Morning run!!Â
Honestly my runs have been slow! But today I had some where to be. This is only a portion of my 6 mile run. Because I was on a time crunch, I got in 6 miles averaging 10:18 when lately Iâm around 11 plus.
Creating a sense of urgency can up your game! So mix it up, challenge yourself, and you may be surprised at what you can do! I was!

What you bring to anything is what you bring to everything. What do you bring to your health?
Your body is incredibly efficient. Thatâs both the good news and the bad news.
If youâve been lifting the same weights for weeks or months, your body has already adapted to that challenge. What once felt hard has become your new normal. Once that happens, thereâs no reason for your muscles to get stronger or change.
Think about it this way: If you carried the same 10-pound grocery bag every day for a year, would it eventually feel easier? Absolutely. But would carrying that same bag keep making you stronger? No.
The same principle applies in the gym.
Whether youâre lifting 5 pounds or 50 pounds, your body only changes when itâs given a reason to adapt. That doesnât mean you have to double your weights overnight, but it does mean you need to gradually increase the challengeâwhether thatâs adding a little more weight, doing an extra rep, slowing the tempo, or improving your range of motion.
Progressive overload = progressive results.
If you want your body to change, your workout has to change too. Your muscles donât know the number on the dumbbellâthey only know the challenge youâre asking them to overcome

Recipe for Success â¤ď¸
Today I turn 62.
People often ask me, âWhatâs your secret?â
There isnât one.
Itâs a recipe Iâve been following for years:
𼊠Eat real, nourishing food. (For me, thatâs a low-carb, ketogenic lifestyle.)
đď¸ Strength train 3 days a week.
â¤ď¸ Move my body with cardio 5 days a week.
đ´ Prioritize sleep and recovery.
đ§ Practice self-care and nurture my spiritual life.
đŞ Stay consistentâeven when I donât feel like it.
At 62, my body fat is 18%, but thatâs not the achievement Iâm most proud of.
Iâm proud that I can live life with strength, energy, confidence, and independence.
Age isnât the reason most people stop taking care of themselves.
More often, they stop taking care of themselves⌠and then age catches up.
If youâre wondering whether itâs too late to get stronger, healthier, or feel better in your own skin, let me reassure you:
Itâs not.
You donât have to be perfect. You just have to start, and then keep showing up.
The recipe works if you keep making it!!
Tabata planks! Shout out to this amazing 77 year old! 4 minute tabata planks at the end of a full tabata workout.
Great form. You go Marilyn!

Goal of the Weekâ°: CUT THE SUGAR!
(S)teals your energy
(U)psets your hormones
(G)rows inflammation
(A)ccelerates aging
(R)aises disease risk
Sugar doesnât just add caloriesâit steals your energy, disrupts your hormones, fuels inflammation, speeds aging, and increases your risk for chronic disease. Cutting back isnât about deprivationâitâs about giving your body the chance to thrive.
Every time you choose whole foods over added sugar, refined processed foods, youâre investing in more energy, a healthier metabolism, and a longer, stronger life.
