We made it to the end of the 14 day habits build challenge 👏 But our mission to get (and stay) strong and lean doesn’t stop here. We’re building eating and training systems, aka lifestyles, that last a lifetime because that’s the most effective way to getting results, keeping them, and not suffering in the process. Share a win this round of the habit builder challenge helped you with👇 Check out my closing pep talk below on how to keep the momentum going post-challenge!

We will miss. It's normal. “Never miss twice" doesn’t mean punishing yourself or unrealistic expectations. And it definitely doesn’t mean doubling today’s work because you missed yesterday! It means adjust. -Shift expectations from eating perfectly healthy towards more protein and a just a little more veggies -Shorten the workout session. -Just do something incredibly small: more water, 10 minutes earlier bedtime. JUST DON'T QUIT. What helps us the most in this season of life = RESILIENCE. It means The SPEED OF RECOVERY. Life inevitably knocks us off course. How quickly can we get back to what we're building? How I'm RECOVERING FASTER: – Dropping the stressful self-criticism (stress keeps us fatter and weaker) – Cut the strength training session commitment to 5 minutes – Learning the skill of saying "I'm sorry, no, I cannot" (minus the guilt) – A kid, a coach, a girlfriend, an AI-agent🤔 accountability partner! Think about a time where you got "knocked off course" and your eating and training suffered. What did you do then and what would you do now? Share below- it will help someone else.😉

Tracking is a brain hack. It gives data points so we know what to work on instead of guessing. Seeing visual progress serves as encouragement to keep going!! 30 seconds a day for a low effort, high return on investment practice: A calendar on your bathroom mirror. A Pen to jot down your progress. The small amount of effort you put in now can save future you from loads of headaches: less incontinence, less frailty, more independence. You’re becoming the woman who still hikes, lifts, travels, and plays with her grandkids at 70. What’s one thing you’ve been winging that tracking could make automatic for you? Drop it below. 👇

Our floor = our non negotiable Basically, guardrails for when life starts life-ing… so hard seasons (injury, illness, work chaos, heartbreak etc) don’t turn into hard months. Protecting our floor means staying on course (it’s never a straight line) long enough to get better …. in how we look, how we feel, and how strong we become!! What’s your non-negotiable for days/weeks when “💩 hits the fan”?

Your bandwidth is already full: -Work deadlines -Kids activites -Paying the bills and the home repairs/renovations The last thing you need, is to have to make more decisions ... "What should I eat/cook?" "Which workout class is the best for by body goals and my budget?" "What's the best time to workout? Fastest workouts or fed? What should I wear?" .... you get it. A decision can act like a barrier to health. Often times if we can't decide, we default to inaction.☹️ Where can you make life easier this week so eating and training feels easier to start?
