If you overate this weekend and your brain is telling you that you need to restrict, skip meals, or do an extra hard workout to make up for it, this episode is for you. Because what you do RIGHT NOW matters so much more than what happened over the weekend.I'm sharing exactly what I ate this Easter weekend (it involved three desserts, a Reese's egg, and a ham sandwich on a biscuit at 7 PM), what the scale said the next morning, and why I'm letting it mean absolutely nothing. I'm also talking about what I learned from my 30-day Instagram scale challenge back in January that completely changed how I think about weekends, overeating, and the number on the scale.This episode is about breaking the cycle of overeating, feeling guilty, restricting, and starting over on Monday. Because the overeating was never actually the problem. It was what we made it mean about ourselves. And once you understand that, everything changes.If you're interested in working with me one on one, I have just a few spots open right now.

Summer is about 12 weeks away and I know what you're probably thinking. You're thinking about bathing suits and shorts and sleeveless tops and whether you're going to feel confident in your body. But I want to ask you a totally different question: how do you want to FEEL this summer?In this episode I'm sharing why that one question changed everything for me, including a hike I took this week that reminded me exactly how I want to feel in my body all summer long. I'm also being honest about why I missed last week's episode (spoiler: the response from the Spring Weight Loss Kickoff Challenge was incredible and I was busy pouring into my new coaching clients).If you've been stuck thinking about what you want to look like instead of how you want to feel, this episode is going to flip that for you. And I'm giving you one simple thing to do this week that will get you moving in the right direction.If you're interested in working with me one on one, email me at stacy@sascy.com or DM me on Instagram @sascycycling with the word INTERESTED and let's chat!Check out my free Lose Weight Biking Quick Start Guide: www.sascy.com/guideHang out with me on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/sascycycling/Join the FREE Facebook Community: https://www.facebook.com/groups/bikingwellness

We are right in the middle of the Spring Weight Loss Kickoff Challenge and it has been SO good. Women are showing up, sharing what they're going through, and having real breakthroughs about why weight loss hasn't been working for them. And if you didn't sign up or you're a couple days behind, this episode is going to catch you up so you can jump right in with us.On Day 1 we talked about three things we've all been told about weight loss that just aren't true, and the responses from the women in the challenge were incredible. From calorie tracking apps that take the joy out of eating to the "calories in, calories out" advice that doesn't account for what's actually happening in our bodies during menopause, everyone just exhaled with relief knowing it's not their fault these things haven't worked.On Day 2 we got into what actually DOES work for weight loss, and it's simpler than you think. Plus I'm giving you a sneak peek at what's coming on Day 3 because you are not going to want to miss it.It is not too late to join us. Sign up for free at sascy.com/challenge and catch up in about ten minutes. If the challenge has already ended by the time you're hearing this, head to sascy.com/challenge anyway and get on the waitlist for the next one.Check out my free Lose Weight Biking Quick Start Guide: www.sascy.com/guideHang out with me on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/sascycycling/Join the FREE Facebook Community: https://www.facebook.com/groups/bikingwellness

You're eating better. You're moving your body. You're doing all the things. And the scale won't budge. Or worse, it's going UP.Here's what you need to know: the scale doesn't just measure fat. It measures water, muscle, food in your stomach, swelling, and hormones. So when the scale goes up, it doesn't always mean you gained fat.I just finished weighing myself every single day for 30 days and saw patterns. The scale went up after workouts because my muscles were holding water. It went up on Mondays because of salt and water retention. Understanding these patterns changed everything.In this episode I'm breaking down why the scale doesn't always show your real progress and what to do when it feels stuck. I'm talking about all the things that affect the scale that have nothing to do with fat loss. Why what worked before doesn't work the same way as you get older (hello perimenopause and menopause!). The non-scale factors that actually matter. How long to keep going before you change something. And, what to actually do when the scale won't move.You might be overeating healthy food. You might be underfeeding your workouts while trying to lose weight. Your body might just need more time. Or your current weight might be exactly where you need to be right now.The scale isn't the enemy. But it's not telling you the whole truth either.Did you know that I offer individual weight loss coaching?

Tired of tracking every single calorie? Done with Weight Watchers, MyFitnessPal, and Noom? You're not alone. And here's what the influencers and experts won't tell you: you don't actually need to track your macros and calories to lose weight successfully.I lost 50 pounds in 2020 without tracking a single thing. That was six years ago. I'm now in full blown perimenopause and I haven't gained the weight back. And I still don't track anything.In this episode I'm sharing exactly how I did it and how you can lose weight without calorie counting apps or food tracking. Because here's the problem: tracking disconnects you from your body. It keeps you from eating when you're hungry and stopping when you're satisfied. It teaches you to restrict and creates a good food bad food mentality that's impossible to sustain.So what do you do instead? You plan. Five minutes every morning. You eliminate decision fatigue by eating the same breakfast and lunch. You fuel your workouts properly without restricting on active days. You follow your hunger cues. And you test and find out what actually works for YOUR body.We're covering why Weight Watchers and calorie counting apps don't work long term, the simple five minute morning meal planning system that replaces tracking, how to eliminate decision fatigue around food, how to fuel your bike rides and workouts when you're trying to lose weight, and why eating when you're hungry and stopping when you're satisfied is more effective than any app.This is for women over 40 who are done with restrictive diets and ready for a sustainable weight loss approach that doesn't require micromanaging your life in an app.If you want personalized support creating a plan that actually works for your body and your life, email stacy@sascy.com or DM @sascycycling on Instagram with the word INTERESTED so that we can chat about what will work best for you!Check out my free Lose Weight Biking Quick Start Guide: www.sascy.com/guideHang out with me on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/sascycycling/Join the FREE Facebook Community: https://www.facebook.com/groups/bikingwellness

February is hard. The January motivation is gone, it's freezing cold, and you're stuck somewhere between "I already failed at my goals" and "spring feels so far away."But here's what I need you to know: spring is six weeks away. And your spring self, the one that will bike, hike, walk, and move, is being built right now. In these small, unglamorous February moments. In five-minute wins.In this episode I'm giving you a menu of simple, doable five-minute habits you can start today to build real momentum. And here's the rule: pick the one that feels too easy. The one that feels like it's not enough. Because that's exactly the right place to start.We're covering five-minute movement ideas for when it's too cold to go outside, five minutes of meal planning that can change your entire day, how drinking more water can be your one focus this week, eating when you're hungry and stopping when you're satisfied, and going to bed just five minutes earlier to start building better sleep habits.This isn't about being perfect. It's about being persistent. And it starts with five minutes.If you want help creating your own five-minute reset plan, I have a couple of one on one coaching slots available this week.

Did you start January strong with all the motivation and now it's February and you're exhausted? The New Year's energy is gone and you're wondering if you're already failing at your weight loss goals? You're not.. You just need a plan for when motivation fades.In this episode, I'm giving you a February reality check. Because here's what happens: we make plans for the perfect version of ourselves in January, but we don't make a plan for when life gets hard. When we're tired. When it's freezing cold and we can't get outside. When all we want is comfort food and the couch.So what do you do when all the cards are stacked against you? You figure out your minimum baseline. The one, two, three things you can do on your worst days to keep moving forward. Not perfectly, but forward. Because something is always better than nothing.I'm sharing why you need two plans, how to figure out your minimum baseline, and the difference between being persistent versus being consistent. Spoiler: the only difference between someone who loses weight and someone who doesn't is that the person who loses weight doesn't give up. They just keep starting again.If you need help creating a plan that actually fits YOUR life, I have a couple one on one coaching slots available.

You just have to keep going.Check out my free Lose Weight Biking Quick Start Guide: www.sascy.com/guideHang out with me on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/sascycycling/Join the FREE Facebook Community: https://www.facebook.com/groups/bikingwellness

Lying awake at 3 AM staring at the ceiling? Waking up at 4 and can't get back to sleep? Welcome to perimenopause and menopause, where sleep suddenly becomes this impossible thing your body used to do without thinking.I get it. Sleep used to come so easily to me. And then perimenopause hit and suddenly I'm having the most vivid, crazy dreams, or I'm just awake for no reason wondering what is happening to my body.So in this episode, I'm sharing what's actually working for me right now to get better sleep during perimenopause. These are my down and dirty tips for when your body seems to be working against you. We're talking cheap drugstore earplugs, the Oura ring that's been a game changer, wind down routines that actually work, and my experience with hormone replacement therapy and working with a menopause consultant.But first, let's talk about why this matters so much for weight loss. Because when you don't get enough sleep, your body actually produces more hunger hormones. You're not lacking willpower. Your brain is literally getting messages that you're hungry. Plus, when you're exhausted, you have zero energy to move your body. Sleep is one of the most important factors in weight loss for women over 40, and nobody talks about it enough.I'm covering eight practical strategies you can start using tonight, including what to eat and what not to eat before bed, supplement timing with creatine, why consistency matters more than perfection, and what to do when nothing seems to work. Because here's what I've learned the further I get into perimenopause: what used to work doesn't always work anymore. Not just with sleep, but with weight loss too. The key is to test, be patient, and find what works for YOUR body.Whether you're in perimenopause, menopause, or just struggling to get enough sleep as a woman over 40, this episode will help you figure out your own sleep solution. Better sleep is possible. You just need to find what works for you.Now, if you're listening in real time, I have just a couple one-on-one coaching slots available this week.We'll work together to figure out what works for YOUR body and YOUR life. I'll create a personalized plan for you that fits your schedule and your goals. You'll get weekly check-ins with me, daily text and email support, and someone in your corner helping you figure this all out for 30 days.Email stacy@sascy.com or DM @sascycycling on Instagram with the word INTERESTED if you want one on one coaching to figure out what works for your body and your life. If this episode helped you, I would love it if you could share it with a friend who's also struggling with sleep during perimenopause or menopause.Check out my free Lose Weight Biking Quick Start Guide: www.sascy.com/guideHang out with me on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/sascycycling/Join the FREE Facebook Community: https://www.facebook.com/groups/bikingwellness

Standing in your kitchen at 5 PM with absolutely no idea what to eat for dinner. You're exhausted. You've made a million decisions today. And now you have to figure out what to make that will actually fuel your body without derailing your weight loss goals.My friend, I have been there. And today I'm sharing my simplest meal planning strategies when you have zero ideas, zero time, and zero energy to figure it out.In this episode, I'm walking you through exactly how I plan my meals for the week in a way that actually works. I'm sharing the story of a friend who struggled on a group bike ride because all she ate was a salad for lunch, and why we need carbs to fuel our movement. I'm telling you about the time my husband caught me using ChatGPT to plan our dinners and looked at me like I'd lost my mind. And I'm giving you permission to ask for help, because you don't have to do this all by yourself.We're covering how to plan your meals around your movement schedule, how to use a running list of go to meals strategically with leftovers, why eating the same breakfast and lunch all week can simplify your life, and the simple template I use when I'm truly stuck.Whether you're meal planning for yourself or for your whole family, this episode will help you stop overthinking it and start fueling your body in a way that supports your weight loss and your movement.And if you're thinking this all sounds great but you still don't know what works for YOUR body and YOUR life, I'm opening just 3 spots for one on one coaching with me this week. I'll create a personalized meal plan for you, give you weekly check ins, and support you every single day by email/text for 30 days.

I'm eight days into weighing myself every single day and sharing my raw, unfiltered thoughts about the number on Instagram. And let me tell you, this has brought up SO much stuff. Shame, comparison, anxiety about the weekend, thoughts I didn't even know I still had.But here's what I'm realizing: it's not the NUMBER that's the problem. It's what we MAKE that number mean about us.In this episode, I'm pulling back the curtain on what's come up for me in the first eight days of this challenge. I'm sharing the actual thoughts that have popped into my head when the scale doesn't cooperate, when it brings up shame and comparison, and when I'm anxious about "blowing it" on the weekends. And I'm giving you the exact tools I'm using to manage my brain about the scale so you can use them too.We're covering what to do when you think you're doing everything right and the scale doesn't cooperate, how to handle shame and comparison when you step on the scale, what to do when you're anxious about weekends or events, and the most important question: can YOU weigh yourself without making it mean something about you?Whether you weigh yourself every day, once a week, or never, this episode is for you. Because even if you never step on a scale, these tools will help you manage your thoughts about your body, your progress, and yourself.I want to hear from YOU. What's your relationship with the scale like? Does it mess with your head? Do you avoid it? Email me at stacy@sascy.com or send me a DM on Instagram.

You know what to do. You've set the goal. You're motivated. But then week two hits, motivation fades, life gets busy, and you give up. Sound familiar?In this episode, I'm sharing two very personal stories from my own life. One where I lost 50 pounds completely alone (and why it was SO much harder than it needed to be), and one where I hired a personal trainer for strength training (and everything changed).The difference? Support.I'll walk you through what happened when I kept my weight loss journey a secret, why I was terrified to ask for help, and how trying to figure it all out on my own made everything take longer and feel harder. Then I'll share what shifted when I finally decided to do things differently with strength training and got the support I needed.Here's the truth: Knowing what to do isn't the hard part. The hard part is doing it when you're tired, staying on track when life gets crazy, not giving up when you mess up, and keeping it going when motivation fades. That's where support makes all the difference.If you're tired of doing this alone and ready for someone in your corner who won't let you quit, I have a few spots opening for 90-day individual coaching. Email me at stacy@sascy.com with the word INTERESTED and let's talk about whether this is a good fit for you.You don't have to figure this out alone. You don't have to keep starting over.Check out my free Lose Weight Biking Quick Start Guide: www.sascy.com/guideHang out with me on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/sascycycling/Join the FREE Facebook Community: https://www.facebook.com/groups/bikingwellness

Did you know the second Friday of January is called National Quitter's Day? By mid-January, most people have already abandoned their New Year's resolutions.But what if this year was different?Today I'm sharing the exact 5-step framework I used to lose 50 pounds and keep it off, and how you can use it to set goals that actually STICK.You'll learn how to get clear on what you ACTUALLY want (not what you "should" want), why you need ONE priority (not ten), the small doable actions that work better than massive overhauls, what to do when life gets crazy and you can't do everything, and the mindset shift that keeps you going when you mess up.I'm also sharing what I'm hearing from women in my current challenge: goals like incorporating 2 strength workouts a week, doing a pull-up by the end of the year, drinking 80 oz of water daily, and one woman who realized she doesn't just want to lose weight. She wants to be stronger and faster on her bike so she can go backpacking this summer.If you're tired of quitting by February, this episode gives you a plan that works.And listen, if you're hearing this in real time, I'm running a FREE 5-day January Jumpstart Challenge right now.

The bathrooms backed up at work this week. I cried to my mom on Friday. I'm waking up at 4 AM. Christmas cards aren't sent. Presents aren't wrapped. Everyone is tapped out right now, and I am right there with you.So today I'm sharing exactly what's working for me RIGHT NOW to get through when I'm running on empty. The real strategies I'm using this week, not theory or perfect advice.You'll learn the mindset shift that stopped me from spiraling after my cry session, why I'm giving myself permission to run on ibuprofen and caffeine without shame, how I'm still moving my body even when exhausted (my "sad bike path walk" counts), and my sleep strategy that's working even with 4 AM wake-ups.I'm sharing what I actually did this week: skipping a meeting to be in my jammies by 9 PM, asking "What CAN I do?" instead of spiraling, and getting to bed early even though I know I'll wake up at 4.If you're feeling overwhelmed right now, these strategies are helping me stay steady, and they'll help you too.And listen, I know you're just trying to survive the next few days. But come January 5th, I want you in my FREE January Jumpstart Challenge.

You're staring at your fridge with no idea what to eat today. You had big plans to meal prep this week (you even bought all the ingredients!) but now you're overwhelmed, there are Christmas cookies everywhere, and you just want to make it through the next two weeks without losing control.Here's the truth: You don't need an elaborate meal plan or hours of meal prep. You need five minutes a day and a simple strategy that actually fits your chaotic December schedule.In this episode, I'm showing you exactly how I meal plan during the holidays (it only takes five minutes and involves writing five letters in a notebook), why keeping the same breakfast and lunch every day is actually brilliant, and the one mindset shift that lets you enjoy Christmas cookies without eating all of them.You'll learn the simple B-L-S-D-D method for daily meal planning, how to match your food to your actual activity level (not what you think you "should" eat), why buying soup instead of making it is a smart move right now, the secret to eating one or two cookies instead of the entire plate, and what to do when you eat more treats than you planned (hint: it's not starting over tomorrow).I'm sharing real examples from my own week, including exactly what my five-minute meal plan looks like, how I handle Christmas cookies at work without obsessing over them all day, and why planning your treats actually gives them less power over you.If you've been over-complicating meal planning, skipping meals because you're "too busy," or feeling out of control around holiday treats, this episode will simplify everything and help you feel steady through the rest of December.Want me to create your personalized 2-week holiday plan? If you are listening live in 2025 I will create a custom plan just for you. Not a template or generic PDF, a simple plan built specifically for your life right now. You'll get a realistic movement plan, simple food anchors, a strategy for holiday treats and meals, what to do if you get off track, and email and text support for the next two weeks.

You told yourself you'd just have a little something after dinner. An hour later, you've demolished half a bag of chips, three cookies, and you don't even remember tasting any of it. Now you're sitting there thinking, "Why can't I just stop? What is wrong with me?"Here's the truth: Nothing is wrong with you. Overeating isn't a character flaw or a sign that you lack willpower. It's just a pattern, and patterns can be changed.In this episode, I'm pulling back the curtain on my own struggles with overeating and giving you the exact strategies I use to prevent it before it happens, stop it while it's happening, and most importantly, how to move forward after without spiraling into shame.You'll learn the #1 thing to do BEFORE overeating happens, how to actually stop mid-overeat without finishing the whole bag "because you already started," what to do the next day after you've overeaten, and why identifying your overeating triggers is the key to breaking the cycle for good.I'm sharing three vulnerable stories from my own life, including the times I'd eat half a bag of Doritos in my car after stressful workdays, the game nights where I'd graze while cooking and end up uncomfortably full, and the hardest one: standing at the pantry after putting my toddler to bed, trying to fill an emotional void with food.If you've ever felt out of control around food, this episode is your permission slip to be kind to yourself and your roadmap to actually change the pattern.Check out Lose 6 Pounds in 6 Weeks!
