I see it all the time…

People work hard but still don’t see the results they want. 

And it’s not because they’re lazy or unmotivated—it’s because they’re focusing on the wrong things.

If you want to burn fat, build strength, and feel your best, here are three simple shifts that can change everything:

1. Focus on Protein First
Instead of stressing over cutting carbs or eating “clean,” focus on getting at least 20-30g of protein per meal. Protein keeps you full, fuels your muscles, and helps burn fat faster. Protein burns more calories to digest then fats/carbs. 

2. Stand up
Researchers discovered that 4 hours or more of inactivity causes a halt in an enzyme that controls fat and cholesterol metabolism. To keep this enzyme from shutting down and increase your metabolism, break up your periods of inactivity by standing up. Your plan – spend the last 5 minutes of each hour up and moving around. At the very least - stand and work for at least 5 minutes.

3. Track What Actually Matters
The scale lies. Instead of obsessing over weight, track things like how many workouts you complete, how much protein you eat, and whether you hit your step goals. Progress happens when you measure what matters.

This is exactly why I created Achievable You 2.0—to take the guesswork out of fitness and make real progress easier than ever.

Inside, you’ll get:

✅ Simple, structured workouts that actually fit your life

✅ A weekly habit tracker to keep you consistent

✅ A no-stress nutrition guide (because extreme diets don’t work)

✅ Accountability to... well, hold you accountable :)

If you’re tired of starting over, this is your chance to finally make fitness work for you.

Let’s do this,
