About Me

A woman with glasses and a warm smile poses for a selfie indoors. She is wearing a black turtleneck, light pink lipstick, and a white smartwatch on her wrist. Her hair is tied back loosely, and she is sitting on a light-colored couch against a mustard-yellow wall. A round wall lamp and a trailing houseplant are visible in the background, along with a staircase.

Hey there! I'm Char

Welcome to Form and Fuel, my corner of the internet where I share my personal journey in fitness and nutrition. This blog is all about trying my best, learning as I go, and building healthier habits along the way.

What You’ll Find Here

Form and Fuel is designed to help anyone who’s looking to improve their health and fitness through realistic, achievable goals. Whether you’re starting your own journey or fine-tuning your routine, you’ll find content that focuses on:

  • Steps: Building consistency and increasing daily movement.

  • Strength: Progressive weight training every other day to push myself and get stronger.

  • Fuel: Focusing on nourishment over restriction.

I'm not a fitness expert or a nutritionist. I'm just someone working hard to improve myself, and I’m here to share what I learn along the way.

Why You Might Like It Here

If you’re looking for:

  • Practical tips on balancing work, life, and fitness.

  • Motivation to keep pushing forward, even when progress feels slow.

  • Honest insights from someone who’s figuring it out just like you.

Then you’re in the right place! Form and Fuel is about celebrating small wins, making gradual improvements, and embracing the learning process.

My approach to all of this boils down to three big ideas:

Progress, not perfection. I remind myself of this one constantly. Small changes add up and make big impact. Whether it's lifting heavier, eating better, or just feeling good day-to-day, steady progress matters way more than perfection.

Step outside your comfort zone. Growth happens when you're willing to be a little uncomfortable. Trying something new, pushing yourself, or just sticking with it when it's hard. That's where the magic is.

Be kind to yourself. Listen to your body, take rest days when you need them, and celebrate every little win along the way.

My hope is that this blog feels like a welcoming space where you can find ideas, encouragement, and maybe a little extra motivation to reach your own goals.

I'm so happy you're here.
