We ate delicious food, got a tan, got some solid @mavywellness workouts in with @ivyteves đąđŞ
What a blessing to be here and experience this beautiful scenery. We filmed new youtube videos sharing our favorite plant-based spots here, filmed some workouts for our members over 50 who want to build stronger legs with minimal equipment while traveling the world and enjoying their retirement.
Stay tuned for it on my Youtube channel and newsletter which are both linked in my profile.
We are now off to our next destination â¤ď¸
 Still remaining in the Philippines just another island đď¸

Most people quit not because they canât do it but because they misunderstand how transformation actually works.
Hereâs the truth đ
Your health & fitness journey is like pushing a massive flywheel.
At the beginning, itâs dead weight.
No momentum.
Every workout feels hard.
Meal prep feels inconvenient.
Life feels like itâs fighting you.
And thatâs normal.
The mistake people make is thinking:
âIf it feels hard, I must be doing it wrong.â
No. Youâre just starting.
At first, the only job is to keep your hands on the wheel.
Not perfection.
Not motivation.
Just consistency.
Some days you feel strong.
Some days you feel like you only have 40%.
If you give 100% of what you *have* that day, the wheel still moves.
Over time, something shifts.
You build systems:
- You learn when to train
- You organize your kitchen better
- You stop relying on willpower
- You start relying on structure
Momentum builds.
And hereâs the magic part đ
When momentum is high, small mistakes stop destroying progress.
One missed workout doesnât derail you.
One off meal doesnât set you back weeks.
The flywheel keeps spinning.
This is what people call âsustainabilityâ but sustainability isnât something you choose upfront.
Itâs something you earn through repetition.
Just like starting a new job:
At first, everything feels overwhelming.
A year later, itâs second nature.
Health works the same way.
You donât reach a finish line where effort disappears.
You reach a point where effort is lighter.
Where being healthy isnât something you negotiate daily.
Itâs just who you are.
Thatâs the flywheel.
Push long enough, and eventuallyâŚ
it starts carrying you forward.
Keep pushing.

Most people donât fail because they lack discipline.
They stall because their goals are too small and too safe.
Small goals let you stay comfortable.
Big goals force you to think differently.
When a goal actually matters to you, it demands new standards, better systems, and a higher level of commitment. You canât rely on the same habits that got you here to get you somewhere new.
Time is also a powerful psychological tool.
Give yourself 12 months and urgency disappears.
Give yourself 6 months and suddenly your actions change.
You stop negotiating with yourself.
You stop doing busy work.
You start focusing on what actually moves the needle.
Big goals paired with intentional timelines create healthy pressure. Not stress â clarity. They force growth, creativity, and decisive action.
If you want different outcomes, you need goals that demand a different version of you.
Set goals that excite you.
Give them timelines that require action.
Thatâs where real progress begins.

Most people donât fail at body recomposition because the plan doesnât work.
They fail because they donât follow directions.
And I donât mean motivation.
I donât mean discipline.
I mean directions.
Hiring a coach is like putting a destination into a GPS.
Youâre saying, âThis is where I want to go. Less body fat. More muscle. More energy.
A body that actually supports my life.â
Once that destination is set, the GPS gives you the most efficient route.
Not the route that feels good every day.
Not the route that matches your mood.
The most efficient route.
And this is where most people go wrong.
The GPS says, âTurn right.â
And people say, âI donât feel like it today.â
So they turn left.
They skip the workout.
They eat whatever because it was a stressful week.
They tell themselves theyâll get back on track later.
Hereâs the key belief shift:
Missing a turn doesnât mean you failed.
It means you added time.
The GPS doesnât judge you. It recalculates.
Your coach does the same.
Life will happen. Youâll miss workouts. Youâll eat off plan. That doesnât disqualify you.
What does slow everything down is selectively listening.
Following the plan only when youâre in a good mood.
Ignoring it when youâre tired, stressed, or bored.
You wouldnât expect to âaccidentallyâ arrive at a destination youâve never been to before.
Yet thatâs exactly how most people approach their health.
Trust the GPS.
Trust the process.
Follow the directions more often than you ignore them.
And when you go off track, donât spiral.
Just get back on the route.
Thatâs how sustainable transformation actually works, especially after 50.

What does it actually mean to be fit?
Being fit doesnât mean chasing someone elseâs version of strength, speed, or aesthetics.
Being fit means your body and your health are not a limitation to you living your best life.
And that definition changes as you move through life.
In your 20s and 30s, fitness might look like performance.
In your 60s, 70s, and beyond, it often looks like freedom.
Freedom to move without fear.
Freedom to get off the floor, travel, train, play, and live fully.
Freedom to know your body supports the life you want, not limits it.
For some people, being fit means strength training a few days a week to feel good in their body.
For others, itâs running marathons, Ironmans, or competing in events they love.
Different expressions. Same foundation.
Strength training.
Proper nutrition.
A body that keeps showing up for you, decade after decade.
I go deeper into this in my new book Forever Fit and in my latest Substack post.

Your future self is worth building for.

At 60, she finally broke free from sugar.
Alexandra Paul. Baywatch actress. Ironman finisher. Ocean swimmer.
She'd done everything right. Except one thing.
"I was eating sugar instead of real food. I'd wake up and eat chocolate."
Never been on a diet. Never joined a program. Thought she could figure it out alone.
Until she couldn't.
THE REAL REASON
"My feelings had been hurt by my mom. I hadn't brought it up for months. So I was eating over it."
It's never just about food.
Her sister: "When you're in a rut, change something. You can't expect change to hit you like a lightning bolt."
At 60, she took action.
WHAT CHANGED
Five months. No sugar. No white-knuckling.
"Had my birthday. Coach asked if I wanted cake. I said no. I genuinely don't want it."
Physical: Leaned out. Arms got jacked. Gym guys complimented her.
Emotional: "I started talking about my pain. It dissipated. I became resilient."
Month later, she had that conversation with her mom.
"Didn't have any emotional trigger anymore. I'd healed."
THE LESSONS
Coach Sarah: "You eat like a child. Snacking, not being intentional."
She started sitting for meals. Slowing down. Tasting food.
When anxious, she'd chew gum. Sarah asked: "What if you just sat with the feeling?"
"Hadn't occurred to me to feel it instead of numb it."
THE SHIFT
Before: Hour cardio 6 days/week. Lifting because she "should."
Now: Heavy lifting 4-6x/week. Added extra day because she liked it.
"Felt great just lifting. Didn't need cardio."
WISDOM
"Asking for help is important. Expert support matters."
"We wait till we feel 'ready.' Sometimes that takes too long."
Don't wait.
THE REAL STORY
44 years struggling with food. Finally found peace.
Not through restriction, shame, or willpower.
Through support. Structure. Philosophy that allowed for humanity.
That's sustainable transformation.

My mom lost 50 lbs at 55 and kept it off for 4 years. She's 60 now, stronger than at 40.
She tried everything. Atkins. Weight Watchers. That soup diet. Always gained it back.
The difference? She stopped sprinting a marathon. Took 9 months. That's why it stuck.
What worked:
1. PLAN YOUR WEEK
Every Sunday: training days, cooking days, everything. Don't wait for motivation.
2. SIMPLE GROCERIES
Rice, beans, lentils, potatoes, vegetables, tofu. Check flyers for deals.
3. PRE-CUT VEGETABLES
"Think about your goals. Healthy or cookies?" Make the right thing easy.
4. TRY NEW VEGETABLES
Follow plant-based creators. Save recipes. Build variety.
5. MEAL PREP 2X/WEEK
Sunday + Wednesday. 1 hour each. Training days? Just heat and eat.
6. PARTNER SUPPORT
Dad's not vegan but helped cut veggies, handed her water. Now eats more plant-based from watching her.
7. RIGHT TOOLS
Tofu press, blender, measuring cups. Makes it easier.
8. CHEW SLOWLY
Let your body catch up. You'll naturally eat less.
9. FOLLOW RECIPE CREATORS
Carly (Plant You), Sam (It Doesn't Taste Like Chicken), Toni (Plant-Based on a Budget).
10. LONG-TERM MINDSET
Was 184 lbs at 55. Last time 130? Teenager.
Crash diets got her to 160. Never lasted.
Our program? 9 months to lose 50. Four years later, still 130.
THE REALITY:
This is lifetime. She still trains 4x/week, meal preps, monitors nutrition. But also eats out, has wine, enjoys life.
Not fighting her body anymore. More energy. Better sleep. Stronger.
MY CHALLENGE:
Pick ONE thing this week.
You're either taking action or waiting while nothing changes.
She proved you can transform in your 50s and stay strong in your 60s. Starts with consistent action, even when imperfect.
