You've lost count of the restarts. Monday, the first of the month, "after this weekend" — you've begun so many times the count stopped meaning anything.
You start strong, then it falls apart by week two. It's never the starting that gets you. It's day nine, when motivation runs out and there's no plan holding you up.
You don't have two hours for the gym. You don't have brain space for color-coded macros and a 14-step morning routine. You have a full life and about four working brain cells by 3pm. You need strong-and-simple, not perfect-and-impossible.
You're tired of being the "before" in your own life. Tired of ducking out of photos, of the mental math every time you get dressed, of putting the real version of yourself on hold until some future summer that never quite arrives.
Your body's been keeping score. The 2pm crash you've started calling normal. The breakouts you're too old to still be fighting. The week before your period that flattens you — the bloat, the mood, the exhaustion — so you only really get half a month to feel like yourself. The lab result with a word you didn't want to hear: prediabetic, borderline, "let's keep an eye on it.
I'm not a nutritionist or a personal trainer.
I'm a wife and a mom who got tired of starting over every Monday and actually figured out what works in a real life — one with a family, a business, and not a lot of spare time.
Over the last two years I have lost one hundred pounds while focusing on high protein, nutrient dense foods.
Everything in Strong Girl Summer is what I do myself: the meals I cook for my family, the strength workouts that fit around real days, the system that finally made it stick after years of quitting by week two.
I built it because I needed it.
I was pre-diabetic, chronically exhausted, addicted to sugar, in the trenches with PMS and desperate for healing. I finally came to terms with the fact that food was either going to heal me or it was going to kill me - and I chose to heal.
You are not overweight and lazy -
but you might be overweight and undernourished like I was.
If you've started avoiding your own reflection or questioning if you're health is too far gone - you are the person I created this challenge for.
I cannot wait to see you realize your potential.
No. This is for total beginners and women getting back into it. Everything scales to where you're starting.
Both. It's a high-protein, nutrient-dense nutrition challenge and strength training — food is half of it, not an afterthought.
No. No starving, no cutting out food groups, no guilt. You'll eat more protein and real food, not less of everything.
Yes. Real guidance on what to eat and how to hit your protein — not a vague "eat better" and good luck.
It's built for a busy real life. Workouts and meals both fit around family and work — no rearranging your whole day.
