(Author of Your Goal Guide) Debra Eckerling discusses the ways in which you can make eating healthy fun on this #GoalChat recap.
On this week’s #GoalChatLive gym owner, health fanatic, and entrepreneur Rhino Julie joined me to talk about Healthy Living Made Fun! The May theme is Reconnecting, so this week we talked about reestablishing – and embracing – your health goals.
Rhino Julie talked about her love of food, her own health goals and challenges, and her backstory on how – and why – she became a gym owner.
The basic theme: To have a healthy lifestyle, decide what that means to you and find comfortable ways to make it happen.
- You want to eat better: Keep healthy food in the house. And also plan special treats for yourself
- Need to work out more: The ideal is 120 minutes a week, but even if you have only 30 seconds to work out, find ways to exercise during those short sprints of time
- The biggest mistake people make is saying, “I will be happy if… I will be happy when …” Celebrate everything … the process … rather than stress out chasing results!
When I asked how she ranked the importance of eating well, working out, and self-care, Rhino Julie said sleep is most important. When you sleep well, you are able to be more active and also eat better.

A Roadmap for Setting, Planning and Achieving Your Goals

Your Goal Guide by Debra Eckerling starts with that first, crucial step: figuring out your goals and putting a plan in place.
