hard on what comes next. 34 00:01:36,300 --> 00:01:37,900 How many birds? 35 00:01:37,900 --> 00:01:39,500 It's all birds. 36 00:01:39,500 --> 00:01:43,800 How many lords of leaping dancing couple lords thrown in there. 37 00:01:43,800 --> 00:01:45,500 I'm into the 12 days. 38 00:01:45,500 --> 00:01:48,900 We're not quite at the 12 day mark yet. 39 00:01:48,900 --> 00:01:50,400 No, but we're getting there. 40 00:01:50,400 --> 00:01:55,500 I do want to start off by saying this episode title is a little misleading. 41 00:01:55,500 --> 00:01:57,600 The 12 hacks of fitness. 42 00:01:57,600 --> 00:01:58,400 Because guess what? 43 00:01:58,400 --> 00:01:59,800 I'm going to give you a little secret. 44 00:01:59,800 --> 00:02:01,000 Here's a hack. 45 00:02:01,000 --> 00:02:03,600 There is no hack. 46 00:02:03,600 --> 00:02:04,600 There is no hack. 47 00:02:04,600 --> 00:02:05,600 It's hard. 48 00:02:05,600 --> 00:02:11,400 It's hard work to keep yourself in check over the holidays with all the food and 49 00:02:11,400 --> 00:02:14,000 the busyness and just everything. 50 00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:15,100 Like it is very hard. 51 00:02:15,100 --> 00:02:18,000 It takes work and there's really. 52 00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:21,900 There is no secret sauce, if you will. 53 00:02:21,900 --> 00:02:23,900 You got to think about it. 54 00:02:23,900 --> 00:02:28,000 Is there a secret Santa? 55 00:02:28,000 --> 00:02:29,300 Not today. 56 00:02:29,300 --> 00:02:30,800 Well, he's the one with the secret sauce. 57 00:02:30,800 --> 00:02:33,100 So if he doesn't exist, that's why. 58 00:02:33,100 --> 00:02:37,400 Completely off topic, but on topic with Christmas. 59 00:02:37,400 --> 00:02:40,300 I saw a video last night of how to hack. 60 00:02:40,300 --> 00:02:42,000 This is why it came up for me. 61 00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:47,500 Christmas wrapping presents that are oblong or not the perfect square shape to 62 00:02:47,500 --> 00:02:50,700 be able to wrap and how to save your wrapping papers. 63 00:02:50,700 --> 00:02:53,800 So you're not like wasting paper on these like weird shapes. 64 00:02:53,800 --> 00:02:55,400 Oh, all I do is waste paper. 65 00:02:55,400 --> 00:02:56,300 Oh my God. 66 00:02:56,300 --> 00:02:58,800 I couldn't stop watching and I watched it like four times. 67 00:02:58,800 --> 00:03:00,300 Was it also calming? 68 00:03:00,300 --> 00:03:03,900 It's like they probably had nice music to it and they really know how to fold. 69 00:03:03,900 --> 00:03:06,100 I watch everything on mute. 70 00:03:06,100 --> 00:03:11,900 I watch everything on mute unless it absolutely like requires sound. 71 00:03:11,900 --> 00:03:13,700 I acted shocked, but so do I. 72 00:03:13,700 --> 00:03:14,300 Yeah. 73 00:03:14,300 --> 00:03:16,800 And if it's not captions, I scroll. 74 00:03:16,800 --> 00:03:17,600 I'm like, I'm not. 75 00:03:17,600 --> 00:03:18,300 I don't even want to. 76 00:03:18,300 --> 00:03:22,100 I know if there aren't any words like the lazy man scroll. 77 00:03:22,100 --> 00:03:25,900 This was not calming because there was dueted with a guy that was reacting to it. 78 00:03:25,900 --> 00:03:30,600 And he was in absolute shock as much as I was about how amazing these hacks were. 79 00:03:30,600 --> 00:03:33,100 Wait, what were they wrapping like a candle? 80 00:03:33,100 --> 00:03:36,500 Like it was a rectangle, but instead of trying to just fold it normally, 81 00:03:36,500 --> 00:03:40,100 you put it on the angle so the corners come in and then all of a sudden you have 82 00:03:40,100 --> 00:03:42,800 like the perfect shape and you're not wasting paper. 83 00:03:42,800 --> 00:03:43,500 Yeah, no. 84 00:03:43,500 --> 00:03:48,300 We're like how to make a bag out of the wrapping paper for like a weird object. 85 00:03:48,300 --> 00:03:51,100 That's if you don't want to use like an actual Christmas bag. 86 00:03:51,100 --> 00:03:53,500 Do you think you'll do it? 87 00:03:53,500 --> 00:03:54,100 Yes. 88 00:03:54,100 --> 00:03:54,800 Oh, yeah. 89 00:03:54,800 --> 00:03:55,600 Oh, yeah. 90 00:03:55,600 --> 00:03:58,800 I listen, you're all getting the same wrapping paper from last year. 91 00:03:58,800 --> 00:04:02,400 I did not buy any new wrapping paper, even though that's one of my weaknesses. 92 00:04:02,400 --> 00:04:06,900 You do like a good wrapping paper, but like every year there's cute stuff. 93 00:04:06,900 --> 00:04:08,100 Like there's a new pattern. 94 00:04:08,100 --> 00:04:10,900 There's a new elf. 95 00:04:10,900 --> 00:04:13,000 It's Will Ferrell's face everywhere. 96 00:04:13,000 --> 00:04:14,300 One year it was tacos. 97 00:04:14,300 --> 00:04:15,100 Yeah. 98 00:04:15,100 --> 00:04:15,600 So it's a mess. 99 00:04:15,600 --> 00:04:16,100 Tacos. 100 00:04:16,100 --> 00:04:20,300 I'm not doing that this year, but I will get creative and try to do it with like 101 00:04:20,300 --> 00:04:22,200 minimal tape and minimal wrapping paper. 102 00:04:22,200 --> 00:04:24,000 I can't wait to see. 103 00:04:24,000 --> 00:04:24,500 I can't wait to see. 104 00:04:24,500 --> 00:04:25,300 You're not getting any. 105 00:04:25,300 --> 00:04:27,100 Yeah, I forgot. 106 00:04:27,100 --> 00:04:29,900 I forgot we're not doing gifts. 107 00:04:29,900 --> 00:04:33,100 But we are. 108 00:04:33,100 --> 00:04:37,300 Okay. 109 00:04:37,300 --> 00:04:45,100 So just to be a little bit more clear and specific, our 12 hacks are between fitness, 110 00:04:45,100 --> 00:04:50,800 physical fitness, which pairs with mental fitness and food and lifestyle and getting 111 00:04:50,800 --> 00:04:53,700 through the holidays and the craze and the busyness. 112 00:04:53,700 --> 00:05:00,600 So the whole point of this, I think is for us to remind ourselves, yes, to slow down, 113 00:05:00,600 --> 00:05:05,300 but also there are ways to keep yourself accountable. 114 00:05:05,300 --> 00:05:05,700 Yes. 115 00:05:05,700 --> 00:05:10,500 That's what I meant by in check, I think, accountable and not beating yourself up 116 00:05:10,500 --> 00:05:11,500 throughout the holidays. 117 00:05:11,500 --> 00:05:17,700 You're going to see in some of mine, it's not all like, don't eat this. 118 00:05:17,700 --> 00:05:18,200 Eat that. 119 00:05:18,200 --> 00:05:18,700 Don't eat that. 120 00:05:18,700 --> 00:05:19,500 It's not restriction. 121 00:05:19,500 --> 00:05:20,400 No. 122 00:05:20,400 --> 00:05:25,900 So Carly's going to cover the lifestyle on food and I'm going to cover some fitness, 123 00:05:25,900 --> 00:05:29,800 workout, exercise type things. 124 00:05:29,800 --> 00:05:35,200 Yay, things on the first day of hacking. 125 00:05:35,200 --> 00:05:37,500 My fitness said to me. 126 00:05:37,500 --> 00:05:37,900 Yup. 127 00:05:37,900 --> 00:05:38,500 Love it. 128 00:05:38,500 --> 00:05:46,200 So my first tip is make the most of your time and that really just means if you don't have 129 00:05:46,200 --> 00:05:49,500 an hour, two hours to work out, that's okay. 130 00:05:49,500 --> 00:05:54,300 If you have 30 minutes and that's all you have, that's exactly what you need to do for 131 00:05:54,300 --> 00:05:54,900 that day. 132 00:05:54,900 --> 00:05:58,500 Put it in your schedule where it fits for that day. 133 00:05:58,500 --> 00:06:03,300 If you have 45 minutes, if you have an hour, whatever it is, it's enough. 134 00:06:03,300 --> 00:06:05,000 So you just have to make the most of your time. 135 00:06:05,000 --> 00:06:09,600 It's a lot of schedules of meeting family members and maybe people are coming into town. 136 00:06:09,600 --> 00:06:15,100 So if you know what your schedule is for the holiday season, especially as it gets a little 137 00:06:15,100 --> 00:06:21,300 bit closer at Christmas, you have to just be smart with where you can fit your workout 138 00:06:21,300 --> 00:06:22,100 and then get it done. 139 00:06:22,100 --> 00:06:23,900 God, just be smart. 140 00:06:23,900 --> 00:06:25,500 You is kind. 141 00:06:25,500 --> 00:06:27,300 You is smart. 142 00:06:27,300 --> 00:06:28,800 You is important. 143 00:06:28,800 --> 00:06:30,200 Man, I wasn't that smart. 144 00:06:30,200 --> 00:06:31,300 I couldn't remember. 145 00:06:31,300 --> 00:06:32,300 You just kept saying you is. 146 00:06:32,300 --> 00:06:34,300 I know. 147 00:06:34,300 --> 00:06:36,300 You is what, Carly? 148 00:06:36,300 --> 00:06:37,300 You is. 149 00:06:37,300 --> 00:06:39,900 You is ready for your first food tip. 150 00:06:39,900 --> 00:06:42,700 Here we go. 151 00:06:42,700 --> 00:06:45,400 My first one's called pregame. 152 00:06:45,400 --> 00:06:47,600 Ooh, pregame. 153 00:06:47,600 --> 00:06:51,800 Now, unfortunately, it's not the kind of pregame you are all thinking. 154 00:06:51,800 --> 00:06:57,400 My kind of food tip pregame is eat before you go to your event. 155 00:06:57,400 --> 00:06:57,600 Yeah. 156 00:06:57,600 --> 00:07:03,500 So what is so hard is that we tend to skip meals a lot during the holidays, which I know 157 00:07:03,500 --> 00:07:05,600 we talked about over Thanksgiving. 158 00:07:05,600 --> 00:07:06,600 Don't skip breakfast. 159 00:07:06,600 --> 00:07:07,600 I had breakfast. 160 00:07:07,600 --> 00:07:08,600 Oh, so did I. 161 00:07:08,600 --> 00:07:09,600 And it was so good. 162 00:07:09,600 --> 00:07:11,100 Well, so I almost skipped it. 163 00:07:11,100 --> 00:07:14,300 I know, but Andrew was like, don't you listen to your podcast? 164 00:07:14,300 --> 00:07:16,100 I'm making breakfast and you're going to eat it. 165 00:07:16,100 --> 00:07:18,300 And I was like, oh, yeah, gotta do that. 166 00:07:18,300 --> 00:07:20,100 She does actually listen to the podcast. 167 00:07:20,100 --> 00:07:20,600 I do. 168 00:07:20,600 --> 00:07:21,600 I listen to it every week. 169 00:07:21,600 --> 00:07:23,600 And apparently so does Andrew. 170 00:07:23,600 --> 00:07:25,900 I was unaware that he listened to it. 171 00:07:25,900 --> 00:07:30,600 But that just means don't skip meals, especially on the days, you know, like Christmas Eve 172 00:07:30,600 --> 00:07:31,800 and Christmas. 173 00:07:31,800 --> 00:07:36,800 But anytime you have an event where you know there's going to be food and you have no control 174 00:07:36,800 --> 00:07:41,600 over what kind of food that is, eat beforehand so that you're not going just like you wouldn't 175 00:07:41,600 --> 00:07:44,800 go grocery shopping, starving, or you shouldn't anyway. 176 00:07:44,800 --> 00:07:45,800 I do it way too often. 177 00:07:45,800 --> 00:07:46,800 I know. 178 00:07:46,800 --> 00:07:47,800 I do it all the time. 179 00:07:47,800 --> 00:07:49,300 Don't go to an event starving. 180 00:07:49,300 --> 00:07:54,240 So even if that's just like throwing some veggies in your mouth before you head out or, 181 00:07:54,240 --> 00:07:58,200 you know, chugging some water or just eat or drink something before you go. 182 00:07:58,200 --> 00:08:01,400 So you are not ravished when you get to a party. 183 00:08:01,400 --> 00:08:02,800 Do you mean ravenous? 184 00:08:02,800 --> 00:08:03,800 Yes. 185 00:08:03,800 --> 00:08:10,840 I'm also I'm also picturing a chipmunk like shoving vegetables in his mouth where your 186 00:08:10,840 --> 00:08:14,400 cheeks are like super big, but there's carrots and celery sticking out. 187 00:08:14,400 --> 00:08:16,400 I didn't listen to a word you just said. 188 00:08:16,400 --> 00:08:17,400 I'm ravished. 189 00:08:17,400 --> 00:08:20,400 I don't even know what it ravished me. 190 00:08:20,400 --> 00:08:23,400 I think ravished ravenous means hungry. 191 00:08:23,400 --> 00:08:25,400 Oh, you look ravishing. 192 00:08:25,400 --> 00:08:26,400 Oh, ravishing. 193 00:08:26,400 --> 00:08:27,400 Yeah. 194 00:08:27,400 --> 00:08:33,000 You can definitely look ravishing on your way to an event, but don't be ravenous with 195 00:08:33,000 --> 00:08:34,400 carrots sticking out of your mouth. 196 00:08:34,400 --> 00:08:35,400 Oh my gosh. 197 00:08:35,400 --> 00:08:36,400 Moving on. 198 00:08:36,400 --> 00:08:37,400 Okay. 199 00:08:37,400 --> 00:08:44,200 On the third day of Hackmas, it's just going to involve the entire show. 200 00:08:44,200 --> 00:08:45,800 Stay social. 201 00:08:45,800 --> 00:08:47,400 How does that pertain to fitness? 202 00:08:47,400 --> 00:08:50,920 I thought you were going to stay sober. 203 00:08:50,920 --> 00:08:52,400 Stay sober, everybody. 204 00:08:52,400 --> 00:08:55,040 No, that is not what we are preaching. 205 00:08:55,040 --> 00:08:56,600 Stay social. 206 00:08:56,600 --> 00:08:59,200 So how does that pertain to fitness? 207 00:08:59,200 --> 00:09:01,200 The buddy system. 208 00:09:01,200 --> 00:09:03,920 So in two different ways, the first one is the buddy system. 209 00:09:03,920 --> 00:09:08,880 So if it is easier for you to keep yourself accountable because a friend or a family member 210 00:09:08,880 --> 00:09:16,720 or your partner, whoever it is that is going to work out with you, do it. 211 00:09:16,720 --> 00:09:22,520 It's so much easier in twos or pairs or packs, whatever makes it work. 212 00:09:22,520 --> 00:09:27,000 And if it's not the buddy system, the second way is to do a group fitness class because 213 00:09:27,000 --> 00:09:33,120 that there's just so much, excuse me, there's so many benefits to a group fitness class 214 00:09:33,120 --> 00:09:36,680 that's not just sweating and burning calories and getting a good workout in. 215 00:09:36,680 --> 00:09:41,680 The group community is what keeps you having fun, forgetting you're working out, especially 216 00:09:41,680 --> 00:09:43,080 if you're at Seafit and you're elsewhere else. 217 00:09:43,080 --> 00:09:45,480 We can't really say that that's true. 218 00:09:45,480 --> 00:09:51,240 But the group atmosphere keeps you coming back, whether you're thinking about it or 219 00:09:51,240 --> 00:09:52,240 not. 220 00:09:52,240 --> 00:09:54,840 It's something subliminal in the back of your mind. 221 00:09:54,840 --> 00:10:05,000 So grab a buddy or get to your favorite Seafit, favorite group fitness studio or class and 222 00:10:05,000 --> 00:10:10,160 get it done that way because you will see that you'll actually get it done. 223 00:10:10,160 --> 00:10:12,880 I agree. 224 00:10:12,880 --> 00:10:14,000 So glad you don't object. 225 00:10:14,000 --> 00:10:15,000 Thank you. 226 00:10:15,000 --> 00:10:16,280 All right. 227 00:10:16,280 --> 00:10:19,920 Number four. 228 00:10:19,920 --> 00:10:21,920 Track the little things. 229 00:10:21,920 --> 00:10:29,920 Now I am a huge, so many things could be said after that. 230 00:10:29,920 --> 00:10:30,920 Dummy. 231 00:10:30,920 --> 00:10:35,280 I am a huge, what do you mean to say when you do this? 232 00:10:35,280 --> 00:10:38,640 Nobody knows what's in your head right now. 233 00:10:38,640 --> 00:10:39,640 Okay. 234 00:10:39,640 --> 00:10:42,880 In other words, no, I'm not an advocate for this. 235 00:10:42,880 --> 00:10:44,560 But I do this all the time. 236 00:10:44,560 --> 00:10:48,760 So I'm a huge doer of this. 237 00:10:48,760 --> 00:10:52,880 If you talk to me in person, I'm much better and articulate. 238 00:10:52,880 --> 00:10:55,000 Prove it. 239 00:10:55,000 --> 00:10:56,280 Culprit. 240 00:10:56,280 --> 00:10:57,280 Number four. 241 00:10:57,280 --> 00:10:59,280 I'm a huge culprit. 242 00:10:59,280 --> 00:11:01,280 Culprit. 243 00:11:01,280 --> 00:11:03,600 I am a huge culprit of this. 244 00:11:03,600 --> 00:11:10,040 God, you're so, you is smart. 245 00:11:10,040 --> 00:11:11,480 You is here, Riley. 246 00:11:11,480 --> 00:11:12,480 You is here. 247 00:11:12,480 --> 00:11:14,280 I showed up. 248 00:11:14,280 --> 00:11:15,280 Okay. 249 00:11:15,280 --> 00:11:18,880 So just so you know, we are quoting the help of the movie. 250 00:11:18,880 --> 00:11:19,880 Yes. 251 00:11:19,880 --> 00:11:20,880 Oh my God, yes. 252 00:11:20,880 --> 00:11:21,880 We're quoting the help. 253 00:11:21,880 --> 00:11:22,880 This is not another personality trait. 254 00:11:22,880 --> 00:11:23,880 Yeah. 255 00:11:23,880 --> 00:11:26,880 But if it were, we would be getting rid of it in the new year. 256 00:11:26,880 --> 00:11:27,880 Yeah. 257 00:11:27,880 --> 00:11:29,640 Don't cancel us. 258 00:11:29,640 --> 00:11:30,640 Number four. 259 00:11:30,640 --> 00:11:31,640 Track the little things. 260 00:11:31,640 --> 00:11:32,640 Okay. 261 00:11:32,640 --> 00:11:34,080 They all count. 262 00:11:34,080 --> 00:11:35,600 How are you a culprit of this? 263 00:11:35,600 --> 00:11:41,320 I am a culprit because tracking the little things means do not just pick on little things 264 00:11:41,320 --> 00:11:42,480 all day long. 265 00:11:42,480 --> 00:11:46,320 So if you need to think about this in your mind, like you're going for a cheese and cracker, 266 00:11:46,320 --> 00:11:50,560 you're going for a little bit of dip and cheese bread, you're going for a little bit of this, 267 00:11:50,560 --> 00:11:52,360 but it's not a meal. 268 00:11:52,360 --> 00:11:55,960 It's just grabbing and going and grazing. 269 00:11:55,960 --> 00:12:00,320 If you think about it as anytime you take like a little bit of something, it's about 270 00:12:00,320 --> 00:12:02,040 a hundred calories, right? 271 00:12:02,040 --> 00:12:03,280 So say you do that. 272 00:12:03,280 --> 00:12:04,280 I know. 273 00:12:04,280 --> 00:12:09,000 Say you do that about 10 times right there, not at any meal. 274 00:12:09,000 --> 00:12:10,600 It's like a thousand calories. 275 00:12:10,600 --> 00:12:14,520 That doesn't include drinking, alcohol, a dessert or anything. 276 00:12:14,520 --> 00:12:19,520 You're just literally picking nothing on nothing. 277 00:12:19,520 --> 00:12:24,760 So just be a little bit more aware of what you're putting in your mouth when you're just 278 00:12:24,760 --> 00:12:26,200 grabbing and going. 279 00:12:26,200 --> 00:12:30,400 Nothing that fills up probably the fat cells the most. 280 00:12:30,400 --> 00:12:31,400 Yeah. 281 00:12:31,400 --> 00:12:34,080 Like you're picking on nothing, but it makes the biggest impact. 282 00:12:34,080 --> 00:12:35,080 Exactly. 283 00:12:35,080 --> 00:12:39,760 So just, I'm not saying don't go for the apps, don't go for the little notches, but just 284 00:12:39,760 --> 00:12:41,320 and be aware of it in your mind. 285 00:12:41,320 --> 00:12:45,480 Like, maybe I'll just like have one or two, then I'll wait for dinner instead of just 286 00:12:45,480 --> 00:12:51,000 like grazing all day long, sit down and actually have the meal so that you won't grab and go. 287 00:12:51,000 --> 00:12:52,600 I'm a dip person. 288 00:12:52,600 --> 00:12:54,480 Like I love dips. 289 00:12:54,480 --> 00:12:55,480 Are you? 290 00:12:55,480 --> 00:12:56,480 Chips and dip. 291 00:12:56,480 --> 00:12:57,480 Yeah. 292 00:12:57,480 --> 00:13:02,320 Chips and salt I could eat until the day that I die, but like, I don't know. 293 00:13:02,320 --> 00:13:06,160 I could Martin short it on only murders in the building. 294 00:13:06,160 --> 00:13:07,640 He only eats dips. 295 00:13:07,640 --> 00:13:08,640 Gosh. 296 00:13:08,640 --> 00:13:10,920 That's just an extra hack. 297 00:13:10,920 --> 00:13:16,800 If you want to laugh really hard and be in a great headspace, go watch only murders in 298 00:13:16,800 --> 00:13:17,800 the building. 299 00:13:17,800 --> 00:13:18,800 Yeah. 300 00:13:18,800 --> 00:13:19,800 Go watch some murder. 301 00:13:19,800 --> 00:13:20,800 It's really funny though. 302 00:13:20,800 --> 00:13:22,120 It's a really good headspace, but he does. 303 00:13:22,120 --> 00:13:25,040 He only eats dips and it's part of the character that I really like. 304 00:13:25,040 --> 00:13:29,480 But yeah, don't do that. 305 00:13:29,480 --> 00:13:35,240 Plan your workouts in advance, which kind of goes with the buddy system because you got 306 00:13:35,240 --> 00:13:39,160 to plan that and it kind of goes with manage your time because you got to have to plan 307 00:13:39,160 --> 00:13:40,160 that. 308 00:13:40,160 --> 00:13:45,560 So it's just more of a hitchy upside of the head way to say, schedule it in. 309 00:13:45,560 --> 00:13:51,040 If you know that you have a party on Friday and you have also a party on Saturday and 310 00:13:51,040 --> 00:13:55,480 you have a brunch on Sunday because families in and friends are in town, that could be 311 00:13:55,480 --> 00:13:59,280 your entire December and probably into your beginning of January. 312 00:13:59,280 --> 00:14:00,280 Most likely. 313 00:14:00,280 --> 00:14:03,200 So this isn't just about like the week of Christmas. 314 00:14:03,200 --> 00:14:07,960 Write them down in your planner on your calendar on the computer, which I'm still haven't done. 315 00:14:07,960 --> 00:14:11,000 I like haven't tuned into 2023. 316 00:14:11,000 --> 00:14:16,360 I write things in an old fashioned planner and that is the only way you can get by in 317 00:14:16,360 --> 00:14:17,360 life. 318 00:14:17,360 --> 00:14:24,560 So if you write them down in whatever way you are putting ink down, you will be more inclined 319 00:14:24,560 --> 00:14:26,360 to follow through because it's there. 320 00:14:26,360 --> 00:14:27,480 It's part of like a list. 321 00:14:27,480 --> 00:14:28,800 It's part of your set schedule. 322 00:14:28,800 --> 00:14:35,120 It's as important as a meeting that you have on your calendar for work and as important 323 00:14:35,120 --> 00:14:39,040 as that brunch that you have with the friends that you haven't seen in a really long time. 324 00:14:39,040 --> 00:14:42,520 So if you get that workout in, then you don't have to think about it. 325 00:14:42,520 --> 00:14:48,400 And you go to brunch and you go to the cocktail hour, you go to Santa's. 326 00:14:48,400 --> 00:14:49,400 Santa's what? 327 00:14:49,400 --> 00:14:52,760 Santa's sleigh. 328 00:14:52,760 --> 00:14:53,760 Birthday bash buffet. 329 00:14:53,760 --> 00:14:54,760 I don't know. 330 00:14:54,760 --> 00:15:00,360 Santa's sleigh buffet. 331 00:15:00,360 --> 00:15:01,960 Plan your goddamn workouts. 332 00:15:01,960 --> 00:15:03,960 Just plan them, please. 333 00:15:03,960 --> 00:15:06,360 Santa's birthday bash. 334 00:15:06,360 --> 00:15:09,000 I couldn't think of another word for cocktail hour. 335 00:15:09,000 --> 00:15:11,280 You're such a culprit of that. 336 00:15:11,280 --> 00:15:14,880 I'm driving us right out. 337 00:15:14,880 --> 00:15:23,480 On the sixth day of Christmas, my hacker gave to me a lot of anxiety. 338 00:15:23,480 --> 00:15:25,720 I'm so tired. 339 00:15:25,720 --> 00:15:26,960 Oh my God, how'd you know? 340 00:15:26,960 --> 00:15:29,480 The next one kind of goes along with that. 341 00:15:29,480 --> 00:15:32,560 It means it's called factor in some leeway. 342 00:15:32,560 --> 00:15:39,120 So if you know you've got two parties on Friday and Saturday, it's okay. 343 00:15:39,120 --> 00:15:40,120 You can eat at them. 344 00:15:40,120 --> 00:15:41,240 You can drink at them. 345 00:15:41,240 --> 00:15:45,400 But leading up to it, maybe try and stay on track. 346 00:15:45,400 --> 00:15:49,520 We know there's events and you can't always eat healthy and sometimes you want to have 347 00:15:49,520 --> 00:15:51,640 that extra seventh glass of wine. 348 00:15:51,640 --> 00:15:53,640 And that's okay. 349 00:15:53,640 --> 00:15:55,440 Wait, is the seventh extra? 350 00:15:55,440 --> 00:15:58,360 That's where your extra is. 351 00:15:58,360 --> 00:15:59,360 That's the line. 352 00:15:59,360 --> 00:16:00,920 So a bottle and a half is your extra. 353 00:16:00,920 --> 00:16:01,920 Got it. 354 00:16:01,920 --> 00:16:02,920 Got it. 355 00:16:02,920 --> 00:16:03,920 Got it. 356 00:16:03,920 --> 00:16:08,240 Listen, nothing is going to ruin all of the progress if you made up into this point in 357 00:16:08,240 --> 00:16:10,120 24 hours. 358 00:16:10,120 --> 00:16:11,640 So enjoy it. 359 00:16:11,640 --> 00:16:12,640 Yes. 360 00:16:12,640 --> 00:16:17,280 However, leading up to it, try and, 80, 20, try and stay on track as much as you can 361 00:16:17,280 --> 00:16:20,880 so that when you do indulge, it's not such a hit. 362 00:16:20,880 --> 00:16:21,880 So factor it in. 363 00:16:21,880 --> 00:16:22,880 You know what's going to happen. 364 00:16:22,880 --> 00:16:24,880 Let it happen. 365 00:16:24,880 --> 00:16:32,240 And to the degree of your mental space for that, because for me, if I don't factor it 366 00:16:32,240 --> 00:16:38,960 in or be a little bit more strict before the event, I beat myself up at the event. 367 00:16:38,960 --> 00:16:40,160 And that's all I'm thinking about. 368 00:16:40,160 --> 00:16:41,800 Like, why did I have lunch? 369 00:16:41,800 --> 00:16:47,120 I shouldn't have had lunch or I shouldn't have had what I had at lunch versus just enjoying 370 00:16:47,120 --> 00:16:49,600 yourself at the gathering. 371 00:16:49,600 --> 00:16:51,280 Right, exactly. 372 00:16:51,280 --> 00:16:57,520 And you want to make sure you're mentally prepared so that you don't get upset about 373 00:16:57,520 --> 00:16:58,520 it. 374 00:16:58,520 --> 00:16:59,520 You want to enjoy it. 375 00:16:59,520 --> 00:17:01,640 The point of life, the point of the holiday is to enjoy it. 376 00:17:01,640 --> 00:17:03,440 And we want you to too. 377 00:17:03,440 --> 00:17:05,160 We want you to do. 378 00:17:05,160 --> 00:17:06,160 You do, do, do. 379 00:17:06,160 --> 00:17:07,160 I do. 380 00:17:07,160 --> 00:17:08,160 Do, do, do. 381 00:17:08,160 --> 00:17:14,920 But we also want you to be happy with yourself and the decisions you're making so if you 382 00:17:14,920 --> 00:17:20,560 can sort of balance that out, you got to make, you got to know what's going to happen, be 383 00:17:20,560 --> 00:17:23,760 okay with it and move it along. 384 00:17:23,760 --> 00:17:25,120 Yeah. 385 00:17:25,120 --> 00:17:30,480 Exercise with variety. 386 00:17:30,480 --> 00:17:34,480 And yes, to keep you interested. 387 00:17:34,480 --> 00:17:40,240 And what that means, I guess, before I get into that is that change up your workouts. 388 00:17:40,240 --> 00:17:44,920 If you are a seven day a week work out or a six day week or a five day week, change it 389 00:17:44,920 --> 00:17:45,920 up. 390 00:17:45,920 --> 00:17:47,760 Don't do the exact same thing every single day. 391 00:17:47,760 --> 00:17:51,160 That could also mean change up the location of your workout. 392 00:17:51,160 --> 00:17:55,840 So if you have a gym membership and a C-fit membership, just go to C-fit. 393 00:17:55,840 --> 00:18:01,440 Flip, flip, flip between the two. 394 00:18:01,440 --> 00:18:03,320 C-fit alone has a lot of variety. 395 00:18:03,320 --> 00:18:04,320 Yes. 396 00:18:04,320 --> 00:18:08,880 So if it is just C-fit and that's all that you do, go to all the different classes. 397 00:18:08,880 --> 00:18:11,320 Just stick to the cardio dance that you like. 398 00:18:11,320 --> 00:18:16,000 Go to the six, 10 weight class, go to the resistance band and ball class, go to the 399 00:18:16,000 --> 00:18:21,720 cardio, go to the hip class, go to the pilates, yoga, all those are important. 400 00:18:21,720 --> 00:18:29,120 So now that we've kind of said everything that we offer at C-fit, the reason that the 401 00:18:29,120 --> 00:18:32,960 variety not only helps your mental space of being like, oh, I'm not doing the same thing 402 00:18:32,960 --> 00:18:33,960 over and over again. 403 00:18:33,960 --> 00:18:34,960 How boring. 404 00:18:34,960 --> 00:18:35,960 I don't want to do this anymore. 405 00:18:35,960 --> 00:18:39,040 I want to stop and just go to the Christmas parties. 406 00:18:39,040 --> 00:18:42,440 It also keeps your metabolism working for you. 407 00:18:42,440 --> 00:18:47,720 So when you switch up the workouts, not necessarily muscle confusion, just metabolism keeps working 408 00:18:47,720 --> 00:18:53,160 because what it's doing is that you're doing a cardio class on Monday and then on Tuesday, 409 00:18:53,160 --> 00:18:57,000 yes, there's cardio involved with weights because your heart rate gets up and you do 410 00:18:57,000 --> 00:19:01,520 start to sweat and your muscles are working for you, but weight training is very different 411 00:19:01,520 --> 00:19:02,720 than cardio. 412 00:19:02,720 --> 00:19:08,000 And that keeps your metabolism at its peak of like, oh, cool, we got to do this now. 413 00:19:08,000 --> 00:19:11,400 We're not going to get used to this because the next day you're going to do some resistance 414 00:19:11,400 --> 00:19:14,320 band training and it's a little bit of Pilates and yoga. 415 00:19:14,320 --> 00:19:15,600 And then you go back to cardio. 416 00:19:15,600 --> 00:19:20,440 So that variety is yes for your mental space of wanting to continue it and then yes for 417 00:19:20,440 --> 00:19:25,000 your metabolism to keep working for you so that you can go to those parties and not think 418 00:19:25,000 --> 00:19:26,000 about it too hard. 419 00:19:26,000 --> 00:19:27,000 Right. 420 00:19:27,000 --> 00:19:29,000 I, I agree. 421 00:19:29,000 --> 00:19:34,600 All right, it's called holiday spirits. 422 00:19:34,600 --> 00:19:43,360 That means enjoy them, but try and pick the clearer the alcohol, the better for you. 423 00:19:43,360 --> 00:19:46,440 Now yes, all alcohol is a poison. 424 00:19:46,440 --> 00:19:47,440 We all know that. 425 00:19:47,440 --> 00:19:48,440 Yeah. 426 00:19:48,440 --> 00:19:53,000 It's not great for you, but we all, we all do it. 427 00:19:53,000 --> 00:19:55,120 We all do it and it's okay. 428 00:19:55,120 --> 00:20:03,880 But try and make the healthier, less calorie alcohol, which is actually champagne, clear 429 00:20:03,880 --> 00:20:04,880 liquor. 430 00:20:04,880 --> 00:20:05,880 Be careful. 431 00:20:05,880 --> 00:20:07,720 I know the hangovers are horrible. 432 00:20:07,720 --> 00:20:09,400 Be careful with champagne. 433 00:20:09,400 --> 00:20:12,840 But the calories versus a glass of wine. 434 00:20:12,840 --> 00:20:13,840 Yeah. 435 00:20:13,840 --> 00:20:16,840 Champagne is about 84 depending on the type of wine. 436 00:20:16,840 --> 00:20:18,560 It's like 130. 437 00:20:18,560 --> 00:20:21,640 So are we talking about one glass or your seven? 438 00:20:21,640 --> 00:20:22,960 Oh, oh, listen. 439 00:20:22,960 --> 00:20:25,320 Once we get past the two, we stop counting calories. 440 00:20:25,320 --> 00:20:26,320 Oh yeah. 441 00:20:26,320 --> 00:20:28,600 And it's just a free for all. 442 00:20:28,600 --> 00:20:30,320 I was going to say a free ball. 443 00:20:30,320 --> 00:20:34,440 It's not, maybe it's a free ball after the seven, but free ball. 444 00:20:34,440 --> 00:20:36,600 Oh God. 445 00:20:36,600 --> 00:20:41,600 But just try and stick to the clearer alcohols, the vodka, you know, mixed with gin. 446 00:20:41,600 --> 00:20:42,600 I know. 447 00:20:42,600 --> 00:20:43,600 You love like gin. 448 00:20:43,600 --> 00:20:44,600 Me. 449 00:20:44,600 --> 00:20:45,600 Me. 450 00:20:45,600 --> 00:20:46,600 I do. 451 00:20:46,600 --> 00:20:47,600 I love gin. 452 00:20:47,600 --> 00:20:53,280 But maybe try and stay away from, you know, anything with a juice in it, like a mimosa, 453 00:20:53,280 --> 00:20:56,240 like the orange juice, plus the alcohol. 454 00:20:56,240 --> 00:20:57,480 Sugar is always a bad mix. 455 00:20:57,480 --> 00:20:58,480 Yeah. 456 00:20:58,480 --> 00:20:59,480 So just keep it clear. 457 00:20:59,480 --> 00:21:02,160 That means no Med-Alph for you. 458 00:21:02,160 --> 00:21:04,720 Oh, you know what? 459 00:21:04,720 --> 00:21:06,280 I'm growing up these days. 460 00:21:06,280 --> 00:21:09,560 I don't need to buy my alcohol with how cute the label is. 461 00:21:09,560 --> 00:21:11,600 Do you like that beer? 462 00:21:11,600 --> 00:21:12,760 I know I do like that beer. 463 00:21:12,760 --> 00:21:13,760 I'll probably have one. 464 00:21:13,760 --> 00:21:15,400 You can have more than one, Carly. 465 00:21:15,400 --> 00:21:16,400 It's called Balance. 466 00:21:16,400 --> 00:21:17,800 I'm seven. 467 00:21:17,800 --> 00:21:20,920 It is go big or go home. 468 00:21:20,920 --> 00:21:23,840 Like there is that is our problem for most things. 469 00:21:23,840 --> 00:21:24,840 Our M.O. 470 00:21:24,840 --> 00:21:25,840 Yeah. 471 00:21:25,840 --> 00:21:26,840 For absolutely most things. 472 00:21:26,840 --> 00:21:29,640 Like the other day I threw one pair of pants on the floor because I didn't have time to 473 00:21:29,640 --> 00:21:30,640 put them away. 474 00:21:30,640 --> 00:21:32,920 You should see what my bedroom looks like now. 475 00:21:32,920 --> 00:21:36,640 I can't find my carpet because I just was like, well, there's one on the floor. 476 00:21:36,640 --> 00:21:37,640 I'm over it. 477 00:21:37,640 --> 00:21:38,640 It's done. 478 00:21:38,640 --> 00:21:39,640 Yeah. 479 00:21:39,640 --> 00:21:40,640 Now you all know what I'm doing later. 480 00:21:40,640 --> 00:21:41,640 That's us. 481 00:21:41,640 --> 00:21:50,360 So this one, this one's more mental than physical fitness and it kind of goes with everything 482 00:21:50,360 --> 00:21:57,520 that you're saying about food is that when you're going into the holiday season, which 483 00:21:57,520 --> 00:21:59,800 yes, started at Thanksgiving, right? 484 00:21:59,800 --> 00:22:04,320 But now that we're in December, don't think you're going to lose weight. 485 00:22:04,320 --> 00:22:11,600 I was going to say this just as an extra tidbit, but yes, maintaining is where you should 486 00:22:11,600 --> 00:22:15,400 keep your head space of how to get through the holidays. 487 00:22:15,400 --> 00:22:20,280 Like you can't think you're going to go into January with keeping a good balance of having 488 00:22:20,280 --> 00:22:27,080 fun and going to the gatherings and being a part of your social circle and truly being 489 00:22:27,080 --> 00:22:33,680 present in those moments and indulging and then the 20% of being strict on your normal 490 00:22:33,680 --> 00:22:39,400 days, your work days, whatever that may be and think that you're going to lose weight. 491 00:22:39,400 --> 00:22:40,400 You know? 492 00:22:40,400 --> 00:22:42,160 It's setting you up for failure. 493 00:22:42,160 --> 00:22:46,720 It's setting you up for failure to think January, the skill is going to be 10 pounds lighter 494 00:22:46,720 --> 00:22:49,080 after getting through December. 495 00:22:49,080 --> 00:22:53,440 The only way that would be the case is if you do not have fun. 496 00:22:53,440 --> 00:22:54,440 You know? 497 00:22:54,440 --> 00:22:55,440 You don't enjoy. 498 00:22:55,440 --> 00:22:56,440 You don't enjoy yourself. 499 00:22:56,440 --> 00:22:57,440 You don't enjoy Christmas Day. 500 00:22:57,440 --> 00:22:58,720 You don't enjoy Christmas Eve. 501 00:22:58,720 --> 00:23:01,200 If Christmas is your holiday, Hanukkah, same thing. 502 00:23:01,200 --> 00:23:03,880 There are eight days for you to eat those matzah balls. 503 00:23:03,880 --> 00:23:04,880 Okay? 504 00:23:04,880 --> 00:23:08,920 I don't know what they're made out of, but I don't think they're vegetables. 505 00:23:08,920 --> 00:23:11,800 I would have to agree with you. 506 00:23:11,800 --> 00:23:17,760 Whatever holiday you celebrate, you just have to keep the maintenance as the priority. 507 00:23:17,760 --> 00:23:19,240 I went to the workout today. 508 00:23:19,240 --> 00:23:20,760 I did a good job today. 509 00:23:20,760 --> 00:23:25,840 I'm going to the Christmas work party tonight and I'm going to have a good time. 510 00:23:25,840 --> 00:23:27,760 The next day is the same type of thing. 511 00:23:27,760 --> 00:23:32,200 Maybe there's no work party, but you're going to go out or you're going to go to the gym 512 00:23:32,200 --> 00:23:37,320 and then the next day is a different day and you just get through each day being proud 513 00:23:37,320 --> 00:23:42,520 of whatever you did for yourself and also having a really good time enjoying your life. 514 00:23:42,520 --> 00:23:48,200 Now, what that doesn't mean and how some people get into a slippery slope because I did a 515 00:23:48,200 --> 00:23:53,120 real slippery slope for, I don't know, eight years is I'm going to work out really hard 516 00:23:53,120 --> 00:23:57,640 in the morning and I'm going to eat whatever I want every single night at the event. 517 00:23:57,640 --> 00:24:00,520 No, you can't do that. 518 00:24:00,520 --> 00:24:04,640 That is because once, two, three, four times it happens. 519 00:24:04,640 --> 00:24:10,040 That's when you begin to fall off the wagon a little bit and that's where it can get a 520 00:24:10,040 --> 00:24:12,920 little harder to get back on. 521 00:24:12,920 --> 00:24:17,000 Not because your workouts aren't going to start counting and the calories or the food 522 00:24:17,000 --> 00:24:21,360 that you're eating are going to just become basically fat. 523 00:24:21,360 --> 00:24:26,520 It's because the poor choices in food every single night, even though you're working out 524 00:24:26,520 --> 00:24:31,120 really hard, start to weigh heavy on your mind. 525 00:24:31,120 --> 00:24:34,640 The poisons from those food, I'm going to use the word poison just because that makes 526 00:24:34,640 --> 00:24:39,080 a little bit more sense, starts to poison your mind to be like, I actually don't feel 527 00:24:39,080 --> 00:24:40,080 good this morning. 528 00:24:40,080 --> 00:24:41,080 I'm going to not go to my workout. 529 00:24:41,080 --> 00:24:44,120 I'll do it later and then later comes in, you're not going to do your workout later 530 00:24:44,120 --> 00:24:47,960 and then the party comes that night, but you're going to the party. 531 00:24:47,960 --> 00:24:50,200 Then that is where the cycle really starts to begin. 532 00:24:50,200 --> 00:24:54,880 It's not because your workouts not canceling your food or your food is too much like that. 533 00:24:54,880 --> 00:24:56,880 Don't get into that. 534 00:24:56,880 --> 00:24:58,760 Maintaining is the goal. 535 00:24:58,760 --> 00:25:06,520 Maintaining your physical workout routine, maintaining the balance in your food and fun 536 00:25:06,520 --> 00:25:13,240 party lifestyle through the holidays and maintaining your mental headspace to allow yourself to 537 00:25:13,240 --> 00:25:17,480 indulge and have fun, but keep your health journey on track. 538 00:25:17,480 --> 00:25:18,640 All right. 539 00:25:18,640 --> 00:25:21,880 We've come to my favorite one. 540 00:25:21,880 --> 00:25:24,600 It's called dessert me. 541 00:25:24,600 --> 00:25:27,160 It means have dessert. 542 00:25:27,160 --> 00:25:36,240 If you constantly push it away or say, I'm not having dessert tonight, chances are at 543 00:25:36,240 --> 00:25:42,160 this event, set event or whatever, you're going to go overboard because when you restrict 544 00:25:42,160 --> 00:25:47,520 yourself so much, you tend to go the opposite way when you get the chance. 545 00:25:47,520 --> 00:25:56,440 So, yes, have dessert, portion it out, only have one or get a small plate, not the big 546 00:25:56,440 --> 00:26:00,960 plate, get a small plate and have little bits of all the things you want to try. 547 00:26:00,960 --> 00:26:01,960 And that is it. 548 00:26:01,960 --> 00:26:02,960 I did that at Thanksgiving. 549 00:26:02,960 --> 00:26:03,960 Did you? 550 00:26:03,960 --> 00:26:05,560 We went together, so I don't know. 551 00:26:05,560 --> 00:26:12,280 We went to a country club for Thanksgiving this year for those of you who were there 552 00:26:12,280 --> 00:26:16,880 and decided to join us for Thanksgiving this year, the family members that wanted to be 553 00:26:16,880 --> 00:26:17,880 here. 554 00:26:17,880 --> 00:26:18,880 Oh my God. 555 00:26:18,880 --> 00:26:19,880 Shut. 556 00:26:19,880 --> 00:26:20,880 Yes, face. 557 00:26:20,880 --> 00:26:22,120 And so obviously it was buffet. 558 00:26:22,120 --> 00:26:24,400 So dinner was awesome. 559 00:26:24,400 --> 00:26:26,480 And we were going back to Carly's house. 560 00:26:26,480 --> 00:26:27,480 I wasn't there. 561 00:26:27,480 --> 00:26:30,960 Sans Carly and Andrew and the kids to have dessert. 562 00:26:30,960 --> 00:26:35,280 However, they did have a dessert table and it was your normal like pumpkin pie, apple 563 00:26:35,280 --> 00:26:39,920 pie and then I think they're called like tarts. 564 00:26:39,920 --> 00:26:40,920 Just like little. 565 00:26:40,920 --> 00:26:41,920 Yeah, yeah, yeah. 566 00:26:41,920 --> 00:26:42,920 They weren't like fruit. 567 00:26:42,920 --> 00:26:43,920 So I'm not tart. 568 00:26:43,920 --> 00:26:44,920 I don't mean tart in that way, I guess. 569 00:26:44,920 --> 00:26:45,920 Fruit cakes. 570 00:26:45,920 --> 00:26:48,280 Like little, they look like quiches. 571 00:26:48,280 --> 00:26:49,360 Yeah, okay. 572 00:26:49,360 --> 00:26:52,280 But it was a cherry pie. 573 00:26:52,280 --> 00:26:53,280 Yeah. 574 00:26:53,280 --> 00:26:56,240 And cheesecake and like there were little bites of that. 575 00:26:56,240 --> 00:27:02,280 So I got a small dessert plate and I put the ones that looked enticing to me. 576 00:27:02,280 --> 00:27:05,360 There weren't too many options, but there were at least five or six, which is a lot. 577 00:27:05,360 --> 00:27:06,360 Yeah. 578 00:27:06,360 --> 00:27:10,960 I think all of that together would be a very giant, giant piece of pie or cake. 579 00:27:10,960 --> 00:27:14,640 And I took a bite and if I wasn't like, oh my God, I love this. 580 00:27:14,640 --> 00:27:15,640 I didn't finish it. 581 00:27:15,640 --> 00:27:16,640 Yeah. 582 00:27:16,640 --> 00:27:20,680 But I felt really good about myself because I was like, I took advantage of what was offered 583 00:27:20,680 --> 00:27:25,480 to me since we're paying for Thanksgiving like this, but I also didn't just eat it because 584 00:27:25,480 --> 00:27:26,480 it was there. 585 00:27:26,480 --> 00:27:27,480 Right. 586 00:27:27,480 --> 00:27:28,480 Like I tried it. 587 00:27:28,480 --> 00:27:29,480 I wasn't a big fan cheesecake. 588 00:27:29,480 --> 00:27:30,480 I totally ate the entire cheesecake. 589 00:27:30,480 --> 00:27:31,480 Was it good? 590 00:27:31,480 --> 00:27:32,480 Yeah. 591 00:27:32,480 --> 00:27:33,480 And it was the size of your thumb. 592 00:27:33,480 --> 00:27:34,480 So like it wasn't horrible. 593 00:27:34,480 --> 00:27:35,480 Now, portions. 594 00:27:35,480 --> 00:27:43,040 I did go to your house and house a lot of things that were made that like, yes. 595 00:27:43,040 --> 00:27:46,680 So only listen to the first half of what I just said. 596 00:27:46,680 --> 00:27:53,040 But to piggyback off of what you said, that restriction, which is not because I restrict 597 00:27:53,040 --> 00:27:55,800 myself with those bites, I felt very happy about that. 598 00:27:55,800 --> 00:28:00,800 And if we had ended the night, I would not have even had another thing to eat. 599 00:28:00,800 --> 00:28:04,240 Like I felt really good about what I did on Thanksgiving, especially with dessert because 600 00:28:04,240 --> 00:28:06,360 that's my thing. 601 00:28:06,360 --> 00:28:12,520 But because I restrict myself so much, what you end up doing if you're anything like me 602 00:28:12,520 --> 00:28:14,080 is like you try to sneak things. 603 00:28:14,080 --> 00:28:15,080 I know. 604 00:28:15,080 --> 00:28:19,440 All of a sudden, the sneaking becomes like four or five pieces of things and you feel 605 00:28:19,440 --> 00:28:20,440 horrible. 606 00:28:20,440 --> 00:28:21,440 Yeah. 607 00:28:21,440 --> 00:28:22,880 And you're only sneaking them from yourself. 608 00:28:22,880 --> 00:28:23,880 Not exactly. 609 00:28:23,880 --> 00:28:28,120 Like the only person that you're trying to hide the desserts from is yourself. 610 00:28:28,120 --> 00:28:29,120 Exactly. 611 00:28:29,120 --> 00:28:30,120 Yeah. 612 00:28:30,120 --> 00:28:31,760 Which is like so mental and stupid. 613 00:28:31,760 --> 00:28:34,440 Just tell everybody that you drink a bottle and a half of wine. 614 00:28:34,440 --> 00:28:37,480 Tell everybody it's fine. 615 00:28:37,480 --> 00:28:38,480 It's a different problem. 616 00:28:38,480 --> 00:28:39,480 It's a different problem. 617 00:28:39,480 --> 00:28:41,920 But I don't want to restrict myself. 618 00:28:41,920 --> 00:28:42,920 Yeah. 619 00:28:42,920 --> 00:28:43,920 Okay. 620 00:28:43,920 --> 00:28:46,240 I'm going to get some dangerous water and that's really not what we're talking about 621 00:28:46,240 --> 00:28:47,240 here. 622 00:28:47,240 --> 00:28:48,240 She knows that. 623 00:28:48,240 --> 00:28:49,240 She's kidding. 624 00:28:49,240 --> 00:28:51,800 Nobody call us or Texas and say that you're concerned about Carly. 625 00:28:51,800 --> 00:28:56,080 It's really just me knowing that I shouldn't be doing something and I'm eating it because 626 00:28:56,080 --> 00:28:58,880 it's there and just because I think I'm never going to get it again. 627 00:28:58,880 --> 00:28:59,880 I know. 628 00:28:59,880 --> 00:29:00,880 We're going to be here again. 629 00:29:00,880 --> 00:29:01,880 We talk about this all the time. 630 00:29:01,880 --> 00:29:02,880 All the time. 631 00:29:02,880 --> 00:29:05,000 Because people think every meal is the last meal. 632 00:29:05,000 --> 00:29:06,000 Yeah. 633 00:29:06,000 --> 00:29:07,800 And it's totally BS because guess what? 634 00:29:07,800 --> 00:29:11,640 Thanksgiving happened and that exact same dessert situation is going to happen a month 635 00:29:11,640 --> 00:29:12,640 later. 636 00:29:12,640 --> 00:29:13,640 A month later. 637 00:29:13,640 --> 00:29:19,360 I love this one and it's something that I really need to remind myself at those only 638 00:29:19,360 --> 00:29:20,880 major Christmas night. 639 00:29:20,880 --> 00:29:22,920 Like gatherings on time. 640 00:29:22,920 --> 00:29:24,200 But that's fine. 641 00:29:24,200 --> 00:29:31,560 And the thing is you can have those desserts if you've been for the most part on your game 642 00:29:31,560 --> 00:29:32,560 up until then. 643 00:29:32,560 --> 00:29:33,560 You know what I mean? 644 00:29:33,560 --> 00:29:34,560 Like yes. 645 00:29:34,560 --> 00:29:36,600 Go ahead and have the desserts. 646 00:29:36,600 --> 00:29:37,600 Enjoy it. 647 00:29:37,600 --> 00:29:38,680 Love it. 648 00:29:38,680 --> 00:29:40,040 You know have three. 649 00:29:40,040 --> 00:29:41,040 You know. 650 00:29:41,040 --> 00:29:42,040 But no. 651 00:29:42,040 --> 00:29:43,040 Yeah. 652 00:29:43,040 --> 00:29:44,040 I could put her love it. 653 00:29:44,040 --> 00:29:45,040 Have three of them. 654 00:29:45,040 --> 00:29:49,920 But just know that you got to get back up the next day and you got to keep it moving and 655 00:29:49,920 --> 00:29:55,920 you got to get back on track and you can't keep going like Christmas or Thanksgiving every 656 00:29:55,920 --> 00:29:56,920 single day. 657 00:29:56,920 --> 00:29:58,080 That's when the problem starts. 658 00:29:58,080 --> 00:30:05,840 So don't restrict yourself but portion make good decisions and eat the dessert basically. 659 00:30:05,840 --> 00:30:07,960 Sometimes that's my gauge on a regular day. 660 00:30:07,960 --> 00:30:08,960 What? 661 00:30:08,960 --> 00:30:10,640 I could eat this right now. 662 00:30:10,640 --> 00:30:15,400 I probably would enjoy eating this right now and I would be okay with it. 663 00:30:15,400 --> 00:30:17,840 But I really don't want to feel horrible tomorrow morning. 664 00:30:17,840 --> 00:30:20,760 So sometimes I don't do it most of the time I don't do it. 665 00:30:20,760 --> 00:30:23,480 And the next morning I'm like so glad I didn't do that. 666 00:30:23,480 --> 00:30:26,000 And I could have it tonight or I could have it another day. 667 00:30:26,000 --> 00:30:27,840 Like these things are going to be there for you. 668 00:30:27,840 --> 00:30:37,080 And the feeling of feeling good when you wake up is better than any wine honestly because 669 00:30:37,080 --> 00:30:42,760 we've talked about this before like no one likes to wake up with a headache or feeling 670 00:30:42,760 --> 00:30:47,040 bad or just being like, oh man I should have just had one glass of wine. 671 00:30:47,040 --> 00:30:49,520 And I would have been fine you know. 672 00:30:49,520 --> 00:30:58,160 So I think restrict to a point and then just be better at knowing what enough is enough. 673 00:30:58,160 --> 00:31:05,600 I would like to put a little pause on today's activities to let the world know that Carly 674 00:31:05,600 --> 00:31:13,480 is totally fine and she only really drinks at social events for holidays and our past 675 00:31:13,480 --> 00:31:15,800 used to be go big or go home. 676 00:31:15,800 --> 00:31:17,960 Like yeah didn't know how to stop ourselves. 677 00:31:17,960 --> 00:31:21,760 We should do a whole episode on just that's actually a good idea. 678 00:31:21,760 --> 00:31:26,080 We would have so much fun with it that our next day and the night of would be ruined 679 00:31:26,080 --> 00:31:31,000 where our stomachs are genetics and alcohol do not mix at all. 680 00:31:31,000 --> 00:31:35,680 So well when you don't drink ever and then you go big or go home because you're like, 681 00:31:35,680 --> 00:31:37,600 oh it's my one night out for six months. 682 00:31:37,600 --> 00:31:38,600 Yeah. 683 00:31:38,600 --> 00:31:41,680 I mean it's the one night out for six months. 684 00:31:41,680 --> 00:31:45,800 So Carly drank a Thanksgiving and she has not since. 685 00:31:45,800 --> 00:31:50,800 I just everybody needs to know she's not drinking seven glasses of wine every night 686 00:31:50,800 --> 00:31:56,680 and or to aid us her therapy. 687 00:31:56,680 --> 00:32:00,960 Back to the program at hand. 688 00:32:00,960 --> 00:32:04,200 But I will accept wine anytime you want to leave it on my car. 689 00:32:04,200 --> 00:32:05,400 You just make things worse. 690 00:32:05,400 --> 00:32:06,400 Oh, all right. 691 00:32:06,400 --> 00:32:08,400 Why are people leaving wine at your car? 692 00:32:08,400 --> 00:32:09,400 I don't know. 693 00:32:09,400 --> 00:32:11,240 They left gummy worms on your car. 694 00:32:11,240 --> 00:32:15,280 Wooder melons, candy. 695 00:32:15,280 --> 00:32:18,520 You said on a podcast one time my favorite candy is wooder melon and the next day you 696 00:32:18,520 --> 00:32:19,520 got wooder melon. 697 00:32:19,520 --> 00:32:25,480 So I'm telling you my favorite wine is predator wine and I drive a black car. 698 00:32:25,480 --> 00:32:27,520 A black Honda pilot. 699 00:32:27,520 --> 00:32:29,520 That looks like it's been through the ringer. 700 00:32:29,520 --> 00:32:35,560 Okay, so the car itself could use a bottle of wine. 701 00:32:35,560 --> 00:32:41,040 Anyway, all right, last one of mine. 702 00:32:41,040 --> 00:32:51,040 Keep it active with your seasonal social activities, not just in your gym or your C-Fit studio. 703 00:32:51,040 --> 00:32:57,080 If you're going to gather and do events, do things where you have to walk a lot and of 704 00:32:57,080 --> 00:33:02,080 course bundle and dress appropriately, but maybe go ice skating in Bryant Park in New 705 00:33:02,080 --> 00:33:04,600 York City, become a Hallmark movie. 706 00:33:04,600 --> 00:33:09,880 Do the things that keep you moving instead of just sitting down to have conversations. 707 00:33:09,880 --> 00:33:15,520 Keep the conversations active if you have the types of group of people that can be active 708 00:33:15,520 --> 00:33:16,840 with you. 709 00:33:16,840 --> 00:33:19,520 So the one, it keeps you moving. 710 00:33:19,520 --> 00:33:24,120 It keeps you from, if you're having the meal at the restaurant, then you walk around your 711 00:33:24,120 --> 00:33:27,560 town or the city or whatever you're doing, that helps the process. 712 00:33:27,560 --> 00:33:30,720 That makes you feel a little bit better and then you go to the bar, you know, whatever. 713 00:33:30,720 --> 00:33:32,720 I'm giving you a whole list of things to do here. 714 00:33:32,720 --> 00:33:35,480 This is great advice. 715 00:33:35,480 --> 00:33:36,480 I won't be doing any of it. 716 00:33:36,480 --> 00:33:38,160 I'll be sitting on my couch all night. 717 00:33:38,160 --> 00:33:44,560 But if you gather with people, try to keep it a little bit active and what I mean by 718 00:33:44,560 --> 00:33:48,720 active is you're not going to drop and do burpees on the street with your fur coat. 719 00:33:48,720 --> 00:33:50,560 You're going to just walk around. 720 00:33:50,560 --> 00:33:54,920 You're going to enjoy the Christmas lights or the holiday lights and you're going to 721 00:33:54,920 --> 00:33:58,560 go ice skating and you're going to throw snowballs if it's snowing. 722 00:33:58,560 --> 00:33:59,960 Like you just keep it moving. 723 00:33:59,960 --> 00:34:02,960 Go bowling, go do anything like that. 724 00:34:02,960 --> 00:34:04,080 That's seasonal. 725 00:34:04,080 --> 00:34:07,080 I love Christmas bowling. 726 00:34:07,080 --> 00:34:11,040 It's my favorite. 727 00:34:11,040 --> 00:34:12,040 Christmas bowling? 728 00:34:12,040 --> 00:34:13,040 Yeah. 729 00:34:13,040 --> 00:34:14,040 Keep it seasonal. 730 00:34:14,040 --> 00:34:15,040 But go bowling. 731 00:34:15,040 --> 00:34:16,040 Are you done? 732 00:34:16,040 --> 00:34:32,520 After your Christmas bowling, I want you, this is our last one, holiday proof your plan. 733 00:34:32,520 --> 00:34:36,360 Pretty much everything we've said today, put it all together. 734 00:34:36,360 --> 00:34:37,600 Don't skip meals. 735 00:34:37,600 --> 00:34:39,400 Get active. 736 00:34:39,400 --> 00:34:40,400 Plan it out. 737 00:34:40,400 --> 00:34:46,800 Couldn't be more important for your holiday to keep to maintain. 738 00:34:46,800 --> 00:34:49,200 And if you slip up, it's okay. 739 00:34:49,200 --> 00:34:50,920 Get right back into it. 740 00:34:50,920 --> 00:34:52,280 Get back on your game. 741 00:34:52,280 --> 00:34:55,880 Even if you slip up for two days, just make sure you don't make it three. 742 00:34:55,880 --> 00:35:04,320 You know, like really be aware of what's going on and don't let it snowball out of control. 743 00:35:04,320 --> 00:35:08,440 Our snowballs what you're throwing for Christmas bowling. 744 00:35:08,440 --> 00:35:12,920 But yeah, I mean just plan it out. 745 00:35:12,920 --> 00:35:17,720 Make sure you are very aware of where you're going, what you're doing, how active you can 746 00:35:17,720 --> 00:35:22,920 be when you can't be and control and portion. 747 00:35:22,920 --> 00:35:24,000 It's such simple. 748 00:35:24,000 --> 00:35:25,000 Simple. 749 00:35:25,000 --> 00:35:26,880 It's all very simple. 750 00:35:26,880 --> 00:35:31,240 Simple things that we all know individually and we know in the moment when we're like, 751 00:35:31,240 --> 00:35:32,240 oh, I should have done this. 752 00:35:32,240 --> 00:35:33,720 Like it's always don't let it be a shoulda. 753 00:35:33,720 --> 00:35:34,720 Yeah. 754 00:35:34,720 --> 00:35:35,720 I
