  What is going on, everybody?
• 0:31
  Welcome to the Clydesdale
• 0:33
  Media Weight Loss Journey.
• 0:34
  My name is Scott Switzer.
• 0:35
  I'm the Clydesdale.
• 0:36
  She is my nutrition coach, Cheryl Nasso.
• 0:39
  And we're here to have our weekly chat.
• 0:43
  And I've already been
• 0:44
  scolded coming into the episode.
• 0:49
  So, hey, Holly.
• 0:50
  Hey, Kenneth.
• 0:51
  Hey, Megan, Damian, Corey.
• 0:54
  Good to see you all.
• 0:56
  I'm looking at the chat,
• 0:57
  and I just can't help but
• 0:58
  just look at Damien's workout for today.
• 1:01
  Burpee box jumps and a rower.
• 1:03
  Just, man.
• 1:06
  You know, I just, before we get into you,
• 1:08
  I have to tell you,
• 1:09
  I revisited an old workout
• 1:11
  last week just for the fun of it.
• 1:15
  An old workout from Ben
• 1:17
  Bergeron that we did called Fortitude.
• 1:19
  It's a 30-minute EMOM.
• 1:22
  Odd minute is 15 calories on the rower.
• 1:25
  Even minute is 15 burpees for 30 minutes.
• 1:29
  And I'm sure people can now
• 1:31
  do more than that,
• 1:32
  but that was back then the standard.
• 1:34
  And I decided to do that last week,
• 1:36
  but I did it with burpees over the rower.
• 1:40
  So Damien, I feel for you, man.
• 1:44
  I think what's worse than
• 1:45
  rowing in burpee box jumps
• 1:46
  is echo bike or a salt bike
• 1:49
  into any box jump.
• 1:51
  You just...
• 1:53
  It just hurts.
• 1:54
  Hurts.
• 1:55
  We do this for fun.
• 1:56
  Yes.
• 1:57
  We do this for the experience.
• 1:59
  That's really what it is.
• 2:01
  You know, we say we do it for fun,
• 2:03
  but we don't.
• 2:04
  We do it because we have
• 2:06
  this sick thing in our
• 2:08
  brain that like loves the
• 2:10
  experience and being like, oh,
• 2:12
  that workout was so bad.
• 2:14
  Because y'all know that's what it is.
• 2:15
  We all want to be able to
• 2:16
  talk about what we did, you know?
• 2:19
  So just a little...
• 2:21
  actually goes very well into
• 2:23
  the journey that we're on
• 2:24
  right now with Scott is
• 2:26
  sometimes the journey is hard,
• 2:27
  but getting through the
• 2:29
  journey is what makes it worthwhile.
• 2:30
  Cause you have all the stuff
• 2:32
  to talk about and you've
• 2:33
  been going through some tough times.
• 2:35
  So let's shout out to, uh,
• 2:38
  Judy Reed and Aaron Frazier
• 2:41
  who jumped in the chat as well.
• 2:43
  So don't miss anybody.
• 2:45
  We got a good group.
• 2:46
  We got a good group.
• 2:46
  A lot of people rooting for
• 2:47
  you to get better.
• 2:48
  So, um, fill us in a little bit.
• 2:51
  You had your cardiologist
• 2:52
  appointment at EKG yesterday.
• 2:54
  No results yet.
• 2:56
  No results.
• 2:57
  I mean, I have the results.
• 2:58
  I don't know what they mean.
• 2:59
  Um, in my, um,
• 3:03
  My, my hospital has a, my chart app.
• 3:06
  So all the tests go right in
• 3:07
  there so I can see them all.
• 3:09
  I just don't know what any of it means.
• 3:11
  And I haven't heard from the
• 3:12
  cardiologist with yesterday
• 3:14
  being a holiday.
• 3:15
  I just don't know like when
• 3:17
  he'll be back in,
• 3:18
  but I am still in a fib for sure.
• 3:21
  The, they met with me before I left,
• 3:24
  told me that I am still in
• 3:25
  a fib and that a doctor
• 3:28
  will be in contact.
• 3:31
  I've,
• 3:32
  the doctor that saw me in
• 3:33
  the hospital is now my doctor,
• 3:35
  my cardiologist,
• 3:37
  and he'll be in touch with
• 3:38
  me for next steps.
• 3:40
  Yeah.
• 3:40
  What are your restrictions right now?
• 3:42
  Are they telling you that like,
• 3:43
  you shouldn't be moving around at all?
• 3:45
  Are they telling you like to
• 3:46
  kind of be sit sedentary, lay down,
• 3:48
  like work wise,
• 3:49
  are you able to go to work?
• 3:50
  Like what's that look like
• 3:51
  for you right now?
• 3:52
  Uh,
• 3:52
  so I've been back to work since Friday.
• 3:54
  Um,
• 3:57
  I have a sedentary job,
• 3:59
  so it's not like a lot of
• 4:01
  stress on any kind of movement.
• 4:03
  Um,
• 4:04
  they do not want me to raise my heart
• 4:05
  rate.
• 4:06
  Um, the stroke risk is just too much.
• 4:11
  And, um,
• 4:13
  until they get everything under control.
• 4:15
  it's all about eliminating
• 4:16
  the stroke risk.
• 4:18
  Got it.
• 4:18
  Okay.
• 4:19
  Uh, terms of, uh,
• 4:22
  like your lungs and breathing,
• 4:25
  is that getting cleared up?
• 4:26
  Are you feeling any better there?
• 4:28
  Yes.
• 4:29
  Um, much clearer.
• 4:30
  I can take a full deep breath now,
• 4:33
  which I couldn't, um, a week ago.
• 4:36
  Um, um,
• 4:39
  It's weird though.
• 4:40
  Like if I take a full deep breath,
• 4:42
  I immediately burp.
• 4:43
  And we've talked about that.
• 4:46
  It's been funny.
• 4:47
  I've had so many people
• 4:48
  reach out to me who've been
• 4:50
  through different things.
• 4:53
  They had me on metformin for
• 4:54
  the high sugar and it
• 4:56
  actually can cause burping.
• 4:59
  Yeah.
• 5:01
  And that might be,
• 5:02
  the issue there,
• 5:03
  but I see my new family doctor on Friday.
• 5:07
  So, um,
• 5:09
  we can talk about all that stuff
• 5:11
  and maybe there's a different medicine.
• 5:13
  Um, cause my sugar,
• 5:15
  I've got it down in the one fifties.
• 5:17
  It was at three 80 when I
• 5:19
  went in the hospital.
• 5:20
  Um,
• 5:20
  and they took me off all of the
• 5:22
  prednisone and then, um,
• 5:25
  I've been on insulin and
• 5:27
  metformin and really
• 5:29
  watching my diet and it has been
• 5:32
  It'd been one fifties average.
• 5:35
  Okay.
• 5:36
  What is it when you wake up
• 5:37
  in the morning?
• 5:38
  One 50.
• 5:39
  It's not moving much during the day.
• 5:41
  Okay.
• 5:42
  So after you eat and fasted,
• 5:46
  it's about the same or does
• 5:48
  it go up after you eat?
• 5:49
  So they have me take it when
• 5:51
  I wake up and before every, before lunch,
• 5:54
  before dinner and before bed.
• 5:55
  But not after dinner or not, not after.
• 5:57
  No.
• 5:58
  I was just curious what it was,
• 5:59
  if it was spiking at all after you ate.
• 6:01
  Just curious about that.
• 6:03
  I mean, out of curiosity,
• 6:05
  I could test it once.
• 6:06
  I'm just curious.
• 6:07
  I'm a dork about that kind of stuff.
• 6:10
  I know we had mentioned
• 6:11
  looking at the fat intake
• 6:12
  that that could also be
• 6:13
  some of the stomach discomfort.
• 6:16
  Did you work on in
• 6:18
  decreasing that a little bit this week?
• 6:19
  Looks like you did.
• 6:20
  I did.
• 6:23
  And my logging is a little
• 6:24
  bit off because I told you
• 6:26
  like the HelloFresh meals,
• 6:28
  they are a little bit higher in fat,
• 6:30
  but we take out a lot of the fat.
• 6:32
  in preparing them.
• 6:33
  Okay.
• 6:34
  Um,
• 6:34
  when it calls for like oils and stuff
• 6:36
  like that, we do not use that.
• 6:38
  Okay.
• 6:38
  Yeah.
• 6:39
  That's I,
• 6:39
  I hate the hello fresh meals
• 6:40
  because of that.
• 6:42
  They are so loaded in fat.
• 6:44
  I mean, they say, hello,
• 6:46
  this is the problem with marketing.
• 6:48
  Somebody that like is trying
• 6:49
  to eat healthier, right?
• 6:51
  You hear hello fresh.
• 6:53
  You think what these have
• 6:54
  got to be super healthy
• 6:55
  meals and granted some of them likely are,
• 6:59
  but
• 7:00
  I don't think that they're
• 7:01
  all very healthy.
• 7:02
  A lot of times they're using
• 7:03
  white flour breads and
• 7:05
  pastas and they're usually loaded in fat.
• 7:08
  And like you said,
• 7:09
  you're like not using it.
• 7:10
  But a person that's not
• 7:12
  paying attention is literally like,
• 7:14
  why am I eating healthy and
• 7:16
  not losing weight?
• 7:16
  Because your meal has a thousand calories.
• 7:19
  You might as well have had
• 7:20
  the burger and fries from McDonald's.
• 7:22
  You know, like it's a it's a part of,
• 7:25
  you know,
• 7:25
  so I really I honestly I know
• 7:26
  that they're fun for variety.
• 7:28
  But my opinion on those kind
• 7:29
  of meals is get the ideas,
• 7:32
  like get the ideas for the meals,
• 7:34
  but simplify and recreate, you know,
• 7:36
  and if maybe you want to
• 7:37
  have one or two a week
• 7:39
  because you want something
• 7:40
  a little bit different for variety.
• 7:42
  But I mean, I'm going to be honest, like.
• 7:44
  For instance,
• 7:45
  this is not taken on your diet,
• 7:46
  but I am a nutrition coach,
• 7:48
  but a chicken and biscuit pot pie.
• 7:50
  Chicken and biscuit pot pie.
• 7:52
  I have no idea what the ingredients are,
• 7:56
  but what am I picturing?
• 7:57
  I grew up making pot pie, and I love it.
• 8:02
  But it's typically going to
• 8:02
  be like a cream-based sauce,
• 8:05
  like something very heavy
• 8:06
  with like a pastry crust, you know,
• 8:09
  and there's like chicken.
• 8:10
  You know,
• 8:10
  so it's like I'm fine with the meals,
• 8:13
  but like just it does make it.
• 8:15
  I'm off on a tangent right
• 8:16
  now about this HelloFresh
• 8:17
  because it's something that people,
• 8:19
  even like the meal prep companies,
• 8:21
  you know, Clean Eats or whatever, have.
• 8:23
  ideal nutrition.
• 8:24
  They're all the same.
• 8:25
  It's like you pick a meal and you're like,
• 8:28
  oh, this must be healthy.
• 8:29
  Then you're still getting 800 calories.
• 8:32
  Just saying.
• 8:35
  It is better than just going
• 8:37
  and grabbing takeout.
• 8:38
  I'm not saying that.
• 8:41
  A little tangent.
• 8:42
  We only do two meals a week.
• 8:48
  Fat intake other than that day looks...
• 8:52
  lower for the most part let
• 8:54
  me see um yeah it's
• 8:57
  whenever you have the hello
• 8:58
  fresh meals it jacks your
• 8:59
  fat up like thursday your
• 9:01
  dinner had you know
• 9:06
  23 grams of fat and 70 carbs.
• 9:09
  And again,
• 9:09
  you're likely not using all of
• 9:11
  the ingredients,
• 9:12
  but I don't know what the
• 9:14
  source of those carbs are.
• 9:16
  Like where are those 70 carbs coming from?
• 9:19
  Was it pasta?
• 9:20
  Was it, uh, you know, what,
• 9:23
  what was it that night?
• 9:24
  Do you remember?
• 9:26
  I don't know.
• 9:27
  I don't remember what was posted.
• 9:28
  It was, it was pasta.
• 9:29
  Uh,
• 9:33
  Yeah.
• 9:33
  So again, I doubt they're using a,
• 9:35
  like a whole grain high fiber pasta.
• 9:37
  It's likely just a white flour pasta.
• 9:39
  Just not that I'm not
• 9:40
  demonizing those things,
• 9:42
  but like when I'm trying to like, Hey,
• 9:44
  let's kind of work on these little things,
• 9:45
  those types of things.
• 9:46
  And if it's only twice a week,
• 9:48
  that's fine.
• 9:49
  But just some things to
• 9:50
  watch out for as we were
• 9:50
  talking about fat intake,
• 9:52
  something for everybody to
• 9:53
  listen in on that is buying
• 9:55
  a lot of these types of things.
• 9:57
  Um,
• 9:59
  Lex, Carolyn, I made a shepherd's pie.
• 10:01
  Oh, by the way,
• 10:02
  I have a chicken pot pie recipe.
• 10:03
  That's pretty,
• 10:04
  pretty obviously macro macro friendly.
• 10:06
  I love that word.
• 10:07
  I actually hate that word or
• 10:09
  that terminology, but so, but just,
• 10:12
  just the example of what we
• 10:13
  do is like that pot pie,
• 10:16
  like it didn't have a bottom crust.
• 10:18
  It was just,
• 10:19
  and it was more with chicken
• 10:20
  broth than like a cream.
• 10:24
  And we didn't use all the
• 10:25
  biscuits on the top.
• 10:26
  Yeah.
• 10:27
  So we like cut back the carbs that way.
• 10:31
  You know,
• 10:31
  we don't use the oils they ask for.
• 10:34
  There's no need for it.
• 10:36
  Nothing sticks.
• 10:40
  The worst part is you really
• 10:42
  can't even like when you go
• 10:43
  on their website,
• 10:45
  you really can't even look
• 10:46
  at things beforehand.
• 10:49
  I think if I were you,
• 10:50
  I would probably when you're doing it,
• 10:53
  look at the fit and wholesome brand,
• 10:57
  but again, you can't choose.
• 10:59
  And I can't even look at
• 11:00
  that until I actually click to sign up.
• 11:05
  I'm on their website right now.
• 11:07
  I'll be honest.
• 11:08
  I would never have ordered the pop high.
• 11:10
  Um, but when I was sick,
• 11:12
  I didn't have time to go in
• 11:14
  and change the order for the week.
• 11:16
  So I just got what they gave us.
• 11:18
  Yeah.
• 11:18
  Um, so yeah, that's how that happened.
• 11:22
  Anyways,
• 11:22
  so just kind of watching out for
• 11:24
  the HelloFresh stuff.
• 11:25
  So your weight is trending
• 11:27
  back down a little bit.
• 11:28
  So we're kind of obviously medications,
• 11:31
  inflammation.
• 11:31
  I'm sure they gave you
• 11:32
  fluids in the hospital.
• 11:34
  They always pump you up with fluids,
• 11:35
  whether you're dehydrated or not.
• 11:38
  You didn't fill in your check-in form.
• 11:39
  I already got talked to you about that.
• 11:41
  That was one of our things.
• 11:42
  So how has your hydration been?
• 11:44
  Have you been drinking enough water?
• 11:45
  Oh, yeah.
• 11:47
  Okay, good.
• 11:49
  How has your sleep been?
• 11:53
  I mean,
• 11:54
  it's been better than it was before
• 11:56
  I went in the hospital.
• 12:00
  But I still wake up in the
• 12:01
  middle of the night,
• 12:02
  but I'm falling asleep at
• 12:03
  seven o'clock at night.
• 12:05
  So then I wake up at like
• 12:06
  one and I'm having a hard
• 12:08
  time falling back to sleep.
• 12:10
  And then I do like another
• 12:12
  like four to eight.
• 12:12
  Okay.
• 12:13
  Yeah.
• 12:14
  So a little bit disrupted.
• 12:15
  Um, all right.
• 12:18
  Um, all right.
• 12:19
  So a couple of questions I
• 12:20
  asked my clients on their
• 12:21
  check-in that you didn't answer.
• 12:22
  How did you win last week?
• 12:26
  How did I win last week?
• 12:27
  How'd you win?
• 12:29
  Um, give me a win.
• 12:32
  I've been completely
• 12:33
  compliant with my medicine.
• 12:34
  I've been, uh, tracking my food every day.
• 12:38
  Um, I've been trying to hit my targets.
• 12:43
  Um,
• 12:45
  I have a much more concerted
• 12:47
  effort toward my goals and
• 12:49
  me over the last week.
• 12:51
  I would agree.
• 12:52
  I would say you've gotten
• 12:53
  vegetables and you've been
• 12:55
  really winning.
• 12:56
  Like you've been winning
• 12:58
  things on my end here.
• 12:59
  I want to know physically, mentally,
• 13:03
  what you feel like has been
• 13:03
  your biggest struggle.
• 13:05
  I know the breath thing,
• 13:06
  I know the heart thing,
• 13:07
  but what has been the
• 13:08
  hardest thing for you this
• 13:09
  week with like compliance, with nutrition,
• 13:11
  with everything?
• 13:15
  just mental, just mentally not,
• 13:19
  not diving down in the hole.
• 13:22
  Um, I actually, Lex texted me yesterday.
• 13:25
  Um, like I,
• 13:28
  I've been doing Legos like to
• 13:30
  just kind of keep my, my mind free and,
• 13:34
  um, and do stuff.
• 13:37
  And I have a Chicago bears
• 13:39
  home that I'm working on now.
• 13:41
  Um, and that,
• 13:42
  and so I just do a little bit at a time,
• 13:44
  um,
• 13:45
  And I do that to keep my
• 13:47
  mind out of the bad places.
• 13:51
  You know,
• 13:51
  can I just tell you that your
• 13:52
  coach resonates with that?
• 13:55
  You know,
• 13:55
  I've got my own struggles and
• 13:58
  it's funny that you
• 13:59
  mentioned Legos because today I'm like,
• 14:01
  I got to start a puzzle.
• 14:04
  I like puzzles.
• 14:05
  Puzzles are good for me
• 14:06
  because I've been working
• 14:07
  on not filling every second
• 14:09
  of my day with work.
• 14:11
  I'm the kind of person,
• 14:13
  if there's a free moment,
• 14:14
  I should be filling it with something.
• 14:16
  And when I have idle hands,
• 14:18
  it's not comfortable.
• 14:20
  So I've been thinking about that.
• 14:22
  I like the Legos.
• 14:23
  That's kind of a cool thing.
• 14:24
  Yeah, I had some in my...
• 14:30
  like people got me for Christmas.
• 14:31
  Like I have the Chicago bear stadium.
• 14:33
  I have a helmet that I just
• 14:36
  hadn't gotten around to,
• 14:38
  and I'm just taking time
• 14:39
  for me to do that.
• 14:40
  Okay.
• 14:41
  Um,
• 14:41
  so struggles has just been mostly
• 14:43
  mentally,
• 14:44
  just like keeping yourself out
• 14:45
  of your head.
• 14:46
  I'll be, it's scary.
• 14:47
  It re it brings up whenever
• 14:48
  you had something going on
• 14:49
  with your health, like it's like,
• 14:52
  the problem feels amplified.
• 14:54
  It always feels amplified
• 14:56
  because it's like,
• 14:58
  you can't do anything about it.
• 14:59
  You know?
• 15:00
  And it's like, you're just,
• 15:01
  especially right now you're
• 15:02
  like in a waiting game and
• 15:04
  all we can really do in
• 15:05
  those moments is like,
• 15:07
  like you're doing like,
• 15:08
  what am I going to do?
• 15:09
  I can't, the more I worry about something,
• 15:12
  the crazier I get, you know,
• 15:13
  you just got to keep plugging along,
• 15:15
  you know?
• 15:16
  So I love that for you.
• 15:17
  So you're getting through this struggle.
• 15:19
  Um,
• 15:21
  Any specific questions for this week?
• 15:24
  That's the next one.
• 15:25
  One more struggle I had is
• 15:28
  when I saw the news about
• 15:31
  Myra Brandt from Training Think Tank,
• 15:33
  like with everything I've gone through,
• 15:35
  that really,
• 15:37
  really hit home and hit hard.
• 15:39
  That we don't have – we're
• 15:40
  not promised tomorrow.
• 15:42
  That's – when I saw that, I was like,
• 15:47
  you never –
• 15:49
  you never see those stories
• 15:51
  happening like in your life
• 15:53
  to somebody that you've met
• 15:55
  or experienced or been in contact with.
• 15:57
  And, and then when it happens,
• 16:00
  you just realize how precious life is,
• 16:03
  how like she had no,
• 16:07
  nobody has any idea that
• 16:10
  the next hour could be their last hour.
• 16:13
  And it truly like bringing
• 16:15
  tears to my eyes right now
• 16:16
  that literally at any moment,
• 16:20
  it could be done.
• 16:23
  And, and you're right.
• 16:24
  It's, it's, it's so important for us to,
• 16:28
  to take care of ourselves
• 16:29
  the best that we can, you know,
• 16:31
  like your life is worth so much more,
• 16:34
  you know?
• 16:34
  Um, I give myself that same advice and I,
• 16:39
  and I know that's what you were feeling.
• 16:40
  I was like, man,
• 16:41
  this could have been really bad.
• 16:43
  Like if, what,
• 16:43
  what if I didn't go to the
• 16:44
  hospital that day?
• 16:45
  Right.
• 16:45
  Like what, what if you didn't go?
• 16:47
  Like what would have
• 16:47
  happened if you're like, Oh, I'm okay.
• 16:50
  you know, but people it's,
• 16:52
  it's hard and it's really easy to,
• 16:55
  to just think if you're a,
• 16:58
  if you're a person that's
• 16:58
  very used to like just
• 17:00
  grinding through and
• 17:01
  pushing through and like
• 17:03
  feeling like shit, you just,
• 17:06
  you don't even realize how
• 17:08
  bad you feel because you're
• 17:10
  just grinding through.
• 17:11
  Like for instance,
• 17:11
  your blood sugar has
• 17:13
  probably been high for a
• 17:14
  long time and you probably had no idea.
• 17:18
  And that could have killed you, you know,
• 17:21
  like it's, but like, we don't even know,
• 17:24
  you know, so it's so important.
• 17:26
  In fact, it's, it's crazy.
• 17:27
  I,
• 17:28
  I'm due for a follow-up with my doctor
• 17:31
  and I, I, I called my doctor today.
• 17:34
  I did.
• 17:35
  I was like, you know what?
• 17:37
  You're not going to wait.
• 17:37
  You're going to go ahead and
• 17:38
  call him and you're going to get put,
• 17:40
  get some new labs run and
• 17:41
  see how things are looking.
• 17:42
  So I would say that was,
• 17:44
  I just feel for her family,
• 17:46
  for the everybody.
• 17:47
  I mean, it's just,
• 17:49
  it's crazy for sure.
• 17:50
  I know it's a tangent again, but,
• 17:52
  but that definitely mentally a struggle.
• 17:56
  Yeah.
• 17:59
  All right.
• 18:00
  How would you rate your
• 18:02
  effort this week towards your goals?
• 18:05
  I would give you a five.
• 18:07
  I would too.
• 18:08
  And by the way, guys,
• 18:09
  the scale is not one through 10.
• 18:13
  Are you weighing out your food?
• 18:16
  Yes.
• 18:17
  All right.
• 18:18
  Did you eat out at all?
• 18:20
  i don't think so I didn't
• 18:21
  see anything I did well I
• 18:22
  had I did have pizza friday
• 18:24
  night oh yes I did see that
• 18:26
  yeah I think that was the
• 18:28
  night I saw you didn't log
• 18:31
  that night yeah you logged
• 18:33
  your lunch but not your
• 18:33
  dinner okay um drinking
• 18:36
  enough water no alcohol no
• 18:39
  workouts I know step count
• 18:41
  I likely am going to guess
• 18:42
  is probably less than 2
• 18:43
  000. um are you currently menstruating
• 18:49
  Not currently.
• 18:50
  Not currently?
• 18:51
  Okay.
• 18:51
  Just making sure.
• 18:53
  Not due for another week or two.
• 18:55
  Okay.
• 18:55
  Gotcha.
• 18:57
  Have you had any significant
• 18:59
  changes in your hunger or
• 19:00
  your cravings this week?
• 19:05
  I would say my appetite is
• 19:06
  definitely back.
• 19:07
  Good.
• 19:08
  It was definitely gone for a few months.
• 19:14
  Now I'm trying to keep it down into...
• 19:18
  Um, the target you gave me,
• 19:19
  which I think is 18 something.
• 19:20
  Um, and I'm, and I'm not doing it.
• 19:23
  It's like 22.
• 19:25
  Well, I'm okay with that.
• 19:26
  Cause like if,
• 19:27
  if you don't lose a pound right now,
• 19:28
  but you're staying consistent,
• 19:30
  I'm fine with that.
• 19:31
  Like right now,
• 19:32
  the goal is if I have to
• 19:33
  give you a little bit more, I will.
• 19:34
  I'm also just trying to
• 19:36
  really work as much as I
• 19:37
  can on your insulin
• 19:38
  sensitivity because we
• 19:40
  can't get you moving.
• 19:41
  So this is a good for all of
• 19:43
  my diabetics out there.
• 19:44
  Um, anybody that deals with blood sugar.
• 19:47
  Okay.
• 19:48
  People like to focus on carbs.
• 19:51
  It doesn't matter.
• 19:53
  There is a time when carbs
• 19:54
  matter in terms of raising blood sugar.
• 19:56
  So if I'm only having carbohydrates, yes,
• 19:59
  that's going to spike my blood sugar.
• 20:00
  But what really we want to
• 20:02
  do when we're trying to
• 20:03
  bring blood sugar down is
• 20:05
  we've got to make ourselves
• 20:06
  more insulin sensitive.
• 20:08
  And to do that,
• 20:09
  if you are in a calorie deficit,
• 20:12
  that's going to make you
• 20:13
  more insulin sensitive
• 20:14
  along with if you're moving more,
• 20:17
  which gives the body this feeling like,
• 20:19
  Hey, I've got to use energy.
• 20:21
  It helps your body burn
• 20:22
  through glucose and then
• 20:24
  burn through body fat.
• 20:25
  So that's kind of why a
• 20:27
  calorie deficit is the best
• 20:29
  way along with movement is
• 20:31
  going to help bring that down.
• 20:32
  So if I can keep calories down, I will,
• 20:34
  but most importantly,
• 20:35
  you're controlling them.
• 20:36
  So that's good.
• 20:38
  Um,
• 20:39
  All right.
• 20:40
  Any, well,
• 20:40
  we talked about your sleep
• 20:41
  quality that you're waking
• 20:42
  up in the middle of night.
• 20:44
  We can kind of touch on that.
• 20:46
  How about any significant
• 20:48
  changes in your mood, motivation,
• 20:49
  or mental state?
• 20:50
  I know you mentioned mental
• 20:51
  was a struggle.
• 20:53
  Do you think it's improving
• 20:55
  or about the same or
• 20:56
  getting worse than last week?
• 20:59
  It's improving.
• 21:00
  Good.
• 21:01
  Good.
• 21:03
  Do you have any calls with
• 21:04
  your therapist lined up yet for yourself?
• 21:07
  Um, our therapist retired,
• 21:08
  so I've got to find a new one.
• 21:10
  Yeah, I gotcha.
• 21:13
  Funny story.
• 21:14
  I actually fired my therapist yesterday,
• 21:16
  so I have to find a new one too.
• 21:18
  So she, uh,
• 21:20
  she was talking down to me and
• 21:22
  I didn't like that.
• 21:23
  And regardless, this is just me.
• 21:25
  I'm just sharing my open
• 21:26
  stuff with you guys.
• 21:27
  I don't care if a therapist
• 21:29
  can talk down to me.
• 21:30
  I'm like,
• 21:32
  This isn't making me feel
• 21:33
  very safe right now.
• 21:34
  So just going to call it here.
• 21:36
  And I didn't like it.
• 21:38
  So I'm on the hunt with you, Scott.
• 21:42
  All right.
• 21:42
  Any changes in your energy
• 21:44
  throughout the day?
• 21:50
  I wouldn't say so.
• 21:51
  Okay.
• 21:52
  So did this affect your
• 21:53
  energy throughout the day?
• 21:54
  Like, were you feeling really tired?
• 21:55
  Okay.
• 21:56
  So that's still about the same.
• 21:57
  Yeah.
• 21:58
  Yeah.
• 21:59
  All right.
• 22:00
  So we're good there.
• 22:01
  We'll talk about that.
• 22:02
  Digestion.
• 22:03
  I know you mentioned the burping.
• 22:05
  You pooping regularly?
• 22:07
  So that's been a big change this week.
• 22:10
  I've been constipated since
• 22:12
  getting out of the hospital.
• 22:13
  And then that all changed yesterday.
• 22:19
  Okay.
• 22:20
  Well, that's a good thing.
• 22:21
  We had, we had a good bowel movement.
• 22:23
  That's always a fun thing.
• 22:25
  Getting that fiber intake up
• 22:26
  will really help with that a little bit.
• 22:29
  You know,
• 22:30
  that's one of the numbers that
• 22:30
  we've talked about and
• 22:31
  we're going to kind of dive
• 22:32
  into that a little bit today.
• 22:33
  Cause that's like the next
• 22:34
  thing you're doing a good job of,
• 22:37
  you know,
• 22:38
  making the changes that I've
• 22:39
  been telling you to.
• 22:40
  So we're going to keep
• 22:42
  working on that as well.
• 22:43
  All right.
• 22:44
  So,
• 22:45
  and then we're not working out right now.
• 22:49
  It's my last question is
• 22:50
  elaborate on anything that
• 22:52
  you feel to be significant this week.
• 22:55
  And I feel like we all know
• 22:57
  significance right now is
• 22:59
  everything that we got
• 23:00
  going on and kind of
• 23:01
  getting some answers.
• 23:05
  So just really,
• 23:07
  really excited about
• 23:08
  meeting with my new family doctor.
• 23:10
  Yeah.
• 23:10
  Seeing how that goes and
• 23:14
  moving forward with a new plan.
• 23:16
  Yeah.
• 23:16
  With them.
• 23:17
  I think the main thing to
• 23:18
  address right now is gut
• 23:21
  and sleep because you're
• 23:23
  doing the nutrition.
• 23:26
  You can't really work out right now.
• 23:30
  And I know you had posted
• 23:31
  something online.
• 23:33
  I think it was on Instagram
• 23:34
  that there might be surgery
• 23:35
  involved if this AFib doesn't go down.
• 23:40
  So the first way of fixing
• 23:43
  it is shocking my heart back into rhythm.
• 23:46
  Okay.
• 23:48
  which is still a procedure
• 23:49
  where they have to put you under.
• 23:52
  So I would be under anesthetic.
• 23:54
  They would shock me,
• 23:56
  get me back into rhythm.
• 24:00
  And then if that doesn't work,
• 24:02
  then there's a thing called
• 24:03
  an ablation where they go
• 24:05
  in and clean off the sensor
• 24:07
  at the top of the heart.
• 24:08
  Yeah.
• 24:09
  It's crazy.
• 24:11
  It's crazy what doctors can
• 24:12
  do really is you're going
• 24:14
  to become like RoboCop.
• 24:20
  What's amazing is like the
• 24:22
  number of people that have
• 24:23
  reached out to me that have
• 24:24
  had all of these procedures,
• 24:27
  like is huge.
• 24:28
  Yeah.
• 24:29
  Like it is.
• 24:30
  And when I,
• 24:31
  when I first announced that I had this,
• 24:33
  AFib is one of the,
• 24:34
  is the most common
• 24:36
  irregular heartbeat in the world.
• 24:38
  Right.
• 24:41
  And the bad thing is it's not correctable.
• 24:45
  It is only, you can only like,
• 24:49
  bandaid it, fix it, whatever.
• 24:51
  So even though they shocked me in,
• 24:54
  then it's,
• 24:55
  I still have to make I have to
• 24:57
  watch it because it can go back to a fib.
• 25:00
  If I'm not careful.
• 25:01
  Yeah.
• 25:02
  How do they monitor that with you at home?
• 25:07
  So I don't they're not.
• 25:09
  What's that?
• 25:13
  How do they know that you're
• 25:14
  still in a fib just because of the,
• 25:15
  they didn't eat KG yesterday.
• 25:17
  Okay.
• 25:18
  But you don't,
• 25:18
  so right now you don't have
• 25:19
  any idea right now as
• 25:20
  you're sitting there,
• 25:22
  if your heart's in rhythm or not,
• 25:23
  like you can't even,
• 25:24
  like you can't feel it.
• 25:25
  I mean, I can tell,
• 25:26
  I can tell by the feel that
• 25:29
  it's still there.
• 25:30
  Gotcha.
• 25:31
  Like, but I also went,
• 25:32
  I charged my watch so I can
• 25:35
  watch my heart rate.
• 25:36
  Good.
• 25:37
  Um, and I can watch my sleep at night.
• 25:41
  What kind of a watch is that?
• 25:44
  Uh, it's called Suunto.
• 25:47
  Suunto.
• 25:49
  S-U-U-N-T-O.
• 25:51
  It's just, it's a form of Garmin,
• 25:53
  just an off brand.
• 25:56
  Suunto watches.
• 25:57
  Um, I'd like to know which one you have.
• 26:01
  Um, does it, I think it's the nine.
• 26:04
  Does it sync with your Apple help?
• 26:08
  Um, a little bit.
• 26:11
  Good.
• 26:11
  This is good because this is
• 26:13
  one of the things that I
• 26:13
  wanted to do today to talk to you about.
• 26:16
  I actually wanted you to
• 26:17
  find out about getting some
• 26:19
  kind of a activity tracker
• 26:21
  where I could actually see
• 26:23
  data of like your heart rate.
• 26:25
  Um,
• 26:26
  like even wearing it when you're
• 26:27
  working out,
• 26:28
  like I would love to see like
• 26:29
  what's going on with heart rate,
• 26:32
  all that stuff while you are training.
• 26:34
  I think you should wear that
• 26:35
  when you go back into the
• 26:36
  gym or get back on the whoop train,
• 26:38
  you know, like something,
• 26:40
  some kind of a wearable that can do that.
• 26:43
  Yeah.
• 26:43
  I did wear this when I was,
• 26:46
  when I was in the gym.
• 26:48
  Um,
• 26:48
  and it has all the same data as a whoop.
• 26:51
  Perfect.
• 26:52
  It, um,
• 26:53
  It just, I lost the charger at Legends.
• 26:57
  So I had to buy a new charger.
• 26:58
  Yeah, just getting,
• 26:59
  the charger's probably not that much.
• 27:02
  Yeah.
• 27:02
  Right now.
• 27:04
  I already bought it.
• 27:05
  Okay, cool.
• 27:06
  Which model do you have?
• 27:09
  I think it's a Series 9.
• 27:10
  Okay, yeah.
• 27:12
  They're pretty expensive,
• 27:13
  so it's probably a nice watch.
• 27:16
  Yeah, it has a lot of stuff on it.
• 27:18
  Yeah.
• 27:19
  Yeah.
• 27:19
  Cause that was one of the
• 27:20
  things that I wanted to
• 27:21
  actually do is get you on
• 27:23
  some kind of a tracker.
• 27:25
  And then what you can do is
• 27:26
  make sure it's synced up
• 27:27
  with Apple health and you
• 27:30
  can just add me.
• 27:31
  I'm going to actually send
• 27:32
  you an invite and then we
• 27:35
  can sync up Apple health
• 27:37
  and you'll be able to I
• 27:39
  think you have to ask,
• 27:40
  I have to ask you to share.
• 27:42
  So I'm going to ask you to
• 27:43
  share your data with me so
• 27:44
  that we'll be able to see everything.
• 27:47
  or I'll be able to see everything.
• 27:48
  They won't be able to see everything.
• 27:49
  I'll be able to see everything.
• 27:51
  So, and you'll be able to choose,
• 27:53
  just make sure that you choose to like,
• 27:55
  allow me to see everything on your watch.
• 27:58
  So that I'll be able to help
• 27:58
  you out with things.
• 27:59
  And then obviously when we
• 28:01
  get back into the gym,
• 28:02
  it's also going to be
• 28:03
  helpful for me to see
• 28:04
  things like your resting
• 28:04
  heart rate and stuff and
• 28:07
  help get you back into getting fitness.
• 28:09
  So, but yeah,
• 28:11
  that was actually one of the
• 28:11
  things that I wanted to
• 28:12
  cover today was getting you
• 28:13
  on some kind of a
• 28:15
  a smartwatch.
• 28:15
  And I know it was asking me
• 28:16
  about your scale brand.
• 28:18
  Um,
• 28:19
  cause I thought it would be helpful as
• 28:21
  well.
• 28:22
  If your scale just synced up
• 28:24
  right with your Apple
• 28:25
  health as like accountability to like,
• 28:28
  it just syncs automatically this way.
• 28:30
  You don't have to worry about like, Hey,
• 28:31
  I'll be able to see every
• 28:32
  day just like that.
• 28:34
  So that,
• 28:34
  that watch and everything just
• 28:36
  syncing right through Apple
• 28:38
  health will probably be helpful,
• 28:40
  but I doubt your scale does that.
• 28:41
  You probably just have a basic scale.
• 28:43
  whatever scale so we'll get
• 28:46
  there I think this is a
• 28:47
  good start all right so
• 28:50
  let's talk about a couple
• 28:51
  of things this week for you
• 28:53
  um I know we mentioned last
• 28:56
  week really working on the
• 28:58
  fiber intake um and I'm
• 29:00
  just kind of taking a look
• 29:01
  at things because
• 29:03
  It feels like Tuesday wasn't that long ago,
• 29:05
  but it was.
• 29:06
  I know that I mentioned a couple of things,
• 29:09
  you know,
• 29:09
  switching out your bagels and such.
• 29:11
  Are you kind of working on
• 29:13
  finishing up what you have
• 29:14
  at home or did you get to
• 29:14
  the grocery store to buy new things?
• 29:17
  Tomorrow we have an order for pickup.
• 29:20
  Okay, cool.
• 29:21
  Just because I'm kind of taking a look at,
• 29:24
  you know,
• 29:24
  Friday was just the only day
• 29:26
  that you didn't log anything.
• 29:28
  Saturday you had the rest of the ragu.
• 29:32
  I'm still finishing up your bagels.
• 29:35
  I do like that.
• 29:36
  I see fruit, which is really good.
• 29:37
  I love that for your carbs.
• 29:40
  And you're eating a nice big
• 29:42
  salad every single day, which is awesome.
• 29:45
  Popcorn is a great high fiber snack,
• 29:47
  by the way,
• 29:47
  popcorn underrated for sure people.
• 29:53
  Yeah.
• 29:53
  I think the main thing still really is,
• 29:55
  is just working on the
• 29:57
  fiber intake is we got to really work on
• 29:59
  getting the fibrous carbs in.
• 30:02
  Um, so, uh,
• 30:03
  I do see the Dave's killer breads,
• 30:05
  high fiber today, which is good.
• 30:07
  Um, you didn't, yeah,
• 30:08
  you had mashed potato today.
• 30:10
  Was the mashed potato something you made?
• 30:13
  Yeah.
• 30:14
  Okay.
• 30:16
  So that's a recipe that you
• 30:17
  found in there or did you, um, uh,
• 30:20
  did you log that yourself?
• 30:21
  Just curious.
• 30:23
  It was a hello fresh, um, mashed potato.
• 30:27
  Um,
• 30:29
  So it was made fresh with potatoes.
• 30:31
  Yeah.
• 30:32
  Potatoes also underrated.
• 30:33
  I used to be afraid of potatoes.
• 30:37
  I was afraid of potatoes.
• 30:39
  Like paleo had me so brainwashed.
• 30:43
  The thing that like potatoes
• 30:44
  were bad for me.
• 30:45
  I'm like, oh my God,
• 30:46
  it's not a sweet potato.
• 30:48
  It's not a good potato.
• 30:49
  Potatoes are actually very good for you.
• 30:52
  And the skin,
• 30:53
  if you can do like a baked
• 30:54
  potato with the skin on,
• 30:56
  really good for fiber as well.
• 30:58
  So high volume as well too.
• 31:00
  Potatoes are very low
• 31:01
  calorie and people don't realize that,
• 31:04
  you know?
• 31:04
  So I think the main thing is
• 31:07
  I would love to see whole grains,
• 31:10
  high fiber at your three main meals.
• 31:12
  So
• 31:13
  whenever you're choosing
• 31:14
  your grain products,
• 31:15
  really looking for something that has,
• 31:18
  if it has like 20,
• 31:20
  I think my rule of thumb is like,
• 31:23
  three to four grams of fiber
• 31:24
  per 20 grams of carbs.
• 31:27
  Like if it has 20 grams of
• 31:28
  carbs and there's not at
• 31:29
  least three or four grams of fiber,
• 31:31
  probably should be choosing
• 31:32
  something else.
• 31:33
  So I would always just look for high fiber,
• 31:36
  whole grains, um, make some like wraps,
• 31:39
  even those like carb
• 31:40
  counter tortillas or little abash breads.
• 31:43
  Any of that kinds of stuff
• 31:44
  can be great ways to get
• 31:46
  your fiber intake up.
• 31:47
  Sorry, I'm getting a call.
• 31:48
  I'm just going to hit
• 31:48
  delete because I don't want
• 31:49
  that to distract me.
• 31:51
  But that's really good.
• 31:52
  Raspberries and avocado are
• 31:55
  also super high in fiber if
• 31:56
  you like those foods as well.
• 32:00
  That's really going to be
• 32:01
  the main focus this week is
• 32:03
  getting your fiber count up.
• 32:05
  Everything else is looking really good.
• 32:06
  Your protein has been pretty good.
• 32:09
  Let me see where that's been.
• 32:10
  Yeah, that's been much better.
• 32:13
  And your fat's been down.
• 32:14
  So really the next step is I
• 32:16
  want 30 plus grams of fiber a day.
• 32:19
  Every day.
• 32:19
  That's what I'm shooting for.
• 32:22
  Yeah.
• 32:23
  I would just look up,
• 32:25
  and I know I sent you that
• 32:26
  high fiber food list.
• 32:28
  Those are just some easy ideas.
• 32:29
  And you might not have the
• 32:30
  same exact brands,
• 32:32
  but you can probably find
• 32:33
  almost the exact same thing
• 32:35
  with whatever brand you have.
• 32:36
  In fact,
• 32:37
  if you just send me the name of
• 32:38
  wherever you go grocery shopping,
• 32:40
  I'm sure that I can look at,
• 32:41
  I've done this for,
• 32:42
  I've got clients in the UK
• 32:43
  and they don't have any of
• 32:44
  the same products as us.
• 32:45
  So I have to like,
• 32:46
  and their labels look weird too.
• 32:49
  So I have to like look at
• 32:50
  everything and try and
• 32:52
  troubleshoot and try and
• 32:54
  find them products.
• 32:55
  But, and popcorn, if you like popcorn,
• 32:57
  popcorn's a great high fiber grain.
• 33:00
  People don't give corn enough credit.
• 33:02
  So I just had memories of old movies.
• 33:05
  Remember the movie Nacho
• 33:08
  Libre and Jack Black?
• 33:11
  Get that corn out of my face.
• 33:13
  Get that corn out of my face.
• 33:14
  Oh my God.
• 33:14
  I got to show you.
• 33:15
  I'll have to share this with
• 33:16
  everybody since we're
• 33:17
  talking CrossFit here too sometimes.
• 33:19
  We did this thing at the gym
• 33:20
  that I used to be at called the Boo Bash.
• 33:22
  We did every single year and
• 33:24
  we would have a partner and
• 33:26
  we would like dress up for the Halloween.
• 33:29
  And one year a guy was Nacho
• 33:32
  Libre and I was whatever
• 33:34
  the skinny guy's name was.
• 33:35
  That was his friend.
• 33:36
  I was the dude.
• 33:37
  Oh God.
• 33:38
  I got to show you the picture.
• 33:39
  It was awesome.
• 33:40
  So, but tangent.
• 33:42
  Sorry, I'm on my hamster.
• 33:46
  Well, I hate to cut today short,
• 33:49
  but I'm now doing these
• 33:50
  from my main floor and my
• 33:54
  wife is about to get home
• 33:55
  and my dog's going to lose his shit soon.
• 33:58
  Well, we haven't seen your dog.
• 33:59
  Where's your dog?
• 34:02
  He's sleeping on the chair right now.
• 34:04
  But the minute he hears the
• 34:05
  garage door go up, it's all over.
• 34:09
  Well,
• 34:09
  that could have made for some excitement.
• 34:13
  Um, well,
• 34:14
  I'm probably going to be doing
• 34:15
  them from up here for a little while.
• 34:17
  So maybe next time I'll bring,
• 34:19
  I'll show them at the beginning.
• 34:22
  All right.
• 34:23
  All right.
• 34:24
  Well,
• 34:24
  so your homework is let's get that
• 34:26
  fiber up.
• 34:27
  Let's get that fiber intake up.
• 34:29
  Um, go ahead and sync your health,
• 34:31
  Apple health with me.
• 34:32
  Uh, that'll be helpful.
• 34:34
  And, uh,
• 34:35
  obviously last thing is just like
• 34:37
  when you're ordering the HelloFresh, uh,
• 34:39
  just trying to find the best ones, which.
• 34:42
  Every once in a while,
• 34:44
  choose the chicken pot pie.
• 34:46
  That's a childhood staple for me.
• 34:47
  So, but I'm good.
• 34:50
  You're good.
• 34:51
  We're good.
• 34:51
  All right.
• 34:54
  Well, it's been fun.
• 34:56
  Hopefully next week we'll
• 34:59
  have some more answers.
• 35:03
  After the family doctor,
• 35:04
  hopefully I hear from my
• 35:05
  cardiologist in the next
• 35:07
  day or two and we can
• 35:09
  update next week as to
• 35:11
  where everything is.
• 35:12
  With that,
• 35:14
  we will catch you next time on
• 35:18
  Clydesdale Media Weight Loss Journey.
• 35:19
  Bye, guys.
