It’s Mid-Fall—Time to Fall into a Healthier You
🍂Hey Guys,
As the crisp air settles in and the leaves begin to fall, it’s a perfect time to reflect on your health goals from the top of the year, evaluate your progress and prepare for this final chapter.Think about how many times you’ve set a goal to not gain any additional weight this time of year, only to get caught up in the holiday rush, leaving you exhausted and ready to “start fresh” in January. It can be frustrating to feel stuck in that cycle, facing the same holiday temptations, feeling low energy, and watching things go from bad to worse!
The problem isn’t just the busy season or the endless holiday treats. The real issue is that the only fall, is the seasonal change! Not the fall of your bad habits, falling off of the poor mindset and falling off with the inconsistency!
Instead it is replaced with diet and fitness journeys with intense, short-term plans that simply don’t hold up. They end up feeling defeated before the new year even begins. It’s a cycle of quick fixes that can’t offer the strength, balance, and resilience you truly want for the long term.
But what if this time, you take a different approach? Instead of creating all of these weight loss expectations. Start laying the foundation now—right in the heart of fall. Think of this season as a time for the fall of distractions, old habits, and unproductive mindsets. Focus on creating stability first then lay down a foundation for improved health, strength and a fitter looking body in a way that is sustainable!
Here’s how you can use this moment to prepare for a successful new year, focusing on steady, sustainable transformation:Use this time as a training block (4,6,8,12 weeks) to build a foundation essential for a weight loss endeavor. Some of the foundational pieces would be:
1. Focus on the Mind-Body Connection – work on mobility, heal any imbalances, and build a base of strength that can support you for the long term.
2. Build Cardiovascular StaminaConsistent, low-stress movement can make a big impact on your fitness and mood as we move into the colder months.
3. Shift Your Mindset to Consistency Over IntensityInstead of “all or nothing,” aim for “a little every day.” Set small, achievable goals and allow consistency to create progress that lasts.
4. Refine Your Nutrition with Seasonal FoodsLean into seasonal produce like squash, apples, and leafy greens.
5. Prioritize Time Management
As schedules get busier, plan your workouts and meals ahead of time. Treat them as essential appointments to stay on track with your goals and maintain your focus through the season. No need to wait until January to “start over”?
By using these next few weeks to fall into a sustainable fitness routine, you’ll enter the new year with a solid foundation and head start. Let the old habits fall away, and embrace the opportunity to grow stronger, more balanced, and more connected to your goals.Let’s make this season about the fall of your pants size, the fall of unproductive habits, and the fall into a healthier, happier you.
