| 0:00.0 | Hello and welcome to this episode of the ESG Fitness podcast. I don't actually know exactly what I'm |
| 0:05.5 | going to talk about today, but I do have three things I want to talk about and then maybe something |
| 0:10.4 | else. We'll, we'll see. So the first thing I'm going to tell you about is my Envisaline. |
| 0:15.9 | So for those of you who have been following very closely on my Envisal journey, I'm sure there are |
| 0:20.5 | exactly none of you. |
| 0:22.6 | I think, so I'm at the end, right? I'm technically at the end of what they said. So it must have |
| 0:27.3 | been about a year, I guess. Or anyway, it's been 32 aligners worth of straightening my teeth. So I went in and they were like, |
| 0:40.5 | okay, you are going to need a few more aligners. And I was like, yeah, because those bottom teeth, |
| 0:45.1 | they're not, I'm not happy with them yet. Okay, fine. So anyway, I go back in 16 more aligners. |

| 1:09.3 | last little bit of fat to lose, that last five pounds or so, it is by far the hardest. |
| 1:16.4 | Much like that probably those last little bits of like getting your teeth straight |
| 1:20.8 | are by far the hardest. |
| 1:22.2 | And this actually kind of links into the 80-20 principle. |
| 1:25.8 | I think the best way to, or the analogy that clicks for me the most |
| 1:31.0 | with the 80-20 principle, not analogy example that clicks for me most, is if you're making |
| 1:38.4 | something like a presentation, it probably takes you 20% of the time to do 80% of the content, but then to make it flow perfectly |
| 1:47.7 | and to add in some references and to make it all look nice and stuff, it takes like an extra |
| 1:53.0 | 80% of time, right? Same kind of principle. It's like actually the start of something is |
| 1:59.6 | often you make these huge |
