Managing Expectations and Impulses Around Midlife Diet and Exercise

This is a great episode, y’all. We recorded it before Thanksgiving and it got pushed back twice! 😊But I’m glad it did because as we get closer and closer to year’s end, it’s a great time to examine our priorities.Cam just got married. Amelia just started a new job. Starting new things is hard and challenging but oh, so rewarding and what better time to adjust our expectations and manage our impulses??We hope you love this episode as much as we loved recording it. We talk about how we focus on diet, exercise, work life, home life, being a parent/child/friend/sibling and what those roles mean vis-a-vis our expectations. Do we use food or exercise as a coping mechanism?If so, is this a healthy habit or a dangerous obsession?What does it mean to have expectations? Are they really 'joy killers'?How much exercise is healthy in midlife? Is there room for error?We cover several difficult conversations to have with yourself. Let's face it; life oftentimes gives us lemons. But in midlife, we are free to reframe how we view things. We can let go of old stereotypes, false beliefs and values. We can embrace the truth of who we have become and guess what? It’s a beautiful thing!As always, please subscribe, leave us a review, and we would love it if you'd take a screenshot of yourself listening and post on Social and tag us, @thehelpfulplate, @heymomma_cam, @midlife.mommas.Join us on the midlife journey!Websites: www.camoyler.com and www.thehelpfulplate.comInstagram: www.Instagram.com/midlife.mommasFacebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/midlifemusclewithcamIf you have any burning topics that you'd like us to tackle, please let us know!Stay Connected!AmeliaWebsite:  https://www.thehelpfulplate.com/IG: https://www.instagram.com/thehelpfulplate/CamWebsite: https://www.camoyler.com/IG: https://www.instagram.com/heymomma_cam/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@heymomma_camMidlife Mommas IG: https://www.instagram.com/midlife.mommas/Please share, rate, and review the podcast.  We appreciate you! ❤️
