🗓️ A plan can make or break if you do anything at all to move you forward. Have you taken the time to map out when you’ll work out and what you’ll eat to stay fueled and healthy? 🤔💭 Take just 5 minutes today to write down/ plan out intentional actions—big or small—that move you closer to the way you want to move, eat, and recover. Remember: progress is progress. For example, I planned to do 15 minutes of stretching today at 10:00. I’m going to find a youtube video so that I can just follow along and not think about it. I saw this post and liked it and think it goes well with planning small actions. 👇

1️⃣ List 3–5 wins from last week relevant to the 3 pillars of fitness (🍓Nutrition, ❤️‍🩹 Recovery, 🏋️ Training). 2️⃣ Highlight your #1 win — the one that had the most positive impact. 3️⃣ Identify the habit/behavior behind it. What action, mindset, circumstances, people, or any details lead to that win? 4️⃣ Decide how to repeat or amplify it. How can you carry that same habit into this week, or maybe at a slightly higher level? 5️⃣ Set 1 clear action oriented focus (relevant to 🍓❤️‍🩹🏋️) for this week. And put it in your calendar or somewhere you won’t forget. Post the picture in the comments!

"Do what you want, but make sure it actually gets you what you want." I started saying this a few years ago when I realized often times we make random decisions in an attempt to get something, but end up getting nothing due to the lack of clarity or direction randomness brings. 💭In my post asking what you'd like to learn more about, you wanted to know about a variety of topics which I will individually tackle in time, but if you and I were sitting down talking about what you were trying to do we would go through the following process to charter our course to success. 🎯Training with Specificity 🤔 Focusing your workouts, nutrition and recovery on one main goal propels your progress. SO FIRST, we need to establish what the one WILDLY IMPORTANT GOAL (WIG) is for you. 1️⃣ Start with the finding your Wildly Important and Specific Goal or the #1 Desire! Ask yourself: In 6 months, what’s the ONE thing I want to be different or added to my life that would impact me the most? - Fat loss? Why? When is that important for you to feel like you lost fat. - Strength? What are you trying to do? Why should you be stronger? - Endurance? Where you trying to go? - Training for a specific event? 5k, 10k, a hike? Skiing? - Wanting to feel more toned? Why? for who? Why does it matter? - Better sleep? Why? Do you wake up rested? Do you have a hard time falling asleep? - Perimenopause challenges? Weight gain? Restless? Hot flashes? What are you specifically experiencing and trying to overcome with this? - Fitting into a certain outfit? - Reducing fatigue at work? When do you not want to feel tired? - Looking/feeling a certain way for a vacation or wedding? Do you want to be able to break dance here? Why change for the event? ✅ The point is: get specific. Pick the goal that would have the biggest impact on YOUR day-to-day life. Pick something that is actionable and gets you what you actually want or you will do a bunch of work and realize you missed the mark of what you actually wanted.

One of the features on Skool is the ability to create classrooms—basically mini-courses that dive deep into specific topics. I want to build out and publish resources that are the most useful and relevant to YOU and what you’re out to accomplish. So, I want your input: -What topics would you like more information or resources on? -What roadblocks are you currently facing in your health and fitness journey? -What goals are you chasing right now, and what knowledge would help you get there faster? Remember, this group is built around our 3 Pillars of Fitness & Health so keep it relevant: 1️⃣ Training (strength, endurance, mobility, programming, etc.) 2️⃣ Nutrition (meal planning, macros, fueling performance, sustainable habits) 3️⃣ Recovery (sleep, stress management, mobility work, mindset, etc.) Your feedback will help me create classrooms and posts that answer your biggest questions and give you practical tools you can actually apply—not just theory and good reading. So, what’s been on your mind lately? Drop your thoughts below ⬇️

Perfect — your reflections really filled in the gaps. You’ve got this rich metaphor now: the grass, the ruts, the resistance, the spots that showed progress faster, the need to look forward instead of straight down, the mistakes that actually helped, the natural flow your body found. All of that maps beautifully to habits, training, and consistency. Progress Isn’t About Perfection, but it is about Consistency. Today, I ran 16 miles around a field that’s about a quarter mile loop. That’s 46 laps of the exact same ground. When I first started, it felt overwhelming. The grass was high in some spots, short in others, and I wondered if I’d ever wear down a path. The tallest, toughest patches of grass were the first places I started to see change — because they fought me the hardest. The easy, already-beaten-down spots took the longest to show progress. That struck me: the most resistance often shows the quickest results. Around mile 7, I finally started to see a path appear. It wasn’t perfect or clear everywhere, but it was enough to give me a direction. And here’s the thing — even the laps where I drifted off course still left a mark. They still helped define the edges of the path. The “mistakes” weren’t wasted effort. Something else I noticed: when I looked straight down at my feet, I couldn’t see the path at all. But when I lifted my head and looked ahead, the way forward became obvious. Same in life — if you’re staring at the ground, worried about each individual step, it’s hard to see progress. But when you look up, zoom out, and keep moving, the path starts to appear. Over time, my body naturally found more fluid routes. I adjusted around stumps, slopes, and obstacles without overthinking. Sometimes I even used downhill momentum to carry me through the uphill stretches — just like in training or nutrition, where you build momentum in one area and ride it through the tougher spots. What this run reminded me is simple: - Consistency isn’t about being exact every time. - It’s about showing up, repeating the effort, and letting the path form. - Mistakes don’t erase progress — they help shape it. - Something is always better than nothing. Numbers and consistency will always outweigh perfect rounds.
