If you wear a fitness tracker, and burn 300 calories - that doesn’t mean you get to eat an extra 300 calories!
In this bonus episode of Habits & Hustle (Fitness Friday’s), Layne Norton and I talk about how to know how much to eat based on your workouts.

Struggle with procrastination? In this episode of the Habits & Hustle podcast, Jennifer admits she is a natural procrastinator, especially when it comes to things she doesn’t enjoy doing or things she thinks she is bad at doing. Although, the reality of life is that we aren’t going to be good at everything and we also aren't going to enjoy doing everything–but we still have to do it. So, how do we overcome this and learn to break our toxic procrastination patterns?
If you can relate, get ready for Jennifer to share her best Habits & Hustle tips. She explores the different parameters she has implemented into her everyday life that have greatly changed the way she tackles tasks. She also explains how procrastination can be detrimental to our self esteem, how overcoming procrastination needs to become a habit, and the little things she does to eliminate distractions
All the tips Jennifer shares are simple, tangible, and available to you at any time for whenever you’re ready to start tackling your procrastination, too.
What’s discussed:
0:00 - Introduction to procrastination
1:45 - How some people don’t have time to procrastinate
2:05 - Why we procrastinate on the things we’re bad at
2:53 - How to make big tasks feel less daunting
3:37 - Getting things done first thing in the morning
4:39 - The correlation between procrastination and self esteem
5:59 - How to eliminate distractions
7:44 - Utilizing time blocking
8:30 - Tell us what you think in the Facebook group!
Key Takeaways:
You procrastinate less when you break things down into smaller, sizable chunks. If something feels daunting to you, instead of thinking about the daunting task at hand, reframe the way you think about it by focusing on getting a small piece of it done today. The smaller you can break up your task, the less daunting it will end up feeling.
Procrastination is one of the simplest ways to destroy your self esteem and being your own accountability partner is one of the best ways to build your self esteem. If you make sure you do the things that you tell yourself you're going to do and do them completely, you’ll feel a sense of accomplishment, and that leads to building real self confidence.
Put all the hard things you need to get done at the start of your day. Don’t allow yourself to do anything else until you have fully completed these tasks. Turn this into a habit: Tackle the uncomfortable things first before falling into doing what feels comfortable.

Are you rejecting yourself before anyone else has the chance to?
In this solo episode of Habits and Hustle, I chat with you about self-rejection. I go over what it means, why we do it, what are some of the symptoms you are self-rejecting, and what you can do to overcome it. I also explain the difference between self-rejection and self-sabotage.
What we discuss:
01:04: What is self-rejection?
03:51: Self-rejection vs Self-sabotage: what’s the difference?
06:46: How to overcome self-rejection
Key takeaways:
Self-rejection is when you reject yourself first, to avoid others rejecting you. When you self-reject, you put more value on others' thoughts and opinions than your own opinion of yourself.
Symptoms of self-rejection tend to evolve around self-punitive habits such as turning down or not accepting compliments, turning down opportunities you are being presented with, and bringing other people down based on things you see in yourself.
To overcome self-rejection, you must replace a bad habit with a good one. This means learning how to accept compliments, learning how to become less judgemental of others and yourself, and taking a chance on yourself when presented with great opportunities.

You’re scrolling on Instagram and stop dead in your tracks as you’re served an ad for a ‘new’ fitness product.
Except it’s not new…it’s a slightly sleeker product from 20 years ago that promises you abs of steel in 28 days. While it feels like we face a new fitness trend every week, it’s scary to think that the promise of a ‘quick fix’ is just being recycled over and over again.
In this episode of Habits & Hustle, I’m joined by Sal Di Stefano to reveal the truth behind some of the trends we’re (unfortunately) seeing re-emerge in the health and fitness space. We tackle intermittent fasting, not as a diet trend, but as a cultural practice. And break down how it's being used as another fast way to weight-loss despite its potential health risks, especially for women.
We also debunk a whole host of myths such as: sweat-equals-weight-loss, how much cardio you actually need, plant based ‘milks’ vs dairy milk, the politicization of the vegan diet, and how supplements can completely transform your personal health journey.
Sal Di Stefano is a personal trainer, co-founder of Mind Pump Media and co-host of Mind Pump, a podcast dedicated to providing truthful fitness and health information. Sal is dedicated to prioritizing health over appearance, and he aims to shift the direction of the fitness industry from aesthetic/insecurity based to one based in self-love and self-care.
What we discuss…
(00:01) - Breaking down the truth around major fitness trends
(10:32) - Are fake ‘milks’ actually better for you than dairy milk?
(17:02) - Collagen protein: is it worth the hype?

(38:36) - Does sweat actually equal weight loss? And how to fix your relationship with exercise

(53:17) - The need for exercise consistency over variety and the effects of caffeine on your training
(01:00:13) - How the use of supplements has transformed our personal health journeys
(01:10:34) - Why detaching yourself from the diet crazed culture is essential to long term health

Imagine going from the best day of your life…to the worst. In just a matter of hours.
That’s the reality of this week’s Habits & Hustle guest, Yadin Gellman.
Yadin is an actor who serves as a reservist in the Israeli military. He knows the painful reality of the Israel-Palestine conflict better than most, being on the front lines of October 7 and fighting for his life after being shot by Hamas fighters near the Gaza Strip.

Wow. Had to stop 20 minutes in while cleaning to grab a notebook and pen. This episode is jam-packed with facts. Jen, thank you for consistently advocating for the "average Joe" listeners of your podcast. Gary, thank you for sharing your wisdom to help people live healthier and longer lives. I'm a regular listener but adored this episode especially.
Sounds like an intriguing discussion on modern dating dynamics and the impact of social media! The question about whether someone's interest wanes if they stop watching your stories is relatable with https://copywritingpower.com/ site, and I'm curious to hear the insights shared in the episode. Navigating relationships in the digital age brings a whole new set of challenges, and the topics of curating feeds, muting accounts, and their effects on our interactions are definitely worth exploring. Looking forward to gaining some valuable perspectives from this episode! 📱💬
