#193 - Look Back & Leap Forward with Chris and Jill Download | Play in New Window As 2025 comes to a close, Chris and Jill slow things down for a thoughtful end-of-year conversation. Instead of a highlight reel or checklist of accomplishments, this episode focuses on reflection, intention, and what it really means to age strong — physically, mentally, and emotionally. They also share an important announcement: for the first time in eight years, the podcast will be taking a January hiatus, returning refreshed in February 2026. We discuss: Reflection Over Perfection Why Chris and Jill chose reflection instead of a traditional year-end recap Aging with intention rather than chasing perfection Why rest and reflection are essential parts of strength — especially after 50 What actually mattered to you this year — not...

For many years, Jill and I have selected 3 words to focus on for the year. We talked a bit about setting a focus for 2024 during our the end of the year podcast episode that was launched Dec 26, 2023 called Lessons Learned for Healthy Living with Chris and Jill. My three focus words for 2024 are: 1) Connection 2) Declutter 3) Yoga Connection When I think of connection, it's primarily connecting with friends but also a connection with what you call "loose acquaintances." I consider loose acquaintances the people you see in everyday life at the store, the gym, in line at the bank, and around town. Some people call these "weak ties."  As more and more of my work becomes digital, it's the loose acquaintances that seem to...

Each year when I pick 3 focus words to focus my efforts, I look for words that I believe with inspire me and improve my life. Jill and I discussed our three words recently in podcast episode 98. You can click here to listen to the Fit Strong Women Over 50 podcast episode. This year my 3 focus words are: 1) Cue - As in the beginning step of a habit. When I read "The Power of Habit" I learned that everything starts with the cue. The book explains the 3 parts of the habit. Each habit has a cue, a routine and a reward. The key is understanding the pattern before trying to adjust the outcomes. It starts with the cue. The cue might be the...

I'm starting this year by making 2020 commitments. I guess it is kinda like resolutions, but I'm following Jill's lead of selecting 3 words for the new year. Before I jump into 2020, a quick summary of 2019. Last year was okay when it comes to work outs, but not great. The hardest part was no running, but I had made that commitment to myself. Honestly I really miss it and may do a bit of it in 2020, but it won't be a major focus. My daily calorie burn in 2019 was an average of 25 calories less than in 2018 (according to my FitBit.) It's not that I didn't get enough exercise, I actually spent more active time, it's just I didn't run and I...
