I'm Gina Livy and welcome to the Livy Method podcast.
This is where you'll have access to all of the live streams from 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. Welcome to the Tweak this week. Here we are, week 11 of the program. I don't like to say
winding things down because we don't wind things down. We ramp things up and we literally catapult ourselves out of the end of the program, setting ourselves up for success
moving forward. But this week we introduced a new tweak. It's called personalizing the plan. I know
you all have a lot of questions about it. So we're going to dig into it today. Joining me as always
is Kim, who is the manager of our weight loss program. She knows the ins, the outs. She's got her pulse on
everything happening in the group. She knows what you need. So hi, Kim. Welcome. Hello.
Are you here yet? How are you? No. My flight leaves at six o'clock tomorrow morning. I will
see you tomorrow. I'm a little bit of a hot mess trying to get ready for that. Same. And I'm here, so I don't know.
Kim is over on the West Coast, and she's flying over to us over here in Toronto area to join our big team summer party that's happening on Saturday.
We always do it this time of year.
So at the end of the year, we did our fall program, our winter program, oursummer program, and now we are ready to party. So I'll be seeing you soon. Okay, so let's get into the tweak this
week, week 11. We are personalizing the plan. The only real difference off the heels of our revamp
week and tweak for week 9 and 10 is that you no longer have to force yourself to eat those token
amounts if and when you're not hungry. There's no longer a star of the show when it comes to your lunch and your dinner,
and you have the same flexibility in terms of snacks that you had last week. So how are people
feeling about the tweak this week? Let's get into it. I think, yeah, we have a lot of people that
are jumping ahead and looking forward into the summer.
So I think we'll probably touch on that a little bit later, sort of the bridging the gap information.
But as far as this tweet, there's definitely some nerves around kind of going on their
own.
They look at it as going on your own.
So I think the big thing to point out, which we've, you know, you've shared in your lives
and everything that personalizing the plan is not going off plan and it's not doing your own thing.
So there's no reason why you should need to be nervous or you need to worry about gaining
weight.
You are literally just choosing all the same foods you've been doing while you've been
following along the, you know, you have flexibility in your snacks.
That doesn't mean that your veg snack is a bag of potato chips.
It means you can select from the choices of things that you've been eating this whole time on the program,
whether it be the original food plan snacks or the snacks that we introduced during the revamp,
with the exception of it's always a benefit to add that fat to your fruit snack, that fat and
protein to your fruit snack. Yeah. I think what happens is people sometimes will use this as an excuse to fail. They are looking for a reason to fail. And we've had
some people say, you're setting me up for failure with this tweak. If your perception is that you
are doing your own thing, you couldn't be more incorrect about that. This is following all of
the guidelines, doing all the things I see. Um, Celine, I have to be careful with this tweak. I don't want to fall back to habits of not eating
enough during the day. So that's valid, right? But this is not, you are not going to do that.
And I'll tell you why, because you are checking in at breakfast. You are checking in at morning
snack. You are checking in at lunch. You are checking in in your first afternoon snack. You are checking in at morning snack. You are checking in at lunch. You are
checking in in your first afternoon snack. You are checking in in your second afternoon snack
and you are checking in at dinner. And while you are checking in, you are taking time to assess,
am I hungry and need to eat? Or I'm not really sure I could eat, so let me have a token amount.
Or I'm not hungry, so I'm going to choose not to have this meal or snack unless I'm going to go
longer than three and a half hours without eating. This is what I mean by it's more work than you
have ever done. And then when you do make a choice of what to eat falling within the guidelines,
so say for that more like breakfast is still focused on protein. So nothing changes there.
For a morning snack, you do have more options. You can have the fruit, ideally combine it with a protein and fat or any of the other snack options we introduced last week.
Lunch and dinner are still the same components, regardless of whether, you know, your vegetables
are the star or protein is the star. Like before you're still including vegetables, proteins,
leafy greens, healthy fats. Lunch is still the time to add in those heavier carbs. If,
and when you feel you need them, although we are following the summer tweak in general. So decreasing those heavier carbs, bumping up your
fruit intake, right? And then once you've decided if you're hungry or not, once you've decided what
you're going to eat, then you're going to be mindful about those portions, asking yourself
those four questions, right? Of how this, how's this portion for me? How am I feeling while eating?
How did I know when I was done? How do I feel walking away with the goal of eating just enough?
So that's what I mean by if your perception is you are just doing your own thing, you are on your
own. And if you're concerned about falling back into old habits, which is totally valid, you can
see now by explaining that you're checking in at every meal and snack, assessing your hunger levels, choosing the foods that are going to give you the most bang for your
buck within the parameters of the program, and then doubling down on asking those four
questions.
And then on top of that, maximizing all the other things that you can do, being consistent
with your water and your supplements, managing your stress, moving your body, making sure
you're getting good quality sleep and whatnot, right? So that's why with this, if your takeaway is anything less
than what I described, you might be looking for an excuse, or you might be looking for a reason
to fail, or you might be dealing with some trust issues and thinking that in personalizing the plan,
you are doing your own plan, and therefore you do not trust yourself to make the choices that you need to make. And this is why this is doing all of the work. This is more work
than any other week or tweak that we have implemented. It is also probably the most
effective because it combines everything that you have done over the last 12 weeks, right?
So I just want to be very clear about that because I know for many
reasons, this, this, um, tweak freaks, freaks people out, right? Um, here's Nazeen. I love
this tweak. It really helps me to see how much I've internalized. To me, this is what we have
been working to throughout the program. Exactly. Exactly. Right. So this is also the tweak that
you're going to use throughout the summer. If you're looking to continue moving the doll on the scale on your own, it's also the setup
for when we reset again in the fall. And it's also what you're going to use in maintenance as well.
So you really want to really embrace this tweak. So make sure you ask as many questions
as you need over the next week in a bit. Okay. What else? What else are people this week?
I would say with this tweak, one thing to keep in mind is that this, this is the goal. This has
been the goal for this whole program is to get to the point where you are in tune, so in tune with
what you need. And this is why at the beginning of the program where people asking, can I just
get a food plan? What, what should I be eating every day? Can I, do we have a menu? This,
the entire program and everything that we've learned in the last 10, 11 weeks has
been setting you up to create your own custom personalized food plan based on what you now
know through mindfulness that your body needs.
So this is, this is the ultimate goal to get so in tune.
So really dig into this, personalizing the plan and try not to go with what you like.
And we got a lot of questions like, is this the part where I can start having overnight
oats again?
Can I have fruit for both my snacks?
Do I have to add fat in?
I like my fruit on my own.
Can I go back to snacks in the afternoon?
It was easy.
And there's a lot of people that are looking back to the past 11 weeks and thinking about
what they liked or what they perceived worked the best for them as far as
tweaks are. And they're wondering how they can incorporate those into personalizing the plan.
And it's not the actual tweaks that you're incorporating, but how you felt when you were
doing those tweaks. So you know, if you're looking at downsizing, you're not looking to eat less and
downsize. What you want to get from that tweak
is being super in tune with the portions and that feeling of having just enough. So you're satisfied
and not full or stuffed. You know, if you're looking back to the protein and fat revamp tweak,
what you want to get out of that is how did it make you feel when you had that protein and fat
in your snacks, when you switched up, when you focused and you took those oats out of breakfast, how did it affect you for the rest of the day? And if you feel like that
protein and fat didn't affect you and the protein for breakfast didn't affect you for the rest of
the day, digging into why, what, what, what's the difference between eating the oats? Why do you
want the oats? Is it because you felt different when you ate it? Or is it because you like that?
And that's the easiest thing for you to prepare. And how are you making those oats too? Are you making them protein rich?
So there's a lot of things to think about that you've learned over the last 12 weeks that you're
implementing for this week's tweak. Well, we can go back to downsizing. For example,
when people were downsizing, they still had days where they weren't even hungry. And this is about
really being in tune to the fact that your body's needs change every single day, right? So one day it might look like the basic food plan.
The next, it might look like the revamp the next, you know, something completely different. So this
is why it's really about being in the moment. You are not adding in any new foods. This is not to
Kim's point where you start getting into what you'd like, what you didn't like, what's more convenient.
It's like, what's going to help you continue to move the dial on the scale?
Unless your plan for the summer is to take a more relaxed approach and just kind of like
maintain, just kind of chill throughout the summer.
Like if you're going here, there or whatever, that's totally fine.
But we're not done yet.
You want to follow through on the rest of the time we have left. You want to follow through all the way to the last day of day 12
and really focus on getting and keeping that scale moving. You don't want to look back and be like,
Oh, I should have done this. I should have done that. I could have done this, could have done
that. You want to follow through. You want to finish stronger than the day that you started
and staying true to the, to the, to the food plan is the way to go with that. You don't want to be doing
this thing where you're doing your own thing. So this is why this is not doing your own thing,
but this is being able to customize it to just dig a little deeper, level up even more and be
even more in tune to your body's needs. Yeah. Personalizing the food plan is not going off plan.
I think that's the biggest takeaway. That's the biggest takeaway.
I hate to say it.
Here's Jan.
But after five programs, I'm still a little uncertain about the afternoon snack, nuts particularly.
When I'm eating that snack, if it's just nuts, it's about a shot glass of nuts.
If it's a combination, and am I eating less than that?
Do I eat this snack to satisfaction or something else?
So when we start again,
this is sort of you have to let go of what we've done in the beginning. Here we are in week 12.
So if you're choosing to incorporate nuts into your for one of your snacks, you can have nuts
or seeds or you can have nuts and seeds. You really want to be mindful about the portion
size of those nuts. So in the beginning,
when it comes to, you know, new people following the program, it's so easy to overeat nuts,
especially when people are not in tune to their satisfaction levels. Nuts are really jam packed
with nutrients, protein and fat, they're quite satisfying, but they take about an hour and a
half to two hours to break down
and digest. So it's really easy to overeat them in the moment. So, but now if you're here,
how many programs later, now, if you're here in week 12 of the program, you should have a good
sense of how many nuts you need to eat in order to feel satisfied. Right. So it's, it's, it's the reason why we put in that,
um, that amount, like a shot glass, you know, a shot glass of seeds or like a handful or 25
nuts give or take depending on size. I mean, macadamia nuts compared to peanuts, obviously,
right. It's just a quick measure for people when they're starting out on the program with where
you're at, it should
be all about being in tune to how many you need in order to feel satisfied. And it's not because
of the high calorie, we're not worried about calories when it comes to nuts. We are worried
about the fact that it can be very hard to digest when you are first incorporating them into your
diet or you're making changes in your diet. So, so it's like give or take, right? Like
you shouldn't be eating a whole, no one needs a whole bag of pistachios. I personally can eat a
whole bag of pistachios because I love them. Um, and so do a lot of people. Nuts is one of those
things where people can easily overeat them. Like the people get carried away with the,
the nut butter on a
spoon, peanut butter on a spoon or whatever. They end up eating the whole bag. Um, so it's just one
of those things that we put in those guidelines. So it can be less, it can be more, you really,
just like any other snack, you want to be eating enough to feel satisfied. So if you do a shot
glass of seeds and find that you need to do a little bit more than do a little bit more, right?
If you find that you've, you've portioned out a shot glass of seeds and you don't, you're satisfied after eating
half of that, then you're, then it's all about satisfaction. Portions are always what they feel
like and never about what they look like. But nuts are kind of like a one-off in a particular case
that we try to give a little bit more direction when it comes to the portions. But that's really
only the first few weeks of the program. As we move forward, it gets, it's, it's about being in tune to how much you
need. It is. Yeah. And being in tune, like it's, it is interesting how in tune you get with nuts
specifically. I noticed because like I had the other day I ate five almonds and I was like,
oh, that's enough. I was not interested in eating more. And I thought that's not very many,
obviously it wasn't that hungry. That was my token bite or whatever. But I was in tune with it. You
know, I could eat a handful or like you said, a bag of pistachios, but it's really about listening
to your body. So mindless, I know we all keep them in our car and stuff like that. So we have
a snack on hand. I can if I'm driving from downtown home, I can eat a whole container of
them mindlessly while I'm driving. So, you know,
you've got to be mindful of that too. Yeah. Suzanne's putting out nuts and cheese. Cheese
is another one, right? Like people are like, how do you know if you're having too much cheese? Well,
you will know, like, you know, when you've had too many nuts, you know, when you've had too much
cheese, like you're adding cheese to everything. It's just cheese, cheese all the time. I love
cheese, which I do love cheese. I tend to eat a lot of cheese. But if you think that you're eating too much of something at this point in the program,
like you can trust that you probably are eating too many nuts, you're probably eating too much
cheese, and then just try kind of scaling it back a little bit. Again, this is not about calories or
anything about anything like that. This is just about you know, you love cheese. So you tend to
overdo it on cheese, you love, you know, peanut butter. So you tend to do overdo it on peanut butter. You love
nuts or seeds. You tend to overdo it on them. So just being mindful of that, just being mindful of
that. Okay. What else are people dealing with right now? Well, I think tomorrow we do have
the information coming out on maximizing your personalized plan, which I think will be helpful
for people. But I think the things to keep in mind with that is just maximizing your food choices, making sure you're
including we have people asking, like, now that we don't have a star of the show at dinner, do we
have to have protein? Do we have to have healthy fat still, and you still want to be putting
together those meals, we don't need to have, you know, the protein outshine the vegetable at dinner
or lunch anymore with this, but you need to make sure you're including all the components. And to
the people that are asking, yes, leafy greens are still important. Yes. Nothing changes. Yeah. Yeah.
Putting your meals together. You don't necessarily need to focus on a star, but you're still using
all the same kind of foods. You still want to make sure you're getting the most bang for your buck out of those meals, choosing nutrient rich foods,
being mindful when you're eating something of how long it takes your body to digest it,
how you feel after eating it. If you're eating a little bit later, it's the summertime,
we tend to eat dinner a little later. If a big steak makes you feel heavy afterwards and like
you're taking forever, don't, maybe don't have that. If you're having a later dinner,
choose fish or something like that. That's a little bit easier to digest. So yeah,
I don't want to get too much into that because we haven't rolled out that post yet. Um, but there are ways you can kind of level up personalizing the plan. I'm just looking for it. What week were
we on? We're week 12, week 11, page 239 in the book um it talks about things that i've been sort of talking about
or um you know kind of all along how long certain foods take to break down in your system
right to kim's point talking about like if you're going out on a friday night you want to go dancing
you might want to order fish that can be digested within like 40 minutes as opposed to steak that
can take like five plus hours.
That's sitting in your guts, making you feel all heavy and like, oh, my God, I just, you know, the last thing you feel like doing is going up and dancing.
There are other things, though, right?
This is talking about fruits.
Again, this feeds into the summer tweak.
Fruits can break down in your system in about 20 minutes to half hour, whereas potatoes or something else can take a lot longer.
So if you're looking for quick energy, feeling your energy drain drained. So just so the idea behind that also things like
tips for digestion, you know, checking in at meal and snack time, being conscious of your portion
sizes, chewing your food properly, relaxing, eating your food in a nice calm state, practicing
good posture, when you're consuming your
food choices, you know, why we're avoiding eating late at night, walking after eating, those types
of things. So this list tomorrow is not meant, I think the takeaway here is not meant to stress
you out. It's just there's always more you can do. There is always more that you can do to be
proactive. Okay. I like this next post that you want do to be proactive. Okay.
I like this next post that you want to talk about transitioning to trust.
So let's talk about people a little nervous for this tweak, even though it's the same.
Really, the only thing that changes is you're not forcing yourself to eat those token amounts.
Why do you think people have such a hard time with trusting? I think that specifically people that have been on diets before, those of us that have
gone 30, 40 years of dieting and trying different things and have been on that roller coaster
of losing weight and then gaining it back, losing weight, gaining more back that end of the program. That was my
biggest thing. When I, that whole trust issue of, I just remember I'm being on things in the past,
like what now you either in the past, you look at something, you either have to be a lifetime
member and do this forever or by when the diet's over, you're done. And we give you no skills to take with you. So those are the kind of experiences a lot of people have had. And I think that's where the trusting yourself at, at no point have they been sort of had their hand held in learning how to trust yourself. And that's where I feel like this program is different. And we've been working on that mind body connection.
And this is really trusting yourself is almost like a tweak into itself.
It is sort of the next phase after this is, you know, taking everything you've learned.
It's been like a course you've, you've taken all this in, you've learned so much about
your body, you've been listening to your body.
And it's kind of like any relationship that trust builds over time. And that's kind of the next phase that we want to work on specifically at
the end of this group where we have a little bit longer of a stretch. I know it's a little bit
scary. It's like, you know, there's two weeks between the winter and the spring, you're jumping
out of the nest, you're going to jump right back in two weeks later, you can't, you know, people in
their minds, I can't do too much damage in two weeks. Why not? But seven weeks, I think, is a little more daunting for people.
And that's where some of the issue is.
Well, I'm just thinking it's like learning to swim, right?
You're drowning, you learn to swim, and then you take swimming lessons, you get better
at swimming.
But that doesn't mean that you're done.
You practice swimming, you get better at swimming.
You don't go back to when you didn't know how to swim.
You have those tools. It's just
a matter of practicing and to keep implementing the things that you have done. If you have reached
your goal, you are not done yet. You have got to put time into solidifying your weight. You have
to run yourself through the maintenance protocol, which is lose your weight, solidify your weight,
put time into maintaining your weight, trusting the waters, learning to trust yourself before you move on finally and forever and living the Libby way. So let me
shout it from the rooftops. Just because you've reached your goal doesn't mean that you are done
with the program or the process. You have got to take maintenance seriously. Amazing conversation
with Warren and Melanie yesterday. They both crushed their, they did the program.
I think they lost like almost 40 pounds each, if not more. And then they just were like,
I'm good. Interesting. Warren was like, I'm good. I'm fine. I'm just going to go off and whatever.
And Melanie was like, I'm going to keep signing up, but didn't really follow through on the
program. But I love the fact that she was still like paying attention, you know, just keeping up
with what we were doing. And then they gained their way back and you will gain your way back. If you don't follow through on the steps and aren't
mindful, continuing to practice the things that you've learned, you cannot go back into your old
habits, the way you were living and what you were doing before you signed up for the living method.
You were a direct result of that. Physically, mentally, you were a direct result of your environment,
the choices that you were making, how you were living your life. And you have been intentionally
pursuing change. Chances are you've made a lot of change. You have to keep moving forward with
that. Now you might fall back into old habits in which you will recognize that, that setback is a
setup for success. Then you'll be like, oh yeah, I remember I used to do this. This isn't working for me anymore. Let
me get back to doing what is working for me. So you need to be very intentional. So if you,
it's not trust, it's, it's habit forming. You have to continue to do the things that you
have been doing in order to continue to see change and to reinforce the change that you have been doing in order to continue to see change and
to reinforce the change that you have made so that you're now reinforcing these new habits
that are supporting your new lifestyle that serves the life that you want to live as opposed
to the old habits and the old way of living.
But it was a great conversation.
If you went back, who's this?
Warren and Melanie, normal people who lost, fell off, climbed back on and succeeded. They knew exactly what they wanted and what they didn't. That, this, exactly. Suzanne, I love this. Right? Like, that's exactly it. So I think it's one thing to hear from me, even hear from Kim, but to hear from real people, right? Like we're all just people trying to wake
up every day, live our best lives, feel our best, make change in our lives. And you know, it's
normal. We need to normalize falling back into old habits. If that happens to you, it's a learning
opportunity for you to recognize what you want and what you don't want. I just did a post over
on Instagram. What's working for you, what's not working for you, you know, situations, relationships,
people in your life, choices that you're making. Right. So I think you,
everyone will be really surprised that, that I think it's good to have a break from the program
because you can see what you've really done. You've actually made real change physically
and mentally, although we are going to have the bridging the gap group. Yes. I'm so excited for that. Yes.
So am I. So we are going to, last year we kind of dabbled and kind of did a trial bridging the gap
group. I was really uncertain because I was like, you know, there's so much to be learned by people
kind of going on their own and, you know, kind of seeing how they make out. And so I think I was really unsure about offering the group.
But I think also on the other side of that, it sets people up for success.
It's a safety net.
It's a place to continue.
It's a place to be mindful.
It's a place to connect with our team and our members.
So we are introducing the Bridging the Gap Summer Club.
So this is not a guided program and process. So it's only for
our previous members to continue to work on your weight loss throughout the summer. For those of
you who even just want to maintain throughout the summer, but you want to like maintain and make
sure you're keeping up with the changes that you've made so that you're setting yourself up
for success in the fall, or people who want to make sure they are set up for success in the fall. It doesn't matter how you want to navigate this summer.
It's a place where the team is going to be, where I'm going to be, where we're going to be accessible
to answer any questions that you have. I'm still going to go live. I'm not sure when I'm actually
going to do a poll to ask when you guys want me to go live because I it's the summer. So technically
I'm, I have a lot more flexibility and freedom.
We're going to have some guests join us.
We're gonna have some fun giveaway.
So we're just going to kind of continue the party.
It's going to be more relaxed,
but with all the support,
with all the support.
So if you are interested in joining our bridging the gap group,
it is $29.
You can register over on our website,
Gina Libby.com.
You will get a new order number that you will use to, to get into the new Facebook support group. So on the last day of this group,
I think it's the 21st. Uh, we stopped answering questions. We stopped posting, and then we're
going to shift over and go into the bridging the gap summer club. So I, you know what I like about
it is that I like that it's kind of going to like the way I look at it. It's kind of like the Monday night live. Like it's
just going to, I'm going to have fun. It's good. It's going to be about helping people,
supporting people. I don't have that pressure of necessarily guiding people every day because it's
like the set or it's our community, right? So I, I'm looking forward to it. It's going to be,
I think it's going to be fun. It's going to be relaxed. It's going to be chill. It's going to be different because I feel,
I feel a lot of pressure. I'm sure you do running these groups because we have to help every single
person be super successful. I mean, the summer group is going to be no different, but that we're
taking people who don't know anything about the program and making sure that they follow through
and finish where this is going to be, you know, everyone who's continuing to work on their goals. So what do we do? Parts of the group, it's all the juicy fun parts of the group,
like all of my favorite parts of the program in the group is just isolated in this five week
summer group, as opposed to having all of the information and making people making sure people
have everything you need. These people that are in the group already have everything they need.
We just care to support them with it.
Yeah, I see a couple of questions.
I just signed up.
I love that.
I see a couple of questions of people asking
about what's going to happen at the end of this program.
So this week is all about just, you know,
you making an intentional decision
about how you're going to navigate the summer.
What are the next steps for you?
Have you signed up for the fall program?
Did you sign up for the Bridging the Gap group?
Are you going to continue to personalize the plan?
Are you working behind the program?
Are you just going to kind of just work the basics and maintain?
What is your plan moving forward?
Next week, we're going to talk about maintenance.
Now, for everyone still looking
to lose, it is still show up, get and keep the scale moving. Like we are not done yet. Every
single day show up. Like you're expecting that scale to move, maximize your efforts right to the
very last day. Even though we're going to be talking about maintenance, it is still very much
you working on working towards reaching your weight loss goals for the people who have
reached their goals. And for any of you who are still working on your goals, wondering what
maintenance is all about, we're going to talk maintenance next week. So Odette's going to join
us for the tweak this week. Next week, we're going to talk about the maintenance group. We have
Christine who's been in maintenance for over a year, going to join us for the spill the tea
conversation on Tuesday. So the conversation is going to be geared around maintenance, but it's very much also geared on people continuing to lose weight with the Facebook
support group. Once we are done, you will still have access to it. So we, you will not be able to,
you know, ask questions or anything like that in it, but you can still review the information,
watch the videos, watch the check-ins. So any of you who are working behind in the program, you're still going to be able to follow
along day to day, to day, to day. If you are using your app and you are behind in the program,
you can continue to use the app throughout your 91 days, right? Those of you who are on day 80
with us right now, and you finish up on day 91, once you complete the spring
summer program, the app will turn into a general tracker where you will be able to continue to
track your weight and your foods and your fluids and your moods and your movements and all of that.
And then if you've signed up for the fall program, once you've inputted the fall program information,
it will automatically start when the fall program starts. The one thing that is to note is that we are not going to be turning any of our live
segments from the summer club into a podcast. So they will only be accessible in the new Facebook
support group for the Bridging the Gap group. But we do have our podcast that has all the 91 day from the spring
summer program. All the 91 day lives are going to be there. All of our guest segments from the
program will be there. So all of that information is still accessible to you. Does that answer all
the questions? I think it does. I think the one question people are asking about having access to the information in the app after the 91 days is over and you don't lose any of your information that's contained within each program.
So if you're in this group and you're in the app, you're still going to have all of the information that was posted in this group within this group in the journey section of your app the general tracker
mode is a separate mode where you're just tracking so that's going to be the general tracker mode is
going to be what you're going to use to go through the summer if you're joining us for the bridge in
the gap you want to track your stuff if you want to find any of the information you can go back
into the spring program and find it there and that's where you'll also be able to access and
link it to the facebook group if you want to go into the facebook group you won't be able to comment but you'll still be able to read and link it to the Facebook group. If you want to go into the Facebook group, you won't be able to comment, but you'll still be able to read, watch videos through the app or the Facebook.
So I think that, you know, you don't lose any of your information from your previous programs.
It's all there. You just go into those individual programs if you want.
Someone's asking about the way in podcast. Yeah. So I'm still doing the way in podcast.
We are working on some booking, some fun guests, doing some new segments for that. So we are still very much doing the way in podcast. We are working on some booking, some fun guests doing some new segments for that.
So we are still very much doing the way in podcast.
It's just that we've been really caught up at the end of this program,
trying to finish up this group proper,
make sure we're giving all of our time and attention to this program and
giving some thought about some new guests and a new structure to our way in
podcast.
So that will be available.
I'm not sure where we're going to post some new episodes over the
summertime.
We might, we might not. It just depends if we can get some guests. A lot of people take the summer off, so it's hard to get some great guests to come on our podcast. But I will
let you know, we're going to also keep connected with you throughout the summer. We're going to
let you know what's going on over on social. So if we do have a new podcast going up on our way
in with Gina podcast, which is different from our Living Method podcast, we'll let you know. We'll post that
on socials. We'll be sending out emails and whatnot as well. Here's someone. So if we
followed behind, we can still watch the lives if we join Bridging the Gap group. Yep. Yes,
you will still have access to all the information in the current group.
We're not going to be posting that in the bridging the gap group.
Um, that would be a little different, but you will still have access to both groups.
So if you want to review and watch the lives over in the, this group that we're in now,
but you have any questions, you would just pop into the bridging the gap group.
That's where the team is going to be.
Do, will there be a discount code for the menopause conference? I'm actually not sure yet. We are waiting on that for our, I'm not
sure what tickets are. I think they're anywhere from 15 to $25. So that would be from the people
who are organizing the menopause conference. We talk to them about that, but I'm not sure where
we're at. Once we officially announced, we haven't even really officially announced that we're,
I've unofficially officially announced that we're going to be there, but we will do like an official announcement,
letting people know that we're going to be there. Uh, and if we do have any discounts to offer
for the menopause show, we'll be sure to let our members know for sure.
I do think, Oh, sorry. I was just going to say, I think they do have a special rate
available on their website until August. Oh, do they?
That's just in general.
It's a $35 until August the 6th on their website.
So if you hit the National Women's Show website or sorry, National Menopause Show website and then hit the pricing, you can find the information there.
And it is that's their special pricing until summer special rate until August 6th,
2024, $35. So good. So you're on live with me. I'm just on my, um, my, uh, tweak this week
conversation. So someone is asking about the discount for the menopause conference. Are we
getting a discount for our Libby losers? Do you know where we're at with that?
Um, I don't have an update on that. for our Libby losers. Do you know where we're at with that? Okay. Okay. Great. Okay. Thanks. Okay.
Okay. Okay. Bye. So I just says that she has yet to hear from her, but the plan was, she had said
that she was going to give our members a discount, but we're not sure what it is or when that is.
So we'll keep people updated.
Yeah.
Perfect.
Oh, I paid $25 until July 7th, midnight.
Oh, nice.
There was probably an early bird pricing.
All right.
I don't want to go.
I always, I'm the worst.
I procrastinate at the end of the program.
I don't want to, I know we still have next week.
So anyways, did we cover everything?
I think we did.
Yeah. We covered the next week's tweak. We covered the bridging the gap information,
trusting yourself, maximizing this coming out tomorrow and all the little details. I know,
I think we, we nailed it this week, Gina. We finally got this down pat week 11. We did it.
Did it. Yeah. Finishing stronger than the day we started okay uh also just a little programming
note so the team is going to be off on saturday and sunday the whole weekend are we taking that
we're getting the whole weekend off world well there you go i gave my whole team the whole
weekend off um so they will not be around saturday or Sunday, but any questions that are asked on the weekend, cause we still have posts and whatnot. They will be all answered in
a timely manner. Come Monday. We got, we had everyone working on Monday. So don't be shy about
asking those questions that you have, uh, over the weekend. I know it's only Wednesday. It feels
like a Friday for some reason. I'm not really sure why. So I'm going to see you when Friday,
you're going to fly in Friday. No, tomorrow I'm coming tomorrow and I am going to meet you and Sonia and Odette in your maintenance meeting tomorrow.
Yeah. So, so Odette and, uh, Kim and Sonia and I are meeting to help really finalize our
maintenance program. So we're working on a maintenance program. Um, that's going to come
with a book. It's going to come with an app, all of those things, which is going to be a game changer. All right. Who's this? Celine, we did it, guys. I'm so proud of myself that I stayed and continued. Usually I quit. This is not a quitting program. This is not a quitting program. As long as you keep showing up, you cannot mess it up. My goodness.
