as they have made huge life moves over the years - uprooting and moving across the country with three teens, then selling their home and moving onto a boat, and finally traveling the waters of the Pacific Northwest for months at a time. Suzanne tells us about the decisions they have made and what life is like aboard their "salty girl" Fortitude. We talk about empty nests and having kids spread out across the world and how their approach to exploring opportunities has afforded their kids to do the same. You won't want to miss this very fun episode and then go find Suzanne and Fortitude on instagram HERE. Tune into their show on em-radio.com RADIO FORTITUDE every second and fourth Sunday morning at 9am PST. Or go to their site as Zanne plans to re-up on her blog to share their adventures.

"DOMS" or Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness is the result of physical activity that stresses the muscle tissue beyond what it is accustomed to. Small microscopic tears occur in the muscle. But it is completely normal and nothing to worry about. In fact, it's needed for muscle growth, since muscle is built back stronger during the muscle repair process.

Have you tested with high A1C levels? Are you in pre-diabetes? Has the doctor told you that you need to make some changes? Are you supposed to cut carbs to get to  A1C normal range, but don't know how many carbs per day you should be getting? If you don't know where to start, what you need to be changing, or even what a normal A1C level is, today's episode is for you. My friend, nurse, and cyclist Tracy Tolson is here to sing to the choir.  Tracy is a very fit 62 year old with no family history of high A1C levels, yet a year ago got the news from her PCP - Primary Care Physician that she needed to meet with an endocrinologist and nutritionist to get her A1C levels down before she was in full-blown diabetes.  It was a wake up call and she made the necessary changes to get level down herself WITHOUT the use of medication. And she is here on the pod to tell us all how she did it and to encourage you to do the same if you are in the same boat.  If you need help making the changes that we talk about today - make sure to come find me - All of the links are below - I hope to work with you soon.

When it comes to a midlife fitness and nutrition journey, you only get out of it what you put into it. If you put in only a couple days of better food choices and a couple of days of slow walking and one day of lifting weights, then that is all of the benefit that you will get out of it.  If you are going to do it, do it. Don't half-ass. Reap all the exercise benefits. Make it worth your time and get the results you desire. Get moving friend! Find me on my Website: https://www.lesleylmcshane.com Questions?

Motivation is an elusive thing. You can have it one minute and the next minute it is gone. Kind of like knowing why you are going upstairs, but forgetting why you are there when you get there. Motivation, getting motivated, and staying motivated are things you need to be aware of. They don't just happen. You have to build your motivation like you would a fire. You need both kindling (external motivators) and logs (intrinsic motivators) to keep it burning. I hope you enjoyed this episode. I am still learning too, but I know when we all get a handle on it, motivation will be easier to come by.

Just when you think you have a handle on your limiting beliefs - or when you think the imposter syndrome is finally corralled...that's when something happens to throw you into a tailspin. It is because those things are never cured. And everyone has them. It doesn't matter who you are, what age you are, what sex or color you are, or how much money you have - we ALL deal with the same thing. I've been having one of those negative "flare-ups" and I want to talk about it and go through a refresher on the 10 ways to soothe that savage beast. No one is immune to this thing so I think it so important to get it out in the open and talk about.

If there is one thing I'e learned from my coaching clients it is that they aren't getting enough protein. More than 1 in 3 50+ men and women do not. Protein gets a bad wrap sometimes. People are afraid of bulking up or they just don't know HOW to get in more protein throughout the day.

Your Dating Anniversary. The date of your first date. The “gotcha day” of your marriage story. Do you remember when it was? More importantly, do you celebrate it? And is that even a thing? How important is it when you’ve been married over 20-25 years? Or it is just a good excuse to not cook and have dinner out? We're talking first dates that turn into F O R E V E R.....but in a good way.  Nobody knows when they have a first date that it will last, but for the ones that do, I think a celebration is in order.

It is said that what is happening in your mouth is a mirror to what is happening in your overall health. That the mouth is the mirror to the body. And that sentiment is confirmed by MY dentist Dr. Jayme Meyer.  Dr. Meyer is on today to talk to us all about what she is looking for and what we should be looking for as our mouths and everything in them age. She talks to us about what to expect, what to take special care of, and what to look for when it comes to oral cancer. Our oral care is something we don't think about a lot as we age, but we should all be very aware of how important it is to overall health. GO SEE YOUR DENTIST!

Welcome to your weekly dose of Monday Motivation to get your body moving. I read in a book recently that we are only motivated to do the things we care about. So as much as my weekly kick in the booty might help you in the moment, you really need to dig underneath and figure out the REASON/S why your care. Because without that you will not be successful. You need to use all the tools in your arsenal to keep going, but always start with this one. Find me on my Website: https://www.lesleylmcshane.com Questions?

"So what do you consider midlife?". I exaggerate, but probably have been asked that question a million times. Honestly, for me, I've never considered midlife a bad or horrible stage of life, but for many others they cringe when they hear the word. Especially when it used to describe them. So let's examine. What is midlife anyway? Hint: It's not a MIDLIFE CRISIS. Make sure to check out the Friday Night BeerBlog 95 HERE! Find me on my Website: https://www.lesleylmcshane.com Questions?

Leslie Lindsey Davis lost 100 pounds. And she did it by putting a stake in the ground and deciding to become healthy in three ways: Physically, Emotionally, and Mentally. In today's episode she shares ways for all of us to fuel our journey to lose weight by filling the the self-sized hole that we may have in our lives. Takeaways: 1.  A lot of times when we are starting a journey to discover or better ourselves, we find that there is a self-sized hole in our hearts that we are desperate to fill with food or some other vice. 2. It’s usually pretty apparent to yourself when you are unhealthy, but you may not be sure about how to go about getting healthy - mentally, physically and emotionally. You just have to start small in each of these areas.  3. Put your stake in the ground - know that you NEED to change and then control what you can control.  4. The brain likes hits of endorphins, good or bad, so pay yourself with good words and behaviors. Be aware of what you are saying to yourself and make it good, instead of bad.  5. There aren’t any bad choices. There are not so good choices, good choices, and great choices.  6. There are no CHEAT days or CHEAT meals. Think about the words you are saying because they have deep meaning on how we think. You can only cheat on taxes, test, and on your spouse. Everything else is a choice.  7. Little lies we tell ourselves: If you eat a broken cookie there are no calories. If you eat off someone else's plate it doesn’t count. The thing you realize is that the only person you are lying to is yourself. The outside world can see the evidence of you lie. 8. When you begin the journey of finding yourself pack your bag with things that will help you. Create a relationship with yourself though journaling because when you can see the words on paper and can reread them, you can do something with it.  9. When you having a bad day and want to sabotage your journey, stop and ask yourself what is really going on.  10. Take progress photos of yourself on the journey - because our brains are trained to keep a picture of us and what we looked like at the beginning. Throughout these progress photos, not only will you see progress in your health, but in your mental and emotional lightness as well.   11. Get rid of clothes that don’t fit anymore. Don’t hang onto them because they mentally give you permission to go backward. Those clothes are reminder of who you used to be. They don’t serve you anymore.  12. A journey is a ME thing, not a WE thing. But you need a team. Find me on my Website: https://www.lesleylmcshane.com Questions?

When we were young we just gravitated toward our personal style. But through the years as we focus much of our time and money on others, our personal style gets put on the back burner. Sometimes we may even lose our own sense of self. In midlife we re-emerge looking to rediscover the style that we once had, but don't know how to adapt it to our new midlife bodies. Wardrobe Stylist Jennifer Mackey Mary is with me today to talk about all the reasons that drastic makeovers don't work. What we need to do is have an understanding of a who we are, find the words describe how we want to look, knowledge of how to dress our shape, and get to a place where we are happy with everything in our closet. All of these are keys to raising our energy levels and your vibration to new opportunities. Personal Style is a skill and it is okay if you are having trouble rediscovering yours.

My podcast guest last week, Nicky Clarke (Episode 135) ended our conversation stating that none of us gets a do-over in life. That we have to make the most of the days we have in order to be happy at the end. And this applies to your health as well. Where do you see yourself in 10 or 20 years. What are you doing? What are you enjoying? Are you traveling or playing with your grandkids? Now look at your health today. With how you are treating your health and wellness today, will you be able to reach those pictures you have of yourself in 10-20 years. If not, it's time to get moving. You need a plan.

What is the whole deal behind vision boards and bucket lists? Do these things ever happen? How do we even begin to make these things come true? Bucket lists are great for someday, but they aren't making these things happen. What you need is a GOALS or ACTION list of things you want to work to make happen. Bottom line. Drink up while I am over here recovering from COVID...again.  Make it happen people! Sending LOVE!

I'm more of an advocate of overall lifestyle choices and decisions, which has that wonderful byproduct of weight loss and body composition redistribution, but I hear all the time , "I just want to know what I need to do to lose some of this midlife middle".   I heard you and today I have the #1 thing you need to do to lose weight, following by the #2 thing and then I threw in the #3 thing for good measure. It's a good plan. It's not easy, but it works. There you are. You have it. No go do it. Find me on my Website: https://www.lesleylmcshane.com Questions?

Surviving winter is what all of us are doing come February. It starts out all fine when we break out all the puffy in September. It's cute and cozy and a nice change from all of our summer gear.  But by February, we are done with the puffy, the sweaters, the cold weather, and the gray days that go with it. March, April, and May seem so far away. I would say that we have definitely entered winter survival mode.  If you are struggling with old man winter and the winter blues that he brings, I've got 5 easy tips on how to lighten your mood and hopefully make the days more bearable till we get to greener and WARMER pastures.

Coach Nicky Clarke from Chapter 2 Unleashed is here today to talk about how our roles change in midlife and the adaption process. We change. Our relationships change. And so our titles may not change, but our roles within those titles MUST change.  Midlife, or the Second Chapter, is such an amazing time that we can rewrite for ourselves. We have the freedom to explore what lights us up and to bring that forward and into our lives moving forward. No need for limiting beliefs or imposter syndrome, because we are rewriting our story the way we want it told.  Boundaries must be set. Guild must be let go. Bucket lists need to be created. And living must be done because we don't get a do-over. This is it friends.

One of the symptoms of life in perimenopause and menopause that doesn't get talked about is fatigue, feeling tired, and brain fog. But this tired feeling need attention because it can either be dealt with naturally with some small lifestyle changes OR it's a sign of a greater underlying health issue. Today board certified Functional Health Coach, Licensed Ecclesiastical Holistic Practitioner, and host of the Treasured Wellness podcast, Michelle McCoy is here to talk to us about this feeling of fatigue and brain fog and about all of the ways that we can boost our energy naturally to help us feel better during the day or to help us sleep at night. Both very important things as we age.

Through the years we wear the badge of putting ourselves and our needs last proudly. We martyr ourselves because if we don’t, we are shamed into believing that if we aren’t putting others first all the time, then we aren’t a good (fill in the blank) wife, mother, daughter, friend, employee, and on and on. Breaking the pattern of martyrdom and beginning to believe that you and what you need are just as important as everyone else’s needs doesn’t happen overnight, but it all starts with belief in the statement, “I deserve it”. Just as much as everyone else does, if not more. I hope you enjoy this week's FNBB - INVEST IN YOURSELF! Find me on my Website: https://www.lesleylmcshane.com Questions?

I started working with Katie Key at the end of November and she is a rockstar. I could tell that Katie was serious about wanting to make a change and begin to gain control of her life through a needed health journey. And boy, did she!    Katie not only lost weight, but a lot of inches even during the holiday season. We worked through eating healthy, protein, and communication with family and getting their support. And we discussed the importance of not only cardio exercise, but strength training to redistribute your body weight.    Her confidence has soared because she knows she did it herself without relying on crazy diets or pills. It was all her and her good choices.  She encourages everyone to invest in yourself because you deserve it and SO DO I!    Let's work together in the Midlife in Motion program! I would be honored!

My first key to success has always been "Consistency is Key". But if I were to have another it would be that in order to know where you are going, you have to know where you are starting. And in order to do that we need to be AWARE. To have AWARENESS of everything around us. Once we are able to become aware of where our time is spent, what we are eating, what we aren't doing in order to be healthier, then it is much easier to develop a good plan with actionable and achievable goals. And that is what Jennifer has able to do since our Midlife in Motion Kickstarter Call back in October. And she has gained so much clarity on her direction and what she wants as she continues to reach for even bigger goals.

HAPPY 50TH BIRTHDAY if you are turning this magical age in 2023! I don't care if you dread it, haven't planned for it, or are excited for this next chapter - it is coming no matter what you say or feel. So you need to be ready. My friend Rachel Fagerberg, who herself is turning fifty, is with me today to contemplate that number, that age, how she is preparing, and what turning 50 means to her.  There is something about turning fifty that makes us all reflective and with a tendency to do some of our own personal development. I did that. And Rachel is doing that.  A few of the insights from this conversation: 1.     Turning 50 is a moment for pause to reflect and look back at all of the phases of your life, those different journeys and to  realize that not having your life together 100% is pretty normal. 2.     Fifty is definitely a time of personal growth. It’s the time you finally learn to set boundaries with intent so in order to be the best version of you without any regrets 3.     Fifty is a time of mindset change and shifting priorities. For Rachel, she is I making herself a priority and realizing that she not going to please everyone, so she is giving herself permission to stop trying. This is also to time to really start to evaluate your overall health. We all want to be here long after we turn 50, so we talk about the health coaching that she and I did, what she learned, what she implemented, and the results that she has seen. Make sure to FOLLOW this show if you don't already, and RATE AND REVIEW or SHARE it with a friend that also may be turning 50 this year.  And if you are wanting to focus on your health moving into your 5th decade, make sure to check out the Midlife in Motion program .

I hate to keep harping on resolutions and health resolutions in general, but I've been where you are. I'm made so many declarations at midnight on the 31st, only to give up  by now.  I was going to: ·       Workout or Exercise More ·       Eat less and focus on better nutrition ·       Drink less alcohol ·       Drink more water ·       Get more sleep To be so fired up in the beginning and doing all the needed preparation to keep those promises to yourself. But maybe you are like every other normal person and are struggling right about now. What did you miss? Well I think you missed this very important item. Clarity. I know that when I've failed at similar things that I have forgotten to do this very important thing. The truth is, how do you know where you are going if you don't know where you are starting? Thank you for listening today and don't forget to SHARE this episode with a friend so that they can do this thing too in order to be successful this New Year.

There are a lot of things we try to train ourselves to do at the beginning of a new year. We write out lists of resolutions about them. I am going to quit drinking. I am going to get more sleep. I am going to call my mom more. I am going to practice more self-care.  Unfortunately, these things are not as easy as training yourself to write or type the new year. Resolutions are quick fixes, quick answers to “what is this next year going to look like?” And like most quick fixes, they usually don’t hold. What you need is to set a goal. Whether that is for your career, your love life, or your health.  Setting goals isn’t an either-or or all or nothing. OK - I'm beating this resolution thing to within an inch of it's life. But now is the time to recognize that resolutions suck. Sorry, not sorry. Anyway, soon we'll only be talking about goals. That is a good thing. I'm also going to be beating a dead horse about my 30-day Midlife In Motion program - I gotta let people know about it cause it's awesome. So if you get tired of hearing about it, just get on the waitlist and then skip through that section of the podcast. I won't be offended.

We all have the best of intentions, especially at the start of a new year. We are going to do better or turn things around. We resolution ourselves without setting ourselves up with a plan to achieve the success.

Performance and Mindset Coach Leah Jantzen has heard all of the midlife excuses - I can’t. I don’t have time. It costs too much. I don’t know how. I’m too old. And on and on.  She says it's time to put yourself on the hook for a change. Of course you can, change your priorities. Choosing good health doesn't cost anything. Everyone has time. And what is too old? There is no such thing. Leah knows that if she can do the things she has done, then so can you. And she has done some amazing things this year. She'll tell us all about those things and how she was successful before delving into how we can do the same things at whatever level we would like to be successful. It's all about mindset, having a desire, making the choice, and then being committed to it. Better health is a needed investment in yourself. And what do we call investment in yourself - GOOD SELF-CARE! And that is something we all need. I am so honored to have Leah back on the podcast this year. She was on last January to talk to us about getting back on track with resolutions, which you should check out. If you would like to find Leah, make sure to follow her on instagram: https://www.instagram.com/leahjantzen/ You can find her at her website: https://www.leahjantzen.com/ Or you can email her at: [email protected] If you would like get on the waitlist for my Midlife in Motion 30-day program, https://lesleylmcshane.com/course-waitlist Till next time Over 50 friends - Stay active and be good to each other!

What are you waiting for? Why not start TODAY instead of January 1st?

Are you feeling pressure to make this Christmas PERFECT for everyone else? Do you struggle with perfectionism on the whole?  Striving for perfection can be a terrible thing. It can make you highly critical of yourself and everyone around you. It forces you to have unrealistic standards, causes you to focus only on results and feeling depressed when those results don’t materialize.  What is wrong with just doing your best and finding satisfaction in all of the things? Satisfaction leads to happiness. It gives you a sense of achievement. It makes you feel that life is good. Being satisfied is being content. And when you’ve done your best it simply means that all things considered, there are sufficient benefits and that you are driving continued improvement.  My thought is that you need to enjoy life. Enjoy the ride. Enjoy the little things. Enjoy the wins. And don’t let some fake sense of perfection steal it all away from you. We hope that you ALL have a very Merry Christmas and are setting up your 2023 to be the best ever! Find me on my Website: https://www.lesleylmcshane.com Questions?

As we age we become much more aware of regrets of our past and fear regrets that we may have in the future. While we can't fix the regrets of our past, except with the understanding that we were making the best decisions we could in the moment with the information we had, we can definitely focus on the things we may have regrets about later in life. In order to combat these regrets, I've got three things you can start to do NOW to ease those regrets of the future. Start today and be aware of these things. Be present, Be curious, and take care of your health. Your 70, 80, 90 year old self with thank you and thank me for making you aware. Cheers friends.

I've got your short Monday Morning Workout Motivation - you'll never feel crappy if you get a workout in, whether it is a good one or a bad one - but you'll always feel crappy when you don't get anything in.

According to AARP, Americans age 50 and up contribute so much to the U.S. economy that they’d constitute the world’s third-largest economy if they were counted as their own country. This comes as no surprise to Donna Korren, former magazine executive, Ted X speaker, writer, and brand collaborator. Donna is with me to talk about how we as an "Over 50" demographic hold all of the cards when it comes to purchasing power, but may not realize it. We are all too worried about how to navigate this next chapter. She encourages us to embrace our empty nests and become an emptyquester, someone who decides to get on with getting on and do the work to find out who they are NOW and start working toward something new. And what better way to do that than in community with other like-minded women. And with our numbers, comes great power - she reports that the 50+ demographic is responsible for 56 cents of every dollar spent - 40% of gross domestic product. And brands are taking notice. Gone are the days of being told who we are by advertising and the media, it is time to self-represent and tell them who we are instead. Donna is a wonderful facilitator working with women to figure out their next chapter and you can find her and her "What's Next Workshop" at her website: https://emptyquester.com/ Follow Donna on instagram: https://www.instagram.com/emptyquester/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/emptyquester Email her at [email protected] Proage Magazine: https://theproagewoman.com/ If you are ready to get from point A to point B in your health journey, you need to email me to help get your started.

Every single woman that I have coached and am coaching knows that I am going to mention resistance training and they know they should be doing it, but just don't - for no particular reason. But this type of strength training is so crucial to us as we age and I am going through five benefits you will get if you add it to your workout plan. Let's just say that you can slow down and even reverse sarcopenia - muscle loss, you can build bone and avoid Osteoporosis, it will help your flexibility, balance, and coordination, helps prevent chronic diseases such as diabetes and heart disease, and helps your general overall health. I encourage you to start your 2023 by adding resistance training, lifting weights, and strength training into your overall workout plan. You don't have to love it or even like it when you start, but when you begin to gain strength, you'll want to keep going. If you would like to work with me to add some resistance training into your plan, email me at [email protected] and we can see if it would be a good fit for you.

How is your self-talk? Do you look in the mirror and wonder where that 25 year old went? Do you only see your gray hair, wrinkles, and extra weight? Let me break it to you gently, you will never be 25 again. That ship has sailed. What you DO need to be focusing on is not Anti-Aging, but Aging Well. And part of aging well is doing the things you know will keep you in top shape mentally and physically.  A consistent exercise routine is one of those. And being consistent means making that CHOICE every day to put your health first. Making that choice once is easy, but making it day after day is hard. But you can do it because you absolutely deserve to feel your very best every day as you age.

A big welcome back to the podcast to Dr. Kelly Casperson. Kelly is a urologist with advanced training in pelvic medicine and surgery, but most important for us, she is working hard to normalize how we talk about and approach sex, because let’s face it, a lot of us were left in the dark on the subject as we grew up. She has authored a book with the same title as her podcast "You Are Not Broken" to bring awareness to some real basic and fundamental facts that we may not know about sex itself, sexual desire, menopause and hormone replacement therapy, and life around our sex lives in general. She calls it her advocacy work. A few takeaways from today's conversation: Two things all women 50+ should know about their bodies that they may not know:  1. The clitoris is where your orgasm comes from. Not the Penis in Vagina or PIV. The clitoris is the target. 2. Everything in your life affects your sex life. Your sex life is not in a bubble. The way you live your life affects your sex life. If you are sleeping poorly, if your health is bad, if your thoughts are negative, If your relationship isn’t doing well, if you think the dishes in the sink getting done is more important than sex – all these things will affect your sex life. Other Takeaways: 3. It’s important to ask yourself – who do you want to be when you are 74? You need to prioritize sleep and exercise and eating right because if you want to keep feeling great long into the future you’ve got to do the things that 74 year old will be grateful for the 50 year old put into thought and into action.   4. A woman’s desire doesn’t necessarily come before sex. It may come before, it may come during and it may not happen until after. Wow that was great. I forgot how great it is, can you remind me how great that is?  5. Menopause is normal if you are blessed enough to live that long – it’s going to happen. And it’s important to communicate with your partner about what you learn about menopause and explain what you are going through. Otherwise they are just guessing themselves. And that never goes well. Make sure to listen to Kelly on her podcast "You Are Not Broken" and find her book at Amazon: https://a.co/d/1kGQvGC It is also available on Audible.

Last year my friend Lindsay de Swart and I sat down for a Fireside Chat episode where we took a look forward into where we might be in a year. Lindsay never would have realistically guessed what her year might look like. She took a deep dive into  her life, her marriage, and everything that was affected by those and turned her world upside down. When her family's future was at a fork in the road, she chose to take the road less traveled, but the one she knew she HAD to take.  She knew she needed to face her fear and set new boundaries while utilizing self-care to get her through it. I know that we will all be touched in some way by her story. Facing fear. Having to put ourselves first sometimes. Having to upset the apple cart of others and the guilt over that. Knowing and accepting that change needs to happen. Admitting that things aren't perfect and owning that.  Beating back all the judgement and guilt  from herself and others and then and relying outside help to get her through when she couldnl't do it herself. I think when we face all of these things, we find out who we truly are and what we are truly capable of. My friend Lindsay is one of the strongest women that I know. I guarantee all of you are the second strongest women that I know. As  Glennon Doyle says, We Can Do Hard Things, especially when we know that we will be lost if we don’t. If you find also find yourself in a place where big change needs to happen before you are lost, know that change and making big pivots takes time and sacrifice. But it’s important to make that investment. I may not know you personally, but I know you. You are worth it and you deserve it.  Thanks for listening today.

Goal Setting can be extremely overwhelming if you don't have the right techniques in place to help you create a good plan. It all starts with your foundational beliefs and if you don't know what those are, then you will struggle to reach any goal. Cheryl Hart is back on the podcast today to talk to us about some Goal Setting Techniques to make sure that we start goal setting in a successful way so that we have all reasons to believe that we will reach those goals. We'll talk about: 1. First, Take time for introspection. It is foundational to goal-setting. Sit and be quiet and write out your top 5 values and priorities in life and why.  2.  Ask yourself these Foundational questions:  Who has influenced me the most in my life? How would I like to be remembered?  Who are the people in my life that I admire the most and what qualities do they have?  When I’m at my best what - fill in the blank? 3. Write a mission statement for your life. Set how you want to be remembered and work back from there in making decisions. Do your goals align with what you think your values are? 4.  If the WHY of your goal is big enough then your purpose will be fulfilled. Vague goals produce Vague results. 5. The number one way to boost your confidence is to recall our past success.  And if you are constantly comparing yourself to others and nothing is ever good enough, then we have nothing to draw from. Don’t let your ego of comparison get in the way. 6. Set goals by using the SMARTS system: Make your goals - Specific - Measurable - Action-oriented  - Realistic - Timely - Self-determined 7. Set an A goal (End), B goal (Halfway point), C goal (Short Term goals), Daily intentions and incremental steps to help you get to each point. 8. Remember that EVERYONE, even people who seem to always reach their goals has failed, experienced downtimes and dips, but they get back up. You have to practice being resilient. 9.  Reaching a goal is a personal journey. Your goal is just that. YOUR goal. 10.  At the beginning write down 5 obstacles that you may come up against and then a corresponding strategy to offset that obstacle 11. Find accountability partners - someone or someones who can help you overcome your obstacles. A network of supporters. And then let them know what they can do to best support you. 12. Have a new goal on the back burner so that when you have accomplished a goal you don’t have “let down”, you move onto the next thing. But be sure to pause and reflect. And celebrate how far you’ve come. Thank you so much for listening today. Be sure to FOLLOW or SUBSCRIBE. And if you would, please RATE or REVIEW - it means so much.

BLACK FRIDAY and CYBER MONDAY are HERE! It's a weekend to crack open the start of gift buying. Now, if you are like me, the first gift I buy is for me. It's a special kind of self-care. And I've got a great thing for you this weekend - whether it is for you or for someone else. My 2022 creation of the You Deserve It Notebook: Goal Tracker, Planner, and Journal is available at Amazon for under $20. Amazon is still getting their cut (of course), but I am foregoing most of any profit to make sure this notebook gets into your hands. I am convinced that it will really help keep you on track for any goals and intentions that you have for 2023. It is a great way to begin to build consistency of self-care. My friend Heather McMahon, host of the Creating You podcast had me on her show a few weeks ago and gave me the opportunity to talk about the notebook, about its creation, and about how it can help you plan out your exciting next chapter. And then she shared the episode with me so that I could share it with you. That's what friends are for. Many Thanks to Heather for having me. Happy Shopping!

There is nothing worse than building a healthy workout habit and starting to see results when travel happens or the holidays come. We worry about not having the opportunity to get our workouts in or about what will happen if we take a couple of days off.  First of all - you totally have permission to take a couple of days away from your workout routine to spend time with family. Your fitness will not suffer. But if you will be away for longer and or just want some ideas to get some movement in while traveling, I've got them for you today. It may take a little research, planning, and preparation on your part, but it is totally doable and could even be different and fun, especially if you can get the whole family involved. I am wishing you a Happy Thanksgiving. Make sure to keep this episode close if you are also traveling over Christmas and New Year.  And I definitely hope that you would like to grab one of the Midlife Health KickStarter Calls.  This is a 1:1 zoom call with me where we talk about where you are in your nutrition and fitness and what 30 day health goal you would like to set and accomplish. We’ll develop a plan for you to get you on the path to reaching that goal. And you’ll start 2023 already in motion instead of just trying to get started.

Author Nicole Kalil, bringing her new book “Validation is for Parking - How Women Can Beat The Confidence Con” is with me today for the very important discussion about confidence - and how the confidence that we portray outwardly doesn't necessarily match up to how we feel inside. Nicole's story is a cautionary tale and one that a lot of us have experienced and faced. We appear and "act" very confident on the outside, but inside we are hiding and afraid of being "found out". We may even be in such a dark place because of our lack of authenticity that we don't know how we will ever escape. The beauty of it is that Nicole is here to help with all the ways we can shed that fear and begin to build confidence where it is most important - INSIDE of us. She is spilling the whys, whats, and the hows of confidence, our lack of it, and how we build it. It's important to remember that confidence and trust in ourselves is a continual journey. Not a final place to arrive. Make sure to find Nicole at all of the following to join her on a confidence journey.
