The Biggest Mistake I Made in My Fitness Journey (and how you can avoid it)
|
Hey Reader! When I look back at my fitness journey, there’s one thing I see often in women over 40 that I’m grateful I figured out early. The belief that we have to constantly push harder, diet stricter, or “go extreme” to get results. In my 20s and early 30s, I loved training hard—classic strength training, heavy lifts, pushups, squats, deadlifts—you name it. I never went down the path of trendy extremes like CrossFit (though no shade to those who love it!), but I trained consistently and smart. What I did get caught up in was extreme dieting. That was my trap. Someone told me once, there was no way I would ever build the muscle I wanted eating as little as I was eating. Of course Nicole in her 20s was like, "What do you know, I'll just eat more once I get my weight down to nothing."🤯😬 I even invented what I called my bubble gum diet. Long before I becam a nutritionist. I was a chef at the time running my own wedding catering business, so yes surrounded by food, I decided if I chew gum every time I am hungry or near food I won't eat. Not smart for a breastfeeding mom or ANYONE for that matter! And can you believe there was a time I didn't eat carbs—I mean, no pasta? Who was I? lol I learned—thankfully in my late 20s—that restrictive eating wasn’t just unsustainable, it was working against me. What I really needed was fuel, not fewer calories. Over time, I let go of extremes and embraced balance: strength training I enjoy, and a way of eating that nourishes my body and fits my real life. That’s what I help women do now through the Goddess Jump Start program. It’s not about going hard or cutting more—it’s about building a plan that works with your body, your lifestyle, and your goals. You can feel strong, energized, and confident—without the extremes. Feel free to reply or share with someone you know.

Hey Reader! If you’ve been struggling to stay consistent with your health or fitness goals, it’s easy to think the problem is you. But what if it’s not you at all? What if it’s your system? Here’s the truth: motivation fades. Routines get interrupted. Life happens. That’s why you need a simple system to fall back on—one that doesn’t depend on willpower or perfection. In Goddess Jump Start, I help you build just that: ✔ Workouts that match your energy and time ✔ Tools to make healthy eating...
Hey Reader! Sometimes we think change has to be big to be effective. But over and over again, I’ve seen one small shift create a ripple effect that transforms everything. For one of my clients, it was committing to 10-minute workouts 3x a week. Another started with protein at breakfast instead of just coffee. And another wanted to focus on consistently completing one of her three scheduled strength workouts every week until she was ready to add more. Whatever it is that leads to consistency...
Hey Reader! Ever feel like staying healthy is a full-time job? Between trying to eat “perfect,” do the right workouts, track everything, and still manage real life—it’s easy to feel overwhelmed, frustrated, or just plain stuck. Here’s the truth: health doesn’t have to be so hard. The most powerful results often come from small, consistent shifts—not drastic overhauls. It could be: Adding 10 minutes of movement to your morning Drinking an extra glass of water before your coffee Replacing one...
