Hey Reader,

Summer can feel like one big blur of picnics, travel, and keeping up with everyone and everything—kind of like the holidays... but with more sun and potato salad.

And if you're working on your health, it’s easy to feel like you have to choose between enjoying the season or staying “on track.”

The good news? You don’t have to pick.
Here’s how I approach it—and how you can too:

🍉 Summer Picnics & BBQs​
You can enjoy your favorite foods and still keep things balanced. My rule?
👉 Build your plate with some protein and plants first (grilled chicken, salad, fruit, etc.)
👉 Then add the fun stuff you really love—on purpose, without guilt.

👉 Stop eating when you are full and stay away from the food table.

A burger and a brownie won’t derail you. Giving up and saying “I’ll start over Monday”? That might.

​

✈️ Vacation Movement​
You don’t need a full workout to keep your momentum. Vacation movement can look like:
• A 10-minute walk with your coffee
• A quick hotel-room bodyweight circuit
• Swimming, biking, paddle boarding, hiking—play counts!

The goal isn’t to burn calories—it’s to keep the habit alive and remind your body it still matters, even on vacation.

🧘‍♀️ Peace & Quiet (Yes, Even Now)​
Summer gets packed—camps, visitors, schedules changing every week. It’s a lot.

That’s why I protect just 10 minutes a day for myself.
☀️ A quiet walk
☀️ Stretching on the deck
☀️ Sitting with a cup of coffee before the house wakes up

It’s not about doing everything—it’s about doing something that helps you feel grounded.

This season doesn’t have to be all-or-nothing. You can feel good in your body, enjoy your favorite summer moments, and keep taking care of you.

And if you want help building a simple strategy that fits your real life (even when it's busy), just hit reply. I'm here for it 💛
