0:00.0	You're listening to Biceps After Babies Radio, episode 363.
0:05.7	Hello and welcome to Biceps After Babies Radio, a podcast for ladies who know that fitness is
0:11.5	about so much more than pounds lost or PRs. It's about feeling confident in your skin and
0:16.6	empowered in your life. I'm your host, Amber Breezicki, a registered nurse, personal trainer,
0:22.4	wife, and mom of four. Each week, my guests and I will excite and motivate you to take action
0:28.1	in your own personal fitness as we talk about nutrition, exercise, mindset, personal development,
0:34.1	and executing life with conscious intention. If your goal is to look, feel, and be strong
0:39.4	and experience transformation from the inside out, you, my friend, are in the right place.
0:44.1	Thank you for tuning in. Now let's jump into today's episode.

1:29.6	doing a lot of cardio or you're working out a ton and yet the scale is going in the opposite
1:35.0	direction of what you want, that was Heidi. She talks about gaining 20 pounds despite running
1:39.8	hundreds of miles and just having this idea that like I'm doing so much cardio, I'm working out a ton,
1:46.3	why can't I just eat whatever it is that I want? And then she was able to finally find sustainable
1:51.6	habits and sustainable weight loss through macrocutting. So what I love so much about the I Did It
1:58.8	series where we interview our clients is that they're so
