5 Days Left in the Month—Here’s How to Reset and Finish October Strong

You don’t need to “start fresh” next month—you need to finish this one with intention.

The next 5 days are an opportunity to:

  • Reset your habits

  • Recommit to your training schedule

  • Get 3–5 clean meals per day

  • Walk 8–10k steps daily

  • Prioritize sleep and hydration

Don’t wait for November 1st to feel back in control.

You’ve got 5 days to show yourself that you're not waiting—you’re leading.

FROM RYAN’S DESK

Anyone can work hard once. The real test is showing up again and again. Consistency compounds over time—it turns effort into mastery. Be the man who stays the course, even when progress feels slow. That’s how greatness is built.

Pro Tip: Track It or Wing It? Why Writing Things Down Still Works

Here’s the truth:

If you don’t track it, you’re probably not as consistent as you think.

You don’t need a full food log or journal to stay dialed in.

Try this simple strategy:

  • Write down your training days for the week

  • Log your protein at each meal (30g+ is the goal)

  • Mark a ✔️ for every day you hit 3 out of 4: training, protein, water, sleep

Small wins written down = momentum you can see.

Don’t guess. Track and adjust.

Question from Our Readers:

"I feel unmotivated—how do I get momentum back?"

– Aaron, 47, from Boise, ID

Motivation fades. That’s normal. What you need now is motion—not motivation.

Start with:

  • A 20-minute workout today—don’t overthink it

  • One high-protein meal

  • A short walk to clear your head

  • Go to bed 30 minutes earlier than usual

Don’t try to “feel ready.” Just do the thing. The feeling comes after.

Action creates clarity. Clarity creates momentum.

Fit Trivia: Which action star didn’t land his first major role until age 40—and later became one of the fittest in Hollywood?

Answer: Liam Neeson! Best known for Taken, Neeson didn’t become an action icon until midlife. With strict training, diet, and discipline, he became one of the most physically capable and believable action stars, after most actors were slowing down.
