 Hi friends, welcome back to my channel and welcome if you're new here. My name is Jen. I'm a weight loss and nutrition coach and I'm mom VW or the Weight Watchers Blue Plan. Happy Friday. It's another Friday, so it's another way in day, the first weigh-in of the month of June. The weather here has been so nice. We had several days in the 90s which I'm here for as long as I can retreat into my home in my central AC to cool off. The dogs and I are loving being outside during the day. So it's been quite a blessing that the weather has been so incredibly nice here. It's really helped me move my body more and stay on track. So we'll chat a little bit more about that when I share my goals for next week. But if you're excited for another weigh-in workshop topic, setting some goals for the next week, give this video a big thumbs up.

I also offer one-on-one coaching if you want to chat with me directly. Links, discounts to all my favorite things and my Facebook group are also all down in that description box. So let's jump in to the weigh-in workshop topic and set some goals for next week. I don't know if you can notice a big difference but I'm officially filming on my brand new camera. I am so excited. I hated filming on my phone. It's been a couple years since I've had to use my phone to film and I know why even more now I invested in getting a camera. So the quality is going to be so much better. I'm still tinkering with it a little bit. The lens that I purchased is all up in my business so I'm still figuring out exactly where to sit in my office, how far away you need to be in order for me to not be right here in my face. So let me know down in the comments what you think of the quality and if you feel like I should scoot back a little bit more for future videos. So that was a big highlight of my week. I've been on track. I finished the month of May out strong as you guys saw my last weigh in. Through the end of the month I stayed within my challenge goals. So it was a great month and I've even decided to implement a new challenge for the month of June over on my Facebook group. So if you're not on my Facebook group come join us. It's not too late to take part in the June challenge. It's all about tracking. We are tracking our food good bad ugly and I myself am reaching my protein goal every single day. No ifs ands or buts. So I'm excited for another challenge month which helps me stay motivated and on track and led to a pretty successful weigh-in overall results for the month of May. Troy is back to work from his medical leave so this week I had Palmer by myself for the first 40s of the week while he was at work. It was a little tough to get things done but we're establishing a routine and it's nice to spend a little bit of extra time with him because he's such a sweet little thing. So stay tuned of course for future videos showing the dogs. I know you guys love seeing the dogs in my videos so I would say that I had a great week. So before I jump into my way and let's chat a bit about this week's workshop topic we're still in the get stronger stay stronger series and this week's topic is are you ready to make a change and the questions to ask yourself and the steps to take to make those changes. So knowing how you identify with change whether or not you embrace change or you struggle with change there's a few questions that you can ask yourself to see what category you've fallen. I will already tell you that I can pinpoint my strategy with change 100%. I love change. I'm here for changing it up. I like any kind of change. In fact I thrive with change where my lovely husband hates change. He is somebody who is very routine oriented and doesn't like when that's shaken up. He likes to just be even keel steady no change. So to determine where you fall on the spectrum of change there are some questions that you can ask yourself. Choose the answers of these questions that best speak with you. Question number one when deciding what health and wellness changes to make a. I have no problem making changes b. I find it a little challenging and c. I'm indecisive is my middle name. I'm 100 million percent a. Question number two once I decide what change I want to make a. I always do it even if it takes a few tries b. Sometimes I follow through and c. I can't seem to make it work again a. This girl in a. And question number three when I face an unexpected change a. I can adapt even if it requires a bit of effort b. I can sometimes adjust and c. I tend to have a hard time acclimating again. I'm 100% in a. I take it as it comes. The changes in my opinion are great. Life is all about changes. I embrace them. That's actually something that I feel is one of my strong points is being able to embrace the things that are thrown at me. So if you answered mostly a. You are hello change bring it on when faced with change. Remember how you've dealt with it in the past leveraging your strength of embracing change you've managed before you can do it again. Like I said I knew that I would fall in the category of embracing change. Now if you answered mostly b. When it comes to change you're steadily in the middle. Can you recall a time when you felt good about making or dealing with change? What factors made you feel confident? What happened when you were less confident? Compare the two. The next time you struggle with change lean on those successful tools. And if you answered mostly c. Okay so embracing change isn't really your thing. Shift your narrative by thinking of a time when you did well with change. What worked? How did you grow from that shift? The more you recognize the changes you've embraced the more likely you'll be able to do it again. So let me know down in the comments were you an a a b or a c. And do you agree with the assessment of how you deal with change? In the past we've talked about a fixed mindset and a growth mindset. So if you're someone that answered a lot of c's you generally have more of a fixed mindset. It's hard for you to change things. You have your mind made up it's fixed it's settled it is what it is. And if you answered a's absolutely and a lot of b's then you have more of a growth mindset where you're able to embrace things thrown your way. You're able to grow from things and you're able to embrace change. You have a fixed mindset just work on embracing change and embracing the things that are thrown your way. So again let me know down in the comments if you were an a a b or a c and how you embrace change. So now let's jump into this week's weigh-in. Unfortunately for me on Tuesday I started my least favorite time of the month. So I'm pretty much in full swing of it at today's weigh-in. But when I stepped on the scale this week I'm still down point two even though I am in the middle of my cycle which to me is a huge win. Like I've mentioned before generally I gain or maintain my weight when I'm on my cycle so hey I'll take a down point two and we are starting the month of June off strong. I'm hoping that next week it catches up once my cycle's finished. I'm staying on track. I'm tracking everything. I'm hitting my protein goal. I'm moving my body always drinking my gallon of water. Hopefully it catches up a little bit with me next week but you know what I will take the win of being down during my cycle. So those are my plans for this next week a little bit more of the same. I'm again loving these challenges monthly on my Facebook group. It's been so fun. It's been a game changer and very very very motivating for me which I greatly appreciate. So again down in the comments let me know if you're an A, B or C, how your week was, how your weigh-in was, and what your goals are moving into the second or the first full week of the month of June.
