Eating More Carbs and Ditching the Scale: Lisa's Story

Nikkiey: Real quick, the only ask I could ever have of you guys is to help spread the word so we can help more women lose body fat, build muscle, reach their goals and feel insanely confident. And the only way we can do that is if you rate, review and share this podcast. So the single thing I ask you to do is leave a review. It will take you 10 seconds, and it will mean the absolute world to me and may change the world of someone else.

Imagine finding a sustainable approach to health that allows you to focus on building a better body rather than just chasing weight loss. Today's story is about Lisa, a WarriorBabe member who broke free from the endless cycle of fad diets to discover a new way of eating that prioritizes muscle growth, clarity and confidence. Stay tuned to hear how Lisa embraced carbohydrates, ditched the scale and transformed her relationship with food for good.

Welcome to a world where weight loss isn't the ultimate measure of progress. Meet Lisa, a dedicated WarriorBabe who gained a leaner physique, fuller muscles and mental clarity by transforming her approach to health and fitness. I am your host, Nikkiey Stott. On this episode, be sure to stick around to learn why trusting the process, planning your meals and embracing a sustainable approach can help you transform your relationship with fitness too.

Hey, everybody. Welcome to our WarriorBabe interview with our veteran WarriorBabe, Lisa. Lisa has been a WarriorBabe for about nine months now, right?

Lisa: Mm-hmm.

Nikkiey: Cool. At the initial start, you dove right into the VIP program. You came in, you were eating less carbohydrates, and I bumped your carbs up to what, like 210 in that first week? You dropped weight. We were both like, oh my God. Even though you've only lost about 10 pounds in total, you dropped down to around the 15, 14 marker. But even though it's only been that 10 pounds, your journey has been more of staying at the same weight and watching your composition start to change. So I'm excited to touch base on that here.

On top of that, it's been an amazing thing to watch your transformation as a coach with your body, but your mindset since day one of working with you has completely shifted. You're a very strong-minded individual, but you've come to understand how this is a journey. And you have brought so much to the table recently in our Q&As and our huddles about what the journey should entail on the mindset side of things. So it's been amazing to watch your progress, both mind and body. So everybody, Lisa is here today to share some pointers for you, babe, so that you can adopt some of her strategies into your own journey moving forward. So welcome, Lisa. I'm super excited to have you here.

Lisa: Thanks.

Nikkiey: All right, babe, let's kick it off. Let's open it up, and you tell us your story and how you got to where you are now.

Lisa: Okay. Going back a ways, throughout my life I've been on so many of my own journeys, from one fad diet to the next. The next year something new comes out, and I'm like, oh, well, that's why that wasn't working, because I was eating this. And then it was, oh, well, I'm not eating that. It was always eat this, don't eat that, do this, don't do that. Intermittent fasting and keto, all these magic things. And I'm like, well, if it's the magic thing, why do people keep going off of it? Why do they keep restarting it, if this is the magic thing? And I was like, why can't I ever stick with anything? And it was because I missed carbs. That's what would attract me.

Nikkiey: Yeah.

Lisa: So I stalked you for like a year, and I just watched what you would say. And so many times bells would go off. I'm like, oh my gosh, yes, that's exactly how I'm thinking. How does she know what I'm thinking? I trusted you before I knew you. I reached out to you several times, and you responded back directly to me. So I was like, okay, she's real, and I can do this.

When I reached out to you, I think I was eating around 90 carbs a day, if that. And I thought that was actually a lot. So you gave me that first week, and I think the very first week I was at like 185 or 190 carbs. And I was like, oh my gosh. And we dropped like six pounds that week. So then you bumped me up to over 200 the next week, and I was like, oh my gosh.

It took me a few weeks to start feeling things. But after two, three, four weeks, my clarity started coming back. My mind wasn't a total fog all the freaking time. I had energy, I had strength, my workouts started being productive again. I could actually lift heavier weight. Everything in general just came together. So that's what got me being a believer in the process. And from there, the journey just goes on, and I think throughout the interview we'll touch on it. But that's what got me to where I was like, okay, I'm a believer. You were right there with me, saying, don't freak out, this is good, it's a good thing.

And I was so hungry. You instantly gave me all this more food. Remember, the first week I said, Nikkiey, I'm not going to be able to eat all this food, this is so much food. And then after that first week, I was like, I need more food. And I think every week since then, I've been like, I want more food.

Nikkiey: Yeah, you're pretty accommodating. So how long would you say your journey has been with the whole fitness thing, trying the different things you touched on in the beginning, to what got you right here? How long has that been?

Lisa: Probably over 30 years.

Nikkiey: Wow.

Lisa: No, 30, 40 years of trying. I went through everything, because when I was a teenager I was pudgy. I was very fluffy. And so my mom put me on, the very first diet I remember was the grapefruit diet. It was terrible. And then it was the cabbage diet, and then the Scarsdale diet, and then the eat one of every kind of thing a day diet. Just from one thing to the other, literally my whole life.

And of course I'd lose weight, but then I would get to that point and, I mean, how much cabbage can you eat? I don't really eat cabbage to this day because of that diet. Everything would always end up with me abandoning it, because it wasn't realistic and there's no way you can stick to that. Every single time, I would get thinner, but I didn't necessarily look better. And I would always go off of it, and then I would just gorge, eat whatever, gain my weight back plus some. And then the next new diet would come along. I've done that for as long as I can remember.

Nikkiey: Yeah.

Lisa: What was it you wanted me to share?

Nikkiey: I think we're just about to get right into it. The way we're conversing already, I want you to be able to share what you recently shared on one of the Q&As, because this is what we were talking about. We were talking about all these different diets and the things that you've done to your body over the course of these years. And then you came to this point recently, like you shared, where this epiphany happened a couple of weeks ago. Share that. What was that shift?

Lisa: Yeah. So obviously I've had more time on my hands lately, and I've had a lot more time to think about things. I started asking myself a lot of questions, because I've seen improvement in my body even though I'm doing everything I've always been told I couldn't do. I couldn't eat more. I definitely couldn't eat more carbs. Doing less cardio. All these things I've always been told you have to do. So, trusting this process, I was like, why do I have these goal ranges?

I have this range of goals in my head that's acceptable to me, that I can diet and get to. Why is it that once I get to that point, I'm like, okay, I've won, I'm there, and then I just start eating normal again? And then I have this other range over here that's my maximum acceptable range. Once I get there, that's like, I've reached unhappiness, now it's time to start going back this way. It was this yo-yo effect. I would keep going back and forth, back and forth, for all these years.

Well, heck, that's done a lot of damage to my body. My body was shot, and it didn't trust me. So when I started with you, I think I had a lot of resistance in my body for months, because my body didn't believe me. It was waiting for that shoe to drop: oh, she's going to go back to what she was doing. And when I didn't, probably around the six-month mark is when I started asking myself these questions. And just recently, I've really gotten serious about questioning myself and wanting to know why I do these things. I'm not a hundred percent to the point of knowing all my whys yet, but I am starting to recognize them, which is really big for me, and to talk about them, which anybody who knows me knows is really big.

Nikkiey: Yes.

Lisa: To share any weaknesses.

Nikkiey: Yes. A hundred percent. I know you so well. But that's one thing that so many women, on a deeper level, don't realize, that they do this back and forth. And that's something you've come to the realization of: why do you do this back and forth?

Lisa: Right, right. And I would do it because I always had an acceptable weight in my head. I always had this goal, like I want to get to, whatever, 135. That's where I want to get to. And by all means necessary, I would get there. It was like a challenge: my challenge weight is 135, go. And I would do whatever I had to. I'd cardio myself to death, eat a thousand calories a day.

Nikkiey: Yeah, I know.

Lisa: Right. And then I would get there and I would be miserable. I was hungry as shit. All around, I didn't feel good. I didn't have the energy to go do things. I had terrible brain fog all the time. I just thought there was something wrong with me. I didn't understand that not only was it my nutrition, but my mindset had become so skewed that I actually thought this was right, like this is how it should be and this is how it is. And it's not.

Nikkiey: Yes. So let's touch on that, because you've been pretty much around this same weight, and this is something that always screws with so many women's heads. Like, I have to be this particular weight. Like you're saying, I need to get to 135, this challenge. I need to hit this specific weight. I need to lose 10, 15 pounds. You've been sitting at the same weight, fluctuating, for what, like three months now? But we're seeing the composition changes. Your muscles are getting fuller and bigger. Your legs are getting fuller and bigger. So share with us: how do you handle the weight not really changing, but then being able to look at the pictures? It's not a weight thing. Your journey has been a lot of, hey, your composition is changing.

Lisa: Right. Before I even say that, I'll say that with you, every single week I'm accountable to you on Saturday mornings with my check-ins. That means my measurements, my pictures, my weight, body fat. And that's the first time ever that I've had to be accountable with all of that. It was usually just me looking in the mirror and getting on the scale. So that number was everything. That number on the scale was everything.

In the beginning with you, it was that way too, because that's just how my mind had been wired. I would really freak out if my weight didn't drop or if it went up half a pound, when I had been really good with my macros and my exercise. But then I had to sit back and say, I have to trust this process. I'm with Nikkiey for a reason. So I said, I'm not going to concentrate on the scale. I'm really going to focus on what I look like.

I take either my very first picture or one from a month previous, and I keep them, and I put them side by side every week. And the changes I see in my body, I'm like, well, that's weird. I'm the same weight, but why do I look so much different? Why is my waist changing? Why are my legs changing? My arms, everything is changing. My composition is changing.

Taking that leap of faith was the first time ever that I had done that, and it was a breakthrough point for me, to say that I use that number for Nikkiey. I give that number to Nikkiey and I let it go. If it goes up, it goes up. And I've learned that sometimes I'm on my period, so I may go up two or three pounds. Or things just may not be consistent with my body that week. I may not be eliminating properly. There's a ton of things. I could have had Chinese food and too much sodium. That scale is just not a rock-solid number. It fluctuates.

Nikkiey: Yeah.

Lisa: So understanding that it's not my go-to. How do I look? Looking at my measurements: if I put on a couple of pounds, where? Because my measurements didn't change one single bit and I'm looking better. So I had to start trusting that process, and that was a hard process for me to trust. But once I crossed that threshold, it all just released and clicked and made sense to me. And that's when I really started opening up, asking myself questions and exploring a little deeper.

Nikkiey: Yeah, that is so freaking powerful. It's detaching yourself from that number, and the way you can do that is by realizing the other variables that come into play, and by looking at your side-by-side photos and seeing, holy sugar muffins, your body composition is drastically changing while the number is barely moving. The pictures, which I'll have to somehow put into this interview, the pictures you recently shared with me, you can drastically see your quads are way bigger. Your arms are way bigger. The composition is changing, but your number is staying the same. So like you're saying, breaking through that threshold: it's a number for Nikkiey, and that's it. Babes, it's a number for your check-ins, and that's it. The value lies in your photos, how you're feeling and your measurements.

Lisa: And the one thing we didn't put into that is that I may be gaining a little bit of weight now, but we didn't touch on the fact that I think you've brought me up like five or six hundred calories a day and cut one of my cardio days. So my food went up, my exertion went down, and I'm still really holding there. I haven't had any major jumps. A couple of ounces, but nothing major.

Nikkiey: Yeah. That's another thing we could totally touch on. Your body was sitting at a caloric intake for long enough to get adapted. In order to shock that body, we brought you up those 600 calories and lowered your expenditure, but you can see that your body wanted that food, because you're not shifting. If anything, you're filling out even more.

Lisa: I got hungry that week. When you increased me, I got hungry. I wasn't hungry before, and then all of a sudden I was like, oh my gosh, Nikkiey, I'm hungry. I want more food.

Nikkiey: Yeah. The moral we're sharing with the women, so they can understand, is that food's not the enemy. The scale is not your go-to number. Your body composition is going to change. If your goal is to change your body composition, to get toned, to build muscle, that number is not reliable, and you need the food. You need the food in order to get there.

Lisa: Right. And I'm learning that. Every day I'm still learning. I'm so far away from knowing everything I need to know, but I'm so far removed from where I was.

Nikkiey: Yeah. So let's talk about that. How do you deal with the psychological side of eating more food in order to get to the kind of goals you've got in mind?

Hey, just want to drop a huge appreciation to you guys listening to the show. It means a lot. I hope you guys are enjoying it, and there's so much more to come. If you are enjoying it, hit the subscribe button. I'd appreciate that tons, and it would also help this podcast reach others who need to hear these messages too. Thanks so much, guys. Let's get back to the show.

Lisa: Now, I'm really positive about it. I embrace it now. I'm like, yes, give me more food.

Nikkiey: How about that initial moment, when you first started the VIP and you saw that carb number come through? What was your thought process?

Lisa: I was like, oh my God, is she kidding? I don't eat that many carbs in like three days. Is she kidding me? But then when I was planning out my meals, I was like, oh, I can have a bagel. I started getting excited.

Nikkiey: It's like the permission you needed to be able to eat the foods you enjoy.

Lisa: Right. And I was like, well, are you sure? I can have a bagel? And you're like, yeah. Okay. All right. I'm trusting you.

Nikkiey: Yeah.

Lisa: So the psychological part was really pretty easy for me. And I think it's because it came at a good time for me. I was ready for that increase. I was ready to shake things up.

Nikkiey: You were ready for any change. You were ready for that change, because you were doing so much of the same thing. You diet and you diet and you diet, low calories, low calories, low calories. And then you're like, okay, she wants me to eat. Okay.

Lisa: Right. And you get to that point, sorry, I don't mean to cut you off, but you get to that point where you're like, what else do I have to lose? I've been trying this whole way of doing things for so long. And that's usually where I would fall off, when I'd hit that point where I couldn't make it change anymore. The frustration would set in and I'd be like, forget it. I'm tired of trying. Why am I trying? But having you, we could talk about it.

Nikkiey: Talk about it.

Lisa: Because that's huge. I can talk to you every week and say, what's going on? Why is this happening? Let's try this, let's try that. It helps so much, because those are things I don't know.

The biggest pointer, the number one pointer: plan ahead. Plan your meals the day before. There are no excuses. You cannot wing it. If you're going to wing it, you will not meet your protein goals. You'll go over on your carbs and your fats, and you will not meet your protein goals. Or at the end of the day, you'll have some funky combination of crap that you're trying to put together because you have not planned properly, or you'll have to eat way too many calories.

I plan my day the night before, I don't care what's going on. It takes me less than five minutes to do my entire day. It's just a matter of getting used to it. And when you plan it that way, all six of my meals are spread out. They're proportioned properly. I've got my protein spread out. I've got my pre- and post-workout carbs where I need them to be. You cannot succeed long term, for your lifetime, with this if you do not plan ahead, period. If you don't plan your day ahead of time, it's not going to work.

Nikkiey: Amen. Mic drop. 100%. They hear me reiterate that over and over, so it's really nice having you come in and say, plan ahead. Now, talking about protein, you brought up a good point: you'll have some wacky combination with the protein numbers. I commonly hear that it's hard for women to hit their protein numbers. How do you hit your protein numbers?

Lisa: Easily. Because usually I'm like, Nikkiey, can I have more protein, please?

Nikkiey: I hear you. I hear you.

Lisa: This is not enough protein. I need more. So I have no problem. I don't have any suggestions on that, because like I said, I spread it out throughout the day and I have protein with every meal.

Nikkiey: What are the protein sources you go to?

Lisa: My go-tos are egg whites, lean ground beef, chicken and fish. Those are usually my main ones. And then with my pre- and post-workout, I'll have a protein shake, usually an isolate whey for my post-workout shake. Egg whites are great because they just fill that protein source.

Nikkiey: It's stacked with protein, and especially lean meats as well. It's just stacked with protein.

Lisa: Yep.

Nikkiey: Do you prep? How do you go about your meal prep?

Lisa: Usually on Sundays, or sometimes midway through the week I'll refresh everything. I make my big tub of ground beef, my container of chicken. I steam my broccoli or whatever my vegetable is for that week. Whatever my meats are, everything is already in a big Tupperware in there, and my whole family eats off of that. That's why I'll usually do it twice a week. My husband doesn't come in and say, what's for dinner? Because he knows: whatever's in there. There's rice. I cook a big batch of jasmine rice, and we'll have that in there with some new potatoes. So when I open the refrigerator, there's always a carb choice and there's always a protein choice. And then there's either avocado for the fats, or I've got olive oil or coconut oil, whatever we have for the fats. It's easy. It really is.

Nikkiey: Yes. The number one pointer for protein is just bulk it. Cook it, put it in a tub, put it in the fridge, and you know it's there. You just pull it out and put it in a Tupperware. If you're on the run, grab and go. There are no excuses like, well, I had an unexpected this, I had an unexpected that, I had to run out, I wasn't expecting it. No, because all you do is throw your food into a Tupperware very quickly. It takes you two minutes, and your food is there for you.

Lisa: I keep a to-go bag. It's always got emergency things in there. It's got my go-to rice cakes. Got to have rice cakes. It's got packets of peanut butter or almond butter. I've got a couple of packs of beef jerky. I've got some protein bars. That is an emergency go-to bag.

Nikkiey: Yeah.

Lisa: Because sometimes I'm out and I think I'm coming home, and then something happens and I'm going to miss that three-hour window. And by this point, being in the program almost nine months, that means I'm going to have to change the macros. But because my day is already set and I'm so used to doing my macros, all I have to do is go in and adjust. Do I need to reduce my fats in this meal? Do I need to increase my protein? It's easy at that point, because everything is already in there and I'm just recalculating and tweaking a few things.

Nikkiey: A hundred percent. So this is a really good question. Being that you are so advanced with the macro side of things now, what got you to that point?

Lisa: I did not like being hungry, and I would always screw up. I was not prepared enough in the beginning. After talking with you, and you said to get it planned ahead of time, and doing that, being able to go to the refrigerator and know that it was there and I could just grab it... poor planning was the reason I saw why having everything set was so important. Because when I poor plan, I poor eat. I know that's not really a proper sentence, but.

Nikkiey: No, you said it point blank. You poor plan, you poor eat.

Lisa: Yeah, really.

Nikkiey: It's really as simple as that. And if you're not eating properly, nothing else is going to go right. You're not going to feel like doing your workouts, and it's going to throw you off psychologically that you already screwed up your day. So why do I need to work out? I'll start tomorrow.

Lisa: Which is another psychological game we play. That's why we always wait until Monday to start a diet.

Nikkiey: Exactly. So touching on the psychological side, your mindset shift has been so amazing throughout your entire journey here as a WarriorBabe. What do you think is the biggest mental shift you've personally made for yourself and your fitness journey?

Lisa: Oh, I've had a few. My biggest mental shift would really have to be letting go of the number. That's my biggest one. That's huge for me. Just letting the scale go, and realizing that it's about getting me to where I want to be, but also being able to stay there, and that scale number was not going to do that for me. Being able to accept that maybe I don't really know what my true proper weight should be. Maybe I need to let my body tell me that, and work with my body instead of working against my body. So just getting rid of that number in my head: 135 is not my weight.

Nikkiey: No, girl, you've got muscle on you now. If you're going to do a comp, maybe we'll push it down there, but only if that's necessary. But yeah, it's just about getting to your goals, whatever point that is.

Lisa: So you get to your goals, and that's what weight you are. Because you could be like, we joke about it on the calls, Pam wants to be 170 and packed with muscle, and somebody who is 5'2 would have completely different numbers. Everybody's completely different. Just focus on your goals, and wherever your goal is, that's your weight.

Nikkiey: Yep. It's huge. Absolutely. So for somebody who's just starting their journey, besides planning ahead, and poor planning equals poor eating, what advice would you give if you were sitting face to face with somebody just starting their journey and they asked you, okay, how have you been so successful? What advice would you give them when they're just starting their fitness journey?

Lisa: Well, the first thing would be that you really have to be honest with yourself. You have to understand some of the things that have maybe gotten you to where you are. That's kind of a tough one, because in the beginning sometimes you don't recognize it. I know with me, that probably wouldn't have resonated, because I wouldn't have recognized that about myself yet. I thought I knew what I was doing wrong or doing right. So that one's tough for me.

But I think really being honest, especially as somebody starting off with you, being honest with you. I know a lot of people think they can not be honest, like, I hit my macros, or I was really good. And that's only robbing them, because you're here to help them. You're not here to criticize them. That's why I'll tell you if I've screwed up, like I had a really bad week and I just screwed up. Because then you understand that my numbers went up, but there was a reason for it. It's not because my macros weren't at the right spot. It's because I ate more macros than I should have, or maybe I ate less than I was supposed to, and I didn't get my water in, and my body's got inflammation. I've got a lot of things going on. So just being really open and honest.

I can't talk about anybody on any other fitness journey, but with you, just being honest with you, because we have a lot of things going on. I have a lot of stuff that causes inflammation in my body, and I let you know that stuff because it makes sense to you. Or being at the age where I'm going to start being menopausal or postmenopausal. Those are things we have to understand about our bodies.

So I guess for a newbie, you have to understand that maybe everything you've always been told is not the truth, and it's not correct, and it's not right for you. If you're coming into this program, you need to learn how to trust the process. You need to understand that you're probably going to be eating more than you're used to. You're probably going to be doing less cardio than you're used to. But each one of us is different, and you and your team are great, and you figure things out to get us where we need to be.

Nikkiey: Yeah. I completely agree, and I appreciate everything you said, but the honesty is probably the most important thing. And that's why you and I hit it off from the start, because you were open and honest. If you went over on macros or something like that at the beginning, you'd say, Nikkiey, I did this. When you went away on vacation, you were open and honest.

Talking about the honesty game, a lot of people think they can get away with it, like you're saying: yeah, I hit my macros this week. And if you actually didn't, then I'm tossing it around in my brain, like, well, why the fuck haven't the numbers moved? Why hasn't anything shifted? That can make the whole situation even worse. If I need to shift numbers and you're actually not eating it, and I cut you down lower, your metabolism can crash if I end up doing that.

So it's not only honesty on that end, but also honesty and responsibility for where you're at at the start of your journey coming into it, so that you know everything you've done will probably need to be fixed. Now there's going to be a different outlook moving forward. Like you said, you're going to be eating more food. It's the whole mental shift of responsibility and honesty when you first start off with something.

Lisa: A hundred percent.

Nikkiey: That's great. Great advice. Love it. So what would you say being a WarriorBabe means to you?

Lisa: This one I actually wrote down, because I knew I wanted to say it right.

Nikkiey: Yes.

Lisa: You know me and my squirrel mind. But I said: WarriorBabe is a total and complete mindset shift. It is a physical, mental and emotional shift to become the very best person that I can be. It has challenged me daily, weekly and monthly to dig in deep and hard and find the strength that I need to change my body and my mindset.

Nikkiey: Wow. You're giving me chills. That's awesome. And you have legitimately lived the experience you just shared. You came in and created an insane shift, not just with your body, but like I said in the beginning, your mindset has totally shifted. One of the biggest things I keep replaying in my head, because I know it's going to help so many women, is when you shared that you've done decades of abuse to your body with the different programs you've tried, and now you're realizing that you have decades moving forward to actually do it the right way.

Lisa: Right. Yeah, absolutely. And like I shared on one of the calls too, I know we always talk about the journey, and I've kind of removed myself from that word, because to me the journey somehow has an ending to it. People talk about the race, and I'm like, well, those definitely end. So for me, I've tried to transition that to the lifestyle I have moved into, the proper lifestyle for me, and this is here to stay. It's not that I'm going to get to a certain point and then be like, okay, I'm here. It's just constant. It's going to be my lifestyle: eating my macros properly, exercising properly. And that's important for me.

Nikkiey: You're going to live until you're 120.

Lisa: I hope not. I don't have enough money to do that.

Nikkiey: Awesome, Lisa. Well, let's close it out by giving the babes your favorite snack or favorite macro combo that you enjoy eating on a daily basis.

Lisa: Okay, you're going to laugh. My favorite snack that I love is a piece of Ezekiel bread toasted with Biscoff cookie butter on it. My daughter got me turned on to that. I fit it into my whole day. I put that in first before I do anything else.

Nikkiey: Where did you get this Biscoff cookie butter?

Lisa: At the grocery store, in the peanut butter aisle. It's the best tasting. And get the crunchy, because the crunchy has the cookie bits in it instead of nuts. It has the crunched-up cookie. It's so good.

Nikkiey: Oh my God, that sounds incredible. A brand?

Lisa: And the good thing with it is, on some days when I've run out of protein but I still need carbs and fat, that's got the carbs and fat and hardly any protein. So that works well.

Nikkiey: Perfect. That sounds amazing. I'm going to go to the grocery store now and buy some. What brand is it?

Lisa: I think it's actually just Biscoff. It's from the cookies, you know, the cookies they give you on the airplane. Just really good cookies. I think it's just Biscoff. I'll send you a picture of it.

Nikkiey: Okay. All right. And what would you say is your favorite muscle group to work out?

Lisa: Shoulders.

Nikkiey: Nice. I knew you were going to say that. Yes, show those shoulders off.

Lisa: Yeah. They're feeling a little weak today, but that's only because of your workout.
