Just finished RWF26 and yes, girls do obsess about the scale, but I have grown out of that. If my clothes fit me comfortably, I’m good. I also try to eat small meals, with everything in moderation. One of the best things I ever did was to take voice lessons in college, where I learned abdominal breathing, which is now how I breathe, as opposed to chest breathing. I also learned glute tightening. I use these skills to the max when singing at church. I need to concentrate more on glutes in my everyday life. Thanks for the informative show!
