“Life changing.” Cass, summer challenge
Every year it goes the same way. Thanksgiving starts it, the parties keep it going, and by New Year's you've written off six weeks and promised January will be different.
It's not a willpower problem. It's that nobody gave you a plan small enough to actually run while the season is happening.
This challenge is four simple things done for 6 weeks: slow-carb eating with a cheat day built in, intentional workouts, a daily step target, and a daily weigh-in. That's it.
A complete system built on four things
Intentional workouts
Three a week: two for conditioning, one for strength. Dumbbells and bodyweight, so they work at home or in a hotel room. Timers and demos in the app, so you just press play.
Daily steps
A step target you hit every day. The walk after dinner is where most of the holiday damage quietly disappears.
Daily weigh-in
Step on the scale every morning and log it. Not to judge the number, to see the trend. The trend is what you manage.
How the 6 weeks run
Week 1
Setup and kickoff (Nov 16-22)
App set up, targets assigned, a live kickoff call, and your first full week of the four habits before Thanksgiving hits.
Weeks 2-6
The season (Nov 23 - Dec 27)
Thanksgiving, the parties, the travel, the cookies. You run the same four habits through all of it, with the group and me in your corner every week.
What's inside
Your workouts in the app
Three a week for 6 weeks: two conditioning, one strength. Dumbbells and bodyweight, with built-in timers and video demos.
The slow-carb playbook
What to eat, what to skip, and how to run the cheat day so it works for you instead of against you.
Weekly live group calls
One a week, recorded and sent the same day if you can't make it live.
Daily accountability in the group chat
A small group with direct access to me. Post your plates, your steps, your weigh-ins, your wins.
A daily scoreboard
Food, workouts, steps and weigh-ins, scored every day so you always know where you stand.
Holiday-specific game plans
Thanksgiving, office parties, travel days and the week between Christmas and New Year's, each with a plan.
Hold the line, earn the mug
Make it through the holidays without gaining weight and I'll send you this mug with your name on it.
One side says what you survived. The other side lists every holiday you beat.
It's there to keep your holiday drinks warm while you enjoy the win.
You can't buy one. The only way to get it is to hold the line.
Who this is for (and not for)
This is for you if:
- You're 35+ and tired of starting over every January
- You want to enjoy the holidays without writing off six weeks
- You can fit in three workouts a week and a daily walk
- You're okay stepping on a scale every morning
This is NOT for you if:
- You want a crash diet. This is four habits, not a cleanse
- You refuse to weigh in. The daily number is the whole point
- You want a meal plan that tells you exactly what to eat

I help busy adults 35+ get in the best shape of their lives, without cutting out the foods they enjoy.
My whole approach started with one simple idea: you don't need more restriction. You need better structure.
Once you understand which habits actually matter (and which ones don't), you can get strong, lose weight, and still enjoy your favorite foods guilt-free.
Donuts included.
What folks are saying
Hard but attainable. The slow carb system, along with Adam's expertise, taught me the science behind how my body processes food and the benefits of being active.
The small things like daily steps and small food swaps added up to big results.
I went from binge eating when I was stressed to eating like an athlete.

Something comes up? You tell me, I refund you. No forms.
Need help?
Do I have to skip Thanksgiving dinner?
No. That's what the cheat day is for. You eat the meal, you enjoy it, and the next morning you're back on the four habits.
What's slow carb?
Protein, beans and vegetables at every meal, six days a week, with one day where anything goes. No calorie counting. No food scale.
Do I need a gym?
Nope. Dumbbells, your bodyweight and a little floor space. The workouts run in the app with timers and demos.
What if I can't make the live calls?
Every call is recorded and sent the same day. Catching the recording still counts as showing up.
Why weigh in every day?
Because one number is noise and thirty numbers are a trend. The daily weigh-in is how you catch a bad week before it becomes a bad month.
What happens after December 27?
You'll have options, and zero pressure. Most people are just getting warmed up by then.
6 weeks. Four habits. No January do-over.
Survive the Holidays runs November 16 to December 27.
Kickoff week gets you set up before Thanksgiving. Then five weeks of the same four habits, straight through the parties.
$99. Doors close November 15.
