Let’s take the pressure off 👇

If you want to build a stronger body to manage your menopause symptoms naturally, tracking your daily progress can actually cause unnecessary stress and confusion…

Especially this time of year when you might be busier than usual!

Instead, consider tracking your progress / checking in with yourself WEEKLY.

Ask yourself questions like:

How do I feel this week?
What’s the trend in my results?
What small wins did I accomplish this week that I might have overlooked?

This way, you get a clearer idea of your actual progress.

You can still keep a record of each day, but view your progress from a wider window.

I know it seems like tracking daily will get you to where you want to be faster…

But if it’s causing you stress, it may actually slow you down.

🔥Let’s talk about keeping the promises you make to yourself…

If you’re [call out your avatar and their #1 goal - ex. “working on building strength” or “trying to stay consistent with your nutrition”], the key isn’t in finding the perfect plan…

It’s showing up and doing it.

That might mean:

✅ Blocking off time on your calendar so no one can book you for a call when you’ve planned to do a workout
✅ Sticking to your meal plan when you’d rather go out to eat
✅ Going to sleep by 10 instead of scrolling because you promised yourself you’d stick to a certain bedtime

Not only will you get closer to your goals…

But you’ll start to feel more confident and build more trust with yourself.

How you START and END your day determines your quality of life 👇

One of the most important pieces of [goal - ex. “balancing your hormones” “getting the body you want in your 50s” “healing PCOS”] is simply finding ways to feel good more of the time.

Think about it…

Isn’t it easier to [action they need to take - ex. “get to the gym” “spend the day meal prepping” “get your steps in”] when you already feel good?

One of the best ways to do that is to start and end your day with intention.

Instead of letting the day decide how it’s going to go…

YOU can decide how it’s going to go.

At the end of the day, you can reflect and keep improving!

All it takes is 5 minutes.

I've been a personal trainer and nutrition coach for 25 years, but my clients taught me THIS 👇

One of the biggest lessons? There’s no single ‘right’ way to make progress.

For years, I believed there was a perfect plan for everyone. But each client has shown me something different: everyone’s lifestyle, body, and needs are unique.

What works perfectly for one person might look totally different for another—and that’s exactly how it should be.

If you’ve felt frustrated by “one-size-fits-all” plans, here are a few takeaways my clients have taught me that might help:

✅ Adapt your approach: Find what feels sustainable and fits your daily life.
✅ Listen to your body: It knows best. Small changes that feel good are more powerful than big changes that don’t.
✅ Give yourself grace: Progress isn’t always a straight line, and that’s normal.

Health isn’t one-size-fits-all — it’s personal, and that’s what makes it sustainable!

So, thank you to my amazing clients who continue to teach me new things every day!

Consistency is so important when it comes to improving your health.

When I decided to change my eating strategy and start focusing on weight training again, I was a bit overwhelmed.

But I didn’t overhaul everything at once.

Instead, I focused on three things:

✅ 10-minute strength training workouts with BFR bands
✅ Gut health because I'm micro dosing GLP - 1
✅ Eating and drinking 30 - 35 grams of protein 3 x day

By making these small, manageable adjustments, I started to see steady progress, and now I'm feeling better as I enter into peri-menopause.

Here's what I'm doing this holiday season to stay health and happy :)

Healthy Holiday Habit #1: Drink More Water: It’s easy to forget when it’s cold out, but staying hydrated boosts energy and digestion. Aim for half your body weight in ounces daily as a rough guideline!

Healthy Holiday Habit #2: Eat Protein at Every Meal. Protein keeps you fuller, energized, and helps curb holiday cravings. Whether it’s eggs, chicken, tofu, or high-protein legumes, make sure it’s on your plate at every meal!

Healthy Holiday Habit #3: Get 30 Minutes of Physical Activity: Even if you feel like you’re too busy, find a way to get your body moving. It can be walking the dog, doing yoga, or a quick gym session. Keep it simple!

Holiday Habit #4: Spend 15 Minutes Outside: Spending more time indoors? Step outside for just 15 minutes each day to clear your mind and boost your mood. It’s a great way to break up your day.

Holiday Habit #5: Do Something Fun: Take a few minutes daily to do something just for you. It doesn’t matter if it’s just grabbing a coffee at your local coffee shop or starting a new book — as long as it makes you happy!

Holiday Habit #6: Get 7-8 Hours of Sleep: If you can, consider sticking to a solid sleep schedule right now. Poor sleep can throw your blood sugar levels off, which can make you hungry, tired, and irritable (not to mention more likely to get sick!).

Holiday Habit #7: Eat 5 Servings of Fruits & Veggies: Eating more treats than usual? Fruits and veggies give you that extra boost of fiber to keep your digestion balanced! Try a daily smoothie to make it easy.

A year ago I was feeling very overwhelmed and stuck with my workouts and nutrition. It was frustrating because I’ve been a personal trainer and health coach for over 25 years.

I’ve always loved working out and cooking healthy meals. But, this was different. My body fat percentage increased, and my lean muscle mass decreased. It’s the perfect formula for slower metabolism, lower energy, and hormone disruption.

I did a ton of research and realized that these are all symptoms of perimenopause. I began a quest to learn everything I could about how to reset my metabolism and manage all of the other lovely symptoms associated with menopause. 🤪

Bottom line, women need to strength train to maintain a healthy metabolism and body composition. Metabolism is so important.

I wanted to find the formula for building lean muscle mass without having to spend hours at the gym. I didn’t want to starve myself either, because I like to eat.

It’s kinda crazy what I discovered. 10 - 15 minute strength training workouts and a supplement/nutriton strategy that I can personalize for you based on your most recent bloodwork.

My system works and now I’m feeling 100% better. My favorite result, confidence 💪

I want to be one of those little old ladies that still runs track when she’s 100! Strength training paired with supplements and meals that support my metabolism, energy and sleep is a game changer.

If any of this resonates, I’d love to help you start your strength training and nutrition strategy.

Comment STRONG below and I’ll send you info about my Healthy for the Holidays coaching group. It’s going to be a great way to stay on track during a stressful time of year and get a jumpstart on those 2025 goals❤️ 🎄

Anne
