The Livy Method Podcast - Back on Track Is Not a Loophole

Episode Date: June 29, 2026

Gina's traveling, so program managers Kim and Odette are taking the wheel and came prepared. They get into one of the most misunderstood tools in the Livy Method: Back on Track. It's not a free pass. ...It's not a punishment. And it's definitely not something you trigger every Monday after a weekend of snacks. It's a feeling and knowing the difference changes everything. Kim and Odette break down what Back on Track actually is, when to use it (and when not to), why the scale is the wrong signal to follow, and how this tool shifts when you move into maintenance. They also get into the No Snack Challenge debrief, how to navigate Canada Day and the 4th of July without derailing your progress, and why the end of the program isn't the end of your journey.This episode aligns with Day 71 of our Spring 2026 weight loss program.

Starting point is 00:00:00 I'm going to be honest with you, this podcast is unapologetically a hot mess because that is what midlife feels like sometimes. Why, though? And how do we make it better? Do we all just need facelifts and gLP ones? I mean, let's talk about it. No bullshit, no wellness wankery here because we're trying to make real change and change is hard. But we're in this together. Welcome to the Living Method podcast.
Starting point is 00:00:25 Oh, they are meant to live. And so I went and wrote a book about it. It's called Live Lighter. And starting on June 28th to July 5th, Indigo is going to add it to its most anticipated Canadian titles. And you can pick it up for 30% off. It doesn't actually hit the shelves until September 8th. And when it does look out, because I want this book to not only be a gift to you or a book that you gift to someone else in your life, I want it to be a whole movement because I don't know about you, but I'm ready to change.
Starting point is 00:00:54 And everything in this book is everything that I've learned from helping hundreds of thousands of women make change. including myself. So if you want to pick up your copy and pre-order it today, go to indigo.ca. Well, good morning, everyone. Um, as you guys can see, Gina's not here. Uh, Gina has taken off to Prince of Rhode Island for the week. And so, but I am. I have, uh, come out to Ontario, Odette and Bobby and I decided to surprise Gina and Tony and Sonia with a little trip out. So to payback for that, I do have to go live for Gina today while she's away and Odette decided to join me. So I'm so excited to see you guys here. Happy Monday. Happy day 71 of the program. And happy, happy day after the weekend of the No Snack Challenge. Yeah, we want to get into that.
Starting point is 00:01:53 Yeah. So I know a bunch of you have done the three-day no snack challenge with us. Mixed reviews on how people did. Some people crushed it. And it was just, what you guys needed to kick off no snacking because I find the weekends are the hardest. Like I'll do good all week and then the weekend comes and I'm like, oh, no, I'm having snacks. Yeah. And I think this collective of the whole community doing it together, you know, knowing that you're not doing it on your own, that it's something that you have to sit down and think about, you know that your community here is also doing it with you. You have the same struggles. You have the same habits that we're trying to kick. So doing this challenge together, I think, is
Starting point is 00:02:30 a great way to feel supported and know that your community is doing it with you. Yeah, it's a little bit like you feel like, yeah, I'm not just doing this for myself. I'm doing it for everyone and we're going to be strong together. That being said, a few people probably had the same kind of weekend that we had. You know, Odette and I had plans all weekend. We were together. We haven't seen each other since last September. So we did not go all in to the no snack challenge. We might have had some cocktails and some little chippies along the way. But I think that's what life is about, too. Like this was a weekend we were together. If it was a weekend when we weren't together, I probably would have crushed it.
Starting point is 00:03:07 But because I was with my work besting, we kind of decided to have the little bits and bites. And that's okay too. I'm going to crush it this week. As soon as I get home today, I'm going to be like, nope, no stacks. We're drinking tea tonight. We're going for a walk. Yeah, and I think that's something to be said. I want to introduce myself first.
Starting point is 00:03:23 Oh, we did here. Yes. This is Odette. So hi, everyone. So my name is Odette. So if we haven't met, I am so excited to get started. I'm the manager of the maintenance and mindfulness group where, of course, we run the maintenance program where we know you're all going to be after you hit those goals. So speaking of what Kim just said about, what were you just saying?
Starting point is 00:03:46 About, yeah, about these challenges and these habits and overcoming them. We often say in the maintenance program too. Sorry, one second. We're still working through these habits. We're still working through these habits. you know, solidifying these routines. And life is meant to be lived. We know that there's going to be time when you're going to rock the program, you're going, all of your habits and routines are going to fall into place, but you're going to have events. You're going to have weekends away.
Starting point is 00:04:16 You're going to have these times when you are going to want to indulge and have fun and enjoy, you know, snacks and bits and bites that are around you. But I think the important part is to remember that this one weekend, like you just know, you're going to crush it when you get home. So this one weekend is not going to derail everything that you've learned or everything that you have accomplished up till now. And I think that's what it's about. It's about learning how to live your life. Of course, when we're just starting in this weight loss routine, you know, we're only in week 10. We're just still trying to reach our goals. We want to be as consistent as possible. But we also want to remember that these weekends are going to happen. These times are going to happen.
Starting point is 00:04:57 So maybe the snack challenge if it didn't go well this weekend for you, that you can, you know, choose three days this week and be able to implement it and do it that way. Yeah, I did notice in the comments. There's a few people that had like graduations, birthday parties, things like that going on. Maybe this wasn't the most convenient weekend for you to do it because you already had pre-planned stuff and that's okay. We're actually probably going to do it again before the group ends. Yeah. Like we'll do maybe like a little midweek challenge near the end or something where we can try it again and see where people are at in. like week 12 or something.
Starting point is 00:05:28 Yeah. And I think doing a midweek challenge would be great because then you can, it can actually bring some insight into how you handle your weekends versus how you handle the week. Yeah. I know for me, doing what I need to do during the week feels a little bit easier because my routine is set. I'm in a familiar environment.
Starting point is 00:05:46 Chances are I don't have as many events going on. So during the week, I'm able to follow through. And then the weekend comes. And then oftentimes that's when you see your routine shifts a bit where you know, the plans that you had maybe don't go as planned or new plans, you know, um, cop up. And it's really, it'll be really interesting to see that difference between how the week goal versus how the weekend goes. Because the weekend is still part of the week. You know,
Starting point is 00:06:11 it's like, oh, it's Friday, it's Friday. But Saturday and Sunday are still part of that week. So it's important to see, you know, that consistency. How do you handle the week? And then how do you handle the weekend? I think it's easy to be like, oh, it's the weekend. It's a free for all. You know, I can, I can always get back on track, which I know we're going to, talk about. You always get back on track come Monday, but it's, I think it'd be interesting to see the comparison versus doing a challenge during the week versus doing it in that. Well, yeah, different challenges are going to pop up. Like maybe during the week when you're following the program, snacks aside, maybe you're not as consistent with your water, maybe you are not hitting all your
Starting point is 00:06:46 meals and snacks because work gets busy. Your breaks don't line up with it or, you know, your kids have got activities or busy and things like that. So I think we all, there's, like, we say the weekends can be challenging, but every day has its own set of challenges and how we overcome them is sort of how we are going to move forward. We are going to talk about back on track. You guys have questions, load them up. Odette's supposed to be checking them, but she's not scrolling through the questions right now. Get back to it. If you guys don't like the answers we have for your questions today, remember June is doing the Q&A tonight, so you might get something different from her if you come back and join us at 7 p.m. So back on track, back on track is the technique. We just
Starting point is 00:07:26 chair to post today, you guys check it out, ask any questions you have in Livy AI or in the group, if you have anything. But this is the technique where when you have gone off the rails and you are feeling like you're off track, you're feeling heavy, you're feeling like you've kind of done a number on yourself over the course of a few days while you were away or just weren't being consistent, you go back to the basic food plan. So now that we've revamped the food plan and we have our next week coming up next week, we're not going back to that basic food. plan as a set strict strict food plan this is the technique you're going to use when you feel like you've gone off the rails and this is a feeling this isn't like in
Starting point is 00:08:05 your head I feel like oh I really blew it this weekend if you feel great you don't need to go back on track you can just pick up where you left off it's where you actually feel like you're feeling heavy you're feeling bloated maybe you know you ate a bunch of things that your body no longer digest as well so you're feeling that heaviness your weight might be up but sometimes you can feel often your weight's not up at all. And other times you might have like be feeling great and your weight is up. So it's got nothing to really do with the scale. Like yes, it can calm your body down to the scale goes back down. But you don't want to automatically assume that's going to be the result because you might
Starting point is 00:08:41 be back on track. Your body might be back into the routine. But the scale is not quite there yet. As you know from what we've talked about before, you know, earlier in this group, the scale can take a few days to catch up. So you want to hit all of those meals and snacks. You're going to start with your protein breakfast. You're going to have your fruit on its own fruit snack. You're going to have veggies as the star at lunch. You're going to have that veg snack with or without the healthy fats of like dip cheese nuts, whatever, your nut and seed snack. And then you're going to have your dinner where protein is the star. You're going to do this for as many days as it takes for you to feel like you are back on track. That could be one day. It might be three days. So you just really
Starting point is 00:09:19 want to get, how you feel. Now this is where Odette comes in and is perfect that she's the guest here because while this might not be an issue for you while you're following the weight loss program, when you're maintaining your weight, this is actually how you can kind of check yourself before you wreck yourself. If you feel like you're going off the rails, you've been maintaining your weight for a while, life gets a way on you. Back on track is what you have in your back top pocket. Yeah, I mean, it's so, it's the basic food plan is such a familiar calm place for the body. It can, it almost, it's like, it can almost feel second nature after doing it for, you know, up to nine weeks, 10 weeks when you include prep week. It's this routine. It's this structure.
Starting point is 00:09:58 Your body knows what to expect. Okay, I know what I'm getting for breakfast, snack, lunch, snack, snack, dinner. I know it's coming. It's going to help it just calm down. And again, just focusing on those nutrient dense food. Maybe it's having a bit more leafy greens. It's going to help your digestion. Just start working a little bit better after you put maybe some foods in there that don't move through quite as quickly. So it really is this calm place. And as Kim said, when you're trying to maintain your weight and you're just out there living your life it you know you can find yourself um indulging or um having you know life is happening going to more vans doing more things and you're and you're going instead of having that i need to start over mindset what have i done i need to um you know
Starting point is 00:10:40 have this fresh start again no you just need to go back on track you just need to take your body back to a familiar place get back to the basics and this is almost like um it's almost like a snowball effect So once you start, you know, going back to that basic food plan for a few days to get back on track, then you're going to think, oh, yeah, I'm going to focus on my hydration. I'm going to focus working, getting sub-movement, and I'm going to focus on my sleep again. So that basic food plan really can be the catalyst that jumping off point to really bring all those back habits back into routine again and help you just start feeling better. What have you, like, do people use back on track a lot when they're in maintenance?
Starting point is 00:11:18 What's your experience you've learned from the numbers and? maintenance. Yeah. So when you're on the maintenance program proper specifically, we say to try to use back on track as little as possible. You don't want to have those opportunities where you're using back on track as your loophole or as your crutch where you're saying, oh, I can do this because on Monday I can go back on track. I can indulge because I can always go back on track because then it becomes not a tool, then that becomes your norm. And so that's where you want to, you know, later on, if you've implemented a few times, you want to make sure that you are using back on track at the right time for the right reason. It's not, like I said, that crutch
Starting point is 00:12:01 in your back pocket or that tool that you're going to rely on because then you're just constantly going back on track. So in the beginning, when you're on the maintenance program, we want your body to feel calm. We want you to feel settled. We want you to feel that it's in this familiar place. And that means just, you know, status quo following the program as it's laid out. But then when you're beyond the program and you are out there, you're living this personalized way, back on track is this tool that you can use. It's there for you. It should be used, but it shouldn't be the loophole or the reason to just let all those old habits come back in. Because then that starts to become your norm. And all of these new habits you've created are not the norm. Yeah. And I see there's a great question from, oh, it bumped up. Cindy was saying, I don't see it now. Oh, where you go, what if you've just been eating something after dinner? It keeps on popping that you shouldn't. be. This is not just that one snack. If that is what your problem, your problem is not a problem.
Starting point is 00:12:55 If that's what you've been doing is you've been just having that one after dinner snack, really the best way to kind of overcome that is to get out of the habit of doing that. One little snack after dinner, one off plan meal. If you've got one meal that comes up that you kind of went off the rails, it was like a birthday dinner and stuff. All you need to do next day, drink some water or right after the meal, drink some extra water, get in some extra extra leafy greens, make sure that you're getting some good rest in and keep going with what you're doing. So you don't need to do it. But if you've been doing that every night, the problem's not going back on track because you're following the food plan and you're in a good consistent schedule
Starting point is 00:13:33 during the day. It's really trying to break that habit of eating, you know, whatever it is after dinner, that's the indulgent. That's where that, you know, the challenge we just did comes in, making sure that you're making your meals nutrient rich, making sure that you're staying on top of your water during the day. If it is a nutrient thing where you're craving something or you feel like you need something or you really feel like you're hungry after dinner, think about what you're doing during the day or it could be the habit where you just need to maybe try replacing it with a different habit for a little bit until you get out of the habit. But yeah, it's really not for just that one meal or snack. You don't need to do a big overhaul. It's for really when you feel like a lot of people
Starting point is 00:14:10 will go back on track after they've gone away. You know, you go to an all-inclusive or on a cruise or you're going to stay with family and they've been in charge of the meals and stuff and you're not eating your regular routine for more than a day and you start to feel off. So yeah, it's just the afternoon snack. That's sort of like a, I don't want to see it's a simple fix. It's, it's not simple to break those habits that have been ingrained to you for years and years and years, but that's sort of more a focus where you really just need to dig into that specific habit or behavior that you're doing. Yeah. And I'm just, yeah, I'm reading, I've been focused on this comment from Connie and she says, sometimes I feel like there's so much to do and then in the
Starting point is 00:14:50 end I don't do anything. And this can also be a place where back on track could be exactly what you need. So it's just getting to the basics. So you can't, you know, I'm just going through the weekend, going through the motion, going through the activities. There's so much I have to think about asking those four steps of mindful eating, you know, doing the tweak, doing the revamp, doing all of that. maybe it's just coming back to the basics for a day or two just to reset so you don't have to think about anything. I mean, if there's if there's one thing you can think about or if you feel like you only have the capacity to think about one thing, have it be that basic food plan, right? Have it be that basic food plan. Come back to there. Get yourself settled. It's, it really is just about getting back on
Starting point is 00:15:35 track. It's exactly what it sounds like, just getting back to where you feel comfortable, where you feel like you have enough capacity to follow through. And that, like I said, can often be that snowball where you're like, okay, I'm feeling like I'm back on track. Now I'm going to jump back into the tweak. Now I'm going to start focusing on my water again. I'm going to start focusing on my sleep, my movement, whatever it might be. So I get it.
Starting point is 00:15:55 I get it. I can feel like there's so much to do and you don't know where to start so you don't do anything. And that can be also like a protection mechanism, you know, like you want to make sure that you're protecting yourself and your mindset as well. sometimes it's just about you know focusing on one thing and if that one thing is the basic food plan let that be it until you feel until you feel ready again yeah and if you're new to the program and this is your first time that basic food plan might not be as ingrained as somebody who's done the program a few times or somebody who's in maintenance that's been following along for a few years that's very sort of automatic if you're not at that automatic part yet you will get there you will get to the part where it's just easy to just check in with yourself for those meals. and snack and it won't just calm your body as we say it will actually calm your mind too to be like okay i know what i'm doing here i don't have to think about a tweak i've been you know i know what this is this basic food plan and it can really lift off if you're at capacity it can really like take that
Starting point is 00:16:54 sort of strain off your mind of having to think about how you're going to maximize that you know the tweak of the week or whatever going back to the basics will get you in that spot where you're like okay i'm here and then when you're feeling like you're like done and you're best back at it and you're calm again, then you can keep going. And, you know, it might be more than three days. But usually, most people tend to find a few days and you're like, oh, okay, yeah, my body knows exactly what's going on now. Yeah. And that's true. And I like what you said earlier about it being a feeling. This comment from Linda here, so she's going back on track as she's just getting back for an amazing trip to Portugal. Like, of course, it was amazing because Portugal's such an
Starting point is 00:17:30 amazing place to be. But it's this feeling, right? So Linda, you're coming back. Maybe you've stepped on the scale, maybe you haven't, but you feel like you need to just start feeling a little bit better. Maybe you're feeling a little bit sluggish because your digestion is off flying. It's always super dehydrating. And so when you get on the scale and maybe it's up, you don't want to think, oh, I need to continue doing back on track. You want to, you want to do it until like Kim said earlier, you just feel better. So you can't automatically assume the scale is going to start going down right away or, you know, you're back on track for two days and then all of this magic is going to happen. you want to make sure that you are just being super consistent, getting hydrated, following that
Starting point is 00:18:11 basic food plan, and going by how you feel exactly. Because if you're waiting for that scale to get back down or get back to where it was before you went away, maybe that can sustain or have you back on track a little bit longer than you need to be. So just go by their feeling. Yeah. And that's one thing. Like the tweak that we're working on, like right now it's the food plan revamp. The tweak is always going to do its job as well. So if your scale has not come, you have, you know, you have to know that when you're following the food plan, that's also meant to bring your scale down. We know that when, sometimes when you go back on track, it'll kick you into detox because you've gotten back to that routine after being off. Your body's like, okay, I'm ready to get this.
Starting point is 00:18:52 One of the signs is that your weight is up. So you don't want to assume because your weight hasn't come back down that your body's not doing what is supposed to be doing. If you're following the food plan and you're making the choices that you know make you feel good, you're going to see the scale, you don't come back down. again after that once it's calmed and that could take a little bit of time. I'm definitely going back on track when I get home tomorrow. Oh man. I'm going to start today. Well, I mean I can start to wait when I get home.
Starting point is 00:19:16 But yeah. I said I had a long day ahead of me before still. You do. Traveling back. Speaking of long days, Gina's got a little bit of a long day. She's had a great weekend. She had, you know, her two besties surprise her. But also she's had her big announcement to make in the group today that
Starting point is 00:19:35 the book that Gina is writing with her, has written with her friends Lynn Knowlton and Norma Tison has actually made it on to Indigo's most anticipated titles of Canadian titles of 2026. And that is amazing and it's amazing news
Starting point is 00:19:53 for Gina and Norma and Lynn. It's also great and amazing news for all of us because that means if you order it off of Amazon you get 30% off this week. So from Indigo, sorry, Indigo. And that's one thing that I wanted to just make sure if you guys want to take advantage of this, this is going to be an amazing deal. But it's also a bit, the book is a bit of a celebration of the community.
Starting point is 00:20:16 Yes, I'm glad you said that. It is a celebration of the community. And, you know, we're all just trying to live our best lives, whether we are, whatever reason we have for wanting to lose weight, whether it's to feel more energetic, whether it's for longevity, whether it's just to look better in our genes. that can be your reason right now too. And I think it's this celebration of just feeling good, living your best life, in your body, in your home, in your mind.
Starting point is 00:20:44 And it really is a celebration of what has been learned through this community. You know, just what the community has pulled together, what the community has been saying that they want, you know, more simplicity, more ease, more just living our best lives. And that really is what this book is all about. Yeah, and I think that's where everyone, wants to end up that end game like yes that end game is maybe our goal weight but why do we want to get to that goal weight what is it because i mean we're you're still you know it's perfectly capable of
Starting point is 00:21:14 being happy and having a great life regardless of what your way at so what is it about this goal that is you know motivating you this weight goal to get there and it's really because you just want to feel good and wake up in the morning and not have to think about it and just live your best life And I think that's what this book is really a celebration of like what we all want to just experience is just living lighter without all of the, you know, extra weight, not just physical weight, but mental weight off of our shoulders. And, you know, just be doing something where we're, you know, not feeling that pressure every day. I just want to read this one comment from Lynette that just came through. So Lynette saying, good morning. Back on track is a strategy I look forward to to to help me.
Starting point is 00:22:01 feel super confident again. We've had two funerals. I'm sorry to hear that, Lynette, lots of emotions and eating away from home, wanting to end strong. And I think that is a mindset that is going to help you end strong. So here you are, after all of that, I mean, something is always going to happen. Something is, life is going to continue, whether it's something super exciting and happy that rocks your routine or whether it's something unfortunate like a funeral or some, or, you know, a loss, grievance that's going to throw you off your routine. I think having that mindset that you can come back, you can finish strong, the community is here to support you.
Starting point is 00:22:39 And you have the tools. I think that's one of the most important things about back on track is that you don't have to think about where do I go from here. You know, I'm getting back from being away. I'm getting back from having to deal with this, to go through this. Where do I go from here? What do I do now? How do I get myself on the right foot?
Starting point is 00:23:00 again or on the right path again or on the path that's right for me. And I think that's where back on track can be that, like I said, that starting point, that jumping point, just come back to the basics, just come back to that place. And it's, it's, you're going to feel less overwhelmed because you don't know where to start. You don't know what to do next. You're not going to fall back in that old diet dialogue of having to restrict or deprive yourself or not eat because you, you know, you're not really sure where to go from here. Where you want to go is to nourish your body, nutrient dense foods, get back to a routine to a place that helps it feel calm and helps you feel calm, helps your mindset feel calm. And then yes, 100% you're going to be able to end strong. We still have
Starting point is 00:23:42 three, like we have week 10, week 11 and week 12. So we still have three full weeks here. We do. And I just want to say too, the with that is ending strong. That's, you know, that's a great goal you want to end strong. But think of it too. like just because we end on July 19th at the end of that three weeks doesn't mean that that's the end for you and that's with people I know we get this is a time when we start to start stressing and looking at that calendar and maybe doing that math where it's like oh we we only have three weeks left and I have only done you know I have only lost this much or I haven't gotten into it yet and we're almost we still have the whole you have the whole summer you have really and you have until it
Starting point is 00:24:23 takes you. It takes what it takes. And if you've hit a roadblock where we're like a bump where you've had something happen that's thrown you off of your routine, just because we have the end date with a 91 program for this live session as July 19th, doesn't mean that that's the end for you and you have to stop. You have as long as you need. And that's one of the great things now that we have the summer club coming for our membership members. And that will be, allow you to kind of continue on. but even through even if you know you're not part of that you can still get into it but you have that summer like think about how you want to lead into the summer so it might not be finishing strong but it might be like heading into the summer strong you might be like starting the break between live sessions strong
Starting point is 00:25:08 not necessarily a finish so you don't just have the three weeks and if it takes you longer than that to get yourself feeling like you were before all these things came up then you know be gentle with yourself take the time that you need and it's it's really about taking care of yourself. It's really about just, you know, doing what you personally need and you may personally not need the same timeline that we have with the program. Yeah. That's exactly right. And it's such a good point about summer club and, you know, we've said this earlier about just wanting to feel our best and live our best lives. And sometimes the summers can make us feel that way that we want to have fun. We want to enjoy our summer. We want to, you know, if we're taking vacations or if we're just
Starting point is 00:25:45 even sitting in our own backyard and enjoying the weather and enjoying the sun, we want to enjoy ourselves. We want to feel our best. And so the summer club is going to be somewhere where you feel supported. No structure. Well, a little bit of structure. A lot more sunshine. And just a place to feel supported, ask your questions, but still enjoy yourself over the summer, be able to live your life in a more personalized way.
Starting point is 00:26:06 It's also a great little gap of time, space of time to test things at a little bit. See how you do off the structure of a program, but still following the principles of the living method. And so yeah, I think that would be my challenge for people for the summer is to, you know, we, we do have people that say like, oh, what am I going to do without this? What am I going to do without this? They think, you know, they think that when the program is not running, they're not going to be able to do it. So while we want to provide the support so that nobody feels like they've been left high and dry,
Starting point is 00:26:37 at the same time, it is a really good opportunity. Maybe don't be so serious. Maybe don't be so hard on yourself. How would if you try to take yourself a little more lightly and just enjoy yourself a little bit more like have fun don't worry about me maybe you don't check in every day in the summer if you have been this group you know maybe it's um an opportunity to see what happens if you don't watch a couple of check in videos or you don't like please come join us we don't want to be by ourselves when we check in our beat live but it's like give yourself permission to do things a little bit
Starting point is 00:27:07 differently to test the waters on how like just living your life while taking care of yourself and feeling your best is because I know sometimes when you're in the middle of a diet people will really kind of stick themselves in a safe zone where you are like, okay, I'm not going to go anywhere, I'm not doing any trips, I have this 91 days, I'm going to put myself in this very controlled environment so I can lose as much as I can. Maybe you take out some of the control in the summer and you enjoy it a little bit more, see what happens if you, you know, not necessarily going off the rails with food, but just with your routine. Like maybe don't be so strict. Like, go out, have some fun. See how many barbecues you can go to where the veggie tray is your
Starting point is 00:27:45 favorite snack there. Yeah. You know, or something like that or no, you know, no bun summer. If you're the hamburger's with the bun, like don't avoid the barbecue because you don't want a bun. Just avoid the bun. You don't have to avoid the whole barbecue. You know, there's lots of ways that you can learn to navigate the summer and see what can be your new normal as well. Yeah. I'm looking for the summer. I mean, just looking outside today. It's a beautiful summer day. Really looking forward to it. Of course, we have later this week, we have Canada day coming up. So that holiday is here in Canada. And then the U.S., I know you're still. celebrating your 4th of July Independence Day. So there's a lot going on this week, a lot of opportunity
Starting point is 00:28:20 to, you know, test things out, see how it goes. If you are going to gatherings and celebrations and your routine is off, you know, how can you have these types of events and celebrations still try and feel your best? And then if you don't feel your best the next day, that's okay too. You know, you can always get back on track with that basic food plan, with some water, with some, you know, extra leafy greens. But this life is meant to be lived. So Canada Day is, coming great opportunity independent state fourth of july is coming another great opportunity and summer vacations in general are coming up so it's a great kickstop kickoff week for for all of that yeah we do have some great stuff coming this week too with you know in addition to the holidays um as i said
