Welcome to Fit To Be Real. And a little extra.
Do you remember how to do this? Next time, give
me a heads up that we started because I was reading
something. I thought you were paying attention.
I was literally reading something with my head
down. Look how small her head looks. If you're
watching us on YouTube and if you're not, check
it out. Look how tiny her head is. Listen, my
hair is wet. I slicked it back and Victoria's
looks like Normal. Normal, but it's like very
large. So it's like big and fluffy. And mine
is slicked back. So yes, I look like the little
guy from Beetlejuice with the small head. Oh,
my gosh. Yeah. I was thinking the little shrunken
head in Harry Potter hanging on the bus. Oh,
that too. Yeah, but I think they're very similar.
Yeah, at least you have a body with the Beetlejuice
one. I'm Victoria. Hey guys, I'm Carly. And it's
been a minute. Yes. It's only been a week. We
are right. Right. Right. But it'll be two weeks
by the time you guys hear this. We preemptively
recorded those Scotland ones. So so really quickly,
truly very quickly. How was it? Oh, you can't
I can't talk about that really quickly. So we
need it. We need forward Four word analysis.
Scotland was a waste of two words, but that's
fine. Amazing. And I'm moving there. Basic. That
was so basic. Bye. And not four words. Yes, it
was amazing. I advise everybody to go to Scotland.
You know, when you go somewhere new, you always
want everybody else to go. with you the next
time. Like you went to Puerto Rico and you're
like, okay guys, family trip to Puerto Rico.
I was like, everyone needs to go to Puerto Rico.
So we went to Scotland and I was like, okay guys,
next year we're going. All of us, you have to
experience what I experienced. Yeah. I think
you said some things that I was like, that tracks.
Like that's what I would think of Scotland where
it was very safe. safe and everybody was friendly
and there were people from lots of countries.
You were there. She was there for a festival.
But it also was a it's a major city. So I mean,
it was very Indian, French, British, Asian. Like
it was a major city. So. I wasn't in the highlands
of Scotland where it was purely Scottish people.
We sometimes had to look for the Scottish accents
because the city is so big and we were there
for a festival. You find the people I can't understand.
They're from here. They're like, we're from Connecticut.
I was like, damn it. I came all the way over
here to meet some people from Connecticut. Where
are you from? What accent was that? But yeah,
I mean, there are 3 ,000 shows in the Edinburgh
Theatre Festival. So you can imagine how many
people it's their biggest moneymaker of the year.
That's how Edinburgh makes all their money is
from this festival and from the tourism from
this festival. That's how they make it through
the rest of the year. I know. So when people
leave on Monday, the airports are Wild. We didn't
leave until four days after the festival was
over. So we didn't get that. But everyone was
preparing for like the mass exodus from Edinburgh.
Because 20 ,000 people were just about to leave
all at once. Edinburgh or Edinburgh? We're not
sure. Why do I think it's the opposite of what
it is? I went there and I'm not sure. Well, that's
a problem. That feels worse than my confusion.
I think it's Edinburgh. That's how it's spelled.
The Edinburgh Theatre Festival. But it was the
Edinburgh. I feel like it's David Attenborough.
Ooh. Is it that? And we're just pretending. Ooh.
You might be onto something. I think we want
it to be Edinburgh because of David Attenborough.
Ooh. Yeah. Oh, David. Yeah. But I think it's
Edinburgh. It is. I mean, I think you're right.
Everything I bought says GH. But that doesn't
really matter. It just says G -H. No, you just
got to sure this is G -H. The end of the word
says G -H. Wait, so I will say the quiz you gave
me before I left. Yeah. It was helpful. Which
one? Just like the Highland cows I noticed. And
I was like, oh, that's a Highland cow. And like
the haggis and like the fish. I saw those words.
But Carly thought that was New Year's Eve, we
remember. So it was fish night. Yeah. Remember?
Do you remember? But I was going through and
I was like, oh my gosh, I recognize that. I recognize
that. It was a lot. Yeah, it was a lot. I'd have
to listen back. But we got some good feedback.
And it was just. We did? Yeah. And the feedback
was thanks for the hilarity. So. Well, I learned
a lot. My kids don't know how lucky they are
to be alive. No, they don't. And they really
don't. They're like, oh, we're going to go to
Scotland again next year. I'm like, oh, are you?
They're like, everyone should go. It's like,
oh, my house in Scotland. Oh, yeah. Your house
in Scotland. Your condo. Your condo. Oh, my God.
Where are we stayed? I mean, I don't know how
lucky I am. I walk in, I'm like, oh, yeah, this
is my these are my digs. Like and I told Victoria,
I said. Growing up, not only did I walk three
miles in the blizzard to get to school with no
shoes, but when we went on a vacation, our mom
had to do a two -hour lecture for a timeshare
so we could get on a bus and drive two hours
to Disney World. And then we were never going
to buy the timeshare, but in order to get the
cheaper hotel, we had to sit through. And my
kids are like, oh, where's the restaurant? But
you did that. Hold. Hold, please. Who has control
of this narrative? We did, though. I remember
those timeshare conversations. Yeah. And we're
sleeping seven to a bed going on a trip. I don't
know. I don't know where the other kids came
from, because there was only three of us. We
were a cultured group. We always accepted everybody.
but like staying in one room and they walk in,
they're like, which one's my room? I'm like,
well. We're gonna sleep in yours anyway, but
which one can I put my stuffies in? No, there
were three bedrooms, so everybody got there.
Everyone slept with their own adult. That's annoying.
I'm so mad. Everyone slept with their own adult?
Yeah, like Louis slept with mom, Dean slept with
Andrew, and Melody slept with me in our own rooms.
Better than what happens here in Springfield.
Yeah, that's true. We all sleep in one room here.
We're working on it. We're working on it. Prove
it. Okay. Anyway, it was amazing. Everyone should
go to Scotland. So she's back. CFID is still
kicking. Well, yeah, I checked on it every day
and it just proved that no one missed me or needed
me. No, please don't argue with me. No, no, stop.
I don't want to get into a fight. No, please.
But here's the... The things that I would text
you for, she never responded to. So I was like,
oh my God, I need this answered now. Like what?
Things about the videos, things about the party
that I had to set up, things about, but like
you would respond eventually. I was on a five
hour time difference. I don't care. So you're
saying you weren't needed. You were needed on
my time. I would try to get you if you were texting
me about things, I'm like, okay, let me ask you
some questions. And then she would ghost me.
Ghost you? I did text Julia Barbier a couple
times because she did the party that we had.
And I'd be like, you good? And she's like, yeah,
what's up? And I'm like, you good? She's like,
yeah, I'm just like going to Wawa. I was like,
for the party, Jewel. And she's like, oh, oh,
I mean, yeah, good. I'm like, I don't care how
you are right now in this moment. No one needs
you to check in. That's the lesson learned. She's
like, do you think I'm not good? I'm like, No,
I think you're fine. But are you ready? Micromanaging
at its farthest. Texted Finio. Oh, Finio, Julia
and Stacey and I had a good laugh in your expense.
Why? Because I ended up texting them when we
switched classes and I said, you good? And they
were like, no, it's on fire. And I texted them.
And they were like, yep. We knew. We knew you
were going to text them. So when I texted them,
we just had a good laugh about it. I was like,
I don't need to, because she will. And also,
you're adults. So if something's wrong, you'll
reach out. I did not text Justin, because I just
didn't care. Justin didn't show up until the
minute before class, so you should have. I should
have. He's the one I probably should have been
on top of the most. Gave me a heart attack. I
was like, who's teaching? Because I'm not. I'm
about to leave. You're like, I'm already teaching
22 classes this week. I'm not taking yours, too.
But in any case, she's back. She's here. And
we've gotten off topic. Well, sort of. It's sort
of on topic. All right. Well, tell us. Tell the
people. Well, I don't really know a good segue,
because you know I'm not a good segueist. That
was the segue. So all you had to do was tell
the people. We are talking about our September.
and how September is the new January, or that's
what we want it. That's how we want to retrain
our minds to think. September is the beginning
of the year, whether or not you have kids or
not. Yeah, we've talked about this. The school
year. I know, but I want to retrain our brains
to think of it as the new January. This is the
time where you make the new goals, the new routines,
how to get yourself back in September if you've
fallen off all summer. and that it's okay to
start new in September. So like setting intentions
or reassessing the ones that you did in January?
Yeah, or just even if you didn't have any in
the summer and you just said, I'm just not gonna
do anything this summer. Survival, your goal
is survival. Like basically how to get structure
back and get back on the horse or the highland
cow. You would get kicked off a highland cow
trying to get back on that gal. They don't want
you In September to start off on the right foot
so that you aren't resetting in January again
Yeah, I said it But I haven't been in school
in how long but like September is the start of
the year like I I know school starting for people
and obviously that's not affecting me and Our
jobs aren't affected by summer versus winter
versus whatever But there's something about that
September switch over that you're either ready
for or you're dreading. So we did an episode
on like, how do you not dread the seasonal change?
So this one's more about preparing yourself or
setting yourself up. We're gonna give you some
tips on how to restart or start your September
on the right foot, just in general. Screw the
left. Yeah, we hate the left. Sorry lefties.
was gonna say and stacey actually stacey you're
popular today sang me a song yesterday i'm sorry
what you're popular every day stacey but um i
told her yesterday just i want to skip september
and go to october because i hate september i'm
sorry can you talk about the song she sang you
that's that's really what we're concerned about
she said wake me up when september ends and i
was like yes No. Wake me up when September ends.
I hate September. And if you're like me and you
want to be woken up at the end of September so
you can just be awake for the fall things and
into the holiday things, raise your hand. No.
OK. I've been decorated for over a week for Halloween.
No, but I like that stuff. It's the emails and
the school events and the back to school nights
and the it's chaos. And then October slows down.
Don't have children. I know. Because I don't
get those emails. I'm sorry teachers. I also
apologize to the teachers yesterday. It's not
that I don't like your emails. It's that now
I have three with three different teachers and
three different back to school supplies and three
like it's just - You had three kids. I know,
I know, I know. Deal with it. I just hate it.
Not the kids. I hate the September. Joseph, help
us. You know I don't read my emails too. So there's
50 ,000 teacher emails. You're not special. No
one cares. Read your goddamn emails. They spend
time on it. You know how you spend time on your
monthly slash, doesn't happen every month, email
newsletter? Oh, it's every six, but yes. Yeah,
no one reads it. Okay. What? It takes me so long
to do that. Hold on. Wait for the crickets. It
takes me so long to do that. But I also understand
if you don't want to read it, but I make it colorful.
Yeah. Teachers are saying the same thing. But
I also don't like sending them. I don't like
it Because I know you don't like it either. So
I know teachers don't like sending it because
they know we don't like it But anyway, it's crazy
busy and I want what if we didn't do things we
didn't want to do? Ever so just don't send the
email. You don't like to do it. Don't do it.
No, I don't like to do it because I know that
You guys don't like to read them So if they don't
like to read them, don't do it. So let's just
cut that out of the busyness in your life. No
one reads it, you don't like to write it. Shazam,
poof, gone. Have you ever seen Shazam? Yeah.
Yeah, it's disappeared. Shazam? Shazam the movie.
You cannot find Shazam the movie anywhere. It
is like it never happened and I know I watched
it. Oh, no, we watched it. What's his face, isn't
it? Sinbad. Sinbad. Do you know there's a conspiracy
on that movie? Yeah. Because you cannot find
it anywhere. But we talked about this, and then
I found it. Oh, you did? Yeah, we talked about
it. That was a couple years ago. All right. OK.
Yeah. Bring it up. Bring it back. Bring it back.
Bring it all back to you. Five reasons why you
need a health reset or how to do a health reset
in September. Are we ready? We sure are Carly.
Okay, we're ready. Boop. Routines are back. I'm
gonna need you to do a boop before every number.
Just putting that out there. Boop. Number one,
routines are back. And if you are like me, structure
is super important. I know I don't seem like
I like structure. I love structure and routine
so much. And when I go off of it, that's when
I start to... to lose it a little bit. So the
more you structure your days, the more you make
yourself go back to school. Make yourself a calendar.
Write it down or don't. If you're like me, put
it in your head. That always works, too. No,
it doesn't. No, they're science based. It does
not work. Well, in September, the kids go back
to school or if you're at a job, your work sort
of normalizes again. So you're able to go back.
to a schedule and a routine that you are comfortable
with. I enjoy that. I love structure. The free
for all of summer while it's nice in the beginning.
Well, it's just a mindset. Yeah. For most, it's
just a mindset. We're like a Friday off. Yeah.
But other than kids being a part of the mix,
it's really just. Oh, it's summer. Everyone's
more relaxed and chill. So now we get into that
like shoulders or inching up towards the ears
because it's fall. But if you get into the routine,
then maybe you don't get into that like stressed
out place. Yeah, I agree. And when your calendar
is more steady, your workouts are more steady,
your eating is more steady, everything sort of
like falls back into place. But if you continue
living in the... chaos or relaxness of summer
which can happen then all of a sudden it's the
Thanksgiving and then all of a sudden it's Christmas
and then you say I'll just start in January again.
So she's talking about mine which is number two.
Do the boop. Holidays. They're coming fast is
basically what number two is. So September is
the only month in this whirlwind that doesn't
have a holiday. Yeah we had Labor Day weekend
but that's the end of summer. So now that you're
in September, this is the time you get to kind
of, it gets chaotic. So if you can get organized
before the chaos comes of Christmas, of, well,
let me do them in order, of Halloween, of Thanksgiving,
of Christmas, then it's not gonna be a shit show.
Right? Explicit. Right? So if you look at September
as like, oh, this is a whole month, not like
be ready by September 1st, but I get a whole
month to figure out how I want October to January
to go. And then you can reassess January for
the next four to six months. You know what I
mean? You know that once you get the ball rolling,
I said this to somebody yesterday, once you get
the ball rolling, it's so much easier. But if
you keep procrastinating on getting that ball
rolling, it's so much harder to start. So if
you can start in September, then by the holidays,
by Halloween, you're in your routine. You're
ready to go. Yeah, you might have an off day
here or there, but the ball is rolling and you
feel, I'm going to get into my next one, more
motivated. You have the energy because right
now I feel like everybody's energy is low. Everyone's
tired. The summer was crazy. I'm tired. Number
three. We're all tired. I feel like it's getting
longer. Energy is low. So going back to that
structure, structure brings brings it back. And
this is something that I want everybody to hear
three times. I'm going to say it three times.
Great. Can't wait. Winging it is not never a
good thing. Winging it. is not never a good thing.
Why? Because I messed up the first time and then
I said I was going to say it three times. So
I all... You're a person of consistency. I love
structure. You got third one's a charm. Here
we go. Winging is never a good thing. Wait, it
got worse. I don't think you did the nah part
the first time. A lot of people can run on coffee
and a prayer. I like to think I'm one of them.
You're not one of them. I like to think I'm one
of them. And you don't hide it well. You start
slicking your hair back and wear lots of gold
to make it look like you're feeling good about
yourself. But you got lots of makeup on under
the eye bags. We get it. Living on coffee and
a prayer. Living on coffee and a prayer. I'm
sorry, what? Winging it is never a good thing.
Meaning in what? But regardless. Oh, I can't
work out today. I'll just do it tomorrow. But
then tomorrow comes and something comes up. Like
we've said a million times, make your workouts
like an appointment with yourself. Motivation
is so unreliable. You're not going to have it
every day. You shouldn't. Like normally, as humans,
you shouldn't. We do not have it every day. I
also said this to somebody else. I understand
how hard it is for you to get here because if
this wasn't our job. At Seafit. At Seafit. Just
in life. to get here. Wherever here is for you,
wherever you are, we know how hard it was. And
if this wasn't our job, I can't promise you that
I would be here as often as you guys are. So
I know how hard it is to do that. So if you can
use the buddy system, any way that works for
you to motivate yourself. to do what you have
to do to get better sleep, to have the nutrition
that you sort of slacked off in the summer. Meal
prep. Not just your workouts, but like all around
to have better energy. That's the only way you're
going to make it to January. Yeah. And think
about if you didn't do that in September, the
energy, you know everybody's run down come January,
come Christmas. We talk about it all the time.
Not even January, it's December, which... Kind
of segues perfectly into the next one. So give
us a boot. Boop. Ooh. Little pity. Little pity.
I don't like the title of it, but I also kind
of like the title of it. Your kids and community
are watching you. Wait, I like this one, though.
I like this one, too, because your kids are watching
you. And I have a story for you. Oh, boy. So
start the good habits. so that they understand
and it's not a struggle for them when they get
older or when they're, you know, what kid? I
mean, there are a lot. I take that back. Most
children don't like school and don't like the
routine and the hard work and all the, you know,
the amount of homework is ridiculous these days.
So if you can stay organized and on top of the
things that your priorities are for you, i .e.
eating well, i .e. working out, being healthy,
prioritizing your self -care. If you're doing
it in front of your children, you're setting
them up for their teens, 20s, 30s to also know
how to do that. Same thing for your community.
Who knows, not what eyes are watching you, but
there are people that look up to you. Whoever
you are, whatever stance you are in your community,
if you're in a community setting and a community
-based people, they're watching you in a good
way too, in a good way. So you got to kind of
stand your ground for yourself so that other
people can be like, you know what, me too. Do
you ever see those reels that are like, I'm not
doing it for me, I'm doing it for her. And it's
like this little girl just like looking at her
mom working out. And while you should always
do it for yourself. I think it's important because
kids, even little boys too, it just happens to
always be like some little daughter. Because
women don't ever take time for themselves. Right.
I think that's usually why it's like that. Right.
I think it's so important because they watch
what you do at all times. They talk how you talk.
They eat what you eat. Boo. But that's the whole
point, right? Oh my God, I'm going to say it
again. I said this to somebody else. I know how
hard it is. Stop giving people advice. First
of all, people stop going to her. Her hair is
slicked back. She's wearing the gold jewelry.
She's tired. Oh my God. I actually don't talk
to people that often. I really don't. So this
is why I remember so well what I say, because
I only talk to one person every couple of days.
But I said, when you are down, the house is down.
Like, when you're not at 100%, your house feels
that. Now, that's anything. Like, your partner
feels that. Like, your kids feel that. Your pets
feel that. If you're not in a good head space,
if you don't feel good about yourself, the people
around you can feel that. And that's why I think
it's so important. Yes, the kids are watching.
Yes, people are watching. Do it for yourself.
But also, like, I know how important it is for
me to want to create good habits with my kids.
Fail all the time. I mean we got gelato like
every day in Scotland So that that's why I know
how important it is to get vacation. That's vacation
No, no to get back on track. Yes, we vacated
for three and a half months this summer I feel
like oh no, they've been having dessert every
day since they were born And I realized after
going to Scotland we ate so well and I told Victoria
the good food That we ate and not overate We
never overate. We never were stuffed. Did they
like fill plates or was there? No. And they had
kid half portions. So like Melody would order
the rigatoni, but the kids portion, which was
a half portion. Of the main meal. Of the main
meal. That was real food, like real pasta. Like
everything was made with real ingredients. Nothing
was processed. They didn't have candy granola
bars for a snack. Like the stuff. The crap that
I give them at home, they didn't have that. We
walked 20 miles a day and they ate real good
food. And I want to keep that going. I know it's
expensive to eat well. It's good that we went
to the diner last night. The kids got diner spaghetti.
Gross spaghetti and meatball. And then I took
him to Vera's. But go Vera's. Yeah, go viewers,
but that was the end of it like that was our
last hurrah and now I want to go back to like
the good Whole foods meals Less snacking and
that kind of well you have to do we talked about
this a couple episodes ago So we're gonna say
it until Carly implements it. Okay, but like
when they come home from school Yeah, you go
pick them up pick them up and they just have
a veggie and fruit tray Yeah, I took a couple
pictures on Instagram and then I want yeah done
to make you want something Yeah. And then that
will do it. Well, I noticed that when we were
there, they were like, Mom, can I have some grapes?
Mom, do we have any mango? And I was like, why
are they asking for fruit? Because it was like,
you're like, we're in Scotland, not Tropical
Island. Stop asking for mangoes. But they weren't
like, Mom, can I have a chocolate chip cookie?
I don't know. It was something. And maybe it's
because we didn't have any chocolate chip cookies
and we only had fruit in the house. That could
have been a reason, but that's another reason.
If you don't have it, they can't ask for it.
Yeah. They don't. You don't have it. And you.
I just realized that. But anyway, my short story
was the kids are watching. It's a long story.
OK. No, no, no. I didn't even get to the story
yet. Oh, no. Melody came to a realization yesterday
because she's been doing quadrobics. I told you
this last night. I need to watch it. OK. I found
her in the basement yesterday doing air squats.
And I was like, what are you doing to the computer?
She was watching a tutorial. It's cat aerobics.
So it's like a lot of burpees and like squats.
Oh, quad. Things to do with all fours. On all
fours. So her hands and she's in a bear plank
doing like hops front and back. And like think
of like how a cat acts. And she's like, I'm doing
quad aerobics and it's really hard. And she said,
you know what's really cool? I'm interested in
cats and I love cats and I'm working out and
I'm having fun." And I was like, yes, Melody.
Why are you whispering? She's not here. I know.
Because I don't want her to hear me. She's not
here. But I said, yes, Melody, working out. And
Victoria literally said to her, yeah, that's
what CFIT is. We work out and we have fun at
the same time. And it clicked for her. She was
like, I can... I can like exercise and have fun
at the same time. Yeah. So I think that's good.
Actually, you know, the 15 years we've been doing
it didn't click for her, but she found a tutorial
about cats working out and it clicked. So she's
only 11. Whatever works. So the first six years
don't really count anyway. She started to come
to after that. But if you can get your kids interested
in something and not disguise it, but sort of
just be like, look, working out can be fun. That's
the whole point. Yeah, I think that's the point
of like intramural sports for kids. Yeah. But
you also have to, like you can't go to the soccer
field on Saturdays and be there all day long
and then go give them all the junk food. No.
Like it's counterbalanced. So if you're healthy,
they'll want to be healthy is basically the long
and short of Carly's long winded monologue. And
yes, I don't talk to a lot of people. So you,
you do though. Apparently apparently since you've
been home, you've picked up talking. Picked up
talking. Yeah, I picked this up in Scotland.
So, yeah, if you have a household of people or
a community, they're watching. So make those
good decisions, right? For yourself. Then it
trickles. There's that ripple effect. Five. Boop.
Last one. I thought you were going to go level
up. Level up. Level. Oh, no. We have to go. Five,
four, three, two, one. Let's go. Level up. Level
up. Is that what happens in your head when you're
going to do something? Yes. Okay. Notice when
I do that dance the next time. I can't watch
you do it. Okay, I know. There's a lot of yummy
in your tummy. I didn't make it up. Sierra did.
Anyway, five, boop. January is too late. Sorry,
guys. You've missed the boat. Don't even start
in January. Yikes. You've lost it. You should
just wait till next September. Boo, I don't like
that. I don't like this one. January's too late.
That doesn't mean don't restart in January, but
you know in December you are exhausted. So the
thought of restarting in January, think about
all the money that you might have lost if you
started and stopped five times between September
and January. Think of all the progress you could
have made between September if you had done half
of nothing. You know what I mean? No. Say all
this differently and then better. Think of all
the time you missed of working on yourself by
the time we hit January. No. Got it. So if you're
in January and you're like, oh my gosh, I have
to start now. Yes. Had I started in September.
Even a little bit. On projects. Yeah. Yeah. Like
once a week. Yeah. every week until January.
You're once a week, every week until January
ahead of where you were if you only started in
January. And think about it this way. If you
are starting day one, September 1st, was yesterday.
So September 2nd, day two, 90 minutes a week.
Start out with that. If you're a day one -er
or you're getting back into it, 90 minutes a
week. That's three 30 -minute workouts. So you're
talking about working out alone. Just working
out. Just working out alone. Try 90 minutes.
That doesn't include like taking a walk. You
should be doing that anyway or trying doing that
anyway. That's three 30 minute workouts. Start
out with that and see how you progress from that.
If you can do three 30 minutes, then up it from
there. Now that's just workout in general. I
would venture to say you can use that for anything
though. Like if there's a project that you were
like, God, I want it to be done by now. 90 minutes
a week of working on whatever that project is
for yourself or that self -care thing is for
yourself. That's not a lot of time out of the
week. Journaling. 90 minutes. Don't talk like
that. You don't even believe in that. Don't even
say it. That's annoying. Journaling. I'm doing
quote fingers. I'm going to punch you. Meditating.
In your gold earrings and your gold chain. You
gave me these. You gave me both of these. They
weren't meant to be distraction. You gave me
these for my birthday last year. From an exhausted
face. Oh my God. I hate you. Okay. So also, add
one recovery day. I'm gonna try this for real.
For reals, guys. This is annoying. For reals.
I'm gonna try one recovery day. When's that?
Sundays. Every other Sunday. Two recovery days
a month. I miss when you weren't in the country.
You should go back. Okay, hydrate and protein.
A little bit. 90 minutes a week. No, but you
know what? I was horrendous in Scotland and I
felt it. When you are not hydrated, you have
low energy. Yeah, when you're walking everywhere
though, the best thing you can do is go to the
bathroom every five seconds. Well, that happens
anyway, but... Oh, you got a medical problem?
Should we talk about it? No bladder control.
Oh, that's a children problem. Got it. And I
reminded them every 20 minutes in Scotland when
I had to go to the bathroom, I had to go find
one. I was like, this is because of you guys.
Oh, good. Good. So your kids are watching because
they're going to be remembering that. That's
awesome. Cool. I can't put it on the list of
things as to why they're going to therapy. All
right. Oh, the list is like Schindler's list.
No. I've never seen the movie, but it's the only
list I know. I've never seen the movie. I've
never seen anyone immediately regret words coming
out of their mouth. Because I feel like that's
not appropriate thing to say. Can we cancel her?
Then we'll get a break. Can she be canceled,
please? I met Santa's list and Schindler's list
came out. of very different lists. Skip, edit,
cut. We're going to need you for to watch the
Schindler's List now. No, because then I will
die of stop saying words, stop saying words.
Oh, boy. Hydrate and protein. Drink your water.
And if you haven't put any thought or If you
haven't put any thought in your words. If you
haven't put any thought into how much protein
you should be eating or how much you're eating
now, overeating, under eating, get to know that
for yourself. I just realized and found out about
it. Did you? Because we've done a few episodes
on it. I know. And I've always under ate my protein.
Yeah, I know. Because we've always talked about
it. You need like 86 to 130. I know. I know that
now. You didn't know that then when we talked
about it? I didn't put too much thought into
it. We know. I'm going to put lots of thought
into everything that I say from September on.
So maybe the tighter your hair, the more your
brain is going to work. Is that how it's going
to work? Hydrate and protein. Check out your
protein. You're probably under eating and you're
probably overeating on the wrong things. So check
it out for yourself. Cause we can't do it for
you. Also, lastly, sleep, better sleep. We think
you need it. I don't know about you folks, but
I think that's where you should start. Seven
plus hours a day. I'm just ignoring that she
is here right now. 90 minutes a week. 90 minutes
a week. That's all you need. Three 30 minutes
at a time. Three 30 minute naps. At a time. And
it's all you need. Run on coffee and a prayer.
Yeah, screw everything else you said. But seriously,
sleep. It is hard to prioritize in this month
when you feel, you know, out of control. How
am I doing? Yeah, we're looking right at you.
Like think about it. So if you if one step at
a time, your kids go back to school if they haven't
already. One step at a time, there's no need
to rush. It's like da -da -da -da, we're falling
in love. I don't know this song. I've never heard
that song before. It's called One Step at a Time.
Whitney? No. Go ahead, continue. Oh, that's One
Moment in Time, never mind. I'm sorry, I lost
my train of thought before the musical interlude.
Oh, so if your kids already went to school or
they're just starting school, Carly start tomorrow?
Yeah. Okay, which is September 3rd, so we're
a week behind when this airs. Take that time
that they're at school. Now I know you have jobs.
and ours is a little different. So you particularly,
if you have a job like Carly, you have some hours
while they're at school to not have any other
human to worry about, right? So take that time
one day for the first seven days to tackle or
think about or organize for yourself one piece
of everything we said. So let's say tomorrow
is scheduling all your workouts for September.
The day after is meal prepping. everything and
or organizing when you're going to meal prep
every month yeah every week then the next one
is organize your house because that's a big factor
organize start purging stuff so you can bring
all your decorations out and you won't feel cluttered
and then your mind won't feel cluttered right
um if you have the opportunity to take naps like
Carly does not anymore oh you've had it for the
first six years this past six years no one feels
bad for you uh I don't know, take a nap. I can't
do it. But if you could do that, and that's how
you can catch up on sleep, do it. If you have
a time for it, if you have a moment, and you
don't do a 95 at a cubicle, whatever, an office,
I don't know where people work. Yeah, I think
cubicles are a thing of the 90s, maybe. I don't
know. You guys could tell us that. I think offices
exist. Yeah, I think they exist. What, open concept,
though? Everyone's cool, like Facebook? Yeah.
Yeah, I don't think there's like, Like the office.
Oh, no, the office was open. No, the office had
cubicle. I can't remember. Either way, take a
day, work on one thing per day so that it's not
like, oh, September's here. I have so much to
organize. I'm overwhelmed. It's overwhelming.
Not going to do it. Now you're back to where
you started. Right. And that is, I think, the
whole point of the September is the new January,
where the September reset. If you don't do those
things first, like she just said, like write
them down or think about how you're going to
tackle it. You can't just tackle it because it
it's overwhelming. Like I have so much to do.
Oh my gosh, I have to look at my protein. I don't
know what I'm going to eat. When am I going to
work out? I don't know what to do to work out.
I don't know what I'm into. It's overwhelming.
And then, yeah, January will happen and you won't
have started. So I think that's really important.
If you're like me and all your kids are in school
for the first time, you might take a week to
cry about it. And that's OK, too. So I think
you're the minority. I think people would take
advantage of the hours that they have. You're
going to waste them. I will waste them. I'll
probably go walk around Target, spend a lot of
money, and get divorced. Because that's the next
step. The next step would be divorce. And cry
until, give me a week, and then I'll be all right.
Andrew's already crying. He is. Actually, remember
when you said, remember when you said the people
in your house can feel if you're, so make sure.
Andrew was feeling sick yesterday, and she was
like, ah. what no you're not so either let them
or oh my god well i mean i have put down just
been home by myself with the kids and yesterday
was our get things done day and he didn't feel
good and i was like are you kidding me i just
spent all summer alone and now i need your help
and you don't feel good but were you alone Were
you? You little bitch. You know what I mean.
I'll murder you. You heard it here first, folks.
It is that time of season. Every season is that
time of season. We're done. That's it. By the
end, by the time we listen to this, it's the
end of September. So use September to get through
all of your holidays because you know. It's about
to rev up and chaos is just, schedules, everything
is gonna amplify. But it's also exciting. It's
fine. Yes, but keep it exciting. Don't keep it
overwhelming. So to keep it exciting, get on
top of it now. Yeah, get on top of it now. Get
up off of that thing. And what is it? And dance
so you feel better. There's no R in better. There's
no R in better. It's better. It's better. Get
up off of that thing. I can't believe it's not
butter. Dance till you feel better. Try to release
some pressure. We have to go. Yeah, we gotta
go. I have to go to Ikea. Wake me up when September
ends, please. No, no, no, no. Do everything we
said for September. I'll see you in October.
