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.
It's your maintenance midweek motivation.
Some of my favorite conversations are taking place here.
Wake up, look good, feel good, no matter what life throws out you.
You've got this.
It's a whole vibe.
It's a whole vibe.
Gosh, it feels good to be back.
I was just reading this comment from Karen.
Hi, Karen.
I'm feeling better already since January 5th.
Yeah.
right like your body is working for you um okay so here we are this is our midweek motivation if
you missed it on monday we start every monday at 12 o'clock just trying to be like okay where are we at
how's everyone feeling for the week we of course going over the guidelines this week it's the
prep week guidelines you absolutely do not want to assume it's the same information from the weight
loss program i know that's how we used to do it so before we had a maintenance group it was do
another round of the living method to be able to solidify your weight. And of course, we started up
the maintenance group. And so now all of the information has been skewed specifically to maintenance
using those six pillars of maintenance that Ruth Kane and our team at the University of Ottawa
have been studying. So this is a whole other thing, this maintenance program. I would say even for
our returning members who've been in maintenance for a while, right? Things are always changing.
evolving, even the new research around maintenance, because this is just something that's been
really new. We know Ruth and her team at the University of Ottawa, she actually presented
at the World Obesity Conference in Malaga, Spain, and she presented her findings on maintenance,
and she was like the only one talking maintenance, because everyone's still stuck on how to lose weight
and not talking about how to maintain and sustain your weight. So what do you want these midweek
check-ins to be about? Hi. So, yeah, I'm totally wanting to know that.
But I want to go back to what you said about our returning members, I think because they may have read the information the first time and it didn't resonate with them.
Like they didn't understand why they would need new coping mechanisms because they've never been through a stressful situation.
They didn't realize what it would be like to come through a holiday season because I've never been that before and what issues and triggers could come up.
So maybe they read that information but didn't really take it in.
And now they're like, oh, that's what they meant by that post.
And that's what, you know, that makes more sense now.
So to come back and read it again and engage again and take it all in again, I think that's a super important point for people that are coming back.
Well, yeah, because maintenance isn't just putting that three months into helping your body solidify your weight.
It is really working through all of those holidays, vacays, memorial days, like kind of going through that whole first year of your life at your new weight and navigating your way through that.
Like when you lost your weight, everything could have aligned.
or maybe you're like easy, peasy one and done.
And we know, we know from research that people who spend more time in the weight loss
program losing their weight have an easier time being able to maintain and sustain their
weight because they've been working through their issues and associations a lot longer.
So you could have lost your weight like that, but then actually struggle more in maintenance
because it's the solidifying that mindset or those new habits, right, that you kind of keep
dipping into your old habits.
I mean, that's the reason people gain weight back.
They go back into old habits.
And so it's all about creating these new habits that you need to now maintain and sustain.
And then, of course, why are you now maintaining and sustaining them when, you know, losing weight is no longer like the end game, right?
So a lot to talk about here.
I love this, Sue.
Hi, everyone.
Who else feels so good getting back on track?
I love to hate and then love routine.
I know.
Yeah, it's true.
Like Sunday night, you're like, oh, I've got to get back at it tomorrow.
And then you're in it and you're like, this feels amazing.
I'm two days in and I'm like wanting to get up in the morning.
I'm actually thirsty again.
I'm, you know, it's amazing that you don't want to.
And then when you do, you're like, yeah, this is it.
This is exactly it.
So this is also what's getting back.
You asked, you know, what is this segment all about?
And it really is about talking about what the members are talking about how they're feeling,
what they're going through up to this point in the week.
And then it's to help them, you know, just feel maybe the word is not motivated.
Like that's what this segment is.
It's midweek motivation.
Maybe it's just feeling like they are recharged or they are reminded that they can still, you know,
have the week that they want to have.
They can still have the next few days can end the way they want them to, even if the first
few days haven't been exactly what they want.
So that's what this is.
It's really a check-in.
It's a mindset reset.
And it's just, you know, we talked about mindset on Monday.
This is just kind of reminding you of that and helping you have to finish off the week the way
you want to.
Well, yeah, when we roll out these guidelines, obviously Odette is going through all the
comments and the things that you guys are asking and saying. So it's an opportunity, especially
for our new members, when you read over those guidelines, you've got a couple of days to kind of
like, you know, kind of feel it out. And then this is an opportunity to go through some of the more
frequently asked questions. And what I want to talk to, is it Mel? Can you do the, can you do
the weight loss program and the maintenance plan at the same time because you've gained weight?
So the weight loss program is for losing weight. Once you reach your goal weight, weight, you want to go
into the maintenance program to be able to solidify your weight. Now, that doesn't mean that you're
going to just stay at that weight. Sometimes what happens is something happens in life and you end up
gaining some of your weight back, right? It depends on how long. Like if you've been, you know,
six months of gaining weight back and you have a considerable amount of weight to lose and you might
want to think about really focusing on the weight loss program again. Whereas in maintenance,
it is normal for certain times in your life for your weights of fluctuation.
to go up on the higher end, you know, maybe a little bit more than you are comfortable with.
And this is where you have to say, okay, let me get back on track. And it's back to feeling your
best, back to routine, back to doing the things that you know you need to do to keep your
weight where in the range that you want to keep it. What you don't want to do is do the maintenance
program and then want to lose weight, right? But it is normal to be in the maintenance program,
have your weight go up and then work hard to get your weight back down again. Does that make
sense? Yeah, it makes sense. And I think that this is exactly what members are talking about.
Kim, who is one of our members, she brought up this exact point. And I wanted to bring up her
comment today is because she's, you know, members are seeing that they're at their higher end.
So she asked currently at the higher end of my range and I'm starting to feel uncomfortable,
should I go back to the weight loss program or get back on track and follow this program.
I'm only talking five pounds here.
Over the holidays, I went a little off the rail, old habits of nighttime snacking join the party.
So what I really wanted to say right off the top here is that this is really showing that maybe we're not totally comfortable in this range yet because we haven't ever been told to accept a range.
We haven't ever been told to like, okay, listen, you are at the higher end of your range right now.
what are you going to do to get back to that comfortable place?
Is it going into a weight loss program or is it just getting back to routine, having those
habits fall into place again?
Admittedly, it was said, I went off the rails.
Great.
Well, get back on the rails and see what happens and see how you start to feel even within
that five-pound range.
Your range might end up being eight or 10 pounds.
But I think that's what was really coming from this comment was it's the same.
trust issue of not feeling comfortable within that range yet. And then that like, oh, shoot,
I'm going up. I need to like attack this and get on it right away versus let's just see what
happens if I come back to routine, come back to habits and come back to doing what I know I need
to do. Yeah. First of all, I love this for Kim. I love the awareness, right? And I mean,
five pounds is nothing. Like I could wave myself this morning and at the end of the day today,
my weight can be up five pounds. A lot of that is just inflammation. It's just like, you know, lack
asleep. Like, you know, it's just like the chaos of the holidays. It'll come as soon as you
reestablish that routine again, it's going to come right back down. But I used to get this all
the time with my clients. So my personal clients, when I'd help them lose weight, let's say they
reach their goal in June. Okay, off you go, whatever. Always after the holidays, all my clients would
be like, I need to sign back up with you again. And I've gained weight. And I'm like, no,
you don't. I'm like, just get back on track, follow the basics. And if your weight is not
back down again within a couple weeks, then, yeah, come talk to me. And then always, always. They're like,
oh, yeah, I'm fine. I'm good. Because the thing about when you feel really, really good,
right, when you taste that, what it feels good to feel good, confident, calm in your body,
you feel good. When you feel even slightly off, you feel like really, really off, which is great.
Because I love that Kim is feeling uncomfortable because it's like, hello, your body's like,
Hello, Kim. Have we had enough of the alcohol and the this and the late nights and the that?
Like I'm starting to feel it. Can you like do something to help me get back to feeling better?
And that's all that it is. Back on track is back to feeling your best, really.
Not that you're off track. You got to get back on track. You got to do the things.
So it might not be just the basic food plan, right? It might not be. It might be, okay, your stress levels are through
the roof you're not doing the same things to help manage your stress that you did before your sleep
hygiene is off you're you're still binge in netflix we're we're watching culinary wars over here
up to like 1230 for the last three nights i mean like not do i really need to do that no but i'm still
in the holiday yeah fucking tired today but you know um so what do you need to do what it's been going
on in your life and what do you need to do to get back into routine
Three days. Three days, eating the foods, drinking the water, trying to get your sleep,
you're going to feel a million times better, a million times better.
Yeah. So go ahead. No, I was going to say there's like a real, there's something very real
about the approach here too. Like, you know, you're like, oh, I'm, I'm not feeling, maybe it's,
I'm not feeling stressed. The holidays are over, but then you're stressing because you're at
five pounds. And then you're approaching every meal and snack time with that in mind.
You're approaching every day with that in mind. And that in itself can be stressful. So I think
it's really valid, you know, what you said about just taking that time, take a minute and just,
you know, just do the things that you can do, do the things that maybe you, you know, can,
you can make a priority and look at it with that approach instead of like, oh my goodness, I need to do
something. Like, no, I can do something here. I don't, you know, don't talk to yourself like you
need to do all of these things. You get to. You can do all of these things. And that approach in
itself can make you feel a little bit lighter about, you know, stepping into where that range is.
Well, and the holidays are hard and very triggering.
Mary's talking about the food noise is bad today, right?
Because like, look at it's the holidays, you know, all of that.
Now you're back into the new year, new you mentality, right?
So like all that's very triggering, very sure.
So that's why you really want to focus on yourself.
Get back to journaling, set your intentions, make a plan for yourself, try to be in the moment,
take time to take some deep breaths throughout the day.
What was going on, like what was going on during the holidays?
right and this leads to who asked how do you know grace how do you know when the weight is real weight
you know you know because it's all about the choices that you were making like it's a lot harder
and takes longer than you think to have the foods that you are eating convert into actual
fat that makes you fat so a lot of that can just be inflammation and then stress and then whatever
And then let's say, okay, so your weight went up over the holidays, and now you're like back out at hardcore, and now you're working out. So your muscles are sore. So your weight is up because your muscles are sore. And, you know, so you'll know, it takes a lot longer than a few weeks to gain real weight. My weight is really prone to fluctuation. So I can easily see like five to eight pounds up on the scale after a weekend of indulging. Is it real weight gain? Absolutely not.
Especially if I drink alcohol. Oh, my God. It just seems like I just am like, bloated and whatever. It takes about a week to calm down from that. So I would say it takes about three solid weeks to have your body calm down from the stress of the holidays. The sooner you can reestablish that routine. And this is what's so great about the basic food plan is that you've done it so many times. It is so ingrained physically and mentally that the minute you start doing it, your body's like, oh, okay. Oh.
Right? So yeah, it can, right? It feels to me that it's not about panic. If I panic,
then a whole bunch of bad shit happens. We try to hold on deeper. We try to control and moderate and
all of those things rather than be like, okay, where am I at? What do I need? Right? Like, how do I get
here? Okay. Let me do the things I need to do to get back to back at it. Yeah, exactly.
It's that approach. And something you said just a minute ago, too, was, you know, we're coming
into January now, and it's this energy of this new year, new me, and, you know, having to hear
all of that and coming off this triggering holiday season. And that can, that is all true.
That is all happening. And we also see our members right now talking about, um, these residual food
hangovers that they're trying to, that they're trying to get over. These residual sugar cravings
that they can't kick. They're actually feeling like they're having withdrawal from, from,
you know, all the sugar they had. And that can actually create some physical feelings.
And, you know, and it's keeping them in this mindset, we're like, oh, I thought I had these cravings kicked and now all of a sudden they're back. And that's a real thing. These residual cravings are a real, real thing. They are a physical reaction. And I think if we can just remember that as we're going through this week as well, like we're resetting that, staying consistent, staying with that basic food plan, getting those leafy greens and those healthy fats and that water is going to help you.
go through that withdrawal, in quotation marks, that withdrawal a little bit quicker.
Yeah.
And you'll see that you indulged and you enjoyed and your weight went up and your weight will come
back down.
That's so important for you to learn.
That's why I said, I'm like, excited for Kim, because you'll learn this.
You'll learn like she did that.
And then she's like, feels it.
And then she's like, okay.
And then that will be that.
And that is how you will handle all of these situational changes or circumstances that
happen to you.
Some are great in their holiday induced.
Some are, you know, a little bit more traumatic.
and whatever you got going on in your life right now, right?
So it's understanding that.
I like Kim talking about,
she was listening to a podcast from Michael Singer who wrote The Untethered Soul.
He talked about shifting our context to I can't handle this to I can.
And that's where Odette just mentioned that mindset, right?
And so anything that's going to help you get in that right mindset,
that's what this is about.
You know you can lose your weight.
You did that.
You did that.
You knew how to lose.
You know the factors that were a tribling,
attributing to you gaining weight in the first place, the things you had to do in order to
help your body release that fat and lose your weight and reach your goal. You don't need to
redo that. You don't need to redo that, right? That's where, you know, any kind of books or
our podcasts or resources that can help. I actually wrote a book over the holidays, believe it or not,
it's the comeback method. It's not a to-do book or anything like that. It's really about readiness
and mindset and really might help you kind of understand why maybe you feel.
a little so off track or why you feel a little lost, not that I'm trying to sell you more
things. I haven't really been talking about this book, but you might be interested. It also comes in
an ebook version too. It's on Amazon. It's really for people who just kind of feel lost. Like,
why can't I get my shit together? And we're just kind of really just helping you recognize where
you're at. But I mean, anyone's books or podcasts, anything. That's what it's about. It's not about
more weight loss tips for you guys. If your weight went up or the holidays, you know why.
it was the choices that you made, your stress, lack of sleep, overindulgence, okay, that's done.
What do you need to do to help your body get back to feeling its best?
And that's where that routine, routine of following the program, the maintenance program is going to be a game changer.
Yeah.
Listen, you're consistent.
Give yourself three days of being super consistent.
You're going to be like, okay.
Got this.
Yeah.
Yeah.
And just like you said, it's that mindset again.
it's that physical feeling again. It's all that will just start to click. And yeah, you know,
this is like that point. Like you may not have been through this before. So here you go.
Here's your learning opportunity to, to come through this. Yeah. And if you, um, if you know,
if you've been like kind of off for six months too and you feel like you've just been like,
you know, making choices and you, your weight visibly has gone up. And there is that case,
right? There is that case where people do gain weight back. But it's definitely not from the
holiday season. Right. So this would be, this would be, it would be over a
months and months and months, understanding the choices you're making, falling back into old
habits, what was going on in your life. So people do gain weight back after being in
maintenance because things happen to them that they're not prepared or equipped for and they
dip back into old habits. Why do people gain way back? I used to say not putting time into
solidifying your weight, helping your body adjust to your new weight, situational change, not being
mindful. But why do those attribute to weight gain? Because we fall back into old habits. So there
might be people listening who've been off for a while and have actually gained weight back. And if that's
the case, it's a significant amount of weight, then you might want to be like, okay, let me, you know,
do the weight loss program, focus on that solely and then revisit maintenance when it's time.
Yeah. You'll know when you need that support. And to your point, we had a member on Monday say,
you know, I've been in maintenance here for a year, but I need to go back into the weight loss group now
because my weight has come back.
And this is a member who had a stroke last year,
you know,
went through some other,
another devastating loss and had a massive,
like just everything was thrown upside down for this,
for this member.
And he shared,
like I need to really focus on that part of my journey again
because this has happened to me.
And you want them to recognize that,
yes, of course,
I mean,
as traumatic as it wasn't,
we don't say this is going to happen to everybody.
And we would never say that.
But other life events can happen
and that are going to, you know, throw you off a little bit.
So if that is the case and you need to, you know, really take that time and focus on that
weight loss journey again, I mean, that's okay too.
We're not saying that everybody only needs to, you know, work within their range.
You'll know if you need that support again to get back to weight loss.
I know our members have heard this, but look at me, right?
I lost my weight over 100-something pounds 30 years ago.
I really had, it was pretty easy for me to maintain and sustain.
Sometimes I'm at the lower end, sometimes the higher end.
sometimes at the higher end of my 10-pound range.
And the last couple of years, with stress of running a company with my kids' mental health
and addiction issues, with my kids' dad dying, which was huge, I'd never experienced that
before, with going through menopause, my weight kept going up.
And I was so pig-headed about knowing what I needed to do that I actually wasn't
looking at the things I really needed to do, like have a conversation with my doctor,
like really taking my, you know, using wine to cope.
seriously, like saying no to things where I was overextending myself. So even me as a weight loss
expert, I had to really check myself. I had to be like, okay, what is going on in my life?
Because I was in this kind of denial. I'm fine. I'm fine. I'm fine. And when I was in it,
I really couldn't see it. And it wasn't almost until two years later where I said to Tony,
oh my God, I don't not think I handled the last two years of my life very well. And I remember I
was walking out of my bathroom. And he's like, no, you really didn't. But he was like, but you did
the best you could. And it took me a while. Did it get that? And now I feel fantastic. My weight is back
down. And I'm like a week away from my one day in menopause before I'm postmenopause. You know,
my kids gone through, you know, rehab a couple times. She's doing well. It's been, it's going to be three
years since the kid's dad passed away. So they're doing better. You know, I'm getting handled.
on business and stuff. It's still stressful, but so is life, right? So this is where it's learning
the tools and skills and the wherewithal and awareness to be like, I do not feel myself. I feel like
something's going on. What is it? I want to talk here about sugar detox because someone mentioned
that the sugar noise. I've done so while in the program, thanks to Gina and team, still have
quite a bit of sugar noise. The struggle is real. So I don't. I don't.
like vilifying foods or like, you know, that fear mongering mentality. But sugar does have
its addictive qualities to it. It causes almost instant inflammation in the body. It feeds
into dopamine hits. It gives you an insulin high. And your body, when you, when you come off sugar,
it feels that because you're used to like really jacked up insulin levels, which really
affect your kidneys and how your body functions. So you can kind of feel like a detox.
withdrawal from sugar, and it can be very dicting, especially if that's your thing.
If you are craving carbs and sugar, it could be one habitual, so based on habit, right?
If you want sugar, if you have sugar, you want more sugar.
If you are dehydrated, you tend to crave carbs in sugar, so making sure you are hydrated
is a big one, and just be aware of it.
But you can definitely feel the effects of, you know, if you've been indulging in sugar,
you know, getting off the sugar. I mean, it does have its addictive qualities for sure. So
that's not in your mind. I think the only way to really break that, if you can bump up your good
fats and proteins that'll make you physically feel more satisfied. So make sure you are making
your food choices nutrient rich. And that will help with that. Okay. Odette, I know sidetracked
the conversation a little bit. What else before we go today? Do you want to talk about?
I was on to just touch on. So the scale post came out today. It's one of the biggest questions that we
get in the group. I'm now in maintenance. Should I keep weighing my, should I keep weighing my,
did you just read something funny? Well, Kim's like, come join the menopause club. I am so happy.
I'm going to throw a party. I'm right there with you. I'm so excited. It's been a game changer for me.
I've struggled a lot, vertigo, frozen shoulder, heart palpitations, all of that, and constant
migraines. And every day I would wake up and I would like constantly carry pills with me because I was
always on the verge of a migraine. I cannot tell you that feeling is gone. It's,
gone. I don't live in fear of being triggered by a migraine every day. It's just fucking,
it's been like, it's amazing. But anyway, sorry. No, that's okay. So just to talk about the
scale. And, you know, for anybody that's new and hasn't heard us talk about the scale here in
maintenance. I mean, that's one of the biggest questions we get. Should they continue to
weigh myself or not? Because, you know, they think they should have this freedom from the scale.
They think that they should not feel like they have to weigh themselves every day. So we like to
say that, I mean, we think it's a great idea to keep weighing yourselves with the right
intentions. I think that is the biggest thing. And that can also be part of this mindset
shift when we're transitioning from losing to maintaining is shifting that mindset of I'm not
getting on the scale to see my lowest low or if my weight has gone down. I'm getting on the
scale to notice a pattern. I'm getting on the scale to notice how it's reacting from the choices that
I've making. What I did over the last couple days, does it have the scale up?
or down. Oh, that's that I've collected. That's something I've learned. How am I reacting to
it being up? How am I reacting to it being down? This is why using the scale as a tool can be so
powerful here in this stage, not to be trying to see that lowest low, but to see those patterns
connecting the dots for yourself, understanding where your fluctuations come from, or maybe not
understanding where they're coming from, but working towards understanding where they're coming from.
So I think if you're getting on the scale, it's got to be with the right intention.
And that's what we talk about in that post is, yes, continue to weigh yourself, but weigh yourself
with that intention of data collection, of seeing your patterns, of getting to know yourself
at this part of your journey and forever, really, that's what that scale is for.
Yeah, what maintenance looks like and feels like.
I love that people are noticing that their weight went up over the holidays, that they're kind
of feeling off.
Great.
You got to experience what indulgence feels like, right?
after feeling really good, you indulge.
This is what it feels like.
This is the effect that it has on your body.
Okay, you're going to learn that you get back on track and your weight's going to come back
down.
You're going to get back to feeling really good.
With the scale, it's kind of like a check yourself before you wreck yourself.
And maybe the scale is like a good message in your face.
If you have been indulging and you are noticing like you're still dipping into old patterns,
but it's about what is maintenance now look like and feel like to you.
Like I know my body tends to really fluctuate.
I know when I drink red wine as much as I love it,
I feel bloated and my weight is, my body's inflamed and my weight is up for like a week, right?
Like, I know when I have a crappy sleep, I wake up.
My weight's going to be up.
So I like that, I like that whole try to guess your weight before you get on the scale.
Try to be like, okay, knowing how I feel today and the choices that I'm making, what's going
on my life, what do I think my weight is?
And then why?
If it's up, why is it up?
Or I worked out yesterday.
My muscles are sore today.
And, you know, I got on the scale and my weight is up.
Oh, yeah. It's just for my workout yesterday. Oh, yeah. It's just because I didn't drink enough
water yesterday. Oh, yeah, it's because I'm tired today. Oh, like that's that sense of awareness.
So the scale isn't to help control yourself or moderate yourself. It's to help just like you,
it's like, it's like Odette says that data collection. So you're like, okay, this is the scale today
versus the choices I'm making, how I'm feeling what I got going on in my life. Some people like
getting on the scale because they love the fact that they lost 100 pounds and I love to
fucking see that every day. They're like, I love, we've talked to people about this.
They're like, I love getting on the scale because I celebrate the fact that I've done this
every single day. Other people like to get on the scale because it does help keep them in check.
And that's, I mean, I don't want anyone using a scale for the rest of your life. But if you feel
right now in maintenance, it's beneficial, then you can absolutely do that, right? Yeah. Yeah, I agree.
Yeah. Um, who's this, Diana? I went to a movie Monday night and thought ahead. If I had,
if I had popcorn, it would be so salty. I would have had an effect.
on the scale. I pass on the popcorn. Maybe in another month, I'll go to a movie again,
but I won't be as hesitant because Christmas is over and I've been stable for a month.
Like, that's it, right? Too? Like, that's how I kind of like, how do I want to feel the next day?
Sometimes it's worth having the popcorn. You enjoy it. And other days, you're just like, I don't
really need it. I just, I love getting a tea at a movie. To me, I just, like, I have my tea and I sit
tea, you know? So it's just like, it's like making those choices that make you feel good. And sometimes it's
having the popcorn, which leads to not feeling good. And sometimes it's not having it, right?
But it's not about control. It's about being self-aware and it's not about moderating.
It's about being in tune and making choices that make you feel good regardless of what those
choices are. I think it's about making those educated choices too. Like, I'm going to have
the popcorn and I know I'm going to feel not great tomorrow. That's, you know, that's an educated
choice. You're making that choice. And you've educated just, you're educated on yourself, not on
what anybody else is telling you, you know, yep, I can make this choice and knowing full well
what's going to happen. And that's okay. You just move on from that. Okay, advice for people for the
rest of the week, Odette. Yeah, so for the rest of the week, I think it really, this week is just
about consistency and routine. We know it's only three days of, you know, being back at it,
if that's what we want to call it, you know, focusing on the water, focusing on our sleep again.
I think that, you know, for the rest of the week, that's where we're at. Be excited. Be excited
where you are. I'm loving, what I'm loving about the vibe in the group right now, too, is that
it's not this, it's not this feeling of starting over. It's not this feeling of starting over
because it's January. It's this feeling of, oh, here I am. I'm back. Like, I'm just, I'm here
to continue. I'm not starting over. And I think that's the message that I want everybody to
take through for the rest of the week. You're not here starting over after an indulgent
holiday season. You're not here starting over after something that may have come up for you in the last
few months. You're not here starting over. You're here. You're just, you're just getting back to it.
You're getting back to the place where you know you can be. And I'm loving that. And that's what I want
the rest of the week to be. And if you're hating the routine right now and you're hating the
water, you can feel it sloshing around in your stomach. It's okay. You're just, you know,
that's your vibe. You're here. You're back at it. You're not starting over. Okay. I love that.
Have a fantastic rest of your day. Have a rest of your week, everyone. Okay. Bye, everyone.
Thank you.
