Start Strong: A Journey2YourResults Pre-New Year Reset
Don’t Wait for January: Start Your Fitness Journey Now with This 5-Week Holiday Health Reset
Week 1: Why Waiting for January Is Holding You Back

The calendar may say it’s December, but you don’t have to wait for January to begin again. In fact, if you’re serious about your goals—health, energy, confidence, or simply feeling like yourself again—right now is the perfect time to take the first step in your journey.
I created this 5-week reset because every year, I see people wait until New Year’s Day to “get back on track.” But here’s the truth: If it matters to you in January, it matters today. Why Wait?
Why Now Is the Power Move
From November to January the holidays gets a bad reputation. It’s busy. It’s cold. There is every type of food from the turkey to the cookies everywhere. But that’s exactly why starting now gives you a jump on your goals.
Instead of putting your health on hold, you’re choosing to build momentum before the year even ends. That means when others are making resolutions on January 1st, you’ll already be in motion.
Think of it as getting a head start—not perfection, but progress. And progress is powerful.
🧡 This Series Is for You If…
- You want to feel good again but don’t know where to begin
- You’re tired of starting over every January
- You want to enjoy the holidays without losing yourself in the process
- You’re ready for small steps that lead to lasting change
