  I hit the button by accident.
• 0:01
  Here we are live.
• 0:03
  We're live.
• 0:03
  We're live.
• 0:04
  We didn't even get an intro today.
• 0:05
  I know.
• 0:06
  That's the way it rolls.
• 0:08
  How's it going?
• 0:09
  I'm going to let Scott do his intro.
• 0:11
  Go ahead and do it.
• 0:12
  Go ahead.
• 0:12
  Come on.
• 0:14
  What's going on, everyone?
• 0:16
  Welcome to the Clydesdale
• 0:17
  Media Weight Loss Journey.
• 0:18
  My name is Scott Schweitzer.
• 0:20
  I'm the Clydesdale.
• 0:21
  She is Cheryl Nasso.
• 0:23
  She's my nutrition coach.
• 0:24
  And we're here to do the weekly check-in.
• 0:28
  But I accidentally hit the button.
• 0:29
  I,
• 0:30
  I have this meeting that is scheduled
• 0:31
  till four.
• 0:32
  I start these at four or five.
• 0:35
  They never end on time.
• 0:37
  Never.
• 0:37
  And I hate that.
• 0:39
  Well, schedule a meeting.
• 0:40
  It should end when it's should end.
• 0:44
  And you saved the intro just like that.
• 0:48
  We don't need no fancy intro now.
• 0:50
  So how are you feeling today?
• 0:52
  Obviously the stress of like, I get it,
• 0:54
  you know,
• 0:54
  like running out of a meeting
• 0:56
  into another meeting is
• 0:57
  always like that back to back.
• 0:59
  So how are you feeling?
• 1:03
  I feel okay.
• 1:04
  Um,
• 1:04
  I'm still having some of the gas issues,
• 1:07
  but I was at my daughter's
• 1:10
  house this weekend with not
• 1:12
  a lot of control over food.
• 1:14
  So had to go with what, what I could and,
• 1:18
  um,
• 1:19
  and just had to wing it kind of
• 1:22
  through it.
• 1:23
  And then of course I was
• 1:24
  around three dogs all weekend.
• 1:26
  So yesterday was just recovery day.
• 1:29
  Got it.
• 1:29
  So what did,
• 1:30
  so what did wing it this week?
• 1:31
  It looked like in your nutrition.
• 1:37
  so I you logged I did we ate
• 1:43
  out a lot because my
• 1:45
  daughter is not a great
• 1:46
  cook and I guess that is on
• 1:50
  me yeah looks like Saturday
• 1:54
  you had a bagel chicken and
• 1:57
  coleslaw and a Philly
• 1:59
  cheesesteak that's pretty much it
• 2:02
  Three square meals.
• 2:04
  Sunday you had a chicken
• 2:06
  sandwich and fries and
• 2:09
  breakfast for dinner?
• 2:10
  Yep.
• 2:13
  All right.
• 2:13
  And then were you there Friday too?
• 2:16
  I was.
• 2:16
  Let's see what Friday was.
• 2:18
  Friday was bagel and eggs, McDonald's,
• 2:24
  and it looks like a pasta
• 2:27
  dish of some sort.
• 2:29
  Yep.
• 2:29
  So no snacking though.
• 2:31
  You were kind of just like a
• 2:32
  three square meals kind of
• 2:33
  a person this weekend.
• 2:34
  Pretty much.
• 2:34
  Yeah.
• 2:35
  Yeah.
• 2:35
  I didn't snack at all.
• 2:37
  Sometimes that helps because obviously,
• 2:39
  you know,
• 2:40
  if you can't really control
• 2:42
  calories that much,
• 2:43
  the less frequently you eat,
• 2:44
  at least you're controlling calories to,
• 2:46
  you know, three meals.
• 2:47
  So.
• 2:48
  I think you honestly did pretty good.
• 2:50
  I mean, you know,
• 2:50
  even if your calories were
• 2:51
  off a little bit, your calories reported,
• 2:54
  we're still in the 1500 range.
• 2:55
  So even if you were off and
• 2:57
  you're logging by a thousand calories,
• 2:59
  you likely still did a pretty good job.
• 3:03
  So I feel pretty solid about that.
• 3:05
  I feel like we need to say
• 3:06
  hello to some people
• 3:07
  because there's people that
• 3:08
  I haven't seen on here in a while.
• 3:09
  Like Elise,
• 3:09
  I feel like she's been missing
• 3:11
  the past couple of weeks, right?
• 3:14
  It's okay.
• 3:15
  We're out there all the time.
• 3:16
  You can check,
• 3:17
  You can catch up the recording.
• 3:19
  Yeah.
• 3:21
  Jake Chapman, Braylon tender, Yon Clark,
• 3:25
  Kenneth, of course, Jody, Holly.
• 3:31
  Can I just say,
• 3:32
  I know I don't see Damien in here.
• 3:34
  His wife is killing it.
• 3:36
  Yeah, she is.
• 3:38
  She hasn't posted her new photos yet,
• 3:40
  but I'm excited to see her
• 3:41
  new photos because she posted on IG.
• 3:45
  I know she posted it.
• 3:46
  Not a transformation though, right?
• 3:48
  it was just a picture and I,
• 3:49
  I met her at the games.
• 3:51
  Yeah.
• 3:52
  She's killing it.
• 3:53
  She really is.
• 3:54
  She's, she's been,
• 3:55
  I don't have favorite clients,
• 3:57
  but she's been a very good
• 3:58
  client to work with.
• 3:59
  I, I want more people like her in my life.
• 4:03
  Yeah.
• 4:03
  So, uh, speaking of that,
• 4:05
  I do have a challenge coming up,
• 4:07
  a jumpstart.
• 4:07
  So if anybody wants the
• 4:09
  details that I'll make sure
• 4:10
  I talk a little bit about
• 4:10
  before we close up,
• 4:11
  because it is how I actually got, uh,
• 4:14
  to work with Damien's wife.
• 4:16
  She signed up for my last
• 4:17
  jumpstart and decided to
• 4:19
  continue on with coaching.
• 4:20
  And she's just been,
• 4:22
  she did it through the holidays,
• 4:24
  you know?
• 4:24
  So she still went through, went away.
• 4:26
  She went away for
• 4:27
  Thanksgiving and Christmas
• 4:29
  and still came back and losing weight,
• 4:31
  feeling good.
• 4:32
  So, but this is not about her.
• 4:34
  This is about Scott Schweitzer.
• 4:37
  So coming off of the weekend, um,
• 4:40
  I know it's about me,
• 4:41
  but there's a lot going on
• 4:43
  in the world and you had a
• 4:44
  competitor take forth the TFX.
• 4:47
  I know.
• 4:47
  I know.
• 4:48
  How was that this weekend?
• 4:50
  It was good.
• 4:50
  Well,
• 4:51
  she's beating herself up because she
• 4:52
  feels like she should have done better.
• 4:53
  That's just the nature of, I'm like, girl,
• 4:56
  you were behind two games
• 4:57
  athletes and another semifinal athlete.
• 4:59
  Like you did awesome.
• 5:00
  So I'm, I'm very, very,
• 5:02
  very happy for her.
• 5:03
  So she's actually in
• 5:04
  recovery mode right now.
• 5:06
  So I'm like, don't drop your calories.
• 5:08
  I know that you are not
• 5:11
  working out a bunch this week,
• 5:12
  but you got to keep fueling yourself.
• 5:17
  I see somebody looking to absolutely.
• 5:20
  You can definitely reach out to me.
• 5:21
  So I love that.
• 5:23
  I love the confidence there.
• 5:25
  I plan to make it to the
• 5:26
  CrossFit Games in 2025.
• 5:28
  That's somebody who is going
• 5:30
  to be a competitor right there.
• 5:32
  Some people would see that
• 5:33
  and think that that's
• 5:34
  somebody that is like, quote unquote,
• 5:37
  cocky.
• 5:38
  Nope.
• 5:38
  That's somebody who says I'm
• 5:40
  going to be on that stage
• 5:41
  one day and that's why he's
• 5:43
  going to be there.
• 5:43
  So for sure,
• 5:44
  I would love to be able to help you out.
• 5:48
  So definitely reach out to me.
• 5:50
  I'll put my email and you
• 5:52
  guys know my IG handle.
• 5:53
  You can DM me on Instagram
• 5:55
  at Cheryl Nasso or you can
• 5:58
  also email me or I'm going
• 6:01
  to also put the link to my
• 6:05
  upcoming challenge as well.
• 6:09
  You guys will have that too.
• 6:11
  Anyways,
• 6:12
  so you're coming off of the weekend.
• 6:15
  How did the gym go last week?
• 6:17
  Any gym workouts in?
• 6:21
  Yeah.
• 6:23
  I got in two workouts last
• 6:25
  week before I left.
• 6:26
  And then I haven't been back
• 6:28
  since I got back this week.
• 6:31
  Got it.
• 6:32
  So you're still working out
• 6:33
  in your garage or did you go to the gym?
• 6:35
  I went to the gym last week.
• 6:37
  Oh, awesome.
• 6:38
  I did a garage yesterday.
• 6:40
  Okay.
• 6:42
  Which,
• 6:43
  which class are you typically taking?
• 6:44
  Are you taking the nooner?
• 6:45
  Yeah.
• 6:46
  Got it.
• 6:46
  Cool.
• 6:47
  How did it feel to be back at the gym?
• 6:49
  Cause I know you have, you've been missing,
• 6:50
  you haven't really been to
• 6:51
  the gym since what December?
• 6:55
  Yeah,
• 6:55
  I've been back hit or miss probably a
• 6:58
  couple of times a week with then
• 7:03
  Accentuating that with the home gym.
• 7:06
  Yeah, I gotcha.
• 7:07
  So you haven't missed too
• 7:09
  much from the gym,
• 7:09
  but it probably is feeling
• 7:11
  better to kind of be more
• 7:12
  regular in there.
• 7:13
  I know that your schedule,
• 7:14
  I know you like that more
• 7:15
  is why I'm saying that.
• 7:17
  So yeah,
• 7:18
  Tuesdays are my rest day now
• 7:20
  because of the round table.
• 7:22
  And,
• 7:23
  and then Monday yesterday was just a
• 7:25
  recovery day.
• 7:26
  So I just did the garage.
• 7:28
  Um, and that was fine.
• 7:31
  Yeah.
• 7:32
  Um,
• 7:33
  how's coming off the weekend with like
• 7:35
  the different types of foods?
• 7:36
  Did you find yourself
• 7:37
  experiencing any more hunger cravings?
• 7:42
  I haven't been hungry because of this gas.
• 7:45
  When the gas issue hits, I'm not hungry.
• 7:48
  It's still going on.
• 7:50
  Well,
• 7:50
  I didn't have any control really over
• 7:52
  the weekend to try to get
• 7:56
  more basic foods.
• 7:58
  And I mean like not acid or based foods.
• 8:03
  Cause I didn't have those at my disposal.
• 8:05
  So yeah, I just did what I could.
• 8:09
  Well,
• 8:10
  I know like last week we had talked about,
• 8:11
  you were doing a good job
• 8:12
  of adding in more
• 8:12
  vegetables and I kind of
• 8:13
  suggested maybe taking it
• 8:14
  back a little bit.
• 8:16
  Had you done that at all or not,
• 8:18
  not even notice a difference?
• 8:19
  Well, yeah,
• 8:20
  I didn't have a lot of
• 8:21
  vegetables this weekend.
• 8:23
  So you're,
• 8:23
  but you're still having the gas.
• 8:24
  So that means that that's not the problem.
• 8:26
  Right.
• 8:27
  But I don't think like a
• 8:29
  Philly cheesesteak is the best.
• 8:31
  Right.
• 8:32
  Agreed.
• 8:33
  Right.
• 8:33
  And the McDonald's probably wasn't great.
• 8:38
  So we're still,
• 8:39
  still fighting through that.
• 8:41
  Okay.
• 8:41
  I gotcha.
• 8:44
  All right.
• 8:44
  So yesterday back on track with things.
• 8:49
  Kind of had a lighter breakfast.
• 8:53
  Yeah,
• 8:54
  yesterday you didn't really eat much
• 8:55
  vegetables at all.
• 8:56
  But you still feel a little off today,
• 8:59
  right?
• 9:01
  Today I feel better.
• 9:03
  Yesterday was pretty rough.
• 9:06
  It was more last night when
• 9:07
  I was trying to sleep.
• 9:09
  I woke up.
• 9:13
  Okay.
• 9:14
  Um, all right.
• 9:15
  And today,
• 9:15
  so far you have breakfast and
• 9:16
  lunch logged.
• 9:17
  All right.
• 9:17
  So obviously this week,
• 9:19
  the weight is pretty much
• 9:21
  the same as it was before you left,
• 9:22
  which isn't a bad thing.
• 9:25
  You know, it's pretty much the same.
• 9:26
  So that just means obviously
• 9:28
  you're maintaining this week,
• 9:30
  considering the weekend you had,
• 9:32
  did you enjoy your time with your,
• 9:33
  your family?
• 9:35
  Yeah, we, my,
• 9:36
  my daughter moved into a
• 9:38
  house in a really nice
• 9:40
  neighborhood in Pittsburgh and
• 9:43
  She lives close to my mom now.
• 9:45
  So my mom actually drove
• 9:46
  down for Saturday.
• 9:48
  So we got to hang out.
• 9:50
  It was raining the whole weekend,
• 9:52
  but we got to play games
• 9:55
  and hang out and be a family.
• 9:57
  And it was fun.
• 9:58
  That's awesome.
• 9:59
  Did you feel stressed about
• 10:00
  the food at all?
• 10:02
  I really didn't.
• 10:04
  I just was so proud of her
• 10:05
  and where she's come.
• 10:07
  And I just wanted to be in that moment.
• 10:10
  Yeah,
• 10:11
  I really think it's important for
• 10:13
  people to see that like
• 10:15
  you know, we're not all about like,
• 10:17
  if it fits your macros,
• 10:18
  we are all about like, you have to be,
• 10:21
  obviously we want to see
• 10:22
  like primarily 80, 20 whole foods.
• 10:25
  But when you have a weekend where like,
• 10:26
  you don't have control over things,
• 10:29
  sometimes you have to do
• 10:30
  the best you can.
• 10:31
  And that's how you still
• 10:33
  continue to make progress.
• 10:34
  So like, you know,
• 10:35
  like you didn't have so
• 10:37
  much control over your food,
• 10:38
  but you still did a good
• 10:39
  job of controlling calories.
• 10:41
  Now,
• 10:41
  I think that if I wanted to improve
• 10:43
  things a little bit more, I would say,
• 10:46
  you know,
• 10:47
  trying to get options at fast
• 10:50
  food restaurants that are a
• 10:52
  little bit cleaner is a
• 10:54
  really good practice for
• 10:55
  people that do have to eat
• 10:57
  out more conveniently or more frequently.
• 10:59
  So like, for instance, going to McDonald's,
• 11:02
  you know,
• 11:02
  they've taken a lot of their
• 11:03
  healthier options off the menu,
• 11:05
  by the way.
• 11:05
  Like they used to have,
• 11:07
  they used to have salads.
• 11:08
  They don't have salads anymore, right?
• 11:12
  I don't think so.
• 11:13
  I'm going to pull it out
• 11:15
  because they used to have
• 11:18
  the salad shakers that were
• 11:19
  a thing back in the day.
• 11:22
  They do have where you can
• 11:24
  get a grilled chicken sandwich there.
• 11:26
  I know that they do have things like that.
• 11:29
  In fact,
• 11:30
  I even think they might even have
• 11:32
  a lighter menu.
• 11:34
  Let's just take a look.
• 11:36
  Actually, no.
• 11:36
  They don't even have a
• 11:37
  grilled chicken sandwich anymore.
• 11:39
  Everything is...
• 11:41
  make crispy or make chicken or whatever.
• 11:43
  So they don't even have that anymore.
• 11:45
  So I think honestly,
• 11:46
  you probably did the best you could,
• 11:48
  you know,
• 11:49
  what did you pick their double burger?
• 11:50
  Yeah.
• 11:52
  Yeah.
• 11:52
  I mean,
• 11:52
  that's probably the best you could
• 11:53
  have done because they really don't.
• 11:55
  It's crazy.
• 11:56
  They used to have a grilled
• 11:57
  chicken sandwich.
• 11:58
  They used to have salads and
• 12:00
  now they have none of that.
• 12:01
  They have literally burgers,
• 12:03
  chicken and fish sandwiches,
• 12:04
  but everything.
• 12:06
  You really don't have much,
• 12:08
  much control over anything.
• 12:10
  I think the best you can do
• 12:11
  is maybe get a kid's happy
• 12:12
  meal and get the apple chips.
• 12:15
  That's really like the best
• 12:16
  thing you can do there.
• 12:17
  So, um, but you know, I think that, um,
• 12:23
  Like,
• 12:23
  I always recommend people looking at
• 12:25
  the menu and trying to find
• 12:26
  the grilled options.
• 12:27
  I think, like you said, like at McDonald's,
• 12:30
  you probably did the best you can.
• 12:31
  KFC,
• 12:32
  you might have been able to find some
• 12:34
  different things.
• 12:34
  I'm pulling that one up now.
• 12:36
  And I think that it's
• 12:37
  important for people to
• 12:38
  take the time to do this stuff because,
• 12:39
  you know, this is life.
• 12:42
  You're going to end up being at, you know,
• 12:45
  at a fast food restaurant
• 12:46
  and have to make a good choice.
• 12:48
  So I think it's sometimes
• 12:49
  good to kind of take a look at things.
• 12:50
  You pick... You chose...
• 12:52
  What did you choose at KFC?
• 12:53
  You chose... The classic chicken sandwich.
• 12:56
  Yeah.
• 12:57
  You're a sandwich guy.
• 12:58
  I think I've noticed that.
• 13:00
  You like... Well, I'm usually driving.
• 13:02
  So those were the two meals,
• 13:04
  driving to Pittsburgh and driving home.
• 13:07
  Yeah.
• 13:07
  And I'm not going to be able
• 13:09
  to eat a salad while driving.
• 13:11
  Agreed.
• 13:11
  Agreed.
• 13:12
  And they also...
• 13:14
  don't have a grilled chicken sandwich.
• 13:17
  Can you believe that?
• 13:19
  It's just crazy.
• 13:20
  It's really sad that you
• 13:22
  can't even get something
• 13:24
  like that at a freaking restaurant,
• 13:26
  but that's just America.
• 13:28
  You can get, everything is fried.
• 13:30
  Even their a la carte stuff is all fried.
• 13:33
  They don't have anything.
• 13:34
  So honestly, Scott,
• 13:36
  you did the best you could
• 13:37
  because there really wasn't
• 13:39
  At that point,
• 13:40
  you're really not given much options.
• 13:41
  They don't have anything there.
• 13:43
  They don't even have salads there either.
• 13:45
  I think you did great.
• 13:47
  Can I say this?
• 13:49
  Before I started with you,
• 13:50
  if I went to McDonald's,
• 13:52
  it was a couple double
• 13:53
  cheeseburgers and a large fry.
• 13:56
  Now,
• 13:57
  I'm satiated with one and a small fry.
• 14:01
  That's perfect.
• 14:03
  With KFC, same thing.
• 14:05
  I would have ordered...
• 14:08
  a shit ton of food.
• 14:09
  I had one sandwich and I
• 14:11
  only had some of the fries
• 14:12
  out of my wife's basket.
• 14:15
  Like, yeah.
• 14:17
  So I think, I think you did awesome.
• 14:19
  That sounds like your
• 14:20
  portion control moderation
• 14:21
  is all getting better.
• 14:23
  Um, I'm looking at some of these comments,
• 14:25
  just kind of like scrolling through.
• 14:27
  So what's the schedule like this week?
• 14:29
  Are you going to the gym or
• 14:30
  working out at home mostly?
• 14:33
  So the plan is to work out
• 14:34
  at the gym as long,
• 14:36
  I'm just leading a project this week.
• 14:38
  So as long as everything
• 14:41
  works out and I don't have
• 14:42
  to work over lunch.
• 14:44
  Gotcha.
• 14:45
  I did want to make sure that
• 14:46
  everybody knows that you
• 14:47
  did send me photos.
• 14:48
  So I did get new photos of you.
• 14:51
  And it's so hard.
• 14:52
  Guys are so bad about taking photos.
• 14:55
  Like when I put side-by-side
• 14:57
  photos together, like for one,
• 14:58
  you can tell you redid your bathroom.
• 15:00
  Is that where you took your
• 15:00
  photos in your bathroom?
• 15:02
  Uh, it was,
• 15:03
  but it was a different bathroom.
• 15:05
  Yeah, it was, it was a different bathroom.
• 15:06
  I'm like, everything looks different.
• 15:09
  Um, the boat, like where you're at,
• 15:13
  you know, like,
• 15:13
  so some people take really good photos,
• 15:15
  their front side back.
• 15:17
  You're one of those, let me take a selfie.
• 15:19
  So I do have some side-by-sides,
• 15:21
  but I'm not sharing them with anybody.
• 15:22
  You'll, you'll be able to see those,
• 15:23
  but nothing for anybody else.
• 15:25
  And I definitely do see a huge difference,
• 15:27
  especially in
• 15:29
  When it comes to body fat,
• 15:31
  there's different types of
• 15:33
  fat that people don't even realize.
• 15:34
  And I don't know what it's called,
• 15:37
  but there's a specific kind
• 15:38
  of fat that I feel like
• 15:39
  I'll have to look it up
• 15:41
  exactly because I didn't do that today.
• 15:43
  But it looks like you have less of it.
• 15:45
  And it's that like...
• 15:46
  Fat that causes almost like the rippling.
• 15:49
  It's more of an unhealthy fat.
• 15:51
  Like you can see a
• 15:52
  difference in the way your body looks.
• 15:55
  Like you look tighter,
• 15:56
  which is a really good thing.
• 15:58
  So just talking a little bit
• 16:01
  about body fat.
• 16:02
  which you're like, Oh, this is fun.
• 16:04
  So, um,
• 16:06
  Hearing that is so anti what I'm
• 16:09
  thinking because I have
• 16:11
  this excess skin that I'm just,
• 16:14
  I'm just really mad at.
• 16:15
  And I don't know,
• 16:16
  I don't know how else to put it.
• 16:19
  Yeah.
• 16:20
  It's just in my way and it
• 16:22
  looks bad and it, you know,
• 16:24
  Where do you, we'll see.
• 16:25
  That's the other thing is
• 16:26
  because of the way you took your photos.
• 16:29
  I don't see that.
• 16:30
  So are you carrying a lot of
• 16:31
  that in your lower abdomen?
• 16:33
  That's my guess.
• 16:34
  Lower abdomen.
• 16:35
  And then on the sides here,
• 16:40
  like in the pec area.
• 16:42
  Yeah.
• 16:44
  I had a client that has
• 16:45
  underwent two skin removal surgeries.
• 16:48
  I think that they have to
• 16:49
  kind of do it sometimes in series.
• 16:52
  He's undergone two and it's
• 16:54
  crazy looking at his
• 16:54
  transformation since the surgery.
• 16:57
  In fact,
• 16:57
  he's due for progress photos pretty soon.
• 16:59
  So
• 17:00
  Hopefully that's something
• 17:01
  that you'll have in your
• 17:02
  future because it does help
• 17:04
  a whole bunch.
• 17:04
  And he would honestly not be
• 17:06
  opposed to me sharing the photos.
• 17:08
  He's a very open book, but it is drastic.
• 17:12
  I mean,
• 17:13
  that's also weight that you're
• 17:14
  carrying too, that extra skin.
• 17:17
  That's not body fat.
• 17:18
  So-
• 17:19
  um yeah so so this week I
• 17:22
  feel like is not much we
• 17:25
  can really do because this
• 17:27
  weekend was a little bit
• 17:28
  off but are you feeling
• 17:30
  good and motivated right
• 17:31
  now with where you're at I
• 17:33
  do good I feel like then
• 17:36
  we're in a good space um
• 17:38
  and I actually I do want to
• 17:40
  kind of show isaiah because
• 17:42
  I think it's this would be
• 17:43
  helpful for you I think I'm
• 17:45
  going to just show you
• 17:45
  because let me just pull
• 17:47
  this up share screen
• 17:48
  While you're doing that.
• 17:50
  Yeah.
• 17:50
  Braylon, I do go to an affiliate.
• 17:55
  These photos might be kind of small,
• 17:57
  but Isaiah's lost quite a bit of weight.
• 18:01
  I mean, I think it was 150 pounds or so,
• 18:04
  give or take.
• 18:05
  And you can see how much
• 18:06
  loose skin he had.
• 18:07
  In fact,
• 18:07
  this was actually after... I think
• 18:09
  this might have been after
• 18:10
  his first surgery.
• 18:13
  And then you can actually see...
• 18:18
  Let's see, where's the next one?
• 18:19
  Okay, this was after one of his surgeries.
• 18:23
  So you can see the huge difference, right?
• 18:26
  And now that was actually
• 18:28
  his latest photo.
• 18:30
  But yeah, so these were actually after,
• 18:32
  this was after one of his
• 18:34
  surgeries and then he had
• 18:36
  to have another one done.
• 18:38
  So it's just crazy how different,
• 18:40
  look at the difference.
• 18:42
  And this,
• 18:43
  this was before I have any surgeries,
• 18:46
  this to where he is now.
• 18:49
  So, and that's, and he's died himself.
• 18:52
  Like he's a super dedicated client,
• 18:54
  but you can see the huge difference.
• 18:56
  It's crazy.
• 18:57
  So that's what you'll have in your future.
• 18:58
  Hopefully we can kind of get
• 19:01
  that approved for you.
• 19:02
  I know it takes a lot of
• 19:03
  work to get it approved, but for sure,
• 19:06
  it's a big thing.
• 19:07
  So yeah.
• 19:09
  Yeah.
• 19:11
  I just wonder because it's big.
• 19:13
  Um,
• 19:13
  so this week I feel like I'd like to
• 19:15
  get back to focusing on food quality,
• 19:17
  high fiber, um, all that kinds of stuff,
• 19:21
  get into the gym.
• 19:23
  Um, mentally though, how are you feeling?
• 19:27
  I'm actually pretty good.
• 19:29
  Um,
• 19:30
  things are moving in a really good
• 19:32
  direction, um,
• 19:34
  with everything in my life.
• 19:36
  And so super stoked.
• 19:38
  What are you thinking for
• 19:39
  semifinals and such?
• 19:40
  Are you planning on
• 19:41
  traveling or still that's
• 19:42
  up in the air still?
• 19:44
  It depends on sponsorship money.
• 19:46
  Yeah.
• 19:46
  And whether we can do that,
• 19:48
  but I believe we've had
• 19:51
  some good talks and
• 19:53
  hopefully next week or two,
• 19:55
  we'll be able to make an announcement.
• 19:57
  Yeah.
• 19:59
  All right, cool.
• 19:59
  Well,
• 20:00
  what do you have going on this
• 20:01
  weekend with white?
• 20:02
  You guys going on a date night?
• 20:04
  I think we probably should.
• 20:06
  Yeah.
• 20:06
  We haven't done it in a while.
• 20:08
  So we'll probably do that Friday night.
• 20:13
  But other than that,
• 20:14
  it's just going to be a chill weekend.
• 20:16
  Good.
• 20:17
  And you feel good about your nutrition.
• 20:18
  You're in a good spot.
• 20:20
  Yeah.
• 20:20
  Good.
• 20:21
  I got to tell you, talking nutrition,
• 20:24
  if you guys don't have a Ninja Creamy,
• 20:28
  the Ninja Creamy is so worth it.
• 20:31
  Just saying.
• 20:32
  I think it's like anywhere from,
• 20:35
  depending on which one you get,
• 20:37
  180 to 250 bucks.
• 20:40
  but it is so worth it.
• 20:41
  I have used it every single night,
• 20:44
  like for the last, like two months.
• 20:46
  I freaking love it.
• 20:47
  I've had it since last year.
• 20:48
  And I was,
• 20:49
  I was sitting in a box for
• 20:51
  almost the entire year and
• 20:53
  I finally took it out.
• 20:55
  It's, it's amazing.
• 20:56
  The things you can make with
• 20:57
  it are just like, so good.
• 21:00
  So good.
• 21:01
  I'm like hooked on it.
• 21:03
  And it's easy.
• 21:04
  It doesn't take,
• 21:04
  it doesn't take much time at all.
• 21:06
  You know,
• 21:07
  like putting this stuff in the
• 21:08
  ingredients together the night before,
• 21:10
  So good.
• 21:11
  So, um, yeah,
• 21:14
  the first place I heard of it
• 21:15
  was Christie.
• 21:17
  Yeah.
• 21:17
  Patrick.
• 21:18
  Um,
• 21:19
  and they were making their own like
• 21:21
  healthy ice cream.
• 21:22
  Yep.
• 21:23
  It's exactly what it tastes like.
• 21:24
  It's, it's like a,
• 21:26
  you can make regular ice
• 21:27
  cream in there too.
• 21:28
  Like if you want to, um,
• 21:30
  you can make your own homemade ice cream,
• 21:31
  but you can also make healthier,
• 21:33
  lower fat options, which is awesome.
• 21:36
  So Bruce Wayne says, um,
• 21:38
  Podium cookies and cream is the worst.
• 21:41
  Man, let me just tell you,
• 21:43
  if you were around when
• 21:45
  Progenix was a thing,
• 21:47
  Progenix had their recovery
• 21:49
  and they had the more muscle.
• 21:52
  And that was their two proteins.
• 21:54
  And they had a cookies and cream flavor.
• 21:57
  And let me just tell you,
• 21:59
  it was the best protein.
• 22:01
  It had little chunks of cookie in it.
• 22:05
  Little chunks of like Oreo
• 22:07
  cookie in the protein.
• 22:08
  It was amazing.
• 22:10
  Amazing.
• 22:11
  Loved it.
• 22:12
  So did you ever have that?
• 22:14
  I didn't.
• 22:15
  I just started volunteering
• 22:18
  when Progenix was being
• 22:20
  phased out as a sponsor.
• 22:23
  So I tried a couple of their things,
• 22:25
  but not the cookies and cream.
• 22:29
  It's funny.
• 22:29
  I was at a gym down in Miami
• 22:31
  when I was at
• 22:32
  Guadalupalooza and somebody
• 22:33
  was wearing a Progenix shirt.
• 22:36
  that is an OG shirt.
• 22:37
  In fact, I was,
• 22:38
  I was a sponsored progenics
• 22:39
  athlete and a couple of
• 22:41
  weeks ago I was cleaning
• 22:43
  out my CrossFit stuff and
• 22:46
  I'm sure you have a gazillion t-shirts,
• 22:48
  but I had so many t-shirts.
• 22:52
  I remember Locomoka too.
• 22:55
  I had so many t-shirts from
• 22:57
  progenics and I like
• 23:00
  was like, okay,
• 23:01
  I need to part with these shirts.
• 23:03
  Like they're not really memorabilia.
• 23:06
  They're just t-shirts.
• 23:07
  Like this company no longer
• 23:09
  even really exists.
• 23:10
  It does actually have a website,
• 23:12
  but I felt like I was
• 23:15
  losing a piece of my soul.
• 23:17
  Getting rid of some of these shirts,
• 23:19
  but yeah.
• 23:20
  Were you one of their athletes?
• 23:22
  I was.
• 23:23
  Yeah.
• 23:24
  That's where I actually,
• 23:25
  I got to meet some really
• 23:26
  cool people when I was working,
• 23:27
  when I was with them.
• 23:28
  I don't know if you know who
• 23:29
  Kendrick Ferris is.
• 23:31
  He's a, I got to,
• 23:33
  I got to work with him like
• 23:34
  one-on-one traveled to
• 23:37
  California a few times for
• 23:38
  progenic stuff.
• 23:39
  They were, they were awesome.
• 23:40
  Like they definitely treated me very well.
• 23:42
  I was,
• 23:43
  I was with them like when Miranda
• 23:44
  was a part of their team.
• 23:46
  She actually worked for them,
• 23:48
  Miranda Alcaraz.
• 23:50
  Back then was Oldroyd.
• 23:52
  But yeah, they were awesome.
• 23:54
  Loved it.
• 23:55
  Yeah.
• 23:57
  But now I'm with First Form,
• 24:00
  not as a sponsored athlete,
• 24:02
  as a Legionnaire,
• 24:03
  mostly because I like their products.
• 24:05
  I think their products are...
• 24:07
  Great.
• 24:08
  Do I think that there's just
• 24:09
  as good a products out there?
• 24:10
  Absolutely.
• 24:11
  I'm not here to say, you know,
• 24:13
  they're the ultimate,
• 24:14
  but what I like about first
• 24:15
  form is that I don't have to worry about,
• 24:19
  I could literally give my
• 24:20
  clients supplements solely
• 24:22
  from first form and feel
• 24:23
  really good that they're
• 24:24
  getting good quality.
• 24:25
  even though I might
• 24:26
  recommend different brands
• 24:27
  for different things, for the most part,
• 24:30
  I could literally just give
• 24:31
  people a link to first form
• 24:33
  and they could get
• 24:33
  everything that they needed there.
• 24:35
  And I would feel good about it.
• 24:36
  But I do sometimes like, you know,
• 24:38
  I have you on different vitamin D,
• 24:39
  I have you on different fish oil.
• 24:42
  You know, mostly because I find that some,
• 24:44
  like, for instance, I think that fish oil,
• 24:46
  I think liquid fish oil is
• 24:48
  much easier for the body to absorb.
• 24:50
  So I will always go for a
• 24:52
  liquid version of that.
• 24:53
  So.
• 24:55
  Um, yeah, Philip, I did,
• 24:57
  I did actually get rid of
• 24:59
  quite a few of my, um, progenic shirts.
• 25:02
  I kept a couple.
• 25:04
  So, so Judy asks, what do I use, uh,
• 25:07
  for protein?
• 25:09
  I actually still have some extend from C4.
• 25:13
  Um, my, and I like the flavor of it.
• 25:16
  I like it a lot.
• 25:17
  It just, they only have two flavors.
• 25:19
  Yeah, they have two flavors.
• 25:21
  It's good, though.
• 25:22
  It's good,
• 25:23
  and it's really good mixed in yogurt.
• 25:25
  Their vanilla ice cream
• 25:26
  mixed in yogurt is really awesome.
• 25:29
  It almost tastes like cream
• 25:30
  cheese when you do that.
• 25:35
  You can actually make a
• 25:36
  really good... If you mix
• 25:39
  protein powder with
• 25:40
  reduced-fat cream cheese,
• 25:42
  you can make a high-protein
• 25:43
  that almost tastes like icing.
• 25:45
  And you can put it on things
• 25:47
  or you can make like a dip that way.
• 25:48
  Just saying, but yeah.
• 25:51
  And then as Cheryl mentioned,
• 25:53
  I use first form for my vitamins, um,
• 25:56
  except for I do.
• 25:59
  And then wild health put me
• 26:00
  on some supplements, uh,
• 26:02
  that like a beef liver
• 26:04
  capsule that I take, um,
• 26:10
  a meta it's like for your heart and, um,
• 26:15
  and then I take the liquid, um,
• 26:19
  the liquid,
• 26:21
  whatever we were just talking about.
• 26:23
  Yeah.
• 26:23
  Omega threes.
• 26:25
  Core Omega is what you take.
• 26:27
  Um, Elise says,
• 26:28
  I just can't find anything
• 26:29
  that tastes as good as core power.
• 26:30
  So the reason why like the core power,
• 26:31
  those are like the pre-made
• 26:32
  shakes is because they're
• 26:34
  not just a whey protein powder.
• 26:35
  This is the biggest mistake
• 26:36
  people make is like,
• 26:39
  I was actually about to make
• 26:40
  a post that I'm probably
• 26:41
  going to get some hate for
• 26:43
  about how fit aids and whey
• 26:45
  protein shakes are doing
• 26:46
  absolutely nothing for your recovery.
• 26:48
  Well,
• 26:49
  people literally just mix their
• 26:50
  protein powder with water
• 26:52
  and they think it's going to taste good.
• 26:55
  And yes,
• 26:55
  there are some that taste better
• 26:57
  than others, but like, that's just blah.
• 27:00
  And the reason why like the
• 27:01
  core power tastes good is
• 27:02
  because it's creamier.
• 27:03
  So my recommendation is
• 27:05
  always to mix your protein
• 27:07
  powder with either
• 27:09
  unsweetened almond or cashew milk,
• 27:12
  or if you do dairy,
• 27:13
  doing even like the Fairlife
• 27:15
  brand fat-free milk because
• 27:18
  that actually has higher
• 27:19
  protein in it as well,
• 27:20
  but it does taste better.
• 27:22
  And I think that a couple of
• 27:24
  brands that I would also recommend,
• 27:26
  if you haven't tried the
• 27:27
  first warm vanilla ice cream flavor,
• 27:29
  that's really good.
• 27:30
  Pea Science is another brand
• 27:33
  of protein powder.
• 27:35
  that I think tastes really
• 27:36
  good and is actually really
• 27:37
  good for baking, P.E.
• 27:40
  Science.
• 27:40
  So P.E.
• 27:41
  S-C-I-E-N-C-E.
• 27:43
  Again, not sponsored,
• 27:44
  but that's another brand
• 27:45
  that has a pretty good
• 27:47
  amount of variety for their
• 27:49
  protein powders and is pretty tasty.
• 27:52
  That's another one that I
• 27:53
  like as we're getting into
• 27:54
  protein powders.
• 27:56
  So y'all really,
• 27:57
  you don't even need a protein powder, but,
• 28:00
  um,
• 28:00
  I think that some people it's easier
• 28:02
  to get the protein in and
• 28:04
  it can make getting your
• 28:05
  protein a little bit more
• 28:06
  exciting if you get bored
• 28:07
  of just eating chicken and
• 28:08
  fish all the time.
• 28:10
  So, yeah, I like Kenneth,
• 28:14
  Kenneth's go-to that's kind of my thing.
• 28:16
  Kenneth,
• 28:16
  if you've never tried the frozen banana,
• 28:19
  that's what I do.
• 28:21
  Add a scoop of peanut butter.
• 28:22
  Or if you're watching your fats,
• 28:24
  use the powdered peanut butter.
• 28:26
  Amazing.
• 28:26
  Just adds a little bit more to it.
• 28:28
  And Elise, also,
• 28:29
  that's another trick for you too.
• 28:31
  Add a little powdered peanut
• 28:32
  butter in there.
• 28:32
  That's another good one.
• 28:37
  uh holly yes it is and I'm
• 28:39
  actually going to send you
• 28:40
  my link because I want you
• 28:41
  to be attached to me
• 28:44
  because I want all of my
• 28:45
  clients attached to me
• 28:46
  anybody that wants to uh
• 28:48
  join the first form family
• 28:50
  with me I'll actually just
• 28:51
  put this in the in the
• 28:53
  actual um comments here if
• 28:57
  I have it I think I do microfactor
• 28:59
  I got all kinds of links from first form.
• 29:02
  So I want to make sure you
• 29:02
  give you the right one.
• 29:03
  All right.
• 29:04
  So this week we're going to go to the gym.
• 29:06
  We're going to be back on track.
• 29:08
  You're not traveling this week.
• 29:09
  So everything's pretty much status quo.
• 29:13
  I did get photos.
• 29:14
  I feel good about that.
• 29:18
  What else, man?
• 29:18
  I feel this check-in is pretty uneventful.
• 29:23
  It is pretty much uneventful.
• 29:25
  That's a good thing.
• 29:26
  That's honestly a good thing.
• 29:27
  Guys, when it comes to nutrition,
• 29:29
  nutrition check-ins should
• 29:31
  be somewhat boring work
• 29:34
  when you're doing the work.
• 29:35
  You know, that's the main thing.
• 29:37
  So you're not reporting
• 29:38
  aside from the gas.
• 29:40
  That's your main upset right now.
• 29:42
  So let's see how things go this week.
• 29:45
  If that's still not getting better,
• 29:47
  then I have some other
• 29:48
  tricks up my sleeve that we
• 29:49
  can mess around with next week.
• 29:53
  Fitness challenge.
• 29:54
  No,
• 29:54
  we actually haven't even really done a
• 29:55
  fitness challenge this month.
• 29:57
  We've kind of been a little bit in limbo.
• 29:59
  I've been waiting on the cardio workouts.
• 30:02
  I know.
• 30:02
  So you have to get on coach
• 30:03
  Cheryl because coach Cheryl hasn't been.
• 30:05
  So do you want to go ahead
• 30:06
  and do that in February?
• 30:09
  Yes.
• 30:10
  I'm writing this down right
• 30:11
  now and we'll start that
• 30:13
  starting like now.
• 30:14
  So we'll get into this week to a week,
• 30:17
  right?
• 30:17
  That's what you wanted.
• 30:20
  Okay.
• 30:21
  Cardio sessions.
• 30:22
  Cardio party.
• 30:25
  How long do you usually have
• 30:26
  for those types of workouts?
• 30:27
  Just so I know.
• 30:28
  20 minutes, 30 minutes?
• 30:30
  30 probably is good.
• 30:33
  Okay.
• 30:36
  And anybody that wants to join in,
• 30:37
  I'll post them on my social media too.
• 30:38
  So you can do that.
• 30:40
  so um kenneth has cows
• 30:42
  sleeping it's been good
• 30:45
  until I get this gas bubble
• 30:47
  thing and then I'm up
• 30:48
  burping for a while and
• 30:51
  then I go back to sleep
• 30:53
  then I usually get the gas
• 30:54
  bubble again then I'm up
• 30:55
  burping so it's not
• 30:58
  continuous what what time
• 31:00
  are you eating before bed
• 31:01
  what's your last meal
• 31:04
  Well, you can see in my log,
• 31:05
  I haven't even eaten an evening snack.
• 31:07
  Yeah, that's what I'm saying.
• 31:09
  Trying to like calm things down.
• 31:13
  But maybe that's also part of the problem.
• 31:19
  Okay.
• 31:19
  You normally do eat a nighttime snack,
• 31:23
  right?
• 31:25
  You might be getting too
• 31:26
  much stomach acid built up
• 31:27
  in the middle of the night
• 31:28
  if you're going too long without eating.
• 31:30
  So let's try and eat a light
• 31:33
  snack tonight before bed,
• 31:34
  like the yogurt and some granola,
• 31:36
  something like that,
• 31:38
  and see if that doesn't get
• 31:39
  you a little bit better sleep tonight.
• 31:41
  Okay.
• 31:41
  Something light,
• 31:43
  not something like 200 calories or so.
• 31:47
  Sounds good.
• 31:48
  Because the other thing is,
• 31:50
  if your stomach is too empty,
• 31:53
  stomach acids might be
• 31:54
  building up and making things worse.
• 31:57
  And you're waking up with
• 31:58
  all the stomach acid and
• 31:59
  nothing to absorb it.
• 32:00
  So let's try something like that.
• 32:06
  Okay.
• 32:07
  I can do that tonight.
• 32:08
  Alrighty.
• 32:09
  So we're going to have two
• 32:11
  cardio sessions in this week.
• 32:12
  We're going to have a week
• 32:13
  of you being consistent,
• 32:14
  obviously at home and we'll
• 32:17
  see where things look next week.
• 32:19
  Sounds good.
• 32:21
  All right.
• 32:21
  And I'm a guest on a podcast
• 32:23
  in a half hour or so.
• 32:26
  Oh yeah.
• 32:26
  Which one?
• 32:28
  Coaching your coach, coaching,
• 32:30
  something like that.
• 32:31
  Um,
• 32:31
  but I don't even know if they're going
• 32:34
  live or anything.
• 32:38
  It's a guy I met.
• 32:39
  He had credentials at the games.
• 32:42
  Um,
• 32:42
  we got to know each other over the last
• 32:43
  couple of years, um,
• 32:45
  reached out to me and
• 32:45
  wanted to have me on.
• 32:47
  Is it on YouTube?
• 32:49
  You think I will put it,
• 32:50
  I will post stuff about it
• 32:53
  as soon as it's released.
• 32:55
  What is it called?
• 32:56
  Coaching your coach?
• 32:57
  I think so.
• 32:58
  I just wanted to pull it up on podcast.
• 33:02
  I'm always looking for new podcasts.
• 33:03
  I'll follow.
• 33:04
  It's something to that degree.
• 33:06
  All right, cool.
• 33:07
  Coaching your coach.
• 33:08
  Are you planning on doing the open?
• 33:10
  Yeah.
• 33:11
  All right.
• 33:13
  This will be year 12.
• 33:15
  All right.
• 33:18
  That's awesome.
• 33:19
  I think.
• 33:20
  All right.
• 33:21
  Well,
• 33:21

  So now we've got a place to
• 33:27
  start at the beginning of the year.
• 33:28
  We're going to keep up with that as well.
• 33:30
  So, all righty.
• 33:32
  Okay.
• 33:32
  Sounds good.
• 33:33
