Meredith interviews Meredith (yes, really). In this episode, Meredith Atwood and Meredith Vieceli (the Merediths) give you a little bit of “who in the heck are they” information. 

We learn why Meredith Vieceli (MV) went to one semester of law school, and Meredith Atwood (MA) stayed in the legal profession despite wanting to leave during the first semester of law school.  MV grew up on a real farm (as opposed to a fake farm), and really REALLY loves her kids.  MA REALLY loves her kids, too, but frames a carpe diem in a way that will make you rethink your biggest regret.

In this raw episode, the Merediths discuss why Swim Bike Fuel nutrition is revolutionizing the way “dieting” should be done—(NOT A DIET!), and why women are breaking down the doors to the Merediths to be a part of the new program.

The Merediths forgot to discuss their band instruments.  Guess they'll need to cover that in another show.

“Women named Meredith are enigmatic. They are extremely intelligent but have a tendency to act amazingly stupid. They have loads of factual knowledge but little knowledge of the "ways of the world." There two varieties of Merediths. One variety encompasses the Merediths who use their intelligence to act pure and innocent but soon the truth of their scandalous side comes out. The other variety of Merediths are truly innocent. Decipher which type is which at your own peril. 

‘Don't let Meredith fool you; she seems stupid but she knows exactly what she's doing. 

‘Meredith is literally too good to be true.”

The Merediths explore drinking—whether we, collectively, as a society might have a drinking problem.

“Women in America are drinking far more, and far more frequently, than their mothers or grandmothers did, and alcohol consumption is killing them in record numbers.”  Washington Post

What is moderation?

We hear the term “drink in moderation” all the time - what does that really mean? Is one drink a day moderation? What if you don’t drink during the week but you finish a bottle of wine on a Friday night in PJs in the comfort of your living room? Is that still considered moderation?

Why do we drink?

Emotional, social and societal triggers

Our own personal experiences with alcohol

The Merediths share their stories

What messaging are we getting from the mass and social media? culture? our friends?

Do we have a drinking problem? And if yes, what are some ways to get beyond it?

What are the health implications of drinking?

How to start on the road to “quitting” if that’s what you need to do

Which comes first:  exercise or eating right?  The long-time riddle “chicken or the egg” is explored in terms of fitness and food. Should you work on improving your nutrition before you begin an exercise plan? OR should you get moving first and then pay attention to what you’re putting in your mouth?

“Can't unscramble the egg no matter your wisdom and determination” - Kaleb Kilton

MV argues why it’s FOOD!

1) Food is fuel.

2)  “Eat less and exercise more” mantra of all conventional diet and weight loss programs is setting you up for failure.

3) The right food will CHANGE you from the inside out without ever stepping foot on a treadmill. Whole foods to balance blood sugar, improve mood, cool inflammation, increased, steady energy, no more headaches, gastric issues. The natural consequence of eating well is that you will WANT to move more!

MA argues why it’s EXERCISE! Or either – just do something!

1) Do whatever you can do

2) Personality Matters

3) Addictive personality considerations

 

**IMPORTANT DISTINCTIONS AND POINTS**

1) We’re assuming that we’re trying to GET HEALTHIER, not just lose weight.

2) Type of movement/exercise matters.

3) If we tried “Food” first and failed it’s because we've been taught the wrong info

Why do we make excuses and lie to ourselves? In this episode, the Merediths explore the areas of our life that we tend to make the most excuses. They discuss what motivation really is, and how it can be something than we can “count” on, not wait to happen. We’ll try to figure out why we do it and how our lies and excuses are holding us back?

Episode 3 – Excuses & Lies

“Ninety-nine percent of the failures come from people who have the habit of making excuses.” George Washington Carver

Urban Dictionary Definition of Excuses:  Tools of incompetence, used to build monuments of nothingness and those who specialize in them seldom accomplish anything.

What are you making excuses about?

WHY do we lie to ourselves and make excuses?

Change is hard.

Lack of self-control or will power

Fear of failure AND/OR Fear of Success

How are your excuses working out for you so far?

At what point, do you decide to stop making excuses and start living in alignment with your goals and values.

Finally, can excuses be a GOOD thing?
