What's in store for today:
- The "Your Last Reset" Masterclass Recording
- My Simple Gas Station Grab & Go's
- Why My New Air Fryer Is A Huge Win
Hey friend,
I'm sharing a huge personal win today...
I've not missed a single workout or run or weekly step goal in going on 4 weeks now 🙌🏻
What made the difference? Finally committing to a "can't miss" schedule that works for me.
The "can't miss" schedule that works for me is getting up at 4:30am, hydrating, and either working out, running, or walking before the rest of the house gets up or the work day takes over.
I don't LOVE getting up at 4:30am, but I've realized I simply never miss when I do it and commit to this schedule. So it's 100% worth paying the price of that initial 20-30 minutes of dry eyes and discomfort from waking up before the sun to have the peace of mind of never missing a workout, run, or weekly step goal. That's a huge confidence boost in other areas of my life, too.
Highly recommend looking at your life and asking, "What would MY can't miss schedule be?".
Alright, now onto this week's Practical Health Journal...
Did you miss the Your Last Reset Masterclass?
Last week's Your Last Reset event was absolutely amazing.
BY FAR the best event I have ever done, and the feedback I have been getting is incredible.
But I realize that I made a HUGE error in judgment when I scheduled the event...because I literally scheduled it during the busiest 4H county fair week of the year, and most of the busy moms and dads that would have LOVED to attend live simply couldn't come.
So to make up for that lapse of judgment on my part, I am sharing the recording and the bonuses I gave away at the event for free to anyone who wants to catch up on what they missed.
If you've been struggling to lose weight, overwhelmed by all the conflicting information out there, and stuck in a cycle of starting and stopping / losing and regaining...then I HIGHLY recommend watching this recording.
You can't watch this event and not walk away with clarity of what to focus on and inspiration to start taking action.
Here's the link to get the recording. Enjoy.
My Simple Gas Station Grab & Go's
If you're a busy parent like I am then you probably find yourself on the go a LOT. Here is a page from my book (literally) that breaks down my personal gas station grab and go options when I want to piece together a balanced "meal" from a gas station.
It's really super simple. Just pick one high protein option, and one non-protein option, and it will mostly balance out to be around 400 calories or less with some decent protein. Enjoy!

Why My New Air Fryer Is A Huge Win
I use my air fryer a LOT. Like EVERY single day.
For the last several years, I was using a Ninja Foodie Air Fryer Oven...
And don't get me wrong, it served me well. But it had some MAJOR drawbacks.
Mainly...it got really dirty very easily, and was an absolute pain in the but to keep it clean. Also, I didn't feel like it got my food as nice and crispy as it should have.
Fast forward to this week, I decided to replace it with a different air fryer that was recommended by another fitness influencer. The Instant Pot 6QT Vortex XL.

And THIS air fryer...paired with THESE air fryer liners...has been an absolute game changer.
First of all...the food is SO freaking crispy.
Second of all...when I use these liners when cooking...there is ZERO clean-up. It's like I never even put anything into the air fryer and the food is still super crispy as long as I flip it half way through.
My previous air fryer I ended up buying a second one before my first one stopped working JUST because it was so dirty I couldn't even get it clean anymore. THIS one I can use over and over and over again and it looks like I just pulled it out of the box no matter how many times I cook with it.

From the perspective of sustainable weight loss...this is huge. Because I get food I love, with ZERO clean-up. And that means I can spend my time doing other things I love instead of scrubbing an air fryer I can't get clean 🧼
If you need a new air fryer I can't recommend the Instant Pot 6QT Vortex XL enough, and I also can't recommend these air fryer liners enough.
The combo is unbeatable. 💪🏻

30 Pounds Down & Moving The Goal Post

Tammy smashed her first goal…why not set another 💪🏻
She joined Healthy & Whole the first of April, and went all in.
She’s already lost 30 pounds, and gained the confidence to reset a new goal to lose another 7.
And trust me…life didn’t just chill out on Tammy so she could do this. There’s been plenty of challenges for her to overcome, but as she has stated herself, this is the most sustainable program by far that she’s ever done, and because of that she’s been able to keep going even when life keeps on “life-ing”.
Here's what's made the difference for Tammy this time:
- A plan that's built to be sustainable and doable even when everything in life is blowing up around you.
- Food she truly enjoys that takes minimal time to cook or prep.
- Learning to stay on track when traveling and also how to let loose and get back on track afterward.
- Having a community and coaches to keep her accountable and to help her keep showing up even when life gets hard
- Learning about nutrition in a way that she finally understands what works for her and her body.
