    The "Why" Behind Health

    Sometimes our health goals can be centered around our trauma or experiences we had that made us feel "less than" because of our weight.    But when you discover a "why" behind your health journey that is completely connected to you, the ups and downs become more bearable. Not only that, you remove anxiety and a constant sense of failure because you aren't pursuing approval or acceptance from anyone else.    Your journey of health (physical, emotional, spiritual, and mental) should be all about you. Asking yourself "why" will help you understand your motives and it will fill your journey with greater self awareness and growth that surpasses any number on the scale or dress size.

    Back to the Basics

Perhaps the answer is in the basics.  So, we talk about what getting back to the basics looks like for us.    What does getting back to the basics look life for you?

    The Trap of Weight Maintenance

    For many of us, the BMI has been the guiding light leading us to the weight goal promised land. And we look at the people in the promised land and think, "If only I could get there I would be happier, prettier, fulfilled, etc."   But as we hear from people who have achieved their weight loss goals, what we have discovered is that the promised land sounds like it's more akin to a landfill disguised with potpourri.    Why? Well, we don't really know, which is why we have Bethany Mauk on this episode to give us an inside look into the interesting and complicated world of weight maintenance.   Bethany Mauk spent most of her life struggling with her weight and self image. Fueled by a deeper why and a desire to truly get healthy, she lost over 100 pounds. Finally achieving her goal weight, she thought it would be bliss from that point forward.   Join us as Bethany takes us through her journey and what she has discovered on the other side of her "goal weight."   Connect to us!  IG: @onemorecookiepod  Email: onemorecookie@gmail.com   Our favorite thing:  All Trails App  https://www.alltrails.com

    Clean Plate, Fresh Slate - feat. Christine Preston

    An area of health that many people struggle with is nutrition. We live in a world with delicious food options everywhere. And the majority of the time, our favorite food choices aren't the healthiest for us.   So, when we start making the choice to change our eating habits, we think this means we must resign ourselves to bland chicken, unseasoned broccoli, and brown rice every day and into eternity.   Well, the good new is, that couldn't be further from the truth. In fact, on this episode, we sit down and talk to Christine Preston who is the author of the cookbook, "Clean Plate, Fresh Slate."    She is going to talk about her own health struggles along with the inspiration behind her new cookbook that features recipes that are delicious as well as healthy. Oh, and they are easy to prep and cook as well.   Our Favorite Things:  www.cleanplatefreshslate.com  https://www.amazon.com/Clean-Plate-Fresh-Christine-Preston/dp/1734921285/ref=sr_1_1?dchild=1&keywords=christine+preston&qid=1613401292&sr=8-1 Follow us on IG: @onemorecookiepod  Email us at: onemorecookie@gmail.com
