BAJ Training

Determination, grit, strength. All of these describe my grandma. This past weekend, my family traveled to Florida to celebrate her 99th birthday.

Can you imagine? Ninety-nine years old and still determined to get up and dance.

She’s never counted macros or tracked workouts. She just cooked most of her meals, moved throughout the day, and didn’t overdo the things she enjoyed.

It wasn’t about rules or restrictions — it was simply how she lived.

Sure, genetics play their part, but I also think there’s something powerful in the quiet, steady effort of caring for yourself day after day — even when no one’s watching.

She’s a reminder that we can’t control everything — it’s about giving our future selves the chance to dance, too.

The last couple of weeks have been busy. Like, “how is it already halfway through October?” kind of busy.😮

I’ve caught myself thinking, there’s just not enough time. But here’s the thing — I don’t want to be the person who always says, “I don’t have time.” Even though, yes, sometimes that’s true.

When I start feeling that way, I try to pause and reframe.

Instead of saying, I don’t have time, I ask myself, what can I do with the time I have?
Especially for the things that tend to get pushed aside — walking, running, hobbies, or just moving my body in general.

Here are a few things that help me:

✅ Lists. I do a quick brain dump — everything that needs to get done for the week. Then I pull from that and create a smaller daily list with priorities and checkboxes. No more scattered thoughts or forgotten tasks.

🗓️ Calendaring. If it’s important, it gets time on my calendar. If it’s not scheduled, it usually doesn’t happen.

So here’s the challenge 👇

The next time you think, I want to go for a walk or get a workout in, but I don’t have time, grab your calendar.

Find a small block — even 15 minutes — and put it in.

It doesn’t have to be perfect. It doesn’t have to be an hour.

Just make it happen. 🙌

Because something is always better than nothing. 🤗
