play00:01

hello oh how I have missed you I was

play00:04

inspired to do a video today we'll see

play00:07

how long this

play00:08

lasts okay anyways what did I start with

play00:12

today I started with what I always start

play00:14

with which is my

play00:17

medications you may or may not know that

play00:19

I had cancer a couple years ago so I'm

play00:22

on some medications because of that and

play00:25

they also cause nausea so I have to have

play00:28

something kind of subst

play00:31

stantial in the morning to help me not

play00:33

be nauseous so I'm just going to share

play00:35

all the things with you today uh kind of

play00:38

bring you into my world here so here's

play00:41

my pills every morning I come in and I

play00:45

grab the pills that I need which is this

play00:47

is actually a Statin I had really high

play00:49

cholesterol last year and I'm working on

play00:51

it I don't think it's high anymore I

play00:54

know that my triglycerides are back to

play00:55

normal or no my cholesterol is back to

play00:57

normal my triglycerides needed a little

play00:59

bit of work yet so but I get really bad

play01:02

headaches with my Statin so I'm just

play01:04

taking a half a one for now and I hope

play01:05

to be off of that very soon I also take

play01:09

this is tamoxifen which is my sort of

play01:11

anti-estrogen pill for the cancer stuff

play01:14

and because I'm on tamoxifen and also

play01:16

another um monthly injection called

play01:20

Lupron which does the same as tamoxifen

play01:22

but more intense it has created lots of

play01:24

menopause symptoms right so I'm in

play01:26

menopause and I was depressed because of

play01:29

the injections so I'm also on an

play01:33

anti-depressant which has I really think

play01:36

it saved my life I have to say you know

play01:39

this if you know have been following me

play01:40

for any period of time I am not a

play01:41

medicine taker but with the cancer

play01:43

Journey everything kind of changed and I

play01:45

had to obviously do some new things that

play01:48

I never thought I would before and so

play01:51

yeah so I am very grateful for the

play01:53

medication and it also reduces hot

play01:55

flashes which is crazy and one of the

play01:58

one of the main reasons I wanted to take

play01:59

it is as well because I was having like

play02:00

20 25 hot flashes a day and it was just

play02:03

really really affecting my life as well

play02:05

as I was having panic attacks and things

play02:07

like that so this one is called

play02:08

venlafaxine also known as Axor and it's

play02:11

really been a lifesaver for me I hope to

play02:14

get off at least the effector and the

play02:17

Statin um this year we'll see how this

play02:20

goes uh but I do plan to stay on the

play02:22

tamoxifen and the Lupron I plan to stay

play02:25

on the Lupron which is the very intense

play02:26

one for another 3 years and so so that's

play02:31

why I have to take this medication

play02:32

person thing in the morning and it's

play02:34

also why I've been having a little

play02:35

trouble sticking to things and losing

play02:39

the weight that I want to lose and all

play02:40

that so just want to kind of share with

play02:42

you what's going on just so you know cuz

play02:44

I really miss honestly I really miss

play02:46

making YouTube videos and having

play02:47

connection with you guys so that's what

play02:49

we're going to do so the first thing I

play02:51

did this morning was I took my pills

play02:52

with some water and then what I always

play02:54

do which I didn't used to do this before

play02:56

but because of the pills now I have to I

play02:59

have a latte first thing in the morning

play03:01

so what I do it's a matcha latte what I

play03:04

do is I start my hot water thing and

play03:07

then up here I grab my um date syrup my

play03:12

cinnamon and then I go in the fridge and

play03:15

I grab my matcha tea which is my

play03:17

favorite you guys know I've been

play03:19

drinking this for years this is actually

play03:21

um come on Focus this is my girlfriend

play03:24

isumi she's like the sweetest little

play03:25

thing on the planet and she's from Japan

play03:28

and this matcha tea actually comes from

play03:30

her family's farm so feel free to order

play03:32

the best matcha tea on the planet it's

play03:33

on my website if you want and I love

play03:35

this bottle because you can just shake

play03:38

out a little bit um because usually

play03:41

matcha is really messy and this way is

play03:43

really easy to just shake it out into

play03:44

your cup so I do probably half a

play03:47

tablespoon or a tablespoon of date syrup

play03:50

and then I do some hot water some matcha

play03:53

and some cold water cuz you don't want

play03:54

to boil matcha you don't want to put it

play03:56

in boiling water it will just cook it

play03:59

which um messes up some of the natural

play04:00

antioxidants and then I do a Sprinkle of

play04:02

cinnamon I mix it into my cup the cup

play04:06

that I'm using

play04:08

lately has been this one um so I drink

play04:11

about this much which is I don't know

play04:14

maybe 16 oz something like that I got

play04:16

this in Michigan when we went on

play04:17

vacation last year and then I use also

play04:20

this guy which is the um it's a frother

play04:24

but it mix it up really well mixes up

play04:26

the matcha really well so I mix that up

play04:28

and make it nice and warm and then

play04:30

that's the first thing that I consume in

play04:32

the morning and if you guys have been

play04:33

watching me for a while you know I've

play04:34

been doing that for a long time a couple

play04:35

years 2 3 years something like that and

play04:38

the thing I love about matcha is that it

play04:39

is the actual Leaf it's the actual Tea

play04:43

Leaf just ground up so it's a whole food

play04:45

you're getting some really good greens

play04:47

first thing in the morning and if you

play04:48

travel it's nice to take with you too

play04:50

because and you can have greens with you

play04:52

wherever you go it does have caffeine

play04:54

though so for those of us who are

play04:55

sensitive to caffeine myself included

play04:58

you don't want to have too much of it I

play04:59

have have about 1/4 teaspoon per cup um

play05:04

sometimes I get up to a half a teaspoon

play05:06

but it does I can really feel it and

play05:08

it's a really nice kind of energy okay I

play05:10

try to have at least half of

play05:12

that right away because I need to get

play05:14

some protein in my belly then I do my

play05:17

workout these days I have been um this

play05:20

is our crazy room this is the room that

play05:23

kind of contains all the kids stuff it's

play05:25

our art area all the kids toys and

play05:28

crafts and things like that we to keep

play05:30

play05:34

we've got our treadmill and all my

play05:36

weights and stuff and then we have my

play05:38

art area this is my space that we've

play05:42

created in the last year I it's this is

play05:45

my happy place I love it so much I've

play05:48

been working on um some realistic

play05:50

watercolor as well as some um well I'm

play05:53

working on this Leaf right now and then

play05:55

this kind of nighttime scene which I

play05:57

don't want to concentrate on it too much

play05:59

cuz looks horrible I got to keep

play06:00

practicing the more flowy watercolor but

play06:03

I've been enjoying you know very

play06:05

realistic watercolor lately so that's

play06:08

what I've been doing um I also have been

play06:10

practicing the Japanese art of kintsugi

play06:13

and I'm horrible at it but I'm trying to

play06:15

repair this cup and I know I didn't do a

play06:17

very good job but bear with me

play06:19

um and if you are interested in kintsugi

play06:22

that's repairing Ceramics with gold

play06:25

which is phenomenal I'll talk about it

play06:27

more sometime anyway so I come in this

play06:29

room I do my exercise lately I've been

play06:32

kind of just doing whatever I'm inspired

play06:34

by I really want to do more weight

play06:35

training so that's what I've been

play06:36

getting into cuz I started to do Judo

play06:39

last year and I love it and I want to

play06:41

keep doing it but I'm not strong enough

play06:43

for it yet so I have to pause cuz I kept

play06:45

getting a little bit injured so I'm

play06:47

going to pause work on my strength

play06:48

training hopefully I can get back to

play06:50

Judo later this year in the meantime

play06:52

I've been doing just whatever kind of

play06:54

strikes my fancy that morning whether

play06:55

it's a long yoga session or a Tracy

play06:58

Anderson workout which which is one of

play06:59

my favorite things to do I use her

play07:02

apparatus called my mode which I just

play07:05

absolutely love so I've been doing that

play07:07

lately or else I'll just do a regular

play07:09

strength training like a dumbbell

play07:10

workout or a hit workout high-intensity

play07:13

interval training okay so the

play07:17

tea the tea latte matcha tea latte is

play07:21

for during my exercise time and then

play07:23

afterwards as well so I have some

play07:24

protein oh and I forgot to mention I

play07:26

always put soy milk in about a cup of

play07:28

soy milk and I use soy milk because it's

play07:31

got so much protein and I love I love

play07:33

soy milk it's so delicious and I think

play07:36

it's really good for the anti-cancer

play07:38

stuff so I'm actually going to link an

play07:41

article about soy down below if you want

play07:43

to hear more about that um so I try to

play07:46

make sure I have some soy every day

play07:47

whether it's edamami tofu soy milk

play07:50

whatever so I've had my so my matcha

play07:54

latte that'll last me till about 9:10

play07:57

10:30 then I move on to my my smoothie

play08:00

now I already had my smoothie so we're

play08:01

going to pretend that I didn't drink

play08:03

this yet here's the smoothie that I had

play08:06

which is my warm apple pie or warm apple

play08:09

cinnamon smoothie and I'll give you um

play08:12

I'm going to link that here I'll put it

play08:13

in the description or something so that

play08:14

you can get that too I've posted this

play08:16

before it's my favorite recipe for the

play08:19

winter I invented it because I wanted to

play08:22

continue to have smoothies get the

play08:24

benefits of Greens in the mornings um

play08:26

but I couldn't stand having cold drinks

play08:28

so I invented a warm smoothie which

play08:31

sounds really weird and many of you

play08:32

actually don't like it but it is it's

play08:36

one of my favorite things it I look

play08:38

forward to it every year I never want it

play08:40

during the summer but then when the

play08:41

winter comes I'm like yes here we go it

play08:43

is so comforting so delicious it's sweet

play08:46

but it's got tons of greens super good

play08:48

for you and it's a great way to get

play08:49

those greens in first thing in the

play08:50

morning so if I'm not doing that I'm

play08:51

doing oatmeal but I've been doing the

play08:53

warm apple smoothie lately and I make a

play08:55

lot of it like probably one and a half

play08:57

of these you know probably about 50 Oz

play09:01

yeah probably about 50 o because that's

play09:03

how much I need I can't drink it all at

play09:05

once I'll drink half of it and I'll wait

play09:07

an hour or so and I'll drink the other

play09:09

half but yeah it gives me some really

play09:11

good energy it's delicious and then you

play09:12

get your greens and then what I've been

play09:14

doing is typical nutritarian Behavior

play09:18

which is a big huge salad later on this

play09:21

year I haven't been doing super well

play09:24

with being a nutritarian but I've never

play09:26

not wanted to be a nutritarian so I I

play09:29

would call myself an aspiring

play09:31

nutritarian still I'm really really

play09:33

working on it right um I'm getting I'm

play09:35

still getting back to it after the twins

play09:37

cuz the twin pregnancy threw me off in

play09:39

so many different ways the strength the

play09:43

gestational diabetes all these different

play09:45

things and now I feel like I'm kind of

play09:47

getting back there okay I if you

play09:50

followed me back after the pregnancy I

play09:53

did not want salad in the beginning and

play09:55

now I'm back to trying to have a salad

play09:57

every day these massive when thing I

play09:59

realized too was my salads were not big

play10:01

enough I weren't I wasn't having big

play10:02

enough salads I kind of forgot how big

play10:04

they used to be but I'm back here's the

play10:06

salad that I have I actually avoided

play10:08

eating this for about 3 days because my

play10:10

mom was in town and I really should have

play10:12

eaten it but I just didn't and that's

play10:15

something I'm working on too but this is

play10:17

the salad that I had left over it's

play10:18

really yummy it's a red leaf lettuce

play10:21

Roma lettuce there's some seavoy cabbage

play10:25

as well as some other vegetables and

play10:27

things like that I'm going to do this

play10:28

with we have some tofu left over from my

play10:31

daughter's lunch yesterday as well as

play10:33

this tofu um so that's going to be my

play10:35

bean component cuz the beans that I had

play10:37

in there went bad so I can't have those

play10:40

and then the dressing I'm going to use

play10:41

oh there's apples in there too and a

play10:43

little bit of chopped up raw broccoli so

play10:45

that salad is huge and that's a very

play10:47

typical salad that I would eat once I

play10:49

dress it I can fit it if you can believe

play10:52

it or not into this 2q salad bowl and I

play10:54

forgot that I used to have really

play10:56

heaping salads and I also forgot that I

play10:58

never I didn't get stuffed from it like

play11:00

I got quite full but not like hurting

play11:03

and so I just forgot that that was like

play11:05

the technique I used to use I'm going

play11:07

back to that um and I'm what I realized

play11:10

right before my mom came in town was if

play11:12

I do this for about 3 days I'll tell you

play11:14

the rest but I do this for about 3 days

play11:15

total and then my Cravings are like

play11:17

almost gone so day one for me getting

play11:21

back to that pattern which is the The

play11:24

Latte The Latte the smoothie and then

play11:27

the salad and then what I do is I have

play11:30

after the salad I have a piece of fruit

play11:31

which um today will probably be an apple

play11:34

where we have some really nice pears

play11:35

here these are ready to be eaten a piece

play11:38

of fruit and then I also Juice So I have

play11:43

some already prepared cuz I was supposed

play11:45

to eat this a few days ago but I have

play11:46

some vegetables prepared to be Juiced

play11:49

and so the combination of the salad plus

play11:51

the fruit plus the juice around 2 3 4:00

play11:54

p.m. for me is like plenty of food stuff

play11:58

to the skills but also easy to lose

play12:01

weight that way and I kind of remember

play12:03

this whole equation for myself just

play12:05

recently so I feel very motivated to

play12:07

share it with you and um also just start

play12:10

the conversation again let's start

play12:11

talking about getting healthy um you

play12:14

know this isn't like a New Year's thing

play12:16

it's just this is where I am in my

play12:18

Evolution like this many years later and

play12:21

the cancer and all these things threw me

play12:22

off for so long and it's not that I

play12:25

haven't been doing many many narian

play12:27

things but I have haven't been wanting

play12:30

to be

play12:32

as I hate the word compliant and I don't

play12:34

like that word but do you get what I

play12:36

mean like as nutritarian as I used to be

play12:39

and I've been searching how was I

play12:41

nutritarian how did this happen and now

play12:43

how can I do this with a completely

play12:44

different life before when I started as

play12:47

a nutritarian I was just married didn't

play12:49

have any kids it didn't really have you

play12:51

know I was building my business but I

play12:53

didn't have a business quite yet and so

play12:57

now I'm kind of in this place of very

play12:59

established business three children post

play13:02

cancer you know husband uh amazing

play13:05

husband that hasn't changed but just a

play13:08

lot of different life changes I'm in

play13:09

menopause now lots of different hormonal

play13:11

issues and things like that so really

play13:13

there's been a lot of stuff happening

play13:15

and um it's been an evolution for me to

play13:17

get to where I am and I'm just happy to

play13:19

I I knew it I told you I told you that I

play13:21

was going to be nutritarian again I just

play13:23

didn't know when and I think I'm slowly

play13:26

but surely kind of getting there so I

play13:28

want to share this with you a bit and

play13:30

hopefully um hopefully you're doing well

play13:32

I'll show you the rest of my food in a

play13:33

little bit here um the other thing I ate

play13:36

was I had some freeze-dried mango that I

play13:38

got from CVS the other day while I was

play13:40

out and about and it's really crunchy

play13:42

and yummy and so I had some of that and

play13:44

that's it let's see what time is it I

play13:46

should probably put my salad together

play13:47

now because I'm looking at the clock and

play13:49

noticing I have to go get my girls in an

play13:51

hour hour and hour and a quarter so I

play13:54

better get my salad going which is

play13:55

something important to think about

play13:57

because you want to make sure you're

play13:59

eating it at a time where you can

play14:00

actually dedicate enough time to chew it

play14:02

which for me is like you know 45 minutes

play14:04

something like that so I am realizing I

play14:07

better do that now so I'm going to

play14:09

actually let me just take you with me a

play14:10

little bit okay so um we're in my

play14:13

kitchen and I'm going to prep this salad

play14:16

how I normally would so I usually what I

play14:20

do is make sure that I have made a salad

play14:22

first thing in the morning or the night

play14:24

before that's the pattern I've been in

play14:26

and it's really really been helpful

play14:28

inside of the Eat to Live family which

play14:30

is my coaching membership one of my one

play14:33

of my wonderful members she sent me this

play14:35

bowl this Holland Bowl Mill bowl a while

play14:38

back and so I like to use this bowl to

play14:40

mix my salad and get the dressing ready

play14:42

and stuff now of course I made this

play14:44

salad several days ago so it's not the

play14:46

freshest which is why I like to make it

play14:47

first thing in the morning or the night

play14:49

before and yeah you just got to kind of

play14:51

stay on track you know but sometimes we

play14:53

don't always stand on

play14:55

track tahini this is my favorite

play14:58

favorite favorite dressing because I

play14:59

don't have to do anything I just pour it

play15:02

and then I come in the fridge and I grab

play15:04

some kind of vinegar oh you know what

play15:07

I'm actually going to do I know which

play15:08

one I

play15:09

want um if y'all remember coach Nancy

play15:13

it's her favorite vinegar it's mine now

play15:16

too balsamic vinegar um it's the Napa

play15:19

Valley Naturals balsamic vinegar it's

play15:21

the Grand Reserve um because it is thick

play15:24

and sweet and

play15:26

delicious um but it doesn't have any

play15:28

added sugar suar oh wait it does have a

play15:29

little bit add sugar but I love it um

play15:33

and having having the um but it doesn't

play15:37

say like it says concentrated grape must

play15:40

cooked grape mus and wine vinegar it's

play15:43

not like they added actual sugar that's

play15:47

from the plant right from the grapes or

play15:49

whatever so what I do with my dressing

play15:52

here is I just um oops I got to open

play15:54

this up so this tahini is my favorite

play15:58

it's from um Whole Foods if you can get

play16:01

it it's awesome they have there's a

play16:02

couple other brands that are like this

play16:04

too what I mean by this is that it's

play16:07

it's pourable so sometimes when you get

play16:10

toah heini it's like settled and you

play16:11

can't really pour it I just don't I

play16:14

never even buy those you know I've had

play16:16

them before but I don't I try not to buy

play16:18

them because they they're just kind of a

play16:20

pain to mix up I love this deini cuz

play16:23

they give you so much room in the

play16:25

container to mix it up to make sure that

play16:27

the oils are fully mixed and then it's

play16:30

so easy to just pour I'm you know lately

play16:34

I have not been really like putting

play16:35

effort into making dressings or anything

play16:37

like that because this is good enough

play16:39

it's close enough it's fast enough and

play16:41

man I'm going to take 45 minutes to eat

play16:43

this salad so I'd like to save time

play16:45

elsewhere right so all I

play16:48

do just pour this over so I get some

play16:52

good coverage with the size of the salad

play16:54

I just kind of know how much to whoops

play16:56

that was too much of course it was cuz

play17:00

I'm doing a video and that's why I

play17:02

messed up cuz I'm doing a video cuz my

play17:04

hands have a mind of their own when I'm

play17:06

doing videos okay and then I do the same

play17:08

thing with the vinegar so um just kind

play17:11

of and the vinegar you know I don't I

play17:14

don't measure this stuff cuz I just want

play17:15

it to taste good and I know like this is

play17:17

like the size of two meals so it's not a

play17:21

problem it's all good you just put

play17:23

enough on so it tastes good um and then

play17:26

I like to eat these salads um um with a

play17:29

big old spoon I like to chop the

play17:31

vegetables really small and I should

play17:33

actually

play17:34

use actual salad things let me bring you

play17:38

in here this is my knife section oh my

play17:41

gosh I love this thing and I'm just

play17:43

going to

play17:45

grab these guys for tossing the salad

play17:49

cuz it makes it so much easier I'm out

play17:51

of practice with doing

play17:52

videos okay so I'm going to toss it and

play17:55

then if I feel like I need any more

play17:57

dressing I'll put more in I can like

play17:58

this is such a huge salad but you know

play18:01

normal people would look at this and go

play18:04

where are you what party are you going

play18:06

to nutritarian look at it and go is this

play18:09

going to be

play18:11

enough also another thing I've been

play18:13

doing lately is um I hired coach Lydia

play18:17

by the way she's the other coach that

play18:18

works with me she's

play18:20

phenomenal she um she's just an amazing

play18:24

coach so I hired her to help straighten

play18:26

out my brain too cuz I feel like every

play18:28

needs coaching and I I'm no exception we

play18:31

always call it like the junk drawer like

play18:34

our thoughts is kind of like you shove a

play18:36

bunch of stuff in the drunk drawer and

play18:37

you don't look at it for a while and

play18:38

then when you hire a coach you're like

play18:40

oh what am I thinking crazy um so I

play18:44

hired her so I could straighten out some

play18:46

more thoughts and all that kind of stuff

play18:47

which has been going wonderful she's so

play18:49

so so good and so is this salad okay

play18:52

here we go so watch me try to pour this

play18:56

and actually get this into that bowl

play18:59

we'll see okay watch this we'll see

play19:01

about this

play19:03

huh and then always there's a moment

play19:06

where I'm pouring where I'm like oh my

play19:07

God I made way too much and then I push

play19:09

it down I sort of push it down and get

play19:11

the rest in there and I'm like I can't

play19:12

believe I fit that in there that's what

play19:14

this one is like and then I'm always

play19:16

glad that I made this much because it

play19:18

feels like the right

play19:20

amount you know if you were to put this

play19:22

into a blender it would be a small

play19:24

amount of food when once you've blended

play19:25

it right so this is step one of this

play19:29

meal right step two is um actually I

play19:32

remember I have some grapes that I was

play19:34

going to eat the other day and I haven't

play19:35

eaten them yet um where's my grapes here

play19:40

they are I made my grapes some of those

play19:43

might not be good anymore but we'll see

play19:45

then I'm going to make my juice real

play19:49

quick and the important thing that I

play19:51

found about myself is that I have to do

play19:53

the stuff ahead of time or I won't do it

play19:55

in the moment that I'm really hungry I

play19:57

won't into it and you guys are

play20:00

benefiting from me already having done

play20:02

this prep work because I thought I was

play20:05

going to eat this a while

play20:07

ago okay uh so down here we have my

play20:12

favorite

play20:17

juicer okay take this off let the juice

play20:21

come

play20:23

out

play20:24

now watch how fast I can clean this

play20:31

it's 2:12 starting right now at

play20:34

[Music]

play20:42

2:12 214

play20:46

done can you believe that

play20:50

214 that's insane so fast my other

play20:53

juicer used to take 15 minutes cuz cuz

play20:57

there was so much mesh so much wire mesh

play21:00

this one has so little wire mesh that

play21:01

it's almost zero time to clean that

play21:04

thing I love it let me just store it

play21:06

back

play21:09

under and it helps to have the

play21:11

vegetables already ready to go but this

play21:13

one is nice too cuz it's a big feeder

play21:14

thing so you don't have to really chop

play21:16

anything just you know big big pieces

play21:19

and it's good enough now I need to taste

play21:22

this juice because it might be

play21:24

disgusting and I might have to add like

play21:26

a lemon or something

play21:28

it's really pretty

play21:30

though Bottoms

play21:35

Up yeah not good let's add a lemon I

play21:38

think lemon is usually

play21:41

the it's not horrible actually I'll say

play21:44

I had a worse one last week it was

play21:46

really bad but I chugged it down anyway

play21:48

then it made my husband drink half of it

play21:49

too

play21:50

cuz you know we can't have to go through

play21:53

that all by

play21:55

ourselves chop this guy

play22:03

and I always like doing that with

play22:04

Lemmons cuz then you can just wash your

play22:05

hands and your hands are all

play22:09

Keen okay now let's see what we

play22:16

did I mean whatever it's drinkable it's

play22:20

healthy it's drinkable who cares let's

play22:22

just do it okay last thing I

play22:25

do um we're I'm doing compost pile now

play22:28

which is really awesome so we I keep my

play22:31

compost in

play22:34

here I have a little

play22:36

um container and actually I'm not going

play22:39

to put it in here I normally would it's

play22:40

almost full I got to empty it I'm going

play22:43

to put it on the counter for now cuz I

play22:44

have some other things that we need to

play22:45

take

play22:47

out we're making dirt over here folks oh

play22:50

here's my plan lately no sugar big salad

play22:54

vitamins good reminder I need to take my

play22:56

vitamins too cuz I always forget that

play22:58

that that's why it's like part of my

play23:00

plan now is to make sure I take my

play23:02

little supplements I like Dr fman

play23:05

supplements so I take those the

play23:06

multivitamin the mushroom one the

play23:08

turmeric one I also take the LDL

play23:12

cholesterol one as well okay so that is

play23:15

lunch um I'm going to finish cleaning up

play23:17

a little bit so I've got my big huge

play23:19

salad my grapes and my juice that is

play23:21

going to be a huge huge meal I'm

play23:23

actually going to add some of this tofu

play23:24

too I forgot to do that I'll add some of

play23:27

this leftover

play23:28

tofu

play23:30

and lunch dinner is

play23:32

served and I will update you if I eat

play23:35

anything else but I really I don't think

play23:37

I could possibly fit anything else and

play23:39

it's 2:15 so there should be enough time

play23:41

for me to finish this now I'm going to

play23:43

park myself in front of the TV and eat

play23:46

because it's the total opposite of what

play23:48

you hear in all diet advice but uh I'm

play23:50

going to park myself in front of the TV

play23:51

because it passes the time when you're

play23:53

chewing all the time it's all you're

play23:55

doing is chewing um and I know that oh

play23:58

that was my other toini I put it in

play23:59

there which was so smart to put it in

play24:01

there but then of course I forgot so I'm

play24:02

going to sit in front of the TV and eat

play24:04

that so that I don't get bored and that

play24:06

I make sure I eat it and I'm not

play24:08

thinking about all these other

play24:09

foods and yeah that's what works for me

play24:13

so let me put some things away yeah I

play24:15

said if I have anything to update you on

play24:18

I will but I think this one is going to

play24:20

kill the Cravings today so that's it if

play24:23

you have any questions thoughts I'm

play24:25

going to try to put everything down

play24:26

below in the description or make a cheat

play24:28

sheet or something like that for you to

play24:29

have it let me know down below how

play24:31

you're doing how have you been what's

play24:33

going on in your life I miss you I hope

play24:36

play24:38

play24:39
