01-Healthy Weight Part 1 - Thriving in Life Beyond Appearance

Today I want to talk about healthy weight, what that means, and I have something for you to think about. So we're gonna start with something to think about. Did you know your enjoyment of life is determined by how you actually participate in it, not how you look doing it. So let's break this down a little cuz it does have to do with the healthy weight. You can be as skinny as you want. If you're full of aches and pains and you're not mobile and you're stiff and you're not able to participate in life, that's not a way to enjoy the rest of your life, especially as those of us start retiring and enjoying more of life. Um, you need to focus on the health aspect, the functional health aspect, being functionally mobile, we've gotta get this out of our heads that skinny equals health.

There's lots of people out there that are skinny and not healthy. There's lots of ways to lose weight that will not make you healthy. The only thing that makes you healthy is focusing on what your body needs right now to heal and thrive. So a healthy weight is a weight in which you are able to participate in life that you are able to go and enjoy and do things that you wanna do. You can be mobile enough to go hiking, trail walking, rafting, skiing, whatever it is that you enjoy doing. Or maybe it's just traveling. Traveling takes a lot out of you. And then when you're not healthy, it's even harder. And then you wanna make sure that all your metabolic markers are on point because you don't wanna get sick while you're traveling and hiking and skiing and water skiing and stuff. You want to make sure that you are healthy enough so that you come home healthy, that you enjoy it, you thrive.
