4/1: Goals and Mindset
Setting fitness and life goals are important for purpose, motivation, and having benchmarks set so you can celebrate milestones to avoid burnout. Although there are so many positives to setting goals, there is a downside as well. What I learned from reading The Power of Discipline, by Daniel Walter was the term called the yo-yo […]
3/27: Week split?
My “week split” consists of chest, 2 leg days – one focused on quads and one on hamstrings, back, shoulders, and a bicep/triceps day. I structure the week where I move around muscle groups enough so that when my chest is sore, I hit my back or legs or vice versa. This schedule leaves me […]
3/23: Diet and food-prep
I enjoy keeping a set diet since it makes grocery shopping, food prep and planning easier. Every week when I go to the grocery store, I know exactly which route I take through the isles and how much it will cost. I enjoy switching proteins up or trying something new occasionally, but I tend to […]
3/21: Make it flow!

3/17: My system and its benefits
To better explain how I set my weeks out, every Sunday is important for my week. Each Sunday I update the 4 separate documents that I keep on my notes. I’m a pretty ADHD person so when my mind drifts, or I get caught up in activities that aren’t working towards my goals, these documents […]
3/16: Why I love to run
I aim to go skiing, running, or even for a calm walk-in nature every week. It is a time that I feel free, get a much-needed reset and can think through my next week to set my priorities. From my everyday routines of walking on the treadmill, working from home, and going to the gym; […]
