𝑷𝑶𝑽: You’re in your late 40’s trying to maintain your health and weight like you did when you were 25.

You are was checking off all the boxes:

✅Eating clean
✅Intense cardio every single day
✅Trying a new plan every couple of weeks

But nothing’s changing and now you’re tired and at your breaking point. You ask yourself “Why in the world does it have to be so hard to get in shape now…”


𝐌𝐚𝐲𝐛𝐞, 𝐣𝐮𝐬𝐭 𝐦𝐚𝐲𝐛𝐞 𝐢𝐭’𝐬 𝐭𝐢𝐦𝐞 𝐭𝐨 𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐞 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐡𝐚𝐛𝐢𝐭𝐬 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐝𝐬𝐞𝐭.

You’re almost 50, but still trying to do all the things that worked when you were in your 20’s. You are literally STUCK – stuck in the old patterns instead of finding a new approach for this new season of your life.

What if I told you that those old patterns are causing you to:

😞Lose muscle
😞Hold Fat
😞Burnout – mentally and physically

If you were my client, here’s how I what I would teach you to do so you can drop 15-25lbs in 13 weeks⬇️

💡What works to boost your metabolism at this age while losing fat in a sustainable way
☀️How to add Whole Foods into your diet that everyone in the family could eat
💪🏽How you can strength train at home 3x week to build fat-burning muscle

Let me show you how you can reach your goals through balance not deprivation while still enjoying life. Drop a 💪🏽below and I’ll send you a message about how you can get started.

POV: I’m focusing on the habits and lifestyle that will help me be the strongest and best version of myself.

It’s a privilege to age..I’m not going to take it for granted.

𝑴𝒖𝒔𝒄𝒍𝒆 𝒍𝒐𝒔𝒔 𝒊𝒔 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒃𝒊𝒈𝒈𝒆𝒔𝒕 𝒓𝒆𝒂𝒔𝒐𝒏 𝒇𝒐𝒓 𝒚𝒐𝒖𝒓 𝒊𝒏𝒂𝒃𝒊𝒍𝒊𝒕𝒚 𝒕𝒐 𝒍𝒐𝒔𝒆 𝒘𝒆𝒊𝒈𝒉𝒕 𝒂𝒔 𝒂 𝒘𝒐𝒎𝒂𝒏 𝒐𝒗𝒆𝒓 𝟒𝟎.

It’s why what you did in your 20 & 30’s to lose weight no longer works. At the age of 30 you begin to lose muscle and when you begin to lose hormones due to perimenopause and menopause, you lose muscle at an even faster pace if you’re not actively working to build and maintain it.

Did you know that with the right strategy it’s possible to feel better at this age than you did in your 20’s? In your 20’s you treated your body any old way and it still did what you wanted it to do. These days a strategy is required. Fortunately for you that strategy will make you stronger, increase your energy and your confidence.

What is the magical strategy, I speak of?

It’s a lifestyle change that works to counteract the effects of hormonal changes that lead to weight gain and a slower metabolism.

You have to start eating more. I’m sure you’re probably saying you eat too much now which is why you want to lose weight, but hear me out. If you’re going on strict diets (1200 cal or less, keto, no carbs) & giving your body less food & nutrients it is causing your metabolism to downshift and use muscle to survive.
You have to eat more of the right foods i.e. protein – most women only eat around 60 g of protein a day which is why they’re hungry and snacking all the time and end up overeating. Protein is key in fat loss and building/maintaining muscle. You should be eating a minimum of 100 g a protein each day (notice I said minimum) it will vary for every woman
You have to pick up the weights. A great weightlifting routine can be done at home 3x week for 30 minutes. Don’t overcomplicate it

If you want to learn how to strengthen your metabolism, fuel your body and lose fat comment “me” so we can talk about a program that will help you meet your goals.

P.S I started my day with 40g of protein - let me show you how

𝐄𝐱𝐞𝐫𝐜𝐢𝐬𝐞 𝐚𝐥𝐨𝐧𝐞 𝐰𝐨𝐧'𝐭 𝐡𝐞𝐥𝐩 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐥𝐨𝐬𝐞 𝐰𝐞𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭 𝐰𝐡𝐞𝐧 𝐲𝐨𝐮'𝐫𝐞 𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐫 𝟒𝟎....

Here's the deal, you can't outwork a bad diet. Trust me I've tried.

You know what I mean - restrict till I'm starving then binge on everything in sight. Or only eating "clean foods" Oh and then there were the cleanses like the cabbage soup diet and 3 day reset.

Let me know if you've tried at least one of these.

Here's what works for women over 40⬇️

➡️Eating a high protein diet - at least 1g of protein per goal bodyweight
💡No longer focusing on the amount of calories you burn but on the intensity of your workouts
💪🏽Focus on structured strength training workouts so you can build muscle
🚶🏾‍♀️Keep your daily activity high by consistently hitting your step goal
🧘🏽‍♀️Learn to relax
💤Prioritized sleep and rest days

It is possible to lose fat and change your body without a ton of restrictions, long hours in the gym and hours of frustration.

If you’re tired of trying everything and nothing is working, give me a 👋🏽.

Perfect is the enemy of good. Consistency > Perfection

I don’t know about you but when there’s a lot of everything and it’s out of place I get confused.

Are you confused with all the stuff you’re hearing about how to lose weight over 40 or in menopause?

Is the clutter of it all keeping you stuck in one place. A place where you’re not making any progress?

There is so much information out here for women over 40 because that’s the new catchphrase 🙄 And sometimes people make it complicated so they can sound smart. 😉

I’m just a simple girlie ahem mid-life woman who’s struggled with her weight like you. So I’m going to keep it simple.

➡️Start with the basics because if you’re not doing those, you can’t blame it on your hormones.

The “Basics”⬇️

Steps - Aim for 7500-10,000 each day
Strength Training- At least 3x week
Sleep - 7-8hrs every night
Nutrition- At least 30g of protein at each meal
Hydrate - At least 80 oz of water daily
Rest/Recovery - Don’t workout everyday and manage your stress

It may seem like a lot but it’s part of a simple strategy for losing weight and aging well. If you’ll make time to do the above, you’ll be amazed at how simple it is to change your body.

I’ve laid the steps out for you but if you need accountability and help, I would love to chat with you. Send me a message and I’ll reach out to you.

My client, Tisha resides in the non-negotiable when it comes to living a healthy lifestyle.

We were chatting a few days ago and she mentioned that last year was the first time ever that she didn’t gain weight during the holidays so she wasn’t worried about it happening this year either.

How did should do this?…
✅ She’s made it a lifestyle
✅She commits to 3 workouts a week ✅She moves her body consistently
✅She eats food that nourishes her body but she doesn’t deprive herself of
✅She gets 7-8 hrs of sleep

⭐️She realizes there’s always going to be something to navigate. BUT…because of habits shes able to easily to continue to achieve the results she desires.

Tisha realizes that long term solutions keep her consistent.

What’s ONE healthy habit you can make a non-negotiable?

𝐃𝐢𝐬𝐜𝐢𝐩𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐞 > 𝐌𝐨𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧

You will want to quit. It’s a normal reaction to something that is hard or outside of your comfort zone.

Once you get comfortable with that mindset, you’re halfway there.

There will be days when you you’ll want to stay up late, sleep in, hang out and not want to SHOW UP for yourself.

But do it anyway.

Do it when you don’t want to.

Do it when you have every reason NOT.

Why? That’s the only reason you’re going to reach your goal.

It’s not just you - many women in perimenopause and menopause are experiencing the same. Let’s take a deep dive into why⬇️

Here are 4 things you’re doing that’s keeping you from losing weight.

𝐍𝐨𝐭 𝐦𝐨𝐯𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐞𝐧𝐨𝐮𝐠𝐡 𝐭𝐡𝐫𝐨𝐮𝐠𝐡𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐝𝐚𝐲. Getting your workout done is awesome but it doesn’t end there. Increase your daily activity by doing small and simple things like taking the steps instead of the elevator, going for a walk or dancing around your kitchen, those small things add up to make a big difference.

𝐘𝐨𝐮’𝐫𝐞 𝐡𝐞𝐚𝐯𝐲 𝐨𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐢𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧. You think that cutting out all your favorite foods (especially carbs) is the key but you actually end up craving more and overeating. You don't have to eliminate any foods, instead find ways to incorporate a variety of food into your diet while maintaining a moderate calorie deficit.

𝐘𝐨𝐮 𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐢𝐦𝐢𝐳𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐢𝐦𝐩𝐨𝐫𝐭𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞 𝐨𝐟 𝐬𝐥𝐞𝐞𝐩. Sleep allows your body to repair and restore itself. When that doesn’t happen you lack energy, focus and your hunger increases.

𝐘𝐨𝐮 𝐝𝐨𝐧’𝐭 𝐡𝐚𝐯𝐞 𝐚 𝐩𝐥𝐚𝐧. You’re doing random workouts from influencers half your age instead of investing in a strength training program designed for your body.

If you need a weight loss strategy and help getting rid of the belly fat, send me a private message.

If you want to achieve anything in life, including weight loss...

Sometimes it's going to be tough.

The motivation got up and left.

The scale just won't move.

You feel like giving up.

Nothing seems to work.

And guess what?

It's ok..as long as you remember this one thing.

It's not about the end goal.

It's about the person you become during the process of achieving the goal.

If you don't give up...

You'll be Healthier...Stronger....Fitter

Your confidence will be at an all time high.

You'll be an inspiration to others or even better an inspiration to yourself.

Every time you take action, you're winning....

Getting older is tough with a capital “T”. I’m here to help you because I’m navigating these midlife waters just like you.

Sidebar - your metabolism doesn’t really slow down till around age 60. Prior to that it’s your habits that are driving metabolic changes.

Here’s a few tips if you’ve been feeling like your metabolism is stuck.

1️⃣ Start tracking your protein. Aim for at least 100 grams per day. You can use an app like LoseIt or My Fitness Pal
2️⃣ Figure out how many steps you’re getting each day. Aim for 7500-10,000 consistently
3️⃣ Build some muscle. Pick up the weights and start strength training
4️⃣ Sleep 7-8 hours each night and manage your stress

Need guidance and accountability? I’ll be releasing a 21 Day Program soon to jumpstart your fitness. Drop a “Me” in the comments to be added to the waitlist.

It was a normal Monday morning and I was attempting to livestream my workout class like I do everyday Monday, Wednesday and Friday morning.

Only this time it wasn’t working, which was strange because it was working the previous Friday. AND my clients were waiting for me to start class.

You’ve tried everything that used to work and for some reason nothing is working anymore…

❌Not Weight Watchers
❌Not Fasting
❌Not Keto
❌Not pills, not teas and not shots

𝑫𝒐𝒏’𝒕 𝒈𝒊𝒗𝒆 𝒖𝒑, 𝑷𝑰𝑽𝑶𝑻 Life is all about the PIVOT…

✅Instead of intense cardio 6x week, focus on strength training 3-4x week

✅Instead of eating like a bird, focus on nourishing your body with nutrient dense foods

✅Instead of drinking coffee and soda all day, hydrate yourself with water

✅Instead sitting all day, move throughout your day

Guilt keeps you stuck in a cycle if starting and stopping but never meeting your goals

There was a time in my life when I DID feel guilty about it and would then hit the gym the day after to try to "burn" the extra calories I ate

Now I take a more balanced approach to life and fitness

I don’t believe in restricting and I enjoy what I want to eat although I am mindful of how much and how often I eat.

I don't eat candy often because it doesn't make me feel good - it makes me sluggish and a bit hungover. NOT because I'm worried that I’ll gain weight. One day of eating a few pieces of candy or treats isn't going to set you back with your goals. So don’t pay to the number of burpees you need to do in order to burn off tonight’s candy haul 😂😂

Instead focus on being mindful, present and aware of how you feel during and afterwards.

Willpower AKA self-control can work to keep you from overeating, lack of exercise and gaining weight BUT there is only so much that willpower can do.

What do I mean by that?

Well the same way that motivation doesn’t stick around forever neither does willpower. Lacking willpower doesn’t make you weak, it makes you human. Especially as a woman over 40 who is likely experiencing a multitude of situations that may be stealing your energy:

Stress
Lack of Sleep
Hot Flashes
Family Issues
Brain Fog
Lack of energy

With all that going on, anyone would find it difficult to focus on their physical health without a little help.

I hear this a lot when teaching new clients about tracking their nutrition.

Here’s the thing though, it’s not more food than you’re used to eating…

(do you know how many calories there is in restaurant food) !!!???

🥙It’s that you’re eating more nutrient dense foods and these foods are more satisfying and keep you fuller longer.

✅You’re also eating more consistently so instead of little mini meals that cause you to be constantly hungry and snacking.

🍤And you’re eating more protein - probably more than you ever have before in life. Protein keeps you fuller longer and reduces your cravings.

All of this is why you don’t have to be hungry when you’re following a calorie deficit.

Showing women how they can eat more and still lose weight is the best feeling. Not just for me but my clients also - they’re no longer hungry all the time and they develop a trust and confidence in themselves when it comes to their relationship with food.

Do you think it’s possible to eat more and weigh less?

"I want to lose 20lbs before my 50th birthday"

Or

"I want to lose at least 1lb every week"

There's nothing wrong with these goals. - heck I've said them before.

Well there is 𝑶𝑵𝑬 thing.....

You don't have absolute control over your weight loss.

How many times have you done all the right things, you're feeling good and you hop on the scale only to find out your weight is 2-3lbs up?

So you get discouraged and then you quit. You feel like why bother 😞 it's never going to happen.

You can't control the number (which is likely water weight) but you can control how consistent you are. Consistency is the secret sauce - the absolute game-changer. I will guarantee that if you commit to being consistent at least 80% of the time, you'll see results.

There are 7 days in a week, so that's a little over 5 days a week you need to really dial in on your good habits..

Habits like:
🚶🏾‍♀️Daily exercise/movement
🥗🥙Staying on track with your nutrition goals
💦Staying hydrated

❌It’s not eating 6 meals a day to increase your metabolism
❌It’s not eating one meal a day or fasting for 36 hours
❌It’s not fast…(I’ve got to keep it real with you)

All of those things will only make you frustrated and ready to give up after day 1

✅An understanding of nutrition so you can enjoy food and still lose weight
✅No longer depriving yourself

✅Moving your body on a daily basis
✅Building muscle so your body burns fat easier


💡If you focus on the habits and the process a transformation will take place.. A transformation that takes place not just on the outside like⬇️

👙smaller size clothes
👗finally getting rid of the belly
⚖️ smaller number on the scale
⚡️more energy

You will also transform on the inside

-positive mindset

💡Learn simple nutrition practices that will allow you to control your blood sugar so your body can release fat
💡Create long-lasting habits that will transform you inside and out

𝐆𝐫𝐚𝐜𝐞 - You went off track but you’re able to forgive yourself and move on because nobody’s perfect. Sometimes you eat more than you planned to but it’s ok because one meal isn’t why you’re not losing weight. Some days you don’t feel like working out so you give your body a rest day.

I believe it’s important to show ourselves grace so we don’t fall into the trap of all or nothing mindset that keeps us stuck.

𝐄𝐱𝐜𝐮𝐬𝐞𝐬 - These start out as giving yourself grace but the line is crossed when it’s an everyday occurrence.

This is when you’re not doing the things that you’ve committed to for the change you say you want. You don’t have time to workout but you spend hours scrolling on TikTok or catching up on your favorite show on Netflix.

This is also when you find yourself ⬆️ 10lbs because you frequently said to yourself “I”ll just do it this one time or I deserve this”

𝑪𝒉𝒂𝒏𝒈𝒆 - If you truly want change, you have to focus less on the excuses and more on being true and accountable to yourself.

If I had a dollar for every-time I’ve heard that…😉

The same way your age has changed so has your body. Now, it would stand to reason that since your body has changed then the ways you used to lose weight 20+ years ago need to change as well.

First let’s talk about some the reasons why you’re gaining weight

❗️Stress - everyone has stress but you’re letting it manage you instead of you managing it. One of the many things stress does is cause inflammation in the body and inflammation results in weight gain including belly fat and other underlying conditions
❗️Starving yourself in the name of getting skinny. In order to lose weight you need to be in a calorie deficit but you’ve always associated weight loss with eating as little as possible and that puts more stress on your body and causes you to overeat at night
❗️Skipping whole food groups. You’re convinced carbs are making you fat when in reality your body needs carbs for energy and it’s impossible to live without them

The only way to achieve and maintain successful weight loss at this stage in life is to create a strategy that’s customized for the new changes and challenges you’re now experiencing.

If you’re ready to invest in yourself and put in the work for real and sustainable results, I can help.

I know that most women don’t actually like to exercise. I think a big reason for this is because it’s always associated with weight loss which many people find hard.

Today I want to challenge you to look outside the box and discover how exercising can have a positive effect on your life.

𝑴𝒐𝒐𝒅 𝑩𝒐𝒐𝒔𝒕: Say goodbye to that bad mood - exercise releases those feel-good endorphins that brighten your day and reduce stress. 🌞

𝑰𝒏𝒄𝒓𝒆𝒂𝒔𝒆𝒔 𝑴𝒆𝒏𝒕𝒂𝒍 𝑪𝒍𝒂𝒓𝒊𝒕𝒚: Many women our age deal with brain fog. Physical activity boosts cognitive function and enhances focus, productivity and endurance.

𝑯𝒆𝒂𝒓𝒕 𝑯𝒆𝒂𝒍𝒕𝒉: Heart disease kills more women than all forms of cancer. Reduce your risk by getting that heart pumping with cardio exercises and supporting a healthy heart and circulatory system.

𝑩𝒐𝒐𝒔𝒕𝒔 𝑬𝒏𝒆𝒓𝒈𝒚 𝑳𝒆𝒗𝒆𝒍𝒔: I hear a lot of you saying you don’t have energy. You'll be amazed at how regular workouts elevate your energy levels throughout the day.

Exercise is one of the best things you can do for your body and your health especially during the aging process.

Most people think that because I’m a fitness coach, I always want to work out, I never want cookies and fitness is my life. 😂😂. Well I’m here to tell you that I’m human just like you and this isn’t always true.

BUT…because this is a lifestyle and because I want to do what’s best for my health there are days when I do things even when I don’t feel like it.

As a woman over 40 – these items are non-negotiables if you want to live well, feel better and manage your weight.

✅I eat to support my metabolism - I don’t do crazy crash diets, pills, teas, pills, potions or fast. I do focus on eating the right amount of calories to support my daily activities.
✅Follow a strategic exercise routine – I lift weights 3x week, move daily and do the right kind of cardio in the right amount. Lifting weights are important as you age because you’re loosing muscle mass and lifting helps maintain and replace it. Moving burns calories and increasing your calories. Cardio is great for heart health, but that shouldn’t be all you do as exercise.
✅Prioritize sleep – Most people don’t realize that sleep deprivation has an effect on your ability to lose weight and control your hunger.
✅Manage my stress – I have learned to just say no to somethings. Taking of your superwoman cape will reward you 10-fold both physically and mentally
✅Listen to my body – Some days my body tells me to sleep in rather than get up and do the workout I had planned to do. Rest and recovery are a large part of taking care of yourself as you age and will always payoff.

Out of the 5 listed, which ones do you need to focus on more? Comment below ⬇️

If you're a woman over 40, one thing for sure are happening.

Your cortisol is increasing. 😱

Increased cortisol causes you to store belly fat which in turn produces more inflammation and stress. It’s a vicious cycle.

Signs your cortisol is high⬇️

-Fatigue - you feel tired and run down
-Stiffness - your muscles and joints ache
-Weight gain - mostly in midsection
-Anxiety- always feeling like you’re on high alert
-Disrupted sleep - trouble falling and staying asleep

So what are some things you can do to reduce cortisol and inflammation?

1. Take a good quality magnesium supplement every night before bed
2. Go for a quick 15 minute walk in the morning
3. Start taking an adaptogen
4. Drink your morning coffee with a meal
5. Stop screen an hour before bed

Try 1 or more of the above for at least 2 weeks and you will begin to experience more energy and drop a few pounds.

The results you’re seeing in your life are from the consistent actions and choices you’re making
