Feeling Stuck? Reflect on What’s Already Working!

Life gets busy, and it’s so easy to overlook all the little victories you’re racking up every single day. When you’re juggling family, work, and trying to take care of yourself, it’s tempting to fixate on big, far-off goals—like losing that last 10 pounds or sticking to a perfect routine. But here’s the truth: the magic is in the small wins.

Did you carve out time for a workout this week? Show up on time for something important? Take even a small step to prioritize yourself - like a 10-minute walk, going to bed earlier or joining my Chilly Challenge for December? Those seemingly "small" things aren’t small at all. They’re the foundation of success, and they deserve to be celebrated.

Progress is not about being perfect; it’s about consistency. You’re going to miss a workout or make a less-than-perfect meal choice. That’s okay. What matters is that you keep showing up, making small, intentional choices every day. That’s how real, lasting change happens.

And here’s a little secret: reflection is a superpower. Taking a moment to pause and recognize what you haveaccomplished—no matter how small—keeps you motivated and builds confidence. It’s proof that you’re capable and moving forward, even if progress feels slow.

So, what are you proud of this week? Think about it. Write it down. Share it with someone (I’d love to hear it!). Those wins, no matter how tiny they seem, are worth celebrating.

3 Ways to Track Progress (without the scale)

The number one reason people come to me to learn the FASTer Way strategies is to lose weight.

The thing is...FASTer Way is a FAT loss program, not a weight loss program.

Ultimately, I spend a lot of time talking with my clients about Progress and what it really looks like. Today I thought I'd share three ways I encourage them to track progress that does not include using a scale.

1. Strength - being able to lift heavier and complete more reps is a sign of gains in strength. 

2. Endurance - being able to climb the stairs easier/quicker or keeping up with the kids/grands for longer periods of time is a sign of improvement.

3. How you feel - sleeping better and for longer, having more energy throughout the day, and clothes fitting better are signs of a healthier body.

If you are not seeing progress, do a habit check:

Is your nutrition on point? Plan your meals so that it is.

Are you getting 3-5 workouts per week? Prioritize sleep so you have energy and motivation.

Feeling unmotivated? Get an accountability partner or coach to check-in with and encourage you.
