Is 10K Steps & 12-3-30 the SECRET to Beating Hormonal Weight Gain? | Glow Up Journey | Hot Girl Walk

In this episode of The Cultivation Chronicles: Reclaiming Me, I’m kicking off my wellness journey by finally moving my body again—starting with a 10,000 steps a day challenge and then taking on the popular 12-3-30 treadmill workout the following week. This is part of my commitment to reclaiming my identity outside of motherhood, marriage, and the version of me I lost along the way. I'm 40+, premenopausal, and navigating Hashimoto’s, insulin resistance, suspected PCOS, and likely prediabetes—so losing weight and regaining energy isn’t as simple as “just work out and eat better.” These walking challenges aren’t just about burning calories—they’re about showing up for myself in small, consistent ways that help me feel alive again. This vlog includes: Week 1: Walking 10k steps a day challenge Week 2: 12-3-30 treadmill challenge Real talk on chronic fatigue, hormonal weight gain & foot pain Progress, mindset shifts, and grace in the process Let’s grow together—drop a 🌱 in the comments if you’re on your own wellness journey too.
