The Scale Is Up, My Hormones Are All Over the Place, and I'm Still Losing 10 Pounds This Summer

Have you ever had a good week, a week where you moved your body and didn't overdo it and felt kind of proud of yourself, only to step on the scale and watch the number go UP? It is one of the most discouraging things in the world, and it is exactly where I found myself this week. The scale is up more than I've seen it all year. And here's the wild part: I actually ate less than the week before. But I am not worried about it one bit, and by the end of this episode, I don't want you to be either.

In this episode I'm getting real about what's actually going on with my body right now, two unusual weekends back to back, a whole lot of salt, my period, and the new hormones I'm working on as I move through perimenopause. Because so many of the women I work with tell me the same thing: that everything that used to work just doesn't work anymore now that they're in perimenopause or menopause, and they think THEY are the problem. My friend, you are not the problem. I'm talking about why the scale going up is not proof that you messed up or that there's something wrong with you, why it's just information, and how getting curious instead of frustrated changes everything. And I'm sharing a little banana chocolate chip muffin story that will show you exactly how to have the food you love, when you actually want it, instead of eating it just because it's there.

But here's what I am MOST excited about. I just created a brand new, completely free guide called The Secrets I'm Using to Lose 10 Pounds This Summer (Even on My Busiest Days). Inside, I walk you through six simple, doable, real-life things I'm using right now, no diet, no rules and restriction, just small shifts you can actually live with, each with one tiny thing you can try that same day. And you do not have to do all six. You pick the ONE that feels doable and you start there. Go grab it for free at sascy.com/secrets.

And if you're ready to build the version of all of this that fits YOUR body, YOUR schedule, and YOUR life, I'd love to talk. I have a limited number of one on one coaching spots this summer.
