I DON’T KNOW WHO NEEDS TO HEAR THIS BUT… just because you can do something doesn’t mean you have to or you should.
A while back, I used to put the needs of my business, my friends and my family ahead of my own.
I would skip training sessions and skip meals and I was basically running myself ragged meaning I didn’t have anything left in the tank for myself.
This was around the time that I was really struggling to manage my hashimotos and I was absolutely EXHAUSTED.
Dog tired. I didn’t feel like myself.
And - I really had lost the joy from my life but still, I would push it at work and pour it into everyone else.
Then I finally realized that I wasn’t good for ANYONE including my family and my business.
I learned that if I wasn’t being good to myself, I really couldn’t be good for anyone or anything else.
This one shift helped change my life and the few key non-negotiables for me really aren’t that difficult to manage.
1 - I prioritize my sleep - I make sure that I get at least 7 hours
2 - I prioritize my training sessions - I train at least 3x weekly
3 - I prioritize my nutrition - I meal plan to ensure I’m well nourished
4 - I stay hydrated
And… I feel so much better. I am a better mom, a better wife, a better leader, and a better business owner.
What’s ONE THING you can do (and feel like you “should” do), that you can let go of?

Book Recommendation: I highly recommend this book if you are interested in having a more thorough understanding of how your body works. This book gets into the 6 pillars of the Metabolic Ecosystem and how to adjust each pillar to fit your lifestyle.
Spoiler Alert: everything that we coach inside Wilcox Wellness & Fitness is very much in alignment with the teaching in this book.

Are you ready for my BEST time-saving tip for staying on track with health and fitness?
You probably could guess it - because I talk about it a lot.
It is meal planning and meal prepping. And meal planning and meal prepping is the thing that is going to set you up for success.
Why? Because it SAVES TIME … and it saves BRAIN SPACE!
Thinking about meal planning ONCE a week is a lot easier than thinking about it every night at dinnertime or scrounging for lunch or being on your heels for breakfast.
It’s amazing how much easier your weeks run when you can grab your already prepped breakfast and lunch when you are running out the door.
And then you just don't need to think about it.
It’s the little actions you do EVERY day that make the biggest impact.
What’s one thing that you do to 1) save time and 2) stay on track?

What you need to know if you skip a training session…
So you skipped a training session...or two...or took a week-long break while vacationing. Not the end of the world, right?
BUT here's the snag: it can spiral into a pattern of missed workouts, leading to a dip in your fitness level, strength, and daily energy.
Instead of pushing the pause button on your workouts.
TRY THIS:
👉 Make it a LIFESTYLE - aim to be intentionally active most days, even if it's just for a few minutes.
👉 Make it a non-negotiable part of your day. Whether it's a post-dinner stroll, a few squats and push-ups before your shower, or some morning sun salutations - make it happen!
By turning movement into a lifestyle, you safeguard your fitness and pave the way for a lifetime of healthy habits.

How I “do” moderation …
First: I’m sharing things because “moderation” is a big buzzword these days when it comes to health & fitness, but it’s hard to pinpoint what it actually means.
It’s confusing, because (at least on my social media feed) it seems to involve someone scarfing down thousands of empty (sugary, high-fat) calories all at once.
Which... to me, DOESN’T seem very moderate at all!
For me, moderation means:

1. Enjoying “totally worth it” treats and not following a super restrictive way of eating.
2. Focusing on nourishing myself well with healthy whole foods 80-90% of the time and allowing the rest to be extras. (Mike calls them extra-curricular)

On a day-to-day basis, that looks like:

1. Eating a good balance of healthy carbs, fat, and protein at every meal.
2. Sharing an ice cream sundae from Fielders Choice with Mike once per week (we LOVE the dugout floor sundae with peanut butter sauce)
3. Having some 'healthy(ish)' sweets on hand for when I get a craving after dinner

Can I make a confession? I have so much gratitude for the work that we as a team get to do. We absolutely love the work that we do, the people we work with, and the community that we support. I am so very thankful to be in a business where we can help people live their very best life.
