Transcript

Adina: 0:29

Hello! Hello! We have had, um, some, I think some like, friction getting back into it.

Diane: 0:39

It sounds like we're fighting.

Adina: 0:41

I know, no, it's not fighting.

Diane: 0:42

Like friction between friends.

Adina: 0:44

getting our, getting our ducks in a row with all of our text up. Did I send you that meme that was like, my ducks are definitely not in a row and I'm pretty sure one of them is a pigeon.

Diane: 0:53

No, but that sounds about right. Yeah, and Mercury's not even in Gatorade, but from lighting, if you're watching on YouTube, I see those views going up. I see y'all watching on YouTube. I'm feeling very summery over here, and then of course it's nighttime where Adena is.

Adina: 1:07

But look at my tan! I am Sombria as

Diane: 1:09

Yeah, it's just bronze. She feels like summer. Is that that childish Gambino? Yeah, yeah, there's a Childish Gambino song that I always think of. I'm not gonna sing it. But, like, the light keeps going in and out because Michigan does this thing where it's cloudy and then suddenly it's full sunlight. And the contrast with my pale skin with my black hair does something.

Adina: 1:33

um, yeah, I think we're gonna have to close those shades and get you a light.

Diane: 1:37

A ring light. Give me some studio lighting.

Adina: 1:40

key

Diane: 1:41

If anyone has spent any time on TikTok, I actually like this influencer. I like her style and she's blown up and I can see why. Um, just her style of vlogging. Alex Earl. It's this Alex Earl light. Oh, I can show you on YouTube. Which is great for winter on videos, but we tried it before recording and it looked like I was filming a Blair

Adina: 1:58

you were being interrogated.

Diane: 1:59

Yeah, and why have iPhone cameras come so far that you can see deep into my pores, but my MacBook, my Mac Pro, whatever, like the camera still looks the same as it did 20 years ago.

Adina: 2:11

So yeah, I'm getting a new, a new laptop this week, which I'm very excited about, and Now you can, like, mirro you can, like, link your laptop with your iPhone and use that as your webcam. I could also use, like, my actual camera as a webcam.

Diane: 2:24

You're fancy, Kim.

Adina: 2:26

yeah, it's like a whole nother setup thing. But anyways, I've been deep in, like, video lighting YouTube

Diane: 2:32

world. Adina was like, do I put a sign back here or is that too gamer? Like you're going to get a gamer chair and like LED strips.

Adina: 2:39

Um, cause I basically, I've been recording the postpartum program,

Diane: 2:42

Yeah.

Adina: 2:43

which is a sentence that has so many P's in it. If you've noticed, every time I mention it on

Diane: 2:49

And you don't have a pop filter on your

Adina: 2:51

I need a pop filter on my phone now.

Diane: 2:53

Yeah, on your mouth.

Adina: 2:54

Um, but I've been recording all the modules for that and like my recording setup is just a, it's fine. But, There's just like, I'd like it to be a little cuter and the setup of my room is just tricky because the hallway and it's small. So

Diane: 3:13

So are you open to suggestions if they're watching on YouTube? Like, what does the backdrop need? Plants?

Adina: 3:18

I, yeah, I think I'm going to put a little snake plant and then maybe get two blights. It's just this ugly ass air conditioner that like, there's nothing I can really do about. But when I record for. My modules and exercise demos, you don't see it cause it's that way. But I wonder if there's anything I can do for the pod set up that

Diane: 3:39

green screen with like a mountain

Adina: 3:41

maybe you need to make me a quilt.

Diane: 3:43

Yeah, with snowca I mean, and if you're watching, we'll stop talking about our environment for those of you who can't see, but we're trying to paint a picture if you can't see, right? So, behind me, if you missed last episode 100, I shared my sew and tell, which I'll back up. See? Do you see it? That's my throw quilt, which is like, GYST colors, kind of. And Doug. Doug is sleeping. Look at him, he's so cute.

Adina: 4:07

So cute.

Diane: 4:08

So send us your feedback about Adina's backdrop and I guess about mine. You can if you want, but I don't really plan on making any

Adina: 4:15

I know. I was just gonna say, maybe don't send me your feedback. Cause like, I don't know if I'm open to feedback right now.

Diane: 4:19

Yeah, yeah. Well, let's dive into what we're consuming because I know we have a lot to cover today. We have a big summer ahead. You're like traveling soon. So I know we got a lot to wrap up before you travel. I mean, you'll have come back by the time this airs, right? But let's dive into it.

Adina: 4:35

quick and dirty trip across the Atlantic

Diane: 4:38

Again, yeah.

Adina: 4:39

children. Um, wait, you were saying about so and tell, and that is just so cute. Every time you say it, I'm like, it's so cute. What can mine be like ferment and tell?

Diane: 4:50

Flex and,

Adina: 4:52

Like, just, I want to show them my croissants that are proofing downstairs. Here are my muscles and here are my croissants.

Diane: 5:02

Yeah, I'm gonna think of one.

Adina: 5:04

Okay, I'm waiting. Um, so what you eating over there?

Diane: 5:09

Me? Well, I tried a beef stick, and I shared it when I did a Costco haul. I'm trying to bring those back on Stories. Chomps. I do love chomps. The classic. That's good. I tried this taco flavor, and it's not for me.

Adina: 5:21

No.

Diane: 5:22

It's not for me. I regret it. I don't like it, but I am drinking mineral rich brevi brevi?

Adina: 5:29

Beverly?

Diane: 5:29

Bevi? Mineral rich bevi. But what I'm eating, honestly, I don't have much except my matcha latte we talked about this morning. I don't think I talked about this last episode. We both really

Adina: 5:40

wait. We talked offline about this. Like, you should tell them about it.

Diane: 5:45

We, yeah, we had an offline sidebar without you about matcha lattes. And I love

Adina: 5:50

gals.

Diane: 5:51

And I, um, I brought back matcha from Japan, but I haven't opened it yet. So I'm working through my peak tea, which is also very good, but I needed more tea to milk ratio. And I've been using Trader Joe's vanilla bean paste, as of today, with maple

Adina: 6:08

saw it on TikTok.

Diane: 6:09

Yeah, I saw it on TikTok, and next I'm using freeze dried strawberries, and I'm going to try to work that in there. And, uh, we had our niece over, and her six year old daughter, who can't read yet, but she's, like, I don't think she can. She's very smart. She sees at the top of the pantry, she goes, freeze dried strawberries! And, like, she wanted them for a snack, but I was feeling kind of selfish, I was like, that's not what those are. And I put them away, and I was like, I think she recognized the package, but they are set aside for matcha.

Adina: 6:36

That's like when Minnie goes places. This is the funniest thing. There's like, oftentimes she's at places where there's food that she doesn't eat because people eat a lot of sheet garbage. And so sometimes if the parent of the kid will be like, was there anything I can get you? And she always goes, a fruit salad, like not just like an apple, like make me a goddamn fruit

Diane: 6:57

An ambrosia. Have we talked about ambrosia, which is a food of summer? Yeah. Yeah, 70s fruit salad with cottage cheese. So she wants a fruit salad.

Adina: 7:06

She always goes, Can you make me a fruit salad?

Diane: 7:08

Kids love fruit.

Adina: 7:09

give her an apple.

Diane: 7:12

Yeah, chop it up and toss it with some cheese. I do love a cheddar. Um, yeah, not really eating anything else that exciting over here. What about you?

Adina: 7:22

same. I actually just finished dinner, and even though it's like a million degrees here, I made a beef stew.

Diane: 7:29

That doesn't sound like you or summer food.

Adina: 7:31

I know it really was just out of convenience. Like I had stew meat in my freezer and it was just like one of the things I pulled out to defrost and then Abe wasn't feeling so well today and I just needed to throw dinner in the Instant Pot and I had potatoes and I had stew meat so I was like I guess we're having beef stew in the

Diane: 7:51

And you're all like sweating in

Adina: 7:53

It actually was nice because like the air was on and it was hearty and yummy and nice but yeah. Not a summer fave around here. Um, there, I am making croissants again. They are currently proofing downstairs as I mentioned. And also, a new pizza place opened. Pizza

Diane: 8:13

A pizza shop?

Adina: 8:14

was like season one. Um, a pizza store.

Diane: 8:19

Yeah, pizza store.

Adina: 8:21

A new pizza store opened in, like, right near The Shook, and it is just delicious. It's such a nice guy that owns it. The dough is, like, partially fermented. He said it was, like, half sourdough. I didn't quite know what half sourdough is. But, um, my guess is that he, like, uses a starter and, like, ferments the dough, but then adds flour day after. I don't know. I gotta ask him more. I didn't go into the store. Donnie did and had a

Diane: 8:47

I think you didn't ask all the right questions.

Adina: 8:49

No, he did. He asked, but he had this conversation in Hebrew. And so it was like, he got some of the information, but then didn't have enough vocabulary for like the detail question follow ups, you know, um, but the pizza is excellent. This guy, I think he used to work in like real estate or something. And then he got burnt out and decided to open like a hole in the wall pizza shop where he makes everything in house. And it just wants this like real vibe going in the store.

Diane: 9:14

It sounds like the beginning of a rom com.

Adina: 9:16

Maybe. Maybe things will unfold. No, he's happily married. Very sweet man. And Anyways, the pizza's delicious. So that's exciting for

Diane: 9:25

Yum. And speaking of sourdough and fermented things, Adina said she would bring me back, bring me some starter of hers, dehydrate it, bring it to the states so we can have the same starter and I can get my sourdough adventure started like years later. Like on the phone this

Adina: 9:41

have been listening

Diane: 9:43

On the phone this morning. And I mean, intermittently Adina's like, did you get it started yet? I'm like, no, it's too cold, whatever, excuse. Don't want another pet. She's like, I think you've built this up in your head. I'm like, you're so right. And now the starter that I ordered like two years ago is expired. Or the starter starter, whatever.

Adina: 9:59

I mean, you could still try to rehydrate it, but it just might not come back to life. It's been a while, and It'll just be cute for us to have the same starter living in both our houses.

Diane: 10:08

I waited this long. I can wait for your dehydrated

Adina: 10:10

Yeah, you can wait another week and a half. And then also about starter is I think I'm really good at teaching people how to make sourdough because basically my approach, listen up girlies, if you've been like intimidated by sourdough, this is how I teach all my friends. First of all, if you do come over to my home, I will try to send you home with something fermented and so usually I send people home with starter and then I tell them that they're not allowed to try to make bread yet. Their goal is just to learn to keep their starter alive and they can make things like pizza dough or crackers or pancakes and Yes, and this approach has worked for everyone that I have introduced it to Because I think what happens for a lot of people is like bread is like a little more temperamental It has a lot of steps like conditions need to be correct in terms of like Figuring out the temperature in your house figuring out the temperature of your oven just like all these little things So The sourdough starter discard recipes are way easier. It's just like instead of yeast you're putting starter in or you know Crackers are literally three ingredients. It's like starter olive oil and flour and it's so easy and then you start to gain confidence and you're like I can do this

Diane: 11:23

I could do an artisan loaf, yeah.

Adina: 11:26

video and next thing you know, you're making your own sourdough bread

Diane: 11:30

Love it. Yeah, I overheard someone at a bookstore. They were like, I wish people knew that there are other breads besides sourdough to make. And they start listing them off like there are so many other baked goods. So I'm excited to try.

Adina: 11:43

Yeah, we're gonna

Diane: 11:43

With your encouragement and accountability, I guess. I am doing, um, by the time this airs, I will have taken a sourdough, no it's not a sourdough, just a, it's a croissant class. So I used to like to bake years ago, and then I just. I don't like having to stick to measurements and such, but I like butter and I like flaky things, so taking a class.

Adina: 12:06

I know, that's the thing about croissants that were the hardest for me, is like, you have to follow the instructions. And like, don't like following instructions. But the first, I attempted croissants once, like a year ago, and I didn't follow the instructions, and they didn't come out good. And then I did follow the instructions, and they came out amazing.

Diane: 12:29

Yay.

Adina: 12:31

So, it's

Diane: 12:32

Well, let's do an episode on, uh, episode or workshop on sourdough in the meantime. Um, what are you watching? What's new on the media front since last week?

Adina: 12:42

Okay. Finished Hacks since last week. Did you finish it?

Diane: 12:45

No, I think I fell

Adina: 12:46

Ugh. Then I won't talk about it because I need to wait for you to finish

Diane: 12:50

Is it a rap?

Adina: 12:52

Yeah. That was, that was a season, but they got renewed for another one and I loved it. I'll save it for when you finish. Let me know when you finish it and then we'll talk about it on that episode. But outside of Hacks, we've actually been re watching ever since. We had this conversation about Baz Luhrmann. Um, I realized that Donnie had never seen the Moulin Rouge.

Diane: 13:13

How even I, a non musical lover, have

Adina: 13:16

I know. Um, and I loved Moulin Rouge growing up because I mean, it's great, but you know, those movies that you just like saw at the right time, like, I think it was one of the first movies that I saw. I probably saw it when I was like 11 or 12 and it was one of the first movies I saw it. Yeah, a little bit, but it was one of the first movies that I saw that like, had a perspective, you know, it was like, the director had an angle and had a way that he wanted to tell this story and it was like, pulsing through the movie. So it was like the first thing that like, really, you know, it was like, I went from watching like, Disney Channel original movies to

Diane: 13:57

To that?

Adina: 14:00

was such a cosmic shift that I was like, Oh, movies can do something like they can tell a story in a way, you know? And then I'm pretty sure this was the first time I've rewatched it like since then. So it was a little shocking based on like how I remembered certain things and how they actually were and it like that movie is a fever dream, you know, it's

Diane: 14:24

like all of his movies, right? There's always so much going on. They're so overstimulating, but so fun. I want to work back through some of my old favorites, but yeah, Neil hasn't seen, um, his Romeo and Juliet, so I have to, I have to go there, because we've been going through, like, late 90s, early 2000s rom coms a little bit, but I haven't really been consuming media. I've been consuming Billie Eilish. I always call her Billie Eilish. Billie Eilish's new album, and really liking that, um, fixated on a few songs. And I guess it's not media, but you know, I'm going for that pizza party, the Scholastic Book Fair pizza party. I'm

Adina: 15:01

gonna get it, girlfriend.

Diane: 15:02

the limo ride. I did other schools do that? Like

Adina: 15:05

Mine did not. There was other stuff.

Diane: 15:09

you had other prizes or like book fairs, at least like ours.

Adina: 15:12

remember the details because I never put myself in the running. Like, I was like, we had one thing where, like, there was, like, no TV week. Like, if you didn't watch TV for a week, you got a prize. And I was like, I'm just, my prize is continuing to watch

Diane: 15:24

Yeah. It sounds like, am I grounded? Like my, I loved Sailor Moon and my mom, if I was like, if I like topped back, cause I was a. a yapper, you know, she'd be like, no Sailor Moon for two weeks and like, I would pack my bags. Um,

Adina: 15:37

Moon as well. Did you have the, the, do you know what I'm doing on YouTube? Can they see it? Did you have the toy that you like pulled the string and then she like,

Diane: 15:47

No, I had everything else though. I had a crescent wand. I

Adina: 15:50

do you know what I'm talking about? Do you know the toy that I'm talking

Diane: 15:53

No. And

Adina: 15:57

Moon,

Diane: 15:58

she

Adina: 15:58

she is, she is here and then you pull a string and it like winds her up and her arms go out and she like floats up to the sky. Do you know what I'm talking about?

Diane: 16:06

I can imagine it. Yeah.

Adina: 16:08

You don't know that toy where you like pull the string in it. Like, okay, I'll send you a video

Diane: 16:14

Yeah, yeah, oh man, don't get me, derail me with Sailor Moon. I talk, I could talk about like nostalgic anime so long, but I've been reading instead quite a bit. So I've read 33 books so far and some of them I do count audiobooks Okay, someone's gonna want to fight me on that, but you're still consuming a story

Adina: 16:31

you right here right now.

Diane: 16:32

Someone's still reading it to you. And there are a couple like rom com books. I'm listening to like Christina Lauren. It's a author duo, actually. They write everything together. Um, they had Unhoneymooners and Honeymoon Crashers I'm listening to, and it's a full cast and dramatized audio. So they're like in Hawaii and you can hear glasses clinking and waves crashing. Some of it feels a little bit overacted at first and a little bit cheese, but it's also kind of a cheesy rom com. So that's fun And then I'm heavy into my techno techno tech thriller or sci fi thriller era right now. Uh, I've talked about Red Rising, but I'm really into Pines by Blake Crouch. It's earlier, the writing's kind of like airport fiction where I'm like, it's not great, but the plot is fantastic. Um, if you watch Twin Peaks, it's kind of like a nod to that. He was inspired by that. This author wrote Dark Matter, which was a very good multiverse story, very popular sci fi. So in this one, it's kind of. Reminding me of, don't worry darling, in that people wake up, they're in this idyllic little town, but something feels off and why can't I leave this town? And what else is going out on outside of the town? Are they trying to keep us in or keep other things out? And I kind of went in blind and that's all I wanna say. But the plot was really good. I guess it's a two part series on Hulu, so I'm gonna finish the series. Before I get to that. And it's really, it's juicy. Not scary. I can't do scary.

Adina: 18:07

Would this podcast be better if I also read books

Diane: 18:12

I will forever try to get you to, maybe that'll be like, that's like your musicals is fiction

Adina: 18:17

as

Diane: 18:18

books.

Adina: 18:19

Um, I just like, who has the time? You know what I mean? I feel like there's still so much stuff I need to like conquer.

Diane: 18:25

Yeah, and I mean, you have three little people too. But now, instead of like watching things, Neil's like, What do you want to do? And I'm like, I want to read my book. And he has been watching Love is Blind Japan. Because he's still, like, that's his new Roman Empire, right? And so like, he's watching that. And so he's reading too, because he's reading the subtitles, but I'm reading my cute little book. Um, the other one in the queue is Artificial Wisdom by Thomas Weaver that I'm buddy reading with my friend Mary, and that one is like, I don't know. Something has happened in the near distant, the near future, 30 years from now, climate change has caused a lot, like, mass deaths, but was it caused by humans? We don't know. And there is an artificial intelligence dictator.

Adina: 19:06

mm,

Diane: 19:07

So two things that could seem a little bit too plausible, but people are raving about it on BookTok, so I'm liking it so far.

Adina: 19:14

all right.

Diane: 19:15

Yeah, that's my media.

Adina: 19:17

a riveting time in Diane's home.

Diane: 19:19

And this, like, saturation is really grinding my gears on this top here.

Adina: 19:24

We're gonna crack the case, don't you worry.

Diane: 19:25

is summer. I'm not going to complain about the summer sunlight.

Adina: 19:29

No, enjoy it, soak it up.

Diane: 19:31

Yeah. So summer bodies, huh?

Adina: 19:34

Ha! This is a perfect segue. Um, yeah, we wanted to do this episode because Apparently, pop culture and the mainstream are still talking like this. We've joked about this on many episodes, but like, we really do live in a bubble. And then I'll come across something on the internet where it's like, shred for your summer body. And I'm just like, wait, what? People still do that?

Diane: 19:58

shred. And we're both wearing bikinis for the people watching on YouTube. Or not watching on YouTube.

Adina: 20:04

Dwight is now cutting off Phyllis's head with a chainsaw.

Diane: 20:07

Ring ding ding ding ding ding!

Adina: 20:09

Is that a Muppet Babies tattoo? So yes, if you are shredding for summer, this is the episode for you. You know, we're going to talk about all about our summer bods and just how we're getting ready for how we've been getting ready.

Diane: 20:26

and I mean, summer is solidly here, so chances are you've, if you're a woman who consumes any type of media, you're on the socials, you've been hearing about how to get your summer body for the last three to six months, and maybe you're someone who's also feeling like, wow, the season is here, the summer is here, and feeling some kind of shame if you don't have a quote unquote summer body.

Adina: 20:49

I forgot to train for my summer

Diane: 20:51

Oh no, what are you going to do?

Adina: 20:53

need to just skip, skip straight to winter.

Diane: 20:56

train for the winter body. Ugh. And it's all just so annoying and I hate that so many people miss out on, I don't know, going to the beach or wearing shorts or just enjoying summer because of what their body looks like or doesn't look like. So you know, depending what the title ends up. You know, we pick our clickbaity titles. Uh, so we wanted to have a chat from the lens of people who don't give a shit about if your body is summer ready or

Adina: 21:28

it's summer ready, um, so yeah, we thought that it would be a fun spin to share our goals for summer and how we're preparing for living in and thriving in those bodies. Um, because that narrative around shredding for summer or prepping for summer, whatever it is, it's so silly. It's really silly. I mean, it's so silly.

Diane: 21:55

you're saying it nicely.

Adina: 21:57

I know, I, it's so funny though, cause like, a lot of things come up for me when I think about this. One of them is that it just, it makes me mad and sad when I realize how many people are still looking at working out as just for manipulating body size. And, I mean. Um, I obviously value it for many other reasons. And I have seen over the last few years and the hundreds of women that have come through my program, how transformative strength training and just consistent workout routine can be in so many aspects of your life that have nothing to do with body shape and size. And it makes me sad how many people are missing out on that. Not, not just, there's just so much that comes out for me with this, but it's frustrating because of how many women have messaged me over the year. And there's plenty of people who have come into STHH where their initial goal was shifting body composition or weight loss. And I always try to deter that as the goal, but the reality is that the world we live in and the world we were raised in, it's very hard to unlearn a lot of that, and it's hard to. Separate yourself from that if you've been so steeped in it for so long. And I've had so many women that have come into the program and maybe didn't outwardly say, This is my goal, but that's kind of what they were gunning for. And then I get these messages of like, I'm a better mom. I'm more patient with my kids. I'm a better partner. My skin looks better. I feel a million times better. My sleep is better. My cycles are better. Just like How many magical things can shift when training is a consistent part of your life? Um I view myself as a strong person. That's like my absolute favorite thing to hear from people especially those who have struggled with chronic illness for years where Maybe for years they just felt weak or they were constantly told You have this thing you are in some way weak or just just felt That feeling of I have this thing. I am forever You not as strong as I could be. And for that shift to happen,

Diane: 24:22

Yeah. And I hear that more on like the nutritional therapy side of, you know, I have this autoimmune condition or I feel so exhausted, like the thought of going for a walk with my kids. After work or doing my workout after work, like it just makes me want to lay right down or people who have dealt with bloat for years that they feel uncomfortable in their body sun up to sundown. And it's not necessarily about like, I want to be lean and skinny, but like, I want to feel comfortable in my clothes and not like my stomach is going to explode. And so, yeah. Also with that too, if you are someone who's listening to this and you're like, okay, yes, I do want to be strong and I do have a healthy relationship with my body and I do want to have it maybe look a certain way or. Build a strong, functional ass. Like there's nothing wrong with that too. But I think that we would both agree that like the first priority that we have with our clients and the goals of our programs is to have you physically feeling well, and then other things fall into place. I love hearing from clients who they previously did things, um, motivated in fitness or in nutrition because they wanted to lose weight. And then they later were like, you know, I just, I want to feel good. And we focused on that and they. got their period back, they sleep through the night, they feel good when they eat foods that they never thought that they would have before, they have energy to get to the workout, and then they're like, Oh, and you know what? Like, I haven't weighed myself, like, in so long, and I just noticed my clothes fit better, like, that's the bonus, but it's not the starting point or the focal point.

Adina: 25:52

Yes. And also the perspective to around the marketing of this as well. Like, I think something that makes me very violent is the like predatory marketing of the like. Shred for summer because this is such an insecurity. That's just underlying for so many people even if they want to even if they want to rid themselves of that or they've been trying so hard to follow accounts and make them feel better about themselves or focus on the non scale victories focus on the lifestyle shifts and all of that, but Sometimes it's just it's deep in there. And then when the predatory marketing comes out you're like wait, but do I want that?

Diane: 26:34

the marketing and also the trends of like clean girl summer. I was like, I'm like, as opposed to dirty girl summer, what is a clean girl aesthetic? What is, what is a clean girl? There's so much to unpack with that trend, but I keep seeing, you know, get your body right for summer. Like this is how to look shredded, expensive, clean girls. Yeah. All, all of that. I'm like, what

Adina: 26:57

What's happening?

Diane: 26:58

that? Yeah. So yeah, we're going to share our goals for the summer in our I'm using air quotes, body goals, eh. And how we change our routines to help us achieve those goals and feel good all summer long.

Adina: 27:14

Yeah, I was laughing also because like, when we were putting together this episode, it's like, people are so okay being like, oh wait, like, I didn't work out all year but I got to shre I have to shred for the summer. It's literally like the people who only brush and floss their teeth before they go to the dentist. Like,

Diane: 27:32

Wait, that's so right.

Adina: 27:34

what? Do we think this is like Health giving? I mean, I guess that's the point. It's not, that's not the focus at all, but

Diane: 27:43

Right, like I work out all year round cause just as like, just like I brush my teeth and floss it, like I'm gonna move my body.

Adina: 27:50

Right. These are the sustainable habits that make us feel wonderful day in and day out. And these are the sustainable habits that build a body with longevity and a health span and that we can grow old in this body and not have our bones crumble and not

Diane: 28:05

I don't like crumbly bones. Yeah.

Adina: 28:08

want crumbly bones.

Diane: 28:10

Yeah, so we each have a few goals and then we'll talk about what we're doing to support those. So, you know, take us into it. Tell us tell us your goals.

Adina: 28:18

My, my summer body goals. So I think, I mean, this episode is going to air when I get back from my trip. So there will be adjusting to the jet lag and, you know, reintegrating my family into our routine, but then summer happens. So it's not really a routine, but just trying to survive that post travel post international travel with the three

Diane: 28:38

And where are you going? How far? Like, it's not just a little, like, two hour.

Adina: 28:42

Nope, straight back to New Jersey. I have my first cousin's wedding in NYC and I'm taking the whole fam with, so it's going to be really fun. It's going to be a bit of a whirlwind. It's just like a five day trip. I'll chat more about it probably on next episode, but it's five days and a few of them are holiday and then there's the wedding and we're hosting another in person club meetup on Friday. It's just going to be bing bang boom, but, um, with that, my big summer goal, which I've already started working towards is training consistently and training hard because I have been in the postpartum season for a while now. Um, Ori is gonna be two in the end of September, which is crazy. I know, time, am I right? Um, and as those of you who've been listening to the podcast, no, he's not interested in sleeping so much,

Diane: 29:50

Not into it.

Adina: 29:51

not into it. So for a while, I really had to adjust my training expectations and. We talk to you guys about this all the time, but it's very important to adjust your training goals to the season of life that you're in, to the stresses that you are under. And so I was still able to train consistently most weeks. It was just a matter of not really being able to push load and using my training for maintenance more, and to be able to feel strong and capable of my day to day life. But it wasn't like I was crushing PRs or. Building a shit ton of muscle. Like it was more from the perspective of I am slowly increasing load week over week, most of the time, depending on the training block or the specific skill that we were working on. But it wasn't pushing to capacity. It wasn't like training at higher intensities. Um, yeah. And so now that things have gotten a little bit more consistent with him, I wouldn't say we're in the best place because also we've had some travel break it up too, but he's been consistently going to sleep, sleeping for like four to five straight hours, waking up, eating for a minute or two, he goes back to sleep and then that happens like one other time. So I'm getting the More chunks of sleep and more consistent sleep. And so I've been able to start like really pushing it in the last few months, which has felt so frigging good. Like the last, the end of the last training block. And now this current training block that we're in, I've really been able to push myself to those seven out of 10 workouts that I really like. Um, and I've been feeling that. muscle coming back, which is just the best feeling in the world when you're like, oof, the muscles, the muscles are growing.

Diane: 31:46

back. So you can train longer. All right. Like, I think I remember talking to you when he was Really partying hard at night, and it would just be really short, maybe a couple of, of things, but not anywhere near what you'd consider, like, a long workout.

Adina: 32:05

Yeah. So that has definitely shifted. Like I was not doing the accessories. So for those who aren't familiar with our programming style, usually what we do is we'll have. Obviously your movement prep, and then we'll have a section that's like, you work on a skills, like skill and power development type thing. It's like one or two exercises just focused on like skill acquisition. And usually those are power focused. Um, so moving slightly lighter loads fast or moving, you know, plyometrics, like your own body in space really fast. And then we do a strength set. So it's usually like two strict, strict strength exercises where we're focusing on trying to lift as heavy as you can for very few reps. Um, And then after that we'll do accessories. So things that compliment that strength work, um, or compliment the strength work that we're doing on our other training days in the week. And so accessories are always what I would tell people to knock off first, if they are short on time or high on stress or low on sleep. So those accessories were not happening for me for many, many months. And now I can really get through the accessories and most of my workouts, which is lovely. And also I can up the intensity so I can work harder in the Those power output drills. So I can work on moving faster and jumping higher and all that good stuff. And in my strength sets, I can push to closer to maxes. So like I'm ending a set where I could have only done, you know, two or three more reps, which is what we really want for that strength adaptation, what we really want for that muscle growth. And again, we can still have strength adaptations in other seasons where we're not pushing as hard. But when we really want to see things shift as far as. Building muscle, shifting metabolism, gaining strength, all that stuff. And burning fat as well. That's like where we would actually see that body composition shift. Um,

Diane: 33:52

you gotta push and work for that.

Adina: 33:54

You got to work really hard. Yeah. It's intentional intensity as we always talk about, but those sessions should be hard. We should be really pushing the end of those sets should feel like. I cannot do much more than what I've just done. If you're just going through the motions and you're feeling like, I'm following the program. Why am I not building any muscle or, you know, X, Y, Z, whatever you're feeling about the outcomes of your workouts, I would encourage you to get a heavier kettlebell and push a little harder

Diane: 34:22

We should do a full episode on that because I know we've sidebarred about it and how you've been going more intense and like when to know when to go more intensely because I know we've done many episodes talking about restorative and ways to modify when you're in a season of stress, um, your training and your life in general. So yeah, that would be a good full on episode. So what are some ways that you've changed like? the rest of your routine during the day in order to fuel your more intense workouts right now.

Adina: 34:52

Yeah. It's funny, actually. I just realized like, it's funny that my summer body goal is like a process goal, cause that's like what we always encourage on here on our new year's episodes for sure is just like. I love a process goal. I, it's not like, I want to be X size or I want to have X body fat percentage or I want to build X amount of muscle. It's like, I love it. I want this skill to improve. Like I want to get back my unassisted pull ups, which has been such a hard journey, this go around. Um, it's always hard postpartum, but specifically this postpartum is, has been my hardest because of that lack of sleep because of, you know, we moved when I was pregnant and there were so many other stressors and. I definitely gained more weight in this pregnancy, which we def we talked about that on episode of Adina got fat and here was, here's what happened. Um, that was a really fun one around navigating stress and, and bolstering for that stress. And so it's like getting my pull ups back has been so hard this postpartum. So that's something I'm really working on. Um, and in order to have a goal of training consistent and training hard, there's a lot of stuff you need to do. Okay. to support that. And so those are the things that I'm really focusing on, which include number one, getting in bed earlier. Um,

Diane: 36:09

to

Adina: 36:10

yeah, it's really hard. Um, it's just hard. I mean, you all know how hard it is. It's like you had your whole day, it was go, go, go. And then you have this moment, especially if you have kids, you have this moment where the kids are sleeping and you just stay up too late trying to cling to some alone

Diane: 36:28

So less media for you, right?

Adina: 36:31

Yeah, we haven't even been doing that much media. It's just like, there's things you need to catch up on, and we've literally been watching like one show at night. Um, but, And for me, when I say like get in bed earlier, I mean, like get in bed before 10 45, because that's like been late for me, like I don't even stay up too late, but that makes such a difference. Like when I'm in bed in the nines, we are golden. It is good. Life is Gucci. And I need to get back to doing that. Um, it also involves eating enough food and also protein, like getting more protein and hot tip for the mamas. This is something. I have been incorporating more protein powder, which I mentioned on last episode. Um, ways that I have been doing that is putting whey protein in my coffee. I have also really been enjoying mixing whey protein with peanut butter and stuffing it in a date with some chocolate chips.

Diane: 37:30

Hmm.

Adina: 37:31

Delicious. Delicious snack. Um, so I'll pop a couple of those in the afternoon if I'm like The hours between my lunch and my dinner aren't working out. Um, and then another thing that becomes a big part of that goal is making sure that I have backup times for my workouts. If the original times that I had scheduled them for do not work out. So in this season, what's going on for me is I'm deep in filming the postpartum program. STHH Postpartum coming at you July 1st. You can get it now on pre sale. And it would be real stupid not to grab it on pre sale if you know you want it, because you will never see it

Diane: 38:11

Because there is a deal for pre sale, so don't snooze and lose.

Adina: 38:15

Seriously, it's like 200 off. So do not snooze on it, my friends. Um, so yes, I'm filming and because I don't have a great lighting situation in here, I do film in natural light. So I have to film in the mornings, but I really like to work out in the mornings. So I've been pushing my workouts to the evening some days, which is so hard, but I'm committed, I'm committed as fluke and I'm showing up for myself three days a week, no matter what, and working really hard in my sessions. So what that means is I need the energy for those sessions. So especially if it's a, if it's an evening workout, here's what you got to do. Okay, listen up mamas. You gotta Eat a mini dinner While your children are eating dinner. So when I feed my kids dinner at six o'clock Or 5. 30, whatever it is, I take a portion of that and I eat it in that moment as a smaller dinner so that I have the energy to train. And then the second I put Ori into bed, I go upstairs and I train. If I sit on the couch, oh, forget it. You know, that's when the mind games start.

Diane: 39:23

Yeah, maybe I just want to sit here. Yeah, maybe I do it tomorrow. And maybe, maybe,

Adina: 39:28

Yes, exactly. Exactly. So. I have to eat a small meal before. Sometimes I even, yesterday, we were so low on carbs in the house because we were getting our groceries delivered in the evening, and I needed carbs. Like, sometimes when that day is long, and you've been in the sun, you've been running around, you are feeling, like, lazy and fatigued, eat some carbs. I'm telling you,

Diane: 39:51

get a fruit salad.

Adina: 39:52

I get yourself a fruit salad. I literally took two spoons of honey and just shoved them in. Cause I need like quick sugar and we had no carbs in the house. Yeah. Um, and it helped. And then I got through my session and I felt great. Uh, but yeah, if you're, if you're like waning and you're like, even if you start your session and you're like, I'm waning, give those, give those muscles some glucose, my friends.

Diane: 40:15

see the stars, which, it is very hot there. Like, how hot Fahrenheit? I don't know. Let's see. You're still my weather app, I think, but you tell

Adina: 40:22

Yeah, the actual number is not so hot, but, you know, it's not the heat, it's the humidity.

Diane: 40:28

Yes. Yes, the humidity. So it's really hot. So you need carbs to fuel these, the building of the muscles and protein. So those are the stars. But also, I know this is on both of our lists for summer, is hydration. Which we always talk about.

Adina: 40:44

Nation. Yeah, we did that episode a long time ago. Still relevant, still wonderful. I will say, my water bottle has gotten outrageous. Like, I am carrying around a giant water bottle, and here's what I'm currently putting in it. I have Many ice cubes, because it's so hot and I just like need it to be freezing cold. Many ice cubes, water, adrenal cocktail powder, minerals, and salt. The whole shebang. Just so much. Everyone in. Everyone in now.

Diane: 41:19

And you know, I'm usually like room temp water, like in the winter, but when it is hot, get me fat ice cubes.

Adina: 41:27

Yeah, I want it to give me a headache it's so cold. You know what I mean?

Diane: 41:30

Yeah. I know we talked about our water bottles at length last episode, but I saw someone made ice cubes that fit the size of a Stanley. So you plop three of them in and they're like rings. So the whole thing stays cold, like, mm.

Adina: 41:44

I just use cocktail ice cubes and it keeps the whole thing cold. They're like those fat rocks, you know? Um, and so yeah, hydration. Hydration is huge. Salty. As salty as the sea. I may as well

Diane: 41:56

because you're sweating that out. Like, if you've ever, like, oh, Neil was doing yard work and he got all sweaty, all hot, and I gave him a kiss and I was like, oh, salty.

Adina: 42:05

It's so salty.

Diane: 42:07

Yeah, you better replenish that.

Adina: 42:09

Yeah, so salty is salty. Make it extremely salty. When I'm doing like, in the morning, I'll do like a fun mock, a mock, it's mock cock o'clock in the morning.

Diane: 42:18

I say, yeah, it's always my cock o'clock.

Adina: 42:21

In the morning, it's like fun mock cock o'clock. That's when I get out the fruit juices, you know, the bitters, all that stuff. But when I walk around during the day, just salty ass water.

Diane: 42:32

I like doing salt and citrus.

Adina: 42:34

Yeah.

Diane: 42:35

Mm hmm. Well, all good things for training consistently, and you are consistent, and I love your reminders on story, how you're like, I'm a person who trains on Sunday, Tuesday, and Thursday, but you make it work, even when you have kiddos, and there's a program that needs to be filmed, so I'm sure that's a motivating factor.

Adina: 42:53

it is a motivating factor. And also honestly, like I mentioned this last time, but the club has been so helpful because seeing all my athletes share in the accountability space, like sometimes I literally will be like, wait a minute, like these are lay people and they are sharing about it. Like, this is my job and I didn't do my workout today. Like, no, no.

Diane: 43:15

I feel like it's like a person. I mean, I started it during the accountability challenge in the winter, but I've kept up my like gym, mirror, thirst trap pictures with my little like screenshot from the end of the workout. And that's just my little

Adina: 43:32

I love it. It really feels good. But yeah, so then as far as that, just my other big training goal, I'll share videos on stories, but Ori has just gotten out of his goddamn mind. Those of you who were around for like Abe's toddler phase, you may remember him always being on top of a counter, like holding a chef's knife. Like we are, we have reached that stage with Ori's and like, it happened so quick, he's so fast. Like, I will turn around for one second. I'll go get my water bottle and like, I come back and he has moved a barstool over to the stove. He's on top of the stove. He's eating crackers that just came out of the oven. So

Diane: 44:07

He's touching burners.

Adina: 44:09

it's, it's not good. But my big training goal now is just get faster. I got to like, I got to be springy. I got to be re my reaction time has to be quick

Diane: 44:20

I saw you jumping.

Adina: 44:21

yeah, I'm jumping. I'm trying to get

Diane: 44:23

You're parkouring? Are you, like, at the kids, like, in the playgrounds in Tel Aviv? Are They look dangerous. They, like, they would shock people, right? Like, I just picture you jumping up onto the

Adina: 44:35

Yeah, it's a good time. We're getting fast. We're getting springy.

Diane: 44:38

Yeah, and I'm getting sorry for the lip gloss here.

Adina: 44:41

That's it. That's me. Those are my summer body

Diane: 44:43

Fun things. Like, I want to flex now. Well, I have three, and the first couple are short, but they're fun, um, and the first one is I want to have a fat, functional ass. I say functional ass because it's functional, like I'm going to be able to get up. I like being able to get up off the floor without using my hands, and, and I like having a fat, strong butt in my bikini. I just, I do. I don't need the full coverage. I want an even color on my butt cheeks. And I just like those, I just like those suits and I'm not sorry about it. Um, and also muscle is a great defense against diabetes, which I'm using air quotes for the millionth time. This episode runs in my family and no, not, not for me. And I'm not running either right now, but, um, my A1C is fine. Ooh, gross, smash him.

Adina: 45:38

Those of you watching on YouTube, I need like product showcase mode. Um, I got it. I got that little sucker. Yeah.

Diane: 45:44

mm, this is mosquito. This is the lip gloss I'm actually liking. Yeah. Um, so, my A1C was fine, it was good, but like, I want to keep it that way, especially after like, doing a lot of sitting during the day, working the computer, like, I want to make sure that I'm moving, and muscle is great for preventing against the beaties. The beatus.

Adina: 46:06

that the

Diane: 46:07

Yeah. So.

Adina: 46:09

Who's that, um, Dr. Spaceman?

Diane: 46:10

Yeah, Dr. Spachetman. Yeah, so my A1C got even better with food and fitness, and I want to keep that up, or keep it down, keep it down. So, training makes that possible, and I can still eat ice cream and enjoy the foods of summer. So, fat functional ass, it's in progress. Keepin this cupcake. Yeah, loading. Yeah, I mean since I started Kettlebell, it's like, it, it's popped. It's popped. Um,

Adina: 46:38

I know those kettlebells will do it. That hip extension, you know.

Diane: 46:42

Uh, the second one, get sun on my skin. I mean throughout this recording where you're doing video for this episode, like the sun keeps changing and I have light skin and like this bright top, so that's really throwing off the white balance, I think. But trying to like responsibly get sun on my skin and it just feels good. And if you live in the Midwest, you know, we went. months without a lot of sunlight. So after Midwest winter, I'm all about getting that D and check and getting it safely. It's a free way to get it. I love it. We did an episode about that and RIP Beauty Counter, but I haven't been using their sunscreens for a while. I'm really liking for the moneymaker, the face in like this area. I like using Japanese or Korean sunscreens. I brought some back from Japan, but there are a couple that I really like. The formulas are nice, the filters that they use outside the U. S. are different, and so if I'm gonna be using actives on my face and serums, like, we're protecting this when we're outside. So,

Adina: 47:41

I've been doing my big

Diane: 47:42

the cat. I saw that,

Adina: 47:44

which a lot of people have been asking about, and I get all my hats from Nordstrom. Straw hats, you gotta go Nordstrom.

Diane: 47:52

Are you bringing one with you?

Adina: 47:54

Probably. Just shove it

Diane: 47:56

seen some collapsible ones that I traveled with before, but I'm liking baseball hats a lot right now.

Adina: 48:01

You know what I do when I travel? Does everyone do this? It's just me. I bring my straw hat and I just roll up some clothes and shove it in the head part. And then I put the brim flat on the bottom of the suitcase

Diane: 48:12

that would

Adina: 48:13

then it stays totally fine. Like, I usually roll up some of, like, Ori's onesies and just, like, shove them in there and then it holds the shape of the

Diane: 48:18

I'm all about using all the crannies. Like, I'll put socks in my

Adina: 48:22

Gotta use those crannies.

Diane: 48:24

those crannies. Um, so yeah, getting some on my skin. And like, you'll see Doug, if you're watching the video, he's knocked out here. I've been letting him out to go potty and he doesn't like to touch grass. for his mental well being. As they say, like, go touch grass. He wants to just go outside, and then he sits on the deck. Like, he goes to this corner on the deck, and he puts his face up. So we both really like just being out there, and

Adina: 48:46

up the sun.

Diane: 48:47

yeah. So I was thinking about quitting my job to focus on summer and to focus on summer reading,

Adina: 48:52

As we all should.

Diane: 48:53

know? But I like my job a lot, so I don't know. So those are my fun goals, and my biggest goal is to My biggest body goal, summer goal, is to build a baby because I'm pregnant.

Adina: 49:04

Ah!

Diane: 49:06

But,

Adina: 49:07

Tell us more! I know, I've known.

Diane: 49:12

a

Adina: 49:12

I have to like, I have to play the listener.

Diane: 49:15

Yeah, so, not a joke. Yeah, I guess we'll do a little chatty chat and I know that we're like deep into this episode, but I'll give you like the overview.

Adina: 49:24

I hope they gasped. Do you think they gasped?

Diane: 49:27

Yeah, so I, um, I did catch a baby. I thought about saying, like, I'm gonna, um, take care of this parasite I discovered, but it's a fun parasite. It's a fun

Adina: 49:37

it would be more confusing than anything.

Diane: 49:39

Yeah, I think it would, but it's, yeah, I mean, babies are kind of like parasites. Like, they need a lot of nutrients. They're nutritionally expensive to make, to build. So yeah, it's a little overview I can always share if anyone, like, cares. I don't want to, like, keep yapping. But pregnant on.

Adina: 49:54

cares.

Diane: 49:56

But I think it might be especially shocking to folks because I think I have mentioned on here that I've been very much child free until I wasn't. So this was on purpose, like, don't ask me dumb questions, like, was this a

Adina: 50:09

People are so dumb, I can't.

Diane: 50:12

Yeah, I mean, I will, maybe we could do an episode with clapbacks for just like dumb things that people say, because like, Some people do say dumb things. I've been fortunate that like, it's been a few, but I have had some clapbacks for a couple. But, you know, it was on purpose. Um, I still hate people who pressure couples and ask them when they're going to have kids, but Um, yeah, I was child free until I wasn't, um, I've been working on my fertility regardless over the past year, couple of years, because whether you're trying to catch a baby or not, that's really important, but best souvenir that we got from Japan.

Adina: 50:51

She's giving them all the

Diane: 50:53

It's this little nugget and like, I don't know, like I'm 34, but I feel still a lot of times like I'm a pregnant teenager. And you know, like when I told my parents, I'm like, Oh my God, they're going to know I have sex. And actually I told my dad and he goes, I mean, I, he didn't mean it this way, but he's like, how did that happen? Who is this person in my driveway? We are

Adina: 51:16

Well, dad, you see.

Diane: 51:18

He's like, how did that happen? I'm like, well, and he's like, well, because I thought you guys didn't want kids. And I'm like, let me just tell you. So yeah, I still feel a little bit like a pregnant teen. Um, but I've been feeling really, really good and it'll be a winter

Adina: 51:34

that for you. Wait, I feel like you sent me that meme. Sorry to interrupt you. I feel like

Diane: 51:37

You're good.

Adina: 51:38

me that meme. When you were like starting to think about it when you were like, wait, but if I get pregnant, then I'll be a pregnant teenager.

Diane: 51:45

Yeah, I'll be a pregnant teenager.

Adina: 51:47

It'll be a teen pregnancy.

Diane: 51:49

That's how I feel. I'm like, am I allowed to do that? And then I also felt like I, I, I felt really good. And so until we saw the little nugget in there, the little gummy bear looking baby, I was like, I'm not pregnant. I'm just tired sometimes. And um, I think one of my

Adina: 52:11

I think that that's a feeling that a lot of people can relate to, especially people who have experienced loss before of like, it doesn't feel real in the beginning. And there's a lot of anxiety that can come with the, like. Is this growing? Is this happening? Is it just I just haven't gotten my period yet? My boobs are a little sore? Or like, is this really happening?

Diane: 52:30

Yeah, totally. I mean, I've heard that from, especially from friends or clients who've experienced loss before. And, and coming back from Japan, I was like, Oh, the time travel, you know, and no.

Adina: 52:42

You knew.

Diane: 52:43

And I, I'm very attuned to my cycle, so I knew, and I've been feeling really good and mostly like myself. And just now, like, I think finally, I've pants. Some high waist, I like high waist pants that aren't working as well anymore. Um, so, I've been having fun thrifting, but feeling really good. And I was really scared about nausea because I, no one likes to puke. No one likes feeling unwell and like not knowing what's going to come out of their mouth. In any given moment. But, I, and I haven't thrown up I think since 2010, and I haven't. I think there was one, there was a day where I got nauseous when we went to a steakhouse and we did our own like self guided tour of the menu. We did seafood tower for two and a ribeye and crab cakes and a wedge salad of some kind. And someone across from us was like, wow, you guys took down that whole seafood tower. And afterwards I was like, I could puke, but I think I ate, I just ate a lot of

Adina: 53:41

I'm not gonna, but I could.

Diane: 53:42

Like, Oh, like if I bent over after eating all that food, um, So feeling really good and to support this goal of building a bébé, I'm eating smaller, more frequent meals, which is something I might be doing in the summer anyway, when it's really hot and humid. I don't feel like having beef stew.

Adina: 54:04

Tel Aviv and have your beef stew at 95

Diane: 54:07

I remember having a burger in the Shook, and I mean, it was February when we went to Tel Aviv, but it was, it was hot and it was a big burg, and we had like other things we were trying, meaty things, but yeah.

Adina: 54:18

got the meat sweats.

Diane: 54:20

smaller, more frequent meals, I'm doubling, tripling down on the hydration. And for me, I do love the salty water, but I've been really into element, is it element or element y? I don't

Adina: 54:32

think it's like trying to be cute, but

Diane: 54:34

No vowels. Yeah,

Adina: 54:37

Most people I hear who say it, they call it element and then they say element y. Like, they should clarify. You know?

Diane: 54:42

L M N O P. Um, element lime or grapefruit. I don't like, um, really sweet things, but I do add some coconut water in there for potassium, uh, based on my recent labs. I wanted to up that. So, I just like it feeling like a little tropical drink. And I also shared in a recent reel a roundup of my favorite Moccox. So, some of these are bottled,

Adina: 55:05

cock o'clock.

Diane: 55:07

recipes. Yeah, and most of them are pregnancy safe. Uh, sometimes you have to avoid some herbs and adaptogens. Uh, maybe we should do an episode on things that, like, you're not supposed to eat during pregnancy that I eat anyway, but uh, there's

Adina: 55:20

I was going to say, I feel like the quantity adaptogens in one can of those things, like, it's not, it's not a tincture, you know, like you're taking down syringes

Diane: 55:32

know that everyone's covering their butts. They're like, ask your doctor. I'm like, no.

Adina: 55:38

Oh, hello, Doctor. You know, from Aladdin.

Diane: 55:42

This is not medical

Adina: 55:43

No, no, no, not that, Doctor.

Diane: 55:46

And other things I'm doing, daily movement, um, I've had energy now more, a bit more. But I was able to still train, I was doing um, either the leastest from the STHH club, or just the level one workouts as is, uh, and only just starting to modify. I've been dabbling between leastest and the prenatal.

Adina: 56:07

Wait, let me clarify what Least This Is for those who are listening that may not know. Yeah, basically, like I mentioned about the programming earlier, We have a programming group inside of the club called the leastest. So it's basically that you can get the most out of the leastest. So it's just like the program whittled down to the most essential parts that are going to move the needle for you on your strength. And we encourage people to swap their workout for that. If they're having like a particularly stressful week or low on sleep or, you know, X, Y, Z,

Diane: 56:35

I thought you were going to say, like, a particularly pregnant day, because some days I'm like, oh, I feel pregnant

Adina: 56:40

day where you feel more pregnant than others.

Diane: 56:42

Yeah, but other

Adina: 56:43

Well, that is how we explain when to switch to the prenatal. We're like, when you start to feel pregnant, then you should switch to prenatal training.

Diane: 56:49

heh heh. Yeah, exactly. So I've been doing those two to three, um, trying to get back to my three a day, three a days. Whoa, no, that would not be my three a weeks that I was doing before we went to Japan. But yeah, just with a jet lag and then adjusting to this news and some fatigue I was experiencing for a little bit too was more of my comfort zone. But definitely daily walks and having a dog really helps with that because he wants to go. So, um,

Adina: 57:19

you're like, I'm not getting off the couch today.

Diane: 57:22

The last, we did an episode on how to get through first try and I know we've done other more pregnancy specific episodes, but I think that a lot of these are, would apply to people who are not pregnant too, like eating smaller frequent meals when it's hot, staying, um, very hydrated when it's hot and humid out. keeping up on movement, even on your tire, like doing something. And Adina has given us already excellent examples of that. But also something that I've noticed myself doing is really being extra mindful of my mental peace in this first trimester. And I mean, it's a lot to process too. And just like, how do we want to do things like building my care team and my support team and who feels safe to talk about this with like all those things. So I've been really ruthless about. The type of content I consume, the people I spend time with, the hobbies that I do, and I've just been feeling really good mentally, um, trying to limit the stress a lot.

Adina: 58:21

Oh yeah, I mean it's such a massive identity shift too, like there's a lot to process with that. Yeah. And also I was going to say, um, first of all, we love you. Thank you for sharing all of this with us. And we're so excited for you. I speak on behalf of all the shitheads. Um,

Diane: 58:41

the main details. I don't think I left anything out, did I? I mean, I had

Adina: 58:45

I don't think so, but I was going to say, um, our first trimester is also from the perspective of my lived experience. So if you guys want to hear another first trimester episode with some more details from Diane's go around, do let us know in the comments.

Diane: 59:00

let us know. Especially if you want to know like, clapbacks or more from someone who like, was previously child free or whatever. Just, I don't know. And I'll see how much I want to share about that. But I've, I know I've talked to some, some friends and, you know, about that stuff already. So yeah, lots of fun, exciting things over here, working on our body, summer body, yaddy, yaddy. So here's how you can work with us on your summer body, body, yaddy, yaddy. Or

Adina: 59:27

Wait, Ori started calling Donnie daddy daddy addy addy? And like, I have to get it on

Diane: 59:34

has he been listening to Megan Thee Stallion?

Adina: 59:36

I think so, in his group at night.

Diane: 59:38

And then he goes, Hey,

Adina: 59:39

yeah. Daddy addy addy. It's really funny. Okay, continue.

Diane: 59:44

Yeah. So ways you can work with us. I know we cover this a little bit. Last episode, and I almost spilled the beans there, but, um, yeah, so, the beans. Ugh, gross. Uh, one on one

Adina: 59:56

Have you ever actually spilled beans? Who spills beans?

Diane: 59:59

Uh uh. I have spilled milk, and then I know why people cry over it, especially

Adina: 1:00:03

No, I get that. Uh, I totally get that.

Diane: 1:00:07

so ways to work together, one on one coaching. This was so fun last summer. I opened up a few options depending on the level of support that you want. It's been a while since I opened them publicly because I usually just fill them privately or clients are renewing or going from RCR. My. root cause reset course, but I have a week for a taste, a month of one on one if you want to dive in a little bit deeper, maybe with an htma hair test, or a couple of VIP spots for all in by application, and I'm mentioning one on one also because summer I know a lot of people have a lot of things going. They're traveling, they're flying places, they don't want to be in an office or in front of a Zoom call for a long period of time. So this is a great way to do that virtually. We can text an audio message. You get casually coached up wherever you are. So it was super fun last year to help clients like dig in and like make a plan for travel or for healing their periods, their fertility or troubleshooting, bubble guts, all those things. And I'm going to close one on one after October through the spring because I'll have my hands full and we'll be focusing on course stuff then. So one on one coaching is, It's something to think about if it's been on your radar. Get in. And also, HTMA reviews, we're booking into July if you want to have that done for you situation. One thing I did want to float by, the shitheads first, and my larger community. If you're new, that's what we lovingly call our listeners for Get Your Shits Together. Um, I'm thinking about doing a mineral workshop. So maybe you've heard about the HTMA, but you just want to get started. You hear us talk about salty water, but want to know like what else you can do to support your minerals so you can support your metabolism, your fertility, your energy, a mineral workshop. Let me know if you'd be interested in that. And I'm also thinking about doing like a small group. htma review like program because I can only take on so many htma reviews at once like on a done for you basis but perhaps in like a group setting can serve and support more clients that way so let me know if either of those strike your fancy

Adina: 1:02:20

Sounds lovely. Have you run an HTMA since you started growing your parasite?

Diane: 1:02:26

No, I did it right before, I did it before we went to Japan. I did blood work, functional blood work before Japan. But I might do an HTMA. It's interesting the cravings I have. I haven't had many cravings, but the beginning first trimester, it was like, I need banana bread three times a week. I need coconut water. I was like, my potassium. I did need to work on that.

Adina: 1:02:47

just bottoming out right now. Um, yes, yes, yes. Interesting. Um, okay. I'm going to be mindful of time because we're really trying to keep this season under an hour, but it's already not happening. But I think I have to cut out a phone call I had with my dad. So maybe it will

Diane: 1:03:00

Yeah, and like another sidebar we had.

Adina: 1:03:02

Yeah. Um, okay. So as far as working with me over the summer, you're probably used to hearing this already, but you can join us inside of STHH, which is my signature. program that you can do from home. It's 14 weeks long. It's really 18 weeks long, but I say 14, just not to scare you off. Cause we call the last four weeks of bonus block. Um, Yeah. So it's 18 weeks of kettlebell programming that you can do from home in your PJs and it will get you so strong and energized and you'll feel wonderful inside of that beautiful body of yours. So if your goal for that summer body is to be strong and capable and independent and wonderful and youthful and athletic, man. You gotta do STHH. If you have done STHH in the past, and you are looking for some more consistency in your training, you're looking for a community of people to hype you up and keep you accountable, you're looking for some new and refreshing programming to get you excited about training again so you can work towards some new goals. Then you, my friend need to join the club, our monthly training membership, because it's so much fun. The current training block is wonderful, especially if you're a pregnant, by the way, like Diane, my co host who is pregnant, um, the prenatal programming in there right now is super, super fun and supportive of getting you all ready for labor and feeling so good in that pelvis. Um, so yeah, that's for you. And then if you are coming up on a postpartum season, Like my co host, Diane, who just told us all that she's pregnant, um,

Diane: 1:04:36

Like

Adina: 1:04:37

you might want, you might want to grab the STHH postpartum program, which is currently on a steep presale. And that program is going to take you from lying in your bed, feeling like a disconnected sack of potatoes to feeling like a strong and capable, athletic and independent mama

Diane: 1:04:54

I thought you were gonna say like a hot potato.

Adina: 1:04:57

Like a hot potato. That should be the tagline. Um, who can get up off the floor, holding her baby easily, who can throw her kids in the air and just be the fun mom and feel wonderful and juicy in those joints and incredible. And we want that for all of you.

Diane: 1:05:10

a Turkish getup, my baby.

Adina: 1:05:13

you can, you can do that.

Diane: 1:05:15

With one hand.

Adina: 1:05:16

Yeah. Anyways, thank you so much for joining us today for hearing a share about our summer bodies and our summer goals. And we hope that you have some fun summer goals. We can't wait to support you in those. If you would like us to, to walk alongside you and to help you gain energy and get strong and feel great. Um,

Diane: 1:05:38

mom saying, signing off, and like bye, and then

Adina: 1:05:41

know things just, it's getting late. It took over. Um, anyways,

Diane: 1:05:46

bedtime, you gotta get in bed, girl.

Adina: 1:05:48

Diane: 1:05:51

Yes. Love you.

Adina: 1:05:53

Bye.
