September is here, which means it’s time for another Savagely Scaled goal check-in! This month, Blake and Joyce are setting goals that go beyond just lifting heavier or chasing PRs. They’re working on the little things that can make a BIG difference.

For Blake, September is all about getting more steps, getting outside, and managing anxiety — with a little help from her crazy dog! 🐕😂 Instead of simply saying “I need to walk more,” she’s challenging herself to make movement more fun by finding an activity she actually enjoys. And because apparently walking the dog isn’t already an adventure, she’s also working on helping both herself AND her four-legged chaos machine stay a little calmer.

Joyce is taking a different approach this month: learning to recognize her wins. Sometimes we accomplish way more than we give ourselves credit for, but we’re so focused on what we didn’t do that we completely overlook what we DID accomplish. Joyce is working on being less critical of herself, celebrating the progress, and giving herself some well-deserved high fives! 🙌

And then there’s the September training goal: EMOMs!

Joyce is bringing more EMOMs into her month to specifically attack her weaknesses, build consistency, and become more comfortable with movements that don’t always come naturally. Because sometimes the best way to improve something is to stop avoiding it and put in the work — one minute at a time.

This episode is a reminder that goals don't always have to be about a bigger lift, a faster time, or a new PR. Sometimes the biggest wins are:

🐾 Taking more steps
🧠 Working on your anxiety
❤️ Giving yourself some grace
🙌 Recognizing the wins you normally overlook
🏋️‍♀️ Working on your weaknesses
⏱️ Showing up for another EMOM
😂 Finding ways to make fitness fun

Blake and Joyce are getting real about what they want to improve, where they tend to be too hard on themselves, and how they’re going to keep each other accountable throughout September.

So grab your coffee, lace up your shoes, and get ready to set some goals, celebrate some wins, and maybe give yourself a damn high five.

Because progress doesn't always look like a PR.

Sometimes… progress looks like taking the dog for a walk without losing your mind. 😂
