Speaker 1 (00:02):
Whoa, I turn get a little such up. Hi am Karen.
I'm Mari, and you're listening to the touch up.
Speaker 2 (00:12):
We hope you're picking.
Speaker 1 (00:13):
Up what we're putting down. Hi, welcome back. Wow twenty
twenty six like official, he he Officially it's twenty twenty six,
like officially, like we are in twenty twenty six. Wow.
Speaker 2 (00:32):
I'm just looking around to see if like anything's just
change change or the same. Yeah, everything's just the same.
Speaker 1 (00:39):
Everything's different now.
Speaker 2 (00:41):
It's like every New Year's it's kind of you go,
I'm also older, even though it's not your birthday, but right,
still just another new year, new year, knew me, same me? Yeah, oh,
same me. I'm just older. Oh but it's not my birthday,
but it's another year. So I'm just wow. Does that
makes sense? No?
Speaker 1 (01:01):
No, but I feel like every time it's like a
new year, you go, new year, knew me. I want
to this is listen all the lessons I learned in
twenty twenty. Bit that's a wash. Yeah, great, thankful, grateful,
blah blah blah. Move on, Let's do something new, fresh fresh. Actually,
don't you feel tell me if I'm wrong. Touchies and
(01:23):
all the people listening, I feel like there's this overwhelming
sense of everyone wants like a fresh start or a
new start somehow. Do you feel that? I feel that consecutively,
like everywhere with everyone.
Speaker 2 (01:40):
Yeah, I feel that beyond New Year's yeah, just like
I feel that general every new moon, every mercuryan retrograde,
every season.
Speaker 1 (01:52):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (01:52):
People just feel a constant shift. Yeah, and a new birth,
a rebirth of your spirit and you're and I think
that's a beautiful thing.
Speaker 1 (02:03):
Yeah, I do.
Speaker 2 (02:04):
I just think that actually heavy growth through life.
Speaker 1 (02:06):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (02:07):
Yeah, sometimes we're just on, we're coasting. We're just like
coasting along. We're just like ripping it, just moving shreadingar not.
It's nice and easy and smooth, and all of a
sudden boom shift shift, that heaviness, that feeling of something
of change, of growth, and it's that's life. That's just
(02:28):
a part of this journey. It's a part of this ride.
Speaker 1 (02:30):
And you gotta go with the flow.
Speaker 2 (02:32):
Well what's your other choice?
Speaker 1 (02:33):
Well, if resistance, and that's when you start meeting weird,
weird things in your life. If you're trying to resist
what is naturally trying to flow through you. M I
think that somebody once explain that to me. Like, think
of it like water going down a stream. When the
water meets the rocks and it's trying to stop the water,
stop the flow, that's when trouble arises. Yes, so you
(02:55):
gotta just go, you do. You gotta go like a stream.
Speaker 2 (02:59):
That's how we grow. Oh yeah. And then whatever kind
of wherever your stream leads, however rough it is or
smooth it is, you have to just be in it,
whether it's good or bad, because the lessons that you
learn are just a part of it, and they're all
the gifts for you. Even and when you don't think
that they are gifts, they are.
Speaker 1 (03:20):
They are. They're just diskies in little poopy boxes. Yeah,
but it's a gift. There's a lesson in everything.
Speaker 2 (03:27):
That's how you grow. And it usually comes in those stinky,
little poopy boxes. It sure does, you know, it sure does.
Speaker 1 (03:34):
It's just hard when something comes at you and you go, okay, wait,
this is a learning experience. What can I learn from this?
Even though it feels bad and uncomfortable and there's a
change that has to be made that is only within me.
What can I learn from this moment? That's just hard
to do.
Speaker 2 (03:51):
Yeah, but there's something really beautiful that even just saying
that and being aware of that is what comes with
getting older too, you know that, whereas when you're younger
you're just like what, Oh, yeah, it's because that's where
you gain resilience. That's where resilience comes from. Resilience isn't
(04:12):
about just like falling down, getting it back up and
be like I got this. Yeah, Like that's how you
learn the definition of resilience and being aware that you
know that this too shall pass. And I'm being taught
a lesson. This is for a freaking reason, and it
hurts and it's painful, but it's for me.
Speaker 1 (04:29):
It's for me.
Speaker 2 (04:32):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (04:32):
I was talking to a friend the other day and
they were asking me. First of all, they gave me
permission to clock them, So I said, okay, like punched them. No, Like, no,
like clock check them.
Speaker 2 (04:50):
Like you have them.
Speaker 1 (04:51):
You have the permission to beat the shit out of me. No,
Like you have the permission to tell me the truth, okay.
And it was just about a love interest, and you know,
they were like overthinking something about a person that they
had an interest in, and I said, I think this
is a really good opportunity for you to learn how
(05:15):
to have a healthy relationship with something that is not
meant for you. Meaning sometimes when we want something or someone,
we develop this and they don't want us back. We
develop this obsession or weird not weird like in a
(05:38):
bad way, but just like a weird, unhealthy relationship with
this person where we try to shape shift or whatever
we have to do to like justify like why this
person doesn't want us. And so I was just trying
to explain to him, like, try to have a healthy
relationship with something that is not meant for you, so
(05:58):
walk away. The health thing to do is to go, oh,
then this wasn't supposed to be for me and walk away,
And that could be for anything. Yeah, but having a
healthy relationship with something that isn't meant to be is
also like hard to do.
Speaker 2 (06:11):
It is hard to do, Yeah, to walk away.
Speaker 1 (06:13):
From things in a healthy.
Speaker 2 (06:16):
Way, Well, you have to go through all those relationships
in your life to understand that as well. Yes, you
have to be in relationships like that with friends, with lovers,
with any associates, and yeah, until you get to a
point where you're like, this is actually easier for me
to walk away now, because it does not serve me, right,
because this is because I have to put myself first. Yeah,
(06:39):
thank you, And it takes a lot to get there.
It's a hard thing to practice, very very hard. Yeah,
truly having boundaries for yourself. Yeah, for yourself. Yeah, that's
what they're for. Yes, it's not like you're not allowed
to talk. You know, I'm not being a dick for
any other reason, but I'm setting these boundaries for myself
(06:59):
because this I'm the most important. It's like God number
one first, always me and then trickle down effect.
Speaker 1 (07:07):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (07:07):
And once you do that, it's easier to you know,
especially like dating now and putting myself out there and
finding people, like if it doesn't work and I go, okay,
that was not for me, it just was not for me.
That's this client is just not for me, this client,
this job, this house, this person, yeah, whatever it was.
(07:28):
And it doesn't mean that it's like easy to just
go eh, like you don't care because we can't spiral
for weeks. Yeah we care, we have parts, we have souls,
We really care. But it's just easier to heal from
whatever quicker.
Speaker 1 (07:42):
Yeah. Yeah. The more you practice that, definitely, the easier
it is to walk away from something that's not meant
for you, so you can have space for something that
is meant for you.
Speaker 2 (07:51):
Yeah, because there the things that are meant for you
will come. They will, they will, There's a man for
all of us. It will come. But you have to
stay open minded, you have to stay positive, you have
to be present, You have to choose love and choose gratitude,
and all those gifts will be shown to you. But
(08:13):
there's no time for resentment and not being able to
forgive people and let go and anger and hate and
all of that stuff. It's so fear based and negative.
Speaker 1 (08:26):
And it's just attracting more of the same negative. That's
all life.
Speaker 2 (08:30):
Yeah, like when it's such a dumb expression, but like
your vibe attracts your tribe, Like who what kind of
person you are? Energetically that those are the people and
those are the things that are going to come back
into your life.
Speaker 1 (08:44):
One hundred percent I agree, And that's what I want
to practice more of in twenty twenty six forever. But
like just implementing that more now that we're fresh here,
fresh eye, fresh ears, fresh everything. I'm actually excited to
have some like fresh lessons, fresh people, fresh.
Speaker 2 (09:06):
Whatever, I'm gonna have a fresh bush this year.
Speaker 1 (09:09):
Fresh bush.
Speaker 2 (09:09):
Yeah, you know, like Kim, like the skims bush. I'm
gonna grow a real one. I'm gonna show her that
it can be done and natural. Yeah, of nice freshy bush. Yeah,
I love that for you, thank you. Yeah. Yeah, nothing else.
Speaker 1 (09:30):
That's it actually the exact same, except I'm very warm
in one place, always always it is.
Speaker 2 (09:39):
Yeah, I've never done it my whole life. Really, this
is the.
Speaker 1 (09:43):
Year, not even when you were pregnant, when you were like.
Speaker 2 (09:48):
Oh god, probably don't remember, okay, Bush City don't remember. Yeah, yeah,
I do remember the first time that I shaved after
charge and uh Tim saw it and laughed very hard,
patchy not even It was all the hair was gone
(10:11):
around and then there was a perimeter of hair. What
couldn't see it? So I just left a hole like
the perimeter fair and everything was clean in the middle.
It's wild.
Speaker 1 (10:26):
You're like, so where there's hair is off limits. Yeah,
where there isn't fair game.
Speaker 2 (10:39):
It was a cool look. It was a cool look.
Speaker 1 (10:41):
It's so silly. Oh my god, yeah, dude, my hair
is falling out quite crazy. I know it'll come back.
Speaker 2 (10:48):
It's just sorry that it happens wild, so wild.
Speaker 1 (10:54):
It's a way out the moons. Moons. It's a tricky
little chickster.
Speaker 2 (10:58):
It's a tricky little tricks. And here's the thing is
that during the whole New Year knew me. Thing is
that we can't we shouldn't try things that are not
that that you cannot, like, you put these expectations on yourself.
So if you go in full force with anything, if
(11:20):
you're like i'm gonna go to the gym, I'm gonna
go on this diet, I'm gonna better myself, I'm gonna
do that, it just it usually just doesn't work like that.
It's not like the next day you wake up and
you're like, I'm this person, I'm gonna do this.
Speaker 1 (11:32):
Mentally I've totally fixed everything.
Speaker 2 (11:35):
So it is such a slow process. But having the
mentality to go in and say, Okay, I'm going to
do I'm going to stop drinking soda or I'm going
to start going for a walk three times a week.
It's taking little things that you can actually take step towards,
(11:58):
take a step towards to reach those goals. It's when
you go too big. I'm going to join the gym
and I'm going to go there. I'm gonna go five
times a week, and I'm also but on top of it,
I'm going to change my diet. On top of that,
I'm gonna stop drinking. On top of that, I'm gonna
stop smoking too. To be this series, it's going to
be a different It doesn't work. It doesn't work, and
that's why most people fall off. That's why most people
quit because they put too much on their plate. Where
(12:21):
you should just go in with that mentality that you
want to change, you want to grow, you want to
be better, but start with one tiny little thing, one
small step to mankind. There's one small leap for all
the rest of them.
Speaker 1 (12:37):
And what Morgan Freeman is saying, I agree, it's so
overwhelming to be like, Okay, there's all these things that
I would like to improve on. Help. Yeah, I do
all of those things. And it's tiny, tiny efforts, tiny
for a consistent amount of time.
Speaker 2 (12:58):
That's it. That's that's what. It's consistency with anything, with anything,
it's a practice. It's like you want to change your mindset,
you want to start healing, you want to start doing
it's a it's practice like being an athlete, like or
going into the gym every single or five to six
days a week. It's consistency and it's showing up for
(13:18):
yourself on the rag on the daily. And that's the mindset,
that's your body, that's that's it's anything.
Speaker 1 (13:26):
Yeah, So let me ask you, as somebody who has
taken their body into complete transformation.
Speaker 2 (13:32):
Thanks for nosing. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (13:33):
Absolutely. What would you suggest then for people who somebody
like me who would like to make changes that aren't
super drastic. I don't even know how I would like
(13:55):
sum myself up, but I just know that there's a
lot of people like, let's let's say for new moms,
since you are a mom and you're basically a trainer
and also a but not but I mean, you know
enough about nutrition.
Speaker 2 (14:11):
I was supposed were gonna got busy with makeup, and
I'm saying it.
Speaker 1 (14:14):
Listen, you'll do whatever you want to do at one time,
because I will. But for like nutrition and for fitness,
let's say, for like all the new moms out there, like,
how would you tackle implementing some kind of nutritional change
and fitness change?
Speaker 2 (14:38):
For weight loss? The number one thing to try to
achieve is literally calories in out, So staying in a deficit,
calorie deficit, which is a lower amount of calories than
you probably are eating already, which there's calculator for all that.
Speaker 1 (15:00):
I was going to say, how do you how does there.
Speaker 2 (15:02):
You can track, you can you can get there's apps
you can put in your weight, your age, your your
your fitness, like you what you're eating. Yes, and it
will usually deduct it by whatever. So say you're in
a it's eighteen hundred okay, sure, okay, and you're getting
(15:22):
the proper nutrition. It's it's being so mindful of your
food because ninety percent of your weight loss is going
to come from your diet. Yeah, okay, and then you
have to burn more than you are eating.
Speaker 1 (15:37):
Copy that.
Speaker 2 (15:38):
Okay, well that makes sense. Yeah, So even if that's
starting just to get your seven to ten thousand steps
a day in before you get in the gym and start,
you know, lifting, because lifting, I believe is truly the
only thing that will actually change your body composition. But
for weight loss, getting your steps in in the beginning,
(16:02):
just to get yourself moving again and eating less eat
less food, move more.
Speaker 1 (16:08):
Eat less, move more, eat less, move more. Now, I
wonder if that's tricky to do as like a mom
who's still breastfeeds.
Speaker 2 (16:18):
Yeah. I mean, because you can still hit your certain
amount of proteins and your good foods that will that
will keep you fuller longer. So things that are more
high and like your rich fatties like avocado exactly.
Speaker 1 (16:33):
Yes, lots of protein yes, yes, and you'll sneak your
protein in yeah, and.
Speaker 2 (16:37):
You'll stay nice and full, but you'll stay in that deficit,
got it.
Speaker 1 (16:43):
Got it?
Speaker 2 (16:43):
Because you can still eat the same amount of calories
but have like shitty food You can have like for
French fries and whatever. But you're like, well I'm shaying,
am I. But then you usually wind up like binge
eating afterward because it makes you hungrier and it's not
like the filling foods that keep you like nice and full.
Speaker 1 (17:00):
I don't have to do some research and see like
what I can eat not lots of, but enough of
just because I'm so hungry.
Speaker 2 (17:07):
Yeah, and you can still start it. You can still eat.
You can right now like baby step it. You don't
have to go like full right, you know?
Speaker 1 (17:13):
I say you have to like when you were when
you're growing a person, you have to eat like an
x amount of calories over what you normally would just
for you and the baby. But then also when you're breastfeeding,
you gotta eat a little bit more than you normally
would as well, because you're still making something.
Speaker 2 (17:32):
Yeah, and your body will get used to the foods
that you're eating and what times you're eating. I intermit fast.
That's how I dropped a lot of my weight. I
dropped like twenty pounds in a month or something like that,
maybe like ten. Maybe that's that's incorrect. I don't remember. Okay,
it was a lot in the first month, and that
was from I went no alcohol, no, I did like
(17:54):
no carbs. I used to like high protein, and I
started intermittent fasting, so I only ate from noon and
my last meal was at like seven o'clock. So those
are that was my window of food. And it's really
hard at first because you're like hungry in the morning
and you're really hungry at night, and then all of
a sudden, your body just gets used to it and
accustomed to it. So still to this day, six years later,
(18:16):
I don't get hungry until noon. I just don't. And
then I don't eat past I mean now like eight o'clock. Yeah,
and those are my windows and the foods that I eat,
or I try to eat really clean and nutritious and
protein heavy. So you have to eat your grams of
protein per body weight, So like I eat like one
(18:39):
hundred and thirty thirty five whatever. I mean, it's hard.
It's a lot of protein. It's a lot of protein.
But I'm also building muscle. I'm on a different journey
because I'm trying to do something else for myself. But
for anyone just starting, just don't overwhelm yourself because it
could be so complicated, and there's so many things that
people can follow now and influencers and people trying to
(19:01):
tell you one thing and then someone saying another. So
I just know what works for me, what worked for me,
which is and also there is science to back it,
which is, you know, just eat less food and move
your body more. Yeah, and that's how you're gonna That's
how weight loss begins. I know it sounds like so
(19:22):
like you're like, that's.
Speaker 1 (19:23):
Well, it's it's simple when you look at it like that. Yeah,
you make it sound simple. You just to implement it
into to have it work for you. Is the part
that you go, oh god, yeah.
Speaker 2 (19:39):
Deficit calorie deficit. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (19:41):
But now that it's like a new year and I've
you know, I'm like six months postpartum, It's I feel like, okay,
it's time. It's time to Like I really leaned into
the pregnancy thing. I did it. I had a fun experience.
I got to eat things that I never drank soda before.
It was not as big of a sugar person before
I have and eating meat in fifteen years, and so
(20:02):
I'm like, really did it. I'd never had what a burger?
I'd never had. Five guys I had never had.
Speaker 2 (20:08):
And I want flog last night?
Speaker 1 (20:10):
What's it? What's the other?
Speaker 2 (20:11):
Steak?
Speaker 1 (20:12):
Shake and steak steak and shake steak shock shakeshack shake
hick yeah whatever. I never had any of those things,
but I had it lots oftimes during like pregnancy and
after so whatever. So now that I I got all
of it out of my system and made a chubby,
cute little guy like Okay, now now what now? How
(20:34):
do I go back to eating clean like I used
to a year ago?
Speaker 2 (20:39):
Yeah? And you have and you did and you will? Yeah, no,
do't and you you you have to be the one
to be ready. There's like, no, you have to you
have to wake up and go, Okay, today's day, and
you can and we get to and you get to
how dope. How dope is that? Like, you get to
wake up and go, today's the day where I begin
my journey. Yep, to be on a Monday. It doesn't
(21:01):
have to be on a don't have to be a
new year. No, it doesn't have to be a new year.
Don't set yourself up for like something that and if
you fall off, that's okay. You can start over the
next day. To give yourself grace, to give yourself patience,
be kind to yourself through it, because it's not hard.
It's not hard. It is hard, it's not easy. It's
(21:22):
very hard for Udian slip. But it's it's setting yourself
up for the rest of your life. That's what it's doing.
That's what it's teaching you to longevity so that when
you're baby boy is eight nine years you can still
be hanging out and running around and doing waiting until
(21:43):
he starts running around and walking you have to chase
after him. Yeah, jeez, yeah, god, yeah. People want an
overnight fix obviously, because we have you're on an ozembic craze,
which is. I don't think it's a bad thing. I
think that if it's necessary, it's a great tool for
(22:06):
people an addiction.
Speaker 1 (22:07):
And people don't They just go, you're fat and lazy,
so sorry about your life. Well that's not always a case.
Food addiction is real, just like alcohol and cigarettes and
drugs and sex, and.
Speaker 2 (22:18):
It takes away that noise. It takes away I think
that people are abusing it. I think that people are
being prescribed it for that don't need it. I would
never I would hope that a doctor would look at
me and be like, no, you don't need it for
that extra five to ten pounds. That's insane.
Speaker 1 (22:34):
We're doing it for the five to ten.
Speaker 2 (22:35):
Yes, And I think that's I don't. I don't support that. Okay,
although there are doctors that are saying that, you know,
golp ones are beneficial now blah blah blah, but like
for me, I need to like have it ten years later,
twenty years later to see like the results of actually
why they are beneficial for your health regardless of weight loss.
Speaker 1 (22:55):
I think they're just saying that for addiction reasons, and
it's uh heavily out people's hormones, which is how I
got pregnant, right, So that's why they're saying they're beneficial.
But yeah, how do we know? How do we know?
Speaker 2 (23:09):
We don't.
Speaker 1 (23:10):
I mean, remember when I'm blanking on something that everybody
was like, this is gonna really raw, and then ten
years later we're like, oh shit, it's giving everybody Like
Deborah Pavera, like that's what it was a shot that
you took to not get your period.
Speaker 2 (23:29):
For the form of and was it terrible giving everyone cancer?
Speaker 1 (23:33):
Yeah, it's not good. Yeah, yeah, so that's you know.
Speaker 2 (23:35):
Yeah, but you need to you need to be smart
about you need to know that, like, you will take
this thing, you will lose weight, you lose muscle mass.
So you have to you have to train, you have
to live weights. Yeah, you have to work out. You
can't just take this and then not work out.
Speaker 1 (23:48):
Right.
Speaker 2 (23:48):
That's because we're we're thinking about our future as well.
We're thinking about our our seventy year old bodies that
we're here to protect our joints, yeah, and our bones
from like ostioporosis as old ladies, so we can just
get out of a chair and move and still be
like spunky little seventy year old women. That's why it's
(24:11):
so important. So take your little shots whatever, but make
sure that you're still as far as your fitness journey,
you're still working out, working on my fitness, working on
your pennis.
Speaker 1 (24:26):
There's just so much out there.
Speaker 2 (24:31):
Ah, it's hard to it's too much.
Speaker 1 (24:33):
It's a little too much. It's a little too much.
Speaker 2 (24:35):
It's too much. You just got to do what's best
for you. That's all.
Speaker 1 (24:39):
You just got to figure out what's best for you.
Speaker 2 (24:41):
That's all. Personally, there's no way behind I will I
will always say that physical fitness, as far as lifting weights,
is the best thing that.
Speaker 1 (24:52):
You can do for your body.
Speaker 2 (24:53):
Period.
Speaker 1 (24:54):
I've heard a lot of people say that do the
other things.
Speaker 2 (24:57):
Do the other things, walk, do pole dancing, do pilates,
do yoga, hike, swim, tennis, whatever movement move your body,
but lifting weight weightlifting is the number.
Speaker 1 (25:09):
One amazing boom. I really enjoyed it. When I was lifting,
I enjoyed it a lot. I got hot real fast.
You're already hot, you know, I mean like hot, like.
Speaker 2 (25:22):
Oh, temperature wise, heart rate would.
Speaker 1 (25:24):
Go up immediately. It was wild, wild, it was wild.
Oh man, I was lifting. Let's go, let's go, let's go.
I'm waiting for you.
Speaker 2 (25:35):
I mean, I'm not waiting. I'll be here, yeah, I know, yeah, yeah,
I know.
Speaker 1 (25:39):
Yeah. Just it takes time.
Speaker 2 (25:40):
Everything takes time. You gotta be ready. So that's that's
the only thing is that, baby, baby, step your way
towards your goal. Don't overwhelm yourself because you put that
you set that bar too high, and you usually wind
up it usually because it's too much, it's too big.
Speaker 1 (25:56):
So you're like fucking yeah, and I yeah, I think
that goes for lots of people, whether it's like alcohol
or whatever it is. I go, I'm you know what,
dry dry January, and then it's like, well, sure, if
that's what you want to do, but maybe just like
cut back in general forever.
Speaker 2 (26:13):
Yeah, cut back. Start start with cutting back, Start with
cutting back, and see how that goes.
Speaker 1 (26:18):
And see how that goes. I love that, you know,
love that.
Speaker 2 (26:22):
Yeah, instead of drinking like no, so no soda February,
No soda February.
Speaker 1 (26:27):
I know, God, a good soda with a nice burger.
Speaker 2 (26:30):
No, it's delicious, but it's not. It's not it, it's
not it. It's once every once every six weeks.
Speaker 1 (26:39):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (26:40):
Sorry, sorry, my time's coming up. And I'm really excited
for it. Good for you, thank you?

Good for you, thank you, good for you. I love.
It's very expense. It's not shee butter's warm, it's not
cheese with it.
Speaker 2 (27:03):
Why do we have so much cow?
Speaker 1 (27:06):
Why are there so many fries? So many?
Speaker 2 (27:09):
And they make so many fries their handcut. They tell
you where the potato came from. When you walk in there,
what do you mean? What are you potatoes from?
Speaker 1 (27:17):
Ohio? Ohio?
Speaker 2 (27:18):
They'll tell you where the potatoes came from that week.
They're so fresh. They go this, this potato came from Schenectady.
You're eating the Schenectady potato.
Speaker 1 (27:31):
Well, I had no idea. Well, well, I like that.
Speaker 2 (27:34):
You know where Schenectady is, though I.
Speaker 1 (27:36):
Don't know where it is. I know it's in New
York somewhere. Okay, Yeah, I actually didn't go in the
I've actually only had it once. And the one time
I had it, AJ went in and got it for us,
and I was like, why are there so many fries?
Speaker 2 (27:47):
It's the best.
Speaker 1 (27:48):
Oh, I know, I'm starving.
Speaker 2 (27:54):
We're like eat less food, more and more. Let's go out,
let's go eat, Lest's go get it back of fries.
Speaker 1 (27:59):
You know what, Fuck it, who cares. We're all gonna die.
Get some fries. Grow up. I love to tell people.
Speaker 2 (28:05):
I know it's so good.
Speaker 1 (28:07):
Grow up. Grow up. It's just a fries. Grow up,
it's your entire life. Grow up. Man. Well, we're gonna
start doing a new thing. We're gonna start doing something
called the touch up tip of the week. So every
time Marie and I and maybe even when we have guests,
maybe they have nice tips for us, we will bestow
(28:31):
upon you a little tip, a little touch up tip.
And this week, actually I think that's what you just
said to wrap that up, the touch up tip of
the week. Baby steps, Baby, don't overwhelm yourself. That's a
great tip. Perfect that's a wonderful tip, especially going into
the new year putting all this unnecessary bullshit straps on
(28:53):
yourself about how you're gonna completely change yourself inside and out.
We love that, we love that, but just do it
in baby steps.
Speaker 2 (29:03):
Coming from somebody who has you too. As far as
growth or whatever, it takes years, be really to get
to a place for your body, for your soul, for
your mind to begin healing, to be in a place
where you're and it's never ends. No, it is quite linear,
quite linear. It is always evolving. You can always be
(29:26):
better and always, but perfection does not exist. So we're
just trying to be the best we can for ourselves
whatever that means to you. Correct, So baby step baby
yourself there.
Speaker 1 (29:42):
Yeah, be gentle and kind with yourselves. And if you
really want to change deep down, it's not just like
yeah I want to just baby baby steppes.
Speaker 2 (29:53):
Yeah, maybe it's for your mind. Maybe go out and
get a journal, write it down for the first time ever. Yeah,
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (30:01):
Yeah, I don't know. I don't know.
Speaker 2 (30:03):
I don't light a candle, do a little prayer, I
don't know. Have you ever done that before?
Speaker 1 (30:06):
That help?
Speaker 2 (30:07):
Have you ever like sat in silence for a little bit?
Speaker 1 (30:09):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (30:09):
Have you ever tried to, like meditate? Just close your
eyes and just be still. Just give it a shot,
Give it a shot, give it a little shot. Start
looking different to yourself. Yeah, yes, remind yourself. I did
I did a good job today and that's enough. That's
all I can do today. Tomorrow I'll do I'll do
it again.
Speaker 1 (30:27):
I didn't drink my Sodi pop today and I feel
my bag of fries and my Soadi pop and I
feel proud of myself and say that.
Speaker 2 (30:35):
Yeah, and tomorrow I'm gonna try to do that again.
Speaker 1 (30:39):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (30:41):
Not, I'm gonna. I'm gonna I'm gonna do Yeah, I'm
gonna try my best.
Speaker 1 (30:44):
It's so much. We're all trying so hard day by day.
And if you used yeah, and if no one's told
you you're doing a good job, I.
Speaker 2 (30:52):
Think you guys are doing a really great job. Life
is not easy. It's hard out there, man, y'all are
killing it really hard. So just be kind to yourself
and start loving yourself and even liking yourself. Yeah, baby steps,
baby steps. I'm really grateful for this podcast. I'm grateful
to start the new year with a little bit different
(31:16):
of a perspective and the willingness to change the way
that I look at things and know that I am
forever changing and my perception is forever changing. And I've
got a lot of really good things around me and
a lot of good things happening, and I'm gonna.
Speaker 1 (31:36):
Do better at holding onto those I love that. Yeah, awesome, Yeah, beautiful.
Speaker 2 (31:42):
Yeah, perspective is everything.
Speaker 1 (31:44):
Perspective is everything.
Speaker 2 (31:45):
And I've sat with that, like as far as glam
I you know, I've We've been doing this such a
long time that sometimes you get burnt out or you
go what's next, or you know, should I get my
physical or my personal training license? And this and that?
And then as of recently in my stillness that I practice,
I had a moment where I went, you are you
(32:06):
have been gifted this beautiful talent that you've acquired over
so many years that you're good at and you are
who you are, grow keep growing with this, and I
forgot about it for a while. So I'm really excited
for twenty twenty six to like rock yeah, you know,
(32:28):
and me to go, wow, I'm going to take this
gift that I have and I'm going to try and
I'm going to really try. I'm try new things. I'm
going to push myself. Yeah, and a perspective shift and
because I go, what I do is really cool, It
is really Cool's a cool job, and I get to
work with really great people. And like we've talked about before,
your your vibration will just allow the same kind of
(32:50):
vibration into your life. So it's going to be those
people around me, and it's just going to do this beautiful,
harmonious dance that we all do together because that's where
I am.
Speaker 1 (33:00):
I think that's a great place to be. It's exciting,
it is there's so much new fresh change upon us
and just embracing that.
Speaker 2 (33:09):
Yeah, and I'm really really really excited for my bush.
Speaker 1 (33:12):
I'm excited for your bush too. I can't wait to
see it.
Speaker 2 (33:15):
It's gonna beautiful. I wonder if it's gonna have a
little bit of gray.
Speaker 1 (33:19):
We'll see probably TVD. Yeah, all right, we'll be updated. Yeah,
see you later. Bye bye.
Whoa, I turn get a little such up. Hi am Karen.
I'm Mari, and you're listening to the touch up.
Speaker 2 (00:12):
We hope you're picking.
Speaker 1 (00:13):
Up what we're putting down. Hi, welcome back. Wow twenty
twenty six like official, he he Officially it's twenty twenty six,
like officially, like we are in twenty twenty six. Wow.
Speaker 2 (00:32):
I'm just looking around to see if like anything's just
change change or the same. Yeah, everything's just the same.
Speaker 1 (00:39):
Everything's different now.
Speaker 2 (00:41):
It's like every New Year's it's kind of you go,
I'm also older, even though it's not your birthday, but right,
still just another new year, new year, knew me, same me? Yeah, oh,
same me. I'm just older. Oh but it's not my birthday,
but it's another year. So I'm just wow. Does that
makes sense? No?
Speaker 1 (01:01):
No, but I feel like every time it's like a
new year, you go, new year, knew me. I want
to this is listen all the lessons I learned in
twenty twenty. Bit that's a wash. Yeah, great, thankful, grateful,
blah blah blah. Move on, Let's do something new, fresh fresh. Actually,
don't you feel tell me if I'm wrong. Touchies and
(01:23):
all the people listening, I feel like there's this overwhelming
sense of everyone wants like a fresh start or a
new start somehow. Do you feel that? I feel that consecutively,
like everywhere with everyone.
Speaker 2 (01:40):
Yeah, I feel that beyond New Year's yeah, just like
I feel that general every new moon, every mercuryan retrograde,
every season.
Speaker 1 (01:52):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (01:52):
People just feel a constant shift. Yeah, and a new birth,
a rebirth of your spirit and you're and I think
that's a beautiful thing.
Speaker 1 (02:03):
Yeah, I do.
Speaker 2 (02:04):
I just think that actually heavy growth through life.
Speaker 1 (02:06):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (02:07):
Yeah, sometimes we're just on, we're coasting. We're just like
coasting along. We're just like ripping it, just moving shreadingar not.
It's nice and easy and smooth, and all of a
sudden boom shift shift, that heaviness, that feeling of something
of change, of growth, and it's that's life. That's just
(02:28):
a part of this journey. It's a part of this ride.
Speaker 1 (02:30):
And you gotta go with the flow.
Speaker 2 (02:32):
Well what's your other choice?
Speaker 1 (02:33):
Well, if resistance, and that's when you start meeting weird,
weird things in your life. If you're trying to resist
what is naturally trying to flow through you. M I
think that somebody once explain that to me. Like, think
of it like water going down a stream. When the
water meets the rocks and it's trying to stop the water,
stop the flow, that's when trouble arises. Yes, so you
(02:55):
gotta just go, you do. You gotta go like a stream.
Speaker 2 (02:59):
That's how we grow. Oh yeah. And then whatever kind
of wherever your stream leads, however rough it is or
smooth it is, you have to just be in it,
whether it's good or bad, because the lessons that you
learn are just a part of it, and they're all
the gifts for you. Even and when you don't think
that they are gifts, they are.
Speaker 1 (03:20):
They are. They're just diskies in little poopy boxes. Yeah,
but it's a gift. There's a lesson in everything.
Speaker 2 (03:27):
That's how you grow. And it usually comes in those stinky,
little poopy boxes. It sure does, you know, it sure does.
Speaker 1 (03:34):
It's just hard when something comes at you and you go, okay, wait,
this is a learning experience. What can I learn from this?
Even though it feels bad and uncomfortable and there's a
change that has to be made that is only within me.
What can I learn from this moment? That's just hard
to do.
Speaker 2 (03:51):
Yeah, but there's something really beautiful that even just saying
that and being aware of that is what comes with
getting older too, you know that, whereas when you're younger
you're just like what, Oh, yeah, it's because that's where
you gain resilience. That's where resilience comes from. Resilience isn't
(04:12):
about just like falling down, getting it back up and
be like I got this. Yeah, Like that's how you
learn the definition of resilience and being aware that you
know that this too shall pass. And I'm being taught
a lesson. This is for a freaking reason, and it
hurts and it's painful, but it's for me.
Speaker 1 (04:29):
It's for me.
Speaker 2 (04:32):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (04:32):
I was talking to a friend the other day and
they were asking me. First of all, they gave me
permission to clock them, So I said, okay, like punched them. No, Like, no,
like clock check them.
Speaker 2 (04:50):
Like you have them.
Speaker 1 (04:51):
You have the permission to beat the shit out of me. No,
Like you have the permission to tell me the truth, okay.
And it was just about a love interest, and you know,
they were like overthinking something about a person that they
had an interest in, and I said, I think this
is a really good opportunity for you to learn how
(05:15):
to have a healthy relationship with something that is not
meant for you. Meaning sometimes when we want something or someone,
we develop this and they don't want us back. We
develop this obsession or weird not weird like in a
(05:38):
bad way, but just like a weird, unhealthy relationship with
this person where we try to shape shift or whatever
we have to do to like justify like why this
person doesn't want us. And so I was just trying
to explain to him, like, try to have a healthy
relationship with something that is not meant for you, so
(05:58):
walk away. The health thing to do is to go, oh,
then this wasn't supposed to be for me and walk away,
And that could be for anything. Yeah, but having a
healthy relationship with something that isn't meant to be is
also like hard to do.
Speaker 2 (06:11):
It is hard to do, Yeah, to walk away.
Speaker 1 (06:13):
From things in a healthy.
Speaker 2 (06:16):
Way, Well, you have to go through all those relationships
in your life to understand that as well. Yes, you
have to be in relationships like that with friends, with lovers,
with any associates, and yeah, until you get to a
point where you're like, this is actually easier for me
to walk away now, because it does not serve me, right,
because this is because I have to put myself first. Yeah,
(06:39):
thank you, And it takes a lot to get there.
It's a hard thing to practice, very very hard. Yeah,
truly having boundaries for yourself. Yeah, for yourself. Yeah, that's
what they're for. Yes, it's not like you're not allowed
to talk. You know, I'm not being a dick for
any other reason, but I'm setting these boundaries for myself
(06:59):
because this I'm the most important. It's like God number
one first, always me and then trickle down effect.
Speaker 1 (07:07):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (07:07):
And once you do that, it's easier to you know,
especially like dating now and putting myself out there and
finding people, like if it doesn't work and I go, okay,
that was not for me, it just was not for me.
That's this client is just not for me, this client,
this job, this house, this person, yeah, whatever it was.
(07:28):
And it doesn't mean that it's like easy to just
go eh, like you don't care because we can't spiral
for weeks. Yeah we care, we have parts, we have souls,
We really care. But it's just easier to heal from
whatever quicker.
Speaker 1 (07:42):
Yeah. Yeah. The more you practice that, definitely, the easier
it is to walk away from something that's not meant
for you, so you can have space for something that
is meant for you.
Speaker 2 (07:51):
Yeah, because there the things that are meant for you
will come. They will, they will, There's a man for
all of us. It will come. But you have to
stay open minded, you have to stay positive, you have
to be present, You have to choose love and choose gratitude,
and all those gifts will be shown to you. But
(08:13):
there's no time for resentment and not being able to
forgive people and let go and anger and hate and
all of that stuff. It's so fear based and negative.
Speaker 1 (08:26):
And it's just attracting more of the same negative. That's
all life.
Speaker 2 (08:30):
Yeah, like when it's such a dumb expression, but like
your vibe attracts your tribe, Like who what kind of
person you are? Energetically that those are the people and
those are the things that are going to come back
into your life.
Speaker 1 (08:44):
One hundred percent I agree, And that's what I want
to practice more of in twenty twenty six forever. But
like just implementing that more now that we're fresh here,
fresh eye, fresh ears, fresh everything. I'm actually excited to
have some like fresh lessons, fresh people, fresh.
Speaker 2 (09:06):
Whatever, I'm gonna have a fresh bush this year.
Speaker 1 (09:09):
Fresh bush.
Speaker 2 (09:09):
Yeah, you know, like Kim, like the skims bush. I'm
gonna grow a real one. I'm gonna show her that
it can be done and natural. Yeah, of nice freshy bush. Yeah,
I love that for you, thank you. Yeah. Yeah, nothing else.
Speaker 1 (09:30):
That's it actually the exact same, except I'm very warm
in one place, always always it is.
Speaker 2 (09:39):
Yeah, I've never done it my whole life. Really, this
is the.
Speaker 1 (09:43):
Year, not even when you were pregnant, when you were like.
Speaker 2 (09:48):
Oh god, probably don't remember, okay, Bush City don't remember. Yeah, yeah,
I do remember the first time that I shaved after
charge and uh Tim saw it and laughed very hard,
patchy not even It was all the hair was gone
(10:11):
around and then there was a perimeter of hair. What
couldn't see it? So I just left a hole like
the perimeter fair and everything was clean in the middle.
It's wild.
Speaker 1 (10:26):
You're like, so where there's hair is off limits. Yeah,
where there isn't fair game.
Speaker 2 (10:39):
It was a cool look. It was a cool look.
Speaker 1 (10:41):
It's so silly. Oh my god, yeah, dude, my hair
is falling out quite crazy. I know it'll come back.
Speaker 2 (10:48):
It's just sorry that it happens wild, so wild.
Speaker 1 (10:54):
It's a way out the moons. Moons. It's a tricky
little chickster.
Speaker 2 (10:58):
It's a tricky little tricks. And here's the thing is
that during the whole New Year knew me. Thing is
that we can't we shouldn't try things that are not
that that you cannot, like, you put these expectations on yourself.
So if you go in full force with anything, if
(11:20):
you're like i'm gonna go to the gym, I'm gonna
go on this diet, I'm gonna better myself, I'm gonna
do that, it just it usually just doesn't work like that.
It's not like the next day you wake up and
you're like, I'm this person, I'm gonna do this.
Speaker 1 (11:32):
Mentally I've totally fixed everything.
Speaker 2 (11:35):
So it is such a slow process. But having the
mentality to go in and say, Okay, I'm going to
do I'm going to stop drinking soda or I'm going
to start going for a walk three times a week.
It's taking little things that you can actually take step towards,
(11:58):
take a step towards to reach those goals. It's when
you go too big. I'm going to join the gym
and I'm going to go there. I'm gonna go five
times a week, and I'm also but on top of it,
I'm going to change my diet. On top of that,
I'm gonna stop drinking. On top of that, I'm gonna
stop smoking too. To be this series, it's going to
be a different It doesn't work. It doesn't work, and
that's why most people fall off. That's why most people
quit because they put too much on their plate. Where
(12:21):
you should just go in with that mentality that you
want to change, you want to grow, you want to
be better, but start with one tiny little thing, one
small step to mankind. There's one small leap for all
the rest of them.
Speaker 1 (12:37):
And what Morgan Freeman is saying, I agree, it's so
overwhelming to be like, Okay, there's all these things that
I would like to improve on. Help. Yeah, I do
all of those things. And it's tiny, tiny efforts, tiny
for a consistent amount of time.
Speaker 2 (12:58):
That's it. That's that's what. It's consistency with anything, with anything,
it's a practice. It's like you want to change your mindset,
you want to start healing, you want to start doing
it's a it's practice like being an athlete, like or
going into the gym every single or five to six
days a week. It's consistency and it's showing up for
(13:18):
yourself on the rag on the daily. And that's the mindset,
that's your body, that's that's it's anything.
Speaker 1 (13:26):
Yeah, So let me ask you, as somebody who has
taken their body into complete transformation.
Speaker 2 (13:32):
Thanks for nosing. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (13:33):
Absolutely. What would you suggest then for people who somebody
like me who would like to make changes that aren't
super drastic. I don't even know how I would like
(13:55):
sum myself up, but I just know that there's a
lot of people like, let's let's say for new moms,
since you are a mom and you're basically a trainer
and also a but not but I mean, you know
enough about nutrition.
Speaker 2 (14:11):
I was supposed were gonna got busy with makeup, and
I'm saying it.
Speaker 1 (14:14):
Listen, you'll do whatever you want to do at one time,
because I will. But for like nutrition and for fitness,
let's say, for like all the new moms out there, like,
how would you tackle implementing some kind of nutritional change
and fitness change?
Speaker 2 (14:38):
For weight loss? The number one thing to try to
achieve is literally calories in out, So staying in a deficit,
calorie deficit, which is a lower amount of calories than
you probably are eating already, which there's calculator for all that.
Speaker 1 (15:00):
I was going to say, how do you how does there.
Speaker 2 (15:02):
You can track, you can you can get there's apps
you can put in your weight, your age, your your
your fitness, like you what you're eating. Yes, and it
will usually deduct it by whatever. So say you're in
a it's eighteen hundred okay, sure, okay, and you're getting
(15:22):
the proper nutrition. It's it's being so mindful of your
food because ninety percent of your weight loss is going
to come from your diet. Yeah, okay, and then you
have to burn more than you are eating.
Speaker 1 (15:37):
Copy that.
Speaker 2 (15:38):
Okay, well that makes sense. Yeah, So even if that's
starting just to get your seven to ten thousand steps
a day in before you get in the gym and start,
you know, lifting, because lifting, I believe is truly the
only thing that will actually change your body composition. But
for weight loss, getting your steps in in the beginning,
(16:02):
just to get yourself moving again and eating less eat
less food, move more.
Speaker 1 (16:08):
Eat less, move more, eat less, move more. Now, I
wonder if that's tricky to do as like a mom
who's still breastfeeds.
Speaker 2 (16:18):
Yeah. I mean, because you can still hit your certain
amount of proteins and your good foods that will that
will keep you fuller longer. So things that are more
high and like your rich fatties like avocado exactly.
Speaker 1 (16:33):
Yes, lots of protein yes, yes, and you'll sneak your
protein in yeah, and.
Speaker 2 (16:37):
You'll stay nice and full, but you'll stay in that deficit,
got it.
Speaker 1 (16:43):
Got it?
Speaker 2 (16:43):
Because you can still eat the same amount of calories
but have like shitty food You can have like for
French fries and whatever. But you're like, well I'm shaying,
am I. But then you usually wind up like binge
eating afterward because it makes you hungrier and it's not
like the filling foods that keep you like nice and full.
Speaker 1 (17:00):
I don't have to do some research and see like
what I can eat not lots of, but enough of
just because I'm so hungry.
Speaker 2 (17:07):
Yeah, and you can still start it. You can still eat.
You can right now like baby step it. You don't
have to go like full right, you know?
Speaker 1 (17:13):
I say you have to like when you were when
you're growing a person, you have to eat like an
x amount of calories over what you normally would just
for you and the baby. But then also when you're breastfeeding,
you gotta eat a little bit more than you normally
would as well, because you're still making something.
Speaker 2 (17:32):
Yeah, and your body will get used to the foods
that you're eating and what times you're eating. I intermit fast.
That's how I dropped a lot of my weight. I
dropped like twenty pounds in a month or something like that,
maybe like ten. Maybe that's that's incorrect. I don't remember. Okay,
it was a lot in the first month, and that
was from I went no alcohol, no, I did like
(17:54):
no carbs. I used to like high protein, and I
started intermittent fasting, so I only ate from noon and
my last meal was at like seven o'clock. So those
are that was my window of food. And it's really
hard at first because you're like hungry in the morning
and you're really hungry at night, and then all of
a sudden, your body just gets used to it and
accustomed to it. So still to this day, six years later,
(18:16):
I don't get hungry until noon. I just don't. And
then I don't eat past I mean now like eight o'clock. Yeah,
and those are my windows and the foods that I eat,
or I try to eat really clean and nutritious and
protein heavy. So you have to eat your grams of
protein per body weight, So like I eat like one
(18:39):
hundred and thirty thirty five whatever. I mean, it's hard.
It's a lot of protein. It's a lot of protein.
But I'm also building muscle. I'm on a different journey
because I'm trying to do something else for myself. But
for anyone just starting, just don't overwhelm yourself because it
could be so complicated, and there's so many things that
people can follow now and influencers and people trying to
(19:01):
tell you one thing and then someone saying another. So
I just know what works for me, what worked for me,
which is and also there is science to back it,
which is, you know, just eat less food and move
your body more. Yeah, and that's how you're gonna That's
how weight loss begins. I know it sounds like so
(19:22):
like you're like, that's.
Speaker 1 (19:23):
Well, it's it's simple when you look at it like that. Yeah,
you make it sound simple. You just to implement it
into to have it work for you. Is the part
that you go, oh god, yeah.
Speaker 2 (19:39):
Deficit calorie deficit. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (19:41):
But now that it's like a new year and I've
you know, I'm like six months postpartum, It's I feel like, okay,
it's time. It's time to Like I really leaned into
the pregnancy thing. I did it. I had a fun experience.
I got to eat things that I never drank soda before.
It was not as big of a sugar person before
I have and eating meat in fifteen years, and so
(20:02):
I'm like, really did it. I'd never had what a burger?
I'd never had. Five guys I had never had.
Speaker 2 (20:08):
And I want flog last night?
Speaker 1 (20:10):
What's it? What's the other?
Speaker 2 (20:11):
Steak?
Speaker 1 (20:12):
Shake and steak steak and shake steak shock shakeshack shake
hick yeah whatever. I never had any of those things,
but I had it lots oftimes during like pregnancy and
after so whatever. So now that I I got all
of it out of my system and made a chubby,
cute little guy like Okay, now now what now? How
(20:34):
do I go back to eating clean like I used
to a year ago?
Speaker 2 (20:39):
Yeah? And you have and you did and you will? Yeah, no,
do't and you you you have to be the one
to be ready. There's like, no, you have to you
have to wake up and go, Okay, today's day, and
you can and we get to and you get to
how dope. How dope is that? Like, you get to
wake up and go, today's the day where I begin
my journey. Yep, to be on a Monday. It doesn't
(21:01):
have to be on a don't have to be a
new year. No, it doesn't have to be a new year.
Don't set yourself up for like something that and if
you fall off, that's okay. You can start over the
next day. To give yourself grace, to give yourself patience,
be kind to yourself through it, because it's not hard.
It's not hard. It is hard, it's not easy. It's
(21:22):
very hard for Udian slip. But it's it's setting yourself
up for the rest of your life. That's what it's doing.
That's what it's teaching you to longevity so that when
you're baby boy is eight nine years you can still
be hanging out and running around and doing waiting until
(21:43):
he starts running around and walking you have to chase
after him. Yeah, jeez, yeah, god, yeah. People want an
overnight fix obviously, because we have you're on an ozembic craze,
which is. I don't think it's a bad thing. I
think that if it's necessary, it's a great tool for
(22:06):
people an addiction.
Speaker 1 (22:07):
And people don't They just go, you're fat and lazy,
so sorry about your life. Well that's not always a case.
Food addiction is real, just like alcohol and cigarettes and
drugs and sex, and.
Speaker 2 (22:18):
It takes away that noise. It takes away I think
that people are abusing it. I think that people are
being prescribed it for that don't need it. I would
never I would hope that a doctor would look at
me and be like, no, you don't need it for
that extra five to ten pounds. That's insane.
Speaker 1 (22:34):
We're doing it for the five to ten.
Speaker 2 (22:35):
Yes, And I think that's I don't. I don't support that. Okay,
although there are doctors that are saying that, you know,
golp ones are beneficial now blah blah blah, but like
for me, I need to like have it ten years later,
twenty years later to see like the results of actually
why they are beneficial for your health regardless of weight loss.
Speaker 1 (22:55):
I think they're just saying that for addiction reasons, and
it's uh heavily out people's hormones, which is how I
got pregnant, right, So that's why they're saying they're beneficial.
But yeah, how do we know? How do we know?
Speaker 2 (23:09):
We don't.
Speaker 1 (23:10):
I mean, remember when I'm blanking on something that everybody
was like, this is gonna really raw, and then ten
years later we're like, oh shit, it's giving everybody Like
Deborah Pavera, like that's what it was a shot that
you took to not get your period.
Speaker 2 (23:29):
For the form of and was it terrible giving everyone cancer?
Speaker 1 (23:33):
Yeah, it's not good. Yeah, yeah, so that's you know.
Speaker 2 (23:35):
Yeah, but you need to you need to be smart
about you need to know that, like, you will take
this thing, you will lose weight, you lose muscle mass.
So you have to you have to train, you have
to live weights. Yeah, you have to work out. You
can't just take this and then not work out.
Speaker 1 (23:48):
Right.
Speaker 2 (23:48):
That's because we're we're thinking about our future as well.
We're thinking about our our seventy year old bodies that
we're here to protect our joints, yeah, and our bones
from like ostioporosis as old ladies, so we can just
get out of a chair and move and still be
like spunky little seventy year old women. That's why it's
(24:11):
so important. So take your little shots whatever, but make
sure that you're still as far as your fitness journey,
you're still working out, working on my fitness, working on
your pennis.
Speaker 1 (24:26):
There's just so much out there.
Speaker 2 (24:31):
Ah, it's hard to it's too much.
Speaker 1 (24:33):
It's a little too much. It's a little too much.
Speaker 2 (24:35):
It's too much. You just got to do what's best
for you. That's all.
Speaker 1 (24:39):
You just got to figure out what's best for you.
Speaker 2 (24:41):
That's all. Personally, there's no way behind I will I
will always say that physical fitness, as far as lifting weights,
is the best thing that.
Speaker 1 (24:52):
You can do for your body.
Speaker 2 (24:53):
Period.
Speaker 1 (24:54):
I've heard a lot of people say that do the
other things.
Speaker 2 (24:57):
Do the other things, walk, do pole dancing, do pilates,
do yoga, hike, swim, tennis, whatever movement move your body,
but lifting weight weightlifting is the number.
Speaker 1 (25:09):
One amazing boom. I really enjoyed it. When I was lifting,
I enjoyed it a lot. I got hot real fast.
You're already hot, you know, I mean like hot, like.
Speaker 2 (25:22):
Oh, temperature wise, heart rate would.
Speaker 1 (25:24):
Go up immediately. It was wild, wild, it was wild.
Oh man, I was lifting. Let's go, let's go, let's go.
I'm waiting for you.
Speaker 2 (25:35):
I mean, I'm not waiting. I'll be here, yeah, I know, yeah, yeah,
I know.
Speaker 1 (25:39):
Yeah. Just it takes time.
Speaker 2 (25:40):
Everything takes time. You gotta be ready. So that's that's
the only thing is that, baby, baby, step your way
towards your goal. Don't overwhelm yourself because you put that
you set that bar too high, and you usually wind
up it usually because it's too much, it's too big.
Speaker 1 (25:56):
So you're like fucking yeah, and I yeah, I think
that goes for lots of people, whether it's like alcohol
or whatever it is. I go, I'm you know what,
dry dry January, and then it's like, well, sure, if
that's what you want to do, but maybe just like
cut back in general forever.
Speaker 2 (26:13):
Yeah, cut back. Start start with cutting back, Start with
cutting back, and see how that goes.
Speaker 1 (26:18):

time Marie and I and maybe even when we have guests,
maybe they have nice tips for us, we will bestow
(28:31):
upon you a little tip, a little touch up tip.
And this week, actually I think that's what you just
said to wrap that up, the touch up tip of
the week. Baby steps, Baby, don't overwhelm yourself. That's a
great tip. Perfect that's a wonderful tip, especially going into
the new year putting all this unnecessary bullshit straps on
(28:53):
yourself about how you're gonna completely change yourself inside and out.
We love that, we love that, but just do it
in baby steps.
Speaker 2 (29:03):
Coming from somebody who has you too. As far as
growth or whatever, it takes years, be really to get
to a place for your body, for your soul, for
your mind to begin healing, to be in a place
where you're and it's never ends. No, it is quite linear,
quite linear. It is always evolving. You can always be
(29:26):
better and always, but perfection does not exist. So we're
just trying to be the best we can for ourselves
whatever that means to you. Correct, So baby step baby
yourself there.
Speaker 1 (29:42):
Yeah, be gentle and kind with yourselves. And if you
really want to change deep down, it's not just like
yeah I want to just baby baby steppes.
Speaker 2 (29:53):
Yeah, maybe it's for your mind. Maybe go out and
get a journal, write it down for the first time ever. Yeah,
I don't know.

looking different to yourself. Yeah, yes, remind yourself. I did
I did a good job today and that's enough. That's
all I can do today. Tomorrow I'll do I'll do
it again.
