Should You Be Proud of Weight Loss? Reaching your goals is OK!
Monday Jul 06, 2020
Monday Jul 06, 2020
In episode 9 we talk about why we think being proud of your weight loss is ok. We dig a little deeper and talk about Jacqueline's experience with celebrating and shaming weight loss as well as why we think you absolutely should be celebrating your victories. We strongly believe that when you are using weight loss as part of a journey to better health, fitness, and overall wellness that it is very important to celebrate it. We also believe that celebrating weight loss if that is your only goal can be a slippery slope that sometimes leads to bigger problems. Ultimately we think that it is important to listen to your body, your needs, and your situation to make the choices that are best for you. We think that anything too extreme can be dangerous and celebrating steps along a journey can help to keep you motivated and to continue on a path to success. We hope that you find a helpful bit of information that you can apply to your own life and situation and use that to reach for that goal that you never believed that you can achieve. It's never too late to fly! Go get whatever it is that you want to accomplish!
Thanks for listening!!

Overcoming Setbacks: Talking About How I am Going to Overcome Weight Gain
Monday Jun 29, 2020
Monday Jun 29, 2020
Episode 8 goes over Jacqueline's plan to overcome her recent weight gain struggles. We talk about the steps that we believe are important to consider when you are struggling. We think that the past is the past but those moments are there to help you get stronger. The past is important and so that we can learn from those struggles as we continue forward. Without the low moments, you would never know what those high moments feel like. It is important to use these lows to help you learn from your mistakes or bumps along the road and help get better. Life is a winding path and a journey and we need to remember that we can always keep moving forward and that just because we make a mistake that we haven't failed and we can't give up. We must continue on even if that means we need to choose or create a new path. We hope that this episode can be a little reminder that we all make mistakes, have hard days and times but no matter what we have not failed or truly lost unless we stop trying. Keep going, believe in yourself, and remember its never too late to fly!

The Challenge and Struggle of Gaining Weight After Losing Weight
Monday Jun 22, 2020
Monday Jun 22, 2020
Episode 7 dives into weight gain after weight loss. Many people who lose large amounts of weight experience and struggle with regaining weight. This episode finds us talking about how Jacqueline went from healthy weight loss to some somewhat unhealthy and "extreme" measures to try and get that number on the scale to continue downward and reach her lowest weight. These unhealthy weight loss tactics coupled with trying to recover from excess skin removal surgery led Jacqueline down the road of gaining weight once again. We talk about what was going on and how she came to realize this and how she knew it was time again for some changes and to try and start losing weight in a healthy manner after all. We talk about why and how it is so difficult for so many people to open up and admit that "yes" they have actually gained after being at their lowest point. We hope that this episode can help you if you find your self in a similar place in overcoming the challenge of regaining weight. Our hope is that by discussing these difficult to talk about topics that our listeners can look within themselves and be open and honest about what they may be experiencing so that they can realize that it's never too late to fly and make those changes that may be needed to live our best lives possible.
Thanks for listening!

Episode 5 is an in-depth conversation about the scale. We talk about Jacqueline's relationship with the scale and how that one tool can hold you back from success. Jacqueline has been weighing herself recently as she tries to lose some of the regain she has experienced over the past year or so. After the number on the scale didn't change for a second consecutive week, she had a little meltdown and let that number dominate her. After a very deep conversation, we decided to make this week's episode about the scale too so that Jacqueline could share her experiences and how they have helped her to grow mentally and emotionally. After taking a step back and really looking at the success she has felt in the past two weeks she again remembered that the number on the scale doesn't define her and shouldn't allow it to control her the way she was allowing it to. We talked about how she was making healthy eating choices and getting her exercise in and there wasn't much else in her control that she could do to make the scale move. Sometimes you do everything in your power but sometimes that scale still won't budge. Even though the scale was being stubborn she felt like her clothes were fitting better, and she felt like she was able to move better in her workouts. These are two different ways to measure success without looking at the scale. We also talked about how progress pictures can be an excellent way to gauge if what you are making progress towards your weight loss goals. Ultimately we talked about how its ok to feel whatever it is that you are feeling and releasing those emotions is important to your progress. If you stay in a negative place mentally it will more than likely hold you back physically at some point too. Jacqueline shares how important being aware of your emotions is to staying on track and making progress to your goals. When you are aware of your emotions and your thoughts you can make the changes to help you achieve your goals! We hope that whatever journey you may find your self on that you have success and don't allow any number on a scale to define your or determine your value or worth. Thanks for listening to this week's episode!

In episode 4 we talk about all things COVID-19 Shelter in Place, Quarantine, and Isolation. We explain how we have been affected by the shelter in place orders and what we have done to overcome the physical and mental stress that has been created as a result of us being told to stay at home. Jacqueline shares about how she initially found herself struggling with emotional eating as a way to cope with the stress and uncertainty surrounding us. We talk about how we initially reacted to these orders and how we nearly allowed situations beyond our control to cause us to spiral out of control. After she found herself making these types of decisions she forced herself to step back and look at the bigger picture in regards to making healthy lifestyle choices. After initially feeling out of control and not really being too sure of anything Jacqueline found that creating a new routine and daily plan was key to having some sense of normalcy during these uncertain times. After having our daily routine of going to the gym taken away because of the shelter in place orders we also found it important to make sure we were making time in our day to exercise and move our bodies. After we created the new routine that incorporated healthy eating and movement we found that our mental health was improving. We know that it seems so cliche to say that you need to eat good healthy food and exercise to feel better but we had first hand experience in the first few weeks of being sheltered in place that those two factors make a HUGE difference in how we think and feel. We also want to thank all of the essential workers that have kept the world going while many people have been sheltering in place. We hope that everyone stays safe as it seems that more places are starting to reopen and keeps everyone's health and safety in mind. Enjoy the episode and thanks for listening!

Jacqueline also goes deeper into explaining what plan she used to help her lose more than 300 pounds. Jacqueline explains how and why that plan worked for her.

Motivation: Starting a Journey
Thursday May 14, 2020
Thursday May 14, 2020
In Episode 2 we break down motivation and starting a weight loss journey. We dig a little bit deeper into finding your "why" and why it is so important to your success. We also talk about why just starting is the best thing you can do for yourself. There will never be a "perfect" time for you to start your journey. The longer you put off starting the harder it will be to start and farther you will have to go. Discipline and creating a good routine/habits are also some of the keys that we also talk about that go along with motivation. When you are lacking that motivation you will be able to fall back on the healthy habits and routine that will help you reach success. We hope that if you are struggling that you find the strength to start your journey and believe that you can achieve anything that you want. Remember, it's never too late to fly!
