0:00
Welcome to the Clydesdale
0:01
Media Weight Loss Journey,
0:04
where Scott does his weekly
0:05
check-in with nutrition
0:07
coach Cheryl Masso every
0:09
week live on our YouTube channel.
0:15
Make sure you like and
0:16
subscribe and hit that
0:17
notifier so you first know
0:19
when new episodes come out.
0:22
Sit back, relax, enjoy the show.
0:30
What's going on, everybody?
0:32
Welcome to the Clydesdale
0:34
Media Weight Loss Journey.
0:36
So I don't know if you know this,
0:39
but Twitter now,
0:41
for us to go live on Twitter or X,
0:44
you have to pay a subscription fee.
0:47
So I had it set up where it
0:49
was doing that for a while.
0:50
And all the shows that I had
0:51
set up prior to this notice,
0:53
now I get this big error
0:55
message whenever we launch.
0:57
And I have to remove us from
0:59
Twitter before we actually
1:01
can start talking.
1:02
So there's a little scramble
1:03
mode behind the scenes there.
1:05
I don't even use Twitter.
1:07
I never got into it.
1:08
I don't know.
1:11
I'm kind of... I'll never
1:14
remember to call it X. But I...
1:18
I use it during football
1:19
season because it is the
1:22
fastest way to get news about your team.
1:24
Yeah.
1:26
Yeah.
1:26
It's funny.
1:27
What's up, Corey?
1:29
I, uh,
1:29
I actually hopped on the EMOM train.
1:33
I've actually, I know this is,
1:35
I know we're doing your Clydesdale media,
1:37
but I gotta tell you, um, I hopped on,
1:40
I did a deal a week and I
1:41
knew I was looking for,
1:42
I know this is Scott's journey,
1:44
but you know,
1:44
coach Cheryl here needs a
1:45
little love too.
1:47
Um,
1:47
I had just been off of following a
1:49
program for a long time.
1:50
I had just been back and
1:51
forth and between injuries
1:54
and just not feeling good
1:55
and kind of being in my own pity party.
1:58
had just been doing kind of
1:59
like bits and pieces of
2:00
things and doing my own programming.
2:02
And I just had actually one
2:05
of my clients who, you know,
2:06
she's a semi-final athlete.
2:09
I was like,
2:11
you should check out this program.
2:12
And I was kind of like, oh,
2:14
maybe I'll check it out, you know,
2:15
and I had a free trial.
2:16
So I was like, well,
2:18
what's the worst that could happen?
2:19
You get fitter.
2:20
And
2:20
I started following it.
2:21
So it's been nice to have some people.
2:24
When I saw Corey on there, I was like, yes,
2:26
I love it.
2:28
So yeah, it's been,
2:29
it's been good to slowly
2:30
get back into the grind of
2:31
things and very humbling.
2:34
I'm happy that I've been
2:35
able to do a lot of the workouts,
2:37
but damn, some days I'm like,
2:39
I can't believe how unfit I got myself.
2:41
So, but it's been, it's been fun for sure.
2:45
Getting back into it.
2:47
Cheryl is effing killing it.
2:49
Well, thanks, Corey.
2:51
Yesterday, I think it was killing me.
2:54
When you have an EMOM with
2:56
10 squat cleans at 95, 135,
3:00
sandwiched in between other things,
3:02
and you're on an EMOM,
3:05
singles aren't really fun
3:07
because then you don't get any rest.
3:08
And holding onto the barbell
3:09
isn't any fun either.
3:11
But yeah, it's been fun stuff for sure.
3:14
So anywho, that's my little update.
3:17
You said this is my journey,
3:19
but this is one of the
3:19
reasons we're doing this show.
3:21
It's been a couple of weeks
3:22
since we've been on.
3:23
You've had so much going on in your life.
3:26
I've had so much going on in my life.
3:29
It's just complete chaos.
3:31
And we're going to talk
3:31
about that in a minute.
3:33
Yeah.
3:33
One of the things that you and I,
3:35
we met last week and had a
3:36
very long heart to heart
3:39
and talked about a lot of things.
3:42
And we made the decision
3:44
that we want to revamp the show.
3:46
Yeah.
3:48
Um, and we want it,
3:50
we want it to be more than
3:51
just about me or you,
3:53
but we want it to be about the community.
3:56
And so we want to like come
3:57
up with different ways to
3:58
be more interactive,
4:00
like maybe have a weekly
4:02
workout challenge where
4:03
everybody can share video
4:05
from their workouts or have
4:08
people on from the chat on
4:10
the show to talk about their journey.
4:13
Um,
4:14
And it doesn't mean we're
4:15
going to get away from like
4:16
updating you on how I'm
4:17
doing and things like that.
4:19
But we don't want that to be
4:20
the sole focus anymore.
4:21
We want it to be a community
4:24
program that involves everybody.
4:30
And so we have made the
4:32
decision that after today's show,
4:33
we're going to take a
4:34
couple of weeks off till
4:35
after the CrossFit games.
4:37
And then we're going to come back,
4:38
rebranded new name, same people,
4:42
but hopefully like more
4:44
community involvement.
4:45
Yeah.
4:46
And I kind of like want to add onto this.
4:47
Cause even as I was saying that deflection,
4:50
right.
4:50
Of,
4:51
I didn't want to talk about me because
4:52
it's a Scott's journey story.
4:54
I don't want that anymore
4:55
because guess what?
4:57
I struggle too.
4:58
And I,
4:59
I'm sure that a lot of you
5:00
guys can relate to feeling
5:02
if you've been doing
5:03
CrossFit for a long time, Scott,
5:04
I know you have.
5:05
In fact,
5:05
I heard you talk about how you're
5:07
no longer the 2016 Scott.
5:09
We all experience things in
5:11
our own journeys that can make
5:14
staying consistent and
5:15
staying happy about the
5:16
process feel like such a struggle.
5:19
And I think that what I want
5:22
you guys to get from
5:23
Scott's story from day one,
5:25
and what I want to be able
5:26
to help you guys with here
5:28
is helping to remind you
5:30
guys that you're not alone
5:31
and also being able to
5:33
relate to you guys.
5:34
I mean, yeah,
5:36
I've been doing CrossFit
5:37
since 2010 and I still program hop.
5:40
Like that's a bad habit, right?
5:41
So I'm like, damn,
5:42
I'm following a program again.
5:44
You guys know how that feels.
5:46
And I want to be able to
5:47
offer you guys that as well.
5:49
And I think that it'll be
5:51
cool for us to maybe pop up
5:53
some like Q and A's on the
5:54
Clydesdale stories.
5:56
And maybe every week we can
5:57
answer some listener
5:58
questions related to my
6:00
thoughts are making this
6:02
podcast really about
6:03
helping you guys improve
6:04
your own fitness journey.
6:06
whether it's with CrossFit stuff,
6:08
coaching stuff,
6:09
whether it's with life stuff,
6:11
whether it's with mostly nutrition stuff.
6:14
So guys,
6:15
one of my biggest things that I'm
6:16
passionate about is
6:17
teaching the CrossFit
6:18
community how to fuel
6:20
themselves appropriately to
6:23
get leaner, get fitter, get healthier.
6:25
Like that's really what I
6:26
want for everybody.
6:27
So this show has just been a
6:29
great platform and Scott
6:30
can be a great example for
6:31
a lot of people out there
6:33
who do struggle because I
6:36
don't struggle with the
6:37
same things that Scott struggles with.
6:39
And his story is going to
6:40
resonate with other people.
6:41
So that's my input as well.
6:43
The other thing we want to
6:44
do is keep the fun part of the show.
6:48
Even though it's going to
6:50
have more of a plan and more of a focus,
6:53
we still want to have those
6:54
fun questions like,
6:56
what's that fun food you like to have?
6:59
Why does gum help you when you're dieting?
7:02
What tricks do you use instead of gum?
7:05
All those things we dive off to,
7:07
and so we want to keep all
7:09
that as part of the fun process.
7:11
thing of the show and,
7:12
and keep you guys involved as a community,
7:15
sharing all of those fun
7:17
and funny aspects of what you go through.
7:20
Yeah.
7:21
Because I mean,
7:22
like some of the most fun episodes for me,
7:25
I don't know if you can relate is when,
7:27
when you guys are in the
7:27
chat talking about things
7:29
that are like completely
7:30
off the wall and it like
7:32
totally brings us off topic,
7:33
but into something else and
7:35
it can be super fun.
7:35
So yeah.
7:37
By the way, talking about nutrition,
7:39
fitness-related crazy stuff,
7:41
did you all see that
7:42
Richard Simmons died?
7:43
I did.
7:45
That's a perfect example of
7:46
a topic that we could talk about.
7:49
I mean,
7:49
that was my first introduction to
7:50
fitness was watching my mom
7:52
sweating to the oldies in
7:52
the freaking VHS tape in the living room.
7:57
My wife had disco sweat,
7:59
had sweating to the oldies.
8:01
She had all of them.
8:01
Sweating to the oldies.
8:02
That's what I remember my mom.
8:04
It's just crazy, but a little tangent.
8:06
So anyways,
8:08
I love that we're talking about this.
8:10
And if you guys have any,
8:13
maybe some suggestions on
8:15
what we could name this,
8:16
I like using the Clydesdale
8:19
and I just like it to just,
8:20
Clydesdale weight loss
8:21
journey just sounds good.
8:23
Y'all got suggestions.
8:24
You want to put some thoughts up.
8:25
Maybe I'll send out some.
8:27
It's not just a weight loss
8:28
journey anymore.
8:28
It's about fitness.
8:29
It's about fun.
8:30
It's about like,
8:32
we want to incorporate all that into it.
8:34
Yeah.
8:34
Keep Clydesdale in there.
8:37
But we want to add like what
8:40
it's all about.
8:41
I even want to talk about
8:42
like the stuff that people
8:43
don't talk about.
8:45
Like the stuff that happens at the gym,
8:47
right?
8:47
Like the random person that
8:48
like has so much chalk on
8:50
their hands for burpees.
8:52
I just want to make this
8:53
podcast episode one that
8:56
you guys that go to a
8:57
CrossFit gym and you want
8:59
to have some people to talk
9:00
to about all the things you
9:01
experience and your husband
9:03
or your wife sit at the
9:04
dinner table is like,
9:05
care about your thrusters
9:08
and then look at you like
9:09
you have three heads you
9:10
guys have a place to come
9:11
on and chat about it so
9:13
judy reed says r.i.p
9:15
richard I was a big galad
9:16
fan anyone remember him I
9:19
remember him I i have to be
9:22
on judy this is
9:24
transparency here I could
9:26
not wait till galad was
9:27
over I could see cory
9:30
everson's workout I didn't
9:32
galad was after richard
9:34
simmons though right
9:36
So ESPN back in the day used
9:38
to have like a workout
9:40
block around lunchtime.
9:42
Yeah.
9:42
Gilad was a half an hour.
9:44
Denise Austin was a half an hour.
9:46
And then Corey Everson.
9:48
Okay.
9:49
Oh, my goodness.
9:50
Corey Everson.
9:51
Yeah.
9:52
She was my crush when I was a young boy.
9:57
Yeah.
9:57
See, my mom just had the VHS tape,
9:59
so I didn't watch it on ESPN.
10:01
It was just, it was mom's workout time.
10:03
So she'd put in the tape and
10:05
then she would sometimes
10:06
try and get me to do it.
10:07
Like,
10:07
I guess I needed to sweat to the
10:08
oldies too.
10:09
And she had buns of steel.
10:10
That was the other one she had.
10:12
Those were the two that she had.
10:15
One of the topics could be your,
10:16
your early exercise
10:18
influence like Jane Fonda,
10:20
Richard Simmons.
10:21
Well, okay.
10:22
So talking about my journey,
10:25
how did I get into fitness?
10:27
I was literally up one night
10:30
eating too much food,
10:31
drinking too much alcohol
10:34
and was flipping through the television.
10:37
And, you know,
10:38
between the hours of like 11
10:40
and three o'clock in the morning,
10:41
four o'clock in the morning,
10:42
it was nothing but infomercials.
10:45
I found a beach body,
10:46
which had like two programs at the time.
10:49
I found a beach body program and I'm like,
10:51
you know what?
10:53
time to do something.
10:54
I literally bought off of an infomercial.
10:56
That's how I got into fitness.
10:57
So I bought Beachbody too,
10:59
before I started CrossFit like 08, 09.
11:02
Yeah.
11:04
I got the Beachbody and it was hard.
11:07
Mine was earlier than that.
11:08
I was 2004.
11:08
I'm older than you.
11:10
I'm older than you in the Beachbody world.
11:13
Like I said, back then,
11:14
I think Beachbody had,
11:16
they had Debbie Sieber slim and six,
11:18
which is what I got.
11:20
They had P90.
11:20
I don't even think they had P90X yet.
11:23
And I think they had like
11:24
one other program and that was it.
11:26
Tony Horton was P90X,
11:28
which has been mentioned as well.
11:30
And Tony Horton did the
11:30
original Beachbody and
11:31
that's the one I ordered.
11:33
That's yeah.
11:34
He was like one of the OGs,
11:35
but Billy Blanks, I remember him too.
11:37
You guys remember Zumba was another one.
11:40
See, this is the stuff that like,
11:42
we just got to, we just,
11:43
we got it rolling already.
11:45
Everyone in that show.
11:46
Imagine if there was a
11:47
CrossFit like workout show.
11:51
Yeah.
11:51
I mean, I guess,
11:52
I think StreamYard kind of
11:53
tried to do that.
11:55
They kind of like tried to make like a,
11:57
you know, like a virtual, I don't know.
12:00
Could you just imagine like the,
12:01
could you just imagine like
12:04
mimicking your CrossFit coach doing Fran?
12:09
Like trying to keep up,
12:10
like it would be so
12:11
different because like back then,
12:13
or like when you're watching the videos,
12:15
like,
12:15
like they're going at a
12:16
tempo and you're trying to
12:18
keep up with them.
12:18
They're like down and up.
12:20
Imagine like trying to keep
12:21
up with one of your coaches
12:23
doing like a workout and you're like,
12:25
it'd be totally different stimulus,
12:27
but just something that we
12:28
want to do similar things.
12:29
We want to have like a
12:30
workout of the week that
12:31
everybody can tackle.
12:33
It's something basic that
12:35
you can do in your garage and,
12:37
and that we can talk about from,
12:39
we can make that the Monday
12:40
workout that we've been
12:41
talking about with you.
12:42
So we'll make that like the,
12:43
the one you sent me
12:44
yesterday was so easy.
12:46
Are you kidding me?
12:48
Right?
12:50
Send me one.
12:51
I did.
12:52
I never got it.
12:54
You didn't get it in,
12:54
in the trainer eyes app.
12:56
I did not.
12:57
I have to double check on
12:58
that in your app because I
13:00
know I sent it last week after we talked.
13:01
I remember I was typing it
13:03
in as I was doing my walk.
13:07
But yeah, it was bike and sandbag squats.
13:12
I'll double check.
13:13
I was busy because I went to
13:15
Michigan this weekend.
13:16
Okay.
13:18
And that was a workout alone, deep,
13:20
deep sand,
13:22
trudging back and forth from lane to lane,
13:24
trying to video.
13:25
Oh my goodness.
13:26
My legs hurt so bad yesterday.
13:28
Yeah.
13:28
So let's kind of, I guess,
13:29
roll into a little bit of you.
13:31
So fill us in.
13:33
Oh, Jack.
13:33
Denise Moore.
13:34
I used to watch Jack LaLanne.
13:35
That's how old I am.
13:37
I just, he was the juicer guy, right?
13:39
Well, before that he was an exercise guy.
13:42
I know that,
13:42
but I just know him as the guy
13:44
that was super healthy and it was like,
13:46
oh, the juicing.
13:46
It must be the juicing.
13:49
So where were you this weekend?
13:51
You were at the Fresh Coast,
13:52
something like that?
13:53
Fresh Coast Fit Fest.
13:55
It's on Lake Michigan in Michigan.
13:58
And it's a big festival
14:02
that's a CrossFit competition.
14:04
And it's growing so big
14:06
because it's right around
14:08
where Rich grew up.
14:10
So now Rich competes in it every year.
14:13
and he brought, um, Ben Davidson and, uh,
14:17
Dre strong and Dan Bailey
14:19
with him this year.
14:20
Plus some friends, cousins, uh,
14:22
Darren Hunsaker was there, uh,
14:25
eighth day CrossFit who
14:26
puts teams in the games all the time,
14:29
huge presence there.
14:30
They're just down the road
14:30
in grand Rapids.
14:33
So major competition.
14:34
And it's just beautiful.
14:36
It's a huge Sandy, um,
14:42
the rig is in the sand.
14:44
The whole competition is in
14:45
the sand until you swim.
14:47
I think I remember watching
14:48
like footage from them from last year,
14:51
rich, like on the YouTube channel.
14:53
I remember like them, like with the bikes,
14:55
they had like little like
14:56
black mats on the sand and
14:58
all that kinds of stuff.
14:59
So that sounds really awesome.
15:01
So they snatched on the sand
15:03
this year on a piece of
15:04
plywood on the sand.
15:06
Yeah.
15:07
It's a little sketch sketch.
15:08
So yeah,
15:09
So they had rooms for
15:10
everybody beside every,
15:11
so you could sweep real
15:12
quick if you needed to.
15:14
Yeah.
15:14
Um, but yeah, it was a little sketch,
15:17
but yeah, that's, that's,
15:19
that's the stuff that I don't like doing.
15:21
I, where it gets like dangerous like that,
15:24
I get kind of like risk
15:26
versus reward as long as
15:27
they weren't super heavy, I guess,
15:29
you know?
15:30
So it was a ladder.
15:31
So you could go as far as
15:32
you wanted to go.
15:33
Yeah.
15:33
Okay.
15:35
The first event was actually
15:37
the beach workout from the
15:38
Games in 2014 team where
15:42
they had the raft.
15:43
Oh, yeah.
15:44
The raft out around the buoys.
15:46
Yeah.
15:46
That was the first event.
15:48
It's funny that I say that
15:49
the whole sand thing,
15:50
my very first regionals was, uh,
15:52
in Jacksonville equestrian center.
15:55
And it was so bad.
15:57
It was sand.
15:59
And we had like,
16:00
just like little black platforms.
16:02
And I remember that was the
16:03
year that we had, um,
16:04
it was a squat clean and
16:05
thruster ladder and the
16:07
standards on it were so strict.
16:09
Like if you moved your foot,
16:10
it like wouldn't count, but like,
16:13
it was so uneven.
16:14
So I just craziness, but
16:17
Anyways, well, I feel like, I mean,
16:19
I wouldn't have known you
16:20
were away because I looked
16:21
in your nutrition and it
16:23
looks like you logged this weekend,
16:26
which typically when you're out of town,
16:28
it's usually a little bit
16:29
more difficult for you.
16:30
So boom, that's a win.
16:32
Cause I know after our talk on Thursday,
16:34
you were like,
16:34
I need to just get back in a saddle.
16:36
So I'm proud of you.
16:38
I logged the entire trip.
16:40
Yeah.
16:41
It looks like you kept it pretty simple.
16:43
Did you pack your food?
16:45
I didn't.
16:46
Oh.
16:47
I did pack some,
16:48
but like dinners were out.
16:50
Yeah.
16:51
Because that's why I was like,
16:52
it looks like it was pretty basic.
16:54
Just breakfast, lunch,
16:55
dinner for the most part.
16:57
That's pretty much what it was.
16:59
And then when did you get back home?
17:00
Sunday night?
17:02
Sunday at two.
17:03
Okay.
17:04
I gotcha.
17:05
Awesome.
17:05
And what I did...
17:08
I actually,
17:08
we had chicken and zucchini on
17:10
Thursday before we left and
17:13
I made an extra serving for each of us.
17:17
So when we got back Sunday,
17:18
it was waiting and just
17:19
needed to heat it up.
17:20
And that was, that's, I love doing that.
17:22
That's the easiest thing for me.
17:23
In fact,
17:24
I put out in my Facebook group last week,
17:27
a new recipe.
17:28
It came out really good.
17:29
If you like Alfredo,
17:31
it's a high protein chicken Alfredo,
17:33
but it also freezes very well.
17:35
And it's one of those things
17:36
that you can make in a
17:37
batch and then like
17:38
put a couple in the freezer
17:40
and you know it's good so
17:42
but um I am all into fresh
17:44
vegetables right now we
17:46
actually have some here in
17:47
ohio so like if you notice
17:49
like I'm eating a lot of
17:50
tomatoes a lot of zucchini
17:52
a lot of carrots yeah
17:54
because it's all fresh yeah
17:57
it's so funny that you say
17:58
that because I feel like I
17:59
can get vegetables whenever
18:01
well that's because you live in florida
18:03
Is it really hard?
18:04
I just, I, it's crazy.
18:05
I don't, it's bizarre to me.
18:07
Like,
18:07
I guess that there is places in the world,
18:09
I guess it depends.
18:10
I will like,
18:11
so I have a client that lives
18:12
in like the middle of nowhere.
18:14
And sometimes she's like,
18:15
it's really hard to get
18:16
good food here because like, it's,
18:19
she's got like two very
18:20
like low end grocery stores.
18:22
So if she wants to go somewhere,
18:23
she has to drive like 40 minutes.
18:24
And like the closest one is
18:25
like a Walmart.
18:27
which we all know that
18:28
getting produce from
18:29
Walmart is like you might
18:30
as well be buying produce
18:31
from last year's Christmas.
18:35
So it's hard.
18:37
So I guess I don't think about it.
18:40
I think it's the whole seasonal thing.
18:43
I always tried to get into that,
18:45
but I never really could.
18:46
Florida has two growing seasons.
18:49
I live there.
18:50
We have one growing season.
18:52
Yeah.
18:53
I just feel like people talk
18:54
about it's good to eat seasonally,
18:57
but I'll be honest, I don't do that.
18:59
I probably could,
19:00
but I get kind of in ruts.
19:02
I like other vegetables like
19:05
eggplant and stuff like that,
19:06
but I just don't change what I eat.
19:08
I like to just keep it simple.
19:10
Maybe I should expand a little bit more.
19:13
I think in the North that,
19:14
and that may be like a
19:15
topic we could talk about in North.
19:18
You have to change because
19:19
things just aren't available.
19:20
Some, some parts of the year.
19:23
Well,
19:23
there's a lot of down here and a lot
19:25
of like farmers and they do
19:27
have farmers markets and
19:28
that's going to be what seasonal,
19:30
but I just go to Publix and, you know,
19:33
get my normal routine veggies.
19:36
So I'm kind of stuck in my broccoli,
19:38
asparagus, zucchini, and cauliflower.
19:41
Those are kind of like my four staples.
19:43
Yeah, there's times I can't get zucchini.
19:46
Yeah, I would say yes.
19:47
There's times down here too
19:48
where I'll go to buy it and
19:51
I'm like very picky about zucchini.
19:53
This is like, this is going to be maybe,
19:56
can you relate to this?
19:57
Zucchini,
19:58
I don't like the big ones when
20:00
there's all the seeds in them.
20:02
It's got to be the smaller
20:03
zucchini where there's not
20:04
a lot of seeds because
20:04
there's too many seeds.
20:05
I feel like the texture of it,
20:08
when you cook it, it gets mushy.
20:10
So won't eat it.
20:11
I'm like very picky about that.
20:17
so yeah Heidi I can get
20:19
frozen vegetables I just
20:20
prefer having fresh and I
20:21
would rather have whatever
20:22
is fresh frozen alternative
20:26
and I also feel like
20:27
there's only certain
20:28
vegetables that are okay to
20:29
eat frozen like like I
20:31
won't eat frozen zucchini
20:33
there's just no it's like
20:34
it's like mushy, but like I'll do frozen,
20:37
frozen broccoli.
20:38
I'll do the cauliflower rice.
20:40
Like I don't like frozen Brussels sprouts.
20:43
I just, they just don't taste the same.
20:45
I don't know.
20:45
There's just something that
20:47
just don't taste good frozen,
20:48
but I always have a stash
20:50
of frozen veggies in.
20:51
So, but yeah, I was, I was super.
20:54
So am I Corey.
20:55
So am I, I am bougie as hell.
20:58
yeah I i would agree it's
21:00
better to pay pay more for
21:01
the better stuff so like I
21:03
said I'm I'm very happy
21:04
with uh with you tracking
21:07
getting back on track with
21:08
things with that and I
21:09
think that like right now
21:10
our main focus um I kind of
21:13
want to like talk about
21:14
like what my I feel like my
21:16
goals for you are right now
21:17
is I think we talk a lot
21:19
about tracking food
21:20
tracking food tracking food
21:21
like why are we tracking
21:23
food obviously it's because
21:25
Well,
21:25
we want to know what's going in so we
21:27
can obviously make changes
21:28
and adjustments.
21:29
But I think instead,
21:31
let's focus on the health
21:32
perspective and the
21:33
perspective of like what
21:34
we're trying to change is
21:36
you're obviously we're
21:37
trying to lose fat.
21:38
We're trying to improve blood biomarkers,
21:40
but we're also looking at
21:41
like optimizing how you're feeling.
21:43
So and I think this is where
21:44
people go into the problem
21:46
when they go into macros or
21:47
tracking is like, oh,
21:49
I was under my calories, so I did good.
21:51
I think I want you actually
21:52
working on not just tracking your food,
21:54
but actually having a plan
21:55
to be within your nutrient ranges.
21:57
And we've talked about this before,
21:59
that I don't think that
22:01
your nutrition ranges ever
22:03
need to be spot on.
22:05
I talk about this today on my own podcast.
22:06
It's like,
22:07
when I say Scott's goal is 225
22:09
grams of protein or whatever it is,
22:12
it doesn't mean that he has
22:13
to be 225 grams of protein
22:15
every single day.
22:16
It means, hey,
22:17
If you're at around 185 to 225,
22:20
you're in a good range.
22:21
I'm happy with that.
22:21
Like a minimum and a maximum.
22:23
And I think that just
22:24
getting you for the next
22:25
couple of weeks leading up to the games,
22:27
just really focusing on
22:29
balance that way without any pressure.
22:32
And your goals right now
22:33
just being action driven is
22:36
where we can really make a
22:37
lot of progress to get that
22:39
consistency building.
22:40
Because now tracking isn't
22:41
really tracking food.
22:42
It's planning food.
22:45
I like that idea.
22:46
And I think that that's a
22:47
tip for anybody out there.
22:49
And I can relate to this myself.
22:51
When I first started
22:52
tracking my own food back in the day,
22:55
and well, I had taken it back.
22:57
I was a calorie counter when
22:58
I was very young.
23:00
And then when I got into
23:00
using a tracking app,
23:02
I was a lazy tracker.
23:04
I was the girl that would
23:05
track maybe part of my day.
23:07
I wouldn't weigh all of my portions.
23:09
I'd weigh my meat out.
23:10
I wouldn't weigh the other things.
23:12
And I would see like blank
23:13
spots everywhere.
23:15
When I actually started to
23:16
track and look at those
23:18
numbers and nutrition nutrients,
23:21
I really started to feel so much better.
23:23
But I also was able to
23:25
improve my relationship
23:27
with food because prior to that,
23:29
I was just like you, Scott.
23:30
And I was like told everything.
23:32
Like, carbs are the devil.
23:33
Like, don't eat grains.
23:35
Don't eat those foods.
23:36
They're bad for you.
23:37
And in doing that,
23:39
I would go through periods
23:40
where I would be super strict on my diet.
23:42
And then I would tell myself, oh,
23:44
I'm going to eat a little
23:44
bit of this and that.
23:45
And then I would feel like
23:46
crap about myself.
23:47
So...
23:48
I actually stopped having
23:50
cravings and I was able to
23:53
start to feel better, look better,
23:55
perform better and all
23:56
those things by focusing on that.
23:58
So, um, so yeah,
24:00
I think that we can work on
24:01
planning that in and making
24:02
that planning things in and
24:04
making that part of
24:05
what our focus point is
24:07
going into the next couple
24:08
of weeks is just this way.
24:10
Cause I did know this
24:11
weekend's not a good
24:12
example because you were out of town,
24:13
but you need way more than 1200 calories.
24:16
But I know that you're like, well,
24:18
I tracked and I feel,
24:20
and that's why we track.
24:21
Okay.
24:22
We know you were definitely
24:23
under a little bit this weekend,
24:24
but that's okay.
24:25
It happens sometimes.
24:27
So good.
24:29
It was not ideal this weekend,
24:32
so I made the best of it
24:34
because I didn't have time
24:35
to pack a bunch of stuff.
24:37
Yeah, for sure.
24:38
And that's really what it is.
24:39
I would much rather you,
24:41
somebody who's looking to
24:42
improve their insulin sensitivity,
24:44
lose fat,
24:45
I would much rather you be under
24:47
than over as long as...
24:50
You're not seeing a huge
24:52
drop in your energy to
24:54
where it's causing anxiety or stress,
24:57
or it doesn't trigger a
24:58
huge binge response where
25:00
all of a sudden you're like starving.
25:02
Those are the two things to watch out for.
25:04
And I don't think either of
25:05
those things happen.
25:05
You are probably having
25:07
entirely too much fun.
25:09
Yeah.
25:09
And I was tired.
25:11
Like I fell asleep early.
25:12
Yeah.
25:14
When you're trudging through
25:15
a foot of sand all day,
25:19
like you're whooped and the
25:20
sun was blazing hot and not
25:23
a cloud in the sky.
25:24
So it was a beautiful day, but man,
25:26
it just took it out of me.
25:27
Yeah.
25:28
How about your workouts?
25:29
I know obviously this
25:30
weekend was trudging and
25:31
all that kinds of stuff.
25:32
Yesterday was a rest day.
25:33
Did you end up working out today?
25:35
So at lunch, I just lifted.
25:36
It's been a stressful day.
25:39
So I just, I went to 185 on my clean,
25:44
which is the most I've gone
25:45
to in a very long time.
25:46
Awesome.
25:47
And just kept cleaning until I felt good.
25:50
And then I'll probably go
25:51
out and do like a zone two
25:53
something tonight.
25:54
I think that honestly, Scott, for you,
25:56
I know that getting to the
25:57
gym right now has been very challenging.
26:00
it might be good for you for
26:02
maybe the next two weeks
26:03
until the games look like, all right,
26:05
let's do like a Monday
26:06
monostructural type thing.
26:08
Tuesday, lift.
26:10
Wednesday,
26:10
some kind of a conditioning thing.
26:12
Thursday, maybe lift.
26:14
Friday, maybe conditioning thing.
26:16
Saturday and Sunday,
26:18
rest or go do things with
26:19
your wife and take the
26:20
weekend off and kind of do
26:23
the same thing next week.
26:24
That might be the best thing for you.
26:27
Yeah, it felt good to lift.
26:29
I just haven't even tried to
26:32
go heavy on a lift.
26:34
I know 185 doesn't sound heavy,
26:35
but it is the heaviest I've
26:37
gone in a long time.
26:38
Well, listen, again,
26:39
that's why we're changing
26:40
direction of the show.
26:41
We can all relate, myself included,
26:43
to being like, wow,
26:45
this isn't really heavy,
26:46
but it feels heavy today.
26:48
As I was talking about those
26:49
squat cleans at 95 pounds,
26:51
I used to be able to easily
26:53
do Elizabeth 21-15-9 and
26:55
squat cleans and ring dips
26:57
in like three and a half
26:58
minutes unbroken.
27:00
And I'm like doing sets of
27:01
10 yesterday at that weight.
27:02
And I'm like, this feels so heavy,
27:04
but I haven't been able to
27:05
lift heavy in a very long time.
27:07
So that is relatively heavy
27:09
right now for me.
27:11
So I get it though.
27:12
It doesn't, it does.
27:12
You always feel like you
27:13
have to kind of reason with yourself.
27:15
Well,
27:16
It was just a while.
27:17
So I think that, yeah,
27:19
getting you back into some
27:20
strength progressions would be good.
27:22
Maybe post, we won't start anything now,
27:24
but maybe after you get
27:26
back from the games.
27:31
you can maybe, I'm sure it's Christie,
27:33
if you're gonna go back to the gym,
27:34
getting you into like a squat,
27:35
like they're always doing,
27:36
I think they're just starting a cycle,
27:37
but getting you squatting
27:39
again safely so that you don't, you know,
27:42
injure yourself again.
27:43
But I think that that's also,
27:45
this is a great time
27:47
As I mentioned that I wanted
27:48
the topic today really to
27:49
be just about consistency or chaos.
27:51
Now is not the time for you
27:52
to be making big changes.
27:54
You've got to travel plans in two weeks.
27:55
I think that the next two weeks, it's like,
27:58
let's just keep things consistent.
28:00
Let's keep focusing on the
28:01
actions that you're already doing.
28:03
and getting the reps built in.
28:06
Um,
28:06
and that's what a lot of people should
28:07
be doing at this time of year.
28:08
But while you're in that,
28:10
it's what's the next chapter look like?
28:13
Okay.
28:13
Like after the games, you know, yes,
28:15
you're going to have the
28:16
masters coming up.
28:17
When is the masters again?
28:19
Labor Day weekend.
28:20
Well, I don't know when Labor Day is.
28:21
I can't remember.
28:22
September.
28:23
Like the first day of September.
28:25
Yeah.
28:26
And is, is it, how many days is it?
28:27
Is it three days?
28:28
Uh, four.
28:30
OK, well, that's good.
28:31
I was going to say then we
28:32
can kind of look at, OK,
28:33
post games until then.
28:35
That's about three or four
28:36
weeks and we'll get some
28:38
progress made right for the games.
28:41
And then we do it again, you know,
28:42
and then we kind of have
28:42
like a little bit more of a
28:43
cadence and you have a
28:45
little bit more of a plan, you know,
28:46
because really, if you think about it,
28:48
if we start looking at this now, August,
28:51
September, October,
28:53
that'll give us 12 to 16
28:54
weeks before the holiday season.
28:56
Can you guys believe that
28:57
that I'm already saying that?
28:59
August, September, October is 12 weeks.
29:01
So we're looking at about 16
29:02
weeks of being able to
29:04
really kind of put some
29:05
work in and then take
29:06
another little break.
29:07
You know,
29:08
that's part of life and where
29:09
you're just coasting again through chaos.
29:13
So just to recap some things,
29:16
we are taking a couple
29:18
weeks off to revamp the show.
29:21
We're looking for your input.
29:22
We want it to be more
29:24
community-driven with some
29:27
things we can do together as a community.
29:30
We want it to include everybody's journey,
29:32
not just mine and Cheryl's,
29:34
but we want everybody to join in on that.
29:38
And with that...
29:40
Yeah,
29:40
and we'll come back in a couple weeks
29:42
with a new name, a new show, same people,
29:46
same supportive group,
29:48
and just keep on pushing.
29:52
All right, guys.
29:54
And just so you know,
29:56
Cheryl and I are not taking a break.
29:57
Her and I are still going to
29:58
meet every week through this break.
30:01
Yes.
30:01
As we're going,
30:02
it's just the show that's taking a break,
30:05
revamping so we can just
30:07
kind of modify it and make it fit better.
30:09
And even scheduling wise so
30:12
that our check-in is before the show.
30:14
Yeah.
30:15
Yeah.
30:15
Scott's check-in guys every
30:17
week is on Thursdays.
30:18
So normally I do my client
30:20
check-ins on Sunday, Monday or Wednesday,
30:22
Thursday.
30:23
So.
30:24
um he normally gets his
30:25
check-in notes and I'll
30:26
usually review things and
30:27
we have some things to talk
30:28
about on our call and then
30:30
going into this week for
30:32
the show yeah yeah so we
30:34
want to flip it because
30:35
right now it's we do the
30:36
show then the check-in we
30:37
want it to be the check-in
30:38
then the show so with that
30:42
uh corey we we are on a break
30:45
Yeah, I started reading the comments,
30:46
which is never a good thing
30:47
because we could be on here
30:48
for another hour just
30:49
watching what Jake has to
30:51
say and Heidi and Jodi and Judy,
30:53
all of them.
30:55
Yeah.
30:55
And, and just, you know,
30:56
we want it to be more,
30:57
we want it to have a topic every week too,
30:59
that we talk about and we
31:01
want to keep the fun.
31:02
We want like what your favorite foods are,
31:05
the nostalgia of Galad and
31:08
Billy Blanks and Corey
31:10
Everson and all of that stuff.
31:12
We want to keep all that fun
31:13
stuff in the show.
31:14
We just want to have,
31:16
we want it to be more
31:18
community driven and we
31:20
want it to have a topic
31:21
every week and more focused on everybody.
31:25
Yeah, what I'll probably end up doing,
31:26
and we can end on this,
31:27
is have Scott and I put out
31:31
every single week on our
31:32
Instagram stories.
31:33
So if you don't follow us, follow us,
31:35
which you guys got to be
31:36
following us on Instagram.
31:37
Come on now.
31:39
It's like a Q&A so that if
31:40
you guys have listener questions,
31:42
we can make sure we're
31:42
getting those answered too.
31:44
And if you guys have
31:44
specific things about nutrition, fitness,
31:47
training, skills, life, whatever,
31:52
or any topics that you want
31:53
us to talk about,
31:55
How come they ain't talking about this?
31:56
Like, bring it up.
31:57
We want to talk about it.
31:58
And here's an idea.
31:59
If you have something you
32:00
did awesome in the gym and
32:01
you have video of it,
32:02
send it to us and we'll
32:03
share it on the show.
32:04
Oh, I would love that.
32:06
I love it.
32:07
Like a PR or just something
32:09
you did that made you feel
32:10
good that week.
32:11
Yeah.
32:12
We can,
32:13
we can cheer on everybody in the crowd.
32:15
Can we share our own PRs too, Scott?
32:18
We can.
32:19
Let's like, let's do that too.
32:20
I love this.
32:21
I'm like getting so super
32:22
excited for this.
32:23
That's how we want it to be
32:25
more community.
32:27
We'll share our stuff still.
32:28
Yeah.
32:30
You guys to share too.
32:31
Yeah.
32:31
I'm just going to just comment, Jake,
32:33
you can totally ask your
32:35
men's health issues for sure.
32:37
And I will be honest with you.
32:39
Okay.
32:41
If I don't have the answer,
32:42
I will be honest with you and tell you,
32:44
I don't have the answer and
32:45
I will make sure that I get
32:46
you the answer.
32:47
So, and yeah,
32:49
Yeah, that's it.
32:50
We'll leave it at that.
32:52
Like Denise is going to be
32:53
at the CrossFit Games and
32:54
on Labor Day weekend in the
32:56
65 plus and I'll be
32:58
shooting video of her.
32:59
So we'll have that to share
33:01
on the show as well.
33:02
That's awesome.
33:02
I'm excited for all.
33:03
Yeah,
33:04
I can't wait to see some of the games
33:05
footage.
33:06
So Chad, thousand step ups for time.
33:11
Yeah, I don't know if you heard,
33:12
but we got full
33:14
behind-the-scenes access at
33:15
the Masters CrossFit Games.
33:17
So we're going to be
33:18
covering that behind the scenes,
33:21
interviewing Denise.
33:23
Awesome.
33:24
And Jamie, and Jamie Hygieia,
33:26
and Becca Voigt, and Val Robrel,
33:29
who made it to the Games this year,
33:31
and all those super cool athletes.
33:33
All the OGs, yeah.
33:35
Can I just do a little tangent here?
33:38
For all my ladies in the chat, Jake,
33:40
you can...
33:41
take this as you will.
33:42
I know you're talking about
33:43
men's hormones and all that.
33:45
I made a podcast episode or
33:46
I did a metabolism masterclass.
33:48
And a lot of you ladies are
33:50
in that listen to this are
33:51
in your forties and fifties.
33:53
Next time somebody tells you,
33:55
you should stop doing
33:55
CrossFit because it's bad
33:56
for your hormones.
33:58
I want you to,
33:58
the only reason I'm saying
33:59
this is I want you to think
34:00
about people like Denise
34:03
that are 65 plus the, the valve overalls,
34:06
the,
34:07
the Rebecca voids that have been
34:08
doing CrossFit for years.
34:11
And they don't have the
34:13
problems because CrossFit
34:16
is not bad for your hormones.
34:18
All right.
34:19
So like there is a lot of good things.
34:20
That was my only last tangent.
34:22
So next time you are getting
34:24
told that CrossFit is bad for you,
34:26
think about those women out
34:28
there and also think about
34:30
the other things that might
34:31
be impacting your hormones
34:33
that are not related to
34:34
CrossFit that those ladies
34:35
probably have dialed in.
34:36
So that was my only other tangent.
34:39
As I said,
34:39
it's going to be a show about everything.
34:41
So.
34:43
so with that shoot us a dm
34:44
if you have ideas for the
34:45
show um shoot us an idea if
34:47
you have questions and
34:49
again we wanna we wanna
34:50
celebrate everybody on this
34:52
show not just cheryl and I
34:54
and we're gonna have a good
34:55
time doing that we just
34:57
need to reinvent it come up
34:58
with new slides new
35:00
backdrops new music the
35:02
whole bit uh and it'll be a
35:04
fresh new clean version of
35:05
what we have here
35:07
in just a few weeks because
35:08
the games are two and a
35:09
half weeks away with that.
