  Speaker 2: How are you You know?

  Speaker 3: I'm doing pretty great? Thanks?
• 0:18
  Speaker 2: Are you? I'm well? Are you good? Have you got
• 0:20
  Speaker 2: big plans for the twenty fourth of July holiday?
• 0:26
  Speaker 3: I don't. Actually we usually will go and see some
• 0:30
  Speaker 3: fireworks or something like that in the evening, but I'm
• 0:34
  Speaker 3: working during the day.
• 0:37
  Speaker 2: Looking too exciting, Elena, you have sent us an outline here,
• 0:43
  Speaker 2: habits to help you eat well consistently, and looking at
• 0:47
  Speaker 2: myself in the mirror, I eat too well, consistently, too well,
• 0:52
  Speaker 2: and too consistently.
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: Where does the Costco chicken bake fit into this? It
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: does not, does not, it does not.
• 1:02
  Speaker 3: It can be part of a balanced diet for sure.
• 1:06
  Speaker 3: I mean, all of this isn't about denying yourself foods
• 1:10
  Speaker 3: are demonizing certain foods. It's about planning what you want
• 1:14
  Speaker 3: to eat in advance and sticking to that day after day.
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: I'm going to have a chicken bake for lunch every day, then.
• 1:24
  Speaker 3: You know, if that's what you want to do, I
• 1:27
  Speaker 3: just would recommend having some veggies with it too.
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: Yeah, have you ever had one Elena.
• 1:35
  Speaker 3: I think I have many years ago.
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: Though, Yeah, and you never went back because because you're healthy.
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: But anyway, what what does it? Plan your meals? That's
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: that's what.
• 1:46
  Speaker 3: You're doing, plan your meals. So yeah, that's the first step,
• 1:51
  Speaker 3: just creating a basic plan for each week, or if
• 1:54
  Speaker 3: you would rather plan a full month in advance, you
• 1:57
  Speaker 3: can do that. Just creating a schedule so that you
• 2:01
  Speaker 3: don't have to decide in the moment when you're already hungry,
• 2:05
  Speaker 3: when you're already tired, what you're going to eat, and.
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: Then try not to snack between those periods. But that
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: you've planned out right.
• 2:16
  Speaker 3: You know, I'm not offended by snacking. You can snack again,
• 2:21
  Speaker 3: I recommend seeking those healthier snacks, things like fruits and vegetables.
• 2:27
  Speaker 3: I have a bag of dried peaches that is my
• 2:29
  Speaker 3: go to right now for that three PM slump.
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: Okay, that's the trick. Now, why do you have to
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: plan hydration? Don't you just drink when you're thirsty?
• 2:41
  Speaker 3: This, yeah, this is one of the things that often
• 2:44
  Speaker 3: gets overlooked, and it's because we think, oh, I will
• 2:47
  Speaker 3: just have a drink when I'm thirsty. But if we
• 2:50
  Speaker 3: don't have our water handy. We might put it off
• 2:54
  Speaker 3: and we might not actually have that drink until we
• 2:57
  Speaker 3: start to get a headache. So just again making a plan,
• 3:01
  Speaker 3: having your water bottle there if it's hot and you're exercising,
• 3:05
  Speaker 3: maybe also doing some electrolytes that kind of a thing.
• 3:09
  Speaker 3: So again just making a plan and making a part
• 3:13
  Speaker 3: of your routine.
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: I've been really good about in the morning. First thing
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: in the morning, before the coffee, I get a big
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: full glass of water and just fill my.
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: That's good that. If I had gold stars, I put
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: one on your forehead.
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: Thanks right now, listen, I'm.
• 3:31
  Speaker 3: Giving you a virtual one right now, thank you.
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: Very much, all right.
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: And then after that it's just nothing but chicken bake
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: all day, prep your food and meals in advance.
• 3:42
  Speaker 3: Yes, and this one for me has been such a
• 3:45
  Speaker 3: life saver just having pre sliced vegetables or freezer meals
• 3:51
  Speaker 3: that you can easily throw into the crock pot, something
• 3:54
  Speaker 3: that you can microwave really quick for lunch. It just
• 3:57
  Speaker 3: makes it so much easier to not have to spend
• 4:01
  Speaker 3: an hour getting your lunch ready or whatever it might be.
• 4:05
  Speaker 3: So having just I.
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: Guess a lot of those pre a lot of those
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: pre prepared meals that can be expensive, but I mean,
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: if you can afford it, they're they're probably pretty good, right, Yeah.
• 4:16
  Speaker 3: So you can definitely like buy those subscription meals. You
• 4:20
  Speaker 3: can also do what I used to call meal prep Sunday.
• 4:24
  Speaker 3: I've kind of changed my schedule a little bit from that,
• 4:27
  Speaker 3: but just spending a couple of hours on a Sunday
• 4:29
  Speaker 3: cooking some chicken, cutting some vegetables, pre batching rice, stuff
• 4:35
  Speaker 3: like that just makes it a lot easier during the week.
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: Well, I don't wanted to cut into my church time,
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: so no, no, that's fair. Now. Also, I don't understand
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: this one. Modify your food environment.
• 4:51
  Speaker 3: Yes, this is just as simple as making the foods
• 4:55
  Speaker 3: that you want to eat more readily available to you. So,
• 5:01
  Speaker 3: for example, my dried peaches, they sit at the very
• 5:04
  Speaker 3: front of the pantry so that they're right in my face.
• 5:07
  Speaker 3: So when I do go down and I want to snack,
• 5:10
  Speaker 3: that's one of the first things that I see. The
• 5:12
  Speaker 3: same with our prefliice carrots. They sit right in the
• 5:16
  Speaker 3: front of the fridge that way, that's the first thing
• 5:18
  Speaker 3: that I see, so it's super easy to grab that.
• 5:22
  Speaker 3: And having like desserts and treats on hand. You definitely
• 5:26
  Speaker 3: can do that. I just like to put them kind
• 5:29
  Speaker 3: of in the back of the fridge.
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: It's difficult to put a whole chocolate cake where I
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: can't see it though.
• 5:35
  Speaker 3: That is valid. That is valid. That takes put a
• 5:38
  Speaker 3: lot of space, for sure.
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: And I'm the opposite of that though. I'm up to that.
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: Because when you open up our main cupboard, the first
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: thing that's just right there, it's a Cheetoh bin, Like, yeah,
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: we fill a plastic, rubber made thing. It's filled with Cheetos.
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: It's see through. They look delicious.
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: It's right there. You shouldn't do that.
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: I should put that in the back.
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's not Yeah. You should modify your food and
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: environment today.
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: I'm taking notes. I'm sorry.
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: The regular meals, that's important.
• 6:08
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, So be consistent with your timing, with your
• 6:13
  Speaker 3: meal plan, all of that. Your body loves that consistency,
• 6:17
  Speaker 3: and it also helps us avoid becoming angry in the
• 6:20
  Speaker 3: middle of the day.
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: Elena, it's always a pleasure to talk to you. I
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: hope you have enjoyed the fireworks and uh, and we'll
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: talk to you in a couple of weeks. And stay safe. Okay, oh,
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: where can people go to find out more about this stuff?
• 6:36
  Speaker 3: Even learn more about this as well as Nightingale's amazing
• 6:39
  Speaker 3: programs by visiting Nightingale dot edu.
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: All right, thank you, all right, I just got to
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: get a smaller chocolate cake, smaller one. Yeah, well that's
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: not so nice.
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: Had a smaller Cheetos bin for the house.
