Summary
Sometimes you just have to be honest with yourself and, when it comes to my latest efforts regarding my diet and training, I have to accept the fact that a seven week plateau is probably a sign that I've found myself doing 'just enough' instead of 'what's required to make change'.
That doesn't mean I'm defeated, far from it. I'd rather be realistic and adjust now than keep going for another six weeks and find myself in the same position. I've given it a fair crack but the science would say, I'm not doing enough (in the episode, I explain why this is actually really valuable data).
Outside of that, I need your TV recommendations. I love my Bravo schedule and I never miss a vlog from Victoria but after enjoying The Night Manager 2 so much, I need a fix of something complicated and delicious to follow to watch.
Please do let me know your suggestions over on substack and make sure you're following me on instagram for all my updates on the podcast, beauty, health, food and fitness.

| 0:00.0 | Hello, hi and welcome to another episode of The Emma Gunn Show. How are you? How's your week going so far? I know we're at the beginning of the week, so how is your weekend and how is your February going? It feels as though the year is sort of flying by, but also January lasted forever, |
| 0:24.1 | but I also now can't remember January, and it were only two weeks into February. |
| 0:28.3 | Oh, strange times. |
| 0:29.6 | And if you are in the UK, you will also be enjoying some of the most miserable flipping weather. |
| 0:36.6 | I think I can remember for a really, really long time. |
| 0:41.6 | It has been absolute stair rod rain. In fact, I went out yesterday for a walk. I was like, |
| 0:47.2 | I will not be defeated by the rain. I want to get at least half an hour of walking in because |
| 0:52.5 | walking outside is so good mentally and physically and |
| 0:55.3 | emotionally and I did it around a park that was completely deserted because everybody else knew |
| 1:01.0 | that it was a stupid idea to go for a walk but I did it but there is it's just been constant rain |
| 1:07.2 | and also now funnily enough I am staring out of the window having about |
| 1:12.6 | 40 minutes ago there was an absolute proper rainstorm. It is now the most beautiful sunshine. |
| 1:18.4 | So there is hope on the horizon. There is hope on the horizon that sunnier times are coming. |
| 1:24.0 | And also it's that kind of sun that's not, it is wintery, but there's a little bit |
| 1:27.9 | of spring in it, you know what I mean? There's like a warmth to it that's quite nice. So anyway, |
| 1:31.5 | that's where I'm at and I hope that you are in a really good place to you, but it has been cold, wet and miserable. But let's not focus on that. Not to sound like a broken record, but I am in the first part of this episode. |
| 1:42.5 | I'm going to talk about my new diet and my nutrition. |
| 1:46.0 | I was about to say diet and nutrition. |
| 1:47.6 | My new nutrition. but I am in the first part of this episode I'm going to talk about my new diet and my nutrition I was |
| 1:46.1 | about to say diet and nutrition my new nutrition and training program because I've made I've got some |
| 1:52.1 | thoughts and I've made some changes well I'm making some changes so let's set the scene if you are |
| 1:58.3 | just coming into this or even if you've been following following along let's just just to do this justice at the beginning of the year I decided to commit |
