One of the practices I have all of my clients do is to write down 3 new things before bed that they are grateful for. Sounds like an easy task until you try it. The hard part is the word “new.”⁣
⁣
After a few days of the big things that come to mind, suddenly you have to start searching elsewhere for something new. And the delightful part is that throughout the day, knowing that you’ll have to come up with something later on, you start looking at everything through the lens of “Is there something about this that I am grateful for?”⁣
⁣
It’s a beautiful way to see things and appreciate even the tiny benefits that a person or object might bring.⁣
⁣
After doing this task before bed, soul searching for those feelings of gratitude, drifting off to sleep becomes much easier, and those positive thoughts seem to manifest in our dreams. I can’t guarantee that will happen for everyone, but my clients can back me up on this.⁣

When I’m worried about a problem in my life and how on earth I’m going to resolve it, I take a deep breath and remind myself:⁣
⁣
I am 100% successful in my survival.⁣
⁣
I have figured out how to get me today and there is no reason why I won’t be able to get me to tomorrow, too.⁣
⁣
Everything will work out somehow.⁣
⁣
I just need to trust in me.⁣

I’ll let you in on a little secret… ⁣
⁣
Body fat is NOT the problem. ⁣
⁣
It is simply a sign that things are going amuck inside. ⁣
⁣
Fat burning has stalled, fat storage has increased, and this time it is visceral fat on the belly - which I call the "menopause middle.”⁣
⁣
Menopause changes the rules and it is very important to get in there early and adapt to the changes, to slow aging, decline and deter diseases from developing.⁣
⁣
We don’t usually seek help TODAY for something that may occur with our health in 5-20 years, but we MIGHT get help for the 20 pounds we’ve gained since menopause. ⁣
⁣
The 20 pounds are a sign that health issues are coming! ⁣
⁣
It’s the red flag warning. The red lights are flashing! 🆘 🚨 ⚠️ ⁣

We’ve spent a lot of time and money covering up those silver strands that seem to pop up overnight. I’m curious, at what point were you ready to pull the trigger and embrace the gray?⁣
⁣
How did you transition to your all over color? How long did it take to get used to the new version on you? How do you feel about the change?⁣
⁣
If you haven’t got there yourself (like me) tag a silver beauty pal who might be willing to answer these questions.⁣
⁣
Thanks a million! 🧡 ⁣

A few things you should know about sugar…⁣ ⁣

A few things you should know about sugar…⁣
⁣
⁣
Sugar can accelerate the appearance of wrinkles, cause acne, sagging skin around your chin and neck, increase dark spot development, and slow the healing of cuts and scars. ⁣
⁣
It can harm your gut biome, leading to leaky gut and inflammation, which can trigger a whole host of health issues as a result. ⁣
⁣
It is also a key instigator of insulin resistance, the smoking gun to most of our modern daily ailments.⁣
⁣
I don’t know about YOU, but I don’t want to look and feel old before I have to!⁣
⁣
See my latest blog post at smootherhealth.net for more evils on sugar, how to become a sugar detective and get details on today’s ONE task from the 1 Pledge Challenge.⁣

"...the minute my legs begin to move my thoughts begin to flow."⁣
⁣
This Henry David Thoreau quote certainly resonates with me! I couldn’t get through the day without my “brain breaks” where walking clears out the clutter and helps me settle back into the tasks at hand.⁣

Today’s 1 Pledge Task:⁣
⁣
Map your inside walking route and log 10+ minutes.⁣
⁣
Use the information in today's blog post (and reel) to inspire your own walking route throughout your home and/or office. https://smootherhealth.net/1-pledge-2023-jan-2/ ⁣
⁣
It doesn't have to be complex or full of fancy tricks, but if you want to make it fun and allow yourself to be silly, please have at it.⁣
⁣
Whatever you do, keep safety in mind.⁣
⁣
Put on your favorite feel-good music and soon you will be looking forward to your walking route break.⁣
⁣
Do it once, or be like my clients who do it on the hour or half hour as well.⁣
⁣
How many steps will YOU rack up today?⁣

Just start by moving.⁣
⁣
And move often.⁣
⁣
I have a path I take in my tiny apartment that allows me to get all my steps in throughout the day without leaving the house.⁣
⁣
Think little Billy in Family Circus when he was sent off to get something.⁣
⁣
This was particularly useful during lockdown when I was in Spain where for quite awhile we weren’t allowed out of our homes.⁣
⁣
Nowadays, I do make a point to also do my walking outside, but if I want to stay in my jammies all day, I will.⁣
⁣
Aww, the joys of working from home.⁣
⁣
Here’s what I tell my coaching clients:⁣
⁣
Try to get up from the couch or your office chair and move for 5-10 minutes every hour or half hour. Hit the bathroom, refill your water bottle, look outside, stretch yourself, take the scenic route or the stairs. It will refresh your eyes, your mind and you will feel more focused when you go back to what you were doing.⁣
⁣
Easy pace, in whatever you happen to be wearing – you don’t even have to put on your shoes.⁣
⁣
I like to have a route planned, covering as much floor space as possible so my “laps” are longer, and put in some challenges and obstacles along the way. This reel will show you some examples.⁣
⁣
You are only limited by your imagination.⁣

You are never TOO old and it’s never TOO late!⁣
⁣
If you want to get healthy, fit or just want to try something you've never been brave enough to try before,
⁣
I say…go for it!⁣
⁣
You’ll likely never regret giving it a try.⁣

But you'll probably regret it if you didn't.

Let's be daring and healthy in 2023! 🧡

⁣
Try this trick to help you choose Meaty Low Carb foods every time!⁣
⁣
Commit to snapping photos of EVERYTHING you eat - coffee, snacks, drinks and every meal and… SHARE it!⁣
⁣
If you’re shy about posting on social media, you can team up with a friend or your partner and TEXT them your photos and vice versa, but you have to make a pact and stick to it.⁣
If it’s 12:30 and you haven’t heard boo, you need to be on each other to find out if they suddenly decided to fast or what’s the story.⁣
⁣
Members of our private Facebook group for the SHC Community can also freely share them with us and a daily collage is an excellent way to do that. We love to see what others are eating and are always looking for great recipes and food ideas for ourselves. Join us! #secondhalfsisters⁣
⁣
If you commit 💯% to this, then if you get a hankering for junk food, you’ll think twice before indulging knowing that it won’t be just your own little secret.⁣
⁣
I’ve got food albums in my coaching app for the Menopausal Health Reset, and it is incredible to see how eating habits and food tastes change over the course of the 12 week program. Snacks and sweets quickly vanish, and meals become fewer and more substantial.⁣
⁣

Enjoy a safe and happy holiday, surrounded by lots of love and good cheer!

Merry Christmas! 🎄

🧡 Coach Cherie Ó

I’m certain it was divine intervention.⁣
⁣
I had been in holiday mode - dining out and drinking wine or cider on most days. Accepting the sweet and starchy snacks that were forcefully offered, suggesting them myself and making poorer choices more frequently.⁣
⁣
The hotel we were staying in had a scale in the bathroom. Against my best advice, I pulled it out to see what kind of damage I’d done.⁣
⁣
The battery was dead.⁣
⁣
Thank God. I knew better. ⁣
⁣
I didn’t need a number on a scale to point out that my feet were puffy, that my sleep was fitful or that my pants were feeling tight.⁣
⁣
All the scale could have definitively given me was my current gravitational force at that moment - not what was fat or muscle or water or organs or bones. And I would have likely jumped to some conclusion or judgement about myself based on that digital display on the screen.⁣
⁣
Guilt. Shame. Embarrassment. ⁣
⁣
It didn’t matter what the number might have been. What DID matter wass that I was unsatisfied with my snacking and drinking habits, and the way I felt in my body as a result. ⁣
⁣
THAT was something I could actively do something about.⁣
⁣
I went back to the basics I teach in my Menopausal Health Reset. I listened to my own good advice.⁣
⁣
Making the effort to put my health first, I detoxed off the crap and wiped out the cravings in just a few days. Gradually my digestion normalized, my sleep improved and my clothes became looser again.⁣
⁣
Rebounding from a spiral can actually be an easy fix, but no change can happen unless you make it.⁣

Today, in our private Facebook group for the Second Half Sisters (that’s us ladies over 50) I shared my go-to guide for the BEST fast food options while keeping Meaty Low Carb out there in the big, bad world.⁣
⁣
Just a little thinking outside the box can give you far more choices than just a bun-less burger.⁣
