The best morning routine? Starts the night before.

Being a “success” at the expense of your health and family isn’t really a success.

Blame = Be Lame

One of the greatest gifts you can give your kids is an example of lifelong health.

The words we use make a big difference in how we approach things. ❌ "I can't eat this cookie." ✅ "I choose not to have this cookie." One is limiting. The other is empowering. Choose your words wisely.

What you eat in private you wear in public.

The best diet in the world is the one you can actually stick with.

Confidence comes from consistently keeping the promises you make to yourself.

Doing something, however small, is better than doing nothing.

Meet Janice. 52 pounds lost with MBT! “I've never been more successful at work. More successful in my close relationships. More successful in the gym. In the kitchen. I love getting ready in the morning now, I love getting dressed up for date night, and I love how I move and feel in the gym now.”

Running away from hard things feels good in the short-term but horrible in the long-term.

If you eat when you’re stressed, sad, or overwhelmed… Your brain has learned that food = relief. But relief is temporary. And the guilt that follows? That’s the real problem.

No one created the body of their dreams overnight. Don’t let your desire for perfection get in the way of progress.

Question to ask before eating: Am I feeding my body or my emotions? The answer changes everything.

Most people overestimate what they can do in a day and underestimate what they can do in a year. Progress isn’t about speed, it’s about consistency.

Emotional eating is never about the food. It’s about what the food allows you to avoid.

Friendly reminder that you probably already know what you should be doing. What's the smallest action you can take right NOW to make progress toward your goals?

Friendly reminder that the short workout we do is better than the "perfect" workout we don't do.

Everyone wants to be healthy and fit, but it’s just too easy to make promises to ourselves and break them. The missing link isn’t more information or a new plan. It’s accountability. Meet Kim. 62 pounds lost with MyBodyTutor!

The longer I'm in the fitness space, the more I realize it's a "mindset" game which is why most people find it so hard to persist.

What people think it is: Motivation → Action What it actually is: Action → Motivation

You can have the perfect workout plan, but if you never go to the gym you’ll never get fit. At some point you have to stop strategizing, and start doing.

Running away from hard things feels good in the moment but bad in the long run; doing hard things feels bad in the moment but good in the long run.

Don’t let comparison rob you of your peace. Your journey is yours, and yours alone.

I ended 2024 twenty pounds lighter than when I started, largely thanks to @mybodytutor.com (thanks @joelhooks.com). The most surprising thing is that these overnight oats are doing a huge amount of heavy lifting. They keep me full in the morning & set the tone for the day.

Every successful person I know has one thing in common: They make a habit of doing things they don’t feel like doing.

What’s one fitness goal you have for 2025?

One of the greatest gifts you can give your kids is an example of life-long health.

Obsess over progress, not perfection.

Most people wait for happiness to come to them. But what if you could engineer it instead? The Happiness Trigger:

There’s never a “perfect” time to focus on your health. There’s always something on the horizon. There’s always a reason to delay action. Just realize that making time for your health will help you handle everything else better.

The best investment you can make is in your health. If you’re sick, nothing else matters.

A 10-minute workout will always beat the hour-long one you skip. Don’t let optimal get in the way of beneficial.

Most people let 5% of meals they can't control ruin the other 95%. The Holiday Effect (and how to beat it):

Fitness isn’t just about looking good—it’s about showing up as the best version of yourself. When you take care of your health, everything else improves: work, relationships, energy, focus. Neglect it, and the rest starts to slip too. Quality of health = Quality of life

The best fitness plan isn’t Instagrammable. It’s sustainable. Highlight reels look sexy, but daily habits get results. Meet Daniel. 97 pounds lost with MyBodyTutor!

Most people don't think about their health until it's gone…. then it's ALL they think about. Things I know about fitness at 41 that I wish I knew at 21:

Meet Linda. 50 pounds gone with MyBodyTutor! In Linda’s own words: “At 65, I never thought I would be able to lose this much weight and without agony. I don’t remember the last time I felt so good. It’s been years. MyBodyTutor is the best thing that’s happened to me since I put on weight.”

Being unhealthy isn’t embarrassing; doing nothing about it is. Start small. Start today.

Reminder: What you do on bad days matters more than what you do on good ones.

Do you practice mental hygiene? Every day, we brush our teeth, bathe, change our clothes, etc. Why not also prioritize exercise, eating healthy, writing, walking, spending time with loved ones.
