Hey there. This morning, after a short workout, I found myself at McDonald’s. Not because I planned to, but because I was out of my usual breakfast ingredients. Normally, I have a sausage sandwich on a thin bun with cheese, half an avocado, sweet peppers, a banana, a Kind bar, some dark chocolate, and peanut butter. But today, I was out of sausage patties.
Hey there. There’s a lot of talk in the fitness and wellness space about doing what works for you. And for the most part, that’s a great mindset. You should build a plan that fits your life. But when it comes to health, fitness, and weight loss, there are certain non-negotiables. No matter how you choose to approach them, you can’t just skip the essentials.
Hey there. If you’ve been on and off with your fitness journey, feeling like you're constantly on "The Struggle Bus," it’s time to park that bus for good. No more starting and stopping, no more feeling stuck. Today, I want to talk about how you can not only hit your minimum daily actions but go beyond them every single day.
Hey there. This is the 30th episode of the podcast, and I just want to take a moment to say thank you. Whether you’ve been here since episode one or you’re just tuning in, I appreciate you being part of this journey. When I started, my goal was simple—just to show up consistently and share my thoughts. And that’s exactly what this podcast is becoming.
Hey there. We’ve all heard it before—“it takes 21 days to form a habit.” But the reality is, developing long-term habits takes much longer. If you stick to something for 21 days, you’re only just getting to the point where life is about to throw you a curveball. And that’s when you’ll find out if you’ve truly built a habit or if you were just following a temporary routine.
Hey there. If you’ve ever struggled with calorie counting, you’re not alone. Maybe you’ve tried tracking before and felt frustrated, or maybe you’re considering it now but aren’t sure where to start. The good news is, there’s a way to make it work without the stress of hitting a perfect number every day.
Hey there. We’re in March, and that means it’s time to check in on those New Year’s resolutions. Most people start the year with big goals, especially around weight loss and fitness. They see January as a fresh start and make commitments to change their habits. The problem? Most of those resolutions don’t last more than a couple of weeks.
Hey there. Mondays have a reputation. Scroll through your feed, walk into your office, or overhear a conversation at the coffee shop, and you’ll hear the same thing—people dreading the start of the week, complaining about having to go back to work, and counting down the days until the weekend. But what if you approached Monday differently? What if, instead of seeing it as something to get through, you saw it as an opportunity?
Hey there. We hear it all the time—just love yourself. But for many people, especially those on a weight loss or fitness journey, jumping straight to self-love can feel impossible. If you’ve spent years struggling with how you see yourself, trying to force self-love can feel like just another thing you’re failing at.
Hey there. There is no one-size-fits-all when it comes to health and fitness. Yet, so many people get caught up in following rigid plans that weren’t designed for them. Maybe you’ve tried programs created by athletes, bodybuilders, or fitness influencers who have a completely different lifestyle and background. These programs might be marketed as the perfect solution, but the truth is, they weren’t built for you.
Hey there. If you’re stepping on the scale every day and letting that number dictate your mood, your motivation, or even your self-worth, it’s time for a shift in mindset. The scale is just a tool, a piece of information. That’s it. Yet, for so many people, it becomes the end-all, be-all of progress.
Hey there. You’ll hear a lot of people say that you’re in competition with yourself when it comes to fitness and weight loss. But I think that mindset is completely wrong. You are not battling yourself. If you go into this with the mindset that you’re constantly trying to outwork, outsmart, or out-discipline yourself, you’re going to lose eventually.
Hey there. This morning, instead of going to the gym, I decided to get some steps in at home. What made this different was that I didn’t have any music, podcasts, or videos playing in the background. It was just me and my thoughts. As I walked, I found myself reflecting on the previous day, thinking about what I had planned for today, and considering the bigger picture of what’s ahead.
Hey there. We all make choices that, in hindsight, we wish we had handled differently. Maybe you skipped a workout, overindulged at a meal, or let a stressful day completely throw you off track. The truth is, none of us are perfect. No one follows their plan flawlessly. The real question isn’t whether you’ll make a misstep—it’s how fast you can get back to what you were doing before.
