Quick answer: This is my March 2026 recap. I walked all 31 days, lost 3 pounds, and put $1,800 toward my future. My Function Health bloodwork showed a biological age of 35 when I was 48. It was not a perfect month. Consistency still showed up in my results. This is my personal experience, not advice.
My bloodwork came back and my biological age is 35. I am 48 years old. As of March 2026, I weigh 250 pounds. And I had pizza three times this week.
Let that sink in for a second.
Welcome back to my monthly GlowGetter recap. This is where I tell you the whole truth. Not just the wins. The good stuff, the messy stuff, and the lessons in between.
I’m Jax, a certified life and wellness coach for women over 40. My highest weight was 431 pounds. I started with walking, one block at a time. Every month I look at weight, money, style, learning, relationships, and business, and I share it all with you.
Let’s get into it.
Here is the month in eight numbers. Some are wins. One is a lesson.
My Function Health results said my biological age is 35. Biological age is how old your body acts on the inside, not how old your birthday says you are.
Function Health runs very detailed bloodwork. That is where I got the number.
I am 48 years old. As of March 2026, I weigh 250 pounds. And my body is acting like a 35-year-old.
I cried when I saw that number. Not because it was perfect. Because it was proof. Every walk, every good choice, every morning I showed up, it is all adding up. Even when the scale does not show it.
Always talk to your doctor first. This is one result from one test, and it is my story only. Please talk to your own doctor about what your labs mean for you.
Because dinner and weekends got loose. I lost 3 pounds in March, not the 8 I was going for.
Here is what went right:
Here is where it slipped: pizza, wings, cookies, chocolate. Let’s keep it real. Those happened, and they are why I got 3 pounds instead of 8.
Honest moment: I had pizza three times in March and cookies more times than I want to count. And my biological age still came back at 35. That is not permission to eat whatever you want. It is a sign that consistency in the areas you CAN control still moves the needle.
I made it a non-negotiable. I walked all 31 days, at least 30 minutes each time. Not one day missed.
I also started the Tracy Anderson Method this month, and I am already feeling the difference. Spring is warming up in Cleveland. Getting back outside is doing something for my soul.
If walking feels like too much, shrink it. That is how I started: one block at a time. Want ideas? Read how many steps a day to lose weight.
I put $1,800 toward my future in March. It started with one small habit: a daily money diary.
Every day I logged every dollar I spent in the Notes app on my phone. I spent way less on impulse buys from Amazon and Target. Awareness did the work.
Here is where the money went:
That is $1,800 in one month, while working a full-time corporate finance job and running two businesses. It just takes a plan.
Try this: Pick one day this week and write down every dollar you spend. Just one day. Notice what surprises you. If you want more, read how to lower your monthly debt payments and free up cash flow.
I’m a coach, not a financial advisor. This is education, not personal advice.
I kept choosing to be seen. For years I dressed to disappear: big clothes, dark colors, nothing that drew attention. I was hiding.
In March, I wore my hair straight and down instead of in a ponytail. I wore makeup to work more often. I got my nails done.
My sweet friend Jessica gave me a whole bag of beautiful clothes, for free. They fit this body right now and make me feel like me. And I donated a full garbage bag of clothes that were too big. Too big! I can’t believe I get to say that.
Those clothes belong to an older chapter. A new one is being written.
I read 5 books, finished 5 courses, and earned a certification. March might have been my biggest learning month yet.
I treat learning like an appointment I can’t cancel. Podcasts in the car. Audiobooks on my walks. Reading before bed instead of scrolling. Little pockets of growth add up.
Both grew, and the relationships mattered most. When you grow, the people around you either grow with you or start to feel different. So some of the best work is on the connections closest to you.
In March I invested in two friendships I know will last. Real women. Quality friendships. The kind where you pour into each other equally.
And my son. We had some of the most honest conversations we have ever had. I thought we were as close as a mom and son could be. I was wrong. There was more room, and we found it.
On the business side, my reels and posts grew and engagement picked up. Women are telling me this content hits right where they needed it. I launched my 8-Week Awakening series on the podcast and the blog. You can start with The Midlife Awakening Series. I also hired my website designer, and a rebrand of jaxstys.com is coming.
Consistency over perfection. Every single time.
March was not perfect. My diet slipped on weekends. I lost 3 pounds instead of 8. Some mornings I was tired and overwhelmed and questioned everything.
And then my bloodwork came back. Biological age: 35.
The woman who walks even when she does not want to. Who puts money away even when it feels small. Who shows up imperfectly on the hard days. That woman is 35 on the inside.
If you need small, doable ideas, start with these small healthy habits for women over 40.
Biological age is how old your body acts on the inside compared with your birthday age. I got my number from Function Health bloodwork, and mine came back at 35 when I was 48. That is my personal result only. Always talk to your doctor first about what your labs mean for you.
I had pizza three times in March and my biological age still came back at 35. That is one result from one test, not a promise for anyone else. I focus on what I can control, like walking and meal prep, and I talk to my doctor about my labs.
It is a simple habit where you write down every dollar you spend each day. I used the Notes app on my phone in March. It made me more aware of my spending, and I bought fewer impulse items from Amazon and Target.
I made it a non-negotiable and walked at least 30 minutes every day in March, all 31 days. I started years ago with one block at a time, so I know small steps work. If 30 minutes feels like too much, start with a block.
It is my honest monthly check-in on weight, money, style, learning, relationships, and business. I share the wins and the slips so you can see what real progress looks like. It is my story, not a plan for you to copy.
You don’t have to be perfect.
You don’t have to be fast.
You just have to start, and then keep going.
April goals are dropping tomorrow. And friend, we are going harder.
