Yes- so I preface this by saying it is Shaun T- however the podcasts are free and he only mentions his programs a few times + his advertisements that probably pay for the podcast. I wouldn't share if it was just a giant ad though
Podcast Name: Trust and Believe with Shaun T
Episode 234 Finishing Strong
Episode 222- How to mentally get through a tough workout
Episode 216- 12 ways to stay committed all year
Episode 214- three things to do after your workout for success
All of them are really good and got me back in the right mental headspace.3 -
Picking a really awesome playlist on apple music to get my lifting done. Yesterday I wasn't done work until after 11 pm and I wasn't sure how my 4:30 workout would go- but it was fire. Managed to lift 10 lbs more as well! 1

Chating with a friend on the phone, wile walking. Then taking a longer walk so I can keep Chating.4

Knowing that I had lunch planned and ready to cook and being able to augment my breakfast by 200 calories on a day when I knew I was going to be doing hard physical work before lunch. That way I didn't come to lunch starving and I feel pretty much okay and will be able to handle the usual dinner and snack regimen.3
-
Having a really colorful visually satisfying lunch today (big salad) really helped me slow down when eating and increased the pleasure of the meal. When I wasn't fighting my cat over the spring mix greens, anyway.6

I worked out to a youtube video today, and it helped ne get my cardio up a notch4

Walking.1

Listening to YouTube Self- Affirmations, not necessarily related to weight loss but mostly positive and powerful affirmations. At the end, weight loss starts from your mind and determination. I realized the only times I was successful in my weight loss journey were the times I loved myself no matter what shape or weight.. The more love and care I gave myself, the easier it was. And on the opposite hand, when I went through low confidence phases, and self-sabotaging and blame, the more difficult it was to lose weight.5

Reading these wonderful posts and getting back on track! Thank you all!2

Getting up and doing exercise right away. I did nearly 90 minutes (30 minutes cardio tabata workout with Amy from Bodyfit, 25 minutes Scottish Ballet beginners 55+, 15 arms workout with light dumbbells, 15 minutes rowing - 3km) and was very pleased with myself.1

Doing what the person above me did! Cardio Tabata with Amy from Bodyfit, and 15 minutes of abs. Thanks for the inspiration @charmmeth

Logging what I am going to eat before I eat it. Drinking a gallon of water by 6 pm. AND buying a 200.00 Varidesk to stand while I zoom. I burn an extra 200 calories and I don't feel like a slob at the end of the day for sitting all day.5

went to steak place, no bread, loaded up vegetables on baked potato, ate very little of potato, mostly broccoli, peas, tomatoes, onions and cheese.2
-
Eating a vegetable with every meal. Kept me fuller.5
-
-
Being sure to get all my protein grams!3

Walking after dinner with my boyfriend. (Also, ASO ankle braces so my ankles behaved themselves.)1
-
I went on a Trader Joe's run and it's an hour away, so I always buy in bulk. My pantry is FULL of amazing treats right now. I was all excited to enjoy some Joe's O's and watch a movie so I budgeted them in to my calories. But when I sat down I realized I was still full from dinner and I didn't really want them. Normally I would have just eaten them, since they were already logged and sitting there on the plate (dumb excuses), but tonight I didn't. Felt good.7

Eating a delicious spinach salad for lunch and feeling really good about my food choice.4

Nearly went over my calorie limit yesterday, tired from final exams from an online language class, I had decided to make yesterday my day off from exercising.
But then I had a dinner (even though I kept it light), I got the antsies and jumped on the treadmill, “just a 15 min brisk walk”... turned i to a slow 30 min jog, turned into some functional training with kettlebells and dumbbells.... ended up doing about 50 min workout!!
Off to take three final exams today!!!!16 -
Met up with a friend for a morning walk and coffee instead of catching up over lunch. Chitchat and 6000 steps before work was a great start to the day!11
-
Splitting my exercise between morning and evening, instead of just one evening session. I'm burning about 30% more calories that way.6

I did not want to do my work out today, but I did it anyway.12
-
Lack of motivation for exercising yesterday afternoon but knew I was going out with friends for dinner so I wanted to make sure I had some extra exercise calories available. I did the work out, a little half halfheartedly, but got it done.8
-
Personal schedules and household schedules.
Girlfriend told me she has to get up for 8:30 am zoom classes starting next week. I don't have to work too hard to help her get fed, dressed, caffeinated, and ready to pay attention by then, cause I already have a morning schedule in place, I just have to slide the times about a half hour earlier.3 -
Walking in the heat and doing a zumba workout.5
-
Resisting buying a small package of Chunky Chips Ahoy cookies when I remembered the saying, "Discipline is choosing between what you want and what you want most." I want most to lose weight, not to add 160 calories for 4 cookies, then 160 for 4 more, etc.15
-
I got pleasure from getting my cleaning and work out done today. I resisted the desert. Instead I had 2 sugarless lolipops.6
