The secret you've been missing when it comes to finding the balance between energy, confidence, and indulgence. Life-changing transformations don’t have to come from drastic overhauls. In fact, it’s the small, consistent habits that make the biggest impact. These four healthy habits are simple, actionable, and powerful enough to create lasting change in your every day life.
Let’s be honest: sometimes we make “being healthy” way harder than it needs to be. As a Certified Strength and Nutrition Coach, I've was guilty of this many times in my early career.
We overcomplicate everything—looking for the perfect diet, the perfect workout routine, or the perfect plan to make it all stick. Spoiler alert: that doesn’t work.
Here’s the truth: you don’t need perfection to feel stronger, energized, and in control. What you need is a focus on the basics—the simple, foundational habits that actually move the needle.
4 Healthy Habits
Below are the lifestyle habits you SHOULD be focusing on this year if you want to gain strength, energy, confidence, and CONTROL. These habits also support weight loss goals and general well-being.
But, the trick is consistency. So, pick the one that seems the least intimidating and rock it until you don't have to even think about it anymore.
👉 Eat protein with every meal. It keeps you full, helps control cravings, and fuels your energy. Seriously, the benefits of protein are not overrated. Aim for over 100 grams per day, however you want to break that down. Try adding beef protein to your smoothies, oats, or brownies and you'll be hooked on the easiness and the deliciousness.
👉 Work out 3-4x a week. That doesn’t mean spending hours at the gym. A quick strength session or even 15 minutes of movement makes a difference. The SMASH program is perfect for this. Or, learn more about strength training for beginners and get yourself set up with a plan. It really is the fountain of youth.
👉 Walk 10,000 steps a day. No, you don’t need to count every step. Just get moving—play with the kids, take a walk, or park further from the store. Generally, just MOVE. This is one of the best weight loss hacks for moms. Just move more.
👉 Drink more water. It sounds basic, but it works. Staying hydrated keeps your energy up and helps you avoid unnecessary snacking. Learn how to drink more water and start ASAP.
