I remember thinking…
I’m doing the workouts and I’m eating healthy so why do I still feel exhausted, moody, pudgy around my middle, and stuck in a body I barely recognize?
I wasn’t overdoing cardio.
I wasn’t starving myself.
But I was:
➡️ Not getting enough protein to support my body
➡️ Skipping out on fiber and proper fueling for my bodies current needs
➡️ Pushing through workouts without giving my body time to recover
➡️ Late night snacking because I hadn’t eaten enough protein
And in perimenopause these things matters more than ever.
My body didn’t need more discipline.
It needed better support.
Once I started focusing on:
✔️ Prioritizing protein
✔️ Increasing fiber
✔️ Training with intention + allowing for recovery
Everything started to shift:
✨ 15 lbs down
✨ 10 inches lost (3 from my waist)
✨ More energy, better sleep, and less moodiness
✨ Strength I never had before
✨ Feeling like myself again
If you feel like you’re doing the workouts and eating right it then it’s not about doing more.
It’s about tuning in and doing what actually works for your body in this season of life.
That’s exactly what I’m teaching in my free trainings this week:
