  Hey, everybody. Good morning from the chicken
• 0:30
  coop. So we are on Part 2 of recovery
• 0:32
  week after the holiday of Thanksgiving.
• 0:35
  And we are talking today about the days moving forward are
• 0:40
  green days. So what do green days mean to
• 0:43
  me? Well, green days are days when
• 0:45
  you're going to eat more things that are from the earth, more
• 0:49
  things that are natural from the earth than you are manufactured
• 0:53
  items. And if you can do that, you're
• 0:56
  going to feel immensely better right away because most of those
• 0:59
  things have more hydration in them.
• 1:02
  They don't come from a box, they come from you taking the time to
• 1:06
  prepare things for yourself and have them be as fresh as
• 1:09
  possible, Hence the whole thing, Green days.
• 1:11
  So I have a client that said, well you know.
• 1:15
  Is it just green food? And I started laughing.
• 1:17
  They said, well, you could put that on there, except leave out
• 1:19
  the Jolly Ranchers, because the Jolly Ranchers are not
• 1:23
  considered green other than their color.
• 1:26
  So this is a hard process, my friends.
• 1:29
  It's not easy to say. I'm going to just go ahead and
• 1:32
  do. It's kind of like a whole 30
• 1:33
  thing where you're basically eating something that's from the
• 1:36
  Earth. It's very clean.
• 1:39
  It's, you know, meats and it's no processing involved Meats,
• 1:43
  veggies, fruits. That's pretty much it.
• 1:46
  If you kind of go down that road with it, I will promise you if
• 1:50
  you do that, everything changes in your body, having done whole
• 1:54
  30 many times and doing it now myself moving forward.
• 1:59
  Until the Christmas holiday, which is the one we celebrate.
• 2:02
  So moving forward with that, I will for sure be doing this
• 2:06
  whole 30 again because I don't want to feel like.
• 2:10
  Crap. Going into Christmas, I really
• 2:12
  want to feel good. And so I know that the only way
• 2:15
  for me to do that is to limit my sugar intake because it is so
• 2:19
  simple to just grab a cookie as you walk by.
• 2:22
  They're they're sitting right there.
• 2:23
  They're like on the on the counter.
• 2:25
  And you know, my thing is having a teenage boy, I always have
• 2:29
  things for him to have snacks. He's he can be an endless pit.
• 2:33
  So. I've always got things going on
• 2:36
  and I might make him something that has sugar in it, but I have
• 2:40
  to discipline myself not to touch it.
• 2:42
  Now here's what's interesting about that.
• 2:44
  I know I'm capable of doing it. I can, Kate.
• 2:46
  I've done it many times. Do I like doing it?
• 2:49
  No. And is it fun for me?
• 2:51
  No. Will I do it anyway?
• 2:54
  Yes, because I want the outcome. And I have to keep reminding
• 2:57
  myself of the outcome, Reminding myself of the outcome.
• 3:01
  Because if I focus on that. If I focus.
• 3:04
  On the outcome, then, I know I'm going to feel a heck of a lot
• 3:07
  better knowing that I've taken care of my body and my mind
• 3:11
  going into it. I want to feel good about the
• 3:14
  holidays. I don't want to feel drained by
• 3:17
  the holidays. I want to feel lifted up.
• 3:19
  And the physical portion of the program is where it really
• 3:23
  starts. If you can get your body moving
• 3:26
  and you've put your mind in the right space to say body 1st, and
• 3:30
  then I'm going to actually feel myself taking up easier, that is
• 3:33
  absolutely a true fact. That's why I will say when
• 3:36
  somebody's feeling you know, down or having moments of, you
• 3:41
  know, uncertainty, it's like go for a walk, clear your head.
• 3:43
  Because when the body is in motion, everything starts to
• 3:46
  move so. First things first, green days.
• 3:51
  Get rid of the crap that should not be in your house.
• 3:54
  And I am using that word a lot today because it's crap and it
• 3:57
  needs to get out of the house, move it out, take it out of your
• 4:00
  range, cut it down. Or in my case, what I end up
• 4:04
  doing for the stuff with that does that I do.
• 4:06
  Let my son have. And if he has cereal or has
• 4:09
  anything, I make sure I put it on it for Lucas.
• 4:13
  That way my brain goes, oh, right, you did not buy this for
• 4:16
  yourself. Stay far away from it.
• 4:18
  And and it helps. It may sound silly, but it
• 4:20
  really helps. So set yourself up.
• 4:23
  Go buy the stuff that you want to use and don't just leave it
• 4:27
  sitting in the refrigerator. Actually prep it.
• 4:29
  Like, chop the vegetables so that they're ready and easy to
• 4:32
  use when you don't feel like doing it when you come home from
• 4:35
  work. Prep yourself with You're going
• 4:38
  to go to out for the day, make a protein shake, take it with you
• 4:42
  so you're prepped, put it in a thermos.
• 4:44
  Remind yourself that you have ways to be healthy if you
• 4:48
  choose, and Chick-fil-A is not one of them.
• 4:50
  Pulling up to the drive through. Is it healthier than McDonald's?
• 4:54
  I think we can all vote yes on that one.
• 4:57
  However, do we really want to go down the road of actually
• 5:00
  pulling into Chick-fil-A? And I know they've got some very
• 5:03
  minty great. Holidays shake right now because
• 5:06
  I heard about it from my friend. Have to go try it can honestly
• 5:10
  confess have never had one of their shakes and I just can't
• 5:13
  imagine drinking that much of that sugar.
• 5:17
  It just freaks my freaks me out and I just can't even imagine
• 5:20
  what it would do to my body. So stay away from it.
• 5:24
  Just simply stay away from it and set yourself up.
• 5:29
  Get the things you want in line in the house.
• 5:32
  OK my friends. I will see you tomorrow for part
• 5:34
  three. I hope you have a blessed day.
• 5:36
  Bye.
