 Ever feel like taking care of yourself goes to the bottom of your list? Your workouts happen if there's time (after kids, grandkids, parents, work, volunteer, and other hobbies). Or maybe you squeeze in your workouts and always have healthy meals prepped, but you never give yourself time to do something just for fun.   If you ONLY needed to focus on you, it would be pretty easy.  But you are human, and you have other priorities in life.  Join me in this episode for an important mi...

Hello friends! Today's podcast was inspired by a listener question "how can I stay consistent in a crisis?"

249: Give Yourself Permission to Experience How Good It Can Get

August 16, 2021 12:00 - 13 minutes - 21.9 MB

Greetings friend! Today's podcast is inspired by an email I received from an amazing member of my Fit + Vibrant Over 50 Coaching Program. It made me think... how many women have not given themselves permission to experience how good it can get? So many woman have a lot to be grateful for- a wonderful family, fulfilling career, and they don't fully give themselves permission to have it all.

247: Carbs, Vibrant Energy + Fat Loss

August 02, 2021 12:00 - 23 minutes - 36.1 MB

If you’ve ever tried to improve your health and eating, you’ve probably heard that carbs are bad for you 😬 Let’s clarify a few things: First, carbs are essential for good health.  Second, this black and white type of thinking is why so many of us struggle with nutrition in the first place. While carbs are an essential part of our diet, when they are consumed in excess, you have the potential to overflow your gas tank which can lead to high blood sugar, weight gain, fatigue and many o...

246: Stress + Anxiety Around Food

July 26, 2021 12:00 - 24 minutes - 38.1 MB

Greetings friend! How do you feel about things opening up after over a year or so in lockdown. Are you excited? Are you nervous that the parties and gatherings will derail you from your healthy habits?  I've had many questions in the past weeks from listeners and clients about overcoming the stress and anxiety around food when things open up.  One listener wrote "I found that covid restrictions (less socializing, no restaurants, extra free time to exercise) worked for me. Now that ...

245: Message to All Carbaholics, Sugar Addicts and Emotional Eaters

July 19, 2021 12:00 - 30 minutes - 45.9 MB

Do you feel out of control around carbs? Once you taste sugar you can't stop? Ever find yourself going to the pantry when you’re stressed, bored, lonely, sad, worried, anxious, or even happy? If so, you’re not alone. It’s frustrating, and the answer is not found in a diet plan, or with the well-intended advice to have a cup of tea instead.  “O…. I just have tea instead of cold leftover pizza and Oreo cookies… I never knew!” said no one ever. If you feel out of control around carbs, th...

243: Simple Is Not Easy

July 05, 2021 12:00 - 15 minutes - 25.1 MB

Changing your health and fitness is simple. That doesn’t mean it’s easy.  The tactics for getting healthier and fitter are simple, in that they're easily understood. You know you need to move your body and eat more vegetables and stop overeating. But just because these strategies are simple to understand and execute, it doesn't mean that they are easy. But don’t let that stop you. Don’t let ‘easier said than done’ be your cop out (because, technically, isn’t everything easier said than...

242: How to Keep the Momentum Going

June 28, 2021 12:00 - 37 minutes - 51.9 MB

If I had a dime every time someone asked me 'how do I keep the momentum going?', I might not be rich... but I'd at least be able to buy a new pair of runners (and have you seen the price of runners these days!?) If you're great at starting, but not so great at keeping it going, welcome to being human. Diet plans tell you what to eat, or how much to eat, or when to eat. That's it. ❌ Diet's don't teach you how to stay motivated so that you keep going, even on days you don't feel like it...

239: How to Get Motivated to Workout

June 07, 2021 12:00 - 26 minutes - 40.1 MB

I like exercise. Let me rephrase that: I like the benefits of exercise. I enjoy feeling strong and energized. I like the way my body looks when I workout regularly. I like knowing I can go for a hike, try out a new sport or embark on any type of physical activity and be confident that I am likely fit enough to do it. Despite all the benefits of exercise, there are days when I simply don’t feel like working out. I’m not sick; I just don’t feel like it. I would dare to bet that I am not alon...

BONUS: "I Learned How to Love Myself Again"

June 03, 2021 19:00 - 24 minutes - 37.2 MB

"I always felt less because I weighed more" At 17, Denise started her first diet. And for her entire adult life, she repeatedly lost and gained the same 30-40 pounds. After each failed attempt, she went back to diets, because she didn't know what else to do. After gaining weight again, Denise was very uncomfortable and unhappy. She also knew she had to do something. She was so tired of diets. And that's when she found Fit + Vibrant Over 50. "It's a bit scary there's a commitment and ...

May 31, 2021 12:00 - 23 minutes - 36.6 MB

In your head you know you shouldn't believe everything you think. You know that those thoughts are just thoughts... but they just keep coming! And they are loud.

Bonus: Overcoming the Diet Cycle with Leslie Dueck

May 20, 2021 19:00 - 25 minutes - 38.6 MB

"Why have I taken 50 years to feel good about myself?" -Leslie Dueck Leslie didn't identify as someone who had done many diets. But although she didn't prescribe to the fad diets and plans out there, she had spent her entire adult life in the on-again-off-again cycle. She was stuck in the cycle of doing really good for a while, then falling off track and feeling bad about herself. Feeling guilty, shameful. In her first 6 month of Fit + Vibrant Over 50, Leslie lost 25 pounds. But to her...

235: Overcoming Barriers to Change

May 10, 2021 12:00 - 25 minutes - 38.3 MB

The quickest, easiest and most permanent way to create change is not to do more. The quickest, easiest and most permanent way to create change is to remove the barriers and limitations that hold you back. That statement might make logical sense, but it may seem like an insurmountable task. Where do you start? How do you even identify what is in the way? What if there are past traumas that created these barriers in the first place? What if the barriers and limitations are so ingrained that...

234: What to Do If You've Gained Weight

May 03, 2021 12:00 - 17 minutes - 24.6 MB

You've made some improvements to your diet, you're moving your body more, and overall taking better care of yourself than you were before.  And then, you step on the scale and realize you've GAINED WEIGHT! Maybe it's happened during your regular weigh in, or maybe it's after you haven't focused quite as much on your health. Do not let gaining weight be the reason you give up. Or punish yourself by going on some intense, restrictive diet.    Friend, do I have permission to coac...

232: Thriving Through Menopause with Dr. Michelle Gordon

April 19, 2021 19:00 - 59 minutes - 85.1 MB

Menopause is a journey—one for which many of us arrive unprepared and surprised.  And for many, it's not a pleasant journey, rife with undesirable changes such as weight gain, mood swings, and sleepless nights.   But what if suffering through menopause was optional? What if you could feel GOOD during menopause?   Dr. Michelle Gordon (better known as Dr. G) believes that you can.   Dr. G is the founder of The Menopause Movement - a community of women who have transcended the mi...

231: Stop Stress Eating

April 12, 2021 12:00 - 32 minutes - 45.1 MB

Ever find yourself standing in the pantry or mindlessly eating leftover cold pizza, or peanut butter straight from the tub when you're stressed? If so, you’re not alone. It’s frustrating, and the answer is not found in a diet plan, or with the well-intended advice to have a cup of tea instead.  “O…. I just have tea instead of cold leftover pizza and Oreo cookies… I never knew!” said no one ever. Join me for some real talk about STRESS EATING. Why we do it, and most importantly, what t...

April 05, 2021 12:00 - 28 minutes - 42.6 MB

Why can’t I get motivated? Why do I feel so anxious? Why can’t I be consistent? Why do I keep snacking at night even though I KNOW better? We're told that challenges are part of the journey.

229: Am I Hungry?

March 29, 2021 12:00 - 27 minutes - 41.6 MB

Eat when you're hungry, stop when you're satiated. Sounds simple enough, but simple isn't always easy, especially if you have a history of dieting and disordered eating patterns.  For many women, after outsourcing their food choices to meal plans and diets, listening to the body's signals can be challenging. Sure, it's easy to identify when you're ravenous, and stuffed, but what about the less extreme feelings of hunger and satiety? And on this week's podcast, we're talking all abo...

228: Stay Motivated + Consistent with PULL Goals

March 22, 2021 12:00 - 28 minutes - 43.3 MB

We're going back to the archives and releasing a past podcast episode on a very important topic: how to set inspiring goals. You've probably heard that setting goals is important... but chances are, you're not creating goals that inspire consistent action. We are either motivated to move way from something we don't want (a push goals) or toward something we do want (a pull goal). Both types of goals have their utility, but for long-term success, whether it's in weight loss, your hea...

March 15, 2021 12:00 - 28 minutes - 42.4 MB

Bronnie Ware, an Australian nurse who spent several years caring for patients during the last 12 weeks of their lives,  says the #1 regret of the dying is "I wish I'd had the courage to live a life true to myself, not the life others expected of me." She adds "When people realise that their life is almost over and look back clearly on it, it is easy to see how many dreams have gone unfulfilled. Most people had not honoured even a half of their dreams and had to die knowing that it was due...

We hear all the time that diets don't work; if you're listening to this podcast, you might have experienced that first hand.

225: How to STOP Nighttime Eating

March 01, 2021 13:00 - 30 minutes - 45.1 MB

I eat well throughout the day.  But at night time, my cravings go wild and my evening turns into a feeding frenzy.  I’m not hungry, but I just can’t seem to stop night time eating.  What can I do?  I just know that if I’d stop nighttime eating I’d lose weight. Sound familiar? I’ve heard some version of the above statement many, many times. And it’s time I tackle this topic on a podcast.

224: Simple Strategies to Eat Healthier without Thinking About It

February 22, 2021 13:00 - 23 minutes - 35.6 MB

“It can be tempting to blame failure on a lack of willpower or a scarcity of talent, and to attribute success to hard work, effort, and grit. To be sure, those things matter. What is interesting, however, is that if you examine how human behavior has been shaped over time, you discover that motivation (and even talent) is often overvalued. In many cases, the environment matters more.” -James Clear, Author of Atomic Habits When it comes to making healthier eating choices, a few simple cha...

223: Make Weight Loss EASIER with These Questions

February 15, 2021 13:00 - 16 minutes - 26.8 MB

Ever find yourself standing in the pantry, pondering the options for a midday snack when you're bored? Do you negotiate the wine on a Tuesday night, even though you committed you would reserve the pinot for weekends only? Do you justify the chocolate after dinner by vowing you'll 'eat clean' tomorrow? So much of the struggle of sticking to healthier eating habits, or losing weight, is simply due to arguing with yourself.  "I want this". "I shouldn't have this". "Just this one time ...

222: How to Stop Being So Mean to Yourself

February 08, 2021 13:00 - 26 minutes - 36.9 MB

We THINK that body + self appreciation (acceptance/ respect/ love- you can choose which word resonates most with you) happens once we get in shape, lose the weight or are 'successful'. It doesn't.  At best you'll have conditional love for yourself, which can turn to self-loathing with a few cookies. More likely, you'll keep your inner mean girl, just with a smaller body.  Loving yourself, respecting yourself doesn't magically happen AFTER you lose the weight. Learning to love and a...

This week I'm doing something a bit different. I am drawing back the curtains on what I'm doing, what I'm working on, and what's working.

219: How to Make Quick + Delicious + Fat Burning Meals

January 18, 2021 13:00 - 19 minutes - 27 MB

Sometimes I don't want to share how I eat because I don't think there's anything to share. I don't have any fancy recipes. My meals are certainly not 'Instagram worthy' (though I do often post to my stories @tanja_shaw). BUT... they work. They are simple to make. They don't take a lot of time. They keep me fueled for a long time. They are delicious, AND they support the goal of a fit, healthy body. If you want to feel good in your body but don't want to spend hours in the kitchen, thi...

218: How to Be Consistent

January 11, 2021 13:00 - 27 minutes - 37.5 MB

“I’m really good for a while… then I fall off track.” “I eat really well, then I find myself snacking on the brownies in the staff room.” “I start each day with good intentions but end up eating the leftover pizza and kids’ crusts when I get home from work.” HOW DO I START BEING CONSISTENT? Most women I work with already had enough basic nutrition knowledge. They knew that they should exercise.... they just weren't doing it. They had tried EVERYTHING to lose weight, except consistency...

217: How to Handle "FOMO" (Fear of Missing Out)

January 04, 2021 13:00 - 21 minutes - 33.1 MB

I just won’t give up my wine. Wine is a big one. You can enter whatever you want though… the pub night with friends, parties, the pleasure of eating with abandon on the weekends. Chips at night while watching Netflix. The handfuls of chocolate chips when you're stressed. We keep searching for the hack that is going to let us eat whatever we want and keep up these habits AND lose the weight. I have some bad news, and some great news. Bad news: You will not get body transformation re...

December 28, 2020 13:00 - 20 minutes - 32.2 MB

"Something always derails me." "I do really well for a while, but then life happens and I can’t stick to my plan."   I hear these words a lot, and they are simply not true.    What's true is that 'life happens'. Whether it's the donuts in the staff room, tight work deadlines, holiday parties, a friend in the hospital, your child struggling with depression, or COVID-19... things are going to happen. Because this is life. What's not true is that you need to choose between 'life hap...
