Maintenance & Mindfulness: Maintenance Midweek Motivation - March 19, 2025 Mar 19, 2025

Show notes

Welcome to your Midweek Motivation!

This episode is all about progress, trust, and breaking old cycles. Are you feeling fired up? Because everything is coming together at this point! We’re talking about moving forward with hope instead of falling back into past habits, plus a little something new—the Grumpy Stomp. This week sets the stage for Personalizing The Plan, and we’re getting real about fear, avoidance, and the stories we tell ourselves. What are your thoughts and feelings really saying? Now that the initial excitement of weight loss has worn off, what’s next? It’s time to take everything you’ve learned—losing and maintaining—and use it to build lasting success. The final step? Learning to let go of fear and truly trust yourself.

Show notes

Join Gina and Program Manager Kim as they break down and dig into the tweak we see in week 10 of The Livy Method.

The Tweak This Week? Levelling Up Your Mind-Body Connection

This week, we’re setting ourselves up for what lies ahead—because this process is all about making intentional choices. How’s this week’s tweak feeling for you? If you’re noticing hunger or tiredness creeping in at night, stay mindful—the scale might be on the verge of moving! Energy dips? Totally normal. Your body is working hard. Play around with food timing and make sure you’re getting the right carbs at the right time—protein and fat can make all the difference. Keep checking in throughout the day: Hungry? Could I eat? Should I eat? And if you need Back On Track, use it! Thinking ahead to what’s next? Gina and Kim chat about what to do between groups and whether the Spring or Maintenance Program is the best fit for you. Ultimately, the goal is building awareness, knowledge, and trust in your body—so you can live your life without second-guessing what you need. No guilt, no shame, just forward momentum.
