Daily Bit of Fit

“I don’t want to.” This excuse shows up in everyone’s head at some point. But here’s the truth: you already do plenty of things every day that you don’t want to do, because you are an adult. In this episode of my excuses series, I am giving you some tough love. You might not want to workout, eat the veggie, drink the water, or go to bed on time, but those are the very things that give you energy,...

“I don’t know where to start.” It sounds like an honest excuse, but the truth is you already do know. You’re here, listening to this podcast, and you know that even a five-minute walk counts. In this episode of my excuses series, I’ll explain why you don’t need more information, you need action. The boring stuff works, even if it’s not flashy or Instagram-worthy. Moving your body, eating real food...

“I can’t afford it.” This excuse shows up everywhere, from gym memberships to healthy food. In today’s episode of my excuses series, I am breaking down why health does not have to be expensive and why the cheapest way to live is to take care of yourself. I will show you how movement can be done anywhere with no equipment, why whole foods can actually be more budget-friendly than junk, and how the...

“I feel guilty taking time for myself.” This excuse keeps so many women from moving their bodies and caring for their health. In this episode of my excuses series, I am breaking down why guilt is not a reason to avoid self-care. I share the story of a client who felt guilty about letting her kids watch a show while she worked out, until her husband reminded her that he wanted her to take care of h...

“I don’t have the energy.” This excuse keeps so many women stuck, but the truth is that energy is not something you wait for, it is something you create. In today’s episode of my excuses series, I am coaching you through the tiredness trap. I will explain why your sleep, food, and habits are draining you, and why it actually takes energy to make energy. Commit to two weeks of consistent movement a...

“I don’t have time to workout.” We’ve all said it, but is it really true? In this first episode of my excuses series, I’m coaching you through one of the most common reasons people give for skipping movement. I’ll ask you to take a hard look at your screen time, and if that excuse still holds up, I’ll show you how to break free from the all-or-nothing mindset. You don’t need an hour-long gym sessi...

Have you ever thought, “If I could just lose the weight, everything would finally fall into place”? In today’s episode, I’m asking you to reflect on whether your desire to be a certain weight is really about health or if it’s tied to the belief that it will magically solve other problems in your life. I dive into why weight loss alone doesn’t erase stress, unhappiness, or relationship struggles, a...

So many of the “truths” we’ve been told about health and fitness are actually myths that can keep us stuck. In today’s episode, I’m breaking down six of the most common ones I hear from clients — and probably ones you’ve believed too. From the idea that you need to weigh what you did in high school to the myth that your metabolism tanks as you age, we’ll get into what’s fact, what’s fiction, and w...

If you think weighing and measuring your food takes too much time, I want you to pause and really think about how much time and energy you have already spent on diets and plans that didn’t work. From hours spent Googling quick fixes to the frustration of “falling off the wagon,” the real time waster isn’t tracking your food for a few weeks, it’s staying stuck. In this episode, I’m breaking down wh...

If you are waiting for the “right time” to start working on your health, this episode is your wake-up call. That perfect, stress-free stretch of days you are picturing? It is never coming. Life will always be busy, messy, and unpredictable. In this episode, I am sharing why starting now is the only real option and how sustainability (not perfect timing) is the key to lasting results. We will talk...

Our choices are not made in a vacuum. From the grocery store to the hardware store, snack displays are everywhere, waiting to catch you in a moment of impulse. In this episode, I break down how businesses use your environment to influence your decisions, why impulse buys work so well, and what you can do to protect your health without relying on sheer willpower alone. If you have ever wondered why...

You have probably heard that lowering inflammation means taking a supplement, cutting out carbs, or finding ways to reduce stress. While those things can help, the biggest anti-inflammatory “hack” might surprise you. Maintaining a healthy weight is one of the most effective ways to reduce chronic, low-grade inflammation. This is the kind of inflammation that lingers around your organs and can trig...

We have all heard the classic formula: 3,500 calories equals a pound of fat, so a 500-calorie daily deficit should mean a pound lost each week. But here is the truth: your calorie deficit does not have to fit that exact formula to work. In this episode, I share why smaller, slower deficits can lead to better, more sustainable fat loss without feeling hungry and miserable all the time. If you have...

I heard a phrase recently that stopped me in my tracks: “There is no better version of you that is less healthy.” Today I’m unpacking why that is 100 percent true and what it means for your personal growth. Whether you want to be a better parent, partner, leader, or friend, your health will always play a role in how you show up. You can gain new skills and knowledge, but if your health is declinin...

Yes, your kids inherit your genes. But they also inherit your habits. The way you eat, move, rest, and talk about health becomes their blueprint. In today’s episode, we talk about how lifestyle choices can influence gene expression and why blaming “bad genes” doesn’t tell the whole story. You’re passing on more than DNA, you’re passing on how to live. Resources: ⁠Running with Bacon Health Coaching...

Ever tried to repeat an old weight loss plan only to find it doesn’t work anymore? In today’s episode, I’m diving into why that happens and why it’s not your fault. You’re not 26 anymore (and you probably don’t have two hours a day for cardio either). The truth is, your life has changed, and your plan should too. Tune in to hear why your past methods might not be the solution this time, and how to...

Let’s talk about why your goals might be keeping you stuck. You’ve probably said things like “I just want to eat better” or “I want to get healthier” and while that sounds great, what does it actually mean? Without defining your goals, it’s no wonder you feel like you’re always trying but not really getting anywhere. In today’s episode, I’m breaking down why vague goals feel so frustrating and wha...

Most of us are waiting to feel good before we press play on a workout. But the truth? That feeling rarely shows up on its own. In this episode, I’m sharing why you don’t need to feel amazing to move your body, and how your workout can actually be the thing that helps you feel better. Think of it like coffee. You don’t wait until you’re energized to grab a latte, right? You get the coffee because y...

We often treat habits like fragile streaks that disappear the second we mess up. But that is not how it works. In today’s episode, I share one of my favorite metaphors, the habit rabbit. If you have ever felt like you fell off track, this is your reminder that you can simply pick your habit back up and keep going.

Mary is a mom of two, a business owner, an author, and she was convinced she had zero time to commit to anything extra. She originally came into my program as a guest contributor, planning to sit on the sidelines, but one week in she realized something powerful. The accountability, the community, and the structure were exactly what she had been missing. She messaged me and said, “I want to pay for...

“I don’t have time.” “I need a meal plan.” “I’ve tried before and failed.” Sound familiar? In today’s episode, I’m busting through the biggest objections that hold women back from joining Fitter Faster because none of them are actually true. You don’t need endless willpower, a fancier planner, or another round of starting over on Monday. What you need is structure, accountability, and support that...

Today I’m sharing Amanda’s story, and if you’re a busy mom who’s tried everything to get back on track, this is one you’ll relate to. She’s a working mom with a toddler, a former athlete who lost her rhythm after college, and someone who thought she could power through on her own. But when life threw curveballs, she found herself starting over again and again. What finally changed everything? Acco...

Fitter Faster is back and this round is punchier than ever! For years I ran it as a 3-month program, but this time it’s just 8 weeks, timed perfectly to carry you into the holidays feeling strong, confident, and in control. It’s not about perfection or overhauling your whole life. It’s about consistency, doable workouts, and nutrition habits that actually stick... without the overwhelm. What makes...
