Let’s be honest—summer hits different when you’re a mom.
Your quiet mornings turn into full-blown chaos before 8 a.m.
You’re out of routine, out of snacks, and somehow already cleaning up a mess you didn’t make.
And trying to stick to your weight loss goals?
It feels nearly impossible.
But here’s what I’ve learned after losing 80 pounds and keeping it off for over a decade:
You don’t need a perfect morning to make progress.
You just need a few non-negotiables that anchor you—even when life is loud.
So today I’m sharing the 3 simple habits I don’t skip – no matter how wild summer gets!
1. Start with a Protein-Packed Breakfast
I used to skip breakfast or grab a granola bar on the go…Only to find myself starving and snacking off my kids’ plates by 10 a.m.
Now? My mornings start with 25–30g of protein—every single day.
Why it matters:
👉 Protein keeps me full longer
👉 It stabilizes my blood sugar (no more crashes + cravings)
👉 It sets the tone for my food choices all day
Go-to examples:
– Protein smoothie with frozen fruit + greens
– Eggs + avocado toast
– Greek yogurt + berries + hemp seeds
Bonus: I keep it simple—because if it’s complicated, I won’t do it. And neither will you.
2. Move My Body (Even for 10 Minutes)
Listen—I’m not hitting the gym for 90 minutes every morning.
But I am moving, every day, even if it’s just a walk around the block with the kids or a 10-minute strength circuit in my bedroom.
Because movement isn’t just about burning calories.
It shifts my mindset.
It reminds me:
I’m showing up for me today.
Summer mom hack:
Let them watch a show, play in the backyard, or join you on the mat.
It doesn’t have to be quiet. It just has to happen.
3. Check in With My Mindset
This is the one most women skip—and it’s the game-changer.
If you’re starting your day feeling defeated, bloated, behind, or already overwhelmed… your choices will reflect that.
But when I take 5 minutes to check in and ask:
– “What does the healthiest version of me need today?”
– “Where do I usually slip up—and how can I stay aware of that?”
– “What would success look like by tonight?”
…everything shifts.
Whether it’s journaling, prayer, or a few deep breaths while hiding in the bathroom—I make space to lead myself before the day leads me.
Here’s the truth:
Weight loss doesn’t come from doing everything.
It comes from doing the right things—consistently.
And when you’ve got kids home for the summer, the best thing you can do is ditch perfection and stick to your anchors.
Fuel your body. Move with intention. Check in with your mind.
That’s the real summer reset.
