#84 - My Friends Say I'm Obsessed With My Health + No Time in September

Your friends say you've become obsessed since you started taking your health seriously. Are they right? And what do you do when September hits and you have no time between work and the kids' schedules? We break down what "obsessed" really means, why consistency can make the people around you uncomfortable, and how to honestly check whether there's any truth to it. We cover a simple self-assessment for whether what you're doing is sustainable, how to respond when someone calls you obsessed, and why the decisions you make in your 40s shape the quality of your life in your 70s. Then, we get into the September squeeze. We share how to adjust the levers instead of going all or nothing, why one full-body workout every three to five days still adds up, and a realistic plan for workouts, meal prep, steps, and me time when life is chaotic. **Find out more about coaching with us here:** [⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠**⁠rosentrain.com/coaching⁠**⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠](rosentrain.com/coaching) Follow Daniel on Instagram: [⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠instagram.com/rosentrain/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠](instagram.com/rosentrain/) Follow Santo on Instagram: [⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠instagram.com/santo.chiappetta/⁠⁠](instagram.com/santo.chiappetta/) Santo's podcast: https://open.spotify.com/episode/0j5QaIeN86dg8nnLfum7d5?si=IA7EJxGrTB-LCheO5FCFww **Timestamps:** 00:00 Question 1: My friends think I'm obsessed 00:55 What "obsessed" actually means 01:29 Why friends call it obsession 04:02 Is there any truth to it? 05:25 Devotion vs. martyrdom: putting kids first without neglecting yourself 08:29 Do you want their life? 10:52 What real obsession looks like 13:41 Outgrowing friends and finding your people 17:09 Self-assessment: is it sustainable? 18:07 How to respond when someone says you're obsessed 20:15 Your why: investing in your health now 23:21 Strength that carries over into real life 27:12 Question 2: No time for myself in September 28:38 Seasons of life and adjusting the levers 31:01 One full-body workout every three to five days 33:59 Smartwatches and tech-free walks 36:37 Compartmentalising work and rest 40:42 A realistic plan: workouts, meal prep, steps and me time This podcast provides general fitness and nutrition information only.
