Hello and welcome to this episode of the ESG Fitness podcast. Today I have three of my four coaches

with me, which is very exciting. Andy, how are you? All good. Alive. Always a bonus. We're all

waiting for Andy's baby to arrive. Oh, can we cancel that,

please? We're not talking about it. Oh, okay. Sorry, right. Moving on. I'm good. Thank you. Yeah,

really good. Um, in Barbados. I am. I am. I am as rolling highs. Yeah, no, it's really good. It's lovely here. Sorry. No, I'm glad. Do you know what? I was speaking to an AFM coach about this today and she was like, oh, I'm going to, I think she's going to Portugal, but she's like, I'm a bit worried about showing it in case people think I'm rubbing it in their face and stuff. And I'm like, I love seeing, like, people away having fun, even if it's, like, it is literally dark now. It's not even 4 p.m. yet. Like, the day has ended. But I'm like, great that, like, I love seeing Ruth go off do other stuff.

I think it's kind of a case of, like, victim mentality, isn't it? Like, I don't want to see anyone else having fun if I'm not. I'm like, show me the people having fun. I'll just live through them.

other people are like no I want to see it I want to see it oh I was obsessed with it in COVID I remember

when Darren went to Australia and I was like show me the sun like I need to see these things like

I can't be outside at the moment.

Yeah. And we also have Maureen, newest recruit. How are you? I am well, thanks. I'm better

after my nap. Are you well? I'm very well. Yeah. Happy to be here. What's the crack? Not much crack now today. I wish I was

in Barbados, but we can just have a figment of my imagination. Where you live seems very close

to Barbados anyway. Oh God. Like it'd be hard to distinguish now, I'd have to tell you.

Okay, well, Ruth, you're the question master, as usual.

Yes, I've got them here.

You ready?

It's a longer question.

It says, can you talk more about environment and habits?

I try to keep my home pretty healthy with the fun foods every once in a while, but lately I've been buying chocolate. I think it's for comfort, and I end up eating a bar a night. And now with the holidays, all the offices are filled with chocolates, etc. How do you handle environments you don't have control over? And why am I tricking myself thinking that I won't eat chocolate I buy for the house clearly a Jekyll and Hyde over here she said that not me um it is

harder when environments change at this time of year and especially when you're not in barbedoves
