The Livy Method Podcast - Maintenance & Mindfulness: Midweek Motivation - July 2, 2025

Episode Date: July 2, 2025

Welcome to your Midweek Motivation!In this episode of Midweek Motivation, Gina chats from the calm of the countryside and reflects on that disoriented, post-holiday feeling that’s so common midweek in summer. Odette shares how the Livy M&M Community is settling into a new groove—less focused on meals and more tuned in to how they feel. From turning off reminders to leaning into trust and mindfulness, they discuss the shift that happens when The Plan starts to become second nature. They also share a powerful insight: research shows it can take up to two years for the body to fully adjust to a new weight, which reinforces why The Livy Method emphasizes maintenance just as much as weight loss.You can find the full video hosted at:https://www.facebook.com/groups/ginalivymaintenanceandmindfulnessTo learn more about The Livy Method and our Maintenance & Mindfulness group, visit livymethod.com.

Is it time for a girls trip spoiler alert, it's always time for a girls trip, which means it's time for our podcast sponsor today sell off vacations. Whether you're craving sun, sand, salsa dancing, or just a stretch of dune, nothing on the beach time, Cuba is calling. And trust me, Cuba es única, which means Cuba is unique and this island is one of a kind. If you want

to do it right and do it for less, book with the travel pros at Sell-Off Vacations. They've been planning epic, I mean epic, getaways for Canadians for over 30 years and no one knows Cuba like they do. We're talking Verodero, Havana, Keokuk, Mojitos, absolutely mandatory. The best part, their best price bonus. I love this because it means if you find a better deal, they'll beat it. And that's money back in your wallet for spa treatments, cocktails, or a matching hat moment with the girls. I love to match. I love to match. So what are you waiting for? Happy Travels starts at SoloffVacations.com. Well, hello. Hi. Happy

Wednesday. Hi. How are you? I'm good. I'm good. I'm at my friend's Lin's house in the country. Say hi, Lin. Hi. Say hi, Lin. Hi, Lin. I just got here. It's beautiful. And this house is for sale.

If anyone wants to buy it, then be Lin's neighbor so I can come and visit and hang out. Yes. Yes. How far in the country? Well, I don't know. Two hours from the city. Two hours from the city. Two hours from the city.

Oh, that's not bad. No. It's like the time it takes to get from one side of Toronto to the other side of Toronto. Yes. On a good day. Yeah. And there's no traffic this way. So, yes.

So bonus. What day is it even? Are we in that part of the, like we don't even know what day it is? That's how I feel. You know, we were talking that exact thing in the group with the team today. We're like, is it like Thursday? Is it Wednesday? Is it a combination of Tuesday and Monday? Like, we're not really sure what day it is here. It's the day after a holiday. That's what it feels like. Yeah, well, and it's weird because with the Canada Day here, if you live where we are, it was on a Tuesday. So it was kind of like a long weekend-ish.

And then it's Wednesday, so now it's mid-week. And then, I don't know, the week's practically done. The year's over. I went through my calendar. I'm like, I think I'm just like, the year's over. I don't know. I also, I know we talked about this last week with Kyle Buchanan, who joined us. And he was talking about how we're just kind of trained, school's done, even if you haven't been in school or don't have kids. The summer's just kind of chaotic and it feels like it's all over the place. So yeah, anyway, I'm here for it.

I'm loving the beautiful weather. But yeah, I'm feeling like a little bit like, I don't know what day it is. Like that time between Christmas and New Year's. Yeah, where you just, yeah, except instead of being full of cheese, you're full of, you know, watermelon and beer.

Instead of cheese and eggnog. That's the difference. It's true. It's true. So, okay, so how, okay, legit, how are people doing? How's everyone feeling? Yeah, so it's been quiet, but it's like this calm quiet.

I don't feel like it's a scared quiet or it's an uncertain quiet. So just looking at the reflections, members are really saying, I've had a great week or I had a great week. I'm looking forward to the week ahead. And it's not about like, I had a great week because I hit all my meals and snacks or I had a great week because I hit all my meals and snacks,

or I had a great week because I set a water target. It's I had a great week, you know, I had a gathering and I had so much fun, or, you know, I got on the scale today and it was up, but I know why. So it's like they're starting to really connect the dots. So the reflections are starting to change a little bit. It's not food focused as much.

It's more about how this lifestyle is all coming together and they're starting to feel that calmness with it. And what we're really seeing too is members are slowly starting to trust themselves. Like we've been telling them it's going to happen. It will happen. For some it happens quicker than others. You know, I saw a member in the group today.

She said, I'm finally turning off all of my snack and meal reminders and notifications. I'm finally turning those off. And I'm just going to go by what my body's asking me. You know, it took her 11 weeks into the almost 11 weeks when you think of prep week, into the maintenance program to feel confident enough to do that. I'm going to turn off my reminders and just go by what I know and and what I've learned. You know, I think would be good for for our members to do, especially if this is your first maintenance program, is to kind of be like, how did I feel at this point in my weight loss journey and what's

different now that I'm going through this for maintenance and reflect on that. Well, even if you've done a couple maintenance programs, if you've been here for a while, I think taking some time to reflect on the calm, what's different. I was saying in the live this morning in the weight loss program about how I saw this, I'm going to send it to you. I don't know who it was. I saved it. It's on Instagram. It's a obesity medicine specialist. She's talking about how they know it takes two years for your set point to reset.

Two years of maintaining your weight for your body to adjust to that weight and I thought that was really interesting because we're also talking about how it's summer and we're triggered and then you know there's some there's always like a vacay a holiday a birthday some day that we need to navigate through and I just thought that was really interesting like two years put into helping your body adjust to your new weight so I know that may not seem motivating for people because they just want to be done already. But the thing is they can't figure out how to help people maintain and sustain

their weight. That's the problem. And of course, that's what people are doing here, right? It's not just the physical, let your weight adjust. It's all the mental stuff and understanding those triggers and like how you're feeling this time of year going into the summer one. I thought it was really interesting. I'm gonna send it to you. Actually, maybe I'll post it, but I'll send it to you and then we can maybe post it.

I thought it was really interesting. Yeah. And I think, you know, just saying that, just you saying that about two years, I think that in itself is a I think that in itself is is a beacon that in itself is motivating because I think our members, they're like, since six months, why do I why do I not feel confident yet? Or it's been a year? Why do I feel like I'm

still struggling? And now two years is like is normal. You know, two years is like, you think two years is so long. But just like you said, like, it's years, six months, this year, six months gone already. Yeah, you know, like, you think two years is so long, but just like you said, like it's years, six months, this year six months gone already. Yeah. You know, like when you think two years sounds so long, but it goes by so fast. It can go by so fast.

Well, and people forget like how long you've been trying to lose weight, right? How long has your body and your brain been functioning one way and now you needed to get it to function a completely different way. And it takes time. This takes time to adjust to that. So yeah, I'm gonna send it to you i saw it i was like oh i gotta share this so yeah i mean this is what like summer right with the last time it was summer

was this is probably the first summer for many of our members who they're not trying to lose weight and that in itself is huge and so just being able to maintain and sustain your weight or feeling confident rolling into the summer, like that's, that's a big deal. Yeah, I'm excited for those members that this is the first time this is the first summer that they not only are not trying to lose weight, but maybe have that feel that a bit of that freedom, you know, they're coming into it with a maintenance program under their belts already, maybe two or three under their belt already, not they've been with us since January, or even since the fall, you know, of last year, and they're coming now into this summer season. And like you said, we're we're conditioned to the summer is this light, airy, fun time,

sweaty for some, but you know, it's this time where you just want to feel a bit lighter and to not have that weight on your mind, to be able to have that freedom in your mind that this is the first time that you just you don't have to think about. Think about that. Yeah. And then back on track. So I know we introduced back on track this weekend. How are people feeling about back on track? Were they remembering back on track?

Is it like now that they're in maintenance, are they nervous about using back on track or it's good timing? Yeah, I think it's good timing? Yeah, I think it's good timing. I think, you know, members that have lost their way through the living method, that back on track is familiar to them. So I think we don't talk about it very much because as you're just maintaining,

you're starting to maintain and solidify. We want to keep this on the back burner. You don't want to use it as your go-to, as that tool. You wanna keep things status quo in the beginning. So I think now that we're revisiting it here in week 10, it's almost like this relief, like, yes, I have this tool. I can pull it out when I need it. I think what's interesting too is that now in maintenance,

back on track can almost be, and I use this word in the tweak because I joined Kim in the weight loss group on the tweak today that we don't want back on track to be this crutch. It's not there. You're like, oh, I can do this because I can go back on track or I can, you know, it's not a it's not there to give you permission. It's not a loophole, right? But it's the ultimate tool for life that you can check yourself before you wreck yourself when you need it. But you want to be super aware that it's not just that, you know, I don't want to be in that cycle, you know, of indulging back on track, indulging back on track. You still want to understand it's a tool that's

there when you need it, but you don't want to pull it out all the time. And you want to minimize that for the first like yes it's there whenever you need it but especially if this is your first round of solidifying your weight you really want to minimize any indulgences even when trying to maintain and sustain your weight because that's really you want to minimize the number of times you are challenging your body and so you just really want to allow it to adjust and I think that's the ticket so what's interesting when we talk about it takes two years challenging your body. And so you just really wanna allow it to adjust. And I think that's the ticket. So what's interesting when we talk about it, it takes two years for your body to adjust. I am sure you could fast track that time

by doing the maintenance program because you're actively working at helping the body adjust to your new weight. So it's not like you're just sitting there, you have indulgences, your weight is flexing up and down, and it just takes that long. And so even when you're in maintenance, I think you should still, when you're at active maintenance, I'm not talking live your life, when you're done, wake up, look and feel good, go about your day, you got it, you feel confident, you're calm, all of that. But while you are still working through your shit through active

maintenance, I think you want to minimize any indulgences. But if you do, obviously go on vacation, you know, whatever it is, back on track is there for you. But if you find yourself, you feel like you're always doing back on track, I think that's just, that can be problematic. Yeah, and it's challenging. It's not allowing your body to, it's like two steps forward, two steps back, rather than allowing your body to be calm and adjust to your weight. Yeah, and I like what you said there about,

if you're on vacation or you're really indulging, what you wanna remember too is back on track is not for when you're just working through your shit, like you said. Like it's not for you're noticing your nighttime snacking is starting to creep back in. That's not what back on track is for. Back on track is not there

to, you know, work through those old habits that are creeping back in. It's for when you've really indulged. So, you know, we had a member say like, I need to go back on track because I'm indulging in a daily cookie and popcorn in the evenings. This was from Shelly. So but that's not what back on track is for you need to still work through why are you indulging? Like, why is that cookie and popcorn coming showing back up again?

This is not the scenario for Back on Track. This is like, I need to work through my shit and figure out what is happening here. Yeah, because you're looking, I think in that scenario, it's almost like Back on Track is like a punishment or trying to control or moderate the cookie situation when the cookie situation is where you have the cookies in the first place. And then it's really if you are, you want to get back to if you're doing a revamp, for example, this week, or you're in like you are active, like maintenance and you're personalized

in the plan, that's where you wanna like start asking the four month leading questions. Why am I eating the cookie? Am I craving the cookie? Not go back on track as a way to kind of get a handle on that. So for example, yesterday I'm pretty sure I had 47 margaritas. And a few bags of truffle chips at night

and some chocolate and some other things I probably can't remember. But I'm not going back on track today. I don't need that. Do you know what I mean? Like that was just like a one-off. That was my day. Like I don't feel like I need to go back on track.

I just need to not continue the margaritas today and have more chocolate and more chips. I just need to have like a normal eating day today. That's it, right? Now, if I had been away at a cottage and this continued over the course of a couple of days, then I would probably feel like, okay, I need a bit of a reset here. Let me just simplify and then get back,

keep it nice and light, add some leafy greens, follow back on track and do that for a couple days until I feel like okay, take my probiotics, my prebiotics, my digestive bitters, like try to help my digestive system get back on track, body calm down from inflammation, my gut feeling better again after all that indulgences. So that's the difference, right? I'm not gonna go back on track because I had a few things last night or yesterday, but if that continued for a couple of days, then I would be like, okay, let me get my,

let me just get my shit together and get back, help my body get back to feeling really good. And on top of that, I'd probably move a little bit, try to get to bed at a decent time. Do you know, so that, I think that's the nuance there, that's the difference there. Yeah, and I think, you know, that bed at a decent time. Do you know, so that I think that's the nuance there. That's the difference there. Yeah. And I think, you know, that's a good point too. It's about, it's letting your body be in this calm place around food again, but it's also just getting your routines back in, in balance, even though they're never really balanced, but setting your

routines back again. So, you know, when you've had a day or three or seven of, you know, indulging or being off, your routines get shot, maybe you're not sleeping as well. Maybe you're not, you know, on top of your hydration anymore. Or maybe you just you know, you don't feel great. So you're not moving. So back on track is yes, getting back to that basic food plan, where your body is calm, but then your mind is calm, too, right? So you've got the capacity, like, okay, now my body is calm, but then your mind is calm too, right? So you've got the capacity like, okay, now my body is going to settle down. So now I can think about my sleep routine. Now I can think about putting on my sneakers and going for a, you know, a little walk. It's about bringing balance back everywhere. Yeah, that's where Yeah. And one day, you know, for some people, maybe can throw them off. But it's generally, you need to really feel

like you've done a number. Yeah. So that's really where you'll know. You'll know. You'll know. You'll know. Yeah, you'll know. It's time for today's podcast sponsor, and this is a company that I can feel good about.

It's Bombus. Did you know that socks are one of the most requested items by organizations supporting people experiencing homelessness? Yeah, socks. The thing most of us take for granted every single day. That's why I love bombas. They make the most comfortable socks in the history of feet. Seriously, once you wear them, you'll never go back. And for every pair you buy in Canada, they donate a pair to someone who really needs it. Same goes for the insanely comfy underwear and tees, which donate a pair to someone who really needs it. Same goes for the insanely comfy underwear and tees, which just so happen to be the most requested items by shelters.

So far, Bombas has donated over 150 million clothing items. That's not just doing good. That's doing real good. But let's talk about how they feel. Every sock, slipper, and tee is made from the softest, dreamiest materials. The underwear, effortless, the t-shirts, they're going to be your new fave. And the socks, game changers. Especially if you're working out, walking lots or just love a cozy vibe. They even have compression socks if you're into recovery mode like me. And the best part, Bombas has a 100% happiness guarantee. Meaning you can return exchange anything anytime no

questions asked. So if you want to feel good and do good at the same time just go to bombus.ca slash livi use the code livi at checkout for 20% off your first purchase. Again that's bombus.ca slash livi and don't forget to use the livi discount. All right. Yeah, so I think that's yeah, that's really, um, it with back on track our members. Yeah, they're excited. I think every time we talk about it, they're happy to talk about it. Um, it's just being clear on, on why they're using it and that, you know, I think it is, it really helps with this mindset of not having to start all over again. You know, I think it is it really helps with this mindset of not having to start all over again You know, I think that really solidifies that as well. Like oh, I've gone off the rails for four or five days I've gone on vacation for two weeks. I ruined everything

I need to start all over again and that language in itself is so heavy and can be so Can you know bring up so much? Like even self-doubt but where you when you're like, okay, no, I can't, I've got back on track. I've got this tool. I can do it. I think that's, having that can help eliminate that meeting to start all over again. Yeah, that's that mentality. Someone was talking about that this morning where they're like, I've done so well, but then I don't want to like undo everything that I've done. I'm like, you're, you're not going to undo everything because you go away on vacation one week away, a few indulgences

here and there. And then I think that that start again, mentality is so it's such a big part of people's history with dieting. Yeah. And I think it's great what you said, like today, you're not waiting for Monday, like today's Wednesday, you're not waiting for Monday. Like today's Wednesday. You're not waiting for Monday. You don't need to. You can do what you need to do today. You know that you can, it doesn't matter if you've been on vacation for a week and you

come back on a Thursday, you don't need to wait till Monday. You want to start feeling good right away. And that's where this can come in. We're not, you know, this is something you can use at any time whenever. Well, that's such a good point considering how we started off the conversation by talking about, we didn't know what day it is because it was a holiday yesterday. Well, I know our friends in the U S they have July 4th coming up. So you're going to encounter the same.

And this is where you want to make a plan for yourself and the little things that you can do. I hate the word on track, off track. Like I don't know. We have back on track. It's like back to feeling your best back to getting back at it that type of thing. I think this is where you make a plan and if you feel like this weekend was chaotic for example you're not feeling great you're not happy with choices that you made. This is where you want to be like okay how can I prevent that from happening how can I better make a plan for myself next time I go to a barbecue I'm going to bring my own whatever it is.

So rather than, you know, eating the hot dogs or not, but there's anything wrong with the hot dog, or rather than eating the things that I didn't didn't make me feel great. I can be a bit more in control and bring some things that I feel really good about eating. Right. So yeah, or even bring your little leafy greens. So you get some leafy greens in that day or bring some fruit with you. If you know, it's gonna be a long day or some vegetables so you can get in your snacks and still have the hot dog or the burger or whatever, but still get your, you know, your, your snacks in. Yeah, I think that what you said there too, like feeling your best. I think that's what we're back on track in maintenance. You don't want to tie. I mean, even the weight loss program, you don't want to tie back on track to the scale.

You're not doing back on track to try and see a number on the scale, because I mean, you'll make yourself, you know, you could drive yourself crazy doing that. It really is back on track is a feeling. It's the way that you feel you can't you can't let back. You can't let the scale tell you, oh, you've done enough days of back on track. Now. Yeah, yeah, it's, it's really about how you feel. It's that feeling of like, again, calm, just clear and, and ready to move on. Okay, yeah, exactly. I

love it. All right. Yeah, that was really, you know, so far this week with the biggest conversation has been back on track, our members are loving it and just like the reminder that it's there. So it is there and it's something that they'll use forever, not just in maintenance, not just when they were losing weight, but something that they'll always be able to take forward, come back to that basic place. So yeah, that's what it's about. This is

maintenance. And maintenance is about the holidays and the vacays and the it's, it's navigating those. This is maintenance and maintenance is about the holidays and the vacays and the, it's navigating those. And that's what you're actively learning while you are actively working on maintenance. That's part of it. You're not supposed to be out of sight, out of mind, not supposed to not have it. You're supposed to be really aware of how you feel

if you do have it, why you've had it, if you regret it and how to best prepare. It's all about like who is the you now that you lost your weight? Who what? How does that person do summers? How does that person vacation? How does that person go to the cottage? Right? Like I stopped and grabbed on my way here, picked up some groceries. I got some vegetables. I got some fruits. I got some Navy greens. you know, I picked up some stuff that I just saw that I, and I went to the chip aisle and I'm like, you know what?

I don't want chips. I had enough chips last night. I was so tempted and I'm like, I don't want them. I'm gonna indulge in like, you know, just some good delicious foods. I know I would have brought them. I couldn't find the truffle chips. If I would have found truffle chips,

I would have, I wouldn't have brought them. Alince, she's making us cheese. I see cheese. Look how beautiful. Oh, there you go. Look at that. Isn't this beautiful? Chips when I was doing the cheese.

Yeah, you were thinking about chips since, yeah. They were so good. They were also like, I stayed at the one hotel down, it's so nice, the one hotel down in the city. This is the one that's like, oh, like. So pretty. Yeah, it's so pretty. The chips are like 10 bucks a bag. That's the one that's like, oh, like, yeah, it's so pretty. The chips are like 10 bucks a bag. That's like, sure.

Drinking all the margaritas. And then I called downstairs because they had no food available. I'm like, there's no. And I was just saying, you should like this is all inclusive. Like it's Tuesday night. Like, you know, it's got food. So I might have called down to get some extra bags of chips. I don't know anyways I don't need them any more chips but yeah like who who is this person this summer you that lost the weight works really

hard how does that person do the summer how does that person do cottages how does that person vacation how does that person handle stress how does that person prepare right so this is where you need to think about this because this is all the hat the lifestyle that you prepare? Right? So this is where you need to think about this because this is all the hat the lifestyle that you created and that's what this is about. You lost your weight and you can't go back to the way you did it before. So how are you gonna do it now? And you know that's the that's that you're not just sitting here going through the motions of the program, right? That's what you're learning. Yeah, and you're setting yourself up for, like you said,

like having that summer that you want. And you know, it might take for some like, let's be fully transparent for some, it might take a few days of in the summer where you don't feel great. You're like, Oh, yeah, I don't want to feel like that again. You know, if this is your first, again, this is your first summer, like, you know, sometimes for me, I don't wanna feel like that again. If this is your first, again, if this is your first summer, sometimes for me, I think it's summer. I was just at four days at the cottage

and I was, by Monday night, I was like, oh, my rings were tight and my eyes were puffy. I'm like, I don't wanna feel like this anymore. So I know it was, I think it was Sunday night. I'm like, I don't wanna feel like this for my vacation. Let's turn it around. So sometimes if that happens, that doesn't mean you have to continue

the whole summer like that, or the whole vacation, or the whole whatever it is. But sometimes that can be a very good reminder that, yeah, this is how it used to be. And that's not how it has to be. Yeah, I think I'm good on the margaritas for a while. Yeah, until next week when we're together. Yeah, until next week.

It's true. Yes, yes, exactly. So we're coming up, people are gonna personalize in the plan, anyone starting to talk about that next week? Yeah, so we are having some people starting to talk about personalizing the plan. They know it's coming. It's this play. I feel like this round though, our members, like I said, they're slowly starting to get, they're slowly starting to accept that trust piece a little more already starting to move into it. Because although the tweak is

personalizing the plan, around here, we call it transitioning to trust because that's really the foundation of what you're doing, you're moving into this place of freedom of flexibility. But you're also moving to this place where you have to make this you have to call the shots, you have to make those decisions. So it for some, it's a it can be this fearful place. For some, it's exciting. For some, it's in the middle. So I think they're starting to feel that coming, like, oh, I'm moving away from the program.

I'm moving to this place where I have to call the shots myself. So yeah, I think it is weighing. It's there. People are aware of it, for sure. Well, because it's no longer something you're just doing in between groups or for the last two weeks of the program. This is something that's got a whole other meaning to it now because this is where this

is how you're going to be living. This is this is how you're this is the transition piece to the wake up, look good, feel good, know when to eat, what to eat, how much to eat or trust when to eat, what to eat, how much to eat. And that's why we call it transitioning to trust. It's like a whole other intention when it comes to maintenance and your personalize the plan,

as opposed to just another way to continue to move the dial on the scale. So, yeah. And it's not about going rogue, you know, at this point. We're not there yet. We're not where we're forgetting the principles and forgetting the guidelines and just having a free for all, trying everything out.

That's not what personalizing the plan is. We're not in that testing things out phase just yet. We're still following those basic principles. And we were talking about it actually. And it's like when you think about when you get your driver's license, right? And you take these in-class lessons, you're learning the rules of the road,

you're learning the theory of being on the road. Then when you get on the road, you don't just go rogue and do whatever you want, blow through stop signs and not pay attention. So you still take all those, you take what you've learned and then you apply it. You really have to, you know, pay attention and be aware. And it's, it's, you know, it's that taking what you've learned and taking what you know and applying it. Yeah, I love that comparison because again, it's about allowing your body to adjust to your new weight. You're not looking to be challenging it.

So it's not the time. It doesn't mean that you can eat whatever you want and do whatever you want. It's about going deeper in terms of trusting when to eat, what to eat and how much to eat. It's doing the work. Am I hungry? Do I need to eat? Could I eat? Should I eat? Understanding how you're feeling. And same thing goes with your food choices, right? Really trying to understand the difference between how you eat steak and how you feel versus how if you ate fish and how you feel, how you feel when you have your fruit versus your vegetables. It's really an opportunity to really have a deeper level

of understanding about how your choices make you feel. Yeah, it's not at all about it's time to do whatever you want or trusting yourself. And if you feel like, just like I say, the weight loss program, if that is your takeaway from it, then that's that's that's the message in there for you because your body doesn't want the thing like people feel like well if I get to choose I'm just going to eat donuts and that's not what we're doing that's not it right yeah yeah so I'm excited I'm excited for this for personalized in the planet for our

members and transitioning to trust and digging into the real fear that can be around it too. So, yeah. Um, homework for the rest. Do we do homework Wednesdays? I can't remember. I don't know what you're doing on Mondays, but they got they were off the hook this week because we didn't come together. They didn't have to think about they knew back on track was coming in the holiday. And yeah, so for the rest of the week, we're taught tomorrow, we're taught today, we started talking about people's reactions to your journey. Yes, this point, how they can some of those reactions, we've from knowing our members in maintenance, we know that we tend to get more reactions. Now, why are you still doing this? Why are you so obsessed? Are you still on that diet? What's going on? Are you ever gonna finish? So it's different than those that don't say anything

sometimes when you're on your weight loss journey. So we started talking about that today and how that can be hurtful or even bring up self doubt in yourself. Like, yeah, why am I doing this? So, and then tomorrow we're gonna continue the conversation with having a support system and adjusting your surroundings to align with who

you are now. And we don't mean like, you know, only having healthy food in your house or only going only being around people, people that are exactly like you, being able to cultivate that support when you need it. And real and realizing who that support system is, like we're not asking everybody to go and get brand new friends, but maybe there are some that when you need them or like the community in the group specifically, when you need them, you know where that support system is.

Well, let's talk about this on Monday, because when you said that, it's like, who is this person now that summer? It's like, how does this new you summer? How do you go away? How do you vacate? Who are the friends that you're hanging around with? What's the conversation? Right? Especially when you've gone and made all this change and then now you're more social and people are ordering the truffle fries and they're ordering this and you may not want to have that. And you know, what kind of conversations does that start or create? And yeah, so that's, that's yeah. Okay. Yeah. Yeah. Let's talk about that on Monday. Yeah. So we'll start it tomorrow in the group and

then we'll continue it on Monday. Yeah. And then Friday, I mean, like you said, Friday's 4th of July Independence Day. So we're just going to keep it light and fun. We know we have a lot of members in the US. So we just keep it light and fun. And we're talking, because we like to talk food on Fridays, we're talking food differences. So we want to know what's in the US that we don't have here and what do we have here that they don't have there. Interesting. So like we have, we have, we're talking about chips. We have ketchup. We know our members love to have fun on Fridays. We keep it nice and light. So here we have ketchup chips. And in the US.S., they have fried green tomato chips made by Lay's. And they're really popular in the South.

I just found, speaking of chips, because I know I was just looking, they had the ketchup, they have spicy, the Misfikis have the new spicy ketchup chips. And what I see that Lay's came up came up with was the laser ruffles came up with garlic. Oh, garlic chips. I almost bought them. I was tempted but I didn't because I'm going to just eat my I'm just gonna eat my my vegetables. Eat your kale and your vegetables. Oh, I did buy actually I bought some pistachios. And so I'll probably eat this whole bag of pistachios rather than chips. But they are I got unsalted and I bought some pistachios and so I'll probably eat this whole bag of pistachios rather than chips But they are I got unsalted and I got no flavor. So it just plain

So maybe you won't get the whole bag They're unsalted and plain you might have five and be like me. You're right Probably will Okay, I got some cherries and some blue cheese and I'm gonna go put my groceries away. Okay, I got some cherries and some little peas. I'm going to go put my groceries away. Okay, Adele, put your groceries away. Thanks everyone. We'll see you. Have a great rest of your week. We'll see you on, I'll see you on Monday.

Monday. Yep. Bye. Bye.
