What is going on, everybody?
0:31
Welcome to the Clydesdale
0:32
Media Weight Loss Journey.
0:35
My name is Scott Switz from
0:36
the Clydesdale.
0:37
She is Cheryl Nasso.
0:38
She's my nutrition coach.
0:40
And before we get into
0:41
something about my weight loss journey,
0:44
I need a huge shout out to
0:46
a member of the Clydesdale family.
0:50
It was officially released
0:51
about half an hour ago that
0:54
our very own Carolyn
0:55
Prevost finished fifth in
0:57
the open and won $5,000.
0:58
Woohoo!
0:59
That's awesome.
1:02
Huge, huge shout out to Carolyn Prevost.
1:07
It's funny because she's
1:09
becoming one of my
1:10
favorites very quickly.
1:13
I don't know, just cause I,
1:14
I connect with her and Lex
1:16
like in the DM and I just
1:18
feel like she's somebody
1:20
that I could totally see
1:21
myself having fun times, conversating,
1:25
training with her,
1:26
not on her level anymore, but yeah,
1:30
we announced the top five last Thursday.
1:31
The only change from that
1:33
was Grace Walton was assessed a penalty.
1:37
I saw that she fell from
1:38
first to second and Von Rohrer.
1:44
whatever her first name is,
1:46
went from second to first.
1:48
Wow.
1:53
I don't know how I feel
1:53
about the Open because of
1:55
it only being three workouts.
1:56
But still, it's an amazing feat.
1:58
But I do think that the Open would
2:03
be better if it was five
2:04
when it comes to winning
2:05
the open but I guess it's I
2:07
guess like a single day
2:08
competition it's like
2:09
winning a single day
2:10
competition is really what
2:11
it's like so yeah I'm
2:14
really conflicted with it
2:15
because I think it is a lot
2:17
on affiliate owners yeah to
2:20
set it up I know my gym
2:22
used to go all out for the
2:24
open the five weeks by week
2:26
five everybody's so dead
2:28
Yeah, that's a good point.
2:30
But you get what I'm saying.
2:31
It's kind of like the
2:32
difference between a one
2:33
day CrossFit competition
2:34
versus like a two or three day CrossFit.
2:36
There's only so much.
2:37
There's only, you're looking at it as a,
2:40
as an athlete.
2:41
I'm looking at it as I was
2:43
the head judge for my gym back then.
2:45
Yeah.
2:46
Yeah.
2:46
I gotcha.
2:46
Like getting all the judges
2:48
in and getting all
2:49
everybody set up and all
2:50
the heats assigned.
2:51
And by week five, you're just like,
2:54
please let this be over.
2:55
Yeah.
2:56
I gotcha.
2:57
Well,
2:58
Congratulations, Carolyn.
2:59
Open's over.
3:00
Moving on to quarterfinals.
3:01
25% of people.
3:04
See how that's going to go.
3:05
That'll be the big one.
3:06
I wonder how you're actually
3:07
going to sign up.
3:09
Let's talk about you, though.
3:10
I've been seeing a lot more
3:13
selfies of you posting,
3:15
showing up at the gym,
3:16
which is making me happy.
3:18
How are you feeling being
3:19
back in the community?
3:22
Really good.
3:23
It's funny because
3:26
It's that spring break time.
3:29
So every time I go back,
3:31
there's people that I
3:31
haven't seen in a while.
3:33
So it's like a trickle
3:34
effect as I go back.
3:37
Does that make sense?
3:38
Yeah.
3:41
But it's been good.
3:42
I took the one selfie and
3:45
then Lex texted me and said,
3:47
you need to do this every time.
3:49
And the problem is sometimes
3:50
I just forget.
3:51
Yeah.
3:52
I can't, I can barely walk at the end.
3:54
So like getting to my car,
3:56
last thing I think about is
3:58
taking a selfie after I'm done.
4:00
Well,
4:00
how many days a week are you trying
4:01
to get to the gym realistically?
4:03
So the first two weeks I did
4:04
two days a week.
4:06
This week, I think I'm going to,
4:09
I'm pretty positive.
4:10
I'm going to get three to four.
4:12
Okay.
4:13
And you're still doing stuff
4:14
at home the other days.
4:16
Yeah.
4:17
So I have this new meeting that,
4:20
got scheduled before I
4:21
blocked off my calendar.
4:22
I need that to bleed out and like be done.
4:25
Um, and so that's,
4:27
they keep canceling them.
4:29
So it looks good for the rest of the week.
4:31
Um, I just got to get,
4:33
I just got to get that to
4:34
go away and then I'll be set up for.
4:37
Yeah.
4:39
This last question about that,
4:40
because I know it sounds
4:41
like you're always trying
4:42
to like make it fit.
4:44
What's the worst case
4:45
scenario if you had to go after work?
4:48
Um,
4:54
It's a long story.
4:55
I mean, end of the day,
4:57
like that would not be a
4:59
bad option because you're a
5:00
night owl anyways.
5:02
You know,
5:02
you're not a morning person by any means.
5:06
So not every day,
5:10
but if there was a couple
5:11
of days a week where like
5:12
you need to get to the gym.
5:14
and you go after work,
5:15
like I'm assuming that there's probably,
5:18
I just,
5:19
I guess I'm just comfortable with
5:20
my group at noon.
5:21
It gets, it, it goes back to like,
5:26
I was very imbalanced in my life.
5:28
And like the evening time,
5:30
my time for me and my wife,
5:33
I had a feeling that was
5:33
what was going to come up.
5:35
But I think that it's also
5:36
important that like asking
5:39
yourself is a couple of days a week,
5:43
you go into the gym and,
5:44
really getting obsessive
5:47
it's not but I also learned
5:49
that if I work out in my
5:50
garage there's a really
5:52
good chance my wife comes
5:53
out and joins me okay as
5:55
long as you're getting
5:56
something in I'm fine with
5:59
that but if it's if it's
6:00
you're skipping the gym and
6:02
you're not going at all
6:04
then that's not a good
6:05
thing and that and that's
6:06
also not balanced in a
6:07
relationship either if you're having to
6:10
oh,
6:11
I can't go to the gym after work
6:12
because that's, you know, sacred.
6:15
It's just, at the end of the day,
6:17
on your end, if something can,
6:18
if your wife was like, hey,
6:19
I want to go to a class at 5.30,
6:21
you'd be like, go for it, you know?
6:24
So-
6:26
You know, obviously,
6:27
if every single meal was
6:29
missed because your wife
6:30
was always at the gym,
6:32
that'd be a different story.
6:33
But just something to consider, you know,
6:35
like, hey,
6:37
do you mind if I go to the gym today?
6:38
I know, you know,
6:39
can we do dinner a little
6:40
bit later together?
6:41
I've been getting crushed at
6:43
work and I really like
6:45
would love to be able to go
6:45
to the gym today.
6:46
So just something to think about.
6:47
Right.
6:48
But you have to remember, too,
6:49
that my podcast takes up
6:50
some of my evenings, too.
6:51
So it's it's that balance of it all.
6:55
Yeah.
6:56
Agreed.
6:56
But you don't have a podcast
6:57
every night and you, you know,
6:59
your work schedule.
7:00
So it might be like, if you're,
7:02
if you know, like, Hey, I'm,
7:04
I have a meeting on
7:05
Tuesdays and Thursdays.
7:06
Maybe those days are like, okay,
7:08
I don't have a podcast.
7:09
I'm going to go to the gym
7:09
that day in the afternoon.
7:11
Just, I, we don't have to focus on that,
7:14
but I also want you to realize like,
7:16
we all have to learn to be flexible,
7:18
you know, like,
7:20
If there's a day where you
7:21
don't get to the gym and
7:23
that keeps happening,
7:25
you might have to be flexible sometimes.
7:26
We all get into our comfort
7:27
zone and sometimes we just
7:29
have to shake it up a little bit.
7:31
I think, like I said,
7:31
as long as you're getting something in.
7:34
But just to be honest,
7:35
that's way down the road
7:36
for me right now.
7:37
Not way down the road, but down the road.
7:39
My intensity is not anywhere near
7:43
what it needs to be eventually.
7:46
And I'm getting to the gym
7:48
enough to get my community.
7:50
And I do have a garage gym
7:51
to be able to back it up.
7:54
And I'm happy with that.
7:54
Listen, y'all,
7:56
you got to take a step back
7:57
by thinking the intensity
7:58
is what you need.
8:00
I want you to stop focusing on that.
8:02
I don't, that's what I said.
8:04
As long as you're getting something.
8:05
Intensity is just a word I'm
8:06
using to describe that I am
8:08
very limited in what I can do right now.
8:11
But you're pushing your
8:12
workouts because you're leaving sore.
8:15
You're telling me that you're leaving,
8:16
not walking.
8:17
That's pushing intensity.
8:18
It is, but like, okay.
8:22
That's intensity.
8:23
You don't need to be going
8:24
any more intense.
8:26
You're going at an intensity
8:27
level right now.
8:28
I think that what's happened
8:30
is we all get like this, myself included.
8:32
We're comparing ourselves to
8:33
a previous version where
8:35
what we're doing now would
8:37
have been like a warmup.
8:39
But our current level of
8:40
fitness is making that feel
8:43
pretty darn hard and
8:44
leaving us pretty sore.
8:45
So it's pretty effective.
8:47
Like we're not going to talk
8:48
about the schedule right
8:49
now because I know that
8:50
you're getting workouts in.
8:52
But I'm just saying if it
8:53
gets to be a place where
8:53
like your schedule is
8:54
getting in the way and all
8:56
of a sudden you're not able
8:57
to get to the gym two or
8:58
three times a week,
8:59
you might want to consider, hey,
9:00
I might have to switch to
9:02
an evening class if my
9:03
schedule keeps getting in
9:05
the way of me getting some
9:06
community every couple of days.
9:07
That's all I was saying.
9:09
But we can move on from that topic.
9:14
So Wadzombie says,
9:16
I had a home gym a few
9:17
times and gone to a global gym.
9:20
I can't push myself the way I can.
9:21
And I completely, completely agree.
9:25
Yeah, agreed.
9:26
But that's not where I'm at right now.
9:30
And the thing is,
9:32
do we need to push ourselves that hard?
9:38
for a workout to be effective?
9:40
That's the other question to
9:40
ask ourselves because I've
9:42
been doing CrossFit for a long time,
9:44
just like y'all have.
9:44
And I know when I first started,
9:48
if I didn't leave the workout,
9:49
like feeling like shit, like on my back,
9:53
I'd be like, I didn't go hard enough.
9:56
And I don't do that very often anymore.
10:00
And I'm still getting pretty
10:03
fit and I'm getting strong again.
10:05
Yay.
10:06
This isn't about me though.
10:08
So just, just.
10:09
So I'm in,
10:10
I'm in a position where I'm just
10:11
trying to flush stuff out.
10:12
I'm trying to get back to
10:14
where I can do most things again.
10:17
Yep.
10:17
I am still limited in what I
10:19
learned yesterday is I under fatigue.
10:23
I can't lay on my back.
10:25
Hmm.
10:28
I cannot breathe.
10:29
So there's still some kind
10:31
of fluid in there working its way out.
10:35
I can do it in warmup,
10:37
but the minute I get under fatigue,
10:40
I cannot.
10:41
So like bench press was in
10:42
the workout yesterday.
10:44
So I just, in the middle of the workout,
10:46
switched to seated dumbbell
10:48
strict presses.
10:49
Yeah.
10:51
just so I'm still moving.
10:53
I'm still getting a stimulus
10:56
and I'm not laying on my back.
10:59
Well,
10:59
let's kind of go rolling in away from
11:02
the workouts a little bit and talk.
11:03
I know that you had your
11:04
cardiology follow-up.
11:06
So do you want to fill us in on that?
11:09
Yeah.
11:09
So to close out the
11:11
workout stuff I asked him
11:13
about doing the workouts
11:15
he's all for it keep doing
11:16
it he thinks it's awesome
11:18
um but just listen to my
11:21
body for now if it's
11:23
talking to me modify to
11:25
something else um and the
11:27
other thing he said to me
11:28
is uh no pre-workout yeah I
11:32
would agree he doesn't want
11:33
you jacking your heart rate
11:34
up yeah so which I have not
11:37
been doing yeah but he said
11:39
yeah you don't need that
11:41
I love that a doctor tells a
11:43
CrossFitter to listen to their body.
11:47
Yeah, I know how to do that.
11:50
We are all, I'm just, I'm making a joke.
11:53
We're just notorious for
11:54
like CrossFit communities.
11:56
As a coach, I remember these days,
11:58
you go in to coach a class
12:00
and you see the workouts
12:01
pull-ups and you see that
12:03
guy come in and he's like
12:04
holding his shoulder and
12:05
he's like doing this number
12:07
and he's like stretching and he's this.
12:10
And he's like, I'm like, hey,
12:12
your shoulder.
12:12
Okay.
12:13
It's like, yeah,
12:13
I just got a little funk
12:14
and I'm just going to like
12:15
roll it out a little bit.
12:16
And I'm like, why don't we modify?
12:19
He's like in the workout.
12:20
He's like, no, I'm all right.
12:21
I'm all right.
12:22
Two days later, the guy's like,
12:24
can't lift up my arm.
12:26
It's like, dude, just scale the ring rows.
12:28
We don't know how to listen to our bodies.
12:30
But anyways,
12:31
I'm glad to hear that the
12:32
cardiologist is on board
12:33
with you staying fit.
12:35
Yeah, they also put me on, I have a,
12:39
I had to get one of those cardio mobiles.
12:42
Okay.
12:44
It takes a portable EKG and
12:47
tracks it on my phone.
12:48
Okay.
12:49
That's good.
12:50
So it's a way that if I'm in,
12:53
if I feel weird, I can take it.
12:56
If it detects the irregularity,
12:59
I can send that PDF
13:00
directly to my doctor.
13:01
Okay.
13:02
Gotcha.
13:03
Yeah.
13:05
Well, that's good.
13:06
So how have you been doing
13:08
with steps and moving outside of the gym?
13:09
You see if it's pulling up
13:10
on my Apple health.
13:17
Sorry, I had to cough there.
13:18
That's okay.
13:20
Um, I'm walking a lot.
13:22
I don't know why my watch is not tracking.
13:24
I don't know if it needs cleaned.
13:28
I don't know what's going on.
13:30
Um, it doesn't even track workouts or.
13:35
It's, I don't know.
13:36
It's either that or I got a
13:37
new iPhone like a week and a half ago.
13:40
And ever since everything is
13:41
kind of jacked up.
13:43
Okay.
13:45
Is it on your, do you,
13:46
is there an app on your
13:47
watch for your watch that you,
13:50
that tracks the data?
13:53
There is an aspect of my
13:56
watch that tracks that.
13:59
But I don't know what's going on with it.
14:01
Yeah.
14:03
Yeah.
14:04
I mean,
14:05
I don't know if it's the phone and
14:07
the settings changing
14:08
because it's a new phone
14:09
and everything reset.
14:11
Like I can see your weekly averages,
14:13
but I can't see your dailies.
14:16
And that's really weird.
14:19
Oh no, I can, I can see your dailies,
14:21
but I mean,
14:22
the highest I'm seeing is a 4,500.
14:26
So I don't, yeah, like you said,
14:27
it might be something funky with your
14:31
watch but I would definitely
14:32
be checking because it's
14:33
it's definitely tracking
14:34
something but you know not
14:37
maybe tracking all of them
14:38
or if that sounds about
14:39
right that might be about
14:41
right based on your
14:42
schedule you know like we
14:44
went well I went for a long
14:45
walk last night with my dog
14:47
and I worked out yesterday
14:48
and it barely tracked any
14:49
steps at all well maybe
14:51
that's realistically all
14:51
you had though I mean when
14:53
you say a long walk with
14:54
your dog if you go for a 30
14:56
minute walk that's probably about
15:00
Maybe 2000 steps.
15:02
I mean, we're talking two hour walk.
15:06
One hour walk, double the half hour.
15:08
Okay.
15:09
One hour walk.
15:11
So if I walk an hour,
15:14
I'm probably going to be at
15:15
about 8,000 steps.
15:16
Right.
15:16
That's what I'm telling you.
15:20
Like,
15:21
And I told you like last week I went and I,
15:23
and I filmed Rudy and I
15:25
walked around his gym like
15:26
the whole time getting
15:28
different angles and it
15:29
never recorded hardly a step.
15:32
Like, so I don't,
15:33
maybe I need to get a new watch.
15:35
I don't know.
15:35
Maybe what you can do is
15:36
when you go for a walk,
15:37
turn on the walk as a fitness thing.
15:41
Try that this time.
15:43
Okay.
15:43
So whenever you go for a walk,
15:45
turn on walk.
15:47
like whatever it says,
15:48
record fitness or whatever, like on my,
15:50
on my Apple watch,
15:50
it says record workout.
15:52
And it gives me the option,
15:53
like click to record a walk
15:55
and it will record the walk this way.
15:57
I can say, Hey,
15:57
he's actually going for a walk.
16:00
Um, but just cause I'm,
16:01
I'm checking in on all the little things.
16:03
Okay.
16:03
Now we're going to go into, uh,
16:05
into Scott's nutrition.
16:07
So what is going on, Jake?
16:11
What is bringing,
16:11
what are we talking about here?
16:14
I started talking about
16:15
walking and now I see notes
16:17
about notes about erections and sausages.
16:20
So I don't know what I
16:21
missed in the chat here, but Oh,
16:23
here we go.
16:25
Working out is like cooking sausages.
16:27
If you go too fast,
16:27
you'll burn them and not do
16:28
them properly.
16:29
It takes you long.
16:31
You're not going to eat.
16:32
Oh, interesting.
16:34
Heidi told me not to read his comments.
16:36
So I'm just going to stop there.
16:37
Although he did mention that
16:38
you got a haircut.
16:40
I did.
16:41
Yeah, it does look nice.
16:42
First one since I went in the hospital.
16:45
Yeah.
16:45
All right.
16:46
Well, now that's done,
16:47
let's kind of go into nutrition.
16:48
So I did notice that last
16:51
week was a little off.
16:53
So just kind of fill me in, you know,
16:55
Monday, you had a good day,
16:57
solid day log.
16:58
Tuesday, you only had breakfast and lunch.
17:03
And then Wednesday, you had breakfast,
17:06
lunch, and dinner logged.
17:09
No snacks.
17:10
Thursday was nothing.
17:12
Friday was nothing.
17:15
Saturday was a normal day.
17:18
Little low on protein.
17:21
Sunday seemed like a normal day.
17:22
So I guess fill me in on
17:23
like the later part of the week.
17:26
So again, I thought,
17:29
unless I'm dreaming it,
17:30
I thought I entered stuff in to my phone.
17:34
I don't know what's going on.
17:35
Um,
17:38
I ate normally those two days.
17:41
So I don't, I don't understand.
17:42
Yeah.
17:44
So let's talk about this.
17:45
Cause this is something that
17:45
I think that we got to address.
17:48
All right.
17:49
When it comes to you entering your food,
17:52
right?
17:52
When are you entering your food at?
17:56
So I usually enter the first
17:58
two meals at around lunchtime.
18:00
Okay.
18:01
And then I eat dinner and I
18:03
log all that right after lunch.
18:05
Okay.
18:06
So when you log your food,
18:08
it shows up in the app.
18:11
Yes.
18:11
What I see.
18:12
Yeah.
18:13
And it's, and it syncs on the computer.
18:15
Like I've used my fitness pal.
18:17
It's got a computer desktop and that.
18:19
So if you're not, if you're,
18:22
you have to be logging it because you're,
18:26
if you didn't log it, like,
18:28
how are you checking to make sure like,
18:29
all right, I'm on track for my day.
18:32
I'm going to hit my nutrition targets.
18:33
I'm not like I'm,
18:36
I just want to know how
18:37
you're doing that if you're
18:38
not actually taking a look at it.
18:40
Because I would be after lunch,
18:42
if I go back in there, I'm like, oh,
18:43
it didn't seem to save.
18:45
I would have been like, okay,
18:46
let me take a look at what
18:47
was logged and not logged.
18:49
Maybe it didn't save right.
18:51
Like you're not getting that
18:52
happening to you or you're
18:54
not addressing that.
18:56
I haven't been this week, no.
18:59
Because I want to check in
18:59
on that kinds of stuff.
19:00
Because I don't want you
19:01
starting to slip up on your
19:02
tracking and all that kinds of stuff.
19:04
And, you know, oh, I just, you know,
19:05
I was pretty much eating the same thing.
19:07
Because I know you don't eat
19:08
the same thing every day.
19:09
You eat some of the same things,
19:11
but not every meal is the same.
19:12
And I don't want us to get lax again,
19:14
because that's when you
19:14
stop taking care of yourself.
19:16
And I want to make sure that
19:18
just because you're out of
19:18
the clear with the doctors,
19:20
that you're not starting to, you know,
19:24
kind of take the foot off
19:25
the gas a little bit.
19:26
I want you being smooth sailing.
19:29
I mean, I tracked all weekend and,
19:32
and checked at night and
19:35
saw where I was at.
19:37
Yep.
19:37
Protein is still a little bit low.
19:40
So that's going to be the
19:41
main thing that I really
19:42
want to focus on today is
19:44
just getting the protein up, you know?
19:47
So I think it really comes
19:49
down to just having one
19:51
more snack or including
19:54
protein with your snack.
19:56
You really don't snack a whole bunch,
19:59
but when you do,
20:00
I want you trying to find a
20:02
way to get some protein in
20:03
with that snack.
20:06
That's really where you're missing that.
20:09
In terms of food quality,
20:11
I do see you getting in more veggies,
20:13
which I love.
20:15
I think that you're doing a
20:17
good job with the grains.
20:18
Let me just take a look at the fiber.
20:19
Again,
20:21
it's kind of hard because I really
20:23
only have
20:26
Uh, one, two,
20:28
I've got four days really
20:30
where I can take a look at everything,
20:32
but for the most part,
20:33
fibers over close to 30, which I'm good.
20:36
How's your, how's your gut been?
20:37
Uh, much, much better.
20:41
Okay.
20:41
Burping is getting better.
20:43
Yep.
20:43
Good sleep.
20:47
For most nights, it's pretty good.
20:51
Sunday night was not great,
20:53
but the rest of the nights
20:54
have been even better than before.
20:57
Okay.
20:58
And what about your appetite?
21:04
It hasn't been... Like
21:08
you're usually getting a
21:09
couple of snacks in and
21:10
right now I feel like
21:11
you're kind of... I have
21:13
not been hungry the last few days.
21:17
Now, usually like after I work out,
21:19
it's hard for me to eat.
21:20
Like I really have to force myself.
21:23
But yesterday I didn't have to.
21:25
But then I wasn't hungry for snacks.
21:28
Yeah.
21:29
So like so far today,
21:30
you have nothing logged so far today.
21:33
Right.
21:34
So when do you typically log
21:36
your food for today?
21:37
So Tuesdays are my busiest day.
21:41
Like I have zero time.
21:42
I'm like catching things in the middle.
21:45
Um, so it would be after this podcast,
21:47
I would log.
21:49
And how do you plan?
21:50
I think, but the reason I'm says,
21:53
I think this is why you're
21:53
missing the mark on your protein,
21:56
because it's now going to be fourth.
21:57
It's four 30.
21:58
We're going to get off here.
22:00
You probably have some loose ends stuff to,
22:02
to, to, to finish up.
22:03
Then you're going to get ready for dinner.
22:05
And now you're trying to log
22:07
and figure out how much
22:08
protein you've already hit
22:09
for today and where you're
22:11
at with your calories and
22:12
then trying to finish off the night.
22:13
And I think that that's
22:14
where you're missing the
22:15
mark a little bit.
22:16
So I think that we need to get you,
22:17
I think at breakfast time,
22:20
like go ahead and log breakfast, lunch,
22:22
and a snack.
22:22
Then there's another dinner
22:24
as your variable.
22:25
And this way you can have
22:26
that flexibility for dinnertime, you know,
22:29
before, before your day gets crazy busy,
22:31
I would do it in the
22:32
beginning of your day.
22:34
when you're not having to
22:35
worry about things or
22:36
during one of those
22:37
wonderful meetings you have
22:38
where you can just be
22:39
zoning out and not thinking
22:41
about work for five minutes.
22:44
Yeah.
22:45
That's where,
22:45
and I'm only doing this
22:47
because I know that you
22:48
have goals and like, I care about you.
22:51
And if I don't be honest with what I need,
22:53
then we're not going to get further.
22:54
So like right now,
22:55
I think we need to get you
22:57
a little bit more
22:57
accountable to pre-tracking
22:59
because you're still not
23:01
hitting consistently on
23:02
your protein numbers.
23:03
And when I say hitting them,
23:04
you don't have to be like on the dot,
23:06
but like being at 105 grams
23:08
of protein a day is just not enough.
23:11
You know, I want to get that number up 125,
23:13
69 grams.
23:14
Like I want to get that number up.
23:17
So that's what I want you to
23:18
focus on this week.
23:20
Okay.
23:22
Okay.
23:23
Scale wise, you know,
23:25
your weight seems to be moving down.
23:28
So 284.2, that was today.
23:31
Yep.
23:32
Okay.
23:33
And I mean, that's motivating, but again,
23:35
I don't want it to be like, you know,
23:37
missing the mark on what
23:38
matters in terms of your health.
23:40
You know, when it comes to losing weight,
23:43
people have to realize this,
23:45
your body is not,
23:47
when you're losing weight
23:49
and you're not getting in enough protein,
23:52
your body is going to want
23:54
to utilize and burn off muscle.
23:58
why because muscle is
24:00
expensive when it comes to
24:02
being in a calorie deficit
24:04
remind yourself that you
24:05
are taking away energy from
24:06
your body you're pulling
24:08
from your bank account okay
24:11
and your muscle tissue is
24:13
expensive it requires
24:15
energy so in a calorie
24:17
deficit your body is going
24:19
to be like okay I really
24:20
want to hold on to this energy
24:23
What can I get rid of that
24:24
is costing me so much energy?
24:28
Oh, this muscle tissue right here.
24:31
And this is why it's really
24:32
even more important when
24:33
somebody is not lifting often,
24:36
which you're getting back
24:36
into the gym to ensure that
24:38
they're getting in enough
24:39
protein because people
24:40
focus so much on the scale
24:43
and they're not focusing on
24:44
the fact that you want to lose fat.
24:47
You don't want to lose
24:47
weight to stay the same body fat.
24:50
You want to lose fat.
24:52
So we've got to get that
24:53
protein number up.
24:55
That's going to make the
24:56
biggest changes in your physique,
24:58
how you look,
25:00
and also your blood
25:01
biomarkers and all that
25:02
kind of stuff as well.
25:04
So that's why I'm really
25:06
pushing the protein this week.
25:10
Heidi wants pictures.
25:17
You're being quiet right now.
25:19
Well, no, I'm just thinking.
25:22
Yeah.
25:23
Just thinking about what?
25:25
The picture thing.
25:26
I don't know.
25:27
You don't need to do that.
25:28
Yeah.
25:29
That's just a lot for me.
25:30
We can't even get you to
25:31
take a selfie at the gym.
25:32
We're not taking photos of
25:33
your food every day.
25:35
Although I did think it would be cool.
25:36
I did one of these recently
25:38
of what I eat in a day.
25:39
It would be really cool to
25:40
have like a Scott's what I eat in a day,
25:43
but we can,
25:43
we can maybe do that next week.
25:46
Like have you post.
25:48
Okay.
25:48
we can do it like we're not every day,
25:50
but like have a,
25:50
what we could even do it on this podcast,
25:53
show the photos too.
25:55
You can post on your stories
25:56
and we can highlight it here,
25:58
but that would be cool for
26:00
us to kind of see here's
26:01
what I eat in a day, breakfast, lunch,
26:03
snack, dinner, snack, whatever it is.
26:07
But I really want to get
26:08
that protein number up for sure.
26:10
So.
26:11
Okay.
26:12
Yeah, we can do that.
26:13
Yeah.
26:14
So, um,
26:16
We will settle for a selfie
26:18
from Cheryl every day.
26:19
Nick, I think we're,
26:20
I think maybe Nick is
26:21
trying to ask me at the
26:22
dinner or something.
26:26
I'm just kidding.
26:27
I'm just kidding.
26:28
I got to put my school girl,
26:29
my school teacher glasses on then maybe.
26:33
So, but what is Jake talking about here?
26:36
Everything we eat ever played beer, man.
26:38
I'm looking at some of these, uh,
26:41
Now we're talking drinking games.
26:43
We got, we got to watch this guy, Jake,
26:44
man,
26:45
talking about sausages and erections
26:47
is now he's bringing up
26:48
drinking pints of beers.
26:53
Interesting how things can
26:54
just go off in different
26:56
directions on this episode.
26:59
All right.
26:59
So I'm in my life.
27:00
I was beer man a lot.
27:03
Not me.
27:03
I was never really a beer drinker.
27:05
I was, you know,
27:07
it's going to be so funny.
27:07
You guys probably wouldn't.
27:08
What would you think if you
27:10
were to guess what my drink
27:12
of choice would have been?
27:14
What do you think it would have been?
27:23
Gin and tonic.
27:27
Oh man.
27:28
If I was to guess yours,
27:29
I think that you're a craft
27:31
beer kind of guy.
27:34
Um, yeah.
27:35
Later in life.
27:36
That definitely was.
27:37
Yeah.
27:38
That's what I switched to.
27:40
Growing up.
27:41
I, and when I say growing up twenties,
27:44
when I actually used to drink,
27:45
it was Jaeger Meister.
27:46
I love me some Jaeger Meister.
27:50
Jaeger Meister and Jaeger
27:52
bombs ever had an Irish car bomb.
27:56
Yes, ma'am.
27:57
Man.
27:58
I couldn't even think about
28:00
drinking one of those right now, but,
28:02
and Guinness dark beer.
28:05
It's probably the furthest
28:06
thing from anybody's
28:08
thoughts of what I would be drinking,
28:10
but that's what I used to drink.
28:11
And now I don't.
28:13
I love bourbon,
28:15
but my favorite liquor is rum.
28:18
Anything with rum.
28:19
Yeah.
28:20
And then during the winter,
28:23
I love like a dark beer, like Stout,
28:25
Porter.
28:25
Yeah.
28:26
That's like I was Guinness.
28:27
I like the Guinness.
28:30
During the summer, I like an IPA.
28:32
Now I just don't really drink.
28:34
Yeah.
28:35
I haven't had a drop of
28:37
alcohol in a while.
28:38
It's a waste of calories for me.
28:41
And I get it.
28:41
Some people need that for me.
28:44
I'm like 25 carbs.
28:46
I could totally do some food.
28:49
I'd rather have the chips.
28:51
That's just me.
28:52
But yeah.
28:54
So Chris says, lost my pointer here.
28:58
There we go.
28:58
30 pack was my favorite brand.
29:02
even in my biggest drinking
29:03
days I was a beer snob if
29:06
I'm drinking then it better
29:07
taste good yeah like I
29:09
didn't I never got into the
29:10
cheap stuff like the
29:11
coronas or the uh uh like
29:14
even worse like bush or
29:17
milwaukee's best or oh man
29:20
oh how about cores that was
29:22
a pretty cheap beer too
29:23
right yeah you're that's
29:25
still high end for what
29:26
some of the stuff my friends would drink
29:30
When I was in high school
29:31
and we were drinking,
29:32
we would drink cheap shit too.
29:35
Absolute vodka.
29:39
You're really bougie.
29:40
If you think that's bottom of the barrel.
29:43
There was another one that was worse.
29:46
Not absolute.
29:49
It wasn't Smirnoff,
29:50
but I believe it began with
29:51
an S. I can't think of the
29:52
name of it right now.
29:54
That's how long ago it was.
29:57
So we have,
29:58
we have Kroger shopping stores
30:00
here and they have their
30:01
own brand of vodka.
30:03
And that's what my daughter,
30:05
when she went to college, she said, we,
30:08
we drank shitty K and that
30:10
was Kroger vodka.
30:12
We drank horrible stuff.
30:14
So I don't know.
30:16
But anyways, this is not an alcohol show.
30:18
This is a, this is a nutrition show.
30:21
But I guess alcohol is a part of that.
30:23
So, but yeah.
30:24
So what about this week?
30:25
Anything coming up this week for you?
30:27
Easter.
30:29
Oh, that's true.
30:30
That's, this is a good thing.
30:31
So good Friday and also Easter Sunday.
30:35
So you have Easter plans with your family?
30:37
Yeah.
30:37
My mom is coming over.
30:39
My nephew is smoking a
30:42
brisket and it's been made into pastrami.
30:45
Ooh,
30:46
that's different for our Easter dinner.
30:49
Yeah.
30:49
So pastrami may be my
30:52
favorite thing in the world.
30:57
So yeah, super stoked about that.
30:58
My grandfather used to love
31:00
pastrami sandwiches, pastrami on rye.
31:03
I was definitely more of a Reuben,
31:07
corned beef, little sauerkraut,
31:10
Swiss cheese,
31:11
and the old Thousand Island dressing.
31:12
That was my thing.
31:14
But he liked the pastrami on rye.
31:15
So that's good.
31:16
So your mom's coming.
31:17
Do you guys have kids or
31:19
anything that you have to entertain?
31:20
Easter egg hunting and all
31:21
that stuff or no?
31:23
I don't think so.
31:24
Not this time.
31:25
Yeah.
31:26
My nephew will probably do
31:27
something with him.
31:27
We'll do an Easter dinner
31:29
and that's pretty much what
31:30
we're going to do.
31:31
So obviously church,
31:32
I'll go to church good Friday and Sunday.
31:35
Um, so, uh,
31:37
wide zombie rabbit is lean meat healthy.
31:40
So just catch Easter bunny.
31:43
Yeah.
31:43
Roasted on spit.
31:45
Yeah.
31:48
But yeah, well that's,
31:49
that's going to be a fun weekend.
31:50
So I think the main thing
31:51
this week is just really
31:52
getting you back into being
31:53
consistent with,
31:55
your tracking,
31:56
obviously Easter meal
31:57
doesn't have to be tracked.
31:58
You can take that day and
32:00
enjoy with your family.
32:01
Just like I tell all of my clients,
32:03
you know,
32:04
if you probably don't get an
32:05
Easter basket at this point in your life,
32:07
or do you,
32:08
does your wife get you an Easter basket?
32:10
I don't think so.
32:10
Yeah.
32:11
My mom still gets me Easter candy.
32:14
She does, but she's evolved.
32:16
She she's kind of learned what I,
32:18
what I will eat now.
32:20
So she's not,
32:23
she'll get like dark
32:23
chocolate almonds or like whatever.
32:25
She'll,
32:25
she'll find things that she'll
32:26
think I'll eat.
32:27
So, and it'll last me for like six months.
32:30
She knows I love my favorite
32:32
is Reese's are probably the
32:34
one candy that I do really like,
32:36
but it's only the seasonal ones.
32:38
Like the Reese's eggs,
32:40
the Reese's pumpkins,
32:42
the Reese's Christmas trees, the hearts.
32:45
It's not even like the
32:46
little Reese's that I like,
32:47
but the actual,
32:48
cause they have more peanut butter.
32:50
So she'll probably get me some of those.
32:52
So I'm not a chocolate guy,
32:54
but I love my favorite
32:56
candy in the world is jelly beans.
32:59
Yeah.
33:00
The real jelly beans, like the,
33:02
like the old fashioned ones,
33:03
or do you like the,
33:04
like the jelly bellies and the like,
33:06
cause you know,
33:07
obviously the old fashioned
33:08
ones I'm talking about,
33:09
like the ones that you would get,
33:10
like the, what were they called?
33:11
Bracks, braches.
33:13
Is that the brand?
33:14
Like the real old, yeah.
33:15
Like the regular traditional jelly beans.
33:17
No, I'm the same way.
33:18
Starburst jelly beans.
33:19
No.
33:20
If it's made by a jelly company,
33:21
it's probably the best.
33:23
So like Welch's is making jelly beans now.
33:25
Those are the ones I like.
33:27
I like the Starburst jelly beans.
33:29
I like those too.
33:31
When those came out, I was like, oh,
33:32
these are awesome.
33:33
But I like those.
33:35
And I like Jelly Bellies,
33:36
but I like the Starburst ones the best.
33:39
Those are my favorite.
33:39
I don't want my jelly bean
33:41
to taste like popcorn.
33:42
Yeah, I don't buy those ones.
33:44
I do like going to the Jelly
33:46
Belly stores where you can get your own
33:49
pick them out.
33:50
They do have some gross flavors though.
33:52
Yeah.
33:53
And I never got into the whole, like,
33:55
you know how you can like take a,
33:57
take one of these and one
33:58
of these and it tastes like
33:59
strawberry cheesecake or
34:00
you did get all that into all that stuff.
34:03
But, um, but yeah, well, well, cool.
34:06
Well,
34:06
hopefully you'll get some Easter
34:07
candy and, uh, fit that into your plan.
34:09
Don't let your blood sugar, by the way,
34:11
how's your blood sugar been this week?
34:12
Good.
34:13
We're now in the one teens.
34:17
So another 10 points down.
34:21
Yeah, doing well.
34:23
Awesome.
34:24
So I think that you're on
34:25
the track to get off of the medications.
34:26
I think that you will be.
34:28
Hey man,
34:29
this is nutrition is candy and alcohol.
34:31
I mean, that's part of it.
34:33
In fact, Nick was on my,
34:34
I did a podcast this
34:35
morning on carnivore.
34:37
Uh,
34:37
so if y'all haven't had a chance to
34:38
listen to that one, you can, but I mean,
34:41
talked about the fact that
34:42
like life is moderation, you know,
34:44
like shouldn't feel guilty
34:45
for enjoying a little bit
34:47
of chocolate on Easter or a
34:49
few jelly beans.
34:49
There's nothing wrong with that.
34:51
Now, if every day you're just, you know,
34:53
filling your diet with
34:55
chocolate and jelly beans,
34:55
that's a different story.
34:56
So.
34:58
Heidi actually said,
34:59
just eat extra pastrami for more protein.
35:01
Yeah, it's a whole bunch of sodium.
35:03
And I also talked about
35:05
today on the podcast,
35:07
the whole... Extra sodium?
35:09
Yeah.
35:10
It's a lot of sodium.
35:11
Salty.
35:13
Pastrami.
35:15
Isn't it cured?
35:17
It's pickled.
35:18
Yeah, it's cured, right?
35:19
They use a lot of salt.
35:23
I guess less if you're making it at home,
35:25
more if you're buying it store-bought.
35:27
But what I was going to say
35:29
was people talk about the
35:34
whole meat being linked to cancer thing.
35:38
And people don't recognize
35:39
that like the main reason
35:41
that there's one specific
35:43
factor that really
35:45
differentiates the whole
35:46
meat link to cancer.
35:47
It's talked about my podcast today is like,
35:49
if you're charring your meat,
35:51
you're smoking your meat,
35:52
you're doing that stuff.
35:53
You are, you are putting yourself in,
35:57
you're exposing yourself to carcinogens,
35:59
not telling you not to
36:00
smoke your food and not telling you that.
36:02
But like when people talk
36:03
about the cancer link with
36:05
protein and animal protein,
36:07
that really is the one
36:08
thing that they're not
36:09
considering is the way you
36:10
cook your protein does
36:12
expose you to different things, you know?
36:14
So like you, they tell you not to,
36:16
you shouldn't be like
36:17
literally burning your food.
36:19
Although we all like that,
36:20
like nothing tastes better
36:21
than like the crusty skin,
36:23
unlike protein that's been on the grill.
36:24
So yeah.
36:25
Yeah.
36:26
If you're burning your food on a smoker,
36:28
you're doing it wrong.
36:29
Well,
36:30
the smoke in general is meant to not be,
36:33
you know,
36:33
ingested is what they're saying.
36:35
I'm just going down the
36:36
rabbit hole of why people are like, oh,
36:38
protein and animal proteins
36:39
linked to cancer.
36:40
It's like, it's not the protein.
36:41
It's usually the method of cooking.
36:44
I wanna put this up here
36:46
that some of us do not have
36:47
an internal moderator, sadly.
36:49
So here's the deal is we all
36:51
do have an internal moderator,
36:53
but when it comes to the
36:57
problem is that we're no
36:59
longer listening to our
37:00
internal moderator.
37:02
We are no longer living in a
37:04
time where there is limited
37:08
access to food and all we
37:10
have access to is plants and animals.
37:13
You can find food on every corner.
37:17
You can smell food in the kitchen cooking.
37:20
You can go to your cupboard.
37:21
So there's food everywhere.
37:23
And there's also a lot of
37:26
thoughts around foods and
37:28
beliefs about foods and
37:31
people having beliefs about
37:34
what they need to be doing with foods.
37:36
I shouldn't be eating that.
37:37
I can't be doing this.
37:39
If you have two kids playing
37:40
in a playground and
37:43
you ask a kid if you want
37:44
something and he's like, no,
37:47
I don't want that.
37:47
But then the other kid
37:48
starts playing with it and
37:51
now he wants it and he can't have it.
37:53
And you tell him he can't have it.
37:54
He wants it more.
37:55
It's like, it's just common nature.
37:57
It's like human nature is
37:58
that when we tell ourselves
37:59
that we can't have something,
38:01
we suddenly want it more.
38:03
It makes it more desirable.
38:04
So our internal moderator is no longer,
38:08
we're not honoring it
38:09
anymore because people are
38:11
so one exposed to the fact
38:14
that they can have food
38:14
whenever they want.
38:15
And two,
38:16
but also trying to make sense of
38:18
the external signals that
38:20
they're getting from all of the,
38:22
all of the thoughts that are being fed,
38:24
you know, whether it's,
38:25
you shouldn't have this, this is bad,
38:27
this is good, all that kinds of stuff.
38:29
So
38:30
It just ends up making it that.
38:32
And add to that people that
38:34
are always trying to
38:35
control their weight.
38:37
If you're always trying to
38:38
watch your calories and
38:40
lose fat and never just
38:42
letting yourself eat to satiety,
38:45
now you have other signals
38:47
internally that your body
38:48
is shelling out leptin and ghrelin,
38:51
saying, hey,
38:52
I'm hungry because you're not
38:54
feeding me enough.
38:55
And it's going to make you
38:55
crave those things.
38:57
And I say this because I
38:58
love when a client
39:00
has dealt with these issues
39:01
and they start working with
39:03
me and they're like,
39:04
I can't believe I finally
39:06
feel like after so many
39:07
years I can have a slice of
39:09
cake and not feel like I
39:11
have to eat five slices of cake.
39:13
Or I can actually control
39:15
myself and enjoy myself.
39:17
Or I can say no and not feel
39:19
guilty about it.
39:19
It's something I feel very
39:21
passionate about.
39:22
I love helping people find balance.
39:24
I just want to say that.
39:26
Yeah.
39:29
All right.
39:30
Well, so extra pastrami, extra protein.
39:35
Sausages, erections.
39:37
Keep the fiber up.
39:39
Yep, for sure.
39:40
So here we go again.
39:43
Jake and this talk is just,
39:46
we're going to end up
39:47
getting banned from YouTube.
39:48
I got to stop talking about it.
39:50
But anyways, well,
39:51
I guess we'll talk next
39:52
week and we'll get to recap
39:53
Easter and hopefully we'll
39:55
have some solid workouts in this week.
39:57
Sounds good.
39:59
With that, we will head out for the day.
40:02
And thank you for everybody in the chat.
40:05
We will catch everybody next
40:06
time on Gladstone Media
40:08
Weight Loss Journey.
40:09
Bye, guys.
