Awesome post from Mackenzie!!
We’re officially 3 months into 2026—the year our progress sticks 💪🏼
So far, we’ve talked about rest, motivation, goals, and mindset. This month, we’re getting into something HUGE when it comes to results… food 🍓🍌🥑🥚🧀🥜🥯🥩🥦🥕🍗🥔🫘🫐🫜🫑

Don’t worry—we’re not overcomplicating it.
We’re just focusing on the basics: protein, carbs, and fats.
In the attached photos, you will read:
• Easy ways to know how much to aim for
• Good, high-quality food options. Plus, simple grab-n-go options
• What to be mindful of (no crazy restrictions here)
• And how to keep it all realistic for everyday life

Also—I had to share one of my favorite tools: Mealime
If meal prep stresses you out or you “never know what to make,” this app helps a TON:
• You pick your meals (also has recipes for snacks, desserts, smoothies, etc.) and how many servings of each
• It builds your grocery list for you
• Gives step-by-step cooking instructions
• Shows all the nutrition info

Best part, It’s free ✨
For access to all of their recipes, it’s ONLY $2.99 per month… making it affordable for everyone and such a great and easy tool to help you along your journey!

Let’s keep showing up and keeping it simple this month 💪

Just a quick reminder: I’m not a dietitian! This is all based on my time in strength & conditioning and resources. Everyone’s needs are different, so take what works for you and make it your own.

2026: Progress That Sticks
Welcome to February, Team! 💪✨
Let’s be honest—how many of you are still feeling successful with your goals?
Some of you may be crushing it, and to you I say a very loud HECK YA!! 👏
But others may have hit a few bumps, aren’t seeing the results they hoped for, or feel like their wagon has completely stopped.
That can bring up feelings like failure, lack of motivation, insecurity, hopelessness, or “not being good enough.” And while it’s easy to say things like “You’re awesome no matter what!” or “Just get back at it and see what happens,” those words fall flat if you don’t truly believe them yourself. Sometimes, they can even do the opposite of what they’re intended to do.
Here’s the truth:
You can do everything “right”—set goals, rest, go to the gym, meal plan—and still feel like you’re failing or not seeing results.
THIS. DOES. NOT. MAKE. YOU. A. FAILURE.
Recently, I listened to a podcast titled “ #1 Mindset Expert: Simple Mindset Shifts That Transform Your Body, Energy, & Life” from The Mel Robbins Podcast. The guest speaker, Dr. Alia Crum, is a Stanford professor and leading psychology and mindset researcher. She shares powerful research on how our thoughts directly shape our bodies, energy, and overall health.
As Mel explains, Dr. Crum has shown time and time again that our thoughts about exercise, stress, and food often work against us—and more importantly, how we can change that.
They call these automatic (often negative) thoughts “settings.”
And sometimes, we just need to reset them.
If you see exercise as exhausting, miserable, and sweaty, it’s no surprise you don’t feel motivated to show up—or to give it your best effort. If you believe fruits and vegetables are bland and gross… well, they probably will be. But if you start seeing them as colorful, flavorful, nourishing, and a gift to your body, they suddenly become more appealing.
This also isn’t about “dieting” or restricting ourselves. Quite the opposite. It’s about stopping the fight with our bodies and learning to work with them.
If you’ve hit a slump with your goals—or you’re struggling with fear, anxiety, or self-doubt—I highly recommend giving this podcast a listen. I’ve included links and QR codes so you can watch on YouTube or listen on your favorite podcast platform.
Remember:
Just because you haven’t seen the results you want yet does not mean you’re failing. Goals are hard. Progress isn’t linear. Sometimes the adjustment isn’t the goal itself—but the way we look at it, our schedule, our expectations, and most importantly, ourselves.
Get back in there.
Feel confident heading into Valentine’s Day. 💘
And maybe use one of those permission slips to fully indulge in dessert. 🍰😉
You’re not behind—you’re learning. And that’s progress that actually sticks.

2026: Progress That Sticks

From Mackenzie

January is all about setting goals—looking ahead and preparing for a new year. However, as mentioned in the prior post, statistically speaking, most goals are not achieved. So, in combination with that post, let’s talk about how to set goals properly—in a way that gives us a much higher chance of actually achieving them.

Goal setting is a powerful practice because it provides direction and control, helps maintain or increase motivation, and builds competency along the way. For example, if your goal is to run a mile, you learn to understand what it actually takes to get there—you don’t just wake up and do it; you build toward it.
Understanding these goal types gives you the foundation needed to build goals that actually support your desired outcome.

Outcome Goals
These focus on the final result—the long-term destination. Example: “I want to lose 40lbs by the end of this year.”

Performance Goals
These are the milestone goals you work toward while chasing the outcome. Examples: dropping a pant size by May, running a mile by June, increasing your squat max by 5 lbs each month.

Process Goals
These focus on the daily or weekly actions required for success. Examples: working out three times a week for 30 minutes, meal prepping, prioritizing sleep.

Once you know what goals you're setting, the next step is making sure they're well designed.
Use the acronym CONQUER to ensure your goals include all the necessary components (refer to the attachments to see it broken down). You can confidently say, "I will CONQUER this goal" as you go. Along with the CONQUER acronym being broken down, you will find templates that will help you write out all three types of goals. I am challenging you to write at least 3 Outcome Goals. Your timelines can vary in each goal, but try to have at least one goal to achieve throughout the whole year (ex. either a 1-year from now goal or your goals are broken up to last throughout the year). Don't rush your goals, but don't play it safe either. Challenge yourself... as goals are meant for.
Bethany Hamilton said, "People can do whatever they want if they just set their heart to it, and never give up, and just go out there and do it."
She also stated, "I don't need easy, just possible."
Welcome to 2026 everyone!!
