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.
How are you feeling today?
Oh, gosh, I'm just trying to.
I'm trying to get organized.
How are you feeling today?
Oh, forget it.
Yeah, I, today's a day.
day. Today is a day. If it's Wednesday, if it's midweek, I'm not sure. It is a day. We are feeling it.
I don't think I'm the only one feeling it. So let's talk about it. Well, Odette and I were just saying
that she went back to this week last, last program and we were talking about, or last year this time,
and we were talking about people who were feeling pissy. And I think I even like did a post about it.
And in the group today, in the weight loss program, Kim joined me for the tweak this week. And she was a little
pissy pants. She was like, she was a lot pissy pants. I was there for it. I loved it. I was like,
just girl, let's have a real talk. And I'm not a sugar coder. But normally Kim's a bit of a sugar
coder. And she wasn't sugar coding today. And people loved it. They were there for it. I think you
have to have real, real conversations. But then it occurred to me, there's a couple things going on
week nine. You know, it could be like, yes, it's the long haul. We're feeling the crunch of the
time left. We just want it done already. Plus the holiday season.
And, like, I think no remembrance day is hard.
I just don't know how you wake up and you're like, oh, today's a wonderful day on
Remembrance Day.
Like, I don't know about you, both my grandparents were in the war, which is one thing,
but they're not even around anymore, which is really sad, which is another thing.
And but then we got Christmas looming.
And, you know, it was a lot of stress with the Jays and Halloween and the time change.
And I don't, it's a, you know, I don't know.
I found it last night ago.
I'd put my dog down.
Yeah.
So you just had your dad pass away.
Right?
So many people are carrying grief.
So I don't want to be like a Debbie downer or, you know, I don't want to also reg on any debby's.
So I'm sorry about that.
But I don't want to be a downer, I guess, today.
But I think what's the takeaway?
How we feel absolutely factors into our journey.
And universally, collectively, I think we kind of go through our feels together.
I don't know. Is that a lot? Is that too deep? Do you want to switch gears? Talk to me.
No, I'm here for it too. I'm here for this conversation. I think, you know, I was trying to think about our feelings and what's going on this week. And is it week nine or is it more than week nine? Like, what are we asking of our members and what are we asking of ourselves at this point? And like you said, like when we're talking week nine in the weight loss group or in the maintenance group, we're revamping. You know, we're asking to revamping.
We're asking to change things up.
We're asking you to shake up what might feel comfortable.
And then on top of that here in the maintenance group,
we're having you look at self-regulation.
And what does that even mean?
It's not just about the food plan revamp.
It's about revamping your whole day.
It's about revamping how you're going about things
and how you see things and revamp your thought patterns
and revamp your behaviors, revamp your actions.
And then like you said, we had Thanksgiving,
then Halloween, then Remembrance Day.
then that's not even your own personal shit going on.
And now we have the holidays coming.
And I think, you know, people might be thinking about these holidays are going to look
different to me than they did before or it's not going to be the same or they're remembering
maybe past seasons of the holiday that could have been traumatic and, oh, gosh, that time is
coming back again.
I think it, yes, it's a week nine thing.
I think it's a seasonal thing.
I feel like it's a what's going on with me thing.
I think it's a lot.
I think week nine,
I have said more of this group,
I think, than any group,
that the universe is timing things
exactly where we need them.
And I feel like this revamp week of week nine,
this week is exactly where we need it.
We've had a time change recently.
We've had our first snowstorm where we are in Ontario.
Like, there's just a lot of shit going down.
And now we're asking you to revamp your whole way of eating
and over-complicating how your thoughts and actions and behaviors.
You know, I think it robs here, no matter what life throws at us mush on, when to eat, what to eat, how much to eat, so much going on at all time, stay positive.
But yeah, and you know, I think it's what you said there, because I was reading that's comment the same time you said it's all how you see things, right?
So you could see things, remember and stay. Like, look at what, you know, our relatives fought so hard.
So we could, we could be alive today and enjoy all the freedom that we have, right?
Yes, it's sad. I need to put my dog down. But I got so many amazing.
years with that dog she lived way longer than she should we we were told to put her down months ago
and we've had months just full of joy yes the jays lost but that was freaking thrilling and amazing
and yes the holidays are upon us but it's also a time of comfort and love and yes we had a snowstorm
but what is better than turning your fire we were by our fireplace so we're lucky enough to have a
fireplace in our living room we turned it on uh tony and the two kids we watched seven that old like man
it was a serial killer movie but my one daughter's into that kind of thing but we watched this
old movie the fireplace was on um no the dog like jasmine was lying there and our other dog and
our cat it was cozy and you're right right this is this is wanting to see the other side of that
too like we can really dig our dig into all the negatives and when you say yeah like see the
positive that's the awareness that we have it takes a lot of work to be in tune to be self-aware
and connected with oneness.
So you will feel the oneness,
but you have the choice
to how you see that oneness.
So collectively, yeah,
we can all be kind of feeling like
the change, the dark,
the heaviness, the stress,
but you also can choose
how you are showing up
and choosing to see that
in that perspective, right?
Yeah, here's Pam.
I used to be an avoider.
Burry my head in the sandwich,
shit hit the family,
thanks to what we have learned here.
We have the tools we need
to feel the feels and thrive in the case.
Also choose again.
You can, this reminded me to, I would say that to my kid who just woke up.
I said, you have an opportunity to choose how you feel here.
Do you want to choose again?
Do you want to be Pisty Pants or do you want to like go and have fun and whatever?
And you'd see them.
They'd be like, oh, yeah, I don't want to do this.
I want to do that.
We also have the power to be able to do that to choose, to choose how we feel.
We can absolutely choose how we feel.
Well, I turned that around, didn't we?
Yeah.
I think it's like choosing how you feel, what's your approach, what do you want to remember
about it? I think that that is what we're, it's a revamp. It's a revamp of how you show up.
It's a revamp of how you see things. You know, it's not just a revamp of the food and what's going
on, which of course is always part of this week. It's always part of something. And, you know,
just this week we're coming up on the, my daughter and I are coming up on the one year
anniversary of going to the heiress tour and we didn't know we were going to the heirs tour until like
two weeks before we were going we were so privileged to be able to go and miller swift for those of
yes right yeah yes so we're coming up on the one year anniversary of that and looking through our
pictures and videos and thinking you know like oh i'm sad it's over and they're like no dude let's be
excited we got to go like think of that experience we had and we'll never
ever have that experience again, but it happened.
You know, we got to be there and be part of it.
And I think it's all in the way that you, like you said, you choose to see it.
You choose to approach it.
You choose to just really appreciate it.
And yeah, like you said, the snow was really crap.
I had to be out there, you know, walking to and doing things.
And it was just and it was so, it was cold and it was wet and it was mucky.
But then it was refreshing and it was crisp and it had me thinking about, you know,
my daughter's birthday's coming and the winter is kind of, it's.
It can be a nice time.
So I think it really is about your approach and how you choose to see things.
I like Sue's comment here.
My November mantra is depression is not inevitable.
So I can do things to prevent it.
It sure feels like a fight sometimes, like trying to keep your head above water.
But the fact that you are aware and then you have the skills to do something about it,
that's a little different.
I'm really struggling this week.
I haven't been feeling hot.
I don't know what it is.
I don't feel stress.
It's not stress, which I'm so used to.
But I think it's like, I think I'm low iron or maybe I got COVID.
I don't know what it is.
But you could see it.
I just don't look.
Like I just, it's, I know it's there.
And every day has been a struggle to be in a positive mindset.
But it's, I'm working at it.
But I feel like, I'm like, okay.
And every day I'm like getting my head a little higher above water.
But you're right.
We have to know what we need.
This comes down to supporting ourselves and knowing what we needing.
I think also we can't discount.
I know we've talked about the time chase.
we talked about the time change.
I think we can't discount the lack of natural light,
you know, how much that can really affect us.
You know, the days being shorter, being a bit more dark,
really looking for that, you know, that serotonin.
Where is that coming from?
How can I get that?
Where can I feel that, you know, that serotonin buzz from?
I think really digging into where you're going to be able to create that too for yourself.
I find, it's just reading your notes here, O'Don,
you're talking about maybe you need to revamp your day, not just your meals, right?
So that kind of falls in line with that.
A lot of resistance to this, to this tweak this week.
People just wanted to keep doing what they've been doing just because.
And I don't know.
And I guess that's where we started with how we're feeling.
And maybe this is one more thing you have to do.
It feels harder to continue to move forward or what that might be.
But the tweak isn't that much different, right?
Like you were always focused on high protein.
Now you can add protein and fat to your fruit.
It's not adding it on top.
So make sure you're, it's always about just enough.
in the moment. So if you were having a whole apple and now you, now you might want to have
half an apple with some nuts and seeds or half an apple in a boiled egg or half an apple with
some nut butter or whatever. Lunch and dinner are essentially the same. You don't have to make
anything different. It's just about the focus. We talked about this on Monday. It's just about
what you're focused on. Not necessarily you have to make a different lunch than you've been making
before. And essentially, you're not eating any different. You're just switching up with the focuses
at your meal and dinner. And then your afternoon is now just down from one snack, from two snacks
down to one snack, right?
That slight bump up or emphasis on the protein and fat earlier in your day will help you
feel more satisfied throughout your day.
So it's not really much of a change, but people tend to be really resistant when it comes
to this change.
Yeah, I think that they're also finding their routine might be changing.
Like if there was somebody who was really tied to the clock or there was somebody who,
oh, yes.
Somebody who like, you know, ate certain things at certain times because it was comfortable.
It's what I know.
and they were calling it part of their routine, where, you know, routine is important.
Flexibility is also important.
I think it's also noticing when that routine needs to be revamped.
You know, like I always eat my lunch at 12 o'clock.
But now because I had protein and fat, I don't want to eat at 12 o'clock.
Would I have to shake up my whole day now?
Like that's what I mean by also revamping your day.
Like, yeah, your day's going to change.
And this is the setup for later on.
You know, this is a setup for when you are having.
having certain foods at certain times of day because that's what you choose, not because you're
on a program and being in tune to not being bound to the clock. If you have that freedom,
if you understand that that flexibility, you know, sometimes just needs to be there, even, you know,
not that so much you want to be flexible. Yeah. The flexibility needs to be there. Just a reminder that
this is the setup and the lead up for the personalizing the plan. If you remember, that is where
you're checking in at every single meal and snack time and assessing if you're hungry and need to
eat then what is the best option for you still following the guidelines protein at breakfast will
always be your best option for example and then you could you eat maybe you're not really super
hungry but you could eat so you're going to have a token amount and then there's you should eat
so if you don't eat something at least a small token amount you're going to risk going too
long without eating and so that's where you're checking in so this is really getting in tune not just
with when to eat but also how certain food choices affect your satiety level so you're
you're going to feel more satisfied with that protein and fat than just, you know, just,
like just the fruit on its own.
You might just feel like fruit, you know, get replenishers your glycan stores quick and
that's fine, but adding that protein in fat, it's going to make you feel more satisfied
for longer.
And so remember, this is the lead up and the setup to that, which those last two weeks,
and again, if you're going to come back in January with us, fine, but that's where you want
to personalize the plan.
That's the ultimate end game is lose your weight, maintain your weight, actively help
your body um stabilize or solidify your weight and then that third stage of just living your life
is just being in tune with when to eat what to eat how much to eat and essentially that's
building on personalizing the plan that we're going to be introducing yeah i think this week too i wanted
to talk about um like feeling the physical effects of the of the revamp i think you know if if
this was somewhere you know maybe it was your first time doing it and you're just trying to do the
tweak and trying to add in that protein and fat you're just trying to learn i think where we are now
with our members of maintenance have been through this you know a few times um you know with the weight
loss journey and then now now it's really an amazing time to to level up a little bit to optimize a bit
more and see how different types of fat and protein affect you so not just adding the not just adding
it in but how does it affect you you know does a does an animal based protein feel heavier than a
plant-based protein? Does, you know, fat, a fat that's coming from dairy feel different than
fat that maybe is coming from avocado or coconut? I think this is really an opportunity that
to really switch up those protein sources, switch up those fat sources and take it to that next
optimizing level and really see how your body reacts that way. Yeah, like there's that great list.
We keep posting the proteins, carbs, and fats, great list of not just like your traditional
proteins, but, you know, lots of great plant proteins. Your protein adds up.
right like there's protein a little bit of protein in everything so but it but it adds up at the end of
the day it's why you don't have to get caught up and counting and weighing and measuring your protein
as long as you're following the program but I love that changing up your sources stepping out of
your comfort zone and not just eating the things but really feeling the effects of how you feel
after having those things I like this comment here um that you know I love this tweak it really
teaches you to eat more protein throughout the day and it keeps you full too right and it's not even
that you're eating more protein if you think about it because yet protein is always the focus at
breakfast now yes you're adding your protein to your morning snack but you're also taking your two
afternoon snacks down to one and some people are having protein with their vegetables plus their
protein in bed and their nuts and seeds so let's just say you stuck with your you stuck with your
your um your veg snack and you had i don't know a dip or a boiled egg with it and then you just
take that net snack and you add it to your morning fruit snack you're not really changing
anything yet you do feel more satisfied just with adding that protein in the morning and then adding
that making protein the focus out lunch so not that much big of a change people do tend to fall back
into what they like what they love so this is a time to double up on that protein and again so you may
be saying well why weren't we doing that in the beginning there was a rhyme and a reason to why we were
in science behind why we were just having that fruit quickly to replenish your glycogen stores here
but this is again where we're headed is that you know being able to personalize the plan
don't forget the water yes that don't forget all the other basic stuff right don't forget
all the maximizing the drinking the water the managing your stress the sleep the moving your
body all of those things too right and the leafy greens don't forget about those i think we
i think we talk so much about protein and fat and veg right protein and fat and veg protein
and fat and veg and then it's like oh i haven't had leafy greens in three days you know that's
that's got to keep those in there too so yes to the water
and yes, it's a leafy greens.
Maybe we don't mention it quite as much
because we think people just got it.
Yeah, that's a good point.
And fiber, fiber, we need to talk more about fiber.
Fiber is going to be the new protein.
Like the next couple programs,
people will be talking about fiber out there
because protein, yeah, great.
Make sure you're getting enough protein.
But fiber, you really want to make sure you get enough fiber in there.
Any thoughts on warm water versus cold water?
So, you know, one of the comments people are making
is I'm really extra hungry in the evening with this change. And it could be that you're just dropping
the ball in the water, especially with like now it's colder outside. I feel like I'm cold all the time.
Tony said to me on the other day, are you getting enough water? And I'm like, well, I'm trying to get as
much in as possible with tea. And he's like, yeah, but I see you sip your tea. You're not
sipping your tea the way you would drink your water. And he's right. Am I like, like my mouth is dry.
Am I actually getting the same amount of water? I feel like I'm always drinking tea, but you
sip tea throughout the day in smaller amounts that you would water whereas water yeah of course
I'm still sipping but I'm like this you know drink drink drink drink fill it back up again as
opposed to tea I'm drinking it I'm sitting there then it goes cold that I don't drink it then I have to go
back up I have to put it you heat it up again or get some more it's just so no am I getting
am I dropping my the ball in water absolutely and so I think um what I like to do is just is to boil the kettle
and then I drink the tea and then I'll come back later and fill up warm water.
So I'll actually just like different variations of hot water, warm water,
tepid water, and then I start all over again, right?
Yeah, I'm definitely a room temperature warm water person this time of year.
And, you know, even though if you want to flavor it,
sometimes even lemon in warm water is not as appealing.
So I'll do something like ginger or a cinnamon stick.
I know that doesn't sound typical, but those are things that you can add that are like warming
spices that just, you know, it'll help to shake it up a little bit, change it up a little bit.
If you feel like you're drinking this warm, tepid water all day, you know, and you can still jazz it up
with warming spices or warming additions.
It doesn't always have to be just lemon or just fruit.
You don't think of those warming spices.
Oh, I love that.
That's a great idea.
That's a great time.
Here's Karen.
I think I fall into the not to let one night of indulgence turn into days or weeks of choices
that do not align with your goals.
This is a bit of an eye-opener to say it.
Yeah.
You know, this is sort of like also the, the holidays are coming.
There's going to be, like, that's like saying, well, Halloween, fuck it.
I'm just going to eat all the candy until it's gone every day.
Right.
You know, there's always going to be something.
There's always going to be something that is going to throw you off.
It's not about staying on the track.
And I know we say get back on track.
It's not about it's, it's, there's, and maybe that's, and maybe that's,
the wrong thing to say about, you know, back on track.
It's, it's about ebbing and flowing with life.
And if so, if you indulge, then you, you know, you self-correct, not punish, not
deprive, but they've been like, oh, okay, yeah, let me just, because one day of indulging
is not, you can eat all of the things.
You can eat like 50 donuts.
You're probably still not going to gain any weight from that.
You're going to feel sick.
Your weight will be up for a couple days, but then it'll eventually come back down.
The problem is if you eat those donuts, plus then you, you starve yourself, deprive yourself.
Then you were like, fuck it.
Now I'm just going to eat this and do this and do this.
and do that and, you know, the snowball effect that it has.
So this is learning the skills to ebb and flow with life.
Even while you're doing the maintenance program,
the more you can minimize indulgences, obviously, the better
because you really don't want to be challenged in the body.
But this is what that's all about.
That's exactly it.
Or even just recognizing you're doing it in the first place is like,
ah, like that's amazing.
Yeah.
I think this is why this whole conversation, you know, self-regulating.
I know you said self-correcting, self-regulating.
This is exactly what it is.
it's about noticing that, you know, when you do have those indulgences, you're able to just
move on. You're not getting, you just fall way off track that you have to get back on track
if you do all the things. No, I'm just going to regulate myself a little bit. I'm just going to
take a minute, think about it, and move on. You know, I think that's where members are really
sitting. This is why I wanted to talk, you know, a little bit more about self-regulation today
too, because members are really resonating with that, that it's not about avoiding all the
challenges. It's not about avoiding all of the things that come up. It's about being able to
bounce back from them understanding that that's what those are that they're just lips that
is just the ebb and flow like you said and being able to just bounce back from it having having the
courage and the trust and the awareness to be able to just bounce back yeah that's so that's so important
it's really profound honestly truly it's like it's it's habits you dip back into old habits
you want to be like okay that wasn't working for me let let me start get back to my new habits that
I've created right it's about understanding when you do you know want to indulge just
It's a conscious choice.
This is really good.
I'm choosing to indulge, recognizing how you feel, and then helping your body recover from that indulgences.
You know, as we think about the new year, we don't want anyone stressing about what they're eating
and when, just really self-aware.
Sometimes we trash ourselves and there's regret.
It's not like sometimes, like you can choose to indulge and then you can still regret it afterwards
and be like, why?
Like, yeah, why?
But every time you realize that, you're going to do it less and less because you're going to know.
Right?
And like, I still say this about wine.
Like, it just take me 50-something years to realize, like, I just, it doesn't work well with me, but I keep trying it.
You know, the wine's addicted to you.
Maybe it's the opposite.
Maybe you don't want the wine.
Maybe the wine wants you.
You know, I love it.
But then if I continue to drink it and I feel like shit and then that's affecting my whole day, that's not a really great way that I want to live.
You know, I mean, obviously that's something a little bit more extreme.
The same could go with eating at night.
Eating at night is great.
Eating at night is great.
You know, these days, like I want to have some chippies and then it just messes with my sleep.
And then I'm just like, why did I do that?
In the moment, I wanted to have it.
But then, okay, how many more days am I going to do that before I say, okay, Gina, knock it off.
Knock it off.
What are people's favorite herbal teas?
I was just reading that from Sue.
That's going to be a great post tomorrow, Sue.
We're going to find out for you.
We're going to post it right after this.
I like.
Herbal teas.
I like that bengal spice, but I don't think it's not like, it's got caffeine in it.
I like peppermint, but too much peppermint is like upsets my tummy even though it's supposed
be.
I love a good ginger tea with some fresh lemon in there.
You remember the ginger tea we had in St. Lucia?
Oh my God.
I just go back there for a second.
Yeah.
We can go back there in a few months.
So, Dad, if you want.
We were sweating all day, complaining about the heat all day.
not complaining just you know wasn't always comfortable and then at night here we are drinking
our spicy ass ginger tea by choice it was like ginger tea that was boiled ginger like yes it was
amazing i'm gonna get some ginger that's gonna be my tea i'm gonna make some i'm gonna make some oh yeah
david's tea oh yeah david's tea has a good one what's that one that tastes like um which one
is it nut there's a nut tea yes that it was david's i have some downstairs actually i will
I'm going to put this herbal teas post up right after this and I will put the name of that.
It's the nuts.
It's the nuts one from David C.
David C also, I believe, had one called Hot Lips and it was like cinnamon and had like a little
touch of heat like cayenne or chili or something in it.
It just made your lips more forever nuts.
That's what it is from David's tea.
Jody just put it up.
Thank you, Jody, forever nuts by David's tea.
Yeah, Mary's saying celestial season and Spangale Spice is herbal.
I don't think it is.
I think it's got caffeine in it, but I love that.
I love that. Also, David's tea is fucking expensive. I'm not trying to knock the tea. It's great tea. It's good quality. It's expensive. So, you know, you can always just add your own cinnamon spices and your stuff to, right, to your tea. But yeah, that net one is so like whenever I buy it because I might have a tea, my daughter is like a massive tea drinker. Like she loves, she's got like, she's got all the teas. We have a whole tea cupboard. And whenever I splurge on David's tea, only when it's on sale, she's like, oh, okay.
because the box is big but then you open it and you only get like six or eight inside and then you're sad and you don't want to share it and like cheaper than a bag of chips or you know another treat that i think it's like you're you know like you get that tea and then you know and then i make those bags last like i'll double use the bag or whatever um yeah i like that that's a good tea i'm going to go make myself some ginger cut up ginger and put it in the freezer and drop it in the hot water i'm going to boil up some black friday coming up uh to shop david's tea oh that's a good tip that's a good
that's a good tip. Yeah, I'm going to go do. I just do. I drink a decaf English breakfast all day is
usually my go-to. I'm an English breakfast too. I do like English breakfast. Sometimes it's a little
touch of honey. David's super ginger. Yeah, David's got. Oh my gosh. So many. Okay. I'm going to
definitely get this up. Everybody needs to go buy tea and enjoy it and black. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, I think
yeah, that's what a great conversation.
wow, this is such a turnaround. I started a conversation in a major downer now. I feel great.
I'm going to go get myself a warm, cozy mug of tea and get ready for my next meeting and whatnot.
So, yeah, this is how you do, right? And this is why community is so important and conversation is so important. We can get so in our head about things. And it's just a different perspective. And, you know, this could be even like, hey, you and I talked it out. But you could call a friend and be like, I am in a pissy mood. Help me get out of this mood. Don't commiserate with me. And, you know, or let's commiserate for like two minutes.
And then let's think of things we're grateful for.
Let's help me get out of this mood.
Help me see the other side of this, right?
Let me see that.
I'm not trying to be happy about putting my dog down.
Someone was mentioning about a home service.
So that's what we're doing.
We get to pick a date and then, you know, the thought of that.
But it's a, but again, I really want to dwell on.
She was a rescue dog.
And so if I actually had to get her that day or she was on the docket to be, that was it.
She was done.
She'd been in for so long.
They're like,
we're not keeping her one more a day.
So we literally saved her life.
She had the best life.
She lived most of her life leash-free.
She lived on the lake.
She used to walk in the forest every day.
She's made it through, you know, cancer and, you know, dog vestibular or whatever.
And, you know, she had a friend.
We got her, you know, our dog, Mika.
She had a cat.
She had children.
She sleeps in a gorgeous plush bed.
Like, you know, she had a good life.
She had a good life.
So, you know, sometimes it's just really seeing the other side.
Yeah.
And I think at this point, you know, it's not the decision you want to make,
but it's the kindest decision, I think, probably that you can make.
Yeah.
But that's said, you know, you can keep her going and then have a tragic end.
You could try to save her through surgery and then also have an end tragically where
she'd have to, you know, has to wear a cone and she's going to take her forever to heal,
even if it does heal.
Yeah.
Or am I not even
That's what he said
He's like this is the most humane way
To you know
Whenever our co-organized work for lunch
I tell them we have five minutes to bitch about work
And then that's it
Yeah, taking time to stress out
Throughout the day like Atlanta says that
Take time to stress the fuck out during the day
Or take your moment and have your pity party
But then actively seek out
Changing your perspective
Not an easy thing to do
And sometimes it's not appropriate
You just want to be sad
Be sad I'm not going to try to take that away
from anybody at the end of the day, but just being aware, being aware of how, where we're at,
what we need, how to support ourselves. And yeah, interesting conversation today. I'm here
for it. Good. Well, I feel better. So thank you, thank you for my therapy session. I feel
better. Yeah, right. So we're rolling it to week 10 next week. Holy fuck. I know. It's gone quickly.
I feel like it's gone quickly this round. This is because there's more action or it's, I don't know,
I don't know what it is, but does it.
It feels like it totally.
But I think we're feeling like, yeah, it's week 10.
Oh, my goodness.
I can't believe it's week 10.
But I'm like, okay, mom, I'm ready for week 10.
We're all ready for week 10.
We've been showing up.
We're here.
We're ready for it.
Bring it on.
We're ready for it.
All right, everyone.
Have a fantastic.
Thank you so much.
We appreciate you and your comments and coming to join us.
I love these so self-indulgent.
I love these conversations.

I hope so.
