1
00:00:20,320 --> 00:00:24,759
Speaker 1: Hey, everybody, emilya Badi here you are listening to the

2
00:00:24,840 --> 00:00:28,880
Speaker 1: ever lovely five minute Friday on Hurdle. It's always lovely

3
00:00:29,080 --> 00:00:33,320
Speaker 1: to have a moment to reconnect with you, the hurdlers.

4
00:00:33,840 --> 00:00:36,680
Speaker 1: I've had a mega productive week. I feel like things

5
00:00:36,680 --> 00:00:39,280
Speaker 1: are really rolling right now. When it comes to twenty

6
00:00:39,320 --> 00:00:43,240
Speaker 1: twenty four and twenty twenty four planning, it's all happening.

7
00:00:44,200 --> 00:00:48,919
Speaker 1: I'm starting to see the fruits of my labor, so

8
00:00:48,960 --> 00:00:51,560
Speaker 1: to speak, when it comes to the goals and intentions

9
00:00:51,560 --> 00:00:55,280
Speaker 1: that I set just a few weeks ago. And it's

10
00:00:55,320 --> 00:01:00,000
Speaker 1: exciting when you feel really aligned with what you've said

11
00:01:00,200 --> 00:01:04,319
Speaker 1: out to do, knowing that it is really something that

12
00:01:04,400 --> 00:01:06,119
Speaker 1: you genuinely want.

13
00:01:06,680 --> 00:01:09,560
Speaker 2: I think Quitter's day they call it, was this week.

14
00:01:10,160 --> 00:01:15,000
Speaker 1: And the only resolution that I have faltered on thus

15
00:01:15,080 --> 00:01:19,560
Speaker 1: far is doing whole thirty in January, and today I'm

16
00:01:19,560 --> 00:01:22,720
Speaker 1: going to tell you why. So I set out to

17
00:01:22,720 --> 00:01:25,280
Speaker 1: do a whole thirty at the beginning of the year.

18
00:01:25,760 --> 00:01:29,039
Speaker 1: I had a couple of good friends who were joining

19
00:01:29,040 --> 00:01:32,520
Speaker 1: me along for the ride, one of whom has done

20
00:01:32,840 --> 00:01:35,800
Speaker 1: the diet, if we want to call it that, before

21
00:01:36,400 --> 00:01:39,280
Speaker 1: and really enjoyed it. And she's talked about it so

22
00:01:39,440 --> 00:01:43,880
Speaker 1: often that I thought to myself, listen, I have this

23
00:01:44,200 --> 00:01:47,560
Speaker 1: big shoot that I'm doing at the end of this month.

24
00:01:47,840 --> 00:01:50,480
Speaker 1: I want to make sure I'm really eating well, taking

25
00:01:50,520 --> 00:01:54,639
Speaker 1: care of myself, investing in my mental health, my physical health,

26
00:01:54,720 --> 00:01:59,280
Speaker 1: my gut health, everything in January. And so I'm in,

27
00:01:59,440 --> 00:02:03,920
Speaker 1: let's do its together. And basically, I think thirteen or

28
00:02:04,280 --> 00:02:06,760
Speaker 1: maybe twelve or thirteen days into the month, I had

29
00:02:06,800 --> 00:02:10,400
Speaker 1: had no issues at all sticking with Whole thirty. In fact,

30
00:02:10,440 --> 00:02:13,320
Speaker 1: I thought it was pretty aligned with what my diet

31
00:02:13,400 --> 00:02:18,520
Speaker 1: typically looks like. I would say the only large differences

32
00:02:18,919 --> 00:02:24,200
Speaker 1: were that I cut out dairy aka cheese, and I

33
00:02:24,280 --> 00:02:28,600
Speaker 1: was nixing grains and bread. So that meant no toast

34
00:02:28,680 --> 00:02:33,240
Speaker 1: with breakfast, no quinoa on my salads, no quenwa with dinner,

35
00:02:34,280 --> 00:02:40,320
Speaker 1: rice pasta again, bread like, just some elements that candidly

36
00:02:40,360 --> 00:02:46,400
Speaker 1: at times I have previously felt guilty for eating. And

37
00:02:46,480 --> 00:02:48,280
Speaker 1: so I was like, I'm just gonna next season, it's

38
00:02:48,280 --> 00:02:50,120
Speaker 1: going to be really great for me. Oh and the

39
00:02:50,160 --> 00:02:54,760
Speaker 1: last thing I cannot forget is all like desserts. So

40
00:02:55,160 --> 00:03:00,160
Speaker 1: no more random ice cream bar from Yasso before where

41
00:03:00,160 --> 00:03:05,040
Speaker 1: I go to bed, no more chocolate, no random croissants

42
00:03:05,080 --> 00:03:07,600
Speaker 1: after a run, like things like this, no sweet treats,

43
00:03:08,040 --> 00:03:12,920
Speaker 1: and so I didn't have any negative feedback on the

44
00:03:12,960 --> 00:03:16,120
Speaker 1: way of eating until, like I said, day twelve thirteen,

45
00:03:16,720 --> 00:03:19,520
Speaker 1: I didn't have those like upfront headaches that people talked

46
00:03:19,520 --> 00:03:22,000
Speaker 1: about when it came to sugar withdrawal. Like I didn't

47
00:03:22,000 --> 00:03:24,680
Speaker 1: feel any of these symptoms, and I was eating a

48
00:03:24,720 --> 00:03:28,280
Speaker 1: fair amount of fruit on the diet. But come that

49
00:03:28,560 --> 00:03:32,600
Speaker 1: threshold of twelve thirteen, I developed a headache that I

50
00:03:32,680 --> 00:03:35,640
Speaker 1: still feel like I have at times. But for the

51
00:03:35,680 --> 00:03:39,040
Speaker 1: first forty eight hours it was so intense I couldn't

52
00:03:39,520 --> 00:03:44,840
Speaker 1: focus on anything. And on the third day, the third

53
00:03:44,920 --> 00:03:48,600
Speaker 1: morning I woke up, I spoke with a friend or

54
00:03:48,600 --> 00:03:50,840
Speaker 1: two that are both registered dietitians. I told them what

55
00:03:50,880 --> 00:03:54,440
Speaker 1: I was experiencing, and one of them basically said to me, Emily,

56
00:03:54,640 --> 00:03:57,600
Speaker 1: this is your body screaming. This is a red flag,

57
00:03:58,200 --> 00:04:02,720
Speaker 1: especially because I am currently training for a marathon, which

58
00:04:02,760 --> 00:04:05,760
Speaker 1: meant that I went from a place of being knee

59
00:04:05,760 --> 00:04:09,080
Speaker 1: deep in recovery practices. I've been dealing with knee tendonitis,

60
00:04:09,120 --> 00:04:12,760
Speaker 1: which has been really so much better lately. I'm so

61
00:04:12,800 --> 00:04:15,960
Speaker 1: grateful for it. Really putting in the work to feel

62
00:04:15,960 --> 00:04:18,920
Speaker 1: better in my body, and then I'm met with these

63
00:04:18,960 --> 00:04:21,839
Speaker 1: headaches from something that I'm choosing to do. I'm choosing

64
00:04:21,880 --> 00:04:25,000
Speaker 1: to do whole thirty, even though what I'm learning is

65
00:04:25,000 --> 00:04:28,400
Speaker 1: that maybe it isn't serving me how I'd hoped. And

66
00:04:28,480 --> 00:04:30,960
Speaker 1: so I did the best I could with the information

67
00:04:31,000 --> 00:04:35,279
Speaker 1: that I had, and I made the decision to take

68
00:04:35,320 --> 00:04:38,240
Speaker 1: care of me. And I'll be candid like that was

69
00:04:38,320 --> 00:04:40,360
Speaker 1: really challenging because I didn't want to.

70
00:04:40,279 --> 00:04:42,159
Speaker 2: Feel as though I failed.

71
00:04:42,200 --> 00:04:44,920
Speaker 1: But what I think really it was when I take

72
00:04:44,960 --> 00:04:47,560
Speaker 1: a look at the choice that I made to go

73
00:04:47,680 --> 00:04:53,880
Speaker 1: off of the program, was me getting information and doing

74
00:04:53,920 --> 00:04:58,320
Speaker 1: something about it rather than lingering in this malaise of

75
00:04:58,640 --> 00:05:03,320
Speaker 1: uncomfortable headaches and just not feeling my best. And really,

76
00:05:03,680 --> 00:05:07,720
Speaker 1: I believe that failing fast is a skill set that

77
00:05:07,760 --> 00:05:11,760
Speaker 1: a lot of people are scared to embrace. And again,

78
00:05:12,080 --> 00:05:14,680
Speaker 1: you know, as always when I say the words fail

79
00:05:15,120 --> 00:05:19,560
Speaker 1: in quotes on the show, it really means learning how

80
00:05:19,600 --> 00:05:22,479
Speaker 1: to pivot from where you're at and the opportunity to

81
00:05:23,480 --> 00:05:27,720
Speaker 1: learn something. And so I on that third day a

82
00:05:27,880 --> 00:05:30,279
Speaker 1: oatmeal in the morning, I think I had rice with

83
00:05:30,480 --> 00:05:33,320
Speaker 1: lunch and rice with dinner and really started to get

84
00:05:33,360 --> 00:05:36,880
Speaker 1: back the carbs that end up with sugar at the

85
00:05:36,960 --> 00:05:39,599
Speaker 1: end of the day back into my diet so that

86
00:05:39,640 --> 00:05:41,880
Speaker 1: I could give my body what it needs to fuel.

87
00:05:42,480 --> 00:05:45,640
Speaker 1: And this is really, you know, a lesson something that

88
00:05:45,680 --> 00:05:48,159
Speaker 1: happened to me that I'm proud of. I'm proud that

89
00:05:48,200 --> 00:05:52,360
Speaker 1: I quit whole thirty because again, I was doing what

90
00:05:52,480 --> 00:05:55,440
Speaker 1: I needed to do. And so my question for you

91
00:05:55,560 --> 00:05:58,240
Speaker 1: this month is is there something going on in your

92
00:05:58,279 --> 00:06:01,279
Speaker 1: life right now that you may be lying to yourself

93
00:06:01,320 --> 00:06:05,760
Speaker 1: about something that you could choose to quote unquote fail

94
00:06:05,839 --> 00:06:10,560
Speaker 1: fast at and then move forward. What is something that

95
00:06:10,600 --> 00:06:14,159
Speaker 1: you're doing right now that actually isn't serving you at all?

96
00:06:14,720 --> 00:06:16,679
Speaker 1: And now I'll listen to our question.

97
00:06:17,880 --> 00:06:21,600
Speaker 3: Hey, Emily Christine from Portland, Oregon. Here a long time hurdler.

98
00:06:22,040 --> 00:06:24,760
Speaker 3: Thanks so much for your great perspectives. I have been

99
00:06:24,800 --> 00:06:27,320
Speaker 3: empowered to reframe hurdle moments in my life thanks to

100
00:06:27,360 --> 00:06:30,720
Speaker 3: your thoughtful insights. I'm reaching out for some advice about

101
00:06:30,720 --> 00:06:33,920
Speaker 3: an upcoming trip. I'm heading to Orlando for the Olympic

102
00:06:33,960 --> 00:06:37,440
Speaker 3: Marathon trials and I'm excited about getting to see the

103
00:06:37,480 --> 00:06:40,240
Speaker 3: race in person. It should be awesome, but I'm also

104
00:06:40,279 --> 00:06:42,480
Speaker 3: a bit anxious since what was originally planned to be

105
00:06:42,520 --> 00:06:45,880
Speaker 3: a girlfriend's getaway, has turned into a solo trip. I

106
00:06:45,920 --> 00:06:48,280
Speaker 3: hope there will be opportunities to connect with and meet

107
00:06:48,320 --> 00:06:51,919
Speaker 3: new people during the weekend events, but who knows. I

108
00:06:51,960 --> 00:06:54,600
Speaker 3: know you've had a lot of great experiences with solo travel,

109
00:06:54,760 --> 00:06:57,359
Speaker 3: so I will be grateful for your advice and hopefully

110
00:06:57,400 --> 00:07:00,839
Speaker 3: some insider scoop on events for the big week in Orlando,

111
00:07:01,440 --> 00:07:04,240
Speaker 3: maybe a hurdler get together. Hope to see you there,

112
00:07:04,920 --> 00:07:05,839
Speaker 3: Thanks so much.

113
00:07:06,200 --> 00:07:09,680
Speaker 2: Hey, hey, ah, I love this. You might see me there.

114
00:07:09,760 --> 00:07:11,960
Speaker 1: Actually, I am going to be in town, although I'm

115
00:07:12,000 --> 00:07:15,120
Speaker 1: not hosting any events or any hurdler meetups, but I

116
00:07:15,200 --> 00:07:19,440
Speaker 1: certainly will be cheering TBD if I'm bringing the megaphone.

117
00:07:19,520 --> 00:07:21,480
Speaker 2: But it's going to be a good time now.

118
00:07:21,520 --> 00:07:23,920
Speaker 1: As for solo travel, yes, I've done a lot of it,

119
00:07:23,960 --> 00:07:27,640
Speaker 1: and I would say I have three big takeaways from

120
00:07:27,640 --> 00:07:30,760
Speaker 1: traveling on my own. First and foremost, I always bring

121
00:07:30,800 --> 00:07:32,600
Speaker 1: a book or a journal if I'm going to sit

122
00:07:32,720 --> 00:07:36,280
Speaker 1: down for a meal that's not like a fast casual situation,

123
00:07:37,000 --> 00:07:40,640
Speaker 1: for instance, maybe dinner, and I bring that because the

124
00:07:40,720 --> 00:07:42,520
Speaker 1: last thing I want to be doing when I'm out

125
00:07:42,560 --> 00:07:47,080
Speaker 1: to eat alone is sitting there on my phone scrolling

126
00:07:47,080 --> 00:07:50,480
Speaker 1: through social media. I want to be present with my surroundings.

127
00:07:50,480 --> 00:07:52,120
Speaker 1: I want to be able to look up and I

128
00:07:52,160 --> 00:07:55,400
Speaker 1: want to greet people, and I want to invest that

129
00:07:55,600 --> 00:07:59,720
Speaker 1: time in myself. If I'm traveling alone, I view that

130
00:07:59,720 --> 00:08:04,640
Speaker 1: as an an opportunity to date myself. And let me

131
00:08:04,720 --> 00:08:09,960
Speaker 1: tell you you are worthy of dating. The second takeaway

132
00:08:10,000 --> 00:08:12,120
Speaker 1: I have on social travel is you do want to

133
00:08:12,120 --> 00:08:15,160
Speaker 1: make sure that you pack your schedule or schedule something

134
00:08:15,160 --> 00:08:17,640
Speaker 1: that excites you. One thing in the morning and one

135
00:08:17,640 --> 00:08:20,640
Speaker 1: thing in the afternoon. When you are on your own,

136
00:08:20,760 --> 00:08:24,960
Speaker 1: it is a really great time and opportunity to meet people.

137
00:08:25,480 --> 00:08:29,840
Speaker 1: And also you get complete control over your schedule. So

138
00:08:30,520 --> 00:08:33,480
Speaker 1: in this instance, in particular, there's going to be so

139
00:08:33,640 --> 00:08:37,240
Speaker 1: much stuff happening in Orlando this weekend, on top of

140
00:08:37,240 --> 00:08:41,760
Speaker 1: of course Orlando being the home to Universal Studios and Disney.

141
00:08:41,840 --> 00:08:47,200
Speaker 1: So make something happen for yourself, find activities that excite you,

142
00:08:47,760 --> 00:08:50,320
Speaker 1: and make sure that you do whatever needs to happen

143
00:08:50,520 --> 00:08:54,679
Speaker 1: to set yourself up for success. And the last thing

144
00:08:54,720 --> 00:08:58,400
Speaker 1: I will say is just be open. It may be

145
00:08:58,480 --> 00:09:00,679
Speaker 1: a little different for you to be a little bit

146
00:09:00,720 --> 00:09:04,360
Speaker 1: more open to your surroundings, right to say hi to

147
00:09:04,400 --> 00:09:07,560
Speaker 1: someone on the street or compliment someone on what they

148
00:09:07,640 --> 00:09:10,559
Speaker 1: might be wearing. But in this instance, you're on your

149
00:09:10,600 --> 00:09:15,400
Speaker 1: own and it is a really, really great opportunity to

150
00:09:15,440 --> 00:09:18,240
Speaker 1: make some new friends. This is one of those situations,

151
00:09:18,280 --> 00:09:20,000
Speaker 1: what's the worst thing that's going to happen.

152
00:09:20,320 --> 00:09:22,280
Speaker 2: You're going to be exactly back where you started.

153
00:09:22,600 --> 00:09:24,880
Speaker 1: If the worst thing that's going to happen is you

154
00:09:25,280 --> 00:09:28,280
Speaker 1: pipe up and try to strike up a conversation with

155
00:09:28,320 --> 00:09:31,000
Speaker 1: someone or ask about programming later in the day, or

156
00:09:31,040 --> 00:09:34,520
Speaker 1: whatever the case may be, and they're not into it.
