Using the Mighty Health App for Exercise, Nutrition and Holistic Wellness

With age comes wisdom, right? But it also brings things like joints that creak and pop, a slowing metabolism and your back reminding you that you’re not 25 anymore. Working out can take more effort, and losing weight isn’t as easy as cutting back on the carbs for a couple of weeks. Add in health issues, you’re facing even more challenges in reaching your wellness and weight loss goals. This is where the Mighty Health app comes in.

When Mighty Health reached out to me to work on a collaboration for the app, I was intrigued. I’m not one who tells people my age. “Age is just a number” is a mantra…but I also say “life is short” all the time. The two can be contradictory, and I’ve had to finally start being okay with calling myself ‘midlife.’ I mean, I’ve got four young adult children and two grand babies.

Until my RA diagnosis last year, I was riding my Bowflex bike 4-5 days a week for 10-15 miles a ride. We hiked the local mountains. I would trek long walks at Disney and NASCAR races and didn’t let anything get in the way. I also was starting to deal with back aches, weight being harder to take off than prior, and my grey hairs were getting more stubborn to take color. It was time to admit, without embarrassment, that I’m midlife.

I’ve been getting AARP mailers for years, but once I came to terms with my age being a thing to celebrate, not hide, I opened one. Oh the discounts available! It’s not even a money thing, but I will always be happy to save money when I can. I also like the idea of being part of a group of people that are dealing with similar issues, and we midlife people aren’t ones to be messed with.

The Mighty Health app is focused on helping you find your own personalized path to health and wellness, utilizing workout options, educational articles and online webinars, motivational quotes, a food log and so much more. You choose the tracks you like – lessons, workouts, etc. — and the app customizes each day’s goals for you. Sign in to your Mighty Health app, and your Mighty Health day appears before you. Click on each goal individually throughout your day, and when you’ve completed them all, it counts as another Might Day, which goes towards your Achievement badges.

The app also syncs with your phone’s health app to track your steps, if you choose to allow it. Do weight check-ins to help follow your weight loss or gain.

Cool Features of the Mighty Health App

I really like the motivational badges — it’s great to see them add up, and if they aren’t increasing, then I can see the areas in which I need to improve. Like steps. With RA, there are ‘flares,’ where joint pain, discomfort or exhaustion is worse. On these days, I don’t walk as much. It’s something I very much need to work on, and the Mighty Health app helps keep me honest.

The food log is another real bonus. It utilizes a color coding system: green (eat a lot of), yellow (eat in moderation, as it’s not great for you) and red (avoid if possible). Once you’ve entered enough into the app, it will give you important data about your diet and where you can make recommended nutritional changes.

But my favorite part? My personal Might App health coach. She texts me to check-in. Asks me how I’m doing. Provides me motivation and answers…and it’s a real person. She emailed me a incredibly thorough nutritional guide. She provides answers that I need, when I need them…and without me feeling compelled to do anything that I don’t want to do. It’s ideal.

The app also offers a Community tab, where you can meet others with similar goals, share recipes and ideas, talk about your successes and challenges, just like you’re talking with someone on social media but with the trust knowing that you’re really only speaking with people who are in it like you are. That’s a great feeling!

As a huge Marvel fan, I have a few things around the house that have the “I am mighty!” quote on them…including the license plate of my car. To become part of a community and program that is entitled Mighty Health? It’s like a sign! Thanks to this collaboration, I now have several pieces of Mighty Health gear to wear in my workouts. They sent me a super-soft fleece hoody, a really comfortable sports bra (and ladies, we ALL know that it can be hard to find a comfortable one that we can still put on and take off when we’re a little stiff or sore), a pair of workout shorts and yoga pants/leggings.

Ladies, you know how hard it is to find a good sports bra, and men, you’ll never understand the torture that it can be to get that tight, lycra thing on and then peel it off when it’s sweaty, because you need it snug enough to do its job. Let me just say this: this is THE most comfortable sports bra I’ve ever worn. It didn’t pull my shoulders out of my sockets to put it on, it did its job, and while I’m not a super-sweaty person, it did wick away moisture so I stayed comfortable when riding my indoor bike. And that hoodie? SO soft. The bra is a large, the hoodie is also (a medium fits but I like some bagginess to things) and the shorts are a medium. Also cool: when riding my bike, I can look down and the logo is right-side up for me, reminding me that yes, I AM mighty.

There are days that working out, or getting any level of exercise, is less than appealing. Once I put on the clothes though, I feel like I’m committed. If the gear feels good to wear, I’m so much more likely to put it on. The Mighty Health app also has a Shop tab, so you can purchase your own attire and other Mighty items.

This app is AARP’s #1 health app. Given how many members AARP is, that’s saying something. And friends, don’t let that AARP word bother you — retirement doesn’t need to happen only at 67. AARP is for anyone 50 years of age and beyond. Age really is just a number, and why wouldn’t you be okay with a membership that provides resources, discounts on things you use every day, programs suited for you, and things like this Mighty Health app. It’s the first app, in fact, designed for this purpose for people over 50! I’m over the stigma of flashing that card, now that I see how much money I save on other things.

Using the app is easy! Use my affiliate link to join HERE. Download the app to your phone from that link, open and get started. Enjoy a free 7-day trial, and then decide if you want to pay monthly or annually, which offers a discount. Once you really take advantage of the perks in the app, I think you’ll want to subscribe. Get those workouts in, see what areas of your food and beverage intake need work, and learn about wellness in a holistic way. It’s a win-win.

Disneyland Paris is celebrating its 30th anniversa Disneyland Paris is celebrating its 30th anniversary this year, and walking through the gates for our first visit was amazing. Also amazing: the Phantom Mansion. It has a lot of similarities to our Haunted Mansion here in California, but with a scarier spin. And for those who frequent the HM here in Anaheim, you know how often it stops mid-ride. This one didn’t stop once! It also creeped me out, and I LOVED it. The outside has shades of the Bates Motel and doesn’t have the cute factor of Disneyland California. Newer and more cleanly laid out, this whole park is pretty amazing. More info coming here and on the blog soon. Still gathering photos and putting away/distributing souvenirs.

A day in the French countryside is the stuff dream A day in the French countryside is the stuff dream vacations are made of. We drove two hours to Chablis, with new friends from Austin (private tour groups are the best!) and visited several wineries. Full confession: we tapped out early. ALL of us. So much wine. I should be embarrassed by that…maybe…but I’m not. We had an amazing French cuisine me lunch mid-day, where we enjoyed more wine. I’ll share lunch photos later. 

You save and plan so much for international travel, you need to try and relax and enjoy it. Not always easy, especially if your tour guide is sleepy or there are protests blocking the airport entry the day before you leave, but this pic kind of exemplifies our adventure. Go as far as you can. Do things you love. Be silly. And appreciate your partner’s goofy photo poses. 😆 Most of all, have fun. And drink wine.

That time, not long ago, that I spent my birthday That time, not long ago, that I spent my birthday feeding the giraffes. Bucket list ✅

Do the things you dream of. Wear the silly ears. Giggle like a kid. 

Life is way too short. There are only so many days to do all those things you’ve wanted to do. Make those memories. 

And feed the giraffes. This event is a private add-on when you visit the park. Reservations are required in advance. Worth every single penny….and I can’t wait to do it again.

Shuri was out on a walk with Dad, but for Lady Sif Shuri was out on a walk with Dad, but for Lady Sif, patience is a work in progress. This is how our goofy but lovable big girl waited for her turn.

And yes, kids grow up so we dote on the pups now. Why not? Lots of rescues available out there waiting for forever homes!

The recipe for that deliciousness is below! After The recipe for that deliciousness is below! After an overindulgent holiday season…and a whole lot of excuses…I’ve finally been working on adding more protein into my diet to drop a few pounds before we head to Paris next week. One of my favorite meals — or meal replacement, call it what you will — is a protein shake. They can be made in so many ways, all depending on what basics you have on hand. I try to keep mine simple, using whatever fruit I have in the drawer. Right now, thanks to Melissa’s Produce, I have Ojai Pixie tangerines to enjoy, so I decided to craft a super easy protein smoothie. I feel full, it gives me a protein boost and I only have to clean out the blender. Easy peasy.

Ojai Pixie Protein Smoothie

1 frozen banana
1/2 cup ice
1 scoop of protein powder
1/3 cup Greek yogurt
1 cup almond milk 
1/2 tsp vanilla
2 Ojai Pixies tangerines, peeled and sectioned

Blend in a powerful blender and serve with a fatty straw. If you don’t puree it, you’ll have some little chunks of citrus that will clog a regular straw, but for me, that makes it even better. 

Thick, cold, chunky, tangy citrus perfection. Grab some Ojai Pixie Tangerines soon! They’re only available through early June!

So you may have heard about a little storm that hi So you may have heard about a little storm that hit Southern California this past week. For the first time in the ten years in our house here in the foothills of the Inland Empire, our grass was covered in big, fat white chunks of snow. And it was amazing. As you can see, Lady Sif loved it. She was trying to catch the, uhm, flakes…she rolled around and kept staring at the sky. I mean, who wasn’t? This was crazy. 

It posed a few problems. People here can barely drive in the rain. Our roads aren’t built for this much wet, and potholes were popping up everywhere. One drop of rain and people slow down, but snow was a beautiful distraction…so you see where I’m going. 

We may start to dry out after today. It’s sunny and there’s this blue in the sky that I’ve forgotten about, it’s been so long. But, it was hailing an hour ago and my backyard is still a mini-pond which the dogs will do anything to avoid when they have to go potty…which they put off as long as they can.

We’re from NY, so we’re not new to snow. We’re just acclimated to a climate that has us much more prepared for 100+ degree weather, not this constant low 40s. The layers of clothes, the hot showers and the extra blankets are getting old. Here’s to spring.
