How We Spend Our Days
“How we spend our days is, of course, how we spend our lives.”
– Annie Dillard
This quote has been taped above my computer for over 20 years. It came on a Christmas card from old B-school friends, and I saved it because it struck me so deeply. Every day it reminds me: the small, ordinary choices we make—our routines—shape our health and our lives.
For me, those basics look like:
Breathe. Read. Write. Coffee. Motivate. Move. Macros. Work. Micros. Connect. Move again. Macros. Rest.
Your list will look different—and that’s the point. Our seasons, environments, work, and joys aren’t the same, so our health paths can’t be either.
After years of coaching, I know this: holistic health is a marathon, not a sprint. At JRAPPFIT, we don’t start with calorie deficits or energy balance. We build a personal roadmap—your rhythm for health that fits your life.
Kristen’s journey proves it works.
She joined in April, tired and frustrated. With a full-time job, three active high school kids, constant travel, and a never-ending to-do list, she had no extra time—but she had determination.
We began with simple conversations, a quick check on her current eating habits, and an exercise plan that fit her schedule. Like many of us, Kristen hoped for big changes in 60–90 days. Progress felt slow at times, but she showed up—especially on the messy days.
Today, she feels incredible—not just from weight lost, but energy gained, confidence built, and habits that now feel natural. Kristen transformed her health with a growth mindset and consistent small actions, not quick fixes.
Her story reminds us: how we spend our days—the meals we choose, the movement we make, the rest we allow—becomes the story of our lives.
Your story can start with a single step.
Want a place to start? Try this simple resistance plan:
Pick 4 exercises:
Hip/Glute Bridge
Bicep Curl
Wall or Chair Squat
Single-Arm Row
Do 3 sets of 10 reps each
Tempo: 2 seconds up, breathe, 2 seconds down. Keep steady breath and tension.
Even one weekly strength session can build the habit and strengthen your bones over time.
And back to Kristen—she’s amazing! I held her accountable and guided her, but SHE did the work. Building a whole-health plan unique to you feels incredible.
