Have you ever been eating right, working out consistently, and doing all the "right" things, only to feel like nothing is changing? You’re not alone! In this episode of Fit and Fierce After 40, I’m diving into one of the most common frustrations: when progress feels slow.
We’ll explore why progress can seem elusive, why the scale isn’t always the best measure of success, and how to stay motivated even when results take time. Plus, I’ll share my top tips for tracking wins beyond the scale and celebrating the small victories that add up to big changes over time.
