The holidays don't have to derail your fitness. Kat shares 6 practical strategies to help you stay on track, build resilience, and stop the guilt spiral—without sacrificing time with family.

The 6 Strategies

1. Give Yourself Permission for One Small Win – A 15-minute walk counts. Celebrate ANY movement.
2. The Short Memory Rule – Stop replaying missed workouts. Focus on what you can do TODAY.
3. Swap, Don't Skip – Have 20 minutes instead of 60? Do the 20. Adapt, don't quit.
4. Just Start – The hardest part is beginning. Once you do, your mind shifts.
5. Reframe What Today Means – Measure success by what moved you forward, not what you missed.
6. Build Your Resilience Muscle – Every time you adapt, you get stronger. Skills that last a lifetime.

Key Takeaway

Consistency over perfection. Small wins have power. You're not failing—you're adapting.

The episode encourages listeners to move away from all-or-nothing thinking, redefine their success metrics, and prioritize small, consistent actions over perfection.

Have you ever felt like a vacation totally derailed your workouts? Like everything was finally clicking… and then spring break or summer hits, and boom, momentum is gone?

You’re not alone. But what if I told you that taking a break doesn’t have to mean starting over?

In this episode of Miles From Her View, I’m sharing the exact mindset and strategies I coach my KatFit Strength clients through so they can take time off without spiraling into the all-or-nothing trap. Whether it’s spring break, a two-week summer trip, or a rough week at home, you’ll learn how to keep progressing, even when life gets lifey.

I’ll discuss real client examples (like Jess and Sarah), explain how I handled my own 12-day national park trip in the middle of 100-mile ultra training, and give you actionable ways to prep for and bounce back from any break.

Because fitness isn’t about perfection, it’s about flexibility.

You’ll learn:

• What to do before a vacation to stay consistent
• How to reframe “time off” as part of your training
• Why movement counts (even when it’s not a “workout”)
• How to pick up where you left off without guilt

Let this episode be your permission slip to take a break and keep going.

Ready to stop starting over and start training smarter?
Let’s talk. Book a call with me to find out how KatFit Strength can help you build strength, consistency, and confidence without the burnout.
