Feeling Your Summer Best: Making This Season Your Best Yet!
Hi everyone! If you want this summer to be one filled with energy, positivity, and amazing memories, this post is for you! Below I am sharing my secrets to making this summer one of your best yet! It’s the perfect time to try new things, eat delicious foods, and enjoy all you have earned throughout the years. It’s not about perfection, it’s about enjoying life!
Here are my tips for a fun-filled summer - enjoy!
Say yes! This is the perfect time of year to say yes to BBQs, pool parties, picnics and more. You don’t have to stay the entire time, but showing up strengthens those friendships and shows that you care. Find a salad recipe you love, and make that your go-to dish to bring! My new Fit Over 50: The Menopause Issue is on newsstands tomorrow (6/26/26), and includes plenty of fun recipes you can perfect and call your own!
And say no! Sometimes you need a recharge, whether that means alone time or extra sleep. If you really aren’t feeling it, take a raincheck and make it up to the hosts within the next month or so.
Get outside every day. This is the time of year to soak it all in, so get out for a daily walk, pickleball game or simply taking in the scenery. Sunshine and nature are proven to lift your mood, boost your energy and make you feel great!
Make meals with seasonal foods. It’s also that time of year when produce is at its best, so plan your meals around fresh veggies and fruits like bell peppers, zucchini, corn, tomatoes and berries. Add a lean protein and your meals will be healthy, filling and satisfying!
Finally, embrace aging! We have come too far and experienced too much to let our bodies or minds slow us down from enjoying life! Put on that bathing suit and show up with confidence! Throw on a tank top and show off your shoulders! It’s how you feel that matters - and feeling positive and full of joy is the BEST way to enjoy summer!
I hope these tips help you create a memorable summer - my Fit Over 50: The Menopause Issue has even more lifestyle and nutrition advice to help all of us gals live life to the fullest. It goes on sale tomorrow, or buy it online - stay on the lookout, your support means so much to me!
Let’s live FIT, HAPPY, and HEALTHY - together!
