I was just dancing to our intro music. I love it. I love this conversation. I love you ladies. Hi. Hi. I was going to say, are you staying cool? Cause Odette is where I am and we're having a heat wave right now, but I know Kim you're all the way in BC. What are you, what are you doing? It's supposed to be ramping up. It's not that hot today. It's sunny. We have the sun today.

So the weather's better today, but I hear we're heading into a heat wave over the next couple of days, but nothing compared to what you guys are going through. So yeah. We've been keeping the blinds closed and like just keeping the sun out. Cause it's been, I mean, I love, I love heat. I love, I will never complain about this, the summer and the temperature, but it's it, it I love I love heat I love I will never complain about this the summer and the temperature but it's um it it I'm feeling it this week for sure yeah I'm uh here's Reese a

good afternoon just walked in after a day in the massive heat I was just out there I I'm like swimming I'm in the sun I love the heat I I don't know if I'm getting old and I'm finding winters are unbearable, even though they're not that bad. And I love skiing and I love being outdoors, but I'm just like, it's a no for me. So I'm loving it. But I do want to remind everyone before we get started, if you're listening, that scales will be up. Actually, I just finished shooting a little reel. Scales are going to be up in the heat. Most simplistic explanation is like everything in the heat, it expands and our body expands. And in order to keep us alive, our body is, you know, retaining water in order to help us stay hydrated. So there's no kind of way around it. It's just um it's just kind of how it is in fact i was looking

this up someone's like exactly why and really i mean there's a whole scientific explanation behind it but basically so you don't die it's really so you kind of want it so you don't die right and your and your body to and and your, your body, your weight does fluctuate based on your environment and you know, um, your body temperatures. There you go. So you don't die says science. That was very scientific. I don't know my source for that, but, um, here's Leslie. I put my scale in jail until the stinking heat wave passes yeah that's a good way to do it uh anyway i digress what are we talking about what are we weighing in on today odette uh we've got a few things um some one actually one comment from the group i wanted us all to

just weigh in on i saw earlier this week of course we're talking self-sabotage this week and we're revisiting it and we know it can creep up and what it might look like. But a member posted this comment. She said, I learned last week that self-sabotage is a false sense of control where we know the outcome. And I never thought of self-sabotage as a security blanket of sorts, I guess, if that's what it might be. Like it's this, it's this sense of control where, you know, they're not quite ready to let go yet. So maybe they're self-sabotaging. So they feel like they know what's going to happen. If I do these things, I believe that this is going to happen. So let me just see if it's going to happen.

Self-fulfilling prophecy is what it is. Kim and I were just talking about this in the weight loss groups because this is the time where people come back after they haven't been following. And, you know, I think because they see people and like no disrespect, but they kind of blame the program and they don't actually ask for help. They're just like, well, you didn't do this and you didn't do that. And this isn't working and that isn't working. And Kim and I were like, we just want to help them, but they're not helping us help them. And it's Kim said, it's like, they want to prove that. Yep. The program didn't work or yet one girl was like, well, you know, I'm out because, you know, I only have 30

days and I know I'm not going to lose weight. I'm like, well, I guess you won't. If that's your attitude, like I personally have never met anyone I couldn't help as long as they were willing to continue to show up for as long as they need to kind of get into it and figure it out. But I think it's comfortable, right? Like, well, I knew I wasn't going to get that job because, you know, whatever. Well, first you have to apply for the job. You have to be prepared. Go to the interview. You have to like have a positive mind. Like you can't just show up to a job interview and be like, oh, well, fuck, I'm not going to get it anyway. So, well, then of course you're not. So, if there's always drama when there isn't drama, they create drama. And so people do tend to sabotage themselves when they know that they could actually be successful. It happens in the beginning fear of success, I think. And then at the end as well, or fear of failure. And I think at the end, it pops up as this fear of success, fear of success, or, you know, you really want it to

happen. You believe it can happen, but you're going to make sure it doesn't happen just, just because there's that deep belief in you. That's unsure. Yeah. I think, I think yes, fear of success. I think that's a big one. Um, we've been talking a lot while in the weight loss group, you've been talking a lot about anxiety. And this can also be like feeling anxious about not knowing what's to come. And it had me thinking I have a one of my kids suffers with a bit of anxiety. And I was talking to her doctor about it while we were trying to figure out if that's what it really was. And one of the things they said was, does she tend to watch she's and I know which child it is. So does she does she tend to watch the same TV series over

and over again? And I said, Yes. And they said, that's because they know what's coming next. They know what to expect and what's going to come next. And I think this, you know, maybe that's playing a little bit into self sabotage to like, just not knowing or understanding what's coming next. And wanting to be able to control that. I see Kim, your mind is going. Yeah. I'm just thinking about it. I'm thinking like, just from a weight loss perspective, not necessarily in maintenance, but from a weight loss perspective, if you're unsure of the outcome, then, and you don't want to find out that you're not good enough or you can't do it if I do this thing to wreck it then I never find out that I wasn't good enough or I wasn't doing enough or I

couldn't do it and is it like a passing off of the ownership like well I just gave up or I ate this because I didn't want to find out if I could lose weight or not. So I stopped myself in the middle of it. And you know, why we do that? Is it like self-esteem? Is it confidence? Is it like, what is it? But yeah, it's definitely like you said, like self-fulfilling prophecy. But I always say, and I say to my kids all the time, not with that attitude, you're not. So every time they say something, I'm like, and I say to my kids all the time, not with that attitude, you're not. So every time they say something, I'm like, not with that attitude, you're not. Like, oh, I'm not going to do good at this.

Like, not with that attitude. And I say it all the time. But do I really, like, I'm trying to practice what I preach with that more often in that, like, if I don't give myself the opportunity to, then I don't have to, I don't have to deal with the consequences or I don't have to take ownership of it. Well, I've seen this happen with people who've done the program and outside and they'll comment while I like, yeah, finally in forever is bullshit. Gina's program is like, whatever. Like I gained all my weight back. I'm like, it's not a magic pill. And did you not notice getting your weight back? And did you do back on track? Like, why did you gain your weight back? Like,

why do you think it didn't work because you gained all your weight back? Like, tell me, like, please tell me exactly what happened. Cause I would love to know because you learned all the things that you need to learn. You were in complete control. You know, I hate using that word, but complete control of the choices that you've made. So and you should have learned so much. Like, I know what we teach in the program. I know what the guest guests experts are showing up. So, you know, like, how is it?

How is it? How is it a lie? If you know what I mean? Like, please, like, I'm just like, you just you want to believe that it's bullshit because you probably didn't do the things that you needed to do. Or maybe you just didn't believe in it ever to begin with. And now you feel like, oh, I knew she was full of shit and her program wasn't, wasn't going to work for me. Well, of course, it's not going to work for you if you don't do the work that you need to do. Right. So it's, it's can be real,

like, especially, and I, and I don't mean to diss anybody. It's just the reality is that people's beliefs about diet. Could you pull that back up guys? I miss that people's beliefs about dieting are really strong. Here's this Karen. I recommended the program to a friend and she is not following the program, eating poorly and then complaining to me that it doesn't work. Exactly. Yeah. Right. Exactly. Like that. And then you just, you don't know what to say because the conversation is so big. We know, well, what, what's the problem? What really is it? What's going on? Well, and we get that in the weight loss group too, with people that are complaining, they'll

say like, I'm doing all the things I asked myself, like drinking drinking more water I'm eating healthy foods what you know they list a couple of things that they're doing but like you're not you're not all in you're you know you're not you can tell by what they're saying that they've not invested in it and they want something in return and I think that's what's. It's not just to do with like weight loss, maintenance, I think in life in general, you cannot expect anything out of it. If you're not putting anything in, there's nothing for free in life, you get absolutely nothing guaranteed and nothing for free, you need to work for what you have, and you need to advocate. And you need to put in some faith and some of your own sweat equity in order to see the returns a lot of the time. And I think that's something that people kind of forget about sometimes.

So is it that they forget about it or they just don't know? I like what Leslie said. Sorry, guys, I'm slow to get onto these. I think it's so comfortable to say, oh, I'll regain so I can't be proud, right? Like you're not owning it because you don't really believe it. We set ourselves up to fail, believing it's all we know. When we finally say, no, I won't go back. It's, it's liberating. But how do you know that you are doing that? That's the thing. Like, it's easy for me to see that someone is doing this. It's hard for me to even know what to say to them because it's like

such a big conversation, but how do you know that you are doing this? And then what do you do about it? And I think that's the, that's the conversation because I, you know, I've done this. So no, it was a situation with Tony and my new relationship. So I was in a relationship before where I was with a guy, my ex-husband, bless him. Hello. Hi guy. Um, where he just, he never felt worthy. So the minute things were going well, he would like sabotage, he'd pick a fight, he'd do something like he'd something. And so I lived a life where just wait, things would get good and then they would just fall apart. And so waiting for that shoe to drop. And with Tony, I was like, assuming it was going to be the same. So then I ended up being the person who would pick fights

and sabotage things. And you do all do all of that, because it's what I knew for 20 years. And it's like I brought my old baggage from my old relationship into the new one, assuming, even though he's a different person, it's going to be the same experience. But man, it took me a while to realize I was doing that. Someone actually had to point that out. They're like, what are you doing? Like, you're just bringing your old baggage. Tony's not this guy. He's a totally different guy. And I'm just like, yeah, just like this diet is not those diets. It's a completely different thing. But that didn't stop me from sabotaging myself because I just didn't see it. Do you think there's a way we can see it?

I think it's like what you just said, like it took you time to see it and someone almost had to point it out to you. And I think this is why like you're never going to see that in yourself. You're not going to blame yourself for that. You know, I think when we're sitting back, you're not going to see that in yourself. You're not going to blame yourself for that. You know, I think when we're sitting back, you're not going to think I'm sabotaging myself on your own. So I think this is where, you know, when we talk about reflection and intention and come back to the group and see yourself in these posts and see yourself and other members,

I think it's just experience based. It could be time based because you're going to refuse to see it in yourself. And I think the more we can talk about it and put it to the forefront and normalize it. Like, it's okay that, you know, you're allowed to talk about it. You don't have to feel guilty that you're self-sabotaging or breaking yourself down. Let's just normalize it. It's part of the process. Let's just bring it up as one of those issues and associations we bring forward. It's really interesting that you said that because you don't

have to feel guilty about it or ways about sabotaging because we're always like, you should be kind to yourself and you should be, you know, compassionate to yourself. But like, also it's okay that you are sabotaging yourself. And this is where you need to show kindness and compassion in that moment. And I think it's about directing your energy at yourself. And this is where you need to show kindness and compassion in that moment. And I think it's about directing your energy at yourself. Your answer is not out there. It's not out there. I think that's what's so frustrating about the program is like, we just try to give you everything to support you, to help you to whatever the answer is not in there. It really isn't here, whether it's your diet or your career or your personal relationships or whatever that is. You know, it's tough.

That's a good point. That's what I think about specifically with the program. Like nobody as a member can I mean, you can provide feedback at the end of the program, but otherwise you're not doing anything to change the program. We're not changing the program to suit you because we know that this program is going to help everybody. It's the same thing. Like whether you look at your relationships, your career, you only have control over what you are doing. You have no control over what anybody else is doing. And that's where you need to, and then there's that word control again, but that's where you do need to reflect and think like, okay, this is not working. What can I do about it? And that's the part that I think is really hard is recognizing if you actually sit back and think, what can I do about it? You do need to think about the things you need to let go of and don't look at them as I'm doing something wrong,

but that's not serving me. And that could be where the difference is. Like you can to get this done. If you can't do anything about the program and there's certain parts of it that are not working for you, what can you do? And what are you can do everything that is in within, within your power to do, to make a change, whether it be like in life and your family and your relationships, it's doing what you can to make a change, whether it be like in life and your family and your relationships, it's doing what you can to make that change. And I think that's how you get to that realization of self sabotage. Like, Hey, maybe I can stop getting in my own way by being open to this or something like that. Love that. I have two comments here to reinforce that. First of all, Risa, Oh my God, you guys make me really think about these deep issues. Like I've never done before.

I appreciate these conversations. Yeah. Odette and her topics, man. She's been heavy hitting last couple of weeks. And then there's Leslie. When I learned to be patient and forgive myself, I stopped sabotaging. I changed the narrative. Ooh, I love that. It's so important to remove the word sabotage and use pause. I didn't sabotage myself. I paused my personal journey. Words have power. Oh, I love that. I like that. I'm running it down. I'm going to take a screenshot. It's on my screen right now. I'll send it to you, Annette. I got to write a new book. I got to write a new book. We got to change the verbiage on that. Oh, I love that. I love that so much. Okay. Wow. That was a topic. What do we got next? Moving along. If you're looking for flexible workouts, Peloton's got you covered. Summer runs or

Peloton. Visit Peloton at onepeloton.ca. So just coming off of this weight loss by Gina fitness challenge that we had, our activity challenge we had, and we've been talking behind the scenes as a team and we've been sharing, you know, sharing our our minutes in the app we've been sharing our, like the results on our Apple watches. And it really got me thinking like, are these fitness trackers and this new technology, the new measuring of success, like are these fitness trackers almost the new scale? And I was even talking to Jody behind the scenes. And he was saying like, sometimes he feels like, you know, he's got a few,

he's got 500 steps he needs to make. And even though his body's not feeling it necessarily, he's pushing himself to get those numbers. Right? So is it a motivator? Or? I don't know. Let's bring on Jodi. Jodi, jump on with us. Jump on. Ask Jodi that. Is it a motivator? Or is it what is it hi jody hi i don't have my headphones on one sec we can hear you just fine jody oh great great uh this is jody everyone if you haven't met jody uh jody works in our production department he's our sound guy he well he does a lot more than that but um so well i don't know jody what's your opinion on do you find these motivating do they stress you out?

What's going on? So the actual example, I used to run a lot and I would do like about 5K every day when I was in my prime of running. And I've been told by other runners to be healthy is to like run hard and then like walk for a bit and then like go and then slow. But as soon as my Apple watch would give me a like time per kilometer, I'd be like, I gotta go. I gotta go faster. I gotta go faster. So like, I would really beat myself up trying to like get these times for, for nobody, but myself, just like a personal best or like less than five minutes a kilometer or something

like that. And it, I don't really run anymore because I associate it with like that feeling of just like my body being so angry with me and my knees being sore and like coming home and just like, you know? Um, so that was, so I'm not sure what the answer is, but that's my, that's my side. Well, that's interesting. Cause when you were saying that, oh, I was like, I'm not sure what the answer is, but that's my, that's my side. Well, that's interesting. Cause when you were saying that, Oh, I was like, I'm thinking of it as a challenge, right? Like the challenge that we had last week, it caused me to want to go and find time to work out. And then I felt amazing, but I suppose if I, you know, found the time and then was exhausted, that would be my association. So in the moment, did you feel good? And then if you didn't like meet the expectations, did you feel bad? And then how come your overall association to

pushing yourself is like a negative for the lack of a better word? I think my 15 part questions, yeah, I feel like one of our guest experts here all of a sudden. I think it just depends on the individual. So like, I'm quite competitive, especially with myself. So I would sometimes do a run or do like a walk and purposefully not wear the watch. And I found that so much more enjoyable, personally, because i was just kind of enjoying the exercise rather than being just consumed about like the time or the pace and uh and so i think it just i depends on the individual it can be a real motivator like i'm you know trying to close those rings or or what whatever and that's and that's a good thing. Um, but I also have had that attitude of like, if I'm not wearing it, it doesn't count, which is silly because like

the exercise still counts, but I kind of had, if nobody knows I went for a run or I don't share it on this program, then it's like, I didn't actually do it. And which is silly. I know what you're saying. Right, Kim? Yeah, totally. I've done that too. I did that last week during our activity challenge. I forgot to switch my watch on to function. And I'm like, not everybody on our team has an Apple watch to track these things on. So if I put it in our app that I worked out for this long, that I worked out for this long, I still worked out for this long. But because I forgot to hit start for my workout, I was just like, ah, didn't even work out. And Mark is looking at me like, are you an idiot? Like, but like, that's how caught up in it you get that like, I'm not sharing it with people. People don't

know. I'm not getting fireworks that I finished my workout, it must not have happened. It's all in my head. And I feel like it's a validation that you get from that. And I think that it can be harmful as much as it can be motivating. I think it's one of those things, you really need to be mindful of how you use it and how much stock you put into what you're getting out of it. Yeah, I would, I would agree with that. I think it's how you how you frame your use of it, you know, if it's if you're using it, and that's why I kind of, you know, equated it to the scale, like, are we using the scale to dictate, you know, how successful we are and how, how well we're doing

versus using it as a tool? Like, look, oh, look, I did get this many steps in today. Maybe next, you know, maybe tomorrow I can get a few more instead of like, I only got this many, I got to push myself to get the rest. You know, if we're using it, yes, as a motivator, but also as, you know, a, just a tool versus, you know, pushing yourself to the extreme. I wonder if it's the new counting, weighing and measuring, but for fitness, right? So there's a couple here, Shirley, I no longer wear a fitness tracker, it was too obsessive. And I failed to listen to my body, much like what we are doing with eating portions are a feeling paying attention to our body with food

and exercise. Here's another couple. I hate when I forget my Fitbit, right? Seeing those numbers do help me want to get more. And I definitely love a good competition. And then there's Karen, I find it motivating trying to close my activity rings on my Apple Watch. I like this stand reminder because I sit for my job and I can forget to stand up when I get busy. Whenever I wore mine and it would tell me to stand up, I'm like, fuck off. When it tells me to breathe, it stresses me out. I'm like, we need to turn that one off. I guess it depends. I guess it comes down to, you know, how you're using, how you feel when you use it. I know me, I use mine and I was using it when I was working out, but when I get sweaty,

it gives me a little rash. So I haven't worn it since. So that's the only reason I don't wear mine anymore. Um, I think they can be like, why are we then? Okay. Cause why are we then, because why are we tracking our movement? What's the point of it? Why? Great question. Yeah, great question. I think, you know, have we been told that we need so much to, you know, be worthy? Do we believe we have to hit those 10,000 steps to make it count, you know, and is tracking the only way versus thinking,

you know, maybe you only got 5,000 steps in today, but you feel amazing. I think. Well, and it's interesting. Yeah. It's interesting to measure too, because I think about that sometimes in with people in the app and tracking in the app and they're like, but what about steps? And we're like, steps was something that nobody cared about until Fitbit came out with step. Nobody ever paid attention to how many steps they had until Fitbit came out. And then all of a sudden became a measure. It was like, before it was like, oh, monitor your heart rate. How long did you stay in this? Like there was a science behind it. And then all of a sudden it became that steps, but there's people that like, you could get 10,000 steps quite quickly if you're running versus people that get 10,000 steps over the course

of the day, sauntering around. And I just think when I was on my feet in my previous job and I was on my feet and I would walk around my store, I wasn't getting my heart rate up. I wasn't doing anything like productive physically other than I was like not sitting. But like I was getting all of these steps and I'm like, I did not work out, did not get my car. There was nothing. I got nothing out of it, but Hey, I got all my steps in that day. So it doesn't really mean anything just because somebody told us we need to measure our steps. Now everybody's step obsessed, but there's so many more factors to whether you're getting anything out of your workout,

like how long you spend with your heart rate at a certain place and, you know, for cardiovascular endurance and for heart health and stuff like that. Like, what are you trying to get out of your workout? How about if you focus in on those things? Like, why am I working out? What do I want to get out of it? And how do I know that I'm doing what I need to do to get that out of it is more to do with it, I think. Yeah, like Jodi, why did you start using it? Like, what was the purpose? Like

you were running before? Like, what did people do when they just exercised and we didn't have these things? At first, it was the main motivation for me because I well, I like technology. And, you know, it was a fairly new technology. This was a few years ago. And also I had like friends on the app, like on the Nike running app. So that was extremely motivating. The first time I did like less than 25 minutes, I had two or three people being like, Whoa, dude, that's amazing. So like in that sense, it was really great, but it was almost, that's the thing that worked against me is when I wasn't, you know, wasn't in that same shape and was getting like much worse times and then pushing myself kind of past what I was able to do at that stage. That's, that's, you know,

again, that's sort of my personality coming into it, but, um, maybe it's more a matter of setting your goals ahead of time and then using it to just get there. You know, like if, if you, like, if I want to do a 20 minute bike ride, I can start a bike ride on my watch and go bike riding and track it that way. And then it's telling me, Hey, you've done your 20 minutes. And on top of that, you know, approximately this many calories or like you covered this distance or you went this elevation. It's interesting, but I'm not like using it as my main motivation, or I guess like, it's not the be all end all of the exercise. I'm doing it because I wanted to do it. And it's just given me some stats. I don't know. Yeah. I like that. Like, I like when we did our challenge, we were all in a chat group,

right? And I know Kim, you said, was it your team that did everyone hooks, like synced up with their watches? Yeah, we had our Apple, the app. Yeah, we all kind of followed each other on it and synced up so we could see what everybody was doing. Yeah, right. Like, I like that element of it. I guess I suppose here's like someone, Laura, was saying, I don't track my steps, but I do like having the app to remind me to move. Yes.

Yeah. Yeah. I think, I think the technology, I think it's all, you know, to wrap it all up, I think it's all in how you use it and what your intention is and how it's making you feel. I think it's like I said, the same with the scale, the same with social media. Are you, you know, tuning into this and leaning into this and you're getting a positive experience about it with it, or are you feeling like not worthy and not enough and beating yourself up because you're not, you're not measuring up to what that technology is telling you should do. So I think it can be a great tool to help people get started and stay, you know, stay the course as long as we're using it with a balanced approach. So, sorry, go ahead, Kim. I was going to say, I think you need to be mindful of what app you're using and what you want to get out of it too. Because I think like when I used,

I was a runner before too, and I had a Garmin and my Garmin tracked all the things I needed to track for my run. So it could map out my runs and paces. Cause I was training for races and stuff. And it was very good for that. I have an Apple watch and with my Apple watch part of the motivation and that reminding you to move is that you can then pay for Apple Fitness where you can buy workouts. I know that like the other apps do that, too. If that app and that tracker has something else, it's selling you. You need to kind of be mindful of how many of these reminders are things like nudge, nudge. Do you want to buy this from us,? And how much money, right? So like, maybe don't put too much stock because maybe you're getting pressured by that app because

they want you to spend more money on it too. So look at all the bands. I love it. Mine's on the stand. The big question is Jody, are you ever going to run again? I've been biking because I find it's a lot easier on my body. So we'll see. I'll tell you what, I'm not going to run today. I'm not going to run when it feels like it's already due. That would be a mistake. Go to Gina's house and swim.

Yeah, you can go to Gina's house and swim. I'll be there in an hour and a half. Yeah. If you're lucky in this trap is. You cannot leave the house. The traffic. I hear that traffic went up 200%. Something crazy. Like you can't get anywhere.

It's like, okay, I get construction in the summer, but do you have to do it everywhere? Everywhere. It's craziness. yes i am singing yes i am singing i don't sing very often i'd love to sing but i'm a bad singer um okay we gotta go you guys this is fun i can't two we're only great topics i love them both um do you want to talk about what you got do you have anything else to say yeah i just you know we're talking about the heat. And so by Jodi. So

talking about the heat and, and, you know, just having our members in maintenance be super mindful. A lot of those practices that they use, like we talked about at the top in weight loss are just as important now in maintenance, be in tune to how you're feeling. If you're noticing an energy dip, you know, go back to those, those snacks and those foods that can help bring the energy up with, you know, the fruits and that sort of thing. We have a great little snack idea coming up tomorrow, even though it's not foodie Friday, but tune in. And just Yeah, just be mindful of the heat. Tomorrow is the longest day of the year. So I hope everybody enjoys it. It's the summer solstice tomorrow. And then next week, we actually have a giveaway happening.

We're going to be posting that on Tuesday. We really want our members in maintenance to reflect on who they are now, not just where they are now. So we've got a great giveaway and we hope that they come back and they just join us and reflecting and, you know, talking about, like I said, who they are now, what's their identity and, you know, what would they say to themselves? That's going to be great. And going into the long weekend next week again, like it's, yeah. Already? We have next weekend that we have, yeah, the long weekend again. So we'll be talking about that. Oh my gosh. Make your plans, make a plan for yourself.

I want no plans. I want no plans. I want to do well. I want to stay home and do nothing so I can do all the things I need to do around my house. That's what I was a great plan. It is a great, right?
