commitment – GeekyPeach

Welcome to Week 1 of our challenge — and if you’re here, I’m really glad you are.

This week isn’t about meal plans, workouts, or doing everything “right.”
It’s about something much simpler—and much more important.

Your Why

Most of us already know what we “should” do.
Eat better. Move more. Drink more water. Go to bed earlier.

The hard part isn’t the what.
It’s remembering why we want to do it—especially on the days when motivation is low, life is busy, or starting feels harder than skipping.

Your “why” doesn’t have to be dramatic or perfect. It doesn’t need to impress anyone.

It might be:

To feel better in your body
To have more energy
To be healthier long-term
To feel more confident
To show up better for yourself or the people you love

Or it might simply be: “I’m tired of starting over, and I want something that actually sticks.”

Every reason counts.

One Small Habit

Once you’ve written down your “why,” choose one small habit you want to practice this week.

Not ten.
Not a full lifestyle overhaul.
Just one.

This is about practice, not perfection.

Your habit could be:

Drinking more water
Taking a short daily walk
Tracking meals
Journaling
Going to bed a little earlier
Adding protein to breakfast

Pick something realistic—something you can show up for even on an average, imperfect day.

This Week’s Challenge

📝 Write down:

Your why
One habit you want to practice this week

That’s it.

No pressure to do it perfectly.
No pressure to never miss a day.
Just commit to showing up and trying.

If you’re comfortable, share your “why” and your habit with the group. There’s something powerful about saying it out loud—and you never know who you might encourage just by being honest.

This is your fresh start. Not because it’s a new week…
…but because you decided to begin again.

You’re already doing the hardest part: showing up 💛

IIt’s the start of a new year, and here I go again—trying to recommit to my health and wellness and lose some weight.

I was looking for a graphic to go with this post that said:
“If at first you don’t succeed, try, try again.”

But while searching for that quote, I stumbled across a few others that made me laugh, so of course I had to share:

“If at first you don’t succeed, then maybe you just suck.”
“If at first you don’t succeed, then skydiving definitely isn’t for you.”

Luckily for us, we’re not skydiving…
We’re just trying—again—for what feels like the 87th time to focus on our health and wellness and lose some weight.

Here’s the frustrating part: I know what to do to lose weight. I really do.

I just need to actually do it.
And that is so much easier said than done—or I would’ve already done it and wouldn’t be starting over for the 87th time.

So what does it really take to lose weight?

Willpower?
A calorie deficit?
Cardio? Lifting weights? Walking every day?
Low carb? No carb? Intermittent fasting?
Tracking calories? Tracking points? Counting macros?
Eating “clean”? Giving up sugar?
Drinking water like it’s some kind of magical weight-loss juice?

Nope.

None of those things will help you lose weight if you don’t have the two things that actually matter:

Commitment & Consistency

Not perfection.
Not doing everything “right.”
Just showing up again… and again… and again.

Even after the 87th restart.

This year, I’m choosing to focus on commitment and consistency instead of perfection.

What that looks like for me:

Journaling daily and tracking my meals – for accountability
Doing my best to drink 64 oz of water a day (that’s my goal—everyone’s target is different, and that’s okay)
Being more intentional about what I eat and how I spend my time
