The first half of life is for learning. The second half of life is for living.

The New Mid is a frank, funny look at women in mid-life and their day-to day-struggles and successes, as well as the big stuff - questions about meaning, fulfillment and happiness. It’s a place where women in their 40’s and up are breaking societal boundaries and expectations, while still dealing with real life issues such as caring for aging parents or restarting their careers.  You’ll get real talk with nothing held back about the topics you care about, with experts weighing in on health, sex, finances, relationships and everything in between.

Dr. Kelly Donahue joins me today to give us tips on how to have a healthy diet and lifestyle. They are simple and easy to implement.  

 

SHOW NOTES

 

·      First – Make it Easy: if you think “This will be hard” it will be. Change your mindset to “This is something I can do.”

·      Second – Start Small: Radical change may work for some but it’s harder to sustain. Small changes done consistently create habits that are sustainable. 

·      Third – Modify Your Environment

o   Food: Don’t keep it in the house if you don’t want it. Keep it healthy.

o   People: Reduce time spent with negative people. Be sure to surround yourself with positive healthy people.

o   Activity: Make it easy to be active. Put weights in front of the tv so you’ll use them. Put your running shoes under your desk at work so you can go on a walk at lunch.
