2018 → 2026. Age 41 → almost 50. Over 70 lbs gone. ❤️

I turn 50 this October, and I can genuinely say I feel stronger, healthier and better than I did in my early 40s.

This didn’t happen overnight. I learned how to eat to support my body, made weight training a priority, and most importantly, I stayed consistent.

Nutrition and weight training go hand in hand. You can lose weight, but building and maintaining muscle is what changes your body, builds strength and becomes even more important as we get older.

If you think you’re too old to change — you’re not.

At almost 50, I feel better than ever. 💪❤️

I’m currently accepting a limited number of new clients for personal training and nutrition coaching. My current training availability is primarily daytime and weekends, so spots are limited.

Your age doesn’t determine what your body is capable of. Start where you are and keep going.

I’ve been training consistently since 2019 🫣and I swear I’ve been stuck on 12.5 lb dumbbells on front raises FOREVER. 😂

But here’s the thing…
Your shoulders are relatively small muscles, and when you’re doing an isolation exercise like a front raise, a small increase in weight can actually be a BIG increase.

Going from 10 lbs to 12.5 lbs is a 25% jump. 😳

That’s why I remind my clients (and apparently myself 😂) that progression doesn’t always mean grabbing a heavier dumbbell.

Sometimes progress is:
• more reps
• better control
• slower on the way down
• cleaner form
• less momentum

I could grab the 15s and swing them up…but that completely defeats the purpose.
So for now…10–12.5 lbs and I’ll keep earning the next jump. 💪

Menopause hit me before I even realized it.😬🙄

I was exhausted, cravings I thought I'd conquered were back, and I started carrying more fat around my abdomen and arms. After once being clinically obese, I was scared I was going backwards.

I finally had my hormones tested — my estrogen was almost zero and my progesterone was extremely low. I was already clinically in menopause.

Menopause/Perimenopause can make weight management harder, but it doesn't change the basic fundamentals — energy balance still matters. Calories consumed versus energy expended, movement, strength training and consistency all play a role.

Advocate for yourself. Get the answers you need and use the tools available to help you — HRT with your healthcare provider, therapy, personal training, nutrition support or simply asking for help.

I'm not going backwards. I'm building a stronger, soon-to-be 50-year-old body. 💪🔥

We all want to lift heavier 🏋‍♂️ 🏋‍♀️—and we’ll get there.
Strength isn’t built by rushing the process. It’s built through consistency, proper form and progression.
Focus on your form. Feel the muscle you’re actually trying to work. Trust the process.
The heavier weights will come when you’re ready. 😉

Strong legs aren't built by doing what's comfortable. 🔥
Bulgarian split squats — single-leg strength, stability, balance and a whole lot of glute + quad work.

Monday morning 💪 Just how we like to start the week. If the gym was easy, everyone would be doing it. But it’s not. Some days motivation is there, some days it isn’t. Some workouts feel great, others you just get through.
The trick isn’t being motivated every day. It’s learning to show up anyway. Another Monday. Another workout. Another one done.

Sometimes progress isn’t about weighing less — it’s about changing what that weight looks like. 💪
The goal was to build muscle, not lose weight. Only 2 kg (4.4 lbs) between these photos, but a noticeable change in overall shape and body composition.
The scale never tells the whole story. 🔥
