What You Can Do in 6 Months

Hello, today marks six months of writing this newsletter. For that reason, I thought it would be fitting to write about what you can accomplish in six months. Six months ago was just June… but also 26 Mondays ago (Yikes).

Either way, half a year is the perfect finish line for any health or fitness goal. It’s long enough to see real, physical change — but close enough that it doesn’t feel like a fantasy timeline.

And honestly?
The most meaningful transformations aren’t just the muscle you build or the weight you lose…

It’s who you become in the process.

No… you won’t lose 100lbs or morph into the third undiscovered Jenner sister (maybe).

But you can:

• Build real habits

• Get significantly stronger

• Lose a noticeable amount of weight

• Improve your energy, mood, confidence, and routine

In six months, you might need a whole new wardrobe.
In six months, you might be signing up for a half marathon.
In six months, your coworkers might be asking:
“Wait… what are you doing? You look amazing.”

How to Build a Legit 6 Month Transformation

Month 1-2: The Habit Building Phase

This phase is quite honestly the hardest phase. This is when you have to take a hard look at your lifestyle. You have to figure out what can stay and what should go. This phase is all about establishing routines, building habits, and creating structure. In these first couple months it can be a good idea to hire a trainer for accountability, track your food (protein and fiber at least), prioritize a step goal, and even try to improve your sleep habits.

Month 3-4: The “Wait this is Actually Working” Phase

This is where the fun begins. You start to get those habits down. Eating healthily is less of a chore and more of a way of life. Your body is starting to respond. The scale may be going down, clothes are fitting looser, and you’re getting stronger in gym. These are all big confidence boosts that keep you going.

Month 5-6: The “Victory Lap” Phase

Ahhh the victory lap. Everything is starting to fall into place. You are starting to accomplish some goals you set in the beginning. You know how to make healthy meals. You walk into the gym with a plan. Strength gains keep going up. People around you notice. You’re basically a local at your gym. Your identity has shifted. Your measurements are down, but your confidence is up!

And the best part? You did it.
You built habits, stayed consistent, and let the results compound.

If the Last Six Months Weren’t Perfect… Who Cares?

Maybe things didn’t go as planned.
Maybe they were amazing.
Maybe it was a rollercoaster.

It doesn’t matter.

The next six months are coming whether you change or not.

So, ask yourself:
“What could I do that would make me unrecognizable six months from now?”

And make the goal sound a little crazy.
Six months is longer than your brain thinks.
