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

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

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

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

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
