In this episode of Reality Check with Jess and Jill...

We’re diving deep into the transformative journey of health and fitness with special guest Sarah Krieger, owner of CP Fitness and host of the Don’t Call Me Skinny podcast. Sarah shares her raw and relatable story of losing 80 pounds, navigating a lifetime of diet culture, and how she embraced strength training and macros to create lasting change in her life.

Together, we discuss:

• Sarah’s upbringing and the challenges of breaking free from a carb-heavy, diet-focused environment.
• The pivotal moments that drove her to prioritize her health, even in the face of personal struggles like divorce and single motherhood.
• The mental and emotional shifts required to stop viewing food as the enemy and start embracing a lifestyle of strength and confidence.
• How Sarah built her coaching philosophy, "Consistency Over Perfection," and why it resonates with so many women.
• The importance of tracking progress, lifting weights, and shifting the focus from shrinking your body to building strength.

Sarah also shares powerful advice on balancing indulgence with intentionality, making conscious choices without guilt, and why data and tracking are essential for sustainable success. Whether you’re stuck in the cycle of cardio and calorie slashing or just curious about how to approach fitness differently, this episode is packed with actionable insights.

Mentioned in this episode:

• CP Fitness (Instagram handle: @thebasicsb)
• Don’t Call Me Skinny podcast
• Thinner Leaner Stronger by Mike Matthews

Key takeaway: It’s not about doing everything perfectly—it’s about starting, staying consistent, and learning to pivot when needed. Strength is the ultimate superpower, and Sarah is here to show us why.
