Hey Reader, If you have a desk job and fat loss feels harder than it should — I want to offer you a reframe. The answer isn’t more workouts or cutting out carbs. I know that’s not what the fitness industry tells you. But here’s what’s actually happening: You sit for 8–9 hours a day. Your non-exercise activity — the walking, the fidgeting, the movement that happens just by living — is at rock bottom. Your body has adapted to being still. Then you go to the gym for 45–60 minutes and work really hard. And you wonder why the scale isn’t moving. It’s not a willpower problem. It’s a math problem. A single intense workout doesn’t offset a sedentary baseline. What actually moves the needle for desk job women is increasing your total daily movement — not just your workout intensity. This looks like: None of this is glamorous. None of it looks like a workout. But this is the stuff that compounds when your structured exercise can’t. More effort in the gym won’t fix a broken baseline outside of it. Structure will. 🚶🏽♀️ -Sanjana |

Person B wakes up on Monday motivated too.By Wednesday, work gets busy. She skips the gym. But instead of...
I want to share a quick story from a 1:1 client, because I see this pattern constantly. She came to me feeling completely stuck. She was eating clean, working out, and the scale hadn't moved in two months. When I looked at her food log, I saw exactly why. Her previous trainer had told her to cut out carbs at dinner and avoid carrots because of "sugar." So she was eating a salmon patty with no bun, sautéed zucchini, and feeling miserable. She wasn't stuck because she wasn't trying hard enough....
Reader, I've got some tea for you... Something happened last week that I’m still thinking about. I applied to be a vendor at a local wellness event. Something I was genuinely excited about — the kind of room full of women who are exactly who I built SZN for. I got rejected. The reason? My messaging was “too focused on fat loss.” I sat with that for a minute. Because on one hand, I get it. The wellness industry right now is in this weird moment where fat loss has become almost a dirty phrase —...
