The “Lost Weeks” Strategy Every Tired Mom Needs This December | Healthy Holiday Series, Week 5 | Ep. 48

Erin Jowett

The four weeks between Thanksgiving and Christmas can feel like one long, blurry Tuesday—and this is exactly why I call them “The Lost Weeks.”


 Work feels impossible to focus on. Your brain is juggling 47 holiday to-dos. You’re running between grocery stores, school events, gift shopping, and last-minute deadlines… and the next thing you know, you’re telling yourself, “Whatever. I’ll just get back on track in January.”

But here’s the truth:
 These four weeks hold 90 meals, dozens of decision points, and a huge opportunity to maintain your confidence, energy, and fat loss momentum—without feeling deprived or overwhelmed.

In this week’s episode of the Healthy Holiday Series, I teach you how to shift from holiday haze into Holiday Flow—a mindset and strategy that helps you stay grounded, aligned, and consistent even when life feels chaotic. You’ll learn:

✨ Why the “Lost Weeks” trigger overwhelm and emotional tension
 ✨ The two common reactions that sabotage fat loss during December
 ✨ How to use my Stick to the Schedule, Reduce the Scope framework
✨ Simple, doable strategies to stay connected to your goals
✨ How to enjoy the season without abandoning yourself

This episode is your December reset button—a grounding reminder that you don’t need perfection, you just need flow.


 Come learn how to navigate the busiest, most tempting month of the year while still honoring your health, your energy, and your long-term goals.
