Success is less about fleeting motivation and more about unwavering discipline. In this podcast episode of Fit in 42 Ryann and I have talked about 5 tips that can help you become disciplined in your life. Discipline is the key to long-term success, while motivation is often fleeting. Motivation can be a powerful initial force that propels us towards our goals, but it tends to ebb and flow with time. In contrast, discipline is the consistent commitment to a plan or a set of habits, regardless of whether motivation is present. Successful individuals understand that relying solely on motivation is unreliable, and they prioritize discipline as the driving force behind their accomplishments. So, while motivation may spark the journey, it's discipline that sustains it and ultimately paves the way for lasting success.

We have a very special guest with us on this podcast episode, Noelle Harford. She is from Fit in 42, La Quinta. Noel was once overweight and has now lost 100 pounds and still going on with her weight loss journey. Engaging in a consistent gym routine that includes lifting weights can bring about remarkable benefits for both physical and mental well-being. Strength training not only helps in building muscle mass and boosting metabolism but also enhances bone density and overall functional fitness. Complementing such workouts with a balanced diet is crucial. A diet rich in lean proteins, complex carbohydrates, and essential nutrients provides the necessary fuel for muscle recovery and growth. Additionally, staying hydrated and getting sufficient sleep supports the body's recovery process and optimizes performance. Striking a harmonious balance between exercise and nutrition is the key to achieving fitness goals and fostering a healthier lifestyle. Listen to this episode of Fit in 42 podcast episode to know more about her fitness journey! "When you see a change in your body or when people appreciate you for that, it really motivates you." - Noelle Harford "You look at others and compare, how they are so much better than you but you don't know how long they have been working out to reach there." - Gerry Washack   "There are food which is going to help you in your fitness journey and there are food which is not going to help you in your fitness journey." - Noelle Harford  "There should be a balance between mind, body soul" - Noelle Harford "There's never going to be a time when you'll not be stressed.

You all must have heard about dietary supplements. Supplements are dietary products intended to complement or enhance an individual's daily intake of essential nutrients, vitamins, minerals, or other beneficial substances.  Ryann and I have discussed about the same in this podcast episode of Fit in 42. While many people can meet their nutritional needs through a balanced diet, certain circumstances like restricted diets, medical conditions, or heightened physical demands may warrant the use of supplements. Popular examples include multivitamins, fish oil, probiotics, and protein powders. However, it is crucial to remember that supplements should never replace a wholesome diet, and their use should be guided by healthcare professionals to ensure safety and efficacy. As the popularity of supplements continues to rise, it is essential for individuals to make informed choices and prioritize their overall health and well-being. Tune in to this episode to know more about supplements. "You need to move." - Ryann McMillon "20 minutes of brisk walk takes nothing." - Ryann McMillon If you don't feel good, just go out and take a walk." - Gerry Washack  "We miss out on some supplements even if you are taking all the fruits and vegetables in your diet." - Gerry Washack  "You can take fish oil supplements even if you don't eat fish." - Ryann McMillon
