How Abby Lost 2 Dress Sizes at Age 46 During Perimenopause
At 46, Abby felt like she was losing a battle against time. After a remarkable weight loss journey at 40, which included losing 4.5 stone and completing multiple races and a triathlon, she found herself struggling with perimenopause, weight gain, and the mental fatigue of balancing a demanding life. However, with the help of the Fit Over 40 Private Coaching program by TRINITY, Abby turned her life around and dropped 2 dress sizes. Here’s how she did it:
Exercise: Finding the Right Routine
- Structured Workouts: TRINITY provided Abby with a structured exercise plan tailored specifically for women over 40. This structure removed the mental burden of deciding what exercises to do, ensuring she stayed consistent.
- Regularity and Consistency: Regular workouts became a cornerstone of Abby’s transformation. The program’s approach of “doing something over nothing” helped her maintain momentum, even on challenging days. This consistency was crucial for regaining her fitness and losing the “muffin top.”
- Versatile Fitness: In addition to helping her lose weight, the workouts improved her strength, balance, and flexibility. Abby noticed these benefits in her karate practice and daily life, reducing aches and pains and enhancing her overall well-being.
Nutrition: Fueling the Body Right
- Dietary Awareness: Through TRINITY’s WADS (Weight, Activity, Diet, and Sleep) approach, Abby gained valuable insights into how her diet impacted her mentally and physically. She learned to make healthier food choices, which significantly improved her energy levels and mood.
- Balanced Diet: Abby focused on eating a balanced diet rich in nutrients. This helped her manage the symptoms of perimenopause better and supported her body’s needs during workouts.
- Reducing Alcohol: Recognizing the impact of alcohol on her health, Abby cut back on her consumption. This not only helped in weight loss but also improved her overall mental clarity and energy levels.
Mindset: Cultivating a Positive Outlook
- Overcoming Mental Fatigue: Perimenopause and the pressures of being a single mom during the pandemic had taken a toll on Abby’s mental health. TRINITY’s structured plan alleviated much of her mental fatigue, providing a clear path forward and reducing decision-making stress.
- Positive Self-Talk: Abby learned to approach setbacks with a positive mindset. Instead of beating herself up for occasional slips, she focused on understanding her triggers and making adjustments. This mindset shift helped her stay on track and maintain her progress.
- Community and Support: Being part of the TRINITY community and having the support of her coach was invaluable. This sense of belonging and understanding that her needs were being listened to made a significant difference in her journey. It provided her with motivation and reassurance, making her feel capable and supported.
