• 1:25
  Just in time for the, uh,
• 1:26
  the old semifinal season.
• 1:29
  That is true.
• 1:30
  Yeah.

• 1:31
  of them out in the, in the, in the world.
• 1:34

  just giving you guys the tips now.
• 1:46
  That's it.
• 1:46
  I know I'm a nutrition coach.
• 1:47
  You guys, do you guys see my hair?
• 1:48
  Oh man, I'm a hot mess.
• 1:50
  I should probably clean up a
• 1:51
  little bit before these shows.
• 1:53
  Well,
• 1:54
  I'm excited to check in with you today.
• 1:55
  We've been kind of doing our
• 1:58
  formal check-ins on Thursday,
• 2:00
  so we have some direction
• 2:01
  going into the week because
• 2:02
  I think it sometimes sets
• 2:04
  you up for success knowing
• 2:05
  that you have a plan going
• 2:06
  into the weekend.
• 2:07
  It's kind of like a double
• 2:08
  check-in because your
• 2:09
  Tuesday check-in is kind of
• 2:10
  like also setting you up
• 2:11
  for the week ahead.
• 2:14
  Last week,
• 2:14
  we were coming off of your
• 2:16
  amazing weekend experience,
• 2:18
  getting to experience some
• 2:20
  athleticism with the quarterfinals.
• 2:23
  Um, travel,
• 2:25
  I think months ago at this point,
• 2:27
  it was what seems like
• 2:29
  months ago at this point, man,
• 2:30
  I don't know.
• 2:31
  I feel like all last week I
• 2:32
  was so consumed by the damn
• 2:34
  leaderboard and I'm not
• 2:35
  even like competing this year,
• 2:37
  but I could go off on a tangent on that,
• 2:39
  but I'm not going to,
• 2:40
  we're going to focus on Scott's journey.
• 2:42
  Maybe we'll, if we have time,
• 2:43
  we can close up on some CrossFit talk.
• 2:45
  Uh, but, uh, but yeah,
• 2:47
  so I think that you did a
• 2:48
  really good job over the weekend,
• 2:50
  you know,
• 2:50
  just kind of being able to be
• 2:52
  mindful while still
• 2:53
  allowing yourself to enjoy
• 2:55
  obviously being with friends and family.
• 2:57
  Uh, we did talk a little bit about, um,
• 3:01
  some stuff at home that's
• 3:02
  been affecting you and,
• 3:03
  and primarily over that weekend,
• 3:04
  that was very apparent.
• 3:06
  That's kind of affecting you a little bit.
• 3:08
  Um,
• 3:10
  And we are going to kind of
• 3:11
  obviously talk a little
• 3:12
  about that today with
• 3:13
  whatever you want to share.
• 3:15
  But last week so far, you know,
• 3:17
  your main goal was, you know,
• 3:18
  from my notes from you,
• 3:19
  I'm looking at right now is
• 3:21
  getting better about
• 3:22
  logging ahead of time or as
• 3:24
  you go so that you're not, you know,
• 3:25
  at the end of the day,
• 3:27
  only getting in 100 grams
• 3:28
  of protein and that you're
• 3:29
  getting in enough stuff.
• 3:31
  So how do you feel you did
• 3:32
  with that goal of like the
• 3:33
  pre-logging and all that stuff?
• 3:36
  I think I did really well.
• 3:37
  I don't think I did well
• 3:39
  hitting my protein over the weekend.
• 3:41
  Um, cause it was really,
• 3:42
  really busy for me.
• 3:44
  And we'll explain that in a,
• 3:45
  in a minute or two, but, um,
• 3:48
  I was just so exhausted at
• 3:50
  the end of the day that I
• 3:51
  didn't eat late.
• 3:53
  So I didn't have the chance
• 3:55
  to make up ground.
• 3:57
  I gotcha.
• 3:58
  All right.
• 4:00
  Um,
• 4:01
  Well,
• 4:01
  I know I'm going to let you talk
• 4:03
  about it a little bit
• 4:03
  because I know that you've
• 4:04
  been having some stuff
• 4:06
  going on at home that you feel like.
• 4:07
  I mean, your title right here,
• 4:09
  mental health is a part of
• 4:10
  the whole thing.
• 4:10
  And I think that I have my
• 4:15
  thoughts that I'm going to
• 4:15
  write down right now before
• 4:16
  I forget them.
• 4:17
  But I want you to kind of
• 4:18
  talk about why you titled it that.
• 4:22
  So I'm going through a
• 4:24
  season of life where my wife...
• 4:30
  my wife is really struggling
• 4:33
  with some things in her life.
• 4:36
  And when you,
• 4:37
  when the love of your life is hurting,
• 4:39
  you hurt too.
• 4:41
  And so it's really affected our lives.
• 4:45
  And it really started to
• 4:47
  become impactful the
• 4:48
  weekend we went to Michigan
• 4:51
  and became more evident.
• 4:53
  Since then,
• 4:54
  I've had to take up a lot more
• 4:57
  of the responsibilities
• 4:58
  around the house because of
• 5:01
  what she's going through.
• 5:02
  And I'm going to keep that
• 5:03
  private for now and her
• 5:06
  battle and what's going on there.
• 5:09
  but it's meaning that I'm
• 5:12
  cooking all the meals,
• 5:13
  which in one way is an
• 5:15
  advantage because now I get
• 5:16
  to control what we eat,
• 5:18
  but I'm exhausted at the end of the day.
• 5:22
  I'm cooking all the meals.
• 5:23
  I'm cleaning the house.
• 5:24
  I'm doing the laundry.
• 5:25
  I'm,
• 5:26
  Plus,
• 5:27
  we started this project in my
• 5:28
  backyard that I can't just let sit.
• 5:31
  So I'm back there.
• 5:34
  Double banger in the
• 5:35
  backyard with my
• 5:38
  sledgehammer taking posts
• 5:39
  out of the ground.
• 5:41
  But all of this and then the
• 5:42
  stress of it all.
• 5:44
  And there's stuff going on
• 5:45
  with my daughter too,
• 5:45
  which is added to that as well.
• 5:48
  Not as bad.
• 5:49
  That's a temporary thing
• 5:50
  that we just had to give
• 5:51
  her a car for a couple weeks to fix.
• 5:54
  So we're down to one car in
• 5:55
  our house as well.
• 5:58
  Oh, geez.
• 5:59
  And so with all that, I'm super stressed.
• 6:03
  I'm not sleeping as well as
• 6:04
  I was a couple weeks ago.
• 6:06
  And it, you know,
• 6:12
  you always told me like
• 6:12
  cortisol levels affect all that stuff.
• 6:15
  And it has become very
• 6:16
  evident to me as I'm
• 6:18
  tracking more and more stuff,
• 6:20
  how much it is affecting everything.
• 6:23
  And probably your blood sugar as well.
• 6:26
  It is.
• 6:27
  My blood sugar's up this week.
• 6:30
  Um, so I'm really trying to,
• 6:32
  I'm trying to eliminate as
• 6:36
  much of the processed carbs
• 6:38
  as I can from my diet to
• 6:39
  get that blood sugar back down.
• 6:40
  Um,
• 6:44
  And, um, and again,
• 6:46
  I've had to do all the grocery shopping.
• 6:48
  I'm doing the cooking.
• 6:49
  So I've had, I've, I,
• 6:52
  I'm looking that at looking
• 6:54
  at that as a blessing in
• 6:55
  some way that now I can
• 6:56
  control all that stuff a lot more.
• 6:58
  And that's the one thing I
• 6:59
  can't control in this moment.
• 7:02
  Yeah.
• 7:02
  I'm really focusing on that
• 7:04
  and my tracking.
• 7:06
  So I wanted to, uh,
• 7:08
  First off, thank you for sharing all that.
• 7:09
  And I want to kind of talk about,
• 7:10
  but I got to make a joke, dude.
• 7:12
  I got to make a joke, okay?
• 7:13
  Your story's not funny,
• 7:14
  but we got to make this lighthearted too,
• 7:16
  all right?
• 7:16
  Okay.
• 7:17
  If I got ladies in the chat, all right?
• 7:19
  Got ladies in the chat.
• 7:20
  I know I got ladies in the chat.
• 7:22
  And I might even have some
• 7:23
  mom dads in the chat.
• 7:24
  Because what I just heard was...
• 7:27
  I got to be a mom.
• 7:28
  I got to do a full-time job.
• 7:30
  I got to get to the gym.
• 7:32
  I got to eat my food.
• 7:34
  That's mom life that you're
• 7:35
  talking about right there.
• 7:36
  I got to do all the kids' laundry.
• 7:38
  This mom life shit sucks.
• 7:42
  I just had to make the joke.
• 7:43
  I had to make the joke.
• 7:44
  But I'm also dad.
• 7:47
  I know, but that's what moms do.
• 7:49
  Mom's got to play mom and dad,
• 7:51
  but they don't have to do the whole,
• 7:52
  I'm just, I'm kidding with you.
• 7:54
  I'm honestly,
• 7:55
  I'm just putting a shout out
• 7:56
  to all my moms that are in
• 7:57
  the chat right now,
• 7:58
  because that's all I was hearing.
• 8:00
  Cause I hear that so often.
• 8:02
  Oh my gosh, I got to do the laundry.
• 8:04
  I had to go grocery shopping.
• 8:06
  My kid needs to go play sports.
• 8:08
  I got to do this.
• 8:08
  I'm like,
• 8:09
  is literally,
• 8:10
  so your experience to get to
• 8:12
  the nth degree.
• 8:13
  I just had to make the joke
• 8:14
  first and foremost,
• 8:15
  because we are going into
• 8:16
  something that's very serious for you.
• 8:19
  And part two is like,
• 8:21
  I think everybody in the chat, myself,
• 8:23
  can relate how it is really
• 8:26
  hard to enjoy things in
• 8:28
  life when you want to
• 8:31
  invite somebody that you
• 8:32
  love to be a part of it and
• 8:34
  they just can't enjoy it
• 8:35
  the way that they want to.
• 8:37
  And it brings a level of
• 8:39
  guilt to yourself.
• 8:41
  And it steals the joy out of it for you.
• 8:43
  And then you feel guilty
• 8:44
  about feeling like you're
• 8:46
  not enjoying yourself.
• 8:47
  It becomes this cycle of like this.
• 8:48
  And I think we can all
• 8:51
  relate to that feeling and
• 8:52
  knowing how we just want to
• 8:53
  be able to feel better.
• 8:54
  I mean, I'm not married,
• 8:56
  but like my mom isn't well.
• 8:57
  And my mom will make plans.
• 8:59
  She's like, I want to go hiking.
• 9:00
  I want to do this.
• 9:01
  But I'm like, mom, you can't.
• 9:03
  I know you say you want to do these things,
• 9:05
  but you're going to make it
• 9:06
  like 10 minutes before
• 9:07
  you're going to overheat.
• 9:09
  I know that.
• 9:09
  And it sucks because I want
• 9:11
  her to be able to enjoy those things.
• 9:13
  So I totally understand and relate.
• 9:15
  And I'm going to tell you that
• 9:17
  I am really proud of you
• 9:19
  because I do see a huge
• 9:21
  improvement in your food quality.
• 9:24
  I think that your weekend,
• 9:28
  I think there was probably some busyness,
• 9:30
  but I think also it's okay to be like,
• 9:32
  hey, it was the weekend.
• 9:34
  I tend to be a little bit
• 9:35
  more flexible with things,
• 9:36
  just full transparency.
• 9:38
  When I look at your food on the weekend,
• 9:39
  it wasn't I'm focusing on
• 9:40
  minimally processed carbs.
• 9:42
  It was
• 9:42
  Hey, I'm going to enjoy a little bit.
• 9:44
  And that's okay because
• 9:45
  that's the 80-20 life.
• 9:47
  So I think that that's also
• 9:49
  where your protein might've
• 9:50
  been lacking a little bit on the weekend.
• 9:51
  And that's totally okay.
• 9:52
  You did the right thing.
• 9:54
  That's the part of the
• 9:55
  flexibility of this.
• 9:57
  But I mean, what I see is like,
• 9:59
  So when I say this, guys, just so you know,
• 10:01
  it's like he chose a whole grain bun.
• 10:04
  He chose the right carbs,
• 10:05
  but he had some ice cream on Saturday.
• 10:08
  That's flexibility.
• 10:09
  That's structured flexibility.
• 10:10
  He chose a high protein,
• 10:13
  higher complex carb dinner
• 10:14
  with this vegetable.
• 10:15
  I think he had carrots for vegetable.
• 10:17
  I remember I had to look back at it again.
• 10:19
  Yeah.
• 10:20
  you know what, I'm going to also have,
• 10:21
  you know, you had cauliflower and I'm,
• 10:24
  you know,
• 10:24
  I'm going to have an ice cream cone.
• 10:26
  That's part of life.
• 10:28
  So just something I wanted to mention too,
• 10:31
  but I think you honestly did well,
• 10:33
  but I want to talk about
• 10:34
  the other thing that I
• 10:36
  wanted to kind of quickly
• 10:37
  say before I open up the
• 10:38
  floor to you again is
• 10:41
  When we talk about health, right?
• 10:44
  We talk about goals when it
• 10:46
  comes to fat loss.
• 10:49
  You know,
• 10:49
  I think that there's a difference
• 10:52
  between people chasing a
• 10:54
  goal of weight loss or fat
• 10:55
  loss from a place of
• 10:57
  aesthetics that can be unhealthy.
• 11:00
  And then there's a place
• 11:00
  where it can come from health.
• 11:02
  And health is defined, in my opinion,
• 11:07
  by more than just how you
• 11:09
  look physically.
• 11:11
  or even your physical health,
• 11:13
  your mental health,
• 11:15
  I don't even think that
• 11:16
  they should be separate.
• 11:18
  I don't think that mental
• 11:20
  health and physical health
• 11:21
  could be separate.
• 11:22
  Like your brain is not
• 11:24
  separate from the rest of your body.
• 11:26
  Right.
• 11:27
  I think that we have this, like,
• 11:28
  I don't even know what to call it in,
• 11:31
  in our common day world
• 11:32
  that like mental health
• 11:34
  isn't seen as important as
• 11:36
  our physical health.
• 11:37
  And
• 11:38
  They they're they're the same.
• 11:41
  You can't have one without the other.
• 11:43
  If you are not mentally in a
• 11:45
  good head place,
• 11:46
  you are not physically
• 11:47
  going to feel well.
• 11:48
  And if you are not
• 11:49
  physically doing the things
• 11:50
  you need to be doing,
• 11:51
  you are not going to mentally feel well.
• 11:53
  You cannot have one without the other.
• 11:56
  And so it's really important
• 11:58
  for you to also, you know,
• 12:01
  we've talked about this and
• 12:02
  sure that you are doing the
• 12:04
  things for yourself
• 12:06
  mentally that you need to stay healthy.
• 12:09
  And that does come down to
• 12:11
  thinking about these things,
• 12:14
  controlling what you can control,
• 12:15
  like talking yourself
• 12:16
  through those things.
• 12:17
  Like it's, it's a different approach,
• 12:19
  right?
• 12:20
  Like it's not, it's not macros.
• 12:22
  It's not clean eating.
• 12:23
  It's,
• 12:23
  it's literally the mental side of
• 12:25
  things is much more
• 12:27
  gray matter for lack of better terms.
• 12:30
  We're talking about the brain,
• 12:32
  but it really is.
• 12:33
  It's gray.
• 12:35
  It's learning how to manage
• 12:36
  stress and how we react to
• 12:39
  it and not to become a
• 12:41
  creature that just kind of
• 12:42
  goes back to the comfort of like,
• 12:44
  whether it's food or
• 12:45
  isolation or avoiding things, it's saying,
• 12:48
  no,
• 12:49
  like I've got to mentally push through
• 12:52
  this.
• 12:52
  That's how progress is made.
• 12:53
  And that was the only other
• 12:54
  thing I want to say.
• 12:57
  Yeah,
• 12:58
  and that's what I'm really trying to do.
• 13:00
  I'm just sad right now.
• 13:04
  I'm just sad.
• 13:07
  The person I love more than
• 13:09
  anything in this world is hurting.
• 13:12
  And I can't help it.
• 13:15
  I can't make it go away.
• 13:18
  And it's really
• 13:20
  incapacitated her a lot to
• 13:21
  where I'm almost at a
• 13:24
  caretaker role right now.
• 13:28
  And it's, it's really hard and I'm really,
• 13:32
  really struggling and I'm sorry,
• 13:34
  I'm getting emotional,
• 13:35
  but I'm really trying to
• 13:39
  focus on that because of,
• 13:40
  I have to take that role on.
• 13:42
  I have to be the best I can be right now.
• 13:49
  This is where I will say that.
• 13:53
  So like separating emotion
• 13:56
  from logic and emotion from
• 13:57
  decisions is so hard in the moment,
• 14:01
  right?
• 14:02
  But the more we allow ourselves to accept,
• 14:05
  like it's okay to be sad,
• 14:07
  just like it's okay to be happy, right?
• 14:10
  It's okay to be happy.
• 14:13
  We have a hard time.
• 14:14
  Everybody in life has a
• 14:15
  really hard time feeling
• 14:17
  negative emotions.
• 14:19
  But if we realize that emotions,
• 14:21
  whether good or bad, are okay.
• 14:24
  It's okay to experience sadness.
• 14:26
  But the most important thing
• 14:27
  is just like when you're happy,
• 14:29
  when you're sad,
• 14:31
  structure and routine is
• 14:33
  the number one thing you
• 14:35
  can do to keep yourself going forward.
• 14:38
  If like...
• 14:39
  Let me flip it around a little bit.
• 14:42
  Let's just say you're really happy.
• 14:45
  You just found the love of
• 14:47
  your life and you're at
• 14:48
  work and you're like, oh,
• 14:50
  and you're like daydreaming
• 14:51
  about like that date night
• 14:54
  last night and can't wait
• 14:56
  to see them again.
• 14:57
  I'm like,
• 14:57
  you're not thinking about work
• 14:58
  and you're just like living
• 14:59
  in La La Land.
• 15:00
  You ain't going to get shit done, right?
• 15:01
  Like, come on, put your shit together,
• 15:03
  get back to work, right?
• 15:05
  that's the flip side of things,
• 15:06
  being happy.
• 15:07
  We can have the exact same
• 15:08
  experience when we're sad.
• 15:11
  We just have to learn how to
• 15:13
  stay consistent, structured, focused,
• 15:15
  like separating emotion is so hard,
• 15:19
  but it's a skill that you build.
• 15:21
  And the more you do it,
• 15:24
  the better you get at it, you know, and
• 15:27
  And I know I used to have a
• 15:28
  lot of negative coping mechanisms.
• 15:30
  And I still, to this day,
• 15:32
  will find myself in times
• 15:34
  where I'm dealing with
• 15:35
  anxiety and sadness or whatever,
• 15:36
  because I deal with this stuff too.
• 15:38
  I think we all do.
• 15:40
  And finding myself not even
• 15:42
  thinking about it,
• 15:43
  but wanting to go back to
• 15:44
  one of those coping
• 15:44
  mechanisms that I know
• 15:46
  might serve the purpose of
• 15:48
  me dealing with the emotion,
• 15:49
  but aren't going to really help the fact.
• 15:51
  It's not going to help
• 15:52
  change the situation.
• 15:54
  I've had to catch myself and be like,
• 15:56
  This isn't rational.
• 15:57
  This is emotion.
• 15:59
  And that's why structure and
• 16:01
  routine in these times is so important,
• 16:04
  you know?
• 16:05
  And the other thing I'm
• 16:07
  going to say is like
• 16:08
  minimizing what doesn't have to be done,
• 16:11
  right?
• 16:11
  Like, so yes,
• 16:13
  you're working on a yard
• 16:14
  project right now.
• 16:16
  But if like it doesn't get done this month,
• 16:18
  oh, well, like no big deal.
• 16:20
  Like it's not a big deal.
• 16:22
  You don't have like some,
• 16:24
  unless you have some like
• 16:25
  party coming up on a
• 16:26
  specific date where you're like,
• 16:28
  I've got to get this done by this date.
• 16:30
  Like put that shit to the
• 16:32
  back burner because right
• 16:33
  now your wife matters more, you know,
• 16:37
  extra work stuff.
• 16:39
  It's funny.
• 16:40
  I was going to make a post
• 16:40
  about this tomorrow about
• 16:42
  how your boss doesn't own you.
• 16:44
  You get to punch a clock.
• 16:45
  you get a break at work,
• 16:47
  like work stays at work,
• 16:48
  which I think you're pretty
• 16:49
  good at home is home.
• 16:52
  And, and that's it.
• 16:54
  And, and,
• 16:54
  and I think the last thing on
• 16:55
  this is like,
• 16:56
  your wife also knows that
• 16:58
  you're doing a lot, right?
• 16:59
  She knows,
• 17:00
  she knows you're taking on a burden.
• 17:02
  She's going to be patient with you.
• 17:04
  You know that she's going to
• 17:05
  be patient with you.
• 17:06
  Anybody that's being taken
• 17:07
  care of is grateful.
• 17:10
  And if they're not, they should be.
• 17:11
  And then, you know,
• 17:14
  So they're grateful.
• 17:15
  She's grateful for everything, you know,
• 17:17
  so you're doing what you
• 17:19
  can as a husband.
• 17:22
  Yeah.
• 17:23
  And in the most part you're correct,
• 17:25
  but pain makes you say
• 17:27
  things sometimes you don't mean.
• 17:29
  So I go through that as well.
• 17:31
  Um,
• 17:33
  And just to let people, like,
• 17:35
  my wife and I's
• 17:36
  relationship has never been better.
• 17:38
  Like, her and I are doing great.
• 17:41
  She's just going through
• 17:42
  something right now that is
• 17:44
  heavily impacting our lives.
• 17:46
  And I'm just trying to pick up the slack.
• 17:53
  And it's really hard.
• 17:55
  And I'm just doing the best I can.
• 17:58
  And here's something that
• 17:59
  I'm going to actually talk
• 18:00
  to you about too, though,
• 18:01
  with this as well, right?
• 18:03
  You know,
• 18:04
  not disclosing too much of your
• 18:05
  wife's situation,
• 18:06
  but I think some of it we
• 18:08
  both know there are some
• 18:10
  things that she can be
• 18:11
  doing on her end to help
• 18:12
  better the situation.
• 18:14
  And that's frustrating for you as well.
• 18:16
  But knowing that, like,
• 18:19
  you can only pick up so much stuff.
• 18:20
  I lost Carol.
• 18:21
  You lost me for a little bit.
• 18:23
  Oh, well, I was just saying, you know,
• 18:26
  you picking up the slack
• 18:27
  for somebody else who knows
• 18:28
  that they need to pick it
• 18:29
  up a little bit in their own life.
• 18:30
  If you don't take care of yourself,
• 18:33
  who's going to be left to
• 18:34
  take care of you, right?
• 18:36
  You don't want to be that
• 18:37
  burden on somebody else.
• 18:39
  I know I don't want to be
• 18:39
  that burden on somebody else.
• 18:41
  I know that for myself.
• 18:42
  So it's really important for
• 18:44
  you to prioritize your
• 18:45
  health and your fitness and
• 18:47
  your everything and staying
• 18:48
  consistent and
• 18:49
  And not feel guilty or shameful for that.
• 18:53
  And if that means that the
• 18:54
  laundry doesn't get done
• 18:54
  today because you got to do
• 18:56
  some stuff for you,
• 18:57
  like I'm sure she'll be
• 18:59
  able to find a pair of
• 18:59
  clothes to wear for tomorrow.
• 19:01
  I promise.
• 19:02
  If that means that like
• 19:03
  you're doing crock pot
• 19:04
  meals and it's easy for you
• 19:05
  because you don't have to think about it,
• 19:07
  that's what you're doing this week.
• 19:09
  You know what I mean?
• 19:09
  Like you got to be able to
• 19:10
  take what you can get at that point.
• 19:14
  When this week I have like,
• 19:16
  like I have taken care of myself.
• 19:18
  I have eaten well.
• 19:20
  I've done all the things.
• 19:23
  I'm just not sleeping well.
• 19:25
  And I'm, and I'm worried.
• 19:26
  Yeah.
• 19:28
  So enough, enough of that.
• 19:32
  That's where I'm at right now.
• 19:33
  All right.
• 19:34
  But I'm,
• 19:34
  I'm confident that I've set myself
• 19:38
  up for this week really well.
• 19:40
  Tomorrow's my mom's birthday.
• 19:41
  I'm actually taking the rest
• 19:42
  of the week off of work.
• 19:44
  Hell yeah.
• 19:46
  My mom's birthday is tomorrow.
• 19:48
  We're going to go see her this weekend.
• 19:50
  Just kind of get out of the city.
• 19:52
  Go out in the country.
• 19:54
  Kind of chill out a little bit.
• 19:57
  And yeah,
• 19:59
  just try to relax a little bit
• 20:02
  this weekend and see how things go.
• 20:06
  I think that that's going to
• 20:07
  be so good for you.
• 20:08
  And I know that your mom...
• 20:10
  is a very healthy individual,
• 20:11
  which is going to rub off.
• 20:13
  I think she's going to, you're going to,
• 20:14
  you're going to do great.
• 20:15
  So I think that, okay,
• 20:17
  we know that right now,
• 20:19
  mentally you are in a place
• 20:22
  where you can sink or you
• 20:24
  can swim and you're going
• 20:25
  to keep swimming because
• 20:26
  you got all the support in
• 20:27
  the world and you're strong
• 20:29
  and you've been through
• 20:30
  hard shit in your life and
• 20:31
  you're going to keep going.
• 20:32
  I know that.
• 20:34
  Um,
• 20:35
  I saw it was one of my questions I
• 20:37
  haven't asked yet.
• 20:37
  Jake asked,
• 20:38
  have you been going to the gym?
• 20:39
  Um,
• 20:41
  I have been this week.
• 20:42
  I have not because I didn't
• 20:43
  have access to a car.
• 20:44
  Okay.
• 20:46
  But like Monday yesterday
• 20:47
  was Cindy with every four minutes,
• 20:51
  a 200 meter run.
• 20:52
  I can, I did that in my garage.
• 20:54
  It was so easy.
• 20:55
  Okay.
• 20:56
  So you're doing,
• 20:57
  you're doing workouts at home.
• 21:00
  Yeah.
• 21:00
  And then when I have access to the car,
• 21:02
  I go to the gym.
• 21:04
  Well, yeah, but you don't have a, so,
• 21:05
  so you haven't been,
• 21:07
  you probably aren't going
• 21:07
  to make it to the gym this week.
• 21:08
  Realistically.
• 21:09
  Yeah,
• 21:09
  because I'm off the next couple days.
• 21:11
  I can take her to work, drop her off,
• 21:14
  have the car for the day.
• 21:15
  Most important thing is that
• 21:16
  you're getting a workout in.
• 21:17
  A week like this is what I'm saying.
• 21:19
  I'm not worried about you
• 21:20
  doing it at the gym if
• 21:21
  right now convenience is a thing.
• 21:24
  Like I said this,
• 21:25
  I think I forget where I went,
• 21:26
  maybe on my stories.
• 21:28
  Last week,
• 21:28
  because I've been slam busy right now.
• 21:30
  By the way,
• 21:31
  if y'all want to join my jumpstart,
• 21:32
  I'll talk about that a little bit.
• 21:34
  But I realized last Sunday
• 21:37
  that I went to church on
• 21:39
  Sunday and I got my
• 21:41
  groceries and I didn't
• 21:43
  leave my I hadn't left my house Sunday,
• 21:45
  Monday or Tuesday.
• 21:46
  And all I'd done was like
• 21:48
  client check ins and work.
• 21:49
  And I'm like, oh, my God,
• 21:51
  you got to go to the gym today.
• 21:54
  You got to get out of the
• 21:54
  house because I'm like
• 21:56
  going to become a little
• 21:56
  hermit because I can work out at home.
• 21:58
  But yeah, like there's time for like,
• 22:00
  you just got to get out and go, right?
• 22:02
  Like that was, I did the same thing today.
• 22:03
  I'm like, all right.
• 22:04
  I didn't want it to be
• 22:05
  another week where I didn't
• 22:06
  leave my house again.
• 22:06
  So I'm like,
• 22:07
  go to the gym today and make it happen.
• 22:09
  So I did.
• 22:09
  I got to, because you got to sometimes.
• 22:11
  But in those times, like you just got to,
• 22:13
  you got to grind.
• 22:14
  You got, you have to use every hour.
• 22:17
  like judy said it's gorgeous
• 22:19
  here in ohio so sunday
• 22:21
  literally I was doing
• 22:22
  nothing but swinging a
• 22:23
  sledgehammer for like two
• 22:25
  hours yeah trying to get
• 22:27
  these deck po the support
• 22:29
  posts out of the ground
• 22:31
  from where we remove my
• 22:32
  deck and so that was a
• 22:35
  great workout on sunday and
• 22:38
  I literally in my head was
• 22:39
  picturing double banger
• 22:41
  from the crossfit games in like what 2012
• 22:45
  That's a good one.
• 22:46
  Yep.
• 22:46
  Um,
• 22:46
  and just hitting those posts as hard as
• 22:49
  I could with the sledgehammer.
• 22:50
  Yeah.
• 22:52
  Yeah.
• 22:52
  And I think you're, uh,
• 22:53
  I think you're going
• 22:54
  through some shit and
• 22:55
  you're doing an awesome job.
• 22:57
  So nutrition is looking pretty good.
• 22:59
  Um, just kind of looking over some things.
• 23:01
  Your fat intake has still
• 23:02
  been a little bit high, but, um, I, I,
• 23:06
  I have a couple of ideas to fix that.
• 23:08
  Yeah.
• 23:09
  I think that if we have to
• 23:10
  get to the grocery store,
• 23:12
  Yeah.
• 23:12
  But it's not every day.
• 23:14
  You know,
• 23:14
  it was like yesterday was a
• 23:15
  little bit high.
• 23:17
  Um, you're doing fine.
• 23:19
  Simple as fix for you would be honestly,
• 23:21
  just as simple as in the morning,
• 23:23
  because you like to do two
• 23:25
  different types of protein
• 23:27
  and they're both typically higher fat.
• 23:29
  I would say cut your eggs
• 23:31
  down to one egg and do egg
• 23:33
  and egg whites.
• 23:34
  That'd be an easy fix.
• 23:35
  And that's going to set you
• 23:36
  up better for the rest of the week,
• 23:37
  the rest of the day.
• 23:38
  My store was out of egg
• 23:39
  whites when I went over the weekend,
• 23:41
  because that was a change I
• 23:42
  was going to make.
• 23:43
  Yeah.
• 23:44
  And I have not been able to get them.
• 23:46
  I just have to go when they're in stock.
• 23:49
  I would do that.
• 23:50
  I don't know.
• 23:50
  I haven't tried this yet myself,
• 23:53
  but everything goes viral, right?
• 23:57
  When protein powder first came out,
• 23:59
  like people were putting
• 24:00
  protein powder and everything.
• 24:02
  Greek yogurt came out.
• 24:04
  Everybody's using Greek
• 24:04
  yogurt and everything.
• 24:05
  Then it was cottage cheese.
• 24:06
  But I have seen people that
• 24:08
  are using cottage cheese in
• 24:09
  their eggs to bump up the protein.
• 24:11
  And apparently it's delicious.
• 24:13
  I haven't tried it yet myself.
• 24:15
  But I know that growing up,
• 24:17
  we used to always put milk
• 24:18
  in our scrambled eggs.
• 24:19
  So I'm like, maybe it's similar.
• 24:22
  I don't know.
• 24:24
  Because whenever we would make omelets,
• 24:26
  we would always add milk to that.
• 24:29
  but I'm curious that might
• 24:30
  also help you get the
• 24:31
  protein up a little bit,
• 24:32
  keeping the fats down.
• 24:33
  So, um, yeah, I mean, Heidi mentioned,
• 24:36
  yeah,
• 24:37
  you could just obviously get rid of
• 24:38
  the yolk, but I'm like, you,
• 24:40
  you don't want to waste it.
• 24:41
  I don't want to waste the yolk,
• 24:43
  like money going down the drain.
• 24:46
  It's expensive right now.
• 24:47
  So, but yeah, you totally can.
• 24:49
  Bruce said the same thing.
• 24:50
  If you wanted to,
• 24:50
  you can throw the yolk away,
• 24:51
  but I think you're whatever
• 24:53
  we're doing well, um, you're doing right.
• 24:55
  So,
• 24:56
  Oh gosh, the comments in there.
• 24:59
  So, all right.
• 25:01
  So this week,
• 25:02
  when are you leaving to go to your mom's?
• 25:05
  Friday.
• 25:06
  Okay.
• 25:06
  So you're home still from
• 25:08
  now until Friday.
• 25:12
  Have you, has the messages been helpful?
• 25:15
  Do I need to keep doing
• 25:16
  those or do you feel like I
• 25:17
  can take those away and
• 25:18
  you're going to remember to
• 25:18
  do what you got to do?
• 25:20
  They're probably helpful.
• 25:21
  Okay.
• 25:22
  As much as I find them annoying at times.
• 25:24
  Okay,
• 25:25
  let's keep them going because I want
• 25:27
  to make sure that we keep
• 25:30
  them going then.
• 25:31
  I'm going to keep them up.
• 25:33
  And then how many workouts
• 25:35
  do you feel like you can
• 25:36
  commit to this week?
• 25:37
  You got one in your garage.
• 25:39
  Yeah,
• 25:41
  I'll do one tomorrow and Thursday for
• 25:44
  sure.
• 25:44
  And then I'll be out.
• 25:47
  So part of the reason I'm
• 25:48
  going home is to help my
• 25:49
  mom get a lot of stuff out of the shed.
• 25:52
  I'm going to be working that weekend.
• 25:54
  Okay.
• 25:56
  You're just a busy, busy guy right now.
• 25:58
  Yeah.
• 25:59
  All right.
• 25:59
  I'm going to go ahead and
• 26:00
  put this reminder on again.
• 26:01
  Make sure Wednesday, Thursday, Jim,
• 26:05
  and then the weekend working.
• 26:07
  Okay.
• 26:09
  And I'll be back Sunday.
• 26:10
  Awesome.
• 26:11
  All right.
• 26:13
  This week, like I said,
• 26:15
  I feel like aside from you
• 26:16
  having a little bit more
• 26:17
  flexibility on the weekend and
• 26:18
  Your fiber count is looking much better.
• 26:20
  You know,
• 26:22
  I would still really like to get
• 26:24
  it over 30.
• 26:24
  You're still kind of
• 26:27
  walk in the fine line of like 25 ish.
• 26:30
  That's just going to be good
• 26:31
  for your blood sugar.
• 26:32
  And you don't have to do it.
• 26:34
  It's not just vegetables.
• 26:36
  It's also the types of carbs.
• 26:38
  It's really,
• 26:39
  that's where we have to really focus.
• 26:41
  Right.
• 26:41
  Like, so, um, you know, like for instance,
• 26:46
  like, you know, the Welch's fruit packs,
• 26:48
  those are great.
• 26:50
  They're delicious,
• 26:51
  but it's 34 grams of pure sugar.
• 26:54
  Um, if we can change,
• 26:56
  I'm trying to cut out.
• 26:57
  Yeah, exactly.
• 26:57
  So like, those are the things that like,
• 26:59
  so I want to give you some
• 27:00
  tips to replace them with.
• 27:02
  Simple fix there is doing berries instead,
• 27:05
  like some raspberries,
• 27:07
  something like that.
• 27:07
  If you're craving something
• 27:09
  sweet like that, raspberries,
• 27:12
  if you like any kind of melon,
• 27:13
  I don't know what, I live in Florida,
• 27:15
  so I don't know what your
• 27:16
  grocery store seasonally
• 27:18
  have up there.
• 27:19
  We never, I feel like everywhere.
• 27:20
  I just talked up on strawberries,
• 27:23
  blackberries, and I have some grapes.
• 27:27
  That's good.
• 27:28
  And then like any of your, when you're,
• 27:31
  when you're building your meals, it's,
• 27:34
  it's not, it's hard to remember this,
• 27:36
  but like, you know, things like pierogies,
• 27:39
  raviolis,
• 27:41
  those things should be used in moderation,
• 27:44
  like as almost like a
• 27:47
  here and there, like as you're like, Oh,
• 27:49
  like a weekend thing.
• 27:50
  And you're getting better
• 27:51
  about changing those things out.
• 27:52
  So like,
• 27:53
  I only saw that kinds of stuff
• 27:54
  once or twice.
• 27:55
  That's why I'm thinking,
• 27:55
  but like looking for either
• 27:57
  a whole grain pasta and,
• 27:59
  or which you have found those,
• 28:01
  I don't like them,
• 28:02
  but you like those miracle noodles.
• 28:03
  But I think even a whole
• 28:05
  grain pasta would do you better.
• 28:06
  Cause you're going to get more fiber.
• 28:08
  Um,
• 28:08
  that kinds of stuff would be helpful
• 28:10
  for you.
• 28:10
  Uh, you do, you do potatoes.
• 28:13
  If you like sweet potatoes,
• 28:14
  that's another option.
• 28:16
  Um,
• 28:16
  Anything like that for your
• 28:18
  for your main meals is
• 28:19
  going to be helpful, but
• 28:21
  Overall,
• 28:22
  that's going to be my focus is
• 28:23
  getting your fiber over 30 grams.
• 28:25
  And if you want,
• 28:26
  I don't even mind helping you.
• 28:28
  I've done this for a couple of my clients.
• 28:29
  Let me just build you out a sample day.
• 28:31
  What I'll basically do is
• 28:32
  I'll take what your
• 28:34
  traditional day looks like.
• 28:35
  Hey,
• 28:36
  if you just made these couple of
• 28:37
  little swaps,
• 28:38
  you would see how your fiber skyrockets.
• 28:41
  And it might even be adding something in.
• 28:44
  It might even be adding in a
• 28:45
  snack that has higher fiber.
• 28:47
  It might not even be
• 28:48
  changing out much of anything.
• 28:49
  It might be more of an
• 28:50
  additional thing that you
• 28:52
  add in rather than worried
• 28:54
  about taking things out.
• 28:59
  Okay.
• 28:59
  So that would help as well.
• 29:02
  Your weight looks good.
• 29:03
  It's at 282.
• 29:04
  So that's good.
• 29:06
  Obviously things are still
• 29:07
  kind of moving in the right
• 29:07
  direction despite the stress.
• 29:12
  So I feel like anything else
• 29:15
  that you want to kind of
• 29:16
  work on this week?
• 29:16
  I think that this week you did great.
• 29:19
  I think that you've, you know,
• 29:21
  you got a battle ahead of you right now.
• 29:23
  And I feel like you're doing
• 29:26
  the right things for yourself.
• 29:29
  So.
• 29:31
  Okay.
• 29:31
  Yon put about the grapes.
• 29:33
  Those cotton candy grapes are awesome.
• 29:36
  I'm going to be honest though.
• 29:37
  They're, I mean, grapes are great,
• 29:38
  but they are, they're still,
• 29:40
  and not that there's
• 29:40
  nothing wrong with fruit.
• 29:41
  Oh my God.
• 29:41
  If I say this, people are going to be like,
• 29:42
  Oh my God,
• 29:43
  she's saying I can't eat fruit.
• 29:43
  No grapes are pretty high in, in sugar.
• 29:46
  So, and not a lot of fiber, but yeah,
• 29:49
  Um,
• 29:49
  but they're still delicious and they're
• 29:51
  still fine to have.
• 29:52
  So just letting you guys,
• 29:53
  I don't want you guys to
• 29:53
  think I'm telling you not to have any,
• 29:55
  any grapes, have the grapes, but, uh,
• 29:59
  yeah.
• 30:00
  By the way,
• 30:00
