Maybe you quit tracking. Maybe you went off plan and blew past your calorie target. For me, it usually looks like something coming up that throws me off. Maybe we go out for dinner and have a couple drinks. Maybe there’s a party with dessert. I go past my calories, and then the next morning I don’t want to weigh in.

I tell myself it’s not going to be good, so I skip the weigh-in. I tell myself I’ll have a good day, get back to normal, and then resume weigh-ins tomorrow.

That’s usually the beginning of the slide.

If you’ve ever searched for weight‑loss advice, you already know how overwhelming it can be. One expert tells you one thing, another tells you the opposite, and suddenly you’re stuck wondering if you’re even capable of choosing the “right” plan.

And maybe that’s where you get stuck — not because you don’t care, but because you’re trying to sort through so much noise.

Or maybe you do know what to do, but you’re not following through. Maybe your brain keeps offering thoughts like:

• “I don’t have time for this.”

• “I should wait until life slows down.”

• “I need more motivation.”

If that’s you, you’re not alone. Inside For More of What Matters, we help with both sides — the plan itself and the support to actually follow through. But for today, let’s just focus on the plan.

If you’ve ever set a goal, made a plan, and then had life get in the way until you give up… you’re not alone. As working moms, we juggle careers, kids, relationships, health, and the never‑ending list of “shoulds.” It’s no wonder we often feel overwhelmed before we even begin.

Inside the For More of What Matters coaching program, we use a simple but powerful tool to break that cycle: challenges. You may already be familiar with our 30‑day habit challenges — one month of focusing on a single small change until it becomes automatic. These challenges build momentum because once something becomes a habit, it stops draining your energy and starts fueling your next step.

But today, I want to talk about something bigger. Something deeper. Something that helps you build the skill of following through:

the three month challenge.

The advice that we need as working moms who are too tired to workout is to actually stop prioritizing workouts over sleep. The advice that most of us get ignores the fact that sleep is so important for building muscle losing fat and looking, feeling, and aging the way that we want to. This post walks you through prioritizing sleep and while also making time for effective workouts so that. you can accomplish all of your goals and create a life full of the things that matter most.

The advice I have for working moms who are overwhelmed because there isn’t enough time to get it all done (because I love you and am not afraid to hurt your feelings): Overwhelm is a choice that you’re making for yourself with the lie “I don’t have enough time.” I know that doesn’t seem to make any sense, so let’s talk about the hidden benefits of overwhelm, so that you can finally trade it in for accomplishing all of your goals and creating a life full of the things that matter most.

When it is hard to follow through on your goals (or to even think about setting goals in the first place) because you’re overwhelmed by working-mom-life, I’ve got you! Learn the truth about where your overwhelm comes from so that you can ditch it and create a life full of the things that matter most.

If you are currently finding yourself way off track in relation to a big goal that you have set, I’ve got you! These simple steps will help you get back on track and stay motivated and committed to all of your big goals.

When we say, “You are enough,” we are leaving out the most important part. What we mean to say is, “Through faith in God alone, you are enough.”

In any area of your life where you find yourself setting goals that you just can’t seem to achieve, take a step back from the results that you are after and focus on one action that you can take to get closer to where you want to be.

It is no secret that moms are overwhelmed. It is time that we change our strategy and create the successful and enjoyable lives we are dreaming of!
