January: Movement and Transition.
The girls headed back to university and I packed up and moved to the sunshine for a couple of months, though it’s been colder than expected. I’m missing the English countryside and its clear air, but there’s something I really enjoy about the simplicity of a city park too.

Evening walks have become a favourite again, especially after eating. They’re great for blood sugar, digestion and catching up on my latest audio.

January motivation was a buzz, but I was careful not to lean into it for too long. Motivation fades. What holds is structure.

A glance at Jan

Walking continues to be the one constant that grounds me, especially when life involves movement and change.

Travelling regularly is the reason I needed a fitness routine I could take anywhere and return to easily.

No equipment, no payments, just my legs and a clear goal. I’ve noticed that when things slow down, it can take a moment to pick up pace and feel steady again, but the structure I use through Boost holds.

No matter what’s happening around me, my steps consistently return to that familiar rhythm as my 10k framework stays the same.

February Wins

1️⃣Remove one food habit
Instead of changing everything, choose one thing to remove for February that doesn’t add to your health and likely drives weight gain. Juice, sugary snacks, excessive nuts. One decision. Hold it for the month.

2️⃣Remove daily decisions
Overplanning creates decision fatigue. Decide once when you’ll walk. Morning, lunchtime or evening. Fix the time and stop negotiating with yourself.

3️⃣Remove mental clutter
If there are niggly things you’ve carried into 2026, ring-fence a short daily slot to deal with them. Do a little, then step outside. Clearing your mind works better when your body moves too.

From my Walks & Reads

I’ve been listening to James, and it’s stayed with me. The life of a Southern slave holds no easy endings, but it’s a powerful reminder of perspective and how important it is to make the most of the life and choices we do have. Listening makes it easier to choose being active

My Promise for February - What's yours?

This month, I’m choosing to hold it steady.
Repeating what works, resisting rash changes and building on the belief I carried into January.

Progress doesn’t need drama. It needs consistency.

What’s one thing you’re committing to hold steady this month?
