We are literally all over the place today with a potpourri of topics. It's cawfee tawk...we are verklempt...talk amongst yourselves...

Phew...something that most of us do on the regular...overthink. This week we chat about how we both are doing this and how we need to embrace the wins and acknowledge that we are already there and just need to ride it out.

Today we chat with Sam who has experienced a 140 pound weight loss pairing GLP-1's with hard work in the gym and equally rewarding work on her mindset. This is a candid and heartfelt conversation that sheds a more positive light on GLP-1's as well as reminding us that while our journey's may differ, we all want the same result...a healthier and stronger body and mind.

We just chat it up today and discuss the changes we have made to keep us moving in the right direction. 

We are discussing how it often feels that we are never happy with our success or achievements because we are looking for "perfection". Perfection is elusive so at what point can we appreciate where we are and how we look while continuing to hone and change.  Why don't we see ourselves in our mind the way that others see us or even what we see in the mirror. 

This week we talk about the fact that motivation is fluid and that we can't depend on it to keep us moving towards our goals.
