For those who just joined or looking for where to start 👇

So for this “in-between week” (that weird limbo between Christmas cookies and New Year ambition), I want you focused on prepping your environment and locking in your foundation so January feels like a runway, not a crash landing.

Your ONE job this week: build your “Plateau Breaker Setup”

If you do nothing else, do this:

1) Pick your starting point: tracking + deficit

The 21-Day Plateau Breaker Blueprint is the best “reset button” for literally everyone because it teaches the skill that drives results:

✅ Know your calories

✅ Know your protein

✅ Find your deficit

✅ Adjust based on data

Yes, tracking can feel tedious. But it’s also the fastest way to stop guessing, stop stalling, and start getting predictable results again.

Because here’s the deal: if you can consistently hit a calorie target and protein target, you can solve almost any plateau.

2) Gather your tools (make success easier than failure)

This week is about removing friction. Get what you need so you’re not “starting fresh” while scrambling.

Choose your basics:

A food scale (if you don’t have one)
A tracking app + a simple notes/journal system
Protein staples (more on this below)

Choose your movement tool:

Walking pad (if that’s your jam)
Gym membership
A workout program (I’ll have options for you in the new year)
Or look under the workout section of the community to give you some ideas
Or the simplest option: a daily step goal + 3 strength sessions/week

Choose your accountability tool:

Daily check-ins inside the community
A habit tracker
A weekly progress photo/measurement reminder

No tool is “magic.” But tools reduce decision fatigue, which is basically the final boss of fat loss.

3) Set your non-negotiables (tiny, realistic, repeatable)

Midlife women don’t need more motivation. You need fewer moving parts.

For next week, pick 3 non-negotiables you can execute even when life is chaotic:

Example set:

Protein first at every meal (even if it’s small)
Track daily (even messy days)
8–10k steps OR 30 minutes of walking (your choice)

If you want extra credit: add 2 strength sessions. Muscle is your metabolism’s best friend, especially in perimenopause/menopause.

4) reality check (so we don’t do the same thing again)

Some of you are stalling because you’re doing one (or more) of these:

Eating too little protein → losing muscle, not just fat
Tracking “kinda” → the numbers lie when we eyeball
Weekends are untracked free-for-alls → plateau city
Sleep is trash → hunger and cravings go feral
Stress is high → you’re in survival mode, not “fat loss mode”

So this week, add one “adulting” habit that supports fat loss:

Aim for a consistent bedtime
10-minute wind-down routine
Morning sunlight + walk
Plan 3 easy meals you can repeat

Your assignment (do this before Monday)

Post your answers in the comments:

What’s your calorie deficit target for the Plateau Breaker? (or “I’m starting and I need help”)
What’s your daily protein goal?
What 3 tools are you getting in place this week? (walking pad, gym, journal, food scale, etc.)
What are your 3 non-negotiables for next week?

We’re not doing “new year, new me.”We’re doing new year, same me… but with a better plan and better receipts.
