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.

Is it a craving or are you truly hungry? Today we chat about how not being mindful about our eating can lead down a slippery slope.

This week we are together in person discussing vacation mode and how to navigate choices about food and movement when you are out of your normal routine.

Today we discuss the importance of resistance training, share some startling statistics and our own experience with adding it into our routines. You can reach us at offthescaleunfiltered@gmail.com.

This week we discuss the challenges that we face with regards to support when we are making changes in our lifestyle that the people in our lives may or may not be on board with.

Today we discuss setting boundaries and focusing on the non-negotiable habits that have led to success in the past.

We share some of our ideas about moving out of a "diet" and into a temporary or full maintenance plan. We were fighting with connectivity issues so we had to edit pretty heavily. Bear with us as we make our way through the learning process of podcasting from BFE.
