How are you? How was the weekend? Ours was a good one. The kids had lots of friend time, P had a basketball game, I had an NCL meeting and taught a barre class.<\/p>\n<p>For today\u2019s post, I\u2019m sharing a roundup of my top blog posts and pages from the past year. It\u2019s always fun to go through analytics and see which posts perform well, and almost all of these are posts I created to try to give a ton of value, like a recipe, a how-to, full review, etc. I\u2019m also interested to see how this changes in 2026 since everything in the blog world has changed with AI search. SEO doesn\u2019t quite work like it used to, so I\u2019ll just be here doing my thing and always appreciate any feedback or things you\u2019d like to see here!<\/p>\n<p>Here\u2019s the full roundup!<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center\">Top posts and pages of 2025<\/h2>\n<h3>1<strong>. <a href=\"https:\/\/fitnessista.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener follow noreferrer\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\">The blog homepage<\/a><\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>This one means the most to me because it means that a majority of readers are my internet besties who click directly to the blog without finding it through Google.
