Maggie and Rachel live on opposite sides of the United States. They are 11 years apart in age. Rachel is married with kids, and Maggie is a wonderful dog mom! But during one of the toughest years this world has ever seen, they both were able to lose over 100lbs. And they want to tell you all about it. What worked for them, how they were able to get past obstacles, and so much more. Swing by each week to see how they were able to drop into happiness.

Sometimes you gotta look at where you have been, before you realize where you need to go.
Too often, the second something goes wrong we feel like we have failed. Struggles are NORMAL for any journey but especially on a wellness journey. There is no such thing as perfection. Struggles are normal. And we just keep moving forward.

Listener Mary G. wanted us to discuss how we manage travel and social functions. Which can be so tricky! Even when we are at home and something interrupts our pattern it can throw us for a loop….but what happens when you aren’t event at home. With your tools. Things can get a little out of hand, but we talk through some things that could help.

What is a Negative Nellie? Well, that could be anyone who is intentionally raining on your parade. Whether they are intending to or not. But no matter where they come from, how negative they are being, or even why they are being mean…..the one thing we must always remember is that WE have control over how we react to them. Let them have their negative talk, I wanna spread sunshine everywhere I go!

Maggie and I had a great time going over some of the things that help us along this wild and crazy journey. Tricks, tips, or just little idiosyncrasies that make us tick! Leaning into who you are, what you are good at, and things you enjoy can make all the difference! Even if you think it is weird or off the wall. If it helps you and keeps you in a good headspace…..do it! Do that thing you do.

For those who have ever counted calories, counted points (WW), counted macros, or was on any other kind of program, there seems to be this weird feeling (for some of us) that weekends are “FREE”. And by FREE I mean a place where points don’t count or calories don’t exist. This feeling can happen to any of us along this lifelong journey. Maggie and I have both experienced it, and this week we are going to talk about it.

When we begin to enrich our plates with nutrient dense food, not only are nourishing our bodies, but we are also building healthy habits, we are eating the rainbow, and we are creating a healthy lifestyle to last a lifetime!

Pay attention to your gut health.

We don’t always have to say yes to that extra serving, to that drink we didn’t even want, or to that fast food being offered even if we aren’t hungry. Saying NO seems so mean. Like we aren’t being grateful for the offer, for that friend, or for an opportunity. But once we can master the art of saying NO….I promise you, it will make things easier.

A listener reached out to us asking us to answer one question. “How do I continue without feeling like I am always quitting?” I know Katie isn’t the only one out there feeling this way. So this week, we talk out some ways that we have addressed this feeling, and how we keep the mindset that this journey never truly ends……so we never truly quit. We may want to refocus at times. To reevaluate our current state. But we never truly quit.

We are always talking about setting goals, but sometimes we have so many or such big goals that we don’t know where to start! One of the things Rachel likes to do is focus on something that she is currently struggling with and then get as specific as possible.

When we set goals for ourselves…..it is always Us vs Us. To strive to be better, stronger, wiser, than we were yesterday. When we start comparing ourselves to others, is when we begin to diminish ourselves. Don’t ever compare yourself to others. Don’t ever feel like you aren’t enough. Celebrate all your wins, all your goals, and all of your accomplishments.

Have you ever noticed in sports movies how the coaches start to rip apart the players at halftime to “inspire” them to win the game. That doesn’t work on a wellness journey. There I said it. We must celebrate!! Patting ourselves on the back, tooting our own horn, and saying “I am so proud of myself” are necessary for success.
Let’s start some hashtags!

Maggie and I have both had one of those days where we looked at the calories or Points (WW thing) and went “wait….WHAT?!!!!” Something we once thought was going to be a healthy staple in our household ended up being so filled with sugar and we had no idea. This doesn’t mean we can’t have those things, but it’s nice to know what products are wolfs in sheeps clothing.

Have you ever walked through the kitchen and just grabbed a handful of chips? Or maybe your kids were done with their Happy Meal and left some fries that you didn’t want to go to waste. On a wellness journey, we like to call those BLT’s. Those bites, licks, and tastes that we maybe don’t count or totally forget about. And you know what, that’s ok!! It’s gonna happen. Let’s talk about it.

Consistency is definitely key when it comes to just about anything you want to change or improve upon. But that is going to look different to everyone! Finding our own path to consistency but also allowing for that bump in the road, is going to help us find longevity in our journey.

When we think about our children, their health and happiness is usually one of the top things we wish for them. But this can be a touchy subject. We wouldn’t ever want our children to think that we aren’t proud of them, that we are judging them, or that we don’t approve of the way they eat. So how do we go about showing love and support to those we love the most. Our kids. We know this is a very sensitive subject and would like to make clear that we are in no way telling anyone how to parent. We are simply speaking from first-hand experience within our own lives.

This week’s episode was hard to talk about, but it needed to be done. Fat Shaming can happen even when someone has good intentions. Noticing, adjusting, and just supporting. That is what people need. Whether this person is on a wellness journey or not, kind words are always the way to go.

Some of us were raised by celebrating (or mourning) with food! And that’s ok, but we can change the way we celebrate now. And celebrate we should! On a wellness journey, we need to set goals, doable goals, crush them, and then celebrate!!! Bringing focus to these healthy habits that you are building will further enforce their importance.

After losing weight, our skin can look a little different than before. A little softer, maybe not tight, or ever have a few more wrinkles. But no matter what the case, it should not be a reason to NOT lose the weight. To NOT live your life to the fullest. We know that having a good outlook on the loose skin isn’t always easy, but we can learn to move past it and begin to embrace it.

When someone has an All or Nothing mindset while on a wellness journey, it can feel like you are constantly starting over. And that is because YOU ARE!! I had pizza for lunch, well the day is ruined! I will start again tomorrow. I went out for drinks on Friday…..there goes my weekend, guess I will start over on Monday. This is not a way to live. We talk about the struggles and how to overcome the All or Nothing mentality.

Being coaches with WW, both Rachel and Maggie have heard people just starting on a wellness journey say, “oh, well I eat out a lot so I can’t lose weight.” YES, YOU CAN!! Finding a healthy balance in your life is so important. And if having fast food is something you enjoy, then finding that balance is a must! You don’t ever want to feel deprived. And if you tell yourself that you can NEVER have fast food…..well that could lead to you wanting it all the time, feeling that deprivation, or even bingeing.
Rachel and Maggie have both lost over 100lbs and will share their favorite fast food as well as their tips to keep in on their menu.

Maggie quote #1
“Focus on the plan, you’ll lose the weight. Focus on the weight, you’ll lose the plan.” -WW member
Maggie quote #2
“What you say is what you hear, what you hear we make happen.”
“Chase a life, not a loss.” -WW Member Jan
Maggie’s ‘The Shift’ quote #1
“If your starting assumption is ‘I am worth taking care of’, you’re in a position of strength.” -Dr. Gary Foster, from the book The Shift
Maggie’s ‘The Shift’ quote #2
“Because thoughts, especially when fueled by an unhelpful thinking style, are not facts. They are simply things we say in our heads that we believe to be true.”
-Dr. Gary Foster, from the book The Shift
Rachel’s quote #1
“When you eat because you are angry or upset, what you’ll ultimately do is turn one problem into two.” -Unknown
Rachel quote #2
“You don’t have to be great to start, but you have to start to be great.” -Bob Harper
Rachel’s ‘The Shift’ quote #1
“Your character can’t be measured in M&M’s.” -Dr. Gary Foster, from the book The Shift
Rachel’s ‘The Shift’ quote #2
“Perhaps nothing crystalizes internalized weight stigma as much as the routine use of the word CHEAT. When we say someone cheated on their taxes it’s pointing out a crime. When we say a spouse cheated, it’s usually such an explosive event that it can put the marriage in jeopardy. How is eating a muffin on the same level as these things?” -Dr. Gary Foster, from the book The Shift
