Week 3 Fat Loss Phase Update 👏🏼

Another progressive week — despite not being fully compliant with every meal Saturday & Sunday.

But that’s the thing; I don’t let a couple meals derail me. I refocus and keep moving.

I also love partaking in my kids’ birthdays. They’re incredibly meaningful to me, especially having been a mom since I was 19. Could I approach them differently during a fat loss phase? Sure. But I don’t want to. To each their own — our priorities don’t have to look the same.

This week:
🔥 Steps were HIGH.
🔥 Strength continued progressing — hip thrusts & leg press are now 300+ lbs. One workout fully fueled by some big emotions. 🤷🏻‍♀️ if you see me crying in the gym just let me be. Grief waves are real.
🔥 Nutrition was solid outside of what I mentioned above.

And progress is still happening.

So I’m not slashing calories because I had a couple imperfect days. I’m not trying to “make up” for the weekend.

Nutrition is staying exactly where it is.
Strength training stays the same.
I’m simply adding 4 × 20-minute incline walks this week and continuing to collect data.

Week 4 commenced on Tuesday and I already peeked a new low. 💁🏻‍♀️

Happy 12th Birthday, Mia! 🥳🥳

Our competitive spirit in sports, with the biggest heart for her people.

A lover of big hugs, snuggles, and being close to the ones she loves. 🥰

We love you, lady! So proud of the girl you are becoming.

I almost didn’t post this morning walk pep talk because holy eye bags. 😅🤭

I’ve tried it all, and sometimes they’re just POPPIN’. 💁🏻‍♀️

But the message was too good to not post just because I didn’t love how I looked.

Which is actually pretty fitting because…

Can y’all stop giving yourself an exit?

We say we want to change something.
Do something differently.
Build a new habit.

But then we say, “I’m going to try.”

I’m going to try to hit my steps.
I’m going to try to prep my food.
I’m going to try to get my workouts in.

And “try” gives you an exit.

Because the minute life gets busy, you didn’t prepare well, or you simply don’t feel like doing it…

“Well, I tried.”

Nah.

Stop giving yourself the out before you even start.

Replace “I’m going to try” with “I’m going to.”

Then figure out what needs to happen to follow through.

You don’t build confidence by constantly telling yourself what you intend to do.

You build it by becoming someone who does what she said she was going to do—even when the conditions aren’t perfect.

This is a long update. 😅 Week 1 & 2 from scale weight, to nutrition, to steps, to strength training, to supplements, to HRT, to am I taking peptides? 😅🤭 Here we go…

A lot happened before I decided to enter a fat loss phase — and I think that part needs to be shared before I share how this phase is actually going.

Before my dad got sick, I was in a really good rhythm.

10,000+ steps a day.
8+ hours of sleep.
Strength training 4 days a week.
Tracking my nutrition around maintenance.
Sitting around 153 pounds.

Then my dad got sick.

What followed was a three-week hospital roller coaster.

My steps took a hit.
Strength training became very sporadic.
Sleep was rough.

Nutrition looked like cafeteria salad bars, cold meat sandwiches, fruit, breakfast sandwiches and Chick-fil-A.

And I wouldn’t change a thing about where my priorities were during that time.

Then my dad passed away.

And grief added another layer.

I fell out of alignment with a lot of the things that normally make me feel like me.

So I started putting them back — slowly.

No judgment. No attempt to immediately “fix” anything.

I started by simply increasing my steps.
Then, judgement free, I tracked my food.
Then I added my macro targets.
Then strength training.

The last two came back around the same time, while I was also working on getting my sleep back into a better place.

And I think this part matters:
I didn’t jump straight into a fat loss phase.

I got the basics back underneath me first.

I rebuilt some consistency.
I got back into the routines that make me feel grounded.
I gave myself time to see what I was actually capable of doing consistently in this season.

Then I decided I was ready to pursue fat loss.

Because for me, when life feels hard, having structure around my health doesn’t add to the chaos — it helps ground me.

This fat loss phase isn’t about “fixing” those weeks.

Those weeks didn’t need fixing.

It’s about recognizing that I’m ready for a goal again.

So now that you know what happened before the fat loss phase…

I’ll tell you how my fat loss phase is actually going tomorrow..

There’s something different about support from a woman who isn’t standing on the sidelines giving advice—she’s in her own s**t too. Oh Hey, you found me. 💁🏻‍♀️

She understands that life gets heavy. Motherhood, work, relationships, grief, stress, body changes… while somehow trying to take care of yourself in the middle of it.

But support isn’t always telling you what you want to hear.

Sometimes it’s saying, “Yes, you’ve made changes. But these are the blind spots that are still keeping you stuck.”

Because making some changes doesn’t automatically mean you’re making the changes your goal requires.

A good coach can hold space for the hard and call you forward when you’re using your progress as permission to stay comfortable.

That’s a big part of what coaching means to me.

I’ll remind you that you’ve got this—but I’ll also point out the s**t you can’t see for yourself.

Because the goal isn’t just to feel like you’re doing better.

It’s to actually keep moving forward.

If that’s the kind of woman you want in your corner, that’s exactly how I coach. 🫶🏻

Good-bye, summer 2026.

You were hard.
You were heavy.
And somewhere in the middle of all that hard, we changed.

We learned that life is full of hard moments. Filled with anger, guilt, regret. Emotions we can feel, but we can’t stay rooted there. We continue to learn how to feel joy & sadness all at the same time.

We slowed down.
We held on a little tighter.
We laughed when we could.
We showed up for each other.

And we learned to appreciate the small moments—the ordinary days, the car rides, the ball games, the late nights, the people sitting beside us—because somehow, those are the moments that become the memories we hold onto the longest.

This summer wasn’t what we expected.

But it reminded us just how precious an ordinary day really is.

Good-bye, summer 2026.
You changed us. 🫶🏻

I learned real quick that I’m a volume eater.

I don’t just want something that fits my macros — I want to eat a MEAL. 😅 Which is also why I have say, “I have meals & mini meals.”

More veggies. More fiber. More actual chewing. More food volume.

For me, that means more sustainable hunger cues, fewer cravings later in the day, and a whole lot less of feeling like I’m constantly looking for my next snack.

Protein balls, processed snacks, clear protein powders… they can absolutely have a place. But I learned pretty quickly that trying to fill up on those just doesn’t do it for me or many of my clients.

Which brings me to one of my favorite Mexican restaurant hacks:

Vegetarian fajitas + add chicken.

You get a massive plate of veggies AND then add chicken for a protein source. More food volume, more fiber, more satisfaction — without needing to leave your meal feeling like you could eat again an hour later.

Sometimes supporting your goals isn’t about figuring out how to eat less.

It’s learning how to build your meals so you can eat more of the foods that actually keep you full.

Friday Night Football has started.
&& you would have had so much fun hooting and hollering for “your” Tate last night.

His first sack came… then another, and another.
Then some damn good catches, too.
I can still hear your yell & know that fist woulda went up every single time.

What I would give to see your face & hear your voice as he plays varsity this year.

The sting of you being gone is learning how to carry these happy moments without absolutely losing it knowing you aren’t here to see them.

I know exactly how proud you’d be.
I can picture it so clearly.

I just wish I didn’t have to picture it.

Signed,
the mom who will be randomly crying all year because every “first” without you still feels like a punch to the gut.
