0:00.0	I still hate that morning protein, but I do it every single day. And I will add a cool mindset shift
0:09.7	that that did for me. There is real power in doing something that reminds you who you are becoming,
0:24.0	embodying the future version of yourself, in doing a ritual or a habit that says, this is who I am.
0:28.8	You know, if you wake up in the morning and you immediately go into your meditation and you do
0:33.8	gratitude work, that says something to your whole self about who you are and how
0:39.9	you're going to show up in this day. And as much as I hate that morning protein, first thing in the
0:45.8	morning, I'm like, oh yeah, I'm on this plan. I'm doing this experiment. This is what I'm doing.
0:51.2	I do the hard thing. First thing, within 30 minutes, and it kickstarts the day.
1:03.3	Hey guys, it's Rach. Welcome to the show. I'm so glad that you're here with us today. And I have a favor, which sounds kind of harsh if we just met,
1:12.5	but I'm assuming that most of you have been a part of this community for a hot minute. And so I got
1:17.6	to ask, are you subscribed to the podcast? Subscribing to the podcast you listen to regularly is one of
1:24.6	the best things that you can do for hosts like me. It helps to support the show
1:29.5	and the staff that works on it. It ensures that you never miss an episode when we drop a new one.
1:35.5	And here's a cool thing about subscribing. If you do it, and then you hate this show, just unsubscribe.
1:41.9	It's one click away. In the meantime, if you're listening, we would so appreciate it if you would just tap that button and make it official.
1:59.3	Hi guys, it's Rach. Welcome to another episode of the podcast and it's Friday. Because it's
2:06.9	Friday, we're doing something that's a little lighter, a little brighter, more conversational,
2:12.2	but something I really think you guys are going to love. Honestly, I'm betting that you're going to love it because
2:18.3	this is the exact kind of podcast. I wish I could listen to other women do, which is all about
2:26.7	paramenopause and weight gain. Or more specifically, in the case of what I'm going to share today,
2:33.7	weight loss. I'm going to share today, weight loss.
2:35.0	I'm going to just talk you through everything I am doing.
