My Fitness & Health Plan for 2026 + Reflecting on How I Lost 15 Pounds 2025

In this episode, I’m taking you behind the scenes of my 2025 fitness journey — the wins, the pivots, and what I learned by really paying attention to my own body. I tracked a lot this past year (not just weight), and looking back has given me so much clarity heading into 2026.

I’m sharing:

The biggest takeaways from my year of cardio, and why it’s become a non-negotiable

How intermittent fasting worked for me (and what I’d tweak moving forward)

Why tracking my own evidence was a game-changer

How I’m balancing strength, mobility, and endurance — without burning out

My personal fitness goals for 2026 and how I’m setting myself up to actually stick to them

If you’re reflecting on your own routines or craving a more aligned approach to movement and health this year, I hope this episode feels like a permission slip to do what works for you.

💛 Thanks for being here — come hang out with me on Instagram [@joellesuess] and let me know what your 2026 goals are!
