Hey everyone, ♥️

Just a quick check in to say week one of 2026 is complete. Whether you managed a full week of workouts or just started getting back into a routine, that first step matters more than you think.

This week is always about readjusting after the holidays, rebuilding habits, and reminding your body what movement feels like again. Feeling a little sore, low on energy, or slightly out of rhythm is completely normal.

“Progress begins when you stop waiting for perfect.”

You don’t need flawless weeks to see results. You need consistent ones.

And a heads up… next week we’ll be turning things up slightly with longer and more challenging sessions to keep building strength and momentum. Nothing extreme, just the next level of progress.

So this weekend, focus on recovery, hydration, and getting yourself mentally ready to step into the next phase.

Proud of the effort I’ve seen across the community already. Let’s keep going together! 

Hey Everyone! 

Just a reminder that we start tomorrow ✨

I can’t wait to get started with you 💗

Keep a look out on your emails next week for the sugar reset guide. 

Hey lovely ladies 🤍

This space between Christmas and New Year is powerful. It’s quieter, slower, and perfect for reflection without pressure.

You don’t need to overhaul your life this week. Just stay gently connected to yourself.

If you can, take a moment today to reflect and share with us in the comments:

✨ One thing you are proud of from 2025
✨ One goal you’re calling in for 2026

Big or small, it all counts.

This community is built on progress, not perfection. On showing up, not doing more.

Thank you for being here, for moving your body, and for trusting the process this year.

We’re stepping into 2026 together 💗

This challenge isn’t about extremes.
It’s about starting the year already in motion.

Let’s restore and rise together.

Hey BellyBlast Girlies 💗

We’ve officially hit the halfway point and SO many of you are stacking wins, ranking up badges and showing serious consistency. Be proud of that.

As we move into the final month of the year, remember this:

It’s not about being perfect.
It’s about being consistent and realistic.

December is busy. Life gets loud. Plans happen.
Your goal is not to control everything.

Your goal is to keep showing up in small, powerful ways.

BALANCE IS YOUR SUPERPOWER THIS MONTH

Aim for:
• Movement over zero days
• Hydration over restriction
• Progress over pressure
• Consistency over extremes

If a full workout feels like too much, do a quick flow.
If your steps are low, move after meals.
If food is heavier, keep meals earlier balanced.

Press play, even when motivation dips.

Badges don’t come from perfection.
They come from showing up anyway.

HOLIDAY BLOATING FIXES

Try these simple habits this week:

✔ Start the day with water before coffee
✔ Add ginger or peppermint tea in the evening
✔ Eat slowly and stop at "satisfied", not stuffed
✔ Build every meal around protein first
✔ Walk after meals when you can
✔ Stretch or do a short flow before bed
✔ Reduce fizzy drinks and chewing gum

Small changes = flatter tummy energy.

You’re doing better than you think.

Let’s finish this year feeling lighter in every way 💫

Happy Thanksgiving my lovely humans 🧡

Whether today looks like a big family table, a quiet moment to yourself, or something in between, I hope you’re taking a second to breathe and appreciate how far you’ve come this year.

I’d love to know… what’s one thing you’re truly thankful for this year?
Drop it in the comments so we can spread some gratitude together.

And just so you know, I’m incredibly thankful for you. For showing up, for trusting me with your body and your journey, and for being part of this community. You make what I do so meaningful.

Enjoy today. Be present. And eat the good stuff 💛
