And just like that… we’re already halfway through January. How are those goals holding up? Still feeling motivated—or starting to feel a little “meh”? If you need a reset (or just a reminder that you’re doing better than you think), feel free to steal a few of my go-to tips for a successful January—and honestly, a strong year ahead.

Steal My Tips For A Successful January

First up: schedule your workouts. Motivation is cute, but a plan is powerful. When workouts are on my calendar, they happen. I don’t overthink it—I aim for consistency, not perfection. Even 30 minutes counts, and showing up always feels better than skipping.

Next, plan just 2–3 dinners for the week ahead. That’s it. Not seven. Not a color-coded spreadsheet. A few solid meals plus leftovers save time, money, and decision fatigue. Bonus: leftovers = future you saying thank you.

Make-ahead breakfasts are a total game-changer. Overnight oats, egg bites, yogurt bowls—whatever works for you. Mornings are smoother when you’re not staring into the fridge wondering how cereal became your entire personality.

Another non-negotiable: keep healthy snacks within arm’s reach. If I have protein bars, nuts, fruit, or some crunchy veggies on hand, I make better choices without feeling deprived. Convenience matters.

And finally, the most underrated tip of all: prioritize your sleep. Less scrolling, more rest. Sleep fuels better workouts, better food choices, better moods—and honestly, better everything.

Couple sleeping

January isn’t about doing everything perfectly. It’s about building simple habits that support the life you want. Start where you are, steal what works, and keep going. You’ve got this 💪✨

About Deborah Brooks

Hi I'm Deborah! I spend my days successfully raising a husband & 2 teens in the VA/DC area. I am a lover of all things running & fitness. As a life long vegetarian, I've always been passionate about healthy living & exercise. Looking for partners in crime, I started my own chapter of Moms Run This Town (MRTT) which has grown to over 700 members. I've met so many amazing women who inspire me daily to keep moving forward. You can usually find me running with my crew and training for the next crazy adventure they talked me into. I love to keep up to date on new running & fitness trends. I definitely choose my running gear based on color and love to express my fashion sense while exercising.
