One Obsession At A Time

What My Habit Tracker Is Teaching Me | Healthy Habits, Intermittent Fasting & Why I'm Questioning Fitness Myths

Mon, 22 Jun 2026 12:01:06 GMT

This week on One Obsession At A Time, I'm sharing a real-life habit tracker check-in and reflecting on what's actually sticking... and what's quietly falling away.

We'll chat about my current obsessions, including walking 10,000 steps, daily movement and improving my sleep, plus why I'm questioning whether eating breakfast is the best choice for me and considering a return to intermittent fasting.

I also share something that surprised me from a fitness podcast I listened to this week: the popular idea of a "cortisol belly" may not be as straightforward as social media makes it seem. It got me thinking about how easy it is to believe health trends without stopping to ask whether they're backed by good evidence.

In this episode, we cover:

✨ My weekly habit tracker accountability check-in

✨ Which healthy habits are becoming automatic

✨ What's falling off (and why that's okay)

✨ My thoughts on intermittent fasting and eating breakfast

✨ The truth behind the "cortisol belly" trend

✨ Why I'm learning to observe my habits instead of judging them

✨ One simple challenge to help you become your future self this week

If you've ever struggled with consistency, wondered why some habits stick while others don't, or felt overwhelmed by conflicting health advice, I hope this episode reminds you that lasting change comes from curiosity, not perfection.

If you're enjoying the podcast, I'd love it if you'd follow, rate and review. And if you'd like to join our monthly book club and hear the bonus episodes where we're reading Tiny Habits together, come and join us over on Patreon.

What My Habit Tracker Taught Me This Week | One Obsession At A Time

Fri, 19 Jun 2026 10:07:57 GMT

This week I'm sharing a real-life update on my habits, routines and future self journey. I talk through my current obsessions, including habit tracking, meal prep and Clean With Me podcasts, and reveal the surprising pattern I discovered when reviewing my habit tracker.

Spoiler: I hadn't hit my protein goal once.

Instead of starting over, I used the data to make a simple change. In this episode, I share how I used habit tracking, meal planning and a little help from ChatGPT to create a practical system that makes healthy choices easier.

If you're tired of relying on motivation and want to make progress through small, consistent actions, this episode is for you.

In this episode:

My current obsessions
What my habit tracker revealed
Why I started meal prepping
How I planned my meals using resources I already had
The Clean With Me podcast habit stack
A simple Future Self Challenge for the week

Why Some Habits Stick (And Others Don't)

Mon, 15 Jun 2026 09:34:26 GMT

🎙️ Which Habits Are Actually Surviving? | Tiny Habits, Habit Tracking & Becoming Your Future Self

This week on One Obsession At A Time, I'm doing a real-life habit tracker check-in and asking an interesting question: which habits are actually surviving... and which ones are quietly disappearing?

Inspired by this week's reading of Tiny Habits by BJ Fogg, I'm sharing what I've noticed about building healthy habits, creating lasting routines, and letting go of all-or-nothing thinking. We'll chat about my current focus on 10,000 steps, daily movement and improving my sleep habits, plus why I no longer think a habit tracker is a report card—it's data.

If you've ever struggled to stay consistent, waited for motivation to arrive, or felt like you're constantly starting over, this episode is for you.

In this episode, we cover:
✨ My weekly habit tracker accountability check-in
✨ Which habits are becoming part of my identity
✨ Why some habits stick and others don't
✨ What Tiny Habits is teaching me about consistency
✨ How to stop judging yourself and start getting curious
✨ One small challenge to help you become your future self this week

One Obsession At A Time is the podcast for women who want to build a beautiful life through small, slightly magical obsessions—one tiny habit at a time.

From ADF → Whole 30 (and why this isn’t failure)

Mon, 04 May 2026 10:40:26 GMT

I’m not doing ADF anymore!

and no, this isn’t a failure episode. In this one, I’m sharing what actually happened when I went all-in on alternate day fasting, what it taught me, and why I’ve chosen to move on.

This podcast isn’t about sticking to one thing forever, but rather about following what works, learning from it, and evolving. I’m now stepping into a Whole30-style approach, and this feels like the next obsession for a reason.

Alternate Day Fasting isn't Linear, Babes - It's a Cycle

Fri, 14 Nov 2025 09:31:09 GMT

In this episode, I’m breaking down one of the biggest mindset shifts we all need in Alternate Day Fasting:
✨ ADF isn’t a straight line — it’s a cycle.

We don’t “arrive.” We don’t graduate. We don’t hit a finish line.
We move through seasons, rhythms, wobbles, wins, resets and returns… and every loop grows us a little bit more.

If you’ve ever felt like you “fell off,” “started over,” or “ruined everything,” this episode will calm your nervous system and bring you straight back into the truth:
You’re not failing — you’re cycling.

We talk about:
🌀 Why linear thinking sabotages ADF
🌀 How to understand your wobble phase
🌀 Why every loop makes you stronger
🌀 What circular fasting actually looks like in real life
🌀 The mindset shift that will change everything

If you’re deep in your ADF journey (or wobbling hard), this episode will make you feel seen, normal, and back in your power.

Let’s dive in, my fellow obsessives — we’re doing this together. 💛🌀
