Lindsay: Welcome to the
Lifting Lindsay podcast.

00:00:08.457 --> 00:00:11.697
I'm just gonna start today's
podcast on a really good note.

00:00:12.277 --> 00:00:17.977
A lot of you have been following along
with our IVF journey, and I'm happy to

00:00:17.977 --> 00:00:23.137
report that we are now six weeks pregnant.

00:00:23.677 --> 00:00:26.017
So this is so exciting.

00:00:26.287 --> 00:00:33.277
I've had five miscarriages and so we
are kind of proceeding, people usually

00:00:33.277 --> 00:00:39.547
say like cautiously optimistic, but
I want to be optimistically cautious.

00:00:39.547 --> 00:00:41.802
Like, I wanna lead with optimism here.

00:00:41.802 --> 00:00:46.407
Like, we are really excited and I'm just.

00:00:48.012 --> 00:00:50.952
I'm just hoping it works
out, obviously, right.

00:00:51.402 --> 00:00:57.222
It's funny because every
single day I am nauseous.

00:00:58.032 --> 00:01:05.442
It's actually had an impact on, my
food because I'm not eating as much.

00:01:05.742 --> 00:01:10.302
I've actually lost a few
pounds the past two weeks.

00:01:10.762 --> 00:01:14.732
Because I just don't like,
feel like eating anything.

00:01:15.062 --> 00:01:24.032
So I've been trying to stay as
much as I can on routine, and then

00:01:24.062 --> 00:01:26.402
I am just being flexible, right?

00:01:26.432 --> 00:01:34.742
This is a beautiful time period where my
focus in, in life is, is it just shifts.

00:01:35.597 --> 00:01:43.007
And I love that, like,  I'm not going
to be going to the gym over the next,

00:01:43.012 --> 00:01:44.387
I mean, I am gonna be going to the gym.

00:01:44.387 --> 00:01:45.017
Calm down.

00:01:45.047 --> 00:01:46.247
I know you are worried.

00:01:46.757 --> 00:01:49.367
I know that was a big scare.

00:01:49.877 --> 00:01:50.807
Don't worry.

00:01:51.077 --> 00:01:52.457
Still going to the gym.

00:01:52.842 --> 00:01:58.247
But, but my reason for going to the
gym is totally different, right?

00:01:58.307 --> 00:02:01.457
I mean, well, not so much actually.

00:02:02.167 --> 00:02:06.632
I feel like through the years,
my reasoning for showing up

00:02:06.632 --> 00:02:08.402
at the gym has just changed.

00:02:09.102 --> 00:02:10.902
It was originally right,

00:02:10.902 --> 00:02:15.882
i, I felt so uncomfortable and I didn't
like what I was seeing in, in the mirror,

00:02:15.882 --> 00:02:17.592
and I just didn't feel comfortable.

00:02:17.592 --> 00:02:22.302
I didn't feel myself, and I loved myself.

00:02:22.722 --> 00:02:26.142
I was trying to be the best person I
could be in all these other aspects,

00:02:26.142 --> 00:02:29.532
but, but I noticed that there was
just this opportunity for growth

00:02:29.537 --> 00:02:34.962
in, or maybe for shrinking down
for not continuing to grow, right?

00:02:35.172 --> 00:02:36.552
I had put on a lot of weight.

00:02:36.552 --> 00:02:44.292
So I, um, originally getting into the gym
was about the look the longer that I lift,

00:02:45.022 --> 00:02:48.022
actually the less it is about the look.

00:02:48.662 --> 00:02:54.872
And especially over the past few years,
there's just been this shift of, I just

00:02:54.872 --> 00:02:57.302
show up now because I love feeling strong.

00:02:58.622 --> 00:03:01.562
I love challenging
myself every single day.

00:03:02.532 --> 00:03:04.452
Knowing that I can do hard things.

00:03:04.782 --> 00:03:08.292
You know, some people do like the
whole, I'm gonna freeze my booty

00:03:08.292 --> 00:03:10.392
off and hop in that cold bath.

00:03:11.107 --> 00:03:15.907
I go to the gym and push to
failure and push into the pain.

00:03:15.907 --> 00:03:20.917
I love being able to almost daily, five
times a week, being able to immediately,

00:03:21.197 --> 00:03:23.747
go to the gym first thing in the
morning and then immediately check off

00:03:23.747 --> 00:03:26.027
that list of, I've done a hard thing.

00:03:26.947 --> 00:03:30.277
' cause as much fun as the
gym is, I challenge myself.

00:03:30.517 --> 00:03:31.447
I push myself.

00:03:31.597 --> 00:03:34.957
In fact, it's when, when
I show up and don't.

00:03:35.887 --> 00:03:37.927
It doesn't, it's not the same thing.

00:03:37.927 --> 00:03:39.997
It's not the same reward
as I'm walking out.

00:03:40.747 --> 00:03:46.747
It's usually there's a little piece of
me saying, you, you held back, um, you

00:03:46.747 --> 00:03:48.727
held yourself back a little bit more.

00:03:49.207 --> 00:03:49.507
Right?

00:03:49.507 --> 00:03:54.307
But anyways, as you know, the
next nine months, it's all

00:03:54.307 --> 00:03:56.227
about taking care of myself.

00:03:56.437 --> 00:04:02.002
It's all about showing
up for that gym therapy.

00:04:02.712 --> 00:04:06.192
Pushing myself, uh, smart but hard.

00:04:06.732 --> 00:04:13.362
And also there have been some
great positive things that, that

00:04:13.362 --> 00:04:21.312
we now know women who  lift,
who work out during pregnancies.

00:04:21.312 --> 00:04:28.182
There's huge lasting benefits
of health to the child.

00:04:28.182 --> 00:04:30.102
Like, this isn't just about you.

00:04:30.582 --> 00:04:34.572
This isn't about, this isn't about the
way I look the next five, nine months.

00:04:34.572 --> 00:04:35.892
It's not about a six pack.

00:04:35.892 --> 00:04:40.302
It's not about staying lean, it's not
about any of that because it can't

00:04:40.732 --> 00:04:46.257
be and I'm going to push in, and
I'm not saying that this isn't hard,

00:04:46.677 --> 00:04:51.477
but I'm gonna push in and be more
mentally flexible and allow my body

00:04:51.477 --> 00:04:55.467
to change and embrace it and love it.

00:04:55.467 --> 00:04:59.127
And it's gonna be, it's,
it's gonna be wonderful.

00:05:00.212 --> 00:05:03.957
I mean, I'm not gonna lie, there's
a little bit of like, it's kind of

00:05:03.957 --> 00:05:07.377
hard to see the changes that come.

00:05:07.857 --> 00:05:12.567
I'm not gonna sugarcoat it and say
that doesn't exist and I'm not more

00:05:12.567 --> 00:05:15.507
human than I would like to be, maybe.

00:05:15.897 --> 00:05:19.587
Um, but what a great
opportunity to practice

00:05:19.902 --> 00:05:27.462
just allowing my body to change
and still love what it can

00:05:27.467 --> 00:05:28.752
do and thrive off of that.

00:05:30.027 --> 00:05:35.247
So, um, I'm actually going to have another
podcast, not today, but I am gonna have

00:05:35.247 --> 00:05:39.777
another podcast where I do talk about
training during pregnancy, I should say.

00:05:40.277 --> 00:05:44.697
Adjustments I may or may not make,
per the individual, nutrition,

00:05:44.697 --> 00:05:45.717
all of that jazz.

00:05:46.047 --> 00:05:46.287
Okay.

00:05:46.287 --> 00:05:51.207
I am actually gonna, um, open up
the discussion when I announce on.

00:05:52.122 --> 00:05:54.762
Instagram that I'm pregnant, I'm
gonna open up and ask  what questions

00:05:54.767 --> 00:05:58.392
people have so I can put together
a really good quality show for you.

00:05:58.392 --> 00:06:03.262
But today I actually wanted to
talk a little bit more about, how

00:06:03.262 --> 00:06:12.412
I went on a vacation for seven
days and gained only one pound.

00:06:12.442 --> 00:06:13.822
The scale went up.

00:06:14.437 --> 00:06:15.037
One pound.

00:06:15.547 --> 00:06:19.057
And whether that's water,
weight, body, va, I don't care.

00:06:19.477 --> 00:06:20.197
I'm not gonna say there.

00:06:20.407 --> 00:06:21.997
Well, let's decide and decipher.

00:06:21.997 --> 00:06:24.757
Let's waste all of our
mental energy on who cares.

00:06:24.997 --> 00:06:25.447
Who cares?

00:06:26.017 --> 00:06:26.767
Went up a pound.

00:06:27.037 --> 00:06:29.107
Now a lot of you are
thinking, oh, that's nothing.

00:06:29.167 --> 00:06:30.217
Yeah, you're right.

00:06:30.397 --> 00:06:33.667
And that's exactly why I'm sharing
this because it, it's nothing.

00:06:34.807 --> 00:06:40.237
And so I want to walk you guys
through like why is it that I can go.

00:06:42.112 --> 00:06:44.902
To an all inclusive resort.

00:06:45.022 --> 00:06:49.372
All you can eat for seven
days and only gain one pound.

00:06:50.362 --> 00:06:51.592
So I'm gonna break that down for you.

00:06:51.592 --> 00:06:53.842
Now, before we get into that,
I do wanna share one thing

00:06:53.842 --> 00:06:54.862
that I think is really funny.

00:06:55.312 --> 00:07:00.772
So on the 25th of January, we did
the transfer, and then we had two

00:07:00.772 --> 00:07:03.202
days that are called the Princess
days, where you just take it easy.

00:07:03.562 --> 00:07:07.162
Then right after that we hopped
on a plane and went to Mexico.

00:07:07.402 --> 00:07:10.887
We stayed at an island called, it's.

00:07:11.377 --> 00:07:12.817
I didn't even think about.

00:07:12.877 --> 00:07:14.857
I didn't know much about this island.

00:07:15.667 --> 00:07:20.377
I just found this resort that seemed
like an amazing place to go to post

00:07:20.377 --> 00:07:25.357
transfer, where I could just relax
and not have to worry about anything.

00:07:25.357 --> 00:07:27.187
Not even like where
we're going for dinner.

00:07:27.727 --> 00:07:33.307
Like I just wanted to enjoy a good book
in the sun, 'cause Utah is freezing.

00:07:33.517 --> 00:07:33.967
That's all.

00:07:33.967 --> 00:07:36.037
So we booked this place on is Islam.

00:07:36.427 --> 00:07:40.352
Well it was really, really funny because
when we get there, we're talking to one of

00:07:40.352 --> 00:07:44.102
the waiters and I really like,  history.

00:07:44.642 --> 00:07:46.712
I really love history, actually.

00:07:47.552 --> 00:07:53.522
Side note, for many years I
wanted to be a history professor.

00:07:55.832 --> 00:08:00.152
I do love history anyways,
so, um, I love going to ruins.

00:08:00.737 --> 00:08:04.547
I love getting tours and just
like just taking it all in.

00:08:05.447 --> 00:08:09.437
So we had gone to, um.

00:08:09.797 --> 00:08:13.397
And when we first landed, we
stayed in Cancun for two days, so

00:08:13.397 --> 00:08:14.687
we could go there to those ruins.

00:08:14.687 --> 00:08:19.847
And then we went to Islam and I
had heard that there were ruins

00:08:19.852 --> 00:08:22.307
there and I didn't know much about
him, so I was really excited to go.

00:08:22.817 --> 00:08:26.807
So we were talking to our waiter
and I thought this was so funny.

00:08:27.467 --> 00:08:29.147
I, he's like, what are
you guys doing today?

00:08:29.147 --> 00:08:33.947
And I'm like, well, we're gonna go
to the ruins on the north island and,

00:08:34.007 --> 00:08:35.807
or excuse me, the south of the, uh.

00:08:36.662 --> 00:08:42.362
The south of the island was just
beautiful and he was like, oh, be careful.

00:08:42.602 --> 00:08:48.182
Those ruins are the ruins
of the goddess of fertility.

00:08:48.887 --> 00:08:52.907
And me and Alex looked at each other
and we just burst out laughing.

00:08:53.417 --> 00:08:55.727
We, it was the funniest thing ever.

00:08:55.727 --> 00:08:58.247
So we went there and if they
allowed you to touch the ruins,

00:08:58.247 --> 00:08:59.837
I would've like rubbed all over.

00:08:59.837 --> 00:09:05.147
But instead we just got a picture
next to this statue of the goddess

00:09:05.147 --> 00:09:07.382
of fragility, and it was awesome.

00:09:08.357 --> 00:09:09.107
We loved it.

00:09:09.107 --> 00:09:09.707
So anyway.

00:09:10.502 --> 00:09:14.762
But we had seven days at
this all-inclusive resort.

00:09:14.762 --> 00:09:16.112
Even in CAN in Cancun.

00:09:16.112 --> 00:09:17.222
We stayed in all-inclusive.

00:09:17.222 --> 00:09:21.542
So when I tell people like, I gained
one pound, and they're like, what?

00:09:21.542 --> 00:09:22.502
That's wild.

00:09:22.502 --> 00:09:25.652
If I were to go, I would gain 10 pounds.

00:09:25.682 --> 00:09:28.833
I'm like, well, let's,
let's talk about this.

00:09:29.627 --> 00:09:31.007
Let's actually talk about this.

00:09:31.517 --> 00:09:37.307
Um, how is it that I can go on vacation
for seven days at an all inclusive all you

00:09:37.307 --> 00:09:39.977
cane resort and only gain one pound only?

00:09:39.977 --> 00:09:42.347
See, the scale barely fluctuate.

00:09:42.347 --> 00:09:47.357
In fact, make kind of a normal
fluctuation because when I go, or

00:09:47.357 --> 00:09:50.132
when I weigh myself, like every day.

00:09:51.317 --> 00:09:53.117
That's actually something pretty normal.

00:09:53.477 --> 00:09:57.167
I'll see fluctuations of one,
one and a half, maybe two

00:09:57.167 --> 00:09:58.937
pounds depending on things.

00:09:59.657 --> 00:10:00.737
That's totally normal.

00:10:01.367 --> 00:10:05.447
So really, how could my body
composition stay the same?

00:10:06.947 --> 00:10:09.197
And a lot of people will be
like, well, you just, you just

00:10:09.197 --> 00:10:09.977
can eat whatever you want.

00:10:10.787 --> 00:10:13.427
And I can't, I can't eat whatever I want.

00:10:15.167 --> 00:10:19.542
Um, I disagree because I have done builds.

00:10:20.357 --> 00:10:26.057
If I go into a calorie surplus, I
gain weight just like anybody else.

00:10:27.077 --> 00:10:30.887
So let me, I have written down a
few bullets that I really wanna talk

00:10:30.887 --> 00:10:39.137
about, and Alex even, I mean, he's a
210 pound guy and he's pretty tall.

00:10:39.137 --> 00:10:42.077
He's six three, he gained
two and a half pounds.

00:10:42.887 --> 00:10:45.197
So how is it that we go?

00:10:45.227 --> 00:10:46.427
Do we just not eat anything?

00:10:46.937 --> 00:10:47.987
Should we just fast all day long?

00:10:48.422 --> 00:10:49.412
I mean, what is this?

00:10:49.412 --> 00:10:51.662
So I wanna go over a few things with you.

00:10:52.562 --> 00:10:58.682
At an all-inclusive resort, people usually
drink a lot more than they do at home.

00:11:00.062 --> 00:11:08.132
I don't drink alcohol, so that immediately
cuts out all of the calories from alcohol.

00:11:08.777 --> 00:11:15.467
In fact, I would just strongly encourage
those of you who really want to focus on

00:11:15.467 --> 00:11:20.237
gaining muscle, maintaining muscle, that's
something that you might want to start

00:11:20.237 --> 00:11:26.627
considering is not aligned with your goals
because alcohol can blunt hypertrophy.

00:11:27.167 --> 00:11:33.047
So if your goals are to like body
recomp, any of that, then lowering

00:11:33.047 --> 00:11:35.957
that is going to be the best.

00:11:35.957 --> 00:11:39.617
Lowering your, your alcohol consumption
is going to be the best option.

00:11:39.677 --> 00:11:45.682
Another thing too is peri and post
menopause, It is a period of time

00:11:45.682 --> 00:11:49.402
when the body is shifting and we are
experiencing all sorts of things.

00:11:49.642 --> 00:11:55.642
Disruption to sleep, you know, tiredness,
night sweats, all of these things and

00:11:55.647 --> 00:11:58.792
alcohol will make all of that worse.

00:11:58.792 --> 00:12:03.232
So I would just, I wanna plant that seed
in your, in your brain to just kind of

00:12:03.232 --> 00:12:07.972
be thinking about maybe how can I lower
my alcohol consumption, even if I'm not

00:12:07.972 --> 00:12:14.472
going on vacation, just lower it or,
maybe cut it out, cut it out altogether.

00:12:15.132 --> 00:12:18.402
Maybe that's actually
the best thing for you.

00:12:19.422 --> 00:12:24.777
So I don't drink alcohol and
I don't really consume calorie

00:12:24.777 --> 00:12:27.177
drinks, so I stick with water.

00:12:27.177 --> 00:12:28.557
I was drinking a ton of water there.

00:12:29.337 --> 00:12:36.957
And I was also drinking some zero
calorie soda, so that's kind of nice

00:12:36.957 --> 00:12:37.977
that I don't have to worry about that.

00:12:38.797 --> 00:12:43.327
The other thing was I, I teach a
mindful eating course mindful, and I

00:12:43.327 --> 00:12:51.277
follow the principles that are in that
course now, even if I can't control.

00:12:52.192 --> 00:12:55.672
the amount of protein and
calories and all of that.

00:12:56.512 --> 00:13:05.122
I have worked hard and become aware, and
I teach the hunger and fullness scale.

00:13:05.512 --> 00:13:11.962
Now, in the notes, I am going to
provide a PDF so that you can print

00:13:11.962 --> 00:13:14.572
this off and you can look at it
and just start thinking about it.

00:13:15.052 --> 00:13:17.662
Just keep it in the back
of your mind, you know.

00:13:19.132 --> 00:13:26.152
We really do have this, this degree
of hunger and fullness, and if we can

00:13:26.157 --> 00:13:31.972
become more aware, even on vacation,
even without being able to weigh your

00:13:31.972 --> 00:13:40.192
food, you can still maintain your
body composition and enjoy yourself.

00:13:41.422 --> 00:13:45.922
Doesn't mean that you get to eat all
of the food, but you can still eat

00:13:46.402 --> 00:13:52.282
the food you want while using this
hunger and fullness scale to give you

00:13:52.282 --> 00:13:59.212
certain constraints to help you so
you can enjoy, but also you're not

00:13:59.542 --> 00:14:03.232
consuming all and everything in sight,

00:14:03.322 --> 00:14:03.652
right?

00:14:04.312 --> 00:14:05.512
So there's a few things on it.

00:14:05.512 --> 00:14:05.662
Now.

00:14:05.662 --> 00:14:07.402
The scale is from zero.

00:14:08.077 --> 00:14:08.617
Two 10.

00:14:09.187 --> 00:14:14.437
So from zero to five, this is kind
of the hunger section of this scale.

00:14:14.707 --> 00:14:17.677
And if you pull it up right now, you
can kind of see what I'm talking about.

00:14:18.247 --> 00:14:24.757
So zero is like you are totally empty,
maybe even feeling dizzy or nauseous.

00:14:25.867 --> 00:14:28.057
You are just starving.

00:14:28.972 --> 00:14:32.602
And sometimes people will get
really bloated and not be able to

00:14:32.602 --> 00:14:34.582
eat if they put it off too much.

00:14:34.642 --> 00:14:38.662
And if they do, they can then finally eat.

00:14:38.962 --> 00:14:41.422
They're just so uncomfortable
they don't even enjoy it.

00:14:41.812 --> 00:14:44.692
'cause they've allowed
themselves to get so.

00:14:45.817 --> 00:14:52.357
Hungry, and then one on the scale is
you're rather ravenous, you're irritable.

00:14:52.357 --> 00:14:56.977
Maybe you're getting a headache, but
you're just like, okay, now I'm starving.

00:14:57.247 --> 00:15:01.387
Now the problem is, well, I, I
won't jump into this too quickly.

00:15:01.837 --> 00:15:04.177
Two is you're very hungry.

00:15:04.192 --> 00:15:05.732
You belly's growling.

00:15:05.832 --> 00:15:06.082
You are bellies growling.

00:15:06.087 --> 00:15:08.377
You're really eager, eager to eat.

00:15:09.907 --> 00:15:11.407
Three is.

00:15:12.142 --> 00:15:15.952
You're, you have an empty
feeling, you're hungry.

00:15:15.952 --> 00:15:17.362
You're ready to eat.

00:15:17.632 --> 00:15:18.982
You could eat something, right?

00:15:19.402 --> 00:15:23.152
Four is, you're starting to get
the first signs of being hunger

00:15:23.242 --> 00:15:27.322
hungry, meaning you're kind of
starting to think about it like, oh.

00:15:28.462 --> 00:15:29.362
Kinda getting hungry.

00:15:29.512 --> 00:15:30.532
What should I eat?

00:15:30.982 --> 00:15:32.932
You're not starving, you're not ravenous.

00:15:32.932 --> 00:15:38.212
It's just like, oh, maybe in like a
half an hour or so I'll eat something.

00:15:38.212 --> 00:15:38.452
What?

00:15:38.782 --> 00:15:39.532
What should I eat?

00:15:39.537 --> 00:15:40.912
You're kind of that type of thing.

00:15:40.972 --> 00:15:42.502
And then five is neutral.

00:15:42.712 --> 00:15:45.112
You're not hungry, you're
not full, not really thinking

00:15:45.112 --> 00:15:46.132
about it, you're just neutral.

00:15:46.522 --> 00:15:49.282
Okay, so we're gonna focus on
this side of the spectrum for

00:15:49.282 --> 00:15:50.752
right now, this side of the scale.

00:15:51.442 --> 00:15:56.422
So if you allow yourself
to get too hungry,

00:15:57.202 --> 00:16:03.502
it is going to have really negative
impacts in that you will enter a very

00:16:03.507 --> 00:16:12.622
emotional state where you have to eat
and it, it makes you feel like you

00:16:12.682 --> 00:16:18.832
have to eat really, really fast, so you
end up eating more than you normally

00:16:18.832 --> 00:16:21.352
would because you're eating so quickly.

00:16:23.377 --> 00:16:30.727
Also because you're so hungry, you're
going to be making very, very emotional

00:16:30.727 --> 00:16:37.147
based, like, versus No, I'm being
mindful I can still have a balanced meal.

00:16:37.777 --> 00:16:39.127
It's like, no, no, no,
just gimme anything.

00:16:39.132 --> 00:16:41.767
The whole bag of chips, I will
down the whole bag of chips.

00:16:42.457 --> 00:16:45.097
So it's like, okay, well that was, hmm.

00:16:45.157 --> 00:16:46.297
Probably not the best.

00:16:46.297 --> 00:16:46.657
Right?

00:16:47.347 --> 00:16:51.577
Um, 'cause then you're left
with like all this guilt.

00:16:52.087 --> 00:16:57.787
Maybe you over, well, you did
overeat, kind of feeling sick, just

00:16:57.907 --> 00:17:03.007
body-wise, but also not feeling like
you made the best choice mentally.

00:17:03.012 --> 00:17:06.307
So it kind of puts you physically
and mentally in a bad state.

00:17:07.807 --> 00:17:14.797
So where you want to allow yourself
to get to is usually at a three where

00:17:14.797 --> 00:17:17.587
you're like, okay, I am, I'm empty.

00:17:18.142 --> 00:17:18.742
Feeling hungry.

00:17:18.742 --> 00:17:19.582
I'm ready to eat.

00:17:19.582 --> 00:17:24.772
But you haven't entered that emotional
I have to eat and I have to eat all

00:17:24.772 --> 00:17:26.212
of it, and I have to eat it right now.

00:17:27.052 --> 00:17:33.112
A lot of times when people are trying to
restrict food because they look at food

00:17:33.472 --> 00:17:37.282
as bad and, and food as gaining weight.

00:17:38.302 --> 00:17:43.162
They restrict and error on the
side of, and I have to be starving.

00:17:43.162 --> 00:17:46.012
'cause then if I'm starving, that
means I'm going to lose weight.

00:17:46.402 --> 00:17:50.272
But it also means you're going to make
the worst food decisions possible.

00:17:51.102 --> 00:17:57.372
When we eat at around a three
on the scale is when we are

00:17:57.402 --> 00:18:00.282
able, we're more self-aware.

00:18:01.062 --> 00:18:02.682
We can eat slower.

00:18:03.087 --> 00:18:09.117
And on vacation, I will
order exactly what I want.

00:18:09.657 --> 00:18:13.587
I'm not really concerned
about how do I get my protein.

00:18:13.857 --> 00:18:16.977
I really, really need my protein
and is this gonna be, does

00:18:16.977 --> 00:18:18.297
this protein have extra fat?

00:18:18.297 --> 00:18:19.977
Or how much protein is this?

00:18:19.977 --> 00:18:21.387
And I need to hit my look.

00:18:21.417 --> 00:18:23.307
I'm on vacation for a
week, I'm gonna be fine.

00:18:24.807 --> 00:18:27.747
So I will go into a restaurant.

00:18:27.747 --> 00:18:30.327
I'm like, oh yeah, I, the
fettuccine Alfredo sounds great.

00:18:30.987 --> 00:18:32.097
I'm only at a three.

00:18:32.802 --> 00:18:34.242
Um, on this scale.

00:18:34.512 --> 00:18:35.862
So that looks good.

00:18:35.862 --> 00:18:36.732
It looks yummy.

00:18:37.602 --> 00:18:42.282
I, because I'm not super emotional, um,
because I haven't allowed myself to get

00:18:42.287 --> 00:18:49.542
too starving, I'm still able to enjoy,
eat slow, make it about connection

00:18:49.542 --> 00:18:51.012
and communication with my husband.

00:18:51.492 --> 00:18:57.582
And then when I get to about a
seven on fullness, I can stop.

00:18:58.407 --> 00:19:01.827
You know, if you let yourself get too
hungry and you are in that emotional

00:19:01.827 --> 00:19:12.387
state, you usually can't stop because
you have gotten so restrictive, um, and

00:19:12.392 --> 00:19:16.977
so hungry that you usually can't stop.

00:19:17.802 --> 00:19:24.102
Um, so let's now go more into the fullness
side of the scale, because between six and

00:19:24.102 --> 00:19:26.502
10 now we're kind of moving into fullness.

00:19:26.562 --> 00:19:29.832
So six is you're beginning to feel full.

00:19:30.552 --> 00:19:35.592
Now it takes time for your body to realize
that it's approaching, getting full.

00:19:35.712 --> 00:19:38.802
So that's why you should eat slowly.

00:19:40.167 --> 00:19:46.497
That is really one of the most
critical and important parts of

00:19:46.497 --> 00:19:49.647
mindful eating is you are present.

00:19:49.977 --> 00:19:52.467
You're not watching TV and
eating at the same time.

00:19:52.767 --> 00:19:55.257
You are eating and you are just eating.

00:19:55.857 --> 00:19:58.917
It's like maybe you're having a
conversation with your husband, nothing

00:19:58.917 --> 00:20:03.087
that's going to kind of have you leave.

00:20:04.572 --> 00:20:05.712
Eating like mentally.

00:20:05.742 --> 00:20:06.402
Does that make sense?

00:20:06.402 --> 00:20:09.942
If you, if you're watching TV show
mentally, you can kind of like leave

00:20:10.362 --> 00:20:13.482
where you're at right now and all of a
sudden you look down and you're like, oh,

00:20:13.482 --> 00:20:15.222
how did the whole bag of M and MSS go?

00:20:15.552 --> 00:20:15.912
Right?

00:20:16.242 --> 00:20:17.112
How did they go away?

00:20:17.982 --> 00:20:21.492
Well, you ate them, but the sad
thing is, is you weren't even able

00:20:21.492 --> 00:20:24.102
to enjoy them because mentally
you were watching a show, right?

00:20:25.512 --> 00:20:32.262
Um, so key components of mindful
eating are your present and you eat.

00:20:33.027 --> 00:20:40.047
Slowly to give your ti your body
time to send signals of being full.

00:20:40.827 --> 00:20:44.937
Now, seven, you are comfortably full.

00:20:46.467 --> 00:20:48.507
Eight, you are very full.

00:20:48.512 --> 00:20:51.537
You're starting to slightly
feel uncomfortable.

00:20:53.332 --> 00:20:56.877
Nine is you are stuffed.

00:20:56.877 --> 00:20:58.857
You're feeling like your
clothes are too tight.

00:20:58.857 --> 00:21:01.917
You have to unbutton
like it's uncomfortable.

00:21:03.237 --> 00:21:06.777
10 is you feel painfully sick.

00:21:07.467 --> 00:21:09.417
Just way, way, way too full.

00:21:09.867 --> 00:21:13.167
So the sweet spot, I've taught this
before if you haven't listened to my

00:21:13.467 --> 00:21:17.667
Mindful Eating podcast, I would really
suggest you going through all of them.

00:21:18.557 --> 00:21:23.687
And I also have a course on it that
I'll share a link to in the notes.

00:21:24.227 --> 00:21:28.967
That Mindful Eating course everybody
who's on my training app has access

00:21:29.762 --> 00:21:32.492
to that in the membership site,
but we really wanna stay between

00:21:32.492 --> 00:21:35.462
three and seven, even on vacation.

00:21:35.792 --> 00:21:37.832
That's just kind of like
a comfortable place.

00:21:37.832 --> 00:21:39.752
That's what I, that's what I wanna do.

00:21:40.442 --> 00:21:42.182
I want to enjoy myself.

00:21:43.052 --> 00:21:47.042
I'm not worried about the protein, but
I'm, I'm, I want to order what I want to.

00:21:47.897 --> 00:21:51.887
But I still like listen to my body
and respect my body, and I'm not

00:21:51.887 --> 00:21:55.877
going to just stuff myself sick.

00:21:56.297 --> 00:21:59.417
I stop at a seven when
I'm comfortably full.

00:22:00.227 --> 00:22:03.647
Another thing too is that
I really wanna bring up.

00:22:04.217 --> 00:22:07.907
Leading up to the vacation, I
wasn't in a calorie deficit,

00:22:08.677 --> 00:22:10.717
and a lot of people do that.

00:22:10.717 --> 00:22:12.667
They're like, oh, I'm going to Cancun.

00:22:12.727 --> 00:22:22.717
I better get into a cut, drop all this
weight, and then arrive here like 10

00:22:22.717 --> 00:22:26.197
pounds lighter, and then I can just

00:22:26.662 --> 00:22:27.612
eat everything in sight.

00:22:28.012 --> 00:22:33.712
That it is a, it is a very real thing that
people do that so they restrict leading

00:22:33.712 --> 00:22:36.562
up to it and then they binge on it.

00:22:37.222 --> 00:22:41.332
Now, I'm not saying that there's
anything wrong with do, like somebody

00:22:41.632 --> 00:22:44.062
wanting to lean down for a vacation.

00:22:44.512 --> 00:22:50.362
Not at all, but it is
important to understand.

00:22:51.337 --> 00:23:00.037
That if you restrict your calories,
especially excessively, um, you go into

00:23:00.037 --> 00:23:09.967
a really deep cut, there are changes
to your hunger and satisfaction cue.

00:23:11.317 --> 00:23:15.907
There are changes there are, they
alter, it actually takes longer

00:23:16.027 --> 00:23:19.432
to feel full and satisfied.

00:23:19.792 --> 00:23:26.392
So the likelihood of you over sheet
shooting and eating too much, eating

00:23:27.172 --> 00:23:31.312
past maintenance is way higher.

00:23:32.332 --> 00:23:41.032
So if you go into it in that state, you
do have a likelihood of overeating also.

00:23:41.332 --> 00:23:43.912
You're going into it pretty depleted.

00:23:44.272 --> 00:23:49.882
When you go into a cut, oftentimes,
especially an aggressive one, your

00:23:49.882 --> 00:23:55.582
muscles will use up a lot of its
fuel, the glycogen, and you'll

00:23:55.582 --> 00:23:58.642
just be in a depleted state.

00:23:59.962 --> 00:24:06.052
Even the, so the amount of like water
and glucose being stored in your tissue

00:24:06.052 --> 00:24:14.827
is, is lower, and then you go and you
eat a whole bunch and the weight goes up.

00:24:14.887 --> 00:24:17.287
Well, that's normal even if
you didn't go on vacation.

00:24:17.587 --> 00:24:22.327
But now you're in an environment
where you restricted and are stepping

00:24:22.327 --> 00:24:27.367
in and it's almost this invitation
to binge so, so sometimes it can

00:24:27.367 --> 00:24:29.287
be kind of like this perfect storm.

00:24:30.202 --> 00:24:31.912
You were restricting too much.

00:24:31.912 --> 00:24:35.962
Some people do this more than
others, right, because they feel like

00:24:36.382 --> 00:24:39.742
they are restricting, restricting,
restricting, obsessing about fat loss.

00:24:39.742 --> 00:24:44.152
And then they move into a vacation where
it's like, well, this vacation is only

00:24:44.152 --> 00:24:50.962
seven days, so I have to eat everything,
all of it, because they go from,

00:24:51.322 --> 00:24:53.842
they've been living in scarcity mindset.

00:24:54.202 --> 00:24:55.942
Well, scarcity mindset.

00:24:56.512 --> 00:24:57.742
I've talked about this a lot.

00:24:59.062 --> 00:25:05.362
But it shows up really bad when you've
just been in this steep diet and you're

00:25:05.362 --> 00:25:07.342
restricting, restricting, restricting.

00:25:08.452 --> 00:25:14.182
And then you move into all of
these options and it's almost

00:25:14.182 --> 00:25:16.822
like this scarcity mindset.

00:25:18.172 --> 00:25:23.212
Pushes you towards overeating because
you're like, I, you know, the whole

00:25:23.212 --> 00:25:29.002
idea between scarcity and abundance is
scarcity is this idea that's been created

00:25:29.002 --> 00:25:31.612
in the mind that resources are scarce.

00:25:32.002 --> 00:25:37.372
So then when we see the resources where
they're available, we will overeat, we

00:25:37.372 --> 00:25:43.342
will binge because it's our body saying,
oh, we have to eat it all because we only

00:25:43.342 --> 00:25:44.722
get it for this short period of time.

00:25:45.532 --> 00:25:50.662
It's a scarce resource, so we
better get as much as we can of it.

00:25:51.472 --> 00:25:55.972
And obviously we're not sitting
there thinking, Hmm, like all

00:25:55.972 --> 00:25:58.612
this is Scar, a scarce resource,
I'm going to eat all this.

00:25:58.672 --> 00:26:02.872
Uh, these are things that, that just
kind of happen naturally as we've

00:26:02.872 --> 00:26:04.462
been living in this scarcity mindset.

00:26:05.212 --> 00:26:08.572
So all of these things can kind
of lead to this perfect storm.

00:26:08.572 --> 00:26:11.437
When you move into a.

00:26:12.262 --> 00:26:15.712
You know, vacation, you are
just highly restrictive.

00:26:15.742 --> 00:26:19.402
Now, some women can come out of
that restriction pretty well.

00:26:20.107 --> 00:26:23.587
Some women even choose, and I've
done this with clients, that what we

00:26:23.587 --> 00:26:27.397
do is actually two weeks before the
vacation, we kind of, we will relieve

00:26:27.397 --> 00:26:32.647
that, we'll get them out of the diet
the two weeks prior to the vacation.

00:26:32.647 --> 00:26:36.307
So for those two weeks, they're
sitting relatively at maintenance,

00:26:36.312 --> 00:26:42.697
allowing, um, they're, you know, hunger,
satisfaction, all of that to kind of those

00:26:42.697 --> 00:26:45.187
signaling and, uh, hormones to kind of.

00:26:45.547 --> 00:26:50.497
Begin to regulate more and then
when they leave for this vacation,

00:26:50.767 --> 00:26:57.187
it's not from like this, um, this
place of I can't have anything to

00:26:57.547 --> 00:26:59.617
now I have to have everything right.

00:27:00.187 --> 00:27:04.387
So sometimes just how we can set it
up can prevent that sometimes just

00:27:04.387 --> 00:27:08.047
being aware of what's going on, our
on in our brain can prevent that.

00:27:08.287 --> 00:27:09.667
So that's a huge one, guys.

00:27:09.697 --> 00:27:15.067
I did not go into this vacation in a diet.

00:27:15.817 --> 00:27:20.827
I was just at maintenance because
that's where I live majority of my time.

00:27:20.827 --> 00:27:23.197
I went in there at maintenance,

00:27:24.127 --> 00:27:25.687
all of these things were regulated.

00:27:25.687 --> 00:27:29.527
It was way easier for me to
use this scale because of that.

00:27:30.277 --> 00:27:35.857
And I also went in there with the
mindset of this food is just food.

00:27:35.857 --> 00:27:37.777
Like it, it will be there tomorrow.

00:27:38.482 --> 00:27:40.282
It's really okay.

00:27:40.342 --> 00:27:42.862
I don't have to eat
everything immediately.

00:27:43.642 --> 00:27:48.592
So if you have experienced that on
vacation where you gain 10 pounds,

00:27:49.762 --> 00:27:58.492
what a wonderful red flag that there's
some opportunity for us to get to

00:27:58.492 --> 00:28:04.672
know, to look inside of ourselves a
bit more and realize that maybe our

00:28:04.672 --> 00:28:07.642
relationship with food fitness isn't

00:28:07.957 --> 00:28:13.777
as healthy as we think because
you actually shouldn't be

00:28:13.777 --> 00:28:15.787
gaining 10 pounds on vacation.

00:28:16.647 --> 00:28:20.727
I'm not talking about like water weight
fluctuations that that may be happening

00:28:20.727 --> 00:28:22.347
due to flights and stuff like that.

00:28:22.587 --> 00:28:27.477
I'm saying like, you should not be putting
on 10 pounds of body fat on a vacation.

00:28:28.257 --> 00:28:30.687
That should not be the norm.

00:28:31.402 --> 00:28:40.762
It is a red flag that maybe you live in
restriction way too much and because you

00:28:40.762 --> 00:28:45.172
constantly are in a state of restriction
and thinking about it and thinking

00:28:45.172 --> 00:28:50.962
about fat loss, when you actually go
on vacation, you, you can't be healthy

00:28:50.962 --> 00:28:55.372
with food and just eat till satisfied.

00:28:55.672 --> 00:29:02.302
You have to stuff yourself because it's
now or never, but it's not now or never.

00:29:03.322 --> 00:29:06.532
But the reason why you feel
that way is because you live

00:29:06.537 --> 00:29:10.222
in scarcity every single day.

00:29:11.482 --> 00:29:19.717
So the real reason why I didn't gain
very much, anything on vacation.

00:29:19.717 --> 00:29:21.817
I, my body recomp was the same.

00:29:22.177 --> 00:29:22.777
Yes.

00:29:22.837 --> 00:29:24.947
I, went to the gym.

00:29:25.757 --> 00:29:30.197
Actually, when me and Alex go on
vacations together, I usually,

00:29:30.317 --> 00:29:32.327
we, we love going to the gym.

00:29:33.017 --> 00:29:34.517
It's an enjoying thing.

00:29:34.547 --> 00:29:40.397
Like we go, we love working out together
and just having fun and it's so enjoyable.

00:29:41.417 --> 00:29:44.567
When we go with our kids, we don't
really go to the gym, but when

00:29:44.572 --> 00:29:47.207
it's just me and Alex, we love it.

00:29:47.297 --> 00:29:49.127
So yes, I did that.

00:29:49.667 --> 00:29:51.077
Yes, I'm an active person.

00:29:51.077 --> 00:29:57.227
I was walking around the island, I was
getting like nine, 10,000 steps still.

00:29:57.257 --> 00:30:00.197
I, I can't just sit for like five hours.

00:30:00.737 --> 00:30:01.757
So I'm very active.

00:30:01.757 --> 00:30:02.777
I love moving.

00:30:03.137 --> 00:30:06.317
So we were walking around a
lot, seeing things, right.

00:30:07.097 --> 00:30:12.227
So yes, that's true, but no, it was
not because, well, it's just genetics.

00:30:12.227 --> 00:30:13.637
And Lindsay can eat whatever she wants.

00:30:13.997 --> 00:30:14.267
No.

00:30:15.272 --> 00:30:23.402
It was because I have this, this
healthy mindset around food that

00:30:23.402 --> 00:30:26.432
I have cultivated over time.

00:30:27.962 --> 00:30:29.462
Now, I haven't always had this.

00:30:29.677 --> 00:30:33.517
I remember doing a cut one
time that was probably.

00:30:34.567 --> 00:30:36.157
The steepest cut I've ever done.

00:30:36.277 --> 00:30:40.447
I really wanted to know what it
felt like to prep for a show,

00:30:40.447 --> 00:30:41.707
but I didn't wanna do the show.

00:30:42.817 --> 00:30:46.327
So I, you know, it's the
lowest my body fat's ever been.

00:30:46.807 --> 00:30:51.277
Um, I could have stepped up on stage,
like that's how stage lean I was.

00:30:51.517 --> 00:30:53.417
I did a photo  photo shoot Instead.

00:30:53.807 --> 00:30:58.097
Even the photographer told me, you're
leaner than most women who come and do

00:30:58.097 --> 00:30:59.867
a photo shoot right before their show.

00:31:00.107 --> 00:31:02.027
He's like, you got really lean.

00:31:02.627 --> 00:31:07.487
And the consequences of
that, there are consequences.

00:31:08.852 --> 00:31:10.232
Was it cool to visit it?

00:31:10.472 --> 00:31:10.832
Yeah.

00:31:12.152 --> 00:31:19.412
Did I have to put in some work to
maintain a healthy relationship

00:31:19.412 --> 00:31:20.852
with food and body after that?

00:31:21.302 --> 00:31:21.662
Yes.

00:31:22.352 --> 00:31:26.822
I was talking at the gym with
a, a woman named Amy Abs.

00:31:26.822 --> 00:31:30.487
By Amy actually, but she goes to
my gym, so I know her as Amy,  you

00:31:30.487 --> 00:31:31.837
may follow her on Instagram.

00:31:32.547 --> 00:31:37.382
But we were talking about that, she
prepped for a show and she said,

00:31:37.382 --> 00:31:44.102
once you get that lean, it forever
changes the way you view your body.

00:31:44.822 --> 00:31:52.897
Now you can determine how though,
but it will, it will, it it.

00:31:53.402 --> 00:31:59.822
You cannot be that lean and not remember.

00:31:59.852 --> 00:32:01.562
Oh, I remember when I was that lean.

00:32:01.952 --> 00:32:06.782
Now how the story you tell yourself
afterwards is what determines everything.

00:32:07.232 --> 00:32:11.822
It determines whether you are
mentally healthy or not, right?

00:32:12.242 --> 00:32:15.183
Some women tell this
themselves the story of.

00:32:16.547 --> 00:32:18.677
That's when I looked the best.

00:32:19.007 --> 00:32:25.697
If I could just get back there again, if
I just lived there, then I'd be happy.

00:32:26.147 --> 00:32:29.327
Then I would be, fill in the blank.

00:32:29.477 --> 00:32:34.277
Whatever thing is going to
fill this gap in your heart.

00:32:35.027 --> 00:32:35.387
Right.

00:32:37.562 --> 00:32:41.312
But the, the truth is like, it really
is the story you tell yourself.

00:32:41.552 --> 00:32:44.252
And, and me and Amy, we weren't
talking about that necessarily, but

00:32:44.252 --> 00:32:49.892
she was just saying, yeah, it, it has
forever changed my view of my body.

00:32:50.372 --> 00:32:55.052
Because once you achieve that, once you
get that lean and people will be like,

00:32:55.082 --> 00:32:57.122
oh, you're so lean, you're so shredded.

00:32:57.602 --> 00:33:00.752
And it's hard not to be like, oh,
this is nothing compared Right.

00:33:01.592 --> 00:33:04.772
But we still have the opportunity
to tell ourselves a new story.

00:33:04.832 --> 00:33:10.457
And there are a ton of women
who do shows and they come out

00:33:10.457 --> 00:33:12.707
of it very mentally unhealthy.

00:33:13.387 --> 00:33:21.007
There's a lot of sex hormone fluctuations
that happen post, especially if you have

00:33:21.097 --> 00:33:27.017
gone with a coach that, doesn't really
care and doesn't, isn't very educated.

00:33:27.377 --> 00:33:30.647
They don't know how to prepare
you mentally and emotionally.

00:33:30.647 --> 00:33:30.677
I.

00:33:31.252 --> 00:33:35.302
And it can really throw you
for a loop and harm you.

00:33:36.202 --> 00:33:40.882
If you're thinking about doing a show,
just be so cautious about who you hire.

00:33:41.872 --> 00:33:49.582
And if they cannot admit that it,
that post show, you need a recovery

00:33:49.582 --> 00:33:53.272
period where both mentally and
physically, they're not a good

00:33:53.272 --> 00:33:55.162
coach if they cannot admit that.

00:33:56.452 --> 00:34:00.802
Because those who have been in it for
a while know that no post it's hard.

00:34:00.952 --> 00:34:07.132
So anyways, I, I remember, um,
getting really, really lean and

00:34:07.132 --> 00:34:10.132
then afterwards just being like,
oh, this, I'm not very lean.

00:34:11.062 --> 00:34:12.772
I, I've lost my leanness.

00:34:13.642 --> 00:34:18.742
And it was so good for me to get
a message from my friend who had

00:34:18.742 --> 00:34:22.132
also done shows and she said.

00:34:22.742 --> 00:34:26.012
This is a little bit of body dysmorphia.

00:34:26.012 --> 00:34:31.622
You're, you're still too lean,
you're still show lean right now.

00:34:31.862 --> 00:34:34.892
And that was really good
to get that feedback.

00:34:34.897 --> 00:34:35.942
'cause I'm like, oh, thank you.

00:34:36.242 --> 00:34:37.592
Thank you for pulling me out of that.

00:34:38.392 --> 00:34:40.462
Maybe I'll do a full episode on that.

00:34:41.122 --> 00:34:46.627
But I've also seen that with
women who are really excited.

00:34:46.627 --> 00:34:47.797
They're not doing a show.

00:34:47.827 --> 00:34:52.957
They're not even getting lean enough
to do a show, but they're leaning out a

00:34:52.957 --> 00:34:56.677
lot more and they're so, so, so excited.

00:34:56.977 --> 00:35:02.542
But then something happens and they
realize my life is out of balance.

00:35:03.907 --> 00:35:05.857
I need to reign it back.

00:35:05.977 --> 00:35:12.967
And when they pull back, they end up
putting on a little weight and they.

00:35:14.797 --> 00:35:17.947
Kind of come to this realization.

00:35:18.007 --> 00:35:22.537
Some of them don't, but it is an
opportunity to come to a realization

00:35:23.077 --> 00:35:32.797
that one, the body that you are
striving so hard to get to maybe

00:35:32.797 --> 00:35:41.227
actually isn't where you can
mentally healthy healthily maintain.

00:35:42.607 --> 00:35:45.697
So in my mind I have this
kind of vision of this woman.

00:35:45.757 --> 00:35:52.837
She has a before and an after pitcher,
right before she's overweight,

00:35:53.047 --> 00:35:57.307
uncomfortable, and then she has
an after pitcher and she's really

00:35:57.307 --> 00:35:59.527
lean, probably athletically lean.

00:36:00.037 --> 00:36:05.527
Maybe you can see a six
pack, but happiness for her

00:36:06.217 --> 00:36:08.317
actually might be somewhere

00:36:09.097 --> 00:36:19.057
in between those two and not necessarily
that depleted state of bottom of the cut.

00:36:19.927 --> 00:36:26.317
She's lost, you know, 25 pounds and
that's like she can see her AB or or so

00:36:26.322 --> 00:36:27.547
just athletic and lean and loving it.

00:36:29.182 --> 00:36:30.142
That's wonderful.

00:36:30.142 --> 00:36:34.582
But maybe actually where she's
gonna thrive is after her reverse,

00:36:34.582 --> 00:36:39.232
she's put on five pounds and that's
actually where true maintenance

00:36:39.232 --> 00:36:41.872
and, and thriving lands for her.

00:36:42.802 --> 00:36:44.182
I want you to think about that.

00:36:44.182 --> 00:36:47.872
I mean, they may, that may not
apply to all of you, but it may

00:36:47.872 --> 00:36:53.752
apply to many of you that that
happiness is actually, it's not.

00:36:54.502 --> 00:36:56.332
In either one of those extremes.

00:36:56.362 --> 00:37:02.302
Maybe it's somewhere a little bit,
you know, further, maybe not the

00:37:02.307 --> 00:37:04.702
25 pounds, but maybe the 20 pounds.

00:37:04.702 --> 00:37:11.092
Weight loss is actually where you maintain
your health mentally and physically.

00:37:11.572 --> 00:37:19.942
So just that invitation, when we get
to that healthy life and we are able

00:37:19.942 --> 00:37:22.042
to maintain that really, really well.

00:37:23.437 --> 00:37:24.907
Then going on vacation.

00:37:24.907 --> 00:37:31.117
This idea of putting on 10 pounds, that's
a huge red flag that there's probably

00:37:31.122 --> 00:37:35.707
still some level of restriction that
you're sitting too deeply in, and there's

00:37:35.707 --> 00:37:37.477
still some work that needs to be done.

00:37:37.477 --> 00:37:39.607
Now, I don't want anybody to get
down on themselves about that.

00:37:40.117 --> 00:37:42.967
The idea that work, that there's
still some work that needs to

00:37:42.967 --> 00:37:45.277
be done is not a bad thing.

00:37:45.907 --> 00:37:47.737
It's just an opportunity.

00:37:47.857 --> 00:37:48.817
Look at it as that.

00:37:48.907 --> 00:37:49.837
Take it or leave it.

00:37:50.227 --> 00:37:51.187
It's an opportunity.

00:37:51.187 --> 00:37:56.287
It's not a threat to your value as a
person, it's just an opportunity for

00:37:56.317 --> 00:38:04.057
growth to actually acquire, like bring
in more joy and happiness into your life.

00:38:05.167 --> 00:38:08.557
Anyways, I was so excited to
share that we're pregnant.

00:38:08.617 --> 00:38:14.377
I'm so excited to share like  mentally
ways that we can make sure that

00:38:14.377 --> 00:38:21.847
we're healthy and that we can combat
this idea of, oh, when I go on, you

00:38:21.847 --> 00:38:23.677
know, a vacation I put on 10 pounds.

00:38:23.947 --> 00:38:24.877
Well, why is that?

00:38:24.877 --> 00:38:26.257
Maybe let's do a deep dive here.

00:38:26.262 --> 00:38:30.127
So hopefully this
podcast has really helped

00:38:30.187 --> 00:38:33.757
maybe just open up, maybe not all
of it's applied to, but just opened

00:38:33.757 --> 00:38:39.757
up your eyes on maybe areas of
opportunity that, uh, you can grow in.

00:38:40.147 --> 00:38:42.337
Anyways, you guys have a wonderful week.

00:38:42.337 --> 00:38:47.447
If you have any questions, um, I'm
always open  to answer questions you can

00:38:47.447 --> 00:38:51.467

00:38:51.677 --> 00:38:52.697
