What I eat in a day on my weight loss journey at 39. I'm tracking calories, sharing my full body workout, meal prep ideas, and getting real about the process.
This is week 2 of bringing you along on my weight loss journey. A few years ago, I lost 45 pounds and was in the best shape of my life. Then perimenopause hit, my hormones went out of whack, and the weight slowly started creeping back on.
This year, I'm doing things differently. I'm working with my doctor to balance my hormones, increase my calories to support my metabolism, and build sustainable habits that actually work for my body.
In today's video:
☕ Morning routine with high protein overnight oats
🧘♀️ Mindset work: meditation + EFT tapping for nervous system regulation
💪 Full body workout from my 3-2-1 Challenge (coming soon!)
🏃♀️ Going for a run
🍽️ What I actually eat to lose weight (with calorie + macro breakdown)
📊 How I track my food the day before to reduce stress
Why I'm tracking calories:
My doctor asked me to track for a few weeks so we can see where I'm at and make adjustments. I'm actually working on INCREASING my calories to support my metabolism and lower cortisol. This isn't about restriction - it's about understanding my body.
Calorie & Macro Breakdown:
Daily Total Cals : 1762.3, Protein 114.2g, Carbs 137.6g, Fat 75g, Fiber 44.1g
(I didn't hit the mark on my macros breakdown and that's ok. It's ALL a learning curve!)
What I'm focusing on:
✨ Eating enough protein (goal: 120-140g/day)
✨ Adding fiber to stay full and support digestion
✨ Increasing my daily step count
✨ Sustainable workouts I can do consistently
✨ Regulating my nervous system through meditation & EFT tapping
✨ Working WITH my body, not against it
This is a journey, not a race. And if you're in perimenopause or struggling with weight that won't budge, you're not alone. Our bodies are trying to tell us something, and sometimes we just need to listen differently.
Recipes Shown in This Video:
