Hello and welcome to this episode of the ESG Fitness podcast. I have Tony with me. Hey Tony, how are you? Hello. Are you well? Well, I know you're well, but I am well generally, but no, I've got a cold, so I'm being a bit of a poorly pants this morning, it'd be all fine. Lots of people have had this

haven't this. I've just got to suck it up. Oh my God. I think the other week, I think almost all

of my check-ins, people had a cold. I was like, oh. I was feeling a bit smug that I'd got away

with this. And no, it's bit me on the bum now that I don't come down with it.

I'm not going to wallow in this. I'm going to try and work out later on. Nothing too intense,

but I'm just like, no, it's not going to get the better of me. We'll see. We'll see how that

translates. Yeah. Yeah, it is so hard. It's one of the most common questions we get is like, how do you know whether to work out or not?

Like, and how do I stay motivated if I can't exercise or how do I stay motivated when I feel like craps? I've got a cold.

And look, part of this is like everyone feels crap when they feel ill. Nobody feels motivated when they feel ill.

There's actually nothing you can do about that. You just have to kind of pass the time i always try and think how will i feel when i'm better like will i be proud of the way

that i dealt with that this is the same with like when i played up my back last week and stuff it's like well

you know will i be proud of how i dealt with this, hopefully when the blur-ups gone?

Yeah.

I think if I feel like moving, which I do, I know I'll feel better for that.

I'm not up to doing like a full-on workout that I'd planned, but I will feel better for moving.

So the very fact I feel like that tells me that yeah just have a go rather than thinking oh nothing

bad's going to happen if I try it and it doesn't work out you know yeah okay should we um

we're going to do short sharp one today so should we do one question yeah not question sorry the first

question that would be short.

Is it really bad to try weight loss medication and see how it makes me feel helps?

I really feel like I need a jumpstart and a boost to help motivate me.

I feel like if I lost a few pounds, it would really help longer term.
