🌟 FOUNDATIONAL SUPPORT FOR YOUR HEALTH GOALS

Starting a new health routine? You need the right foundation!

Think of supplements like training gear - you want quality basics that support your efforts, not fancy extras that don't work.

My 'Fabulous 5' foundational supplements support:

✅ Energy production
✅ Recovery and repair
✅ Overall wellness
✅ Immune function

Perfect whether you're just starting your health journey OR looking to optimize what you're already doing well (like my Patagonia training prep!).

Motivation Monday!

🎒 PACK WEIGHT PROGRESS: From 0 lbs to 6 lbs and counting!

This week I'm adding more weight to my training pack - simulating what I'll actually carry in Patagonia.

Started with NO weight in November during my Zone 2 sessions. Now I'm up to 6 lbs and feeling strong! 💪

The principle? PROGRESSIVE OVERLOAD. Your body adapts, so you gradually increase the challenge.

This applies to EVERYTHING:

• More steps this week than last
• Heavier groceries up the stairs
• One extra push-up
• 5 more minutes of walking

Small increases = Big results over time.

What's one thing you could 'add weight' to this week? 🤔

💧 DID YOU KNOW? Your p*e is like a health report card!

Pale yellow = You're winning at hydration! 🏆
Dark yellow = Time to drink up! 💦
Clear = Maybe ease up on the water?
Dark amber = Houston, we have a problem! 🚨

Fun fact: Pure water without minerals can actually dilute your electrolyte levels. Add a pinch of sea salt or grab some quality electrolytes!

This matters for my Patagonia training - proper hydration with minerals = no cramping during long hikes!

What's your hydration game like? Honest answers only! 😄

YOUR IMMUNE SYSTEM NEEDS TRAINING TOO!

While I'm training my body for Patagonia (hiking adventure in March!), don't forget to train your immunity for winter:

💤 SLEEP 7-9 hours (when your body repairs)
🚶 MOVE daily (even 20 minutes boosts immunity)
🧘 MANAGE stress (chronic stress suppresses immunity)
🌈 EAT the rainbow (colorful foods = diverse nutrients)

January Action: Pick ONE to focus on this month. Master it, then add another in February.

📈 TRAINING UPDATE: The spreadsheet doesn't lie!

Week 8 of Patagonia prep and my heart rate data is showing real improvements:

• Sp*ed increased to 3.0 mph while my heart rate stayed the same (~130 bpm) — that means I'm getting fitter!

• Recovery improved — my heart rate drops faster after hard intervals (cardiac drift down to +8-9 bpm)

Translation: I can work harder without my heart working harder. That's what cardiovascular fitness looks like! 💪

Context: I'm hiking Patagonia in March and needed to improve my cardiovascular fitness. Started tracking everything in November because I'm a data nerd! 📊

The power of tracking? You can't argue with numbers! Even small improvements add up to big changes.

Are you tracking anything for your health goals? It could be steps, sleep, mood, energy - whatever matters to YOU.

What gets measured gets improved!

January 1st: 'I'm going to work out every day!'

January 17th: 'Does walking to the fridge count as cardio?' 😂

We've all been there! The key isn't perfection - it's getting back on track without the guilt spiral.

Fun fact: I used to HATE cardio so much I'd rather do anything else. Now I'm training for a Patagonia hiking adventure! Sometimes the things we resist most are exactly what we need.

🎯 FORGET 'NEW YEAR, NEW ME' - Here's how to set goals that actually STICK:

The SMART-ER Method:

📌 SPECIFIC: 'Walk 30 minutes daily' vs 'exercise more'
📊 MEASURABLE: Track steps, weight, or energy levels
🎯 ACHIEVABLE: Start with 3 days/week, not 7
💡 RELEVANT: Choose goals that matter to YOUR life
⏰ TIME-BOUND: 30-day challenges work better than year-long
🔄 EVALUATE: Weekly check-ins to adjust as needed
🔧 READJUST: Flexibility prevents all-or-nothing thinking

I'm using this exact method for my Patagonia training. Started simple in November - one 30-minute cardio session and one hour of Zone 2 work per week. Now I'm seeing real improvements!

Which part of SMART-ER resonates most with you?

🏔️ NEW NEWSLETTER IS LIVE!
I'm sharing something personal - my Patagonia hiking adventure in March and what training for it has taught me about setting health goals that actually stick.
In March, I'll be hiking through Patagonia (yes, really!). But here's the thing - 3 months ago, I HATED cardio. Give me weights any day!
But having a big goal changes everything. Now I'm tracking heart rate data in spreadsheets and actually seeing improvements!
The lesson? You don't have to love something to get good at it. You just need a system.

UNPOPULAR OPINION: You've been celebrating New Year wrong your entire life 🤯
January 1st? Completely arbitrary.
December 21st? When light LITERALLY returns to Earth.

Ancient China knew it.
But somehow we forgot and started following a random calendar date instead 🤦‍♀️
This year, do it the way civilizations that built wonders did it.
Who's ready to revolutionize their resolutions? 🙋‍♀️
