The FitSister Podcast

Guys, no one is more of an expert at self-help than me. I have read all of the books, listened to all of the podcasts. I am the eternal student of self-optimization. Oh, but wait, did I mention, I’ve never really changed all that much in my self-help adventures. I still have a drawer full of single socks with no match among other issues that annoy me and most likely the people I love. In this episode, Moo and I talk about self help-- does it work or is the illusion of a solution? Does anything work? I th...

Have you ever felt like your brain is a flood of negativity and anxiety? Have you ever wondered how to get your brain to empower you instead of being your biggest critic? In this episode, Moo interviews her friend and former life coach Muneer Al-Busaidi about the power of our thoughts on why it is important to talk to ourselves the right way. They discuss how to control thoughts, the power of self-talk, creating positive identities, visualizing success, and the impact of gratitude. Muneer shares practical techniques for overcoming limiting beliefs and emphasizes the significance of asking empowering questions...

Rites of Passage play an important role in our youth. As we grow our parents, communities and religions signal our movement from one phase into another. But what happens in adulthood? We change throughout our lives, but gone are the ceremonies, events or experiences. Sometimes it feels like we could use something to signal our movement as we shed certain skin and take on new roles. In this episode, Moo and I discuss the role of rites of passage in adulthood. Why might it be important and what might it look like? From JLo to journaling in she-sheds, we...

Friendship is a simple concept with huge benefits, but it is often overlooked in the chaos and business of modern life. In this episode, I recap my recent trip to Florida where I met Moo’s friends. Moo shares her insights on the importance of friendship in our forties, especially when family lives so far away. But Moo’s mantra is: “there is no friends and family, there is just family.” The people she has spent all these years with, the women she has raised her kids alongside, the friends who have stepped in for help with carpools, sports and big...

Listeners, welcome back to a special episode of The FitSister Podcast. On today's episode, Moo interviews her longtime best friend Ashley Litwin Diego about her recent decision to run for State Representative for the state of Florida. Ashley is a mom of three and a cancer survivor who, now in her 40s, has decided to enter the political realm. What happens when a mom decides to listen to her lifelong ambitions? How did she know it was time for something new? And of course, what about the kids? Ashley and Moo talk about Ashley’s mindset around work, family, ca...

Friends and listeners, welcome back. In this episode I confess the bizarre ways social media has hijacked my brain and why I decided to make major changes to my social media diet. Moo and I cover the ways in which social media distracts us from what really matters and  turns us into binary thinkers. Life is complicated and nuanced and social media insists on making it two-dimensional and over-simplistic. We end with why social media and influencer culture is particularly harmful in our over-40 phase of life. Listen along and join the conversation on Instagram, or don’t! We lov...

In this episode, I candidly talk about an Amazon purchase that I thought would be a gamechanger. Let me guess, you already know how the story ends. It changed absolutely nothing. Moo and I discuss how overspending is not only wasting our money, but it is preventing us from finding real solutions to our actual problems. Join us on a journey as we unpack why so many of us believe we are one purchase away from our ideal selves. Less is more, but more is so easy! Thanks for listening!

Friends! Welcome back. This week on FitSister Moo and I talk about the issue that all of us face-- the attack of overscheduling. Ironically, Moo and I are both simple people who would like to lead simple lives, but the world we live in has made this exceptionally challenging. Moo shares her tales of a travel baseball mom and how she has recently left the world of travel sports. How much is too much for a family? How do the hopes and dreams of moms and parents fit in with a busy schedule? These are complicated questions and we...

Friends. Family. Distinguished listeners. I did it. I solved the dinner dilemma. I truly would never intend to oversell a podcast episode and I am morally against using clickbait to gain followers. But I did it. This is not a brag; it’s just the truth. In this episode I tell Moo about my new strategy, which I am calling the Repeat Meal Schedule. And, in typical Nat fashion, this episode is not just about dinner. It is about rejecting the myths and lies surrounding what it means to be successful in the role of parent and provider. Because we...

Welcome to The FitSister Podcast, the show where women in midlife come together to navigate the ups and downs of health, fitness, and identity. If you're in your 40s and feeling the shift in your body, mind, or soul, you're not alone. Whether you're wondering how to stay fit in an aging body, how to eat healthy when you have no time, how to redefine who you are as your roles change, or just seeking support during this time of transformation—this podcast is for you.

This week Moo hosts guest Karen Geiger to di...

Hey hey! Welcome back to The FitSister Podcast, people! In this episode Moo and I explore the theme of having fun in your 40s, which already sounds like an oxymoron. (I can see my teenager rolling his eyes already. I’m fun, right? Right?!) Let’s just say, having fun is more complicated than it used to be. We talk about the importance of non-performative activities, setting personal goals for joy, and creating meaningful experiences that align with our interests. 

Now that we’ve pivoted, I can finally nerd-out on the podcast. In this episode, I reference a Art o...

Guys, we’re pivoting. We’re adapting. We are rethinking, retooling and broadening our scope. In this episode we discuss a new direction for the FitSister Podcast. Thanks for being with us on this fun and crazy journey of making a podcast. We hope you’ll stick around to see what we’re up to next.

Listeners, you are in for a treat. In episode 51, Moo hosts her first guest and guess what, it’s another sister. Haley might be our little sister, but she is definitely the wisest sibling in the family. Haley is a licensed therapist and after a career in school social work, she started working in private practice. In this episode Moo and Haley delve into the pervasive issue of negative self-talk. They explore its definitions, sources, and the patterns that contribute to it, particularly in the context of midlife challenges. Haley emphasizes the importance of recognizing and reframing negative thoughts, un...

On this fiftieth episode of The FitSister podcast, I share my frustrations and questions about the current strength training messaging that is targeted at women over 40. Beginning a serious, effective strength training regime at middle age is serious business, and I might not be all that interested. Moo weighs in on my annoyances and offers some sound advice. Then, we chat about snacks-- one of my favorite topics-- and discuss how to get the most out of our mid-day meals. Don't forget to subscribe to Moo’s newsletter and follow @FitSisterOfficial on Instagram. Thanks for listening!

Hey there listeners, Nat here reporting from the front lines of trying to workout while also working a job and being a mom. Just like you, I’ve had some wins and losses. My 5:30 AM workout routine is working (currently), major win! But in other news, I pulled a calf muscle going down stairs, major loss. Moo and I discuss this over-40 trend of seeing success and then being sidelined as a result of an injury from an extremely basic everyday activity. Then, we get into an interesting social media post that had Moo thinking. And finally we discuss wh...

As a teacher who is about to start school, I am at peak delusion as to what I am capable of this year and how my in-school habits will turn out. There’s nothing like the optimism of late August right before the reality of September sets in. But Moo is here to guide me through what to do when my plans fail. It won’t even be a fail! It will be information followed by an adjustment. Moo takes me through some “back on track” strategies as we all get ready to jump back into the school year.

Duration: 00:45:30

In this Summer Series episode, Moo and I set resolutions for the new school year. We discuss our individual goals related to fitness, nutrition, and mindset, emphasizing the significance of morning routines, simplifying family meals, and overcoming negative self-talk. Our conversation highlights the challenges and strategies involved in making meaningful changes that will ultimately result in a more fulfilling and balanced lifestyle.

This was a great mental exercise for both of us, and we encourage everyone to try it out. Sign up for Moo’s newsletter to receive a step-by-step guide for your own Ne...

Moo has been in Michigan for the week and after working out with me in my garage, we had some thoughts (and an idea) on in-home workouts. In this episode, we debrief on the pros of the in-home workout and Moo offers guidance on basic movements for a person who wants to try strength training in the privacy of their own home. Also, we talk about how a lot of us have a random assortment of workout equipment in our garage or basement or closet, but we’re not sure what to do with it. If this is you, se...

Moo and I sit down and talk on our last night of vacation. Our week up north was full of activity and ice cream, so we discuss how it all went. Observing strangers helped me redefine my why and Moo and a few other family members took on a huge physical challenge while we were up north. I sincerely hope this episode inspires you to reflect and reset as we turn the corner into August! Thanks for listening! 

Greetings listeners! In this Summer Series episode, we explore common food items and habits that people often question regarding their impact on diet. We finally discuss my love for half-and-half in coffee, the nutritional value (or total lack of nutritional value) of cereal, the impact of beverages on calorie intake, and if there is such a thing as too much ice cream in summer time. Overall, we keep coming back to the idea of the importance of understanding our own habits and finding a balance between indulgence and healthy eating.

Our summer series continues and this week we tackle various health hacks that are often overhyped or misunderstood. Moo and I delve into the misconceptions surrounding cortisol, vitamin D, and weighted vests. But hold up, just because something “isn’t worth the hype” doesn’t mean we totally dismiss it. I am sure that sounds confusing, but these issues are always more complex than what we see on social media. Join us for an episode that includes information, conversation, and nuance. Throw on your weighted vest and press play!

In this summer series episode, Moo tackles the question of vacation. I am going to the ocean and fully plan on indulging in lobster rolls and frozen custard. Can I enjoy all the east coast has to offer but not feel like a total failure once I get home? Moo and I discuss a five-step vacation plan designed to help me and our listeners enjoy our vacations without guilt while maintaining a healthy lifestyle. Moo emphasizes the importance of setting intentions, recognizing non-negotiables (did I mention the lobster roll?), and reframing the way we think about indulgence and health...

This week on our third episode of the summer series, we tackle family nutrition. Whose job is it to make your family healthy? Is it only one person's job? That person, mom or dad, is probably feeling a lot of stress. So much stress they’ve even had a meltdown when someone at the table announced they could not eat their dinner because there was a light dusting of parmesan cheese on it. Just me? Either way, buckle up for an episode that we thought would be short, but ended up being long because there is a lot to ta...

Welcome to the second episode in our summer series. Today we are tackling dressings and sauces. Moo and I begin with a conversation on seed oils and then we move into how to make your dressings and sauces healthier if you want to! Or, if you want to eat your seed oil dressings, that’s cool too! But let’s get the right information and make the decision that’s best for us! That’s the FitSister way!

Welcome to our first episode in what we are calling “the summer series.” On each episode we are covering a single topic and today, we are revisiting pasta salad. Moo reports out on an NYT pasta salad recipe she piloted this week, Nat feels the need to defend the use of the noodle (and not some chickpea-replacement), and we end up connecting all of this to a William Wordsworth poem in the end. Let me tell you, this is content you can’t find anywhere else! We love you, listeners! Happy summer!

We begin episode 38 with yet another involving me, the donut, overeating chips (Patio Chips specifically) even though I am actually eating more vegetables. So while I am improving on one goal, I am still giving in to major chip cravings. Have no fear, the Fit Sister is here to help. Then, Moo gives us her very strong opinion on a recent episode of Science Versus. Finally, we end with a rousing debate on pasta salad. I bet you can guess who is “pro pasta salad.” Thanks for listening!

Listeners! Welcome to Episode 37. First and foremost, we check in regarding my vegetable goals and there are indeed some wins and losses. Let’s be real, this isn’t easy. Then we transition into a conversation about Gabby Reece and her recent interview on the podcast Ageist. As a 55 year old woman, Reece’s interview got us thinking about the importance of authenticity as we age. That’s kind of tricky when the world is telling us the opposite. It is so refreshing to see women over 40 in the public space having honest conversations about the phases of life that are...

What do I mean by normal person? Well, unlike my sister, I need some help with the whole foods. More specifically, I have recently realized I need more fruits and veggies in my daily life. In this episode, Moo and I talk about real roadblocks to eating more vegetables (all that chopping!) and real solutions to embracing healthy, whole food eating habits. Also are carrots and mangoes “full of sugar”? Are there certain fruits and veggies we should avoid? (I sincerely hope she says no).

Are you working late, attending events for work and school and looking at a totally booked Google calendar? Are you finding it impossible to manage all the Sign Up Genius emails and figure out what to make for dinner? Does the idea of eating healthy and building in time for fitness sound totally insane to you right now? Then this episode is for you. It is May, people. This is not a drill. Your cars better be packed, your meals better be planned or it will take you down. Well guess what? It took me down. In this episode...

What is up, fit sisters! Welcome to episode 34. On today’s episode we discuss Moo’s introverted approach to her birthday. Currently, she has shut down all of her friends’ attempts to celebrate her b-day. We unpack the philosophical implications of aging and how odd it can feel to “celebrate ourselves.” Then we discuss a recent NYT article about the “keys to longevity.” Wait, do we want longevity? Or do we want the summer bod? Is it impossible to have both? Listen along and then tell us how you feel!

Welcome back, listeners! We begin today’s episode with a Nat-life-update. In our last episode I talked about changing my fitness routine to focus more on daily movement and short weight-lifting sessions instead of a dedicated “workout. ” In this episode I tell Moo how it's all going. Then, we move to a listener email about GLP-1s. First, I discuss how I love food, how I have always loved food and it is nice to hear how much other people think about food as much as I do. Then, Moo gets into food relationships and the role of GLP-1 medica...

Welcome to this special episode of The FitSister Podcast! Moo was in for the weekend so did all the things a podcasting sister duo could do together. 1. Coffee. 2. Blow outs. 3. Make-up. 4. A recording session in an official podcasting studio. JOIN US for our first in-studio recording. We debrief on our make-up sessions (I tried fake lashes for the first time) and then we dive into a question that both Nat and a listener have-- how can we increase daily movement if our days consist of sitting at work, sitting at practices and driving to work and practice?

We begin this week’s episode with a tale from Planet Fitness. A man spoke to me at the gym (!), and I had to tell Moo all about my first interaction with a real-life gym bro. Then, we discuss the ridiculous and the real in the ever-growing world that is now called “the menopause market.” Moo recently attended a women’s health summit in Miami and is armed and excited with some new information. And of course, we end with Moo reminding us about the value of, you guessed it, strength training. As usual, thank you for listening! If you enjo...

Before I started really listening to my sister (which took a while), I assumed that a client who saw real change was a person who could count calories, had all the time in the world to go to the gym, and had iron-clad willpower. As it turns out, none of those qualities are actually the traits of a person who experiences meaningful change when it comes to health and fitness. In this episode Moo takes us through the five traits of a highly successful client. 

Thank you for listening! If you’re enjoying the podcasting, don’t forge...

Hello listeners! In this episode Moo and I start with a conversation about what I should make for dinner tonight and the rest of my life. Do you suffer from dinner-decision exhaustion? Because I do. Moo has some good advice for me in the world of meal planning, recipes and how to keep meals fresh and exciting. We then move on to a listener question about sourdough bread. And man, do I love sourdough bread. But is it all that it's cracked up to be in terms of health benefits? That would be great because it certainly is delicious...

Hey hey listeners! We’re back. In this episode I tell Moo my tales of trying out a fancy gym. We discuss gym culture and finding a gym that aligns with our values. Then we move on to a listener question that asks about this whole protein intake situation. Basically, if you are over 40, you have probably heard that you need an insane amount of protein. No number is high enough. Think you’re hitting your protein goals, think again. It’s crazy! But wait, before we go eating three rotisserie chickens a day or spreading cottage cheese all over e...

I have a problem. Do I like broadcasting my problem all over the internet and podcasting airspace? No, not particularly. But the premise of this entire project is that Moo and I talk through real problems that real people have. And so, dear listener, I confess my issue and you get to listen in on the advice and solutions. In this episode I ask Moo a question that I sincerely need her help with. And lucky for me, she is not the type of sister to say, “deal with it,” “you’re not trying hard enough,” or “just do better.” (Bu...

Hey listeners. I don’t know about you, but I’ve been online bathing suit shopping since mid-January. Bathing suit shopping always conjures up some feelings for my 40-something self and I had to bring those feelings to my Fit Sister. We end up exploring themes of self-perception, body image, and the complexities of choosing swimwear as we navigate aging and societal expectations. This conversation is all about the balance between comfort and confidence! Then, we move on to a listener question about how to deal with social circles who are constantly comparing themselves to other women. That’s tough...

Do you have a 24 to 48-hour window of time in a 28-day cycle where you not only feel angry at everyone for no reason, but you also feel as if the only thing that will keep you at a non-violent level of equilibrium is some sort of sodium bomb or salty carb experience? If you know what I am talking about, go ahead and hit play because we got you. I straight up ask Moo if I should just order the Thai food and call it a day. She has so much to say on this topic. And while...

Friends. Right now, as I write this (and as I record this) it is laughable to believe I could or would have any consistent routine considering that every time I try to make a plan, something bananas happens. This week it was (ready?): stomach flu for kid A, I say up all night furiously washing sheets, towels and blankets all while trying to help kid A (little sips of water, buddy!), we attempt to quarantine kid A from kids B and C, then some random meetings come up later in the week in that we have to attend but...

We begin with my sorry tale of the February Blues. Moo and I chat about the challenges of maintaining motivation and movement during seasonal slumps, the importance of finding balance in routines, and the need to redefine self-care and happiness. Then we get into a conversation about what strength training is and is not. Specifically, we discuss the role of Pilates in fitness. There is a lot to say here and it is not an easy or short answer. Moo goes to war with phrases like “toned” and “long and lean” and obviously emphasizes that building muscle is what we are a...

Guys, I recently made the decision to join Planet Fitness and in this episode we discuss my experiences with the gym so far. We explore the challenges of transitioning from home workouts to a gym environment, the importance of understanding different workout types, and the balance between strength training and cardio. Our conversation also touches on effective leg workouts and the significance of finding a routine that fits into a busy lifestyle. We conclude with a listener question about making strength training enjoyable. Moo breaks down some of the barriers to strength training, emphasizing the importance of motivation that...

Welcome to episode 21! We get right into it today as I dive into the complexities of being a woman over 40 and discuss the dual messages surrounding fitness and personal growth. We explore the concept of a midlife crisis (guys, it’s a little bit of a crisis), but we also agree that it is an opportunity for evolution and growth. Moo of course emphasizes the importance of healing relationships with our bodies, the significance of strength training, and how these elements contribute to personal empowerment and confidence. Finally, we also touch on cultural expectations of aging and the need fo...

I fall apart on the weekends-- this is a known fact. Lots of coffee all morning long, pizza and late night snacking. Moo offers me some guidance on establishing healthy anchors to help me navigate my weekends more mindfully. Then we move on to talk about how to go to the gym for the first time (or maybe the first time since you turned 40); not surprisingly it turns into a conversation about the importance of mindset, motivation, and redefining body goals beyond aesthetics. Small wins are everything, especially when it comes to the world of fitness. Our Fun Follow...

For those of us in the midwest, we are officially in the dead of winter. I talk to Moo about how I am moving less and giving up the goal of 10,000 steps. I also talk her through some other health trends that (I think) are not worth my time. We then move on to a listener question about how to recover from being sore, especially when you’re feeling more and more like an old person after a workout. We end with a fun follow that will get you ready for the Superbowl, especially if you are a “sports adja...

This might be the first time IN MY LIFE I have deeply reflected on changes I want to make in my life and then put that change into action. No one is more shocked than me. I tell Moo all about it and she shares her new year's goals and progress with me. Then we dive into a listener's question on what happens if we cut back on cardio-- does that mean that we’ll be “out of shape”? We end the episode with a podcast recommendation for those who are interested in a show about personal development with some d...

This episode is part two of our in-person conversation about what the new year means for us. We begin with our resolutions and then discuss our “fun follows” for 2025. Social media is blocking us from accomplishing A LOT of our goals, but there are some awesome people out there that make us smile AND give us reliable information. 

Thank you for listening! If you enjoy our podcast, please share it with a friend and follow us on Spotify! Sign up for Moo’s newsletter here! And find us on Instagram @FitSisterPod.

We’re back! And we are recording together, on the same couch! This is a FitSister first! Moo is in town and with the new year here, we have a lot to discuss. First, we start with a Cookie Lady recap. Then Moo and I share our “ins and outs” of 2025. Guys, we go deep! Moo cries and I get a little choked up at the end. I personally love a “new year, who am I?” discussion. January is a perfect time to reflect on where we have been and where we want to go next. We love these conversati...

Well guys, it finally happened. Moo yells at me on the podcast. But I do get a little clap back moment in the end. Long story short, I overate on spring rolls--they were delicious, by the way. But Moo will not allow me to feel as if I was the victim of the situation, despite the fact that I felt powerless in the face of the spring rolls! Then, we get into a listener question about alcohol. We know, it’s terrible for all of us, but Moo explains that again, it’s not that simple. Finally we end with...

We start off this week’s conversation with a discussion on the recent popularity of jump training for women over 40. Moo explains that this is yet again an example of asking the right questions instead of adopting the latest fad. Jump training may NOT be it for those ladies out there who have had kids, and that’s okay! Then I talk to Moo about how I can’t seem to stay on the health wagon in the month of December. I’m on again off again! Finally, we talk about the little things that make a big difference-- the move...

It is OFFICIALLY the holiday season. In this episode I talk to Moo about some real strategies for staying healthy (healthy-ish, let’s be real) during the holidays. Honestly, no one is here to tell you not to eat the cookies. (I would never make a podcast that told people not to eat the cookies). However, as Moo explains, that doesn’t mean we make choices that we eventually regret. There is a lot of “how to get through the holidays” advice out there, and most of it doesn’t work because it’s not designed for me, or you, fair li...

The New York Times recently published an article about the complicated reasons why women  workout less than men. If you are a woman, you could have written this article yourself because you already know all of the reasons. But the article made both of us feel like we are not the only ones pushing against an unnamed force. Moo and I share the details of the article and discuss the frustrating reality the article exposes as well as our hopeful solutions. Then, Moo fields a listener question on weighted vests. 

Thank you for listening! If you enjoy ou...

Moo is literally “shook” when I tell how I have (temporarily) ended my late-night snacking habit. (And let’s be real people, it was never really “snacking,” it was dessert. Or desserts-- plural). Then we take a listener question on bread-- multigrain? sourdough? whole wheat? To absolutely no one’s surprise,  I confess I love white bread with butter. Moo, being the nutrition coach she is, explains to me that it’s not about ditching my indulgences all together. Okay, yes Moo! Pass the butter! (Can I get that on a t-shirt?) 

Sign up for Moo’s newsletter here! A...

In this episode Moo and I first discuss an important update to my at home workout routine and the role of high intensity interval training/raising your heart rate during a workout/sprint interval training. (There are some people out there who probably disagree with my use of forward slashes in that previous sentence, but I stand by it. Also, that’s part of the conversation! Are these the same or different?) Then I talk with Moo about fiber. She is a big fan of it and I am not getting enough of it-- classic Moo-Nat nutrition situation. Finally, we...

This week Moo and I talk about the latest messages from social media surrounding women's health and fitness. First, we unpack the hilarious reel from bigtimeadulting. From Pink to Good Morning America, it felt like everyone saw Caitlin Murray’s satire of all of the messages women receive about what they should and should not be doing. Then we talk about the advice of just ignoring all of the advice and “being ourselves”-- but what if we haven’t thought about who we are since our first kid was born? Finally, Moo and I discuss the latest episode from Sci...

I’m not sure about you, but in my life pizza is everywhere. And, let’s be honest, it can be a perfect little satisfying meal. (Also, if you have an airfryer, it is delicious and crunchy even when reheated!) But I am consuming too much pizza and I ask Moo for help. Then, Moo talks about how to make healthier food choices when dining out and I reflect on the fact that I haven’t dined out since 2009. Finally we end with a question on what to eat before a workout. Cold pizza? Just kidding!

On this episode we discuss my birthday. You know I love to indulge, but is indulging a form of self care or is it self sabotage? I tell Moo everything I plan to eat on my birthday and we also talk about how “celebrating” doesn’t have to mean indulging. (That sentence makes me feel so old! But also wise! But also boring!) Then we talk about strength training for beginners. Moo’s takes us through simple yet effective exercises to do at home if you’re ready to start building muscle, but you don’t know where to start. We co...

First I talk to Moo about what happens when I lose my momentum and find myself falling back into old patterns of indulgence after a few days of weird schedules and not being able to workout. When I lose the routine I have a hard time with motivation and self-control. Then we answer a listener question about using food as a reward. Finally, we talk through a listener question about losing motivation when there isn’t time to train for competitions and how to build our identities around our own versions of health and fitness.

In this episode we review Nat’s 33 minute garage gym workout. Moo gives me some high fives and some ways to improve my at-home fitness routine. Then a listener asks about lifting weights and walking as an option for women over 40. I ask Moo about the role of elevated heart rate in our exercise regimens. We end with a conversation about how to find time to workout when we want to be with our kids in the evening and the 5AM morning routine isn’t working for us either.

On today’s episode I ask Moo the question I have been asking her for years-- what do I do when the boss brings donuts and I really want a donut, and at the exact same time I also do not want a donut. It’s complicated! Moo and I talk about the differences between healthy eating, intentional eating and mindful eating (which is not what happens with me and donuts). Then Moo fields a question on vitamins, minerals and supplements. We end with Moo’s take on creatine and its role in the world of female strength training and mu...

I ask Moo to build me the perfect sandwich for my school lunch. (To-go lunches are a challenge--am I right?!) Then we dive into listener questions about belly fat and weight gain during menopause. Moo tells us her tale of being in the free weight section of the gym in the late 90s--scary stuff!

I confess to Moo that I have a bad habit of snacking on junk food while I cook my healthy dinner. (Sometimes it takes so long!) Then Moo addresses a listener question on motivation. Begrudgingly, I allow her (only because she is my sister!) to take me through an exercise so we can “find my why.” (Insert eye roll emoji). Shockingly enough, I think we make progress. Finally, Moo explains tracking macros versus counting calories. I make sure to stop her when it gets boring.

On this inaugural episode of The FitSister Podcast, Moo and I (guys, I call my sister Moo-- I’ll explain later) discuss what I should eat for breakfast. Then we take listener questions about what to do when your underwear is a little too snug, and how can we honestly find time for a workout routine when we are, ya know, doing everything for everyone else all the time.
