What I’d Do TODAY to Get Results by Spring & Summer

Spring and summer are right around the corner, and if you want to feel strong, confident, and energized, now is the time to take action. I get it—life is busy, and it’s easy to push your fitness goals to the side. But what if I told you that small, intentional steps TODAY could lead to big changes in just a few months?

This isn’t about crash diets, detoxes, or spending hours in the gym. It’s about real, sustainable habits that work for YOU. Here’s exactly what I’d do to start seeing results by spring and summer.

1. Commit to Daily Movement

Movement doesn’t have to mean hardcore workouts or spending hours in the gym. What matters most is consistency. If you can move your body daily, even for just 20 minutes, you’re already setting yourself up for success.

Actionable Steps:

• Take a 20-minute walk after meals to improve digestion and get your steps in.

• Do a quick bodyweight workout at home—think squats, lunges, push-ups, and core work.

• Dance around your kitchen while cooking. Seriously, it counts!

• Set a daily step goal (7k-10k steps is a great target!).

The goal isn’t perfection—it’s about getting into the habit of moving every single day.

2. Focus on a Calorie Deficit (For Fat Loss) or Protein Intake (For Muscle Growth)

If weight loss is your goal, the key is eating in a calorie deficit (consuming fewer calories than your body burns). But hear me out—this does NOT mean starving yourself or cutting out all your favorite foods. It’s about being intentional with your choices.

If muscle growth is your goal, focus on protein intake. Each meal should be centered around a high-quality protein source with whole grains and veggies.

Actionable Steps:

• Eat high-protein, balanced meals to stay full and energized (aim for 20-30g protein per meal).

• Prioritize fiber and healthy fats to keep cravings in check.

• Swap high-calorie, low-nutrient snacks for nutrient-dense options (Greek yogurt, protein smoothies, eggs, lean meats, whole grains).

• Track your food intake (even for just a week) to get a realistic view of where you can make small adjustments.

• Drink water before meals to help with portion control and digestion.

3. Hydration & Rest: The Underrated Game Changers

You could be doing everything "right" in terms of nutrition and exercise, but if you’re dehydrated and sleep-deprived, you’ll feel sluggish, bloated, and unmotivated.

Actionable Steps:

• Aim for half your body weight in ounces of water daily.

• Start your morning with a big glass of water before coffee.

• Set a reminder to drink water throughout the day (if you forget, get a cute water bottle that motivates you!).

• Get 7-9 hours of quality sleep to help with recovery, metabolism, and stress management.

4. Mindset Shift: Small Wins Lead to Big Changes

Most people fail because they set massive, unsustainable goals. The trick? Focus on small wins every single day.

Actionable Steps:

• Set realistic weekly goals (Example: "I’ll work out 3x this week," or "I’ll drink 80oz of water daily.")

• Track your progress in a journal or app—seeing your consistency will keep you motivated.

• Celebrate non-scale victories (clothes fitting better, increased energy, better sleep).

• Stop waiting for "motivation" and just start taking action—even small efforts add up!
