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
