Oh, yeah. Hello, everybody and welcome to the Burn Fat with Your Brain podcast. I hope you're having a great week. I had something come up a couple

times that I was like, oh, I don't think I've ever recorded a podcast on this. And so it came

up in a coaching call. And then it came up when I posted something on TikTok, someone requesting

that I do a podcast to explain how I made the transition from working out for weight loss

and burning calories to working out every single day for my mental health. And really, I even

said that wrong, going from somebody who never worked out to somebody who now works out every single day.

So, like, how did I make that transition? And the answer to that question is I stopped working

out for weight loss and I started working out to support my mental health. This distinction is

very important because I always hated working out so

much. I hated it. And of course, there are other things that contributed to that, like my

expectation for what I needed to do and how often I needed to do it. And it was just something that I

loathed doing. So something I want to say is I never, ever consider

working out to burn calories. That's not even a sentence that runs through my brain anymore,

which is funny because I tell people that a lot of your thoughts aren't ever going to go away,

like thoughts that you're trying to change and get rid of, they probably won't ever go completely

away. But this is one that doesn't even make it into my head anymore. And I think it's just because of

the way that I see movement now. Because burning calories was never a compelling enough reason

for me in the past. and it isn't compelling now.

I never, like, I have an aura ring. It does track stuff. It's the least helpful feature of an

aura ring, in my opinion. I love it for the other data that it tracks, but the activity tracking

is definitely its least helpful feature that it has. So it does track it. I never look at that.

I don't even look at my steps that I've walked unless I'm like on a trip. I just don't have that
