It feels good to feel good.😊

Today is day 46 of my daily movement streak.

Every morning, I have been doing some form of lifting, running, or biking to get my body moving first thing.

I did not set out to start a streak, but posting my daily movement in my Instagram story for a few days turned into a few weeks, and now I am not sure I will want to stop.

Momentum is powerful.🔥

Honestly, I cannot remember the last time I felt this good.

For the first time in over a year, I have no nagging pains.

I am sleeping better, feeling more energized, and managing stress more easily.

Daily morning movement has become my keystone health habit. It sets the tone for my entire day and naturally cascades into a bunch of other healthy habits.

It boosts my mood first thing in the morning and makes me genuinely happy to start the day.

It helps me keep my stress levels lower.

It ensures I am tired enough to fall asleep before 10 PM every night, so I consistently get 7.5 to 8 hours of sleep and still have time to train before work.

It also ensures that I “ate the mushrooms” early in the day (especially on leg day). That is my vegan version of “eating the frog” because I really do not like mushrooms. 😝😂

You do not need full rest days when you are listening to your body and training with variety.

Some days I crush a heavy leg day at the gym. Other days I jog two slow miles in 25 minutes.

The goal is simply to move my body every morning (more than a walk).

I will share more lessons learned from this journey soon, but honestly, I am feeling so good right now that I just wanted to share, in case it inspires you to move a little more too.

Thanks so much for reading. Wishing you a wonderful day! :blush:

Are you treating your health like a priority?

I get it. Life’s busy. Mine sure is.

I squeezed in a 25-minute workout this morning, and it reminded me:

You don’t need more time – just more intention.

Don’t let a packed schedule stop you from showing up for yourself.

❌ You don’t need an hour at the gym.
❌ You don’t need a perfect meal plan.
❌ You don’t need to do everything right.

You just need to do something.

For me, that could mean getting outside for a walk, doing some pushups in between meetings, or throwing together a simple, high-protein meal.

If you’ve been treating your health like an afterthought lately, do something small to flip the script today.

✅ Make a healthy meal.
✅ Take a 10-minute walk.
✅ Stretch between calls.
✅ Do 20 air squats.
✅ Swap the coffee for water.
✅ Get to bed a little earlier.

It doesn’t have to be perfect – it just has to happen.

Start small. Show up. Repeat. 🙌

Getting fit isn’t a punishment or a chore. ❌

It’s an opportunity and a privilege.

A chance to move your body in ways that feel good.

To eat food that actually gives you energy instead of leaving you feeling sluggish.

To feel a little more like yourself again – physically, mentally, emotionally.

The good news is that you don’t need to fix everything overnight.

All you have to do is take one small step in the right direction.

Go for a walk.

Take a deep breath.

Make a meal that makes you feel good.

That’s how it starts.

Trust me – your future self will be glad you did. 🙌

I had a rough night last night. Woke up at 2 am and couldn’t fall back asleep for almost 2 hours.

Definitely not how I wanted to kick off my day.

Originally, I planned an early morning leg workout at the gym, but sleeping in a bit left me tight on time.

It would have been easy to think, “If I can’t do the full workout, why bother at all?”

But instead, I decided to adapt and squeezed in a quick run on a nearby trail.

It felt SO good, and I’ve been cruising through my morning feeling super productive ever since.

Here’s why I’m sharing this:

I’m constantly reminding myself that fitness – and life – aren’t about perfect scenarios.

They’re about being flexible enough to adjust when things don’t go as planned.

Too often, we’re tempted to see progress as all-or-nothing, but that’s just not how it works. That’s the lie of perfectionism.

Even the smallest effort is infinitely better than doing nothing at all.

Adaptability isn’t just a helpful skill to have in life – it’s essential for long-term growth and success.

When you consistently choose small, imperfect actions, you create unstoppable momentum.

Keep adapting, keep showing up, and trust that each small effort moves you closer to your goals.

It’s just that simple… 👀

03/20/2025

I’m embarrassed to admit this… I’ve averaged just one workout per week for the past three months.

That’s not the standard I expect from myself. And as someone leading a health and fitness company, it’s tough to say out loud.

Last night, on a call with some of our clients, we reflected on our struggles and wins from the first quarter of the year. When it was my turn to share, I had to be real: my biggest struggle has been consistency in the gym.

Definitely felt some imposter syndrome.

I’ve had every excuse – work, fatigue, not enough time. But when I said out loud, “I’m going to get a workout in tomorrow morning,” something shifted.

This morning, I followed through. Not because I suddenly had more time or because life got less busy. But because I called myself out, made a plan, and leaned into accountability.

No surprise, the weights felt heavy and awkward. I stuck with 135 lb on deadlifts for all my working sets, which is normally just my super light first warm-up set weight.

But the win wasn’t about how strong I felt – it was about showing up, following through, and building momentum.

Here’s what I’ve been reminded of through this:

1) Accountability is HUGE. Surround yourself with people who will challenge you, support you, and call out your excuses. There’s something exciting and powerful about making commitments out loud.

2) Balance grace with discipline. Most of us know when we’re full of 💩 versus when life genuinely gets in the way of our best intentions. It’s not about being perfect – it’s about consistently showing up and improving over time.

3) Structure creates success. I know evening workouts don’t work for me. By the end of the day, I’m drained, and I don’t follow through. So I’m setting up my schedule to work WITH me, not AGAINST me. Morning workouts are the way forward.

If you’ve been struggling with consistency, ask yourself this: Do you have real accountability in your life? Are you being too hard or too easy on yourself? Have you structured your life to support your goals?

This morning, I showed up for myself. And I’m going to keep showing up.

Now it’s your turn. What’s one thing you’re committing to today?

Imagine pushing yourself harder than ever before – mentally, physically, and emotionally.

That’s exactly what happened at the 2025 Momentum Retreat in Zion. This wasn’t just a retreat – it was a test, an adventure, and a transformation.

We took on the Momentum Misogi, carrying the weight of our limiting beliefs – literally – and leaving them behind to prove that we are greater.

We powered through the Momentum Murph, running 2 miles with sandbags and completing hundreds of inverted rows, push-ups, and squats – proving our strength and resilience.

We faced the shock of an early morning cold plunge, training our minds to embrace discomfort instead of resisting it.

We hiked The Narrows, waded through icy waters, rappelled down slot canyons, and tore through the desert in UTVs, embracing every challenge thrown our way.

This wasn’t for the faint of heart. It was for those ready to step up, break through, and prove that they are stronger than their excuses.

To everyone who showed up, gave their all, and supported each other every step of the way – thank you.

You made this retreat unforgettable, and we are so grateful to have shared this experience with you.

You are NEVER FINISHED. 💥

I can’t be the only vegan that doesn’t eat vegan cheese, right? 😂

I saw this the other day and it made me laugh, super relatable!

I love vegan memes and might need to start posting them more often. I’m not sure who made this one, so DM me for credit 🙂
