Hey you, For two weeks I did everything right. Hit the gym six days. Protein every meal. Water like it was my job. And the scale gave me a grand total of… 1.3 pounds. If I’d only had the scale, I would’ve quietly assumed nothing was happening. Maybe even quit being so strict about it. Then I got the data. And the data told a completely different story. Let’s get into it. One Thing to Think About This Week The thing that’s been rattling around my brain: the proof is almost never where you’re...

Hey you, Okay, I don’t even know where to start this week. It was one of those weeks that looked normal on the outside… gym, work, kid bedtimes, all the things but on the inside, something shifted. I went to an event I almost talked myself out of going to and I came home with pages of notes and a few thoughts I haven’t been able to shake. Let’s get into it. One Thing to Think About This Week “Time is flying. You have to pay attention or you’ll miss it.” I keep saying it out loud hoping it’ll...

Hey you, For months, I kept seeing fun things online, like events, classes, experiences and my first instinct was always to find someone to go with. And every single time, it was either too far or the schedules just wouldn’t line up. So I wouldn’t go. And I kept not going. Over and over. Meanwhile, my job mentioned a gym nearby. Nine minutes from me. Classes every day, 14 class formats so you never know what you’re walking into, but multiple class times each day with availability that...

Hey you, What a week? Am I right? What’s up with the weather in Austin? Rain, shine, rain, rain, rain…. but hey, my grass is thriving… and wet. The week didn’t go exactly as planned. But honestly? The pivots were the best parts. Let’s get into it. One Thing to Think About This Week When your plan falls apart, the pivot is the plan. My bike ride got cancelled this week. Weather. And for a split second I almost let that be the reason I stayed home. Instead, I kept the mindset of, “you have GOT...

Hey you. This week had everything. Early alarms and late nights. A birthday party that genuinely was a one of a kind. A fitness week I'm actually proud of. And a moment where I finally stopped stalling and just opened the laptop. Let's get into it. One Thing to Think About This Week I built a one year visualization this week and it kind of wrecked me in the best way. Not a vision board. Not a goals list. An actual written out picture of what my life looks and feels like one year from now if I...

Hey you. Week one is done. Ninety days felt huge when I said it out loud. It still does. But I showed up Monday. Then Tuesday. Then all the way through… workouts, food tracked, morning routine, the whole thing. Seven days later I’m sitting here like… okay. We can actually do this. This weeks focus was on building the habit of tracking food and being mindful of what I put into my body. Let’s get into it. One Thing to Think About This Week Steve Furtick wrote something in Do The New You that...

Hey you, I’ve been thinking about this all week. Jim Rohn said it like this: when you act like you are your best, you reprogram yourself. The more you do it, what started as an act eventually becomes natural. You don’t wait to feel ready. You act ready. And then one day… you are. I needed that. Because this week I walked into a new gym three times, signed up for an 8-week challenge, rethought how we feed our family and decided to start a 90-day fitness chapter starting tomorrow. None of it...

Hey you, I watched a video Monday morning standing in my bathroom, suitcase half-packed, about to head to Chicago for a work trip. The message was simple: The most important thing is that you are alive. That when you look at the clock and see the time, you also remember, I am here. Because a lot of people who were alive yesterday aren’t today. I teared up a little. Felt it deep. And then by Tuesday night… barely 36 hours later, I had already forgotten it. That’s what this week is about. One...

Hey you, It's April. Which, honestly, feels illegal. Didn't we just do January? Let’s just hop right in. One Thing to Think About This Week This quote from Nick Komodina that I just HAD to share… "If you have a message or a calling that you feel is needed in this world, then it is your obligation to make yourself seen. When you withdraw from your true self and your message, the people who need you can't find you." It's about the person on the other end who is waiting for exactly what you have...
