If Week One was about beginning, Week Two is about continuing.
Please don’t be discouraged if you’re finding this week a little harder, I want you to know something right away: that’s normal.
The excitement of a fresh start may have ended. Life is busy again. Energy may feel lower. This is sometimes the moment when many people decide they’ve “fallen off” and give up altogether.
That’s exactly why Week Two matters so much and why this week is different.
Week Two isn’t about doing more, it’s about doing what you’ve already started again.
Consistency is built quietly, through small decisions made day after day. It’s not glamorous. It may look like:
choosing to move even when you don’t feel like it, returning after a missed day, practicing habits that fit real life.
This week, success doesn’t look flashy. It looks steady.
What Week Two Will Look Like
The habits remain the same, but your confidence will likely start to grow.
1. Daily Movement Becomes More Familiar
By now, movement may feel less intimidating. That doesn’t mean every day will feel easy, it just means movement is starting to become part of your routine.
Some days you’ll do more.
Some days you’ll do less.
Both are still progress.
2. Strength Training Twice This Week
Strength training is a cornerstone of long-term health, especially as we age. If you haven’t given strength training a try, even doing wall push offs, countertop push ups, or lifting cans in the kitchen overhead.
Two sessions 20 to 30 minute sessions this week are enough to:
support bone health, improve balance and stability, protect joints, and build confidence in your body.
Short sessions count. Light weights count. Learning the movements counts.
You don’t need to exhaust yourself to benefit.
3. Logging for Awareness, Not Control
As you continue logging food and water, you may start to notice patterns:
meals that keep you full longer, times when energy dips, days when hydration makes a difference.
This information isn’t about “fixing” yourself. It’s about understanding what supports you.
And if you miss a day? You simply start again.
4. Grace Keeps You Moving Forward
This week is where grace becomes essential.
Missed workouts. Busy days. Low energy. These aren’t reasons to quit, in fact they’re reasons to show kindness toward yourself.
Progress isn’t built on perfect weeks.

The good news is that you should be able to go directly to the folder without me approving if you were approved last week.
It’s built on showing back up.
Celebrating Wins at the 5:00 p.m. Check-In
The daily 5:00 p.m. check-in is one of my favorite parts of this Jumpstart, I hope you find it helpful.
Looking for the things to celebrate really does change us from the inside out. There is actually research that says it rewires our brain. When we choose to notice the good, our brains respond by releasing those feel-good chemicals that lift our mood and calm our nerves. It helps quiet fear and worry, brings a little more peace to our thoughts, and trains us to see what’s going right instead of what’s going wrong. Over time, that simple practice makes us steadier, more resilient, and better able to handle hard days. Little by little, gratitude helps us feel happier, calmer, and more grounded in our everyday lives
Questions I am learning to ask myself:
What did I do today to care for myself? Where did I show up, even in a small way? How can I end today with grace?
Wins might look like:
Doing the strength training even when you didn’t feel strong, taking a shorter walk instead of skipping it, choosing to rest instead of pushing through exhaustion, or simply not giving up on yourself.
These small wins add up more than you think.
If This Week Feels Messy
If Week Two feels imperfect, uneven, or discouraging, I hope you remember:
You are not behind.
You are not failing.
You are learning how to stay.
Looking Ahead
As you move through Week Two, I hope you to notice:
what’s starting to feel easier, what habits feel most sustainable, what you might simplify instead of adding more.
You don’t need to push harder.
You need to keep showing up in a way that fits your life.
Consistency isn’t about never missing, it’s about picking back up and returning.
