Hi there!
Feeling that post-summer slump? raises hand
Did you enjoy all the BBQs, ice cream runs with the kids, car snacks on road trips and beach bevies this summer?
Living your best summer life was probably SO MUCH FUN, but now, as the kids head back to school, you might be feeling the aftermath in ways that aren’t so fun. Those jeans that used to fit perfectly? Yeah, they’re feeling a bit snug. And that confident, radiant version of you? She’s been hiding under a few extra pounds.
But don’t stress, momma—we’ve all been there. And the good news? You’re not alone in wanting to get back to feeling comfortable in your skin. Whether it’s those tighter clothes, the number on the scale creeping up or just feeling like you’ve lost a bit of your groove, it’s time to hit reset.
Don’t hate me for saying this, but the holiday season is quickly approaching. (I know, I’m sorry!) I was shocked to see Halloween decor in stores this month—but yeah, I bought some because we all know the cute stuff goes fast, right?! #girlmath
Halloween will be here frighteningly fast. (You see what I did there?) And then, in a blink, it’s Thanksgiving—followed by a whirlwind of cookies, cocktails, and Christmas cheer.
Here’s the thing: NOW is the perfect time to refocus on establishing healthy habits. That way, when the holiday season hits, you’ll be in a great place to navigate the holidays. Are you with me?
Say hello to the Back to School Challenge—a 4-week reset that will have you feeling fabulous and confident, so you can focus on making holiday memories with your kids instead of stressing about how your clothes fit.
If you’ve been around for a minute, you may have participated in one of the past 6 Challenges. This round has some exciting updates and changes to the format. New resources have been added to help you crush your goals!
New here? Have no idea what I’m referring to?
Below is a little Q & A to help answer any questions you may have about the Challenge. Still need more info? Contact me!
When is the Challenge?
It begins Monday, September 16 and runs for 4 weeks.
There is Prep Week prior to the start of the Challenge: Monday, 9/9 – Sunday, 9/15.
Official dates are Monday, 9/16 – Sunday, 10/13 You’ll build momentum and feel confident heading into the holiday season!
What will I get out of it?
🌟 Daily Mini-Challenges: Each day, you’ll earn points by completing simple but powerful habits that drive real results—like staying hydrated, hitting your step goals, loading up on fiber, and getting quality sleep. The more habits you nail, the more points you rack up!
🌟 Nutrition Accountability: Each night, you’ll post a screenshot of your daily macros in the Facebook group. I’ll be there to provide feedback on your post, guide you, and cheer you on! This keeps you motivated and ensures your food choices align with your goals.
🌟 Weekly Reflections: You’ll think back on your week, reflecting on what went well and areas you can improve to help you be even more successful. You’ll also track weight + measurements as another form of accountability (no worries, your data stays private). This is about progress, not perfection.
🌟 Meal Inspiration: There will be daily challenges to share what you’re eating so the group will be buzzing with meal inspo. You’ll find tons of new recipes/ideas to keep your meals exciting and delicious!
🌟 Supportive Community: Join a Facebook group of incredible women who are on the same path. Share your wins, vent your struggles, and cheer each other on every step of the way.
🌟 Cash Prizes: Yep, you heard that right! I’m dishing out $250 for first place, $100 for second, and $50 each to three random participants who complete the challenge—just for showing up for yourself!
Plus, brand-new resources!

I literally know nothing (very little) about macros.. Should I join?
YES! Prep Week is meant for you! Whether you’re completely new to macro counting or need a little guidance to get started.
You, me and a small group of gals will go through the basics. Questions will get answered, strategies will be shared, logging will be practiced and you’ll feel MUCH more confident when the Challenge commences – promise!
Plus, you’ll receive a Custom Macro Breakdown ($30 value) based on your biometrics, lifestyle and individual goals!
Who can participate in The Fall Challenge?
The Challenge is perfect for any woman seeking to refine her nutrition, cultivate a positive mindset, and receive daily motivation to become the best version of herself.
Additionally, you’ll need a Facebook account as the Challenge will take place in an exclusive FB group.
I’m out of town for some of those dates.. Can I still participate?
Of course! While traveling can make it more difficult to stay focused on your nutrition, it’s often a part of life.
There will always be distractions that might throw you off track, but you can engage in the challenge whether you’re at home or on the go.
In fact, you may discover that participating actually encourages you to make better, more deliberate choices. The key is finding that balance!
Do I need to live locally to jump in?
Nope! I work with women all over the map.
This Challenge is conducted completely online. You are welcome to join no matter where you live!
Can past clients participate?
You bet! Past clients, there is a spot saved with your name on it!
The daily challenges will be engaging and motivating to everyone who participates.
Do I need to count my macros to participate?
Nope! You can still get a lot outta the Challenge without actually counting your macros. The goal is that you’ll create or reinstate healthy lifestyle habits in regards to nutrition, exercise, mindset and motivation!
Do I need to track my food? I don't wanna.
You do not. However, tracking your food is one way to earn points. Every day there’ll be a post for you to upload a screenshot of your daily macros. If you’re logging your food (while counting macros or not), you can easily participate.
You mentioned pts.. How do I earn 'em?
There’ll be daily mini-challenges to earn points. Before we kick things off, you’ll receive a Points Calendar briefly outlining each mini-challenge.
Every morning the mini-challenge will be posted and explained thoroughly, along with its point value. You’re responsible for keeping track of your points on the calendar provided.
Mini-Challenges range from meal prepping, sharing recipes, eating veggies, including enough fiber, clocking quality sleep and submitting your progress chart. Plus, keep an eye out for surprise BONUS mini-challenges!
At the end of the Challenge, calendars will be verify from the top point earners. If you’re in the top 2, you’ll score some cash! If not, don’t despair. You’ll still have 3 chances of winning some money from participating!
Are points awarded for losing weight/inches?
Nope! Points aren’t given for losing pounds or inches – those are just a bonus!
Everyone is on an even playing field – whether you’re a newbie, a seasoned veteran, or not into macro counting at all.
Do the points translate into prizes?
Heck yes! You’re responsible for keeping track of your points on the calendar provided. I’ll verify points of the top placed entrants at the end of the challenge to determine the winners. If you come in the top 2, you’ll a shoe in for the MONEY!
Spicy plot twist – instead of awarding a traditional 3rd place, I’ll be randomly selecting THREE lucky participants who’ve submitted their Pts Calendar to each win $50! This opens up more chances for you to snag a win, especially if your month isn’t flawless.
1st place will earn $250
Also – 3 random entrants will win $50 each for participating!
2nd place will earn $125
3 random participants will earn $50
Prizes will be paid out via PayPal or Venmo – winner’s choice.
What do I need to participate?
You’ll need a FB account to join the Challenge group.
If you plan to track macros, you’ll want to download My Fitness Pal or another tracking app.
I really, realllly encourage using a scale to weigh your food. Portion sizes is often underestimated and we’re eating MUCH more than we think. (This is a needle mover!)
Here’s a link to my favorite kitchen scale. (I’ve had a few.) It measures in grams, ounces, pounds, pounds + ounces and mL. I love that it shuts off if I forget to turn it off after a few minutes to save the battery. Plus, it has 5 year warranty if you need it. (Although, mine has worked perfectly for years.) They just released a white version if that works better with your kitchen aesthetic.
Having a soft tape measure is very helpful for taking your measurements each week. You can grab one from Target or order this cute pink one for under $2 from Amazon.
If you’re completely new to macro counting, I highly recommend you check out this blog post about the basics!
Will I get a meal plan to follow?
Nope. I don’t believe in meal plans for 3 main reasons.
1. Macros can vary greatly from person to person, so a plan that fits my macros would likely not fit yours.
2. Everyone has different tastes and preferences when it comes to food. Staples that I love and include in my diet daily may not be your cup of tea. I encourage a balanced way of eating that fits YOUR needs!
3. The goal is to learn HOW to format your nutrition to best fuel your body, not simply eat what someone tells you to eat.
You WILL get a list of my grocery staples and my weekly dinner menu for meal inspo.
There’ll also be ways to earn points by sharing recipes, so you’ll have access to oodles and oodles of healthy meal options!
Will you be reviewing my nutrition log?
I won’t be reviewing your actual log, but I’ll see those daily screenshots if you choose to post them (for points!)
You’re also welcome and encouraged to “friend” other participants in MFP, which will give them access to your food dairy – more accountability!
I'm digging it! How much is the investment?
$150 – Fall Macro Challenge >> 4 weeks of daily accountability, weekly check-ins and loads of mini-challenges to implement healthy habits.
$175 – Fall Macro Challenge + Custom Macro Breakdown >> Hand-calculated, personalized macros using your personal data and goals.
$225 – Fall Macro Challenge + Prep Week + Custom Macro Breakdown >> New to macro counting? This is the best route for you!
We’ll cover the basics in a small group setting before diving into the Challenge. You’ll receive a copy of my 10 pg Macro Guide, your custom macros and practice logging before the real deal kicks off.
