The Livy Method Podcast - Livy Method Day 71 - Winter 2026

Episode Date: March 16, 2026

In this episode, Gina checks in with members on a Monday morning and reminds them that consistency matters most, especially on the days when motivation is low. She explains why routine and even a little boredom can actually be a sign that healthy habits are becoming automatic, making it easier to keep showing up for yourself despite life’s stressors. Gina also introduces the “Back on Track” approach, a simple return to The Basic Food Plan designed for moments when someone has truly gone off course for several days, emphasizing that it’s a reset tool for bigger indulgences rather than small slips, and reminding listeners that the weekly tweaks remain the most effective way to keep progress moving forward.This is a recording of the Day 71, 9 AM live.

I'm Gina Livy and welcome to the Livy Method podcast. This is where you'll have access to all of the live streams for my 91 day weight loss program. With a combination of daily lives, guest expert interviews, and member stories, there is something new almost every day. Miss the morning live? Want to re-listen to one of our amazing guest experts? Well, this is the place. This podcast is hosted on ACAST, but it's available on all podcast platforms, including the one you're listening to right now, Spotify, Apple, and Amazon music. How are we on?

That's working. My whole system is moving slow today. As am I. My goodness, it's Monday. How are you still with us? Good for you. I know I said this on the check in this morning. Like, honestly, not an easy thing.

Not an easy thing. Keep showing up for yourself as life, you know, just so much going on. You cannot give up. You cannot give up. You have to keep showing up. That is the only. way ever that you are going to reach your goals. Some days it's going to be, you know, so much easier than others. And some are just, you know, you're going to feel like a freaking rock star.

That's how it is. And you want to embrace the days that you feel great and things are going easy. That's where you almost want to dig deeper. So I'm trying to get my iPad to work here. And for some reason it's not working. That's where you're really going to want to dig deeper is the days where you have the energy for that. And then the times that you don't, like that's not the, it's an opportunity to learn after the fact, but in the moment, that's not when you're going to like, it's like trying to learn how to swim when you're drowning. You're not, you know, you need a life raft. You know, no one's going to learn how to swim while they're drowning.

And so that's why this is making all these things automatic. It may seem monotonous. Like, oh my God, same shit over and over and over again. That's why I love the tweaks, but then at the same time, people get a nerve by the tweaks because they get used to what's familiar. So if things start to feel routine for you, And that's affecting your motivation. Good. Good, because things are so routine that it's just feeling super automatic, right? Let me just, I don't know why my iPad is not working. It's stuck on like

five days ago. Okay, there we go. There we go. So you want things to feel routine. You want to be bored. Bortem is, like, is good for routine, but then what is keeping you motivated? That's the thing, right? That's why we're going to try to, like, you know, we've got some guest experts. Cynthia Lois is going to join us on Friday. We're going to talk about finding joy, pleasure, building on the conversation that we had a couple weeks ago. We have Greg from Bathoria. I'm talking about self-care, which is interesting. I had one of our members struggle, who is an absolute complete rock star talking about rock stars. And she's struggling and trying to get back at it. Of course, that's what we're talking about today, getting back at it, which is what we have

back on track for you. And, you know, you know, know, she's had a bit of a, she's had a bit of, I follow her on social media, so I know she's been through a lot, so she's been through a lot emotionally and a lot going on there. And sometimes the motivation can't be just trying to eat better and exercise to lose weight. A faster, more effective approach is like self-care. Maybe what I need is not to do more hard workouts. Maybe I need to do more breathing, stretching. Maybe I need to do more self-care taking time for myself, as opposed to stressing about making sure my food is on point perfectly. Right?

And this is where people underestimate stress. They underestimate what's going on in sleep, of course. Of course your food and your movement is really important. But it's like figuring out where you're at and what you need. Really, that's what this whole thing is about. That's what this whole thing is about. Okay, I've got a couple. I've got a couple that Kim sent me today.

So we're introducing back on track, which is a technique that is going to be more valuable to you once you've lost your weight and reached your goals. and you're in maintenance, and you're not even in maintenance anymore. You're just living your life, right? So, for example, this weekend, I was here, there everywhere, had some drinks, had indulged in food, whatever. Actually, I'm actually feeling pretty good besides the fact that my voice is off for whatever reason.

I'm actually feeling pretty good. Probably because I went to a dance party on Friday night and danced for like four hours. I'm actually feeling, now, if I had felt like crap, my weight was way up and I felt really awful. This is where I could implement a couple days of back on track. Back on track is that original food plan, which is just a no-brainer for you, especially if you've done a few programs, right? It's a no-brainer for you. It's easy, peasy. It helps kind of calm down the body. So I don't have to do much thinking. I just kind of like fall into that routine. I'm also making sure that I'm doing other things to help myself get back at it. And then once I feel like

I feel better or in the more of the mind frame, I can get back to following the tweaks. Now, obviously we have like three weeks left with the program. Feel free to use back on track. But you shouldn't really need back on track. Back on track is for where you really, like you know, it's not for having some chips. It's not for when your weight is up. It's not for, you know, like burgers and fries at lunch. It's for when you like do all the things.

Like you have all the donuts and the foods and the drinks and you stay up late and all the chips and the binge eating. And this goes on for days and days and days. days, that's when you're going to need back on track. It is not for, I had some chips on the weekend, my weight is up today. I should do back on track. The tweaks are always, always, always, always, always, always most effective. The tweaks are always most effective. I want to just be very clear on that, especially as we start to build on the program from where we're at. There's a rhyme and reason for every of it, all of it, but you can definitely use back on track if you need it. Now, this is sort of more for, once you lose your weight, you're going to go want to give your body

time to adjust to your new weight. So that's when maintenance, you do a round of the maintenance program to help solidify your weight. And then when you feel ready to move on and just live your life, wake up, look, good, feel good, just trust that you know, when to eat, what, eat, how much team. We're going to start introducing that how you do that next week with next week's week. That's sort of where if you feel like you go away on vacation or, you know, whatever the body would just, that routine is really great. So that's kind of your like, life gets chaotic, your weight starts to go up. You're kind of like you're feeling it. You know, what's happening. Let's implement back on track. So that's what it's therefore very effective.

We have had people in maintenance for like years and years and years who that's what they do. They just live their life and, um, you know, something happens. Life happens. Vacations happen. And then they use back on track and then they're back. They're back. You do not gain weight. You do not gain weight and not notice. That's why mindfulness is so important. Right? Like how'd you gain 20 pounds back and not notice? At what point did you know, and then not do anything about it. That's the reality. That's the reality, right?

So now you have something that you can do about it. It's hard to get back on track sometimes when you go off the rails because it's uncomfortable. Because when you start the program, think about this. When you start the program, you're motivated, you got a fresh start. There's so many things helping you to be motivated to make time. You're making time. It's important to you. You want to do it right.

There's that pressure of that. fresh start, you want to get it, get on it. And you don't have that at week 10 in the program. Right? You don't have that same kind of like fresh start. This is why a lot of times people, that's why I said this morning, don't future trip. A lot of times people will future trip and be like, oh, well, I've just done to lose my weight and what if this and what if that and whatever. Let me just wait until the next April program starts. And you don't want to do that. You want to, you want to get back on. I'm not going to lie, the switch up has thrown me a bit. I did not realize how conditioned I was to eating heavier protein at dinner. Moving forward,

end over it. It's the nuance, right? Isn't that so great how in tune you are that you notice the difference? This is great. This is amazing. And there's been pros and benefits to each one, right? The benefit for protein and fat, you feel more satisfied heading into dinner, heading into your evening routine. There's a benefit for that. And there's also a benefit for having the veggies, focusing on your your carb, which is your veg with where we're at in the program. It's a little nuance. That's what you're learning here to get, just each layer helps She get even more in tune than you were before. That's what that's about.

Getting to know yourself and understand yourself so well that you're not going to gain 20 pounds back because you're going to notice. You're going to know and you're going to know what to do. Right. You're going to know exactly, am I actually hungry or am I just eating out a habit or I'm stressed or I'm whatever routine. What's going on? What am I hungry for?

Like when I read a menu, right? I'm like, what am I hungry? What feels like the best thing for me? What feels like what I want? Not in my mind what I would like. What do I feel like having? If I'm going to have breakfast this morning, what do I feel like eating today?

I can go through it. Is it protein eggs thing, thing, thing, thing. Oh, this is what I feel like. Chances are what you feel like is what your body would like. And people are like, oh my God, my body is going to feel like donuts. No, it won't. Your body never wanted donuts. And if that's a brain thing, you donuts,

sweet things, things that you eat that make you feel like crap is a brain thing. This is about getting into your body and understanding. And the same thing with how much you eat. Cleaning your plate, brain thing, right? Knowing the exact moment when you've had enough to feel satisfied, that's a body thing, that's a body thing. I had a few handfuls of the popcorn at the sense game last night. I was very rudely reminded at 4.30 this morning why I stopped eating it.

Yeah, right? Yeah, you get to notice what food works for you and what does it. And that doesn't mean that you don't eat it because you could have a really enjoyed that popcorn in the moment, knowing you're going to regret it later. The problem is, later you don't want to get on yourself, feel like, oh my God, I ruined everything. I'm not going to reach my goal. Now I've got to stir myself, deprive myself, and then down that vicious spiral. That's the thing, too. It's like, I drank this weekend, right? God, I don't even know. I did so many things this weekend. It was so unlike me. But drinking wine, which I, you know,

had too much of, of course, because when I started it, I was like, oh, I don't want to have a glass of wine because I'm just going to, you know, but it's going to be an early night. So I went to a thing on Thursday and I'm like, it was a women's networking thing and there was wine. I'm like, you know what? I'll just staying at the hotel by myself. So Tony wasn't there and this event was at like five. So I'm like, I'm going to be, I'll have one glass of wine and I'll be back in my hotel room bed at like 8 o'clock, 8.30, the latest and fine. No. No, that's how how it went. I had a glass of wine. Then I had another. Then I ended up at the, Jay's game. I thought I was going to a Raptor's game. Someone offered us tickets to the Raptors

end up being the Leafs, no offense to the Leafs, but I'm more of a basketball fan. We went to the leaves, the seats were insane, and then we had to have wine because it was great seats, and then I feel like garbage the whole weekend, but whatever. But it makes me depressed. It makes me depressed, and whether it's the actual wine, just feeling tired because I didn't get the sleep I was getting, I was getting used to getting, whether it was like the shame of it all, of like I not only did I drink, but I drank too much. Like it makes me feel depressed, right? So this is where you have to understand.

And there's nothing wrong. Would I do it again? Yes. I would do it again. But there's also that awareness of physically how I feel, also mentally how I feel. And I can't get into that, that like downer loop. I can't get in that downer loop because of that. That's the awareness.

You got to know when you're in that down, downer loop. And you're going to be like, okay, that was your choice. Suck it up, Buttercup. Let's go. Every time you feel yourself going into that mindset. So today, I am tired, and my brain has been going, and I know any choice I made to make today is going to come from a place that just, so I'm not going to make any decisions today.

And I'm going to just be kind with myself as things hit me, whatever. and if I feel like I don't have the right words, don't have the right choice to make, I'm just going to go with it. So that's that deeper level of understanding about yourself, you know? Hi, Simone, any tips for staying in the routine as much as possible when you're actively leaving your partner of 10 years and trying to find a new place to live at the same time in this market? I've done it before and gain weight back.

I'm determined not to do that again, but it sucks. I'm angry and I'm sad. Just want to eat my feelings, but I know I can't. I can't. Yeah. Yeah. First of all, congratulations on getting out of this relationship. I'm like a, I think change is good.

I know it's incredibly hard, incredibly hard. As you know, I was in a relationship and marriage for 20 years and then had to, at the time when my marriage broke up, my car was repossessed, months behind on rent. My husband had gotten sick. His personality had changed and he couldn't even help me take care of the kids. So I get this for you. One of the things I would suggest to you is make sure you lean on friends. And I know this is probably not a routine thing, but I was so, I'm a tourist maybe, so I can do it all.

I can do it myself. The thing is that people who love you and people you may not even realize like you want to help you out. They want to help you out. So I, you know, I went to a friend and asked for a job, pretty much begged. I was like, listen, you won't be disappointed. Give me this opportunity. Give me this chance.

Whatever. even the first house that I rented, because my credit was shit. First house I rented, I said, listen, guy, like I, you know, here's the truth of my life. This is what's going on. And, you know, I promise you that I will pay this rent and I will stay. Even though it shows that I cannot, I just was really real and everything aligned for me. I did a lot of work. I watched the secret a million times because, and that made seem like woohoo to you.

The secret was all about manifesting, but it wasn't that for me. It was keeping me in a positive mindset to know at a second your whole life can change and be completely different. So that was like that was the thing for me. And I don't know what that is for you. Listening to a, like I don't know if it's a person or a book or like it was to me it was a mantra and I would every time I started to feel, oh, I can't do this. It's not going to work out because I really believe in making that phone call.

You think of doing that thing, do that thing. That's the universe is friendly. and it's helping you. And if you just are open to that, because sometimes if you see it all is doom and gloom, all you see is doom and gloom, right? So I think that's really important part of that. And reach out and ask people for help.

The other thing, like you're doing now, the other thing I would say is that this is kind of like, you know better situation, and you have to like fight against what might feel safe for you. The cookies, the drinking, the, you know, that commiserating, the, you know, all of that. So you've got to do it differently. You know better now. This reminds me in the time, and you might have heard this when my son was in the hospital. My son was sick at sick kids. It was during the pandemic, and you could not get in there if you

were sick. And you should, like, your eyes were red. You just had a bit of a sore throat and a head. You're not getting in there. You were not getting in there. And so in order to make sure that I could spend the time with my son during the day and the kid, my son's dad stayed there during the I had to make sure I was healthy. I had a lot going on at the time, and I just wanted to drink wine. I actually thought about bringing wine in with me. I did not feel like eating at all. I didn't want to eat.

I didn't want to eat anything. But what I would do is make sure that I drank the water, which was God awful. I would make myself drink the water. I would go and grab myself healthy snacks. So I would get some fruit, vegetables, I can't remember why I couldn't bring my own. I don't know if it could bring them in or couldn't bring them in. Things were pretty tight back then.

So I was so hard. That's the thing. If I think about my son in the hospital, I mean, he was such an asshole to me, a little perk. He was also going through a really hard situation. But oh, my God. He was so horrible. He was like the worst sick person ever. But what I remember about, and I would go live.

I was running a company and I had to go live. So I would go live from the hotel, from the hotel, far from. from the from the his room but what I remember is how hard not how hard it was for him not how scared I was as a mom how hard it was to take care of myself when that was going on that was like that was really difficult so here's the thing it's going to be work for you and you're going to have to be really freaking intentional about it and it might not be for the sake of losing weight because you will anyway all these things are going to help you lose weight but it's to keep you going keep you strong physically, mentally, right?

Like, you get me drinking everyone every night and feeling depressed. And then waking up feeling bloated and gross and oh my God, I'm just like a failure and life sucks. I'm never going to get things done. Like, you know, you know that feeling, right? That punishment, that thing, that just physically and mentally how it makes you feel. So I think it comes down to your mindset on this. You have to be intentional. I love that you ask this question.

You know that it's going to be challenging, right? And I love that you're bringing a bit of humor to it. I love that about that. So really being intentional about what this season of life is for you. And also don't forget to the excited parts. So my mom, I remember when my mom said something really profound for me. I was like, how am I going to do this on my own? She's like, oh my God, you know, you have been doing it already on your own, but with this person attached to you that was not making life easy. And she's like, I know the situation is bad and she doesn't wish anything bad on my ex-husband. And she's like, now you get to do it your way on your own without this weight attached to you. And that got me really excited.

I got to make the decisions, right? Like I was like, okay, I can do this. So yeah, that's why I'm kind of like optimistic. People lose their job. I'm like, great. What are you going to do now? Like, what's the? And I think it's really hard.

I'm not, you know, I'm trying to be flippant. It's really hard to be in that mindset. But I've been around alive long enough. when bad things happen, not all bad things, but a lot of times what you think is a bad thing. The worst thing is people passing, obviously. I don't understand the reason for that. I don't get it. I think it's stupid. I don't know. I also understand we can't be alive forever. But, you know, when things like you lose your job, relationships, think like, thank God my relationship ended, because I am so in love with Tony and he's the most amazing man and I love his family and it's just,

oh my God. I feel bad saying that sometimes around the kids, but I'm, you know, Thank God that happened to. Thank God I got fired from, you know, the job I got fired from. Thank God that happened to me. And I'm old enough to, I'm old enough now to see that. And I don't know how old you are, Simone, but I don't know. I just, I'm old enough now to know that, but it's very difficult to be in that mindset of, of like, getting through that in a way that you're not trashing yourself. Right. So be really intentional. Just feel like, okay, fine. I'm not, I'm not letting, I'm not letting this take me down and make a plan for yourself and make some non-negotiables, non-negotiables for yourself, right? So envision your life, and I think you should envision your life, and this goes for anyone trying to reach any goal, right? Not just coming out of a relationship. What do you want a month from now, six months from now? Where do you want to be living? How do you want to feel when you wake up in the morning? Right? Like how do you, like, how are you going to navigate your day? What's going to feel like to go to your closet and you're going to feel your best or it's going to be summertime or you're going to be in your own

place or it's going to be quiet or you're not going to have anyone ragging on you or whatever that might be, you've got to really visualize the life that you would like to live and then design that life. And part of designing that life is not trashing yourself along the way. Right. You want to reach your goals on top of that. You know you can easily gain weight back, whatever. Visualize that part of it and design a plan that's going to get you there. And that's why I love about the living method. It's about motivation in a sense of community support, learning new things. And this is what the food plan does. This is what the food. I forget who mentioned the food plan is throw them off a little bit.

Barbara, I'm not going to lie, the switch has thrown me up. The switch is meant to life switches things up all the time. It's getting about things differently, you know. You're going to be great. So just be intentional and you hold your ass accountable. You know, right? You know. Most of the time we just don't take that pause and take that moment to be like,

all right, I can, and this is a big one that I do with one. How am I going to feel the next day? If I choose to do this thing, I know I'm going to feel like this. You got to do this before you're in it. Two glasses into wine. That's not the time. But before, you know, you're going to be at the grocery store. You're buying those chips.

You're doing that thing. You already know you're going to do it. You already know. That's where you've got to be like, hey, whoa. How am I going to feel? And, you know, I also love this idea of a pity. party has come up. A couple of people have mentioned to me this pity party that they're in.

I do pity parties too, but I put a time limit on them. I put a time limit on them. I'm like, okay, I'm going to, I'm going to pity party this out. I'm going to be sad. I'm going to be mad. I'm going to be whatever. I'm going to, but I'm going to give myself today, tomorrow, three days, whatever that might be.

And then I'm going to like, I got to turn the page on that. I got to turn the page on that, right? So, yes, I don't, hopefully that helped. Hopefully that helped. Oh, no. Elsie. Lying in the hospital waiting for emergency surgery slipped and fell yesterday and broke my shoulder. I just got in the go-ahed to start working out again because of a torn lingerment in my elbow. And then I had also twisted my knee three weeks ago and it just healed. I think we can safely say 2026 has not been my year so far. I think this would come under changing circumstances in my life. Yes, it would. Also, hospital does not care about eating healthy. I've had more carbs and sugar in the last day than all month.

They don't. You don't want to end up in the hospital. Like you don't, right? Oh my goodness. I don't know what the universe is trying to tell you on this one. Sorry. I relate. This is how sometimes life, when this is where it rains at pores, this is a rains at poor situation. I am sending you love. I'm wrapping you in a big hug. Oh my goodness. I'm giving you all the strength. Day by day. Day by day. Day by day. Day by day. I hope I'll be thinking about you, praying for speedy recovery from you. You know, it's interesting. We met some kind of new friends on the weekend for dinner and we were talking about this

kind of like, you know what you want in life. And then life is kind of like guiding you towards that life. And sometimes you don't know. It could be someone that you meet because this happened or you didn't do something because this happened that maybe you wouldn't have liked the outcome of that. Right. Sometimes weird. Sometimes I think weird shit happens that, oh my goodness, again, wow, if that hadn't happened, then this part of my life wouldn't have happened ever, you know? Life is weird. Oh my gosh, girl. My goodness. I'm going to feel this tomorrow. Yeah. How am I going to feel tomorrow? That's why I do how am I, that's how am I going to feel? How do I, that's how would I feel if I, how would I feel if I do that? And it's usually the one that feels like, okay, I definitely know.

It's just we never take the time. We never take the time to actually like sit in our, our feels. I don't just mean in our brain, in our body and be like, what is the right choice for me? Because you know what's happening right now? Every time I mention wine, my whole stomach is like, no, no. My body's like, no. I'm feeling, I mean, I had it on Thursday and I could care less if I ever drink it again. That's how shit I still feel.

went for breakfast on family on Saturday, ate some things not on plan, but with the mindfulness I have developed throughout this plan, help me with not overeating the delicious potatoes toast with my eggs and bacon. I didn't feel crappy after and added an extra workout. This is that, right? Like, you still want to be able to indulge in good food, but also be able to, like, and people don't do that.

Right? They feel so bad about eating it the whole time. From the minute they order it. Should I order that? Should I, oh, my God, I ordered it. Okay. I came, I'll just have a few bites. No, I won't. We didn't eat the old thing. Ruined everything. Might as well eat it all. And then there's a big snow. Well, I had crappy breakfast this morning. Might as well eat this. Miles will eat that. And then the snowball happens. You want to get to a point where you went, like, get excited about food. How amazing it is that we can afford to go out and get food. How amazing it is that we have food on our table. Right? Like, think about that. And sometimes we just eat it with this guilt and all these thoughts and feels. So go out and enjoy in the environment that you're eating in. I went for a dinner. with friends at 6 o'clock so we could be home at 8.30 and we were still sitting at the table at 11.

It was the conversation. The food was there and it was so delicious. But the whole time it was like indulging in conversation, indulging in the environment. This restaurant was so cool. It was like like an old steakhouse that was like, I don't know, it was quaint. It was like hard to explain. It had been around since 1959. And it was such a wonderful experience and great company that the food, although delicious was like so not even secondary. And it's about indulging in the conversation and the laughter and the, you know, yes, the food. But when you cut into it,

it is like actually taking time to enjoy it and taste it. So that even when you've had enough, you feel really fulfilled and you've had an opportunity to enjoy this nice meal that was put in front of you. You know, that's where you want to, that's what's so great about this is that's where you want to get to that moment or you feel really content and satisfied with your food,

even though there is food still left on your plate. Now, I ordered the steak. I didn't eat, like, hardly any of it because I already had some onion rings and some oysters, like some other really delicious stuff. I ate it the next day. Tony and I got home last night, fried it up and had it. I'm like, oh, my God, how amazing are we that we brought this home? It was so delicious, you know?

That's where you want to go with that. That's where you want to go with the delicious potatoes and the toast and the bacon and the eggs, you really want to get to a point where you're indulging in all of it, all of it, you know. Yeah, that's where I went the barbarian.

It was, I've never been. I'd never been. Like, you know, we'd been to night in the steakhouses before. It's like one of my favorite dining experiences ever. It was really great.

I'm like, this is my old school, no one took photos of, I took photo, I took a photo of the dessert because it was so delicious. No one was in there taking photos of their food. And I didn't see one person. taking photos of the food.

People coming in, they kind of knew each other. Like the owner was there. He walked around. Like, but not in a like, how's your food today kind of way. Just, gosh, it just reminded me what like, like eating out is about. You know, not a fancy restaurant

where I'm just taking photos of all my food and that's why I'm there missing the whole, everything going on around me. It was really nice. It was really nice. Good morning, everyone. Down in Panama, currently loving this weather, drinking enough water has been a trial because I'm a big girl, 64, and sweat like a horse who's plowing 100 acres and 100 degree weather. That's not it.

It's so hard to be in weather that hot, because this is where summer's coming, when it is that hot, it is so hard to be, you get to a point you cannot drink enough water. You can't, you know what, you want to make sure you get in salt. Add some margaritas in there with a salted rim. You need to get the salt in. Salt is going to help you your body retain the water. That's what you need. Also, I'm jealous. Although I think it's supposed to be, I think it's supposed to be really nice today here.

I think it's supposed to be like plus 12 today. And then it's going to be like minus 12 tomorrow. I do ask myself that question. How will I feel tomorrow if I make this choice day? But unfortunately, that damn in the moment, excitement, enjoyment overshadows the right decision. That's because that's in your brain. why am I hitting myself with a pen? That's because that whole thought process is happening in your brain.

You have to take it a step deeper and go into your body. And at this point, how physically are you going to feel? Because in your, it's like if you drive by Dairy Queen or a Big Mac or whatever, like McDonald's, whatever, and you see a Big Mac on a sign, I say Big Mac because no one ever eats a Big Mac and feels great afterwards. No disrespect to, you know, the company or anything like that. It's delicious. Don't get me wrong.

Delicious. But you're driving along like, oh, how would it, or ice cream, whatever that is, how would I feel if I have that? Your immediate thought is, oh, fun, yummy. Oh, want it. Delicious. But my belly, if I was to actually take a minute and be like, how would I actually physically feel when I eat that?

Before I eat it after I eat. My belly immediately is like, no, please, please do not have that right now. And you can feel it, right? Like you go from your brain into your body and so many people make choices based on your brain when really your intuition, being in tune, even if it's a business decision. Yeah, okay, your brain, but if something isn't sitting right with you, it's your body. That's where you. So that's the, that's the place you got to go. That's the place you got to go. Yeah. Last time we went to eat with the keg, I told my husband never again. We were grossly full. That's like that, that's,

that's whole thing. The whole soup, the portions are out of control. Those supersized me. You know, I had a steak, Tony had a steak. probably if we were at home, he would have cooked that, he would have cooked one steak for us to share. That's what would have happened there. If you're at home, it'd be totally different, right? Fully recovering from sinus infection.

I'm on antibiotics and nasal spray. I bought a bag of double caramel popcorn while waiting for my prescription to be filled. Holy, holy. That's good shit, right, that caramel popcorn? Oh boy, holy sugar. My body definitely getting in tune around. 10 threw the bag out after a couple of muffles.

Or you could have saved it. You could have saved it for next time. When you are sick like that, your body is craving water like crazy because you've got a infection. So your body's trying to like detox that infection sickness, whatever it is out. You will crave sugar or not be hungry at all. If you're craving sugar, it's water, water, water, water. Sometimes though that craving is so big you think you'd need sugar.

And you need to pick me up. You need a little something, something and you're feeling down, right? Exactly hard. But, you know, I love that you caught that. That's not. And I love that it's so intense sugar. and you realize, even if you buy it, you realize right away, okay, this is not it. And that's what, this is what this is, this whole thing is about getting so in tune that when you're not trying

to lose weight, you're not trying to maintain your weight, you are just living your life. You already know. I don't know how many times I've done this. I've reached for something that's been around. I've taken a bite of it and been like, what? I do not want this. Right. It was just sort of like, oh, that looks yummy, whatever. I pick up something, take a bite and don't eat it all the time. Again, like I don't feel compelled like, oh, I pick this. I have to eat all of it. No, my body's not a garbage can. It was habit or I just saw it or I wanted to, I thought I wanted it.

And then I ate it and realized, what am I? I do not want this. This is like so sweet or this is like whatever or why did I. That's what it's about all of these scales, not just losing, not just maintaining, living your life. That's what it's all about. It is going to be a fun week this week. So Wednesday, my plastic surgeon friend, Dr. Sean Rice, is going to join,

and talk about skin. Especially for anyone who's taking weight loss medications. There's things that you need to know about what's happening with your skin that are really interesting. He's seeing this more and more and more. There's a lot you can do along the way. Try to make sure you have the healthiest skin as possible. We're going to talk about what can you do for like loose skin, creepy skin, cellulate,

what's new, what's changing? He's always so fun. And then Greg, Greg McDonald's going to join us for a conversation on self-care. So he's the owner of Bathorium. Just taking time for ourselves. What does self-care mean? When do we need to implement that? I think it's like an overblown word.

Where are we at with self-care? And then Cynthia Lloyd is joining us on Friday. So I'm going to do an extra live on Friday. And she's going to join me Friday morning, which we probably should do it like 9 o'clock at night. But we're going to have it in the morning. So it's going to be great. So thanks for joining me today.

Thanks for still being here. Yes. And if you haven't been joining us for a while and you are back, welcome back. Do not be shy about letting us know where you are at. We are here to help you, support you. Have a fantastic day, everyone. And I'll be back later tonight if you want to join me. And if not, I will see you tomorrow.

And I can't. I've got to find my mouse. Okay, have a great day, everyone. I'll see you later. Bye.
