Get Your GOAL: Weight Loss Mindset for Women Over 50

How To Make it Through the Holidays Without Gaining Weight Nov 21, 2024

It’s near the end of November, and you know what that means: days are shorter, nights are longer, and there’s extra food everywhere you turn. Historically, you’ve put on anywhere from five to fifteen pounds in the final six weeks of the year, and you really want to change that. But how can you make it through the holidays without gaining weight? That’s exactly what we’re diving into on today’s podcast.

Rather than white-knuckling your way through the holidays this year, let’s explore some of the unhelpful thoughts you probably have, that have created weight gain in years past, and start shifting into helpful thoughts that will change everything.

Because this is the real crux of how to make it through the holidays without gaining weight: you make one mindset shift at a time.

They all add up, and before you know it, holidays don’t feel hard. Losing weight doesn’t feel hard. Changing your habits, changing your mind, and changing your life – none of them feel hard when you give yourself a little shift.

Hey friend! I'm Pahla B, host of the Get Your GOAL podcast and holistic (mind+body) weight loss coach. I help ambitious women over 50 like you ditch your dieting mindset, so you can finally lose weight for the last time.

It Sucks To Be Stuck (How To Get Unstuck and Start Losing Weight Again) Nov 14, 2024

You, as a human being, are never actually stuck. But your brain sure wants you to think you are, doesn’t it? I mean, your weight is absolutely, positively, 100% not moving. You’re stuck! And it sucks. That’s why today’s podcast is all about getting you unstuck so you can start losing weight again.

It literally does not matter what goal you’re aiming for, or how many other goals you’ve achieved in your life, the path to your current goal is and will always be littered with stuckness. It’s part of the journey. It’s expected. It’s inevitable.

And as an ambitious, overthinking menopausal woman who has achieved a lot of pretty spectacular goals in my life (and I’m currently on my way to another really big one), I have felt that stuckness. It sucks, I will sympathize with you on that.

But also, because I’m your friendly neighborhood life coach, I won’t let either one of us wallow in how much it sucks, because here’s the thing: You can always get unstuck. Always.

And in this episode, I’ll show you exactly how.

The Four Most Effective Journaling Prompts for Faster Weight Loss Nov 07, 2024

What if you could stop wasting time staring at your blank journal page, and just know exactly what to ask yourself? (Oh yeah, and bonus… what if those questions would help you LOSE WEIGHT, too?)
My friend, not only do I have the solution here on today’s podcast, but I’ve also got a brand new free resource for you with the four most effective journaling prompts for faster weight loss.

No matter what you’re doing in life, you will be better served by working with biology instead of against it. And here’s the thing to know about biology: we humans are always always always seeking pleasure and avoiding pain.

So these journaling prompts are effective because they shine a light on what’s pleasurable for you and make it very clear where you’re trying to force yourself to do something… well, not necessarily physically painful, but emotionally unpleasant or uncomfortable, like denying yourself your favorite foods or making yourself exercise in ways you don’t enjoy.

And the prompts will help you lose weight faster because simplicity plus systems equals speed. Once again, we’re working with biology here. Your brain loves to categorize information, and it’s literally hard-wired to enjoy repetition.

So, these four journaling prompts? They’re like a win-win-win-win situation, as far as biology is concerned.

Thanks for listening! 💞

Five Surprising Things I Gave Up When I Lost Weight in My 50s Aug 08, 2024

You want to lose weight, and you’re willing to do whatever it takes. You’re pretty sure that you’re going to have to give up a few things, and you’re absolutely right about that. But it might not be the things you expect. On today’s episode of the Get Your GOAL podcast, I’m sharing five surprising things I gave up when I lost weight for the last time in my 50s.

Isn’t it funny how we always think that giving something up is a bad thing? Like, when you saw the title of this podcast, you probably thought something like, “Oh, Pahla’s gonna tell me that she had to give up her favorite food, or that she gave up drinking wine.”

Or we associate giving up with quitting or backing down from a standard we think is unachievable. Again, in a bad way. Like maybe you think I’m going to tell you that I gave up on trying to get back down to the weight I was in high school, or I gave up trying to fit into my wedding dress again.

When it comes to weight loss, we really think that giving something up always means choosing what’s right instead of what’s fun, or doing what we have to do instead of what we want to do.

If we want to lose weight we have to buckle down, put the lid on, get serious, stay focused, restrict ourselves, stay away from temptation, eat perfectly, drink perfectly, sleep perfectly, exercise perfectly, and don’t forget to manage your mind perfectly, too, right?

My friend, the answer is no on all accounts.

So, what did I give up to lose weight in my 50s?

I gave up feeling sorry for myself.
I gave up blaming other people.
I gave up criticizing my body.
I gave up thinking I couldn’t figure it out.
I gave up losing weight ever again.

And I whole-heartedly encourage YOU to give these things up, too – while still enjoying your favorite foods, living your best life, and pursuing the goal that makes your heart sing.

3 Things I Stopped Doing When I Lost Weight For the Last Time Jul 11, 2024

I know there are plenty of things you’re looking forward to doing when you finish losing weight, but have you ever thought about what you’ll stop doing? Ever since I lost weight for the last time in my 50s, I’ve noticed these three surprising things that I just don’t do anymore. And today, I’m sharing them with you.

Let’s paint a picture of what life looks like when you’re not just done losing weight, but really, truly, and absolutely finished.

These three things I’m sharing with you today didn’t just magically disappear from my life the day I hit my goal weight. In fact, they took a full ‘nuther year or two or three after I’d lost the weight before I finished untangling my mindset.

So, each one of these three things that I stopped doing when I lost weight for the last time represents the mindset work, the untangling of old thoughts, beliefs, and neural pathways, that I did while I was losing weight and in the years since then.

Are you ready to see what’s waiting for you on the other side of losing weight? Let’s dig in!

How To Control Your Eating Without Using Willpower Jul 04, 2024

Controlling your eating is pretty easy for you, isn’t it? But once or twice a week, you find yourself raiding the pantry, eating from boredom or stress.

You know that if you could get control of your eating, you know you’d lose weight, but you just don’t seem to have the willpower.

Well, I have good news, because on today’s episode of the Get Your GOAL podcast, I’m sharing exactly how to control your eating without using willpower.

I am a woman who has engaged in all kinds of eating behaviors over the course of my lifetime. From way overeating, to way undereating, to comfort or boredom or stress eating. I’ve done the extreme restriction thing, and I’ve also done the “F it, I’m eating a bag of Cheetos for dinner” thing.

And I’ve come through all of it to land here, in a place where food is now an easy, pleasurable part of my life, with none of the guilt of “diet thinking” holding me back.

This process – the two simple mindset steps that I’m diving into today - is work that I personally have done to go from feeling like I was constantly at the mercy of my unexplainable and uncontrollable eating urges to living a life of total diet freedom.

And the best part? I didn’t use willpower to get here and I don’t have to rely on willpower to stay here, either, because what I have is self trust.

You, my friend, can feel this way about food, too. Listen now to find out how!

This Is Why You Can't Get Consistent Jun 27, 2024

Of course you want to get consistent with your weight loss habits, but consistency feels SO hard, and right now you’re wondering if you should just throw in the towel. My friend, if you’re struggling with consistency, this episode is for you, because today I’m sharing three reasons why you can’t get consistent and exactly what to do about it.

I know everybody and their weight loss coach tells you how you’ve gotta be consistent to reach your goals, and we all sort of acknowledge, like “Yeah, consistency is hard,” but nobody talks about why it’s so hard or what to do about it, other than using willpower or self-discipline.

But, my friend, even though I am a weight loss coach, I’m definitely not “everybody,” and the solution I’m sharing with you today is going to crack your mindset wide open *and* solve your consistency problems.

Because the problem isn’t your crazy schedule or your character. The real problem is your unspoken, undefined, and largely unconscious (or at least subconscious) expectations of what consistency is “supposed to” look like.

And, yes, what I’m saying is that you have mindset blocks about consistency.

So today, we’re digging into those blocks with three common reasons why you can’t get consistent (and how to fix them).

How Journaling Helps You Lose Weight Jun 20, 2024

So, you’re ready to lose weight for the last time by changing your mindset. But how exactly do you do that? And why does it work, when all the dieting you’ve been doing after menopause makes it feel like nothing will ever work again? In this episode of the Get Your GOAL podcast, I’m sharing exactly how journaling helps you lose weight.

It’s no secret that I am a huge fan of journaling. In fact, I consider myself a journaling coach, a journaling mentor, and even a journaling teacher.

I think a lot of us know that journaling is good for us, in that vague way that we know brushing our teeth is good for us. Like, everybody says it’s helpful, but how? And why?

Well, a dentist will tell you that your gum health is actually directly tied to your heart health, and a life coach – me – will tell you that journaling for self awareness is the direct path to creating weight loss habits you can stick with.

And, like a dentist who is an expert in their field, I can talk about journaling all day long! Or, for about 45 minutes. Today’s full-length, deep dive episode is another foray into the Pahla B archives, with a Masterclass I taught just a few months ago, called “How To Lose All the Weight You Want (by journaling about it!)”

When you listen all the way through, you’ll get not just the teaching part, but the Q&A from other menopausal women who are struggling with the same weight loss questions you are. This episode is chock full of the actionable information you need to start journaling for weight loss right now. Enjoy!

How To Get Faster Weight Loss Results Jun 13, 2024

Of course you want faster weight loss results. We all do! But it already feels like you’re doing everything you can. Should you eat even less? Workout even more? My friend, you don’t need to do either one of those things, because I have a short list of two things you can do that’ll really move the needle on the scale.

As I promised you last week, I’ve got another deep-dive Masterclass that I pulled up from the Pahla B archives. This one was called “Speed Up Your Results By Doing These Two Things,” and I know you’re going to find some real gems in here.

I originally recorded this webinar way back in early 2023, and it really covers a lot of actionable ground for how to move forward on your weight loss journey.

And just like last week, you also get the added treat of listening in to the Q&A session after the webinar, so be sure to listen all the way to the end. Enjoy!

Can You REALLY Eat What You Want and Still Lose Weight? Jun 06, 2024

After a lifetime of hearing that you have to eat healthy or low calorie foods to lose weight, or you have to give up carbs or fats or desserts to lose the weight you want – well, overthinking menopausal women like you are understandably skeptical when my answer to the question of “Can you REALLY eat what you want and still lose weight?” is unequivocally “Yes, you can.”

When I was preparing for this week’s episode of the Get Your GOAL podcast, I went back into the Pahla B archives to watch a Masterclass I had put on about eight or nine months ago. I knew I had made a couple of points in that class that I wanted to share with you on the podcast, but I had honestly forgotten just how useful and actionable the whole class was.

So today, instead of just sharing a few points from that Masterclass, I’m sharing the entire thing, including the viewer Q&A at the end, which was super valuable as well.

And let me give you a little heads up. While I was in the vault, I found a couple of other Masterclasses I’m excited to share with you, too. So, over the next three weeks, you can enjoy these longer episodes that get super in-depth on the weight loss mindset topics you care about most.

Today’s Masterclass was recorded last fall, and it’s all about how to navigate “eating season” while you’re losing weight. Enjoy!

Four "Diet Thoughts" You Can Let Go Of Today May 30, 2024

I know you’ve got ‘em, because everybody has “diet thoughts.” In your head, they make so much sense and they sound so true. But not only are these thoughts not true, they’re holding you back from losing all the weight you want. So today, we’re exploring four “diet thoughts” you can let go of right now.

Letting go of your unhelpful thinking is a piece of the weight loss mindset puzzle that often gets overlooked.

And I get it. I mean, it’s so much more pleasant to write affirmations to yourself on your mirror or to make gratitude lists or count your blessings or celebrate your wins. Everybody wants to feel good. Me, too.

But skipping over the yucky parts of your journey isn’t doing you any favors. In fact, not releasing your diet thoughts is the exact reason you’re either struggling to lose weight right now or the culprit behind why you’ve gained and lost weight so many times in your life.

As long as you continue thinking “diet thoughts” you’ll continue being on a diet.

Are you ready to let them go? Let’s dig in!

Should You Change Your Calories? May 23, 2024

Hands down, the most common question I get from women who are struggling to lose weight after menopause is, “Should I change my calories?” And the short answer is “Probably not.” But if you want to learn all about it, let’s dive in!

You’ve been trying to lose weight for a while. Months. Maybe even years. And in spite of your best efforts, the scale is either staying the same or bouncing around within a couple of pounds.

Every time you weigh yourself, you’re feeling frustrated and doubtful. At the end of the day, you’re looking at your numbers and wondering why you’re even bothering. It just seems like you’re standing still.

So you must need to change your calories, right?

GOALfriend, I feel you on a deep, soul level. But instead of continuing to spin around and around with the question, “Should I change my calories?” on this week’s episode of the Get Your GOAL podcast, I’ve got four even better questions to ask yourself.

If you’re ready to shift out of calorie confusion and into weight loss confidence, this is the episode for you.

3 Tips For Consistent Weight Loss May 16, 2024

It’s so frustrating to watch the constant up and down on the scale, isn’t it? You just want to lose weight consistently! Well, on today’s episode of the Get Your GOAL podcast, I’m spilling the tea, with three tips for consistent weight loss.

It’s true that weight loss never moves in a direct, straight line down, but you can achieve a continuous, consistent downward trend over time.

The key?

Understanding the body-based inputs you have complete control over (calories, water, sleep schedule, and exercise), and managing your mindset.

The trick with those body-based inputs is that they are virtually impossible to follow through with consistently, unless you’re managing your mindset first. This is why I’m a mindset coach, and why the three tips I’m offering you today are all about mindset.

When you’ve got mindset, you’ve got everything you need to get your goal. So let’s dig in!

Hey friend! I'm Pahla B, host of the Get Your GOAL podcast and holistic (mind+body) weight loss coach. I help ambitious women over 50 like you ditch your dieting mindset, so you can finally lose weight for the last time.

Which One of These 3 Things is Keeping You Stuck? May 09, 2024

I’ve worked with thousands of menopausal women over the years, and every single one of them has gotten stuck at some point on their weight loss journey. Thankfully, getting stuck isn’t random, nor is it permanent. Today, I’m sharing the universal places everybody struggles, so you can figure out which of these three things is keeping YOU stuck.

I truly believe that the reason we human beings set goals for ourselves is to learn something deeper about our human experience. And the way we learn whatever it is we need to learn is by being challenged.

Struggling. Getting stuck.

And it’s my mission in life to help you, not just struggle less, but to see the struggle and the stuckness as opportunities to learn something about yourself, and to love, trust, and respect yourself even more because of it.

Why (and How!) I Stopped Dieting May 02, 2024

Of course you want to be done dieting because who wants all that restriction and anxiety? But you’re also pretty sure you have to diet to lose weight after menopause. Thankfully, you don’t have to feel like you’re on a diet at all. So today, I’m sharing exactly WHY and HOW I stopped dieting, while I was losing weight for the last time in my 50s.

Feeling like you’re on a diet is optional, and the truth of it is that you’re far more likely to be successful at losing weight and maintaining it for life when what you feel is amazing.

So, today I’m sharing four ways I used to feel like I was on a diet and exactly what I did to stop dieting and start loving, trusting, understanding, and believing in myself instead.

Are you ready to set yourself free from the worry, frustration, judgment and restriction of dieting? I’ve got you covered. Tune in and let’s go.

Top 5 Weight Loss Mindset Blocks Apr 25, 2024

On this week’s episode of the Get Your GOAL podcast, I’m diving into the top five weight loss mindset blocks to show you exactly how they’re stopping you and what you can do about it.

The 12 Biggest Weight Loss MYTHS, Debunked Apr 18, 2024

There’s a lot of information out there about weight loss for menopausal women, and some of it is straight-up wrong. To help you separate fact from fiction, on this week’s episode of the Get Your GOAL podcast, we’re debunking twelve of the biggest weight loss myths, plus of course I’ll share the real facts so you can lose all the weight you want and keep it off forever.

Your body and your brain are always always always working together, so any weight loss advice that doesn’t address your mindset isn’t giving you the complete answer.

Second, and this is almost the same point, but in a broader context, weight loss is never about one thing.

Which means that any advice that purports that weight loss is driven by one singular factor – like eating during a specific window of time, or eliminating a specific type of food, or exercising in a specific way – is incomplete.

The simple science behind weight loss is that it’s driven by three things, in this exact order: 1, believing that you can, 2, eating in a slight caloric deficit over time, and 3, lovingly supporting your menopausal metabolism.

So now that you know the facts, let’s get to the Twelve Biggest Weight Loss MYTHS, so we can debunk those suckers!

What To Do When You're Not Losing Weight Apr 11, 2024

When you’re not losing weight it’s almost never because of your calories. And yet, that’s the conclusion we all jump to immediately, even though changing up your calories is more likely to slow you down than speed you up. On this week’s episode of the Get Your GOAL podcast, I’m sharing three important things to do (that aren’t changing your calories) when you’re not losing weight.

Weight loss is a long game, and it’s driven by three things, in this exact order: number one, believing that you can, number two, eating in a slight caloric deficit over time, and number three, lovingly supporting your menopausal metabolism while you do numbers one and two.

Fiddling around with your calories (number two) before you address the belief piece (number one) is kind of like trying to read a book in a foreign language when you don’t even know the alphabet yet. Sure, you can make guesses, but it’s unlikely that you’ll make sense of the story.

Imagine jumping into the deep end of a pool when you don’t believe that you can swim. You’ll just thrash around and, at best, tread water, instead of gliding smoothly to the other side.

You absolutely, positively, must take a look at your mindset – your beliefs – before making adjustments to your calories, so that you don’t find yourself splashing around and not making progress toward your weight loss goal.

This is why the three things to do when you’re not losing weight that I’m sharing with you today are all mindset-focused – so you can swim like a champion and read novels with ease.

No, I’m joking.

I’m showing you how to change your mindset so you can lose all the weight you want after menopause and keep it off forever.

4 Reasons You’re Not Losing Weight… Yet Apr 04, 2024

You’ve been working on losing weight for a while, but you’re still not seeing the results you want on the scale. It feels super frustrating to put in all this effort and not be making any progress. So, why aren’t you losing weight? And what can you do about it? On this week’s episode of the Get Your GOAL podcast, I’m sharing four reasons why you’re not losing weight … yet.

Before we get into it, make sure you really take the time to hear the last word in the title of this episode: yet.

While it may or may not be true that you’re not losing weight right now (and we’ll talk about how that might not even be true in reason number four!), your current weight loss progress is not an indicator of your future success.

Because the simple formula for permanent weight loss is this: Step One, believe that you can lose weight. Step Two, eat in a slight caloric deficit over time, and Step Three, lovingly support your menopausal metabolism while you’re doing Step One and Step Two.

Right now, there’s a really good chance that disbelief is lurking in every corner of your brain. It’s not just the thought, “I don’t believe I can lose weight” that’s stopping you, though that’s definitely one of the most common mindset blocks I hear.

But there are other ways that disbelief shows up in your life and, notably, on the scale, that we’re talking about today. These four reasons you’re not losing weight YET, are your ticket to uncovering your disbelief mindset blocks, so you can bust through them.

How To Lose Weight Without Feeling Like You're On a Diet Mar 28, 2024

You can’t really lose weight without dieting…can you? What if this so-called conventional wisdom isn’t very wise after all? What if you could lose all the weight you want and keep it off forever, without feeling like you’re on a diet at all? My friend, you can, and this episode of the Get Your GOAL podcast will tell you how.

The fact is, you can DO all the things to lose weight – which is to say, creating belief in yourself and eating in a slight caloric deficit over time, while supporting your menopausal metabolism with adequate hydration, sleep, and exercise – without FEELING like you’re on a diet.

Because your feelings don’t come from what you’re doing – they come from your thoughts. 🤯

You’re not doomed to constantly feeling restriction, obligation, pressure, uncertainty, frustration, anger, or overwhelm on your weight loss journey. In fact, this week I’m offering up three alternative (and much more pleasant) feelings that you can easily have while you’re losing weight, instead of feeling like you’re on a diet.

Thanks for joining me!

The 3 Biggest Mindset Shifts I Made To Lose Weight In My 50s Mar 21, 2024

A couple of years ago, I lost weight for the last time. And while I was losing weight, I experienced three really big mindset shifts that forever changed the way I think about my body, my weight, and myself. So today, I’m sharing with you the three biggest mindset shifts I made to lose weight in my 50s.

Mindset is basically just another word for belief or beliefs. Which is basically just another way of saying a thought or collection of thoughts that you’ve been practicing subconsciously and maybe haven’t challenged.

We all have beliefs we’ve never looked at! And that’s why mindset work is such a crucial part of weight loss. Right now, you have beliefs about losing weight that are holding you back, and any time you want to, you can simply challenge them and SHIFT to a different belief.

Here are the three biggest mindset shifts I made to lose weight in my 50s:

From “I can’t” to “I can, but I might choose not to”
From “Menopause sucks!” to “This is what my body is supposed to do”
From “Losing weight is harder over 50” to “Losing weight is different over 50”

Losing weight in your 50s and beyond and keeping it off for the rest of your life will require you to shift your mindset. Right now you have thoughts and beliefs that aren’t helping you lose the weight you want. But you can shift out of your unhelpful mindset and into the thoughts, beliefs and feelings that will take you directly to your goal weight.

5 Things You're NOT Doing That Are Slowing Down Your Weight Loss Results Mar 14, 2024

Wanna speed up your weight loss results? Of course you do. Then my friend, one of the first things you need to look at is what you’re currently doing (or in this case, NOT doing) that’s slowing you down. On this week’s episode of the Get Your GOAL podcast, I’m sharing five things you’re NOT doing that are slowing down your weight loss results.

I get asked a lot about what to DO for weight loss – which makes sense, because I’m a weight loss coach! And of course I have a super simple framework called The 5-0 Method that tells you exactly what to do each day to lose all the weight you want and keep it off forever.

But the thing we’re talking about today is something I almost never get asked about, and that’s what you’re NOT doing, and how it’s not only dramatically affecting your weight loss, but could be the reason why you would struggle to keep the weight off in the future.

Here are five things you’re NOT doing that are slowing down your weight loss results:

You’re not JOURNALING
You’re not WEIGHING YOURSELF
You’re not TRACKING YOUR CALORIES
You’re not HOLDING YOURSELF ACCOUNTABLE
You’re not DOING A MONTHLY CHECK IN

Being willing to look at yourself honestly – your thoughts, your weight, your calories, your accountability and your progress – is THE THING that will speed up your weight loss results.

Why Weight Loss is Important Feb 29, 2024

You’ve been wanting to lose weight for a while now, but there’s a part of you that feels really foolish about going on another diet in your 50s. I mean, how vain is that? It’s not like you’re going to go running around in a bikini at this age.

But on the other hand, you’ve always wanted to be a woman of a “certain age” who looks and feels her best. One of those women whose whole essence oozes calm confidence and self-assurance. Maybe you could rock a bikini.

Ugh! But maybe you should just get over it and accept that this is your menopausal body – with 30 extra pounds. My friend, if this is the argument that you keep having in your head about whether or not weight loss is important, this podcast episode is for YOU.

Join me as we identify the lessons you’ll learn and the benefits you’ll gain on a weight loss journey to self love, self trust, and showing up as your best self in the world.

Losing Weight for the Last Time Feb 22, 2024

You’ve gained and lost weight before, maybe even dozens of times, and you’re sick of it. You’re ready to be done with this dieting nonsense forever. But how does that even work? How do you lose weight for the last time? Like THIS.

On this week’s episode, I’m going to lay out how to lose weight for the last time in a step-by-step list, but let me also point out the overarching theme – the one key takeaway that, if it’s the only thing you remember from this podcast, it’ll still send you in the right direction.

And it’s this: losing weight for the last time REQUIRES YOU to create a loving and trusting brain-body connection. If you don’t do this, you will continue to create the results you’ve created in the past, or the results you currently have. Meaning, you’ll gain and lose weight again and again, or you’ll stay stuck where you are now.

On the other hand, when your brain and your body are working together as a team, you will be unstoppable, and getting to your goal weight will be inevitable.

Tune in now, and when you’re ready to lose weight for the last time, join us in the Get Your GOAL group!

This week’s episode of the Get Your GOAL podcast is super practical, with step-by-step instructions that’ll help you

The "F" Word Feb 08, 2024

Don’t worry, today’s episode of the Get Your GOAL podcast isn’t really about the “F” word you’re probably thinking of – the four-lettered one. But we are absolutely going to chat about a certain three-lettered “F” word that’s slowing down your weight loss, and I’ll be sharing my best strategies for overcoming this common mindset block, so you can get your goal.

You’re kind of afraid of writing certain things in your journal, aren’t you? Like it’s too personal, or too embarrassing, or too vulgar to put into writing.

Maybe you’re afraid of writing in your journal at all. If you had a sibling read your diary when you were younger or adults telling you that “good girls don’t talk like that,” you might be worried that your words could be used against you.

But, my friend, let me say this plainly: censoring yourself in your journal is blocking you from losing weight.

So in this week’s episode of the Get Your GOAL podcast, we’re uncovering why you do it, how to stop, and how it’ll change your life (and your weight!) to be completely open and honest with yourself inside the safety of your journal.

How to Stay On Track for Weight Loss (Even When You're Out of Your Routine!) Feb 01, 2024

Weight loss is actually pretty straightforward. You have a routine, and you stick to your routine. And it all goes just fine… as long as you’re in your routine. But when you go out to eat, or somebody brings donuts to work, or there’s a wedding or a new baby or a birthday to celebrate – I mean, how can you stay on track for weight loss when you’re out of your routine? We’re getting into it today, love, and I’m going to show you exactly how.

First and foremost, I offer you this: you’re always on track for weight loss. Every part of your journey – even the twists and turns and long stretches of not feeling like you’re losing weight – is getting you to your goal.

And.

I also have some really practical mindset advice around making decisions about what “on track” looks like for you, and how to have your own back to stick with it.

Imagine feeling confident about your choices no matter where you go, or who you’re eating with, or what’s being served. And picture how fast you’ll get to your goal when you get off the “on track-off track” merry-go-round, and stay focused.

It’s available to you, and this episode of the Get Your GOAL podcast will show you how.

What To Do When the Scale Goes UP Jan 25, 2024

You stepped on the scale this morning, and it was up 1.2 pounds from yesterday. Your heart sank to your stomach, and your brain went into overdrive, telling you that obviously, this is a disaster – you’re gaining weight! You’re never going to get to your goal, or if you do, now it’s going to take longer. It’s all because of those stupid cookies you ate yesterday. If you had any self control at all, this wouldn’t have happened. But it’s going to be okay, today’s a new day, and you’ll just get on with it as best you can.

Sounds familiar, doesn’t it? My friend, today on the Get Your GOAL podcast, we’re digging deep into the monkey chatter you hear in your brain, and I’ve got a simple, practical MINDSET solution for what to do when the scale goes up.

Before we talk about mindset, though, let’s clear up a little biology: today’s weight didn’t go up because of what you ate yesterday. Your body has billions of daily processes that affect the scale, and what you’ve recently eaten is only the tiniest fraction of that.

The problem is that simply understanding this fact intellectually doesn’t stop you from feeling bad. Well, here’s why: your brain is hard-wired to make meaning from data. It’s normal, it’s natural, and it’s just what your brain does!

But hang on, because here comes some amazing news: your brain is ALSO hard-wired to be able to simply observe without making meaning. We just don’t get taught to use this skill, because the other way is sort of the default.

When you practice this superpower, though, you’ll be unstoppable. The scale won’t ruin your day, you won’t be tempted to overexercise or undereat in response to today’s weight, and you’ll feel calm and in control – even when the scale goes up.

Fast Weight Loss vs. Permanent Weight Loss Jan 18, 2024

Which would you rather: lose weight fast, or lose weight permanently? This is easy: FAST weight loss! No, wait. PERMANENT weight loss. Fast? Permanent? It’s so hard to choose! Well, hold onto your hat, GOALfriend, because they’re not mutually exclusive, and today I’m going to tell you how you can have BOTH.

First a disclaimer: when I’m saying fast weight loss, I’m not writing a snake oil check that biology can’t cash. Your body has limits to what it can and will do. For a woman over 50, “fast weight loss” means losing something in the neighborhood of 1-5 pounds a month, without starting and stopping over and over, or stalling out for weeks, months, or years at a time.

And permanent weight loss doesn’t mean you’ll never gain an ounce, but rather that you’ll maintain your weight within a range of about 5-10 pounds while – here’s the best part – never worrying about your weight again.

So our topic today answers the question: what can you do to put an end to self-sabotage, keep losing weight consistently, and ensure that you’ll get all the way to your goal weight without gaining it all right back?

In this episode of the Get Your GOAL podcast, we’re taking an honest look at the roots of impatience that have you craving fast weight loss, and I’m sharing the super simple actions you can take that’ll make your weight loss both fast and permanent.

Getting Your Brain Onboard with Weight Loss Jan 11, 2024

Weight loss over 50 is driven by three things, in this exact order: number one, believing that you can. Number two, eating in a slight caloric deficit over time, and number three, lovingly supporting your metabolism while you do the other two things.

Getting your brain onboard with weight loss and believing that you can lose weight is, hands down, the most important part of your weight loss journey. Your body doesn’t go anywhere your brain doesn’t go first. But the solution isn’t just chanting affirmations or forcing yourself to think positive thoughts.

There’s actually a simple path to total weight loss belief in yourself, your body, and your decisions that starts with observation.

Observing a thing (your disbeliefs) changes a thing. And this is the exact work we begin with The 5-0 Method, which includes journaling prompts that help you observe your brain and its disbeliefs.

The next step is untangling those disbeliefs, by feeling your feelings instead of shoving them down. Getting in touch with your body and building this bridge of trust between your thoughts and feelings is the root of unshakeable belief.

And finally, the last step is setting yourself free from your old disbeliefs, by gently letting them go. Learning to master the skills of observing, untangling and setting free is the clear path to permanent weight loss.

This is Why Your Other Weight Loss Programs Didn't Work Jan 04, 2024

Wanna know why your last weight loss program didn’t work? The short answer is this: they were only trying to change your body. But my friend, weight loss only finishes in your body. It starts in your brain.
So, if you want to ditch the programs that don’t work, and lose weight for the last time, you gotta know what’s been missing from those other plans. Which is exactly what we’re talking about today.
Weight loss feels like such a “body thing,” and you’ve heard your whole life that it’s all about calories in and calories out, so if you want to lose one pound, you’ve gotta burn 3500 calories. But how come it’s never that easy in real life?
Because sustainable, permanent weight loss isn’t just about your body.
Your brain and your body are always working together, which means that your weight loss program needs to work with them both.

10:10 Many programs didn't work due to unsustainable habits and food preferences.

TRAILER: Lose Weight for the Last Time with the Get Your GOAL Podcast Dec 21, 2023

Ever since menopause came crashing into your life, nothing seems to work for weight loss anymore. You’ve tried eating less, moving more, and even that “three-day detox” nonsense. But have you tried changing your mind?

Losing weight is actually pretty simple, and it always comes down to two things. Number one, believing that you can, and number two, eating in a slight caloric deficit over time.
My zone of genius is helping you with the belief piece.

In my 20s, 30s, and 40s, I gained and lost weight half a dozen times. But in my 50s, I lost weight for the last time by changing how I think about myself, my body, and menopause.

I'm your host, Pahla B, and I created this podcast to share what I know about weight loss mindset, so you can break free from your diet mentality, learn to trust and love yourself and your body unconditionally, and finally live the delicious life you deserve.

Ep. 312: Your Questions About Calories Nov 05, 2023

When it comes to losing weight over 50, there’s so much conflicting information. But the science is clear, and I can help you sort it out so YOU can lose all the weight you want and keep it off forever.
On this week’s episode of the Get Your GOAL podcast, we’re diving into the archives and answering your questions about calories!
Should you eat your calories throughout the day, or is it okay to eat them in one setting? And what if you’re still hundreds of calories away from your target, but it’s the end of the day? You don’t want to throw your body into starvation mode, but you don’t want to gain weight from late-night snacking either. So what’s a menopausal girl to do?
The short answer is: it depends – not just on the calories, but on your other metabolism-supporting habits, and (most importantly) how you feel.
Making The 5-0 Method work for you means listening to your brain and your body to make decisions that feel doable and sustainable.

Ep. 311: Stop "shoulding" on yourself Oct 29, 2023

Feel like there are things you should be doing for weight loss (like drinking enough water), but you’re just not motivated? This week on the Get Your GOAL podcast, we’re diving into the struggle of consistency and I’m sharing my personal experience with staying hydrated. So grab your water bottle and let’s reframe your mindset to break free from the burdensome “shoulds!”
It's happened to all of us at some point. You start off all gung-ho about drinking the recommended amount of water every day, only to fall off the wagon and berate yourself for not doing what you "should" be doing. Sound familiar? But here's the thing I've learned: all this "shoulding" doesn't do you any good. It just drags you down and makes you feel burdened. And what's worse is that it often leads to avoiding doing the very thing you're "shoulding" yourself to do!
So, what's the solution? Instead of telling yourself, "I *should* be drinking my water," ask yourself, "Why do I *want* to drink water?" It seems like such a small difference, but trust me, focusing on the reasons you want to do something makes it easier to take action. Rather than feeling burdened, you’ll discover a sense of curiosity and excitement about drinking water.
And here's the real secret: It's finding your own motivation, your own reasons for wanting to drink water that’ll get you to actually drink. Maybe it's because you want to feel energized, or because it supports your weight loss goal, or simply because it makes you feel good. Whatever it is, make it personal and meaningful to you. Stop "shoulding" on yourself and start creating the results you really want.
Cheers to a fabulous, hydrated life, my friend!

Ep. 310: Sleeping for Weight Loss Oct 22, 2023

How much sleep do you *really* need for weight loss? And what if you’re awake in the night with racing thoughts? In this week’s episode of the Get Your GOAL podcast, I’ve got the scoop on all things SLEEP and how it impacts your weight loss journey. So grab a cup of tea, sit back, and enjoy!
In today's episode, I've got something really special planned for us. I've been going through the archives and found some old Q&A episodes that I just had to bring back. Answering your questions is my absolute favorite part of my job, so get ready for a fun and informative show.
But before we dive into the Q&A session, I wanted to share some exciting news. I'll be hosting an all-new, live Q&A session in November, exclusively for those on my email list. If you're not on it yet, head over to https://getyourgoal.com/list/ and sign up.
Now, let's talk about sleep. I received a few questions about how much sleep is recommended for weight loss, and it's such an interesting topic. Personally, I've noticed that my sleep needs have changed over the years. I used to be able to function on less sleep when I was younger, but now, I really struggle with anything less than 8 hours.
However, the amount of sleep you need is personal and can vary from person to person. It's not just about the number of hours in bed, but also the quality of sleep you're getting.
If you're someone who struggles with insomnia or racing thoughts at night, like my friend Heather, it might be helpful to plan for more time in bed to ensure you get enough sleep. Also, journaling before sleep can be a game-changer for calming your mind. I personally like to write down my thoughts and remind myself that they're just thoughts, not facts. It really helps me be more of a compassionate observer of my own mind.
Stay tuned for more exciting content and don't forget to join my email list for the exclusive live Q&A session in November. Until next time, happy sleeping!

Ep. 308: 6 Things I've Learned About Weight Loss Oct 08, 2023

Let’s celebrate SIX YEARS of the Get Your GOAL (formerly Fitness Matters and formerly formerly Let’s RUN) podcast with a list of six things I’ve learned about weight loss.
I’ve been a fitness professional for almost a dozen years now, so you might think I already had it all figured out when I started this podcast on October 3, 2017.
Nope.
Back then, I was just a young 47-year old who had barely entered perimenopause and was still running ultramarathons for fun. My, how the years (and helping thousands of women over 50 lose weight!) have changed my weight loss philosophy.
SIX THINGS I'VE LEARNED ABOUT WEIGHT LOSS:
- Exercise doesn’t make you lose weight
- Your body has a lot of information, but you might not be listening
- You can eat what you want without feeling guilty
- It takes as long as it takes
- Un-remembering old mottos is tough
- Your body only goes where your mind goes first
Join me for a fun look back at six years of podcasting, and a practical look forward to YOUR weight loss journey!

Ep. 307: 100% Consistency Oct 01, 2023

You know you need to be consistent with your weight loss habits, but it feels so HARD. How can you get consistent, and exactly how consistent do you really need to be? In this episode of the Get Your GOAL podcast, we’re diving deep into the topic of consistency so YOU can lose all the weight you want and keep it off forever.
In The 5-0 Method, I explain the five daily tasks that create weight loss:
Managing your mind
Eating the right number of calories
Drinking the right amount of water
Getting adequate sleep
Exercising moderately
And my standard for each of these five tasks is that you hit all five of them with 100% consistency, every single day. Because the science is incredibly clear – weight loss is driven by 1.) believing that you can 2.) eating in a slight caloric deficit over time, and 3.) 4.) and 5.) supporting your metabolism while your body is doing the difficult job of converting fat into energy.
Hitting each of these tasks at 100% consistency *will* produce weight loss.
But the way you’ve probably tried to come at this is with willpower: you’ve simply demanded of yourself that you do these things. You’ve gritted your teeth, you’ve put your nose to the grindstone, you’ve clamped a lid on yourself, or restricted yourself.
What I want to offer you today is a way of thinking about, and achieving, 100% consistency that will guarantee not just your weight loss success, but your maintenance success, too.
WHAT YOU'LL LEARN :
- WHY building belief is so important on your weight loss journey
- The DIFFERENCE between belief and willpower, and
- Exactly HOW to build belief, step by step

Ep. 306: Are You Doing Too Much? Sep 24, 2023

If you’re having trouble losing weight, taking a look at how much you’re working out is one of the first places you can troubleshoot. Menopausal women have different exercise and recovery needs than younger women, and – believe it or not – too much exercise can actually lead to weight GAIN over 50.
On this episode of the Get Your GOAL podcast, we’re exploring how much is too much.
Overexercise isn’t always the problem, but it’s a far more common issue than the internet would lead you to believe. And it’s particularly problematic for menopausal women, because we recover so differently than we used to.
We live in a society that values hard work, doing more, pushing yourself to extremes, and being the best. And I don’t argue with those values, exactly – but I do want you to understand the nuances of how to incorporate those ideals into your menopausal life. Especially as you’re losing weight.
WHAT YOU'LL LEARN:
-How to know when you’re doing too much (including the signs and symptoms you’ve been ignoring)
-Why you find yourself continuing to do what you’ve always done (even when you’re not getting the results you want)
-The step-by-step process for finding your balance and losing weight with ease (instead of willpower)
If you’re ready to get to your goal weight without pushing yourself to extremes, this episode of the Get Your GOAL podcast is for you!

Ep. 305: How to Count the Calories in Your Homemade Meals Sep 17, 2023

You’ve really got this calorie counting thing down pat when it comes to simple foods or eating in restaurants that list their calories. But what about when you cook at home? How do you figure out the calories in your favorite dishes when you’re just throwing things together?
In this episode of the Get Your GOAL podcast, I’ll show you how to count the calories in your homemade meals with a simple, step-by-step process.
Imagine never being afraid of going out to eat, or going to a friend’s house, or going on vacation, ever again. Picture yourself confidently portioning out every meal, every time, to fit your calorie target without second-guessing yourself.
This can be you because it’s just a skill to count calories, which means that you can learn how.
Right now, your brain is making excuses to stop you from counting all of your calories (which is completely normal, and exactly how your brain is supposed to work). But when you execute this simple process, and practice it regularly, you’ll realize that there are NO calories that you can’t figure out.
WHAT YOU'LL LEARN:
- HOW to calculate the calories for any recipe
- WHY it’s so hard to make yourself do this, and
- HOW to overcome your resistance

Ep. 299: Answering Your Weight Loss Questions Aug 06, 2023

You have questions about weight loss over 50, and I have the answers! In this episode of the Get Your GOAL podcast, we’re digging in on calculating your calories, intuitive eating, getting off track, and more.
Losing weight during and after menopause is different, and if you’re like the thousands of women I’ve helped to lose weight, you have questions about what’s changed and what works now. So, let’s dive in!
Lucy: What’s the timeline for seeing results? My body is in early menopause and really not responding to my efforts in the same way as it has in the past.
Lisa: What should you do when you stall? How do you figure out why you’re stalling?
Jeni: I'm curious what you think and know about intuitive eating.
Cathy: How do people successfully count calories (mine is 1670 daily from your 5-0 method) without spending money or taking lots of time?
Erika: How to negotiate calories when having friends over once a week or fortnight. We’re non drinkers. My calories go way over and I get out of routine real quick! Is it portion control and learning to say no that needs addressing?
Meredith: I would really like to understand how to eat at a slight caloric deficit. How do I figure out all the numbers? How do I control portion sizes more effectively?
Many thanks to the lovely Bs who responded to my recent survey with these great questions – I hope the answers are helpful to YOU.

Ep. 298: Why You Get Off Track (and What To Do About It) Jul 30, 2023

Today, we're diving into a topic that I see popping up all over the place—getting off track in your weight loss journey. It's a common experience that so many of us go through, and in this episode of the Get Your GOAL podcast, I've got the answers for why you get off track and what you can do about it!
Let's talk about something so many of us experience on our weight loss journeys—getting off track. Whether you're just starting out or you've been at it for a while, it happens to the best of us. But here's the good news: it's completely solvable!
The root of getting off track lies in your subconscious thoughts that create feelings you'd rather avoid.
Here's the key: observe what's going on without judgment. Be kind to yourself and remember that it's all part of being human. Remove the label of "off track" and embrace the opportunity for growth.
When you’re ready for a more advanced mindset strategy, here it is: after you’ve found the subconscious thought that creates the uncomfortable feeling, you simply FEEL the feeling, without doing anything else about it.
As you practice observation without judgment and embrace the uncomfortable feelings, you'll find yourself more willing and capable of staying on track. Truly, there's no such thing as "off track." Every experience is an opportunity to learn and grow, and you have the power to navigate through this and keep moving forward!

Ep. 297: Your Mindset Isn't Bad Jul 23, 2023

When you start journaling for weight loss with the Two-Step Tool, it’s kind of shocking how many unhelpful thoughts you have, isn’t it? My friend, you’re not alone and your mindset isn’t bad. On this episode of the Get Your GOAL podcast, I’m sharing some inspiration to help you keep going when negativity threatens to bring you down.
The first time (or the first couple of times) you sit down to journal, you really don’t expect to hear anything too bad. But then you start writing and all of a sudden, it seems like everything in your head is negative!
Finding negativity and unhelpful thoughts while you journal is completely normal, and doesn’t mean anything about you. Your thoughts are simply a product of your experiences and social conditioning – they’re electrical impulses in your brain, not indications of your worth or your character.
But the discovery of these unhelpful thoughts can really throw you for a loop, and you might start to wonder…is your mindset BAD? Definitely not, and finding your unhelpful thoughts presents an opportunity for growth and transformation. By acknowledging and accepting them, you create space to replace them with more supportive and empowering ones. Remember, you don't have to force yourself to think positive thoughts! Your mindset will naturally move toward a healthy balance simply by uncovering and observing what you’re already thinking. And this episode of the Get Your GOAL podcast will help you make sense of the good and the bad of your weight loss mindset journey.

Ep. 296: Why You Overindulge (and What To Do Instead) Jul 16, 2023

It happens to all of us: you go out with friends or family and fully intend to stay within your calorie target and stay on track for weight loss, but you find yourself overindulging. It seems like this behavior is beyond your control, but in this episode of the Get Your GOAL podcast, I’m sharing the real reason you overindulge and offer a solution for what you can do instead.
My friend, food is not just fuel – we’ve all been socialized to associate it with feelings of love, comfort, and pleasure. Overindulgence occurs in social situations or special occasions, and is driven by a desire to feel loved and connected.
But here's the thing: no amount of food or drink can truly fill the void. The only person who can fill it is you. By investing in yourself and cultivating feelings of love, joy, and celebration from within, you can break the cycle of overindulgence.
So, instead of viewing indulgence as a negative or self-sabotaging act, think of it as an investment in your relationships, pleasure, and self-worth. You deserve pleasure, joy, and connection. By investing in yourself, you'll find a healthier balance and a more sustainable approach to indulgence.

Ep. 295: Are You Too Old to Lose Weight? Jul 09, 2023

Weight loss has gotten so much harder in your 50s (and beyond), hasn’t it? You’ve started thinking that maybe you’re just too old to lose weight. But in this episode of the Get Your GOAL podcast, we’re kicking that thought to the curb and exploring both the science and the mindset of losing weight at any age.
You, my friend, are NOT too old to lose weight. Regardless of your age, your gender, or your life circumstances, weight loss is driven by two essential factors: believing that you can, and eating in a slight caloric deficit.
For the belief piece, I like to rely on science and “stack” my belief in myself on top. Meaning, you can believe that you personally are capable of losing weight because you are a biological specimen that always responds to certain principles.
So, why does it feel so much harder to lose weight than it used to?
Because when you were younger, you could get away with drastic calorie restriction, but now you need to be more strategic and efficient in your behaviors. Eating in a *slight* caloric deficit is key, instead of the extreme measures you’re used to.
No matter your age, it's time to rewrite the narrative and approach weight loss with confidence, knowing that science (and the Get Your GOAL podcast!) is on your side.

Ep. 294: The Three Stages of Weight Loss Jul 02, 2023

Every weight loss journey is unique, but you will also inevitably come across three universal “pit stops” along your way. On this episode of the Get Your GOAL podcast, we’re chatting about the three stages of weight loss, so you can navigate the road with ease.
When you set out to achieve a weight loss goal, it can feel like you’re traveling alone and you might even wonder if you’re the only one who feels confused or overwhelmed or stuck.
But you’re definitely not alone.
Over the years of working with thousands of women losing weight, I’ve identified three distinct stages of the weight loss journey that everybody goes through: the first five pounds, which are swirling with indecision; the “messy middle,” which challenges your patience and fortitude; and the last five pounds, where so many women are tempted to quit right before they reach the finish line.
When you know what to expect along the way, this weight loss journey won’t feel so treacherous – embrace your journey, celebrate your milestones, and bask in the certainty of your inevitable success. Join me for this week’s episode, and let’s go!

Ep. 293: Nights and Weekends Jun 25, 2023

You’re good all day (or all week), but when seven o’clock rolls around, you can’t stop munching. How can you be consistent on nights and weekends, so you can lose all the weight you want? Like THIS.
On this week’s episode of the Get Your GOAL podcast we're tackling a common struggle – staying consistent with your calories on nights and weekends.
The answer? Lose the weight in a way that’s ultimately sustainable for maintenance.
This means no more restriction, no more “diet mentality,” no more beating yourself up or making excuses. This means loving yourself while you’re losing weight (not just when you get to your goal).
WHAT YOU'LL LEARN:
- Why “thinking positively” isn’t the answer (it never is)
- How to find the right balance for YOU
- How journaling gets to the root of the issue
- What self awareness *really* looks (and sounds) like

Ep. 292: Why Bother? Jun 18, 2023

Today's topic, "Why bother?" is a seemingly rhetorical question you’ve likely asked yourself on your weight loss journey. But in this episode of the Get Your GOAL podcast, we’re answering it and using the information to move forward!
You’ve faced moments of doubt and frustration on your weight loss journey. But you have the power to overcome them using the Two-Step Tool, and the simple process I’m outlining for you here:

Restate the question in a negative declarative form.
Listen to the reasons that arise in your mind.
Recognize them as thoughts, not truths.
Assess the helpfulness of these thoughts by paying attention to how they make you feel.
Label the unhelpful thoughts.
Restate the question in a positive declarative form and listen for the answers in your head.
Again, assess the helpfulness of these thoughts by how they feel.

By recognizing and choosing supportive thoughts, you can overcome the "why bother?" mindset and get your weight loss goal.

Ep. 291: MVP -- Making Mistakes Jun 11, 2023

When you’re plagued with indecision because you fear making a mistake, there’s one clear path forward: make mistakes anyway. This MVP episode of the Get Your GOAL podcast will show you how and why making mistakes is the fastest and best way to get your goal.
It can feel pretty overwhelming, for those of you who are new to the podcast, to try and sort through two hundred and ninety-one older episodes. So, occasionally, I’ll be sharing some of the most valuable older episodes, with an introduction like this one, which sets you up for why the message is still relevant and helpful today.
This episode, about making mistakes, has two key takeaways:
-First, that perfectionism slows you down
-And second, that being willing to make mistakes will take you everywhere you want to go
And the best evidence for this argument can be had just by listening to this three-and-a-half year old podcast! You can hear how far I’ve come, and how much clearer my message is, and how much I’ve changed and grown as a podcaster, all because I was willing to make mistakes and not wait until I could put out some perfectly polished podcast. Because if that was the case, we’d all still be waiting!

Ep. 290: Learning to Lose Weight Jun 04, 2023

Whether you think you already know how to lose weight, or think you don’t, I have a powerful mindset shift to share in this episode of the Get Your GOAL podcast that will teach you everything you need to know about losing weight!
On the one hand, if you’re telling yourself that you already know how to lose weight, it sounds like a good thing, right? Like, you know about how menopause has changed weight loss, and you understand the science of how eating in a slight caloric deficit over time is the way your body releases weight, and you know the five tasks to do every day. This is all really good stuff!
But, also… here you are, getting the five tasks done, but not actually losing any weight.
And on the other hand, if you’re telling yourself that you don’t know how to lose weight, you’re probably feeling a lot of confusion or overwhelm or doubt. And you might be asking a lot of questions without really implementing any of the answers, because you sort of think that that must not be it.
So… you’re not really losing weight, either.
In both cases, there’s a simple shift you can make RIGHT NOW that will accelerate your results and get you where you want to go.

Hey friend! I'm Pahla B, host of the Get Your GOAL podcast and holistic (mind+body) weight loss coach. I help ambitious women over 50 like you ditch your dieting mindset, so you can finally lose weight for the last time.

Ep. 289: Easy Weight Loss May 28, 2023

Everybody wants weight loss to be easy, right? But also, you value hard work and want to be proud of your efforts. On this episode of the Get Your GOAL podcast, we’re exploring how to get the best of both worlds while you’re losing weight.
On the one hand, you definitely want things to feel easy. Easy is pleasurable, it’s what your brain craves, and it requires virtually nothing from you. So nice, right?
On the other hand, though, you’ve been socialized to value hard work, and truly believe that nothing good comes without it. Weight loss actually has to be hard to be worthwhile, doesn’t it?
Navigating these opposing ideals is tough, and can stop your weight loss in its tracks.
So, on this week’s episode of the Get Your GOAL podcast, we’re finding the middle ground, evaluating the thoughts we have about easy weight loss and hard work, and managing our mindset to get where we want to go.
WHAT YOU'LL LEARN:
-Why you don’t REALLY want weight loss to be easy
-Why you don’t REALLY want to work hard, either
-A better way of THINKING about your weight loss journey (that gets results!)
Working with your brain to create a weight loss mindset is all part of getting your GOAL, and this episode of the podcast has actionable steps that can help.

Ep. 288: When to Adjust Your Calories May 21, 2023

Depending on how much weight you want to lose, you might need to adjust your calories while on your weight loss journey. On this episode of the Get Your GOAL podcast, I’m teaching you when, why, and how to make those adjustments.
My rule of thumb is that there are two times during weight loss when you might want or need to adjust your calories – at the beginning of your journey when you’re learning to be consistent, and after you’ve lost about 40 pounds (or your weight loss has stopped for more than four weeks).
Not everybody needs to make adjustments, but if you do, here are some key points to keep in mind:
-First and foremost, it’s OKAY to adjust your calories. You are an experiment of one, and you can do anything.
-Be sure to take your time adjusting, and spend at least a month gathering data before you make changes.
-Know that the data you’re gathering ISN’T from the scale, it’s from your body’s signals and what your brain offers you in your journal. (This blows your mind, doesn’t it?)
-And finally, make your adjustments based on whether or not you can eat your target calories consistently, not on whether or not you think it’ll “make you lose weight.” Calories don’t make you lose weight, consistency does.
When you’re empowered to make your weight loss journey your own, and understand how and why to adjust your calories – you’re unstoppable!

Ep. 287: Journal Prompts May 14, 2023

Daily journaling is the most useful tool in your weight loss toolkit. And on this week’s episode of the Get Your GOAL podcast, I’m sharing my best tips with you, so you can feel like a journaling pro and get the most out of it.
Each day with The 5-0 Method, we do five tasks that make you say, “Oh! I had no idea weight loss at my age could be so simple.” And the number one task is to manage your mindset, by finding your thoughts and deciding if they’re helpful.
So many women are on board with four of the five tasks – because water, sleep, eating, and exercise seem more “weight lossy” than journaling, don’t they? But in my experience, it’s the mindset work that makes the difference between long term success versus those who struggle or give up.

MY FIVE BEST JOURNALING TIPS:
1. Know WHY you’re journaling
2. Keep your journal prompt question simple and direct
3. Start your question with “What do I think about …?”
4. Stick to one topic
5. Quit while you’re ahead

I’ve been studying weight loss for over ten years and really paying attention to the questions you have – especially when you first get started on your journey. It feels difficult to navigate all your choices, and unbelievable that others have had success with such a counterintuitive plan.
You want to get everything right, so you can stop gaining this menopausal weight and start losing. But it’s confusing to figure out what to do or where to go for credible information.
The wonderful truth of it all is that even the most complex questions have a simple answer.
On today’s empowering episode of the Get Your GOAL podcast, we’re exploring calorie apps, chatting about whether or not to eat junk food, and deciding what to count as water, with science-based answers and the mindset shifts that will help you move forward with confidence.

Ep. 285: Weighing Yourself Apr 30, 2023

Weighing yourself can feel calm and easy. In this episode of the Get Your GOAL podcast, I’m sharing the simple process that will change your relationship with the scale.
You’re on board with the idea of how mindset work or journaling *might* be helpful for losing weight. But weighing yourself? It’s hard, it feels terrible, and if you could just throw away your scale, you definitely would.
I hear from clients all the time that they hate to weigh themselves because the daily fluctuations drive them crazy, or they feel like the numbers just mess with their heads. You feel really good about your eating and exercising and water and sleep, but then you get on the scale and your weight is up, or it’s still the same, and all of a sudden it’s like everything you’ve been doing is all for nothing.
If this is you, you’re in the right place. Today, we’re taking a deep dive into the topic of WEIGHING YOURSELF, and I’m sharing exactly how to make peace with the scale once and for all.
WHAT YOU'LL LEARN:
- WHY weighing yourself feels awful
- HOW your brain sees the number on the scale, and
- WHAT to do right now to feel better about weighing yourself

Ep. 284: Loving My Menopausal Body Apr 23, 2023

The idea of loving your menopausal body sounds so nice. But what are the actual steps? How do you DO that? I’ve got the scoop in this week’s episode of the Get Your GOAL podcast!
Loving your menopausal body is a feeling that’s available to you – even if right now you think you hate your body, or it’s betrayed you, or you just don’t understand it anymore. You CAN love your body, and I highly encourage you to do so.
When menopause came knocking at my door, it changed everything I thought I knew about myself. But instead of getting stuck in the anger, frustration, and betrayal of those changes, I decided to change my MIND.
Join me today as I share the story of my menopause (and grief, and aging) journey, and what it’s meant to my relationship with my body.
WHAT YOU'LL LEARN:
- How I knew I WASN’T loving myself (I honestly hadn’t realized I wasn’t)
- How MENOPAUSE wasn’t really the problem (of course it was my thoughts!)
- Why it wasn’t about my WEIGHT or what I can DO, either
- The EXACT STEPS I’ve taken to feel loving toward my body (that you can take, too)
Are you ready to start loving your menopausal body? This week’s episode of the Get Your GOAL podcast will show you how!

Ep. 283: Belief Apr 16, 2023

Your body will only go where your brain goes first. Which means that successful weight loss begins with the belief that you can lose weight.
On a scale of one to ten, how much do you currently believe that you can get to your goal weight? Zero? This could be what’s stopping you from getting your goal.
In this week’s short, sweet and inspirational episode of the Get Your GOAL podcast, we’re diving into the concept of BELIEF and why it’s so important in reaching your goal. I’m sharing personal stories of how I overcame my own lack of belief and how you can borrow belief from outside of you, too.
WHAT YOU'LL LEARN:
- Why belief is the “secret sauce” to getting your goal
- How to cultivate belief in yourself
- Where you can get belief (for free!)

Ep. 282: What To Eat For Weight Loss Apr 09, 2023

Losing weight with The 5-0 Method means you’re focused on eating the right number of calories every day – because staying in a slight caloric deficit over time is the only scientifically proven way to shed pounds. But WHAT should you eat? Do you need to go low carb, or eat in an 8-hour window, or find low calorie substitutes for your favorite foods?
No, no, and no. In fact, your best bet is to eat the foods you already love, in portion sizes to fit your weight loss calorie target.
But how can that be? Don’t you have to eat healthy for your health? And hasn’t that whole “calories in, calories out” myth been debunked?
Yes and yes. 🙂And also… eating for weight loss is more nuanced than a catchy sound bite can capture. In this week’s episode of the Get Your GOAL podcast, we’re taking a deep dive into the topic of what to eat for weight loss, while taking the long view of the lasting changes you can make in your life to maintain your weight forever.
WHAT YOU'LL LEARN:
- The easiest MINDSET HACK to change old habits
- Why healthy eating DOESN’T work for weight loss
- How restricting yourself ALWAYS backfires
Join me for this week’s episode of the Get Your GOAL podcast and empower yourself to make simple, sustainable changes that will help you reach your goal weight.

Ep. 281: How to Get Any GOAL (Not Just Weight Loss!) Apr 02, 2023

Most of us think getting to our goal will be just a straight line to success, and when things get tough, we just give up. But that doesn’t have to be your story.

Ep. 280: When Weight Loss is SLOW Mar 26, 2023

Slow weight loss is frustrating, isn’t it? Even when you’re faithfully putting in the work with The 5-0 Method, you might still be losing weight slower than you want to, and you’re just so… over it.
But what if slow weight loss isn’t the problem that you think it is? What if there’s a simpler answer than just trying to work harder?
Because there is: in this week’s episode of the Get Your GOAL podcast, I’m covering the science of how fast or slow you can reasonably expect to lose weight at our age (and why), plus the mindset shift you can access TODAY to get the scale moving faster.
WHAT YOU'LL LEARN:
- Why SLOW weight loss isn’t really a problem
- The REAL issue that’s slowing you down, and
- The ONE EASY TIP that can get the scale moving faster

Ep. 279: Are You Losing Fitness? Mar 19, 2023

You used to be able to go hiking or running for hours on end, lift super heavy weights, and still have the stamina to live your life. But now that you’re exercising moderately – I mean, twenty-three minutes a day, are you kidding me? – to lose weight, you MUST be losing fitness. Right?
Not right.
My friend, on this week’s episode of the Get Your GOAL podcast, we’re exploring the science of menopause and aging and how it affects your fitness, chatting about how your body makes exercise adaptations at any age, and easing your fears about losing fitness while you lose weight. I’ve got the facts about your body, and together we’ll manage your mindset!
WHAT YOU'LL LEARN:
- Why you’re ALWAYS both gaining *and* losing fitness
- The REAL problem with moderate exercise, and
- How to STOP sabotaging yourself with worry and lose weight for the last time
Your beautiful, amazing, miraculous body always wants to keep up with what you are doing right now. Your brain, on the other hand, always wants to think about what it used to do.

That FEELING drives ACTIONS, and
Those ACTIONS get you a RESULT that is a direct reflection of your original THOUGHT
Understanding this concept is foundational for any mindset work you do, and truly is THE THING that helps you create change in your life!

Ep. 274: How to Have More Self Discipline Feb 12, 2023

People with self discipline don’t seem to have any trouble losing weight, do they? They get up early to workout, they never have trouble with snacking, they drink their water, and get plenty of sleep every night. You know that if you had that kind of self discipline, you’d be losing weight easily, too – but you’re struggling with having *any* self discipline right now. How in the world can you get MORE?
You can (and I’ll tell you how). But also… you might not even need self discipline AT ALL.
Join me on this week’s episode of the Get Your GOAL podcast, where I’m clapping back at the notion of needing more self discipline and offering up a kinder, gentler way to lose weight instead.
WHAT YOU'LL LEARN:
What self discipline IS
What self discipline and is NOT, and
Why self discipline could actually be HOLDING YOU BACK from achieving your weight loss goals
My friend, if there’s one thing to take away from this episode it’s this: you have the ability, the tools, and the power to make self discipline work for YOU, no matter how much of it you currently have.

Ep. 272: Gaining it All Back Jan 29, 2023

Losing weight to only gain it right back has got to be one of the hardest parts of a weight loss journey, am I right? It can make you fearful of taking a vacation (what if I gain the 10 pounds back again?), or red with anger when the scale is fluctuating (why can’t the weight just stay off?), or resigned to not staying at your goal once you get there (why bother if I’m just going to put it back on?).
But what does gaining weight really mean? Is the higher number you see on the scale truly a bad thing? In this week’s episode of the Get Your GOAL podcast, I’m sharing my personal weight loss and gain (and loss and gain and loss and gain!) story, dispelling some common fears and anxieties that clients have about weight gain, and offering actionable advice about how to move forward with your weight loss, even if you gain.

Ep. 75: BONUS! Get Your GOAL Conversations May 02, 2021

There’s a treat for you in this BONUS episode of the Fitness Matters podcast, where we’re talking about buts, parentheses, and changing tenses (and don’t worry if that doesn’t make sense to you right now, it will when you listen)!
My friend, if you’ve ever said something like “I overate, but I’m not going to beat myself up about it” and then still didn’t feel good? This episode is for YOU!
We’re cleaning out our mental junk drawers and exploring how to recognize language that holds EMOTIONAL WEIGHT and may be holding us back from getting the outcomes we want.
I talk about falls (both literally and figuratively!), guilt (why do we have it?), and the words we use to talk to ourselves. When we investigate the NUANCES IN OUR SELF-TALK, it can put us on a different path to creating better results in our lives.

Do you wanna know why WEIGHT LOSS is hard? I’m spilling the beans today, and it probably won’t surprise you to hear that YOUR THOUGHTS have something to do with it.
In today’s episode of the Fitness Matters podcast, we’re chatting about why weight loss is a particularly interesting MINDSET MATTER and how you can approach your thoughts in a more helpful way.

What kind of RESULTS are you getting in your life? Have you ever considered that you’re always getting results?
Maybe they’re not the ones you want, but results are all around us!
Today, we’re examining the topic of results - the good, the bad, and everything in between. From daily walks to haircuts to what you see when you look in the mirror, we’re talking about the POWER you hold within you - and how you can harness that power to create DIFFERENT RESULTS if you want to.

Ep. 66: What You SHOULD Do Feb 28, 2021

Have you ever noticed how many times you use the word “should” in your everyday life, especially when talking about yourself? “I SHOULD sleep more. I SHOULD have reached my goal weight by now. I SHOULD be more active.” It can sound like a broken record! And the worst part is the end result: We often “should” ourselves into not getting the OUTCOMES we want.
In today’s episode of the Fitness Matters podcast we’re talking about this POWERFUL word and the FEELINGS and RESULTS it can create in our lives. Many times, using this term day after day can generate frustration, regret, guilt, or sadness. And we often use the expression without even thinking.
But how can we change a HABIT that’s become second nature to us? I’m digging in and talking specifically about weight loss as an example, but rest assured that this conversation is applicable to almost ANY SITUATION! If you find yourself pressured by all the “shoulds” you’ve allowed into your life and want to create a BETTER way of feeling, listen now!

Ep. 65: BAD DAY Feb 21, 2021

BAD DAYS. Yep, we’ve all had ‘em. The anger, frustration, and other feelings we experience when we think things aren’t going our way. And the helplessness that puts a metaphorical cloud over our heads.
But what if I told you that managing bad days can actually result in a DEEPER and more SATISFYING LIFE? And that you can make this happen yourself with just a little practice?
In today’s episode of the Fitness Matters podcast, I’m diving into what it means to have a BAD DAY and sharing an experience from my own life. When you’re having a bad day, do you ever think: “What is WRONG with me?” When I asked myself this exact question, lots of things came up, including something that WOKE ME UP to a new way of thinking.
We’re picking apart this example, and I’m showing you that silver-lining thinking might seem helpful, but THIS alternative leads to a deeper understanding and appreciation of your experience.
Join me now in this enlightening podcast that will change the way you approach “bad days” and give you the tools you need to move forward with any kind of day!

Ep. 64: Scale FEELINGS Feb 14, 2021

On a scale from one to 10, how would rate your feelings about your ... ahem ... scale? When you step on it, what goes through your mind as you await the number on the screen?
In today’s episode of the Fitness Matters podcast, we’re diving into the topic of the FEELINGS you have about the scale and how that inanimate object seems like it causes them (it doesn’t, but I’ll tell you what does). Why does it matter?
Because your feelings can drive indecision on how to move forward or - worse yet - negative results with your WEIGHT LOSS goal.
I’m sharing a magic trick you can use RIGHT NOW to take the power away from your scale and put it back in your own hands. We’re going to “weigh our options” (sorry, I couldn’t resist) on how to approach the scale, and I’m giving you a challenge that won’t weigh you down (yep, I did it again). Join me now to FEEL BETTER about the scale!

Ep. 63: How To LOVE YOURSELF Feb 07, 2021

Where are you in your journey of self-love? This is the question we’re asking ourselves in today’s episode of the Fitness Matters podcast.
To be honest, I used to not really think about this topic. Or when I did, I used an archaic four-step process to gauge how I felt. But in time, I discovered that this process was actually pushing me in the opposite direction of where I wanted to go. Do you sometimes feel that SELF-LOVE is out of your reach too?
Today we’re chatting about how to LOVE YOURSELF, and there are plenty of real life examples, including lessons I’ve learned from training my dog Blossom and the time I crab-crawled down a steep hill (these stories are more related than you think!).
Are there things about yourself that you see as unlovable? If so, today’s conversation may be just what you need to TURN THINGS AROUND. After all, your relationship with yourself serves as the foundation to your relationship with the world at large - and ultimately the RESULTS you get in it.
Join me now, and let’s talk about SELF-LOVE.

Ep. 62: CHANGE Jan 31, 2021

CHANGE: it can be a tricky thing. I often say, “If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it,” but so often our brains offer us that we need to change. So… how can you CHANGE, while still doing the same (right) things?
In today’s episode of the Fitness Matters podcast, we’re talking about CHANGE and how putting your brain in a position of power makes it easier to get your GOALS. I’m covering what I call the Three Cs of CHANGE, and revealing what happened to me when I started using them.
Embracing this concept can lead to ideas and action items instead of self-judgement, and asking yourself the right questions can promote GROWTH instead of negativity.
In short, when you put the Three Cs of CHANGE into place, magic happens!
Are you happy with the RESULTS you’re getting in the world? Does the thought of CHANGE make you want to crawl back into bed and hide? If so, this podcast is for you! Listen now and find out how freeing up your mind in a positive way can lead to wonderful things!

Ep. 61: Embracing NEGATIVITY Jan 24, 2021

Do you have negative thoughts that keep you from getting WHAT YOU REALLY WANT? And do those thoughts often feel painful, believable, and seem to have some kind of power over you?
I used to be in your exact shoes, but now I’ve learned how to realize the sheer “positivity” of “negativity” (🢤 you read that right!), and I’m actually embracing those negative thoughts and getting the results I want.
The truth is, our crafty brains can cause all kinds of mental obstacles when it comes to GETTING WHAT WE WANT. Eliminating negativity completely - which initially sounds like a great idea - isn’t realistic or effective.
In this week’s episode of the Fitness Matters podcast, we’re chatting about how you can absolutely change your relationship with things you consider to be hurdles. And you can apply this process to FITNESS, WEIGHT LOSS, or anything else you’re dealing with in your life!
I explain the three steps to making sure all of our thoughts work FOR US and what happens when we actually embrace negativity! Join me now and start getting power over your negative thoughts!

Ep. 60: What If Nothing's WRONG? Jan 17, 2021

WHAT IF NOTHING’S WRONG?
It’s the beginning of a new year, and many of us are motivated by what is possible in the coming months. SETTING A GOAL is downright exciting! But what may be challenging is figuring out how to get there.
In today’s podcast, we’re chatting about the art of starting where we are RIGHT NOW. But what if you perceive a problem with your status quo? Can that affect your feelings of worthiness and value? Can a perceived problem actually keep you from GETTING YOUR GOAL?
I’m covering this FASCINATING TOPIC today and inviting you to take a second look at those perceived (👈 this is the key word!) closed doors in your life and take steps to gently open them.
A world of possibilities awaits!
Join me now and discover how different your life can be when you take the pressure off yourself and learn to reframe your thoughts about what is “wrong.” It’s easier than you think!

Ep. 59: Planning For SUCCESS Jan 10, 2021

In today’s episode of the Fitness Matters podcast we’re chatting about PLANNING FOR SUCCESS - and it may not go down the way you expect! With 2021 now firmly begun (Happy New Year!), you may have set some resolutions or goals for the coming year. But have you considered how you plan to GET TO THE FINISH LINE in the next 12 months?
I’m laying out the mindset work and practical steps you can absolutely take that will LEAD YOU TO YOUR GOAL!
I know what you’re probably asking yourself right now (because I’ve been there myself!):
What if “LIFE HAPPENS” and I can’t stick to my original plan?
What if I tell myself that I can’t do the plan today, but I’ll JUMP BACK IN tomorrow?
What if I FAIL?
I’m going to answer those questions with a question of my own: Is there more than one way to SUCCEED? (Spoiler alert: There is.)

Ep. 58: 2021, Part II: Time-Bound RESOLUTIONS Jan 03, 2021

It’s that time again -- NEW YEAR’S RESOLUTIONS!
In last week’s podcast, we talked about goal-setting and how it gives us a foundation to be SUCCESSFUL. Today, we’re building on that topic and homing in on TIME-BOUND RESOLUTIONS, which are a totally different animal.
I’m chatting about my own GOAL-SETTING journey (it’s still a work in progress!) and the things I’ve learned that you can absolutely incorporate into your own life. This episode is one part practical advice and several parts storytime, as I take you in the “way back machine” and share stories of 2009 Pahla (who endured an epic personal fail on a couple of levels) and 2015 Pahla (who at one point was angry, crying, and totally doubting herself after missing a goal).
But 2021 Pahla? She’s moving forward, learning, and reaching for much bigger targets. And YOU CAN TOO!
Today, you’ll learn:
The TWO DISTINCT SKILLS that make time-bound goals attainable
What you have to be WILLING TO FEEL while you are learning to reach time-bound goals, and
The chain of events that leads to SUCCESS
My friends, as 2020 turns to 2021, we can absolutely forge a NEW WAY FORWARD and make things happen in a “timely” manner! Listen now!

Ep. 55: Getting Things DONE Dec 13, 2020

Do you struggle with GETTING THINGS DONE?
Most of us do at one point or another (I’m raising my hand here)!
And pretty often, we start to focus on DOING the actions on our to-do list, because of course that’s how to get things done, right? Nope!
What we THINK actually creates WHAT WE GET in the world.
Today’s episode of the Fitness Matters podcast focuses on the importance of recognizing what we’re THINKING, and what that FEELS like.
We’ll touch on:
How to avoid “avoidance”
The logical part of our brain versus the “lizard” part
Things that we tell ourselves in an effort to get things done, but how those things may not get us the results we want

Ep. 42: Self DISCIPLINE Sep 13, 2020

Let’s talk about SELF DISCIPLINE, shall we? We shall. 😄 I have been called a disciplined person, but it’s not a label I’ve ever put on myself, so I started to think about WHY.
As I turned the topic around in my head (and looked up the definition to get some clarity), I realized that there are some misconceptions about what it means to have self discipline, and maybe even what the phrase itself means.
So, let’s dig in and uncover:
Why SELF DISCIPLINE isn’t just saying no to tempting things
How SELF DISCIPLINE isn’t sustainable over the long term, and
What you can do for yourself that’s even better than SELF DISCIPLINE

Ep. 41: Facing Your FEARS Sep 06, 2020

Yep, we’re diving into some feelings again this week with a close-up look at FEAR, and how you can face yours to get the goals you really want for yourself.
On the daily, I hear you:
“I’m afraid to step on the scale.”
“I’m afraid to eat that many calories.”
“I’m afraid to sign up for a 5k.”
“I’m afraid if I eat something sweet (or salty, or snacky, or whatever) that I won’t stop.”
“I’m afraid if I stop exercising for a day that I’ll never start up again.”
We are afraid of so many things that aren’t truly fearful.
So, let’s uncover
WHAT fear really is
WHY we feel it
HOW it’s not unlike other emotions
WHY we don’t actually want to stop feeling it
And - most importantly - HOW to face it and move through it
I’ve got straightforward advice and a VERY simple question to ask yourself that can help you face your FEARS.

Ep. 37: How To Stop SELF-LOATHING Aug 09, 2020

This one gets really DEEP really fast.
Today, we’re exploring the cycle of SELF-LOATHING, with a quick conversation about:
WHY we do it and why it’s a good idea to stop
WHAT self-loathing really is (it’s simpler than you realize!), and
HOW three easy words can change it all for you
I know it can feel overwhelming to try and stop the cycle of thoughts that’s bringing you down, but I’m here to offer some hope and practical advice from the other side.

Ep. 36: Other Peoples' OPINIONS Aug 02, 2020

There’s got to be a way to handle other peoples’ opinions, right? And I’m not talking about getting mad, walking away, crying, or feeling terrible about yourself. I mean really, truly *accepting* opinions that you don’t agree with.
Of course there’s a way to handle it, and of course that’s what we’re discussing on this week’s episode!
Along the way on your fitness journey (and my YouTube journey, which is where all my examples are gleaned), other people are going to express their OPINIONS of you, your body, your methods and your results. So let’s figure out how you want to THINK and FEEL about that right now.
I’ve got some practical advice, some anecdotes from my own life and lots of mental model theories for you to pack into your bag of tricks.

Ep. 35: COMMITMENT Jul 26, 2020

Let’s talk about COMMITMENT - why it’s good for you and your health and fitness goals, and why we’re all afraid of it! (Hint: it’s your brain being your brain, of course…)
I’ve got both practical advice and mental models for you to explore on your journey to commitment. And along the way, I’m sharing funny personal stories of my own commitments, or lack thereof.

Ep. 34: What You CONTROL Jul 19, 2020

As a natural-born CONTROL freak, this topic strikes near and dear to my heart. This week, we’re talking about what you CONTROL, and - maybe more importantly - what you DON’T control.
The almost painfully short list of what you DO control - your thoughts, your feelings, your actions and your results - might be things you’ve been tempted to relegate to other people, circumstances, things or situations.
And the long list of things you DON’T control - which mostly consists of other people and their thoughts, actions and feelings - are the ones it’s time to let go of.
My goal for you, armed with this information, is to feel AMAZING about your life, and empowered to take CONTROL.

Ep. 33: EMOTIONAL Eating Jul 12, 2020

We’re diving into EMOTIONAL eating today, and getting to the heart of WHY we do it, and how to MANAGE it so you can feel better.
First up, we’re talking about your BRAIN, of course, and why it does the silly (but biologically important!) things it does.
And then we’ll put together a super simple (but not easy) 3-step plan that you can use for EMOTIONAL eating, and so many other times in your life when you’d rather escape your feelings.

Ep. 32: How to CHANGE Jul 05, 2020

This is a big one. We’re talking about how to CHANGE, and that really covers it all:
Wanna change your body?
Your habits?
Your LIFE?
Then you need to know and understand THIS.
(And yes, I’m intentionally leaving it at that! There are no step-by-step instructions today, or practical advice - this episode is all about a single concept. And it’s probably the most important concept you’ll ever need, if you’re looking for CHANGE.)

Ep. 31: GOALS, Pt. 4: Achieving Your Wildest Dreams Jun 28, 2020

We made it! This is Part FOUR of the GOALS series, and it’s the most important one: what to do when you achieve your wildest dreams.
You think it’s all going to be puppies and rainbows on the other side of this GOAL work, don’t you? Well… I mean, there might be puppies and there might be rainbows, but also? There might be more mindset work to be done!
Today on the Fitness Matters podcast, we’re chatting about life after achieving your GOAL and I’m sharing how reaching a recent revenue goal made me… ANGRY?
Yep!
The phenomenon we’re discussing - cognitive dissonance - is the reason why some people gain back all the weight they lost, or run one race and then never again.
And if you don’t want that to be YOU, there’s a practical step you can take NOW to ensure your long-term success.

Ep. 30: GOALS, Pt. 3: Why We're AFRAID of Setting GOALS Jun 21, 2020

Are you afraid to set GOALS? You’re not alone, my friend, and that’s the topic of this week’s Fitness Matters podcast! (...and the last two weeks, and next week!)
If you’ve been struggling with setting a GOAL, there’s a pretty good chance you fall into one of two main camps:
😱 You’re afraid you WON’T get your goal, or
😱 You’re afraid you WILL
Crazy, right? But, yes, we can be afraid of just about anything. That’s the way our brains are designed! And once you realize this why this is and how to get around it, you’ll be unstoppable.
I have some ridiculously FUN and surprisingly practical advice for the ONE THING you need to do to overcome your fears.

Ep. 29: GOALS, Pt. 2: How to Set GOALS Jun 14, 2020

It’s Part TWO of the GOALS series, and I’m really excited about this one, because it’s nice and practical. There are five steps! And the steps are simple!
But they’re not easy. 😄
We’re not just setting a GOAL willy-nilly here. We’re setting a GOAL that you can actually *get.* And that means we’re diving into your brain with these five steps:
🤯 Have an idea
🤯 State it clearly
🤯 Put a number on it
🤯 Put a feeling on it, and
🤯 Figure out why you CAN’T have it
This is a POWERFUL process that’s going to make *getting* your goal feel like a cake-walk in comparison!
During our conversation today, I’m sharing stories from MY goal-setting experience to help you understand how messy and ultimately worthwhile these steps are.

Ep. 28: GOALS, Pt. 1: Why We Set GOALS Jun 07, 2020

Here we go! This is the first in a 4-part series about GOALS, and I am so excited to share this with you. Today we’re talking about WHY we (generally) set goals and why I think YOU (yes, you, personally) should set them for yourself.
This conversation is the foundation of everything you need to know about setting personal GOALS - WHY is it a good idea? And WHAT will setting goals do for you?
The first, and simplest, reason WHY you should set goals is just because you CAN. I mean this both philosophically and practically… as in, you are *capable* of setting goals. Don’t believe me? I’ll offer you some definitive proof, and make the case for stretching your goal-setting muscle onto something bigger and more interesting for yourself.
Find out how setting goals for yourself
✨ Makes you better at more than just the skills you’ll learn
✨ Is a lot like finding out that you’re Spiderman

Ep. 26: Learning to TRUST Yourself May 24, 2020

Learning to TRUST yourself is one of the kindest and most important things you can do in life in general, but also, specifically, on your way to meeting your fitness goals.
We all have areas in our lives where we don’t quiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiite trust ourselves to follow through, but there are actually some very simple steps you can take to rectify this!
On this week’s episode of the Fitness Matters podcast, we’re diving into what it takes to TRUST yourself, and why that includes:
Lowering your standards
Looking for “red cars,” and
Making a couple of difficult lists

Ep. 25: Defining Personal SUCCESS May 17, 2020

I think at this point, you know what a big fan I am of setting GOALS, right? But there’s a whole ‘nother layer of goals that we haven’t discussed, and that’s what we’re digging into with this week’s episode of the Fitness Matters podcast.
Have you ever wondered why you sometimes reach your goal, but don’t feel entirely satisfied with the way it turned out? It’s likely that you had a hidden definition of PERSONAL SUCCESS that you didn’t realize!
These sneaky thoughts have the power to derail your progress or leave you confused and unhappy, even when you’re making progress toward your goal.
So, let’s chat about what you can DO to feel successful when you reach your goal:
📌 Find the buried treasure (thought!)
📌 Decide what you want to think instead, and
📌 PRACTICE
No matter your goal or your definition of PERSONAL SUCCESS, you are in control of your results!

Ep. 24: The Big "BUT" May 10, 2020

There are some pretty obvious jokes about big “BUTs” on this one, but don’t let that distract you from how important this topic is!
The only thing I remember from college is this simple concept about language that I learned in Philosophy 101: Everything after the “but” is the true focus of the sentence.
And this applies to you SO much more than you think! Because you? Have some hidden “buts” in your life that are holding you back from getting what you want.
During this week’s episode of the Fitness Matters podcast, we’re exploring why the word BUT is so powerful, how it’s stopping you from being happy, and what you can do about it.
Because of course there’s a way around the BIG “BUT."

BONUS Episode: STRESS May 08, 2020

What, what? New podcast on a Friday? Yep, it’s a special BONUS episode, taken from a LIVE session in my Get Your GOAL Coaching + Accountability group.
We’re talking about STRESS today, and of course I’ve got some practical tips for working on the stress in your life, after we clarify one simple fact:
STRESS only ever comes from your THOUGHTS, and never from the events of the world around you.
It’s a game-changer, I know!
And that’s why we’re chatting about it.
We’ll also cover:
🤯 How to “boil down” your stressful situation into one clear sentence
🤯 The strategy I use to regain control of my stressful thoughts, and

Ep. 23: SELF CARE May 03, 2020

When you think about SELF CARE, what comes to mind for you? Bubble baths? Mani-pedis? What about eating vegetables, using a foam roller, or setting a GOAL?
My friend, SELF CARE is about so much more than just relaxing (although that is *one* aspect of it)!
During this week’s episode of the Fitness Matters podcast, we’re diving deep into both the physical and mental activities that make up a SELF CARE routine.
Because, of course, SELF CARE is a matter of mindset!
Physical SELF CARE involves:
🛀 Eating foods that feel good tomorrow
🛀 Drinking enough water
🛀 Sleeping well
🛀 Exercising regularly
🛀 Resting and recovering
🛀 Managing your stress
Mental SELF CARE is:
🛀 Setting goals for yourself
🛀 Honoring your word to yourself and others
🛀 Forgiving yourself
🛀 Not caring what other people think
🛀 Not worrying about the future

Do you have some OLD THOUGHTS that make you feel terrible, but you think you just can’t get rid of them? My friend, I’m here with a message of hope! Plus a couple of mildly funny stories from my own experience of replacing old thoughts with newer, more productive and happier ones.

Ep. 21: Mental TOUGHNESS Apr 19, 2020

Let’s talk about MENTAL TOUGHNESS! Because this fitness matter? Totally matters to *you,* even though you might not know it yet.
There’s a lot of misunderstanding of the phrase “mental toughness” and today, I’m going to de-mystify the topic and share some personal stories about developing my own mental toughness.
So, let’s chat about:
💪 What mental toughness ISN’T
💪 What it IS
💪 What it DOES for you
💪 What it DOESN’T do for you, and

Ep. 20: Dealing with UNCERTAINTY Apr 12, 2020

How are you doing? Are you struggling with all the UNCERTAINTY in the world today? Well, let’s talk about that. Because I have a #truthbomb for you, as well as some practical advice for dealing with uncertainty.
First, the cold, hard truth: LIFE IS *ALWAYS* UNCERTAIN
Always.
And you’re better equipped to deal with it than you realize (because you’ve actually been practicing your whole life)!
So, the real issue here is how you can manage your mindset right now, and I have a 2-step approach to help you feel better.

Ep. 19: How to Boost Your IMMUNE SYSTEM Apr 05, 2020

Wanna know how to boost your IMMUNE SYSTEM? Good. Because we’re diving in today, and this isn’t your standard “tips and tricks” kind of podcast.

Like any of our human systems, there’s a LOT going on with your immunity, which means (this is good news!) that there’s a LOT you can do to help it run smoothly:

⭐ Control your stress
⭐ Eat healthy foods
⭐ Exercise regularly
⭐ Drink enough water
⭐ Maintain a healthy weight
⭐ Set goals for yourself
While we’re chatting, I’ll offer you some insights into which action items are the most important (it’s not what you think) and share personal stories of my own healthy journey.

These are crazy times we’re living in, no? Most of us don’t have anything to compare this to, to know how to react, how to behave, how to think and how to move forward. But I have a few thoughts that you might find helpful.
Whether you’re a long distance runner like me or not, I think you’ll be able to relate to how I’m thinking of this pandemic as a MARATHON (rather than a sprint).

Wanna know a SECRET? I don’t like using that word in the title of my podcasts! But in this particular instance, it’s totally apropos.
There’s a secret to making things (like your fitness goals) happen, and it’s this: You have to give yourself PERMISSION.
And, yes, I know that sounds a little silly, but here on the Fitness Matters podcast, we dive in deep on even the silliest topics. Especially when they’re not silly, but could, in fact, be the thing that’s holding you back.
So, let’s talk about:
🤫 How you’re likely following SECRET rules and need permission to stray from them
🤫 Why giving yourself permission is much HARDER than it sounds, and
🤫 The reason your brain NEEDS permission
My friends, there is no goal beyond your ability, but it might be (currently) beyond your permission. Have a listen and put this thought into practice!

Because there’s a whole ‘nother layer to it, of course! And that makes this a fitness matter that matters to you.

Ep. 6: Making Successful Resolutions, Part TWO Jan 05, 2020

Here we go with Part TWO of the Making Successful Resolutions series (that only has two parts, LOL)!
Okay. You wrote out your awesome and amazing list of this (now past) years’ accomplishments and you are ready to rock ‘n roll with making your 2020 RESOLUTIONS, right?
Great! Here’s what you need to do next:
✨PICK SOMETHING✨
It sounds so simple, doesn’t it? Well, if it was simple, it wouldn’t be a topic for the Fitness Matters podcast!
Here’s the thing about picking something - it’s harder than you think. Most people, when making New Year’s resolutions, end up
👉 Using language that’s way too vague
👉 Try to pack in too many things
👉 Putting the “how” before the “what”
👉 Settling for less, or
👉 Using comparisons
So, let’s chat about what you need to do to PICK SOMETHING. Grab that pen and paper again, friends, because there’s another list to be made!

Ep. 5: Making Successful Resolutions, Part ONE Dec 29, 2019

It’s about that time of year when everybody and their mother is trying to talk to you about making RESOLUTIONS. So, here we go! 😄
I have something so important to tell you about making resolutions that I’m turning this into a two-part podcast. And thank goodness for that, because this first part took almost an hour!
And it’s the part that most people skip!
My friend, the first part of the secret sauce to making successful resolutions is this: recapping the current year.
I know your inclination is to be modest, or downplay your successes, but let me tell you, learning to notice and acknowledge your wins is ESSENTIAL to the success of next year’s resolutions.
Making a list of this year’s successes will teach your brain
🏆 How to LOOK FOR SUCCESS, and
🏆 How to FOCUS ON RESULTS
During today’s episode, I’ll share MY list of 2019 successes with you and I’d love to hear YOURS.

Ep. 4: Are You Doing ENOUGH? Dec 22, 2019

It’s a question I get asked almost daily: “Am I doing ENOUGH?” And the answer is never as simple as that question seems.
No matter your goal - losing weight, running farther, lifting heavier, etc - there’s always a thought in our minds that maybe we’re not doing enough. And you might not be (according to your brain)!
Today on the Fitness Matters podcast, we’re delving into
Why this question is actually unanswerable
How we know what “enough” is
What your brain does with questions like this, and (most importantly)
How to ask a better question to get better results

Ep. 3: GRIEF Dec 15, 2019

Today, December 15th, is the second anniversary of my sister’s death. Over the past two years, I’ve had an up close and personal experience of just how much GRIEF matters to your fitness.
So let’s talk about it.
My friend, this episode of The Fitness Matters Podcast has more warnings than any other I’ve recorded:
Even though I hope this conversation is helpful for you, I am NOT a grief counselor, nor an expert in any psychological manner
I AM going to cry
I’m not bothered by the crying, but YOU might be, and that’s okay
I am also going to LAUGH, because that’s how I roll
It’s not going to be everybody’s cup of tea. This conversation is raw, unfiltered and difficult.
But it’s also important!
Your body is affected by grief as much as your mind is, and that means that your fitness will CHANGE as you are on your grief journey. Interestingly, you might find yourself and your fitness following the same five stages of grief that psychologists report:
Shock and denial
Anger and guilt
Bargaining
Depression
Acceptance
During this episode, I share personal stories of my journey, in an effort to help you navigate your own road.

How I Lost Weight at 49 (During Menopause!) Oct 21, 2019

This one’s PERSONAL. We’re going for an hour-long walk and run and talking about WEIGHT LOSS during menopause or perimenopause - specifically, how *I* lost about seven pounds over the last two months. And lemme tell you something, it wasn’t easy!
But also?
It wasn’t too hard. My friend, losing weight at any age is something that *you* can do, too (if you want to).
Today’s episode features intervals of a minute-thirty (running) and thirty seconds (walking) - feel free to switch those up or use them in whatever way works for YOU.
This deep dive into the topic of weight loss isn’t your usual, “Here’s what I ate and this is how I exercised” fluff, because that’s not how we do things here on the Let’s RUN Podcast.
Nope.I’m getting into the nitty-gritty (and TMI) of *exactly* how weight loss works, both biologically and psychologically.
Yes, there are tears, and yes, we’re talking about my period. :) There are also plenty of insights and practical tips that YOU can use on YOUR weight loss journey.
Here’s how I successfully lost weight and plan on keeping it off:
✔️ I had a GOAL
✔️ I had PLAN
✔️ I had TOTAL COMMITMENT, and (maybe the most important thing)
✔️ I MANAGED MY MINDSET
You might be surprised to learn which one of these things was the hardest for me!

WEIGHT LOSS, Part Three: Mindset Issues Jul 15, 2019

Are you ready for it? Because this week we're diving DEEP and getting into the mindset issues that can block your weight loss success. It's a tough topic, but you are definitely tougher!
And while we're chatting, Let's RUN (and walk)! I've got the handy-dandy Gymboss set for one minute intervals that you can use in any manner that suits you best.
There are lots of different places where you might run into mental stumbling blocks on your weight loss journey.
You might discover that you have blocks about:
THE WEIGHT LOSS PROCESS. Sometimes even *thinking* about trying to lose weight is where we get stuck, because we bog ourselves down with ideas like "I have to eat healthy" or "I have to give up my favorite foods" or "I have to exercise all the time," etc.
YOUR BODY. Yes, it used to be easier to lose weight when we were younger. Yes, your body behaved differently before kids. Yes, puberty / childbirth / menopause has changed everything. None of these things are reasons why you can't lose weight now, but we sure think so.
YOUR FAMILY OR FRIENDS. Wanting to lose weight sometimes means we want something different than the people we love the most, and that can bring up feelings of guilt.
WHO YOU'LL BECOME. What if you start to put yourself and your needs first? What does that mean about you? (Hint: it's not what you think!)
There's a lot to dig through here, so let me lay out what this process looks like:
Step 1: Start listening to your thoughts! What are you saying to yourself over and over that's blocking you from success?
Step 2: Believe that you can change your mind. Because you can!
Step 3: Practice your new thoughts daily. Daily. Every day. I can't be more clear about this: D A I L Y.
Step 4: Keep moving forward. Weight loss still comes down to eating the right number of calories every day!
My friends, working through your weight loss mindset issues isn't going to be easy, but it will be SO worth it in the end.

WEIGHT LOSS, Part Two: Getting Started Jul 08, 2019

On today's all-new, hour-long episode of the Let's RUN podcast, we're covering everything (and I do mean *everything*) you need to know about WEIGHT LOSS - how it works, why it works and what you need to do to make it happen. And while we're talking, let's go for a nice, long WALK!
We're starting the conversation with some facts about BIOLOGY and how it affects your ability to lose weight, including:
⚖️ Your body's biological imperatives
⚖️ How your body takes in, stores and then uses energy
⚖️ What elements of this system you can actually control (hint: there's only one and it's CRITICAL that you control it!)
And then we'll chat about EXACTLY what you need to do to get started on your weight loss journey:
✔️ Commit to a GOAL
✔️ Have a PLAN and stick with it
✔️ TRACK your numbers, specifically your consistency with numbers
✔️ ANALYZE your results over time
Along the way, I have a lot to say about the "eat less, move more" mentality, opinions about how to choose the plan that's right for you and SO much more.

WEIGHT LOSS, Part One: My Story Jul 01, 2019

Let's talk about WEIGHT LOSS! This episode is Part ONE of a 5-part series, where we're covering everything from how to start losing weight, dealing with mindset issues, overcoming the dreaded plateau, and how to maintain your weight forever.
Today, we're chatting about MY WEIGHT LOSS STORY, from my childhood influences through teenage struggles and young motherhood, until I finally lost weight permanently about 13 years ago.
What did I do? How did I stick with it? And WHY did it work?
I've asked myself these questions so many times over the years, and while we chat about it, Let's RUN.
The handy-dandy Gymboss is set for one minute intervals, which you can use in whatever way works best for you.
Through my own weight loss journey and while working with fitness and weight loss clients, I've learned that there are FOUR KEYS to success:
CONSISTENCY - there's no way around this one, eating the right number of calories every single day is the main driver of weight loss
MODERATION - working out harder makes weight loss harder, but when you move moderately the scale will move in the right direction
100% COMMITMENT - losing weight needs to be the number one focus; being committed keeps you motivated
BELIEF - going hand in hand with commitment is the belief that your program will work and that you are capable of following through
