Week 10 - Clean Up the Edges

Why Week 10 Matters

You’ve made it to the final stretch of the FitSix Challenge—just three weeks remain. By now, you’ve built your foundation, established minimum standards, created rhythm, fueled with intention, simplified your meals, become aware of energy balance and emotions, recommitted to your “why,” reflected on your progress, and locked in your anchor habits.

Now it’s time to clean up the edges. These are the small friction points and daily struggles that keep progress harder than it needs to be. Clearing them creates more flow, less stress, and better long-term consistency.

The Focus This Week: Simplify the Friction

Progress at this stage doesn’t come from drastic overhauls—it comes from paying attention to the details. By smoothing out your routine, you’ll make it easier to stay consistent when life gets busy.

Nutrition: Clear the Bottlenecks

• Pick one sticking point: late-night snacking, skipping meals, or mindless grazing.
• Create a simple solution this week (prep snacks in advance, set a cut-off for screens, add a balanced breakfast).
• 📌 Pro Tip: Small changes compound. Don’t try to fix everything at once—just tackle one edge.

Training: Add Reset Rituals

• Consistency matters more than intensity at this stage.
• Add a “reset ritual” for the days you don’t feel like training:
  • 5-minute walk
  • A short mobility flow
  • Putting on your gym clothes anyway
• Reset rituals build the habit of showing up even when motivation is low.

Mindset: Micro Habits Matter

• A micro habit is a tiny action that makes everything easier.
  • Example: filling your water bottle at night, laying out gym clothes, journaling one line before bed.
• Micro habits lower the barrier to entry, which keeps you consistent when life gets messy.

Action Steps for Week 10

1. Identify one area of friction and create a simple fix.
2. Introduce one micro habit or reset ritual.
3. Check your stress and social support—who’s in your corner?
4. Keep anchor habits from Week 9 consistent.

The Bottom Line

Week 10 is about making your system easier, not harder. By cleaning up the edges, you reduce stress, save energy, and strengthen the foundation you’ve been building for 9 weeks. This is how you create habits that actually last.
