Set the tone for an amazing week ahead by committing to small, intentional actions that bring you closer to your goals.

What will YOU commit to this week?

Take a moment to reflect on your goals, whether they’re fitness, nutrition, mindset, or personal development, and think about what you can do in the next 7 days to move the needle forward.

Here’s how to make your intentions count:

Make Them SMART 

✔️ Specific: Clearly define what you’re going to do. (e.g., “I will drink 8 glasses of water daily” instead of “I’ll drink more water.”)

✔️ Measurable: How will you track your progress? (e.g., Write down your daily steps or meals in a journal.)

✔️ Attainable & Action-Based: Focus on actions you can realistically take. (e.g., “I’ll do 3 strength workouts this week” instead of “I’ll lose 5 pounds.”)

✔️ Realistic: Be honest about what fits into your lifestyle. (e.g., A 10-minute workout is better than none at all.)

✔️ Time-Bound: Set a deadline—this week! (e.g., “I’ll complete my workouts by Saturday.”)

"Focus on the BEHAVIORS, the RESULTS will come."

The weekend is here! And often that makes it more difficult for us to stay on track with our healthy habits. Don't let the weekend win. Stay focused & keep working towards your goals.

1. Plan ahead for meals & social events
2. Move your body
3. Don't treat the weekend as a free for all
4. Hydrate & sleep well
5. Set non food related rewards

Feeling overwhelmed by your fitness and nutrition goals? In this episode, we’ll explore why small steps matter, how to avoid the all-or-nothing trap, and why slowing down can actually help you make lasting progress, especially during the post-resolution slump.

Six years ago (on January 1, 2019!), I started Inspire Health & Wellness with a Facebook page & a flyer. As I reflect on the past 6 years I am grateful that the 38 year old version of myself took messy action & just got started.

If you have been contemplating change, remember that it is okay if it feels scary. But waiting won't make it feel any less scary. The step you take today is worth the uncomfortable feeling you have. Take the step, make the flyer! Just get started.

Reflecting on the past is essential for personal growth & can be of great value as we prepare to start the New Year & set intentions.

As we approach the Holidays in the week ahead many of you have a lot of demands on you, including shopping, wrapping, decorating, cooking...

Don't let the hustle of the Holidays derail your progress. Keep your fitness a priority & remember that a short workout is always better than none at all.

“A little progress each day adds up to big results. Even the smallest effort today is a step toward the stronger, healthier you tomorrow.”

I committed to 30 days of no alcohol in the month of November. I am not an alcoholic, but I do recognize that consuming alcohol has many negative health affects. I have been mindful & intentional with my alcohol consumption more so as I have gotten older, & the benefits I experience from being alcohol free are pretty incredible.
