Starting point is 00:00:00 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.
Starting point is 00:00:34 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. Oh, hello. It's been a day already. We've finished aqua fit. We did.
Starting point is 00:00:57 We fucking almost died. doing off with it. It's no joke here. You think it's relaxing. It's not. Don't be jealous of us because it's really not enjoyable. It's hard work. Yeah. I mean, we have a pretty nice background to look at, but that doesn't take away from the fact that your arms are burning the whole time. Yeah. I thought it was on vacation. Yeah. But we were just sitting here talking about how we forget sometimes to have fun. And I remember on Monday when we're talking about how we're feeling and, you know, people are like, God, I feel great.
Starting point is 00:01:27 This is amazing. Like, really remembering to indulge in the fact that you're here. You made it. That's fun. Okay, we're doing, what are we doing today? We're doing it to ask us anything. We thought that would be fun. So no questions are off limits.
Starting point is 00:01:40 We have some that we pulled off the poster today. But if you are here watching live, I know we've got Linda. She is here. So Linda, if you have a question, go ahead and pop it in the comments. It will be sure to answer it. But we've got a few already from the poster. So Jody, if you've got those, you can. pop those up from.
Starting point is 00:01:57 Hey, I have no idea what these are. So, yeah, because we were talking about what do our members want to know? What do you want to know, right? Because we're always like curating the information, almost like dictating the conversation in a sense. And yes, we've learned a lot about what people need. And so there is science behind that. But really, like, what do you guys want to know?
Starting point is 00:02:19 Yep. So where are we? What we got? Open from. The first question is from Alessandra. Says, hi, what are your feelings on fitness training? trackers. Thanks. I don't know. So I'm wearing a fake, not a fake, but a placeholder or a ring. So I'm going to get the aura ring, which is interesting because it does give you some information about
Starting point is 00:02:37 yourself. I was wearing my Apple Watch, but I found that whenever I worked out, it just kind of gave me a rash. I was a little bit sweaty. I was wearing that because I was having heart palpitations and just like, I don't really, it was just menopause at the end of the day. I think anything that helps you, like we know journaling is beneficial. I would believe. tracking is beneficial. As long as you look at it, like you're collecting data, I would say, like, to myself, what's the point in this? And so I think there's got to be a purpose other than making you feel bad because you didn't do this. You didn't do that. So I think I'm a big believer in data and collecting the data based on like, someone asked me today, we were talking about sleep in the
Starting point is 00:03:18 group. And I know my sleep cycle is 90 minutes. And they're like, how did you figure that out? And I'm like, well, I just tracked it. And I got to know that. 90 minutes is usually my sleep cycle. And if I can't like, if I don't have 90 more minutes to go back to sleep, that's when I get up. So I think it's information like that. I think tracker, we're, you know, we're going to do more with our app. We're going to create a maintenance version of the app.
Starting point is 00:03:40 And in that, we'll have some fitness trackers and stuff. People like, do you use fitness. I do. So I mean, you're always right. Yeah. I've got my wife. I can get my steps and got to get my spin back. And I get my whatever.
Starting point is 00:03:50 And that's not my thing, but you guys love it. Yeah, we love it. And we don't use it necessarily for accuracy. I mean, I don't think. I think I would take my fitness tracker and say, oh, I, you know, hit all my goals because my watch said that I did. I think we use it for connection, too. So we, I'm able to connect to some of our other team members. I'm able to connect to some friends.
Starting point is 00:04:08 And we use it like that. So for me, it's a mini motivator as well. Yeah. But I wouldn't say it's a be all and all in terms of accuracy. But I do like it. It's fun. I like how it's gamified, just like how the app, you know, you get your dancing Gina at the end. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:04:20 You close your rings. Yeah. Same with the watch. At the end of the day, it's nice to see those rings close. So I do enjoy wearing one. You know, I enjoy hitting little milestones when I've done a new workout or push myself, you know, past my best record. But I don't use it as a way to motivate myself or like an accountability. No, not really an accountability thing.
Starting point is 00:04:42 It's just a nice to know. Like you said, collecting data. And it's fun. For me, it's a fun way to keep track of not only movement, but like you said, sleep. Yeah. And, you know, how my body. It's going to weigh or not to weigh, right? Like, what's your intention on the scale?
Starting point is 00:04:53 Do you like seeing the number? Do you, like, does it make you more proud? and you were able to track something in the app. What kind of information is it giving you? Yeah. Yeah, so I like it. I'm pro-finition. What do you use?
Starting point is 00:05:03 Fitness trackers? Yeah, so I use the Apple Watch. I just use what comes with that. And I share, like, is up a few on the team and a few friends, and we can encourage each other a little bit or say, hey, are you still alive? I don't see you moved past your bed yet today. So it's fun like that. Okay.
Starting point is 00:05:21 So next question, Jody. What are your thoughts about using GLP-1s? during maintenance. Yeah, Odette asked me about this one. You know, I think if you do a low dose, like, so the difference between, for example, OZMPIC, and there are other types of GLP1 medication, so OZMPIC is not the only one. The OZMPIC was originally designed to help people who have diabetes and to help with blood sugar. So I think on a lower dose, it can be beneficial. Tony's mom, for example, we saw her the other day and she looked fantastic. I'm like, what's going on? She's like, oh, my doctor prescribed Ozempic. But like, it's such a little bit. It's such a lot. It's such a
Starting point is 00:05:56 a low dose and there is more and more research coming out on the benefits of it beyond just weight loss or weight management. So I think it would just have to be like what's your intention? I think if we're looking at will it help you maintain and sustain your weight? I don't think it's the food that causes you necessarily to gain that weight back. It's how you lose it by forcing and starving and depriving and not addressing, you know, your sleep and your stress. So waking in as It's more like you fall back into old habits, right? Situational change, stress, not adapting to it, not being mindful. What's the other reason?
Starting point is 00:06:36 You said situational change. Yeah. Not putting time into maintenance. Oh, not putting time into maintenance. So it's the time you're putting in, not necessarily taking ozone, but that's a really interesting question, though. Yeah. I think so, too.
Starting point is 00:06:48 Yeah. Because as long as you're like, it depends on why you're using it because you do want to get in tune and you want to work through that food noise. It can help decrease food noise, but when you get off of it, you want to make sure that you're still able to deal with the food noise. So, yeah, I don't have any thoughts. Those are my thoughts. I don't have any feelings about it one way or another. I think it's a game changer for people, and the science is still really new in terms of, I mean, they've been studying it for years and years and years.
Starting point is 00:07:13 It's not like it's new. But I think, again, it depends on which your purpose of using it is. Yeah, and I think it's one of these things where we always talk about having tools, right? and having a full toolbox. And maybe if the GLP during maintenance is something that you, you know, discuss with the doctor, you feel like it's something that could be in your toolbox. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:07:32 I mean, and it works for you. Then that's something that you could consider. I think it's really individual. Yeah. And just maybe it's a better tool for your new toolbox. So just going back to the fitness tracker before we move on. So we have Judy saying, my tracker seems to only value cardio. If I've done a really hard weights workout and I'm exhausted,
Starting point is 00:07:50 and it tells me that I still need to work out because my things. heart rate wasn't going high. That's what I mean about the accuracy, right? You can't take it as an accurate measurement of how you feel. We're always saying, listen to your body. How does it feel? This is another primary. And I can attest to this because Odette has a watch. Kim has a watch and Sonia has a watch. And we're all here and we're like in the water. We're swimming. We're doing Tai Chi. We're doing aqua bit. Your heart rate is up. So it doesn't, a lot of them don't measure really what you are doing in your whole day. Right? It's like, because you guys like, where's the Tai Chi work? because that was a workout.
Starting point is 00:08:24 Like, yes, so many times where you're getting your heart rate out. Yeah. And one more question from Linda, because Linda's here with us. So I'm having trouble keeping traction. I know motivation is just a feeling. Sometimes I feel like it's all just too much and things will never click in. How do people stay consistent when they're feeling everything but consistent? Is it just do it?
Starting point is 00:08:43 I think mindfulness is recognizing when you're not being consistent and why. I think this is like the ebb and flow of life. There are times you feel like everything's aligned in. easy and then there are other times where just it feels like I think making an effort to be mindful where you're at what you need even if you're not doing the things 100% or in the way that you want is of of serious value still right of serious value and you know I remember I shared how with the last couple of years with my kids dad passing there was a moment where I said to tony oh I don't really think I handled the last two years of my life very well and he's like now
Starting point is 00:09:21 you didn't but did I do the best I could and so now looking back I'm like how did I even survive that it was awful so I think sometimes we're just so used to doing all these things and dealing with grief and stress and work stuff and family stuff and whenever we're not really recognizing like what is going on and why we're having a hard time being consistent I think there are things you can do like setting intentions and a day reflections being intentional about what you're trying to do like I think but I think there's got to be a if you are inconsistent here, you are probably inconsistent everywhere, right? Like, it's not just with this.
Starting point is 00:10:00 It's probably a lot of inconsistencies maybe you feel in your life. Or maybe you're searching for something to be more grounding. This is where maybe doing meditation or yoga or do you feel like things are chaos and everything probably is chaos. Yeah, that's true. And I think, you know, that last part of your question is it just do it? And we talked about this, I think, quickly on Monday. It is. Sometimes it is. Sometimes it is just about taking action. And when you take action, that is the consistency coming through. You know, you didn't want to do it. And that would have been a break in your consistency if you hadn't followed through. But then if you just do it, yeah, sometimes you don't want to. You just do it. You take that action and that builds your consistency. And that can make you feel more motivated for the next time. When you do more of what you need to do. It makes you feel more motivated. Yeah, you want to keep doing those things. So I think that is a big, just that just do it. I'll tell you a story.
Starting point is 00:10:50 So we bought this property that is probably going to be a five-year picture upper. And sometimes I sit on the deck and I look around me and I'm thinking, what have we done? What are we doing? And sitting there on the deck with that thought, nothing's happening. Nothing's getting done. But, you know, last time I was there, I grabbed a rake. I started raking some leaves. And that's just taking action.
Starting point is 00:11:13 I didn't want to deal with it. She's about a cottage. Great location. The cottage itself has got good bones, but there's a lot to do. Yes, yeah. There's a lot to do. overwhelming because like when are you going to get that done yeah and you just you just want you want to have that feeling i want to have that finished feeling i want to have that accomplished feeling but if you don't take that action and you just sit on the deck and look out at the mess that's in front of you it'll never come and so you know what we grab the rake we rakes some leaves sorry there's sonya's coming say hi sonya yeah there's uh coconuts well i just say you want it one the other day i didn't mean to interrupt no that's okay anyway coconut guy's gonna leave yeah so just take action just do it linda sometimes that's what it is that's what it is It's just do it.
Starting point is 00:11:50 And then you'll feel accomplished and that might motivate you to get to go on. Yeah, there's never in a right time. I think it's just like, what can you bear and sit with and what can you just like, you're sick at your shit. You're sick of your own shit. You're just like, okay, like for me, if I'm like an downer kind of like pity party, I'm like, okay, Chena, you can take the day and have a little pity party and then let's go already. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:12:09 You've got to be your own champion. Almost talk to yourself like, come on, let's go, right? Like, you don't want to do it. You got to do it. Let's get out one thing after the other, after one foot in front of the other. I know that it sounds so. cliche though but okay next um oh hi from the oh melanie bells hi from the algarv hi in portugal living in the moment in golf this morning i love portugal it's such a great and i mean we want to go
Starting point is 00:12:32 garb you know i think a lot of if you have time to really explore get up some of the coastal towns up near lisbon town he's always traveling yeah she's always i remember that conversation with her with her so many years ago where she travels all the time and is able to maintain her weight yeah um okay joie you have another question for us i think it's the long one one okay okay i'm doing very well on maintenance very consistent with the food plan no food after dinner no cravings and i feel great about every two weeks i plan for a sweet indulgence but it never stops there once i have some high sugar item either in the afternoon or at dinner it triggers about three to four hours later an eating binge for more sweets anything i can find or put together
Starting point is 00:13:12 and i can't seem to be able to control that the next day i'm fine i just wish i have a reasonable amount of dessert and be satisfied will that ever happen um well if i may do well i was going to say i think the very first part of the question is why are you scheduling it every two yeah i think it's i think it's the approach yeah the approach is you keep using it as reward or dopamine hit is something that you're looking forward to rather in the moment and having and so that's really hard like that's that's like um with my ex-husband for example yeah he was like because he's he was abused when he was younger and he didn't get things and his childhoods it was a little rough growing up and he didn't have a lot of things and so when we went out shopping he would
Starting point is 00:13:59 have to like buy everything if he was eating something he'd have to eat all of it because that was his like if I this is my one chance like this is my one chance to have it and have all of it because he really felt like the next time wasn't coming so there could be something deeper going on where one I think there's a bit of depriving because you're scheduling the dessert rather than it's there the dessert is unlimited you can have it wherever you want you can have it whenever you want so then in the moment like if you allow yourself to have it every day you can be like okay I don't need to eat the whole thing because I get to have it today so I think you're reinforcing using it sweets as a dopamine hit and a reward and a treat and then
Starting point is 00:14:45 once you like, once that goes off, it's, it's very hard. And you're also trying to control it. So that's another word. Like, you have control, but you're not trying to control the craving, control your body, control your cell, control your choices, trying to be aware. So I think it's in the approach. Yeah, I would agree that it's, you get your coconut. I would agree it's in the opinion.
Starting point is 00:15:09 Say hi to Sonia. Hi, everyone. Hi, Sonia's getting a coconut. let's hear from our sponsor today it's bombus it's a feel-good company my goodness fall is here kids are back to school vacations let's not even talk about that but i'm still out golfing and my bombus socks there with me every round because they're so comfortable it's like walking on pillows and they actually look good too comfort and style all in one love that bombus has all the fall essentials they have socks, teas, underwear, even slippers.
Starting point is 00:15:43 The marino wool and sweat wicking socks, perfect for cooler days or workouts. And those slippers, oh my goodness, with their Sherpa lining and memory foam, you will never take them off. The best part, though, for every item you buy, Bombas donates one to someone experiencing housing insecurity right here in Canada. Over 150 million essentials donated so far. That's what you call real impact. So treat yourself this fall.
Starting point is 00:16:08 go to bombus.c.c.a. slash the Livy method and use the code Livy, L-I-V-Y, for 20% off your first purchase. Yeah, that's what I think. Yeah, I would agree with you. It's the approach. It's the treating it like a reward, like a treat. So when you have something that's a treat, you want to have as much as you can of it. Because it's, you know, it's a treat. Like you said, you don't know when you're going to be able to get it again. If it's just something that you have, you enjoy, you move on, it just becomes part of normalcy. It's not a treat. It's not a reward. It's just part of what you have. So what I would do is next time you have something like, what is your thought process? And similar to the full mind-fleeing questions, what if you just stop now or if you keep eating it,
Starting point is 00:16:54 how are you going to feel afterwards? I mean, there's no reason why you can't still enjoy some treats and be able to maintain and sustain your weight. So I would start to like really like turn up the volume on that. and be like, okay, what is my mindset with this right now? And then capture, cancel, correct it, right? Like, you're deserving of a treat every day. You're not ruining anything.
Starting point is 00:17:14 You don't have to have it. This isn't like your one-deal time. Like, I think if you kind of talk your way through that. And the other thing is just from a physical perspective, if you can try to have sugar with some fats, it's like the protein and fat will help neutralize, for lack of the better, less scientific word. neutralize the sugar craving so that can really help yeah yeah so i hope you we hope we help
Starting point is 00:17:39 there with that one yeah it's a good question jody next where's tony where's tony tony's actually in halliburton if you can believe it so um tony this tony doesn't tony's got a lot of friends but not really in terms of business the same he's got the same friends that he had in like public school in high school and they're all amazing and wonderful but he needs to really spread his wings and branch out. And so he's trying to meet other people and other entrepreneurs that kind of just handle the same kind of stress and stuff that he's dealing with. So we signed up for this thing called Canada Bridge, which is where you kind of travel and you meet other entrepreneurs and you go through this really deep, like, thinking about your seals and your forum and stuff. So
Starting point is 00:18:20 he, he's in Halliburton, Ontario right now at a lovely, like, camp, but he, his accommodations look a little different than ours. I think he has a roommate. They're a little shy of a bunk bed, but that's where Tony is at. So we are here. One is sort of like a team building. So Kim is here, obviously Odette and Sonia, who works in sales. And then also we are going to be doing retreat here in April. So just one of many that we're working on.
Starting point is 00:18:50 So that's why we're here. Yeah, planning it out. What classes we want to do tonight we are going to go pick our own food and we're going to cook our own dinner. Yeah. So it'll be interesting. Yeah, we get to walk up to this beautiful place to watch the, It's all about wellness this place.
Starting point is 00:19:03 It is. You'd say that too. It's really a wellness retreat and part of it is just being active while you do, you know, enjoy some of the things here. Yeah. So we're going to take this walk up through the garden. Like you said, pick our food, make our food. But, you know, not letting go of the wellness part of it and getting some activity at the same time.
Starting point is 00:19:21 The key is like this lets us get a handle on it, which obviously is a huge luxury that other people don't have. But I get that taste of like that in the moment and, you know, hoping to bring that back. with us. This place is called Give us your, give us your body for a week and we'll give you back your mind. And so it's very wellnessy. No one's, we're about the only ones on our phone. No one's really on their phone. There's no TVs in the room. There's like no Wi-Fi really anywhere except a couple spots. And it's really just about like slowing down and connecting. Yeah. Connecting, reconnecting. Yeah. But then we're like, how do we do that? How do we do that in a regular when we get
Starting point is 00:19:59 home right how do you do that at home that's that that piece one of the things i learned about and i know i mentioned it on monday was just my brain is constantly going to the next to the next to the next it's really hard for me to be in the moment i used to practice that a lot and that's the thing i used to practice it and i haven't practiced it so anyways that's yeah that's a long story to where tony is he ain't here no he's having fun slapping on some deep bug spray and he's got a hoodie and track pants on he's got a hoodie and track pants on where he is I mean, it's nice to fall with it. It's October 1st today, by the way.
Starting point is 00:20:31 Yeah, but Kim, but Kim has a question. No, Kim is watching. But Mary asked the question. She wants to know when is the app for Eminem coming. I use the app all the time. Yeah, so that's going to be, we are, so we're launching our new app in January. So we've been working really hard on the new app, which is really cool. It's a whole new look.
Starting point is 00:20:49 The stuff that it's going to be able to do, the AI feature in there is amazing. So we're structuring the program where you can basically have access to all the information at any time. So you could pop into, on the app, watch the guests in weight loss. You can watch the guests in maintenance. We're working on that third program, that lifestyle program. So our app is going to, we're doing first gen January. And then by the spring, we'll have the, or maybe halfway through the winter program, we'll be able to roll out the maintenance app.
Starting point is 00:21:17 Yeah. So let's get that, the main app, switched over, up and running, and they get the maintenance. Yeah, which seems like it takes forever. But that's how apps are. Like, you can create a really simple app, but our app, believe it or not, is not very simple. It's easy to use, but there's a lot behind this scene. Yeah, it's going to be great. I think you have another one, Jody, another question for us.
Starting point is 00:21:37 I follow the plan during the day, rarely hungry for PM snacks, but I have my token bites. I often feel like a piece of fruit right after finishing my last meal. Is that okay to have? I wouldn't do that, and I'm not into like spiking of blood sugars and whatnot, but it is causing you, if you have fruit at the end, it is causing you to have something sweet. It does affect your blood sugar, and it could have you wanting to. more sweets. And so if anything, maybe I would have it. I mean, it's not the end of the world. If you get a, let's say you did berries on a salad, you did some grilled pineapple at dinner or some
Starting point is 00:22:10 sort of food at dinner and you're saving it for the last. But my question would be, why are you craving the sweets and you're feeding into that? And then are you, why are you saving it? Are you looking at it as a treat? So to me, that would be more like, again, big picture, or losing your weight in a way. You want some fruit, have some fruit at whatever time, right? And really being in tune to your body's needs. This is kind of like scheduling the fruit
Starting point is 00:22:35 or scheduling the sweets after dinner. So I would just be mindful of that. It's not about being hungry for PM snacks, right? It's about knowing that your body's getting what it needs and then kind of what you're learning that routine. And remember how it builds and things change in the end where you are then once you move on from active maintenance, just wake up a good feel to go about your day, making choices based on how you feel.
Starting point is 00:22:59 So if you don't feel like your afternoon's not hungry for them, you can have them later. And if you feel like something sweet in the afternoon before dinner and be like, why is that? Do they need to drink water or maybe I'll have a little something, yogurt with some, something. Do you know what I mean? Yeah. I think you had to be mindful of trying to control or manipulate to get the things that you want, not to say that's what you're doing, because you really want it's bigger than that. Why do you want fruit at the end?
Starting point is 00:23:25 of your meal. Yeah. It's coming through in the comment here is I often feel like a piece of fruit. Not that I'm hungry after dinner. Yeah. So it's that craving. It's that sweetness. And I think like you said, sit with it. What is the intention with it? Where is that coming from? And ask yourself when you have sugar, it makes you want to have more sugar. When you've eaten too much like portion wise, like insulin is insulin. So your body, you know, uses insulin to make sure you're, when you're, it's breaking into foods where the food goes, for example. And so it does that with sugar. So whether it's a small amount of sugar and the amount of insulin needed or it's a large amount of foods and the amount of insulin needed.
Starting point is 00:24:00 Sometimes you could be overeating meals and then that's causing you to crave more sugar. That's why I would look into that. Yeah. So we have one more from Kim. So she says, is there a timeline for maintenance or is it the weight or is it like the weight loss program where it's a feeling and you know you're ready to progress the next set? That's a good question. So new science is coming out taking about, it takes about two years.
Starting point is 00:24:23 for someone to reset their set point. But that's like, that's not following the structure of the living method, right? That's just counting, weighing and measuring, trying to maintain, sustain your weight, about two years. So we're fast-tracking. You're fast-tracking all of that with the maintenance program. But just because your weight is done, like, solidifying doesn't mean that you aren't still working through the mental stuff as well.
Starting point is 00:24:44 So you want to do as many rounds as the program until you feel like really confident to get to a place where you can personalize the plan, wake up, look, and feel good, and just kind of be like, I got this. And this is where maybe you're not asking them for questions anymore. You're not weighing yourself anymore. You just are living a life with just like free and into. Yeah, and we've heard from so much, Kim, say hi, Kim. Hey, guys. Gangzel here.
Starting point is 00:25:08 We've heard from so many of our members that, you know, they were waiting for this line in the sand to jump over. They were waiting for it, waiting for the switch to flip and they knew right away. And I would say almost every time they say it's a feeling. So they get to this point where it's like, okay, I think I'm ready to move on now. I think I feel I'm feeling confident. I'm feeling calm. So whether that takes you one maintenance program or two or three or four maintenance programs, we want you to get to that feeling before you are looking for a definitive line in the sand.
Starting point is 00:25:38 Yeah, you want to live the living way, but you don't, I don't want to see you three years from now. And you're like, oh, I'm still following the food plan. Right? Like, that's not what that's about. It's a really understanding pick that next step. You've lost your weight. You've actively maintained your weight. now you're going to live your life.
Starting point is 00:25:53 So I think that is like being, but you could also feel like you are there and then shit against the fan with your life. And then you have to like, you're having a hard time. We're falling back into all the habits, whereas maybe it was really easy for you to maintain your weight for like two years
Starting point is 00:26:07 and then something happens. And then all of a sudden it's harder or that's where, you know, you go back to everything that you've learned and maybe you need to, you know, bring it back to basics for a while. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:26:17 It's a great question. Yeah. Great question. So I hope we got to, I think we got to, Most of them through the comments here. Oh, what has been your favorite treatment? That's Jody's question.
Starting point is 00:26:26 I just had, so what's included here is like you are forced to do a treatment every day. You're forced to be forced to whether it's a body scrub or a wrap or a, like a massage of some sort. So mine was today. I had this woman who was so lovely. She actually, Kim's a, so first of all, you're famous here. Like that. My massage girl was like, do you know Kim? And I'm like, yes.
Starting point is 00:26:50 She's like, oh, I love. Kim, she's so wonderful. Like, yeah, so she gave me extra, like, massagy stuff. She gave me stretching. She just, so, you know, that's not included. That's your friend of Kim. And I was like, okay. So that was probably my favorite.
Starting point is 00:27:04 I think it's not anyone treatment or activity. Tai Chi was really amazing. Yes, I was like Tai Chi was not a treatment, but an activity yet. Yeah, in my art class the other day, right? I talked about it. I haven't posted the photo. I'll show you guys. Anyway, in my art class where we went and gathered sticks and stones and made art.
Starting point is 00:27:20 That was really useful. I think it's that you're forcing yourself to go when, like, it's not a lie on a beach package. All of it. I think that it's collectively the whole idea behind it is like kind of a force to take care of yourself. I think my favorite treatment, because I wouldn't have naturally indulged in one was the body syrup.
Starting point is 00:27:41 I feel like that's not something I would indulge in at home. But coming here and knowing that it was part of the plan, you could put it, you know, you could have picked it anytime. had it at the beginning of the week. They're just going to set the tone for the whole week. So that was probably my favorite. Going out of my comfort box and thinking, I don't think I need a tone to rub me with some, you know,
Starting point is 00:28:01 sugar and salt, but it really set the tone for the whole week. So that was my favorite. In terms of activities, we're loving being in the pool. I'm loving. Oh, the aerobas class. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:28:11 We've been doing a few yoga classes, and it's so nice to see it's every age. It's every body. You're thinking you're going to go and do some aquafit when you get home. Yes. I think that's my new activity. I think Aquafit is my new activity. I would never would have thought of that before.
Starting point is 00:28:26 You know, I had seen it done in the past at the community centers and then, you know, local fitness club, but I'd never joined. And now doing it here almost every day, I think that's my new activity. Yep. I think I'm bumped. Trying to do something new. Yeah. So we're over time. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:28:42 So the takeaway this week that might also maintenance is like, where are you at? What do you need? Right. Have fun. Yeah. That's where you're at. and what you need. Consistency, routine, mindfulness, anything else?
Starting point is 00:28:55 No, be curious about it. Be curious. Lean into being mindful, not just around portions, but even though that's so important and that's the tweak, being mindful about, like you said, what do you need, you know, how are other parts of your life going, your sleep, your movement, your stress management,
Starting point is 00:29:11 just lean into all of that and find what works the best of you. Yeah, I think everyone needs to come here. That's what they need to do. But if you don't have the luxury of doing that, well, how can you bring that home with you? Right. Can you find that piece at home? Well, we're going to be home in a few days.
Starting point is 00:29:21 Yeah, we're trying to figure out how to bring that home. So if we can figure it out, we'll share it with everybody. Yeah, well, thanks everyone for joining us. We love your questions. That's always fun. Yeah. And that's it. So next week is we're rolling into it before.
Starting point is 00:29:33 No, you can call me anytime. Okay. All right. Next week, we're moving into week four. Downsizing. We won't talk too much about that yet, but just know it's coming. It's here. You know what's coming because this is the prep for that, right?
Starting point is 00:29:45 And pay attention to, like, the zen and the consistency now. So those feelings that pop up next week, right? Where are you at? Have you really worked through, right? Some of the thoughts and feels that you have, especially tied into portions. So that would be really interesting. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:29:59 And we love hearing how members have, when they've shifted from weight loss of downsizing, even though they're going through the same actions, it can feel so much different. Yeah. So really excited about that one. Okay. That's it.
Starting point is 00:30:07 Amazing. Okay. Bye. Bye, everyone. Thanks. Have a great. Rest your day. Have a great week.
