🍂 Week 4: Reflect, Reset, Repeat
You've made it to Week 4! This is your moment to pause and feel proud, not for being perfect, but for showing up, adjusting, and growing. This week is all about integration - keeping the habits that support you and letting go of the rest.
🔥 Your Movement Plan
Kickboxing Workouts
🥊 Monday: “Energy Flow” - Power & mobility fusion
🥊 Wednesday: “Final Strike” - Celebration cardio
Daily Goal
🚶♀️ 10,000 steps a day
Keep going strong or take a nature walk and reflect. Movement now feels like part of life, not a chore.
💧 Hydration: Hold the Habit
By now, hydration should feel natural. Keep these small rituals:
✅ Morning lemon water
✅ Glass before meals
✅ Refill your bottle before heading out
💡 Bonus Tip: Try a simple hydration tracker or tick a box each time you drink, it keeps the habit alive post-challenge.
🥄 Nutrition Focus: Keep What Works
This week is all about reflection and refinement. Ask yourself:
✅ What meals made me feel nourished and satisfied?
✅ What habits came easily - prepping, shopping, cooking?
✅ What’s one thing I can keep doing every week?
🔁 This is not about starting over - it’s about continuing forward with awareness. Maybe that’s a Sunday soup prep, daily greens, or a no-snack evening. Small = powerful.
