Seems so long ago already.
EVEN though the early night is always rightly accompanied with a curry (it’s become a tradition and makes sense to me)
But…
some things (even in 2026) just don’t make sense.
Especially in this health, fitness and diet world.
In fact, here are 12 things that just don’t make sense:
1. Regardless of how many times people tell you ‘you look great’…you’re still not happy because your weight was once lower
2. 84% of us will carry on doing the same things as we were already doing despite setting a New Years Resolution
3. Tic-Tac’s are nearly pure sugar but can label themselves as sugar free because regulations say ‘less than half a gram of sugar per serving can be labelled as sugar free’ and 1 tic tac is classed as a serving
4. Meat alternatives are often marketed as being “healthier” yet are heavily processed and often full of cheap fillers and low quality protein
5. The most popular New Year’s Resolution is weight loss…yet only 7% will achieve their weight loss goal and keep it off
6. Scientists said it was IMPOSSIBLE to run a mile in 4 minutes. As soon as one person did it? 18 people did it in the year. Either humans evolved rapidly in 12 months or the power of the mind is pretty powerful, right?
7. 50% of what we think we know is actually wrong…we just don’t know it yet
8. If you keep drinking alcohol, you’ll never be hungover
9. Procrastinating on something you want because you’re afraid of failing or that it might take longer. When in fact? Not doing anything will mean you’re in the exact same place as you are now anyway…and it will take even longer to get where you want to be because you haven’t started.
10. People are happy to lose a few stone in a year but not happy losing ½ lb a week (do the maths)
11. Blood glucose responses to different foods are not a reliable or valid source of info for people without diabetes to inform what the best diet is…yet it’s being marketed for exactly that…
12. The biggest regret people have is: I wish I’d had the courage to live a life true to myself, not the life others expected of me << yet we, reading this now, will still procrastinate on the things that align with our values and give us the life we want (because we are scared / worried what others might think)
And I could add another 100 things on to this.
But then I’d hold you up even more and waste more time (even Mrs Fruci is getting bored of this and she’s not even reading it)
And that wouldn’t make sense either.
So if you’re already procrastinating one week into 2026…
Use this as a reminder to take action
No matter how small.
Need more accountability to do the things you know you need to do?
Reply with “kickstart” and I’ll get out the details for our January 28 Day Kickstart .
Specifically for women 40+, 50+, 60+ and 70+
Who pretty much know what to do already
But need the plan and accountability to it.
