In 2026 I Build Consistency Into Weight Loss, Wellbeing, And Daily Life
Ready to stop resetting and start repeating what works? I’m sharing a full 2026 midlife plan for weight loss, wellness, and wellbeing that trades hype for systems and makes consistency feel doable. We start where change actually sticks: the environment. A walking pad replaces icy 4 a.m. gym drives, a portable sauna rewards effort, the pantry gets a clean sweep, and the basement becomes a movement zone. With new planners and simple skincare upgrades, habits shift from “shoulds” to rituals you look forward to.
Food gets clearer and calmer with protein set to goal weight, fiber-rich produce, and a circadian eating window that supports sleep and blood sugar. I share my morning electrolyte mix, bone broth routine, and the three-meal, low-grazing structure that keeps cravings quiet. Movement is all in-home: three weekly strength days, kettlebell swings, daily steps, short HIIT bursts, and Bend app mobility to ease back pain and boost range of motion. Tiny NEAT wins add up while a stand timer and lunchtime loops keep the day from calcifying.
Health care becomes proactive with twice-yearly comprehensive labs through Function Health, coordinated with my functional medicine doctor for thyroid, cortisol, insulin, and micronutrient insights. Mammogram, dermatology, dental, vision, and dietitian sessions via Nourish are booked—and I run through the supplement stack that actually supports these goals, from liquid collagen and omega-3s to magnesium glycinate at night. Mindset holds it all together with a monthly learning curriculum, morning pages from The Artist’s Way, short affirmations, and the Activations app for quick state shifts. We round it out with realistic money rhythms, relationship rituals like Sunday family dinners, and a content cadence to keep creativity alive.
If you’re craving a plan you can live with, steal the structure, adapt the details, and make consistency your superpower. Subscribe, share this with a friend who’s resetting too, and leave a review so more women can find their midlife glow.
Well, hello everyone. I am so happy to be back. I did take a quick break. Welcome to the Midlife Glowgetter Podcast. Newly rebranded was the Midlife Glow Report. So now we are the Midlife Glowgetter Podcast. I apologize for the break I took about three to four weeks. I was redoing my website, which is out today at www.jacksstyze.com J-A-X-S-T-Y-S. I'm doing a nutrition coaching program certification, redoing the website, like I stated. I just released a new monthly newsletter today, actually this evening. So you can still sign up if you're interested. And you know, I have real life, a full-time job in finance and caring for my elderly parents and still trying to make time for my older son and family and friends. So yeah, I've been busy, but no excuse. 2026 is coming in with full content, full force. So today I'm covering my complete 2026 Weight Loss, Wellness, and Wellbeing Reset Midlife Edition. So I'm gonna go through it's pretty intense, lots of information of what I'm planning on doing coming 2026. I do have a money reset episode coming out next week. Uh listen for that. That's my money reset for 2026. So really, I'm just really concentrating on wellness and well-being and weight loss, and then money reset. Those are my focuses for next year. So we'll get started. So, first things first, I'm getting ready for next year. I am buying all the things, getting prepped and ready, organizing my house. So I'll let you know what I've been doing since pretty much Thanksgiving, and this will continue through the end of December. So I bought a new walking pad. It was delivered a couple days ago. My old walking pad broke, stopped working. I moved it too many times, I think, and I banged it up. So I bought a new one for the Black Friday sale on Amazon. Really excited, super streamlined, foldable, still a wider belt. It is actually it raises, so I'm excited. I'm also re-moving my workout area to my basement instead of my den. So you so when I do film, if you watch that on social media, it will be a different setup. I'm buying all new supplements. I will provide the list later on in this episode. I bought a new journal and planners. So I bought a real nice journal from Amazon. And then I bought two planners. I bought one, the daily. You may have seen it on social media. It's super thick, full of information. I am liking it. I'm getting ready. I also bought my go-to golden coil where it's a custom planner. You plan everything you want inside that planner, and there's tons of options. That is being delivered this week. It is a little bit more costly. So my mom and dad are giving it to me as one of their Christmas gifts to me. So I'm excited about that. So I'll receive that on Christmas Day wrapped up from them. I am buying a sauna. I am buying it today from Costco. There is a sale. It is a portable sauna, super nice. It's lighter, it's not black, it's like a light gray cream. It goes up to I think 140 degrees, which is fine for me. So I am getting a new sauna and I'm putting it next to my uh area, my walking pad in the basement, which leads me to let you know that I am canceling my gym membership. It's so cold. And last year I really made all of the excuses in the book to not get out of my house at four o'clock in the morning, wipe the snow off my car in the ice, let my car warm up. You know, I'm in a safe area, but you never know, and it's dark out and I'm outside by myself. I'm a female. You know, something can happen. And I always got nervous doing that. Plus, walking into the gym, it's all icy. Sometimes I couldn't even make it because of the ice and snow. So I'm really setting up my home gym to work for me and my needs. And I am canceling a gym membership, so that'll save me like 60, 65 bucks a month. So I am excited about that. I'm buying new walking shoes. Actually, my sister is giving it to me as a Christmas gift. They are my go-to walking shoes from New Balance that I this will be the fourth set I've bought. I'm updating my skincare and my makeup. I'm buying a couple new pieces, which I'll show. Some of it came in yesterday. I am buying some new athleisure wear from Old Navy and HM, my go-to's. My niece works part-time with the uh old Navy, so as gifts, uh, she gets a really good discount. So I am taking advantage of that and buying myself some new athletes wear from old Navy. And then I do love HM as well. They're both very reasonable in cost and they're size inclusive. So I love those two stores. And then I am buying a new water bottle actually today. I picked one out on Amazon. I'm going back to Stanley and I'm getting a ruby red color. So really good energy. And then what I did do is I cleaned out my pantry. It's a larger pantry. Actually, I have two pantries, and I removed all the unhealthy food. I prepped my son and said, you know, we're not doing this. And he eats what I meal prep and he eats pretty healthy. So I removed some bags of Doritos, some tortilla chips, all the unhealthy food, and I donated unopened ones and purged the closed or the open ones. So, yep, I'm cleaned out the pantry and restocked with some healthy foods. So I'm all set there. Let's see here. The basement is uh being reorganized for my weight loss workout area. I'm almost done with that. Should be done this week. Uh, what else? My garage clean out. I was cleaning out my garage. I'm getting uh some shelving removed, reorganizing and purging my holiday decor, got rid of some lawn chairs. It's kind of difficult because it's cold, but I'm very ambitious. And so the garage is being uh almost complete. We'll probably be done in a week or two. So the garage clean outs. I did schedule all my medical dental vision appointments for quarter one, 2026. I am all set and I'll go over that later on in this episode. And so my 2026 wellness, weight loss, and well-being plan is in full motion. So we'll get into the nitty-gritty next, what I'm doing for nutrition, diet, movements, supplements, and what my plan is for next year. So here we go. So now we are getting into nutrition and diet reset section for 2026 that I'm planning. So I again, I know this sounds intense, everything I'm doing. I aim big. Sometimes I don't meet ever all my expectations, but I try, and that is keeps me positive and going, and I have big goals. So if this is overwhelming, you know, I apologize, but this is what works for me. So the nutrition and diet reset, this is what I'm doing for 2026, what my goals are. First, high protein, one gram of protein per goal weight. That my goal weight is. My goal weight is 135, so 135 grams of protein per day. That is a lot of protein, so I'm gonna try to hit that every day. So which means protein with every meal. And then my complex carbs are gonna be earlier in the day before 3 p.m. So I'll make sure I try to do that. I'm gonna aim for eight servings of greens, vegetables, and fruits per day, which will lead me into getting a high fiber diet, about 25 to 30 grams per day. So again, about eight servings of greens, vegetables, and fruits. So about 25 to 30 grams of fiber. About 120 ounces of water per day. I'll be able to do that with my new water bottle, 40 ounce, three of those a day. So 120 ounces of water. Daily electrolytes when I wake up. Um, I do have an electrolyte powder. I'm gonna get away from that. I'm gonna do a natural electrolyte, which includes how you make it is you have your water and then a pinch of pink Himalayan salt, a juice of half a lemon, one teaspoon of honey or maple syrup, and I put a splash of coconut water in there. So you drink that. I'm gonna do that first thing in the morning before I touch espresso, and I'm gonna drink a tall glass of that, 20-30 ounces. It'll be it sounds good, doesn't it? I haven't tried it yet, but that's I'm gonna make a natural one. It sounds a little sweet, and I'm gonna drink that hydrate, so that is my go-to. And then collagen. I'm gonna do, I've been doing this, I'm gonna continue a low sodium beef bone broth every day powder that I have. It is bought from Amazon. Everything I go over here, like the supplements and the uh the extras, I will link in the show notes if you want to see what I'm using. They're pretty much all through Amazon. So low sodium low sodium beef bone broth will help with my skin, collagen, and also there's some extra protein in that. And then I will limit to going out to eat to once a week if that. And if I do go out to week eat, it will not be during the work week. I will pack every day for work. It will probably be a Friday or Saturday evening out to dinner with family, friends, my son, that type of thing. But I'm gonna I'm gonna limit that to once a week if I even hit that. So no snacking between three structured meals per day. So no snacking, just three structured meals, reduce ultra-processed foods, which will actually happen because I'm not going out to eat and I'll be meal prepping everything. So ultra-processed foods will be reduced. I am going to eat in a calorie deficit and keep my macros aligned, which leads me to let you know that um I'll be tracking my meals daily in the nourish app. Um, I use the nourish app because that's where I meet with my dietitian online, doing the curbside groceries like I have been doing, which prevents temptation and also is better on my pocketbook. So I do everything curbside and plus it saves me time. So that's planning on that for next year, which I am doing right now. Meal prepping every Sunday, which I currently do, and I love that routine early in the morning meal prepping. I buy organic as much as possible, and I'm gonna continue that. And finally, something that I read about that I am pretty much doing, but I'll tweak it a little bit, is circadium rhythm eating window. So you only eat when it's light out, so that's basically 7, 7:30 a.m. till about 5:30, 6 p.m. So I do that pretty much right now. So I'm gonna make sure I stick to that and no more late night snacks. So yes, eating to the circadian rhythm eating window. So that's it. That is my set for diet and nutrition reset for next year. So now this is my movement reset for 2026. Remember, I am canceling my gym membership. This is all in home, what I have, what I've invested in. So we'll get right into it. First, uh strength training, which is body weight exercises I'm gonna do at home with some weights and resistance bands. Three days a week, I'm gonna concentrate on that. I'm gonna do Wednesdays, Saturdays, and Sundays, because with my work schedule now, I will be having Wednesdays off, working every Saturday only half a day, and then Sundays off. So those are really good days for me to get extra movement in when I have time in the morning. And then walking daily, which won't be hard with my new walking pad, aiming between 10 and 15,000 steps per day. That is my goal per day, walking daily. Hit my walking pad, does go higher in speed, so hit two to three days a week. So doing hit and then kettleball swings, uh, 100 kettlebell swings every day, especially for the first 30 days of 2026. 100 kettlebell swings. Stretching, I use the bend app and I do stretches about 15 minutes in the morning after I have my water and 15 minutes in the evening before I go to bed. I do like the bend app, B-E-N-D. I love the stretching. I feel so energized in the morning after I do it, and then in the evening I do some different ones and I feel very calm and ready to lay down in my bed and sleep. So it really is helpful. Plus, I feel like my mobility is getting better, and my back pain is not as significant anymore. So I really enjoy stretching and I'm gonna continue that. And then daily movement, also called neat movement. I'm gonna make sure I stick to that, don't be lazy, you know, empty the dishwasher, clean the counters in the kitchen and bathroom, vacuum every every week, mop the floors every week, take the garbage out, carry the groceries in the house. All this movement adds up to better movement with your body, burning calories. So don't be lazy. Get the stuff done. I'm cleaning out my garage, reorganizing my basement. I am doing it's a win-win. I'm getting the burn calories, and my house is looking better. So stay active with everyday movement. And then I have a stand-up desk at work. I sand every 45 minutes to an hour. I will set that on timer and I will continue that for 2026. Every day at work, I walk at lunchtime. It's been very cold here in Cleveland, very icy and snowy and blustery. So I do walk through Target, which is right there where I work, or I walk through TJ Maxx, which is also right there. So I do get my exercise. I get a little nervous going through Target because I want all the things, and I'm on a money reset as well. But it's nice to look in Windows shop and control yourself and get that movement in, maybe grab a cup of coffee and just really get out of that work mode and get a break for 45 minutes and walk. So, and that plus gets it extra steps. And then I'm going to try to do one outdoor walk per week, especially January, February, and March because of the weather. I'm going to try to do that on Sundays if weather cooperates. I'm going to bundle up, uh, dress warm and do a walk. Again, if it is icy, I will not do it. I will not take the chance of slipping and falling and hurting myself. But if the weather cooperates, I will do one outdoor walk per week. So that's it. That is my movement reset for 2026. So now here is my medical dental and vision reset for 2026. All the appointments, everything I'm doing. I have gotten a head start and scheduled everything. So first, I purchased a package through function health. Those blood work, it is much more effective regarding cost and the tests they do versus what my functional medicine uh doctor does with the institute at Cleveland Clinic. Last year, when I got the blood work done, I got all the things. I had 32, 33 vials of blood, all the tests you can imagine. And that with my insurance still out of pocket was about$1,500 or$1,800. So with function health, I'm getting all the same tests twice a year. And they had a sale, they may still have it. IP 365, which is very reasonable, including a full thyroid thyroid panel, cortisol, AMPM check, sex hormones, my fasting insulin, HBA1C, lipids, vitamin D, magnesium, B12, gut microbiome test, food sensitivity test, liver enzymes, ferritin, iron. So really good blood work that I'm expecting hopefully positive results. And all these results are transferred to my doctor at Cleveland Clinic with the Function Medicine Institute. And I already talked to my doctor, he said, yes, do that. That's what I could use. And so it's all set. I have two appointments set in January, all scheduled, ready to go, and that will get the blood work. And then to follow up with that, I scheduled my function health appointment with my functional medicine doctor to go over the blood work and see what needs to be tweaked and improved, see the difference compared to last year. And that is the first week of February. He'll have the results by then, he'll review them and we'll be ready the first week of February to meet with him. So that is scheduled. And then I scheduled my OBGYN with the Women's Institute, Health Institute with the Cleveland Clinic. And then also I scheduled an appointment with a doctor with that institute for hormone replacement therapy, first testing, and then possibly HRT. I'm currently not on it. I am in perimenopause. So we will see if I need it, if I'm at a candidate for it, and if it will help me. So I have an appointment for that come February. And then I have my dietitian appointments lined up with Nourish, which is an app, website online. It's all virtual. They have seven days a week, Monday through uh Sunday appointments. And I do it Sunday on a workday that I'm off, and it's convenient for me, and it's a one-hour appointment. We go all through my macros, recipes, suggestions, and I've had very good luck. I've already done two or three appointments, so I'm gonna continue that in 2026. Nourish. And then I have scheduled my mammogram the first week of January, so that is in the books. I scheduled my dermatology skin check once a year, that's in March, so that is scheduled. I have my first dental cleaning exam, which is in January, that is scheduled. I have my vision exam scheduled in February, which I didn't go. In 2025. I don't believe I have any changes. I just wear glasses sometimes at night when driving, but everything else, I don't wear glasses. Um, so we will see how my eyes are. I don't see any changes, like I said, but it's good to get your check. And plus, I pay for insurance, so why not? So all those are set in the books scheduled. I did already prep the days I want off from work to go around my schedule. Even for my New Year's reset, getting all the things organized. I have off the first, obviously, because that's New Year's Day. I have off the second because that's a Friday. I took off that day. I have off Saturday and Sunday, and then I have off the fifth, which is a Monday. So I have a break Thursday through Monday to get completely set, organized, ready in the books for the new year. So I took off those days to do all the things. So yeah, those are my medical, dental, and vision appointments that I'm doing, plus the blood work. So I'm all set with that reset. Okay, so now these are my supplement reset for 2026. Some of these I already take, some of them I'm adding to. They will be linked in the show notes in case you want to see what I'm taking. So I take a liquid collagen every day. I've been doing that for the last 45 days in 2025. So I will continue that for 2026. They do say a liquid collagen is better than a powder. It gets more into the system, more absorbed. So I do take a liquid collagen. And then I started a biotin by catechor. It's got some extra ingredients. Um, so far, so good. So I will continue with that. Uh fatty 15, very good. I take fatty 15, a little pricey, but I do love it. The omega-3s, I take omega-3. I take a fluorester probiotic, and I will continue that. Vitamin D3K2, every day I just take 2000. And then my colostrum, I mix with my protein coffee, colostrum, NAD for longevity and cell repair, NAD. Fiber powder, I put inside my protein coffee. It absorbs really well. I have a good one that I use. I'll link it. So extra fiber with fiber powder, a fiber supplement, and then protein powder. I have a new protein powder, and I'm gonna use that. I just recently bought it, and that will be my protein coffee every day for my breakfast with some fruit or veggies, and then magnesium glycinate at night. I take that before I go to bed. It relaxes me and it does all the things. So magnesium glycinate. So those are my supplements and my supplement reset for 2026. Now is the self-development and mindset reset for 2026 section. I'm really loving this. I do a lot of this already. I thought I'd share this in here. So I do listen to podcasts daily. I have a whole list in my library on Apple Podcasts. I listen while I get ready for work, while I'm doing my makeup, while I'm cleaning my skin. I have a stereo in my shower. I listen while I'm in the shower. I listen commutes to and from work when I'm doing errands, even at work on downtime. Also, the other thing is audiobooks. I listen to so many audiobooks. I set up a learning curriculum the first of every month. I have a list in audio audible of all the books I'm planning on listening. I also use the Libby app, which is free books through my local library, audio or reading books. So I do a lot of audible all the times also, mornings getting ready at work, commute, that sort of thing. So, and then I read daily, actual read about one hour per day. In the evenings before I go to bed, some downtime at work. I will read about one hour per day. I do buy books. Sometimes I even read and listen to the matching audiobook if it is a difficult subject, if it is hard to soak in. And I really learn that way. Really, I really pay attention and I really soak up all the things by listening to the audiobook and following along with the book and reading. It really, really helps me. And then what else? I will journal every day. I'm doing the artist's way. I started that where you journal three pages every morning and you also do a solo date by yourself to different places, even just to Target, just to get out and to look at the different things. Maybe go to the museum, maybe go out to eat by yourself or to a movie, coffee shop. So solo date once a week, plus journaling three days or three pages a day. So I am doing the journaling and the solo dates. And then affirmations daily. And what I do is in the morning I have some voice notes I created that I listen to briefly. It takes two minutes. And then I listen to the activations app. Check out activations, it is phenomenal. Read about it. I couldn't even explain it. It's literally voice notes from a woman who runs the app, and they're so calming and so inspiring, and they're played to music and beautiful scenery, and you just listen to it, and it really there's all different subjects like Lucky Girl Energy, things like that that really you can listen to anything when you're calm, when you're um excited, and so the activations app. And finally, my monthly curriculum. I did mention that I set up a monthly curriculum every first of the month. All the audiobooks and podcasts I'm planning on listening to, all the books I'm planning on reading. If I'm taking any courses at Udemy or Coursera, right now I'm doing a nutrition uh coaching course certification. So I really set up my curriculum and I actually schedule it in my calendar, my Google calendar and my to-dos every week. Then when I set out my intentions, so I take learning and curriculum, personal curriculum very seriously. So, yeah, that is my self-development and mindset reset for 2026. So now this is my style reset for 2026. Again, I am not buying a lot of clothing because of my weight loss journey. I just I don't believe in investing that. But I am buying some athleisure wear, like I mentioned earlier from Old Navy and HM. I'm getting some Christmas gifts from there. I do have some work clothes that are nice, but I can wear casual athleisure wear to work, which I absolutely, absolutely love. So I'm buying some new athleisure wear for style, and I'm gonna dress all cute when I work on and when I go to work and when I do my errands. Uh, like I mentioned, I'm buying the new walking shoes. I'm getting them as a Christmas gift. So I have a brand new clean white tennis shoes, and then I am purging my clothing. I did this in 2025, early spring. I'm gonna redo it. There are some items that are too big now: some jackets, some sweaters, some sweatshirts. So there's a lot of items. So I'm gonna purge my clothing out of my closet, which leads me to say that I want to get a new closet organizer, a new system. So I want to get that done by March. And then, which leads me then to say that I want to get a new dresser, vanity, and mirror, long, long-length mirror from my bedroom and a vanity and a new dresser. I have some I looked at. I may pull the trigger in January. I know that's not exactly style, but it's gonna hold my style items and inspire me. So new dresser, vanity, and mirror. Finally, new under the bed storage. My bedroom isn't super large, and I want to utilize all the storage I can. So I want to get some under my bed storage. So that is kind of like my style prep reset for 2026. So now this is a long list, but I'm excited to share is my beauty reset for 2026. Many of these things I'm already doing, maybe not as consistent, but this year, 2026 is all about consistency. So I'm really carrying a lot of things over I've done in 2025, but I'm being more consistent, more thoughtful about it. So, first things with beauty, I'm going to use my red light therapy mask daily. Right now, I'm doing about four or five times a week. I'm gonna do it every day for 15 minutes, either in the morning or in the evening, which I'll link that mask. And then I'm gonna eat a handful of blueberries every day. I do buy blueberries from the grocery store every week. I'm gonna make sure I eat a handful every day for the antioxidants. Plus, I'm going to eat a handful of nuts every day for skin elasticity and fiber and protein. So a handful of nuts. And then green tea daily, that helps with the antioxidants. So I'm gonna cut back a little bit on the coffee and espresso. Any more green tea, I mentioned earlier the low sodium beef bone broth for collagen and for protein, so that will help my skin. I'm gonna make that more consistent daily, be consistent with skincare, which I already am, a.m. and PM daily, so skincare. I'm starting goua shying and ice rolling and under-eye mask daily. Um so I started that about a week ago. I'm gonna continue that for 2026. My eyes get a little swollen underneath my eyes, I get a little swollen. So that really has been helping. And then my humidifier daily in my bedroom, uh, which I already do. I'm gonna continue that. My canopy humidifier, oil lotion and powder on body daily after I shower. So the oil, the body lotion, and then the body powder. Um I sometimes I don't do it, but most of them I do, but I'm gonna make it more consistent every day. And then dermaplane and brow maintenance once a week, every Saturday or Sunday. So, and I do do that, gonna continue to do that. I have a facial spray that I was using on and off that I'm gonna use at work because it's a little dry. So I will make sure I buy that facial spray and use it daily to keep my face moist and clean and just very, very clean. And then lotion on my feet a p.m. before I go to bed with socks. And then I'm gonna try lotion on my hands with little lotion hand gloves covers while I sleep. So it's supposed to help. So lotion on hands and feet every evening before bed. Exfoliate my body once a week, every uh every week in my everything shower, which I already do, deep condition my hair once a week, which I already do. I only I shower daily, but I only wash my hair once a week. So I will continue that. I do the teeth care twice a twice a day, including brushing, flossing, and oil pulling twice a day, which I will continue. I will take more effort into my nails. I am, I do sometimes pick at my nails, but I will do a small manicure every week and paint them a clear coat or a light color. And then, like I mentioned, the gouache, I'm gonna do the ice rolling every morning, my face. And so that's it. That is my beauty routine reset for 2026, and the key is more consistency. So I'm gonna touch briefly on my money reset for 2026. I am gonna dedicate next week's episode completely to the money reset I'm doing for next year. That is high priority, but I'm gonna touch on it to give a little taste, give you a little taste of what to expect. So I do daily check-ins with my money. I'm not gonna go into detail, but it takes like 10 minutes in the morning. So a daily money check-in and then week weekend check-ins once a week on Saturdays. I do a money weekly reset. Uh, and so that's uh once a week, and then once a month, end of month reviews and prep. So I review my my past month, all money things, and then I project what I'm planning for the following month. So projections. And that includes all things like budget, savings, debt, payoff, 401k retirement, all the things I review. And then I'm I'm planning on trying to increase my income, opening up coaching um early quarter one, 2026, maybe doing some affiliate marketing, increasing my income, getting a raise at work, getting a bonus. So I've already talked to my manager at work. I addressed all the things I did this past year, how I have improved since last year, and all the extra tasks I've taken on in the department, and how it I can justify a higher raise than last year. So I have addressed it. I actually addressed it with her on Thursday this past week. So, and it went really, really well. And uh, she agrees with me. So I'm very excited. And then that's increasing my income for 2026. And then I really want to stop impulse buying. I have slowed down with that, but once in a while I see something on Amazon that I've gotta have. So I'm really being adamant with my wish list, a running notes app, a notes folder in my notes app on my phone. Finally, I'm gonna plan, which goes hand in hand, plan all my purchases, and I'm gonna do a 48-hour window wait. So that's it. That's a brief touch on my money reset for 2026. So here is my relationship reset for 2026, being more thoughtful, more mindful. So doing once a week on Sunday afternoons a family dinner, a sit-down family dinner at my home or a sister's homes or parents'. So a sit-down family dinner. You know, two hours of really talking with my family and spending quality time, even cooking with them and cleaning up, and then chatting on the phone once a week with my friends, just actually having a chat, and then texting a couple times during the week, a quick voice note or a text, just to say I'm thinking of them. And then time with quality time with my son two to three times a week, just really quality time, and then my family text chat uh messages, you know, checking in daily, seeing how everyone's doing, giving a piece of motivation or inspiration, and just touching with them via text on the family chat. And then finally, quality time with my parents twice a week minimum. They're upper 80s, you know, I don't have much time with them, and they mean the world to me. So, really quality time with my parents. So that's it. That is my relation reset for 2026, being more mindful and more thoughtful and putting more effort in. Next is my content creation reset plan for 2026, and again, this theme again is consistency. So I want to shoot out one reel per day, every day on my social media. I want to send one carousel per day, every day, on my social media. I want to be consistent with this podcast. I know I took a mini break. I want to do one podcast per week, record and submit every Monday morning a podcast once a week. Consistency. And then my new website, a blog post, you know, an update three to four times a week. I really want to be consistent with that. I'm loving my new website, check it out. And I just created a Substack, so I am being a little bit different. Content on Substack, same theme, but a little spin on a different blog post in a Substack format with some notes in Substack. So I created a Substack, uh, which you can find. And then my newsletter. I am pretty consistent with that. I send it out once a month, but I'm gonna step it up. I'm gonna try to do some more touches during the month, maybe every other week, a touch and send some quality information that will bring value to my readers and subscribers. So it is all about consistency that next year, and that includes my content and content creation. So that's it for a content creation reset 2026. So that's it. That's a wrap for my wellness, weight loss, and well-being reset for 2026. I hope you enjoyed. I hope you brought value to you. So if you did, if you would leave a review, I would greatly appreciate it. It helps other women like you, like me, find this podcast. Be on the lookout for next week episode, which will be the money, my money reset for 2026. And I'll go through all the things, money and finances that I'm planning on doing to pay off the remaining part of my debt and to increase savings and retirement. I think the key word for next year is consistency, by the way. A lot of these things I introduced today, I'm doing, but not consistently in 2025. So I'm gonna tweak it, improve it, and be consistent for 2026, which leads me to say that in the show notes, there will be a checklist of all the things that I introduced today that you could print out and view and maybe apply to yourself for next year. Uh so there will be a checklist uh reset for 2026 in the show notes. So I hope you guys have a great week ahead. I appreciate you. I truly appreciate you. I find doing this podcast and my content creation really like a new hobby, a new, a new hobby that I could really love. My son is older now, and now I have so much time, so I'm really trying to find myself, invest in myself, and find something I really truly love. And this is it content creation, the podcast, the website, and eventually the coaching. So I just love meeting you and talking to all of you, making some new friends online, and I truly appreciate you. You guys have a great week ahead, and I will touch in next week. Take care. Love, Jax.
