Why You Say You Want Change… But Don’t Take Action

from A Cup of Dri: Fitness Thoughts from My Car to Yours · host Adriana Mastronardi

In this episode, I dive into something I know so many women struggle with: wanting change but not actually taking the uncomfortable steps required to make it happen.I talk about why habit change feels so hard, why quick fixes never last, and how the patterns you repeat every day are either moving you forward… or keeping you stuck in the same place you were three months ago (or even a year ago).I share a real client example of a habit she didn’t even realize was holding her back, and how bringing awareness to our behaviours is often the key to breaking the cycle.We also get into the truth about food tracking, why you don’t have to do it forever, but why giving yourself a solid year of practice can transform your awareness, your portion control, and your long-term sustainability. I explain how tracking builds the skill of eating intentionally so you can later be flexible without backsliding.If you’ve been relying on quick fixes, feeling frustrated because you're “doing all the things,” or waiting until the new year to start changing your habits… this episode will give you the push and the clarity you need. You don’t have to waste the next few weeks. You can start today.If you’re ready to figure out exactly which habits are keeping you stuck and where to begin, book a FREE Habit Audit with me at cupofdri.com/freehabitauditLet’s start building habits that will change your 2026, starting now!
