Maintenance: Mindset Monday

November 9, 2026 · 29 min

Show notes

Strong bones, better sleep, being able to carry your own groceries decades from now. They’re all good reasons to take care of yourself. But when did being healthy stop being any fun?


With Gina away, Odette and Kim talk about why healthy living in midlife can turn into a list of shoulds, and what changes when you chase a forever feeling instead of a forever number. They also cover how to keep your habits when your routine falls apart, why putting yourself first can feel harder after you’ve reached your goal weight, and how the end of the year turns a Monday problem into a January problem.


Plus, a preview of Wednesday’s guest: Joan MacDonald of Train with Joan, who started strength training at 70.
