Speaker 1 (00:03):
What up, y'all. Welcome to the Cheeky's and Chill Podcast.
I'm your host Cheeky's and today I'm once again pulling
back the curtain and letting you guys into my life.
So without further ado, this is Cheeky's in Chill. If
you follow me on Instagram, you probably have seen my
God Morning posts like a million times. It's like my
(00:24):
favorite thing to do. I feel like it's my way
of spreading God's love and his goodness, and it's also
a note to myself, so it's like my favorite way
to start. But here's the thing. As soon as I
wake up, it's not like the first thing I do.
I try not to touch my phone, and if I
touch it, it's just to put meditation music on and
(00:45):
I go into my restroom and that's where I do
my prayer and meditation until after I do all of
that is when I do my God Morning. Anyways, I
usually like to open up the balcony because for the
most part, Poncho, my dog's leaps on the balcony, So
I just like to get like a whiff of like
fresh air in the morning, and I let them in
(01:05):
and I just like, thank you, God, because I feel
like the first hour when you wake up is the
most important. So for me, it's like feeling that, you know,
that breeze of air and putting on my meditation music
and going into the restroom. Usually what I like to
do to kind of wake myself up is brush my teeth.
Even though I did it at night, you guys, still
(01:26):
there's a lot of people that I hear I'm just saying,
like they brush their teeth at night and don't feel
that they need to do it in the morning. No,
you guys, I think it's important to brush your teeth
in the morning and at night. So anyways, I brush
my teeth. That helps me wake up. And then I
washed my face with cold, cold water because sometimes, and
I used to do this a lot before, I felt like,
(01:46):
oh my god, I need coffee to wake me up,
Like in reality, all we need is sometimes I just
cold water and brushing your teeth helps you just wake up.
And after I do that, I have my meditation music
on already. I turn on an inceent or some sage
or some Battosanto, and I just kind of set the tone.
It just smells really nice. I love the smell of it.
(02:07):
And I just cleanse my area my space, I grab
my devotional, I read it. I have those devotionals. I
have so many different ones that I use throughout the year.
But I like to just read a little passage. Something's
just short and sweet and to the point. If it's
not that, it's like some type of cards, you know.
I have some from Wordiful. I have some. I don't
(02:27):
know if you guys have ever read the book Untethered Soul,
but he has some also, some like a deck of cards.
So I like to pull something and every day is
a little different, but it's just something to kind of
set the tone of the day. I also have affirmations
on my mirror, so I like to just whatever it
is that I need to work on that week or
that day, I have a different affirmation and it's important
(02:49):
for me and to me to start my day on
the right foot. And before looking at Instagram, before going
on Twitter, before checking my emails, it's kind of like,
let me set the tone of my day with centering myself, connecting,
thanking God, having an attitude of gratitude, you guys, even
(03:10):
before asking like God help me with this, it's more
of like thank you God that I'm alive. Thank you
that I woke up this morning. Thank you that my
siblings are good. Thank You that my boyfriend's good. Thank you,
Like you know, it's just thanking God. Think in the
universe takes you so much further than you can imagine
than even just I need this, I want this, and
it's like, no, it's about really just being grateful. So
(03:32):
for me, that's super important. In the morning. After I
do that, I then do my God Morning. Did you
guys hopefully read? And my God mornings are always different.
Sometimes it is one of the cards that I pull,
or sometimes it's just something that comes from my heart
or a quote that I find that I love, or
I share other pages. You know, it's just something that
resonates with me that will hopefully help you guys. I
(03:54):
just feel like that's part of my mission on earth
is to help you know in that way and spread love.
And that's what I try to do every single day
with my God Morning. So whoever reads it, thank you
so much. And usually I'll go to the gym. So
here's what I do now that I've been this year
that I started like my trainer again. I'll wake up
at five in the morning because I have to see
(04:15):
her at six thirty, So five, I take my thyroid
pill and I drink nothing but water. That's all I
do for the first hour that I'm up, while I'm
doing my meditating, brushing my teeth, all this stuff that
I just explained, and then I try to leave the
house by six. That's when I have my green tea.
I have my green tea with my collagen and my honey,
because honey is a natural way of also giving you
(04:37):
that boost that you need. A lot of people stay
away from it because it has a lot of sugar
and yes, but if you're doing it in the morning
and you're using it kind of like a pre workout,
it works out wonderfully. So I feel like green tea
has so many different benefits. I love green tea, you guys.
And then obviously collagen. You guys know I'm always pushing
it because I drink it every single day, And you
guys know collagen is great for the hair, for the nails,
(04:58):
for the skin, for the bone owns. So that's my
little thing. And I have a little snack on my
way to the gym. I work out three times out
of the week. I try with my trainer, so from
six thirty to seven thirty, sometimes seven thirty to eight thirty,
it all depends, and then I do cardio on my own.
So at the gym with my trainer, what I do
(05:19):
is we start with leg Day, So usually on Tuesdays,
I see her Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays, and when I can't,
you know, because my schedule is a little crazy, we
still try to do leg day. So we focus on
leg day on Tuesday. On Thursdays, we do upper body
and it's a little bit of everything like biceps, triceps,
so you know, a little bit of back, all upper
body for a whole hour. And then the third day
(05:41):
that I work out with her, which is usually on Saturdays,
we do a full body workout. That's like my least
favorite day, you guys, my goodness, because she has me
jumping and all this stuff. So we do everything all
in one legs, upper body and cardio, and then when
I don't see her, I do cardio. I try to
do at least thirty minutes to forty five minutes of cardio.
I try not to do more than forty five minutes
(06:02):
because I feel like when I've done, because I go
hard on cardio out on mys s around like I
do intervals. I like starting off at a slow pace
two minutes and then I do intervals. I go really
hard and then I chill because it's really good for
your heart rate, so I go hard, and I've found
that anytime that I go over forty five minutes, I
feel more tired throughout the day. So seriously, a lot
(06:22):
of people I know don't like cardio, but it's so
good for you for so many reasons. Like I feel
like when I don't do cardio, I can't think, So
even when I'm short on time, I'll just do twenty
minutes at least twenty minutes as long as you're sweating,
you guys, a little bit like start little by little.
It's it's helped me so much mentally. When I don't
work out, I don't feel as sharp, you know. So anyways,
I try to do cardio by myself two to three
(06:44):
times a week, so I'm always like checking off. And
I think I've shown you guys on social media where
I do. I'm like, okay, one out of five days
because that's what I try to do, or two out
of five days to keep myself accountable as well, because
I try to do at least five times a week.
And again, I'm always talking about rest, you guys. Rest
is important. Part of my routine is also like my vitamins.
(07:14):
So as soon as I wake up, I take my
thyroidor medicine, like I said, and I just drink nothing
but water. But I prepare my vitamins. I do chewabules,
you guys. I just find it better and more tasty,
and I don't know, I just enjoy it more. So
I do chewabuls. I do a calcium chewable type of
little thing that I don't know the name of it
right now, but I do calcium. I do my vitamin C,
(07:37):
especially with like you know, all covid and stuff. It's
very important for us to keep our vitamin C high.
And then I do a B twelve and a B
six it's all in one. And I do some Arnica pills,
you guys, which helps with my muscles because now that
I'm working out, it helps with like pain and muscle
soreness and stiffness. So I do and then I know
(07:58):
I'm ah biotin. Biotin is so important, you guys. My
hair has been flourishing since I've been taking these vitamins
for the past year, like consistently, like it doesn't matter
what time it is, you guys, or if I forget.
Sometimes I'll leave them in my pocket because I'll take
them right before going into the gym, and then throughout
the day I'm like, oh my gosh, my vitamins. I
gotta take them. So I like to do it on
(08:18):
an empty stomach. I feel like your body absorbs it
better when you do vitamins on an empty stomach. But
some are different, so make sure you read that. Some
do require you to eat and then take them. But
my vitamins are chewable, and I made sure that you
didn't have to take them with food or after eating.
So anyways, just wanted to put that out there because
I'm super religious with my vitamins, with my supplements. Oh
(08:40):
my god, I forgot. In the morning, I take a
memory pill, you guys, for focus and memory and all
this stuff. And at night, my doctor had told me
to take a vitamin B twelve again, so I do,
and that helps me with like having a good RESTful
night and then waking up with energy. So that's what
I take. Sometimes take magnesium, like if I feel a
(09:01):
little bit ka ballah, you know, to go to the
restroom the next day. And one thing I want to
start implementing again in my routine are green juices. I
used to do green juices all the time, like celery juice.
I feel like that is so important to like for
that to be one of your first meals or your
first meal is to have a green juice, a fresh
green juice. I feel like it helps coat your tummy,
(09:23):
it helps with your digestive system. So I want to
start doing that again. I've told you guys this before.
Everything is in like routine. Like having a routine and
doing things over and over. Being consistent helps you just
in life just to be successful. To have that discipline,
and it is a little hard to get used to,
but it is so important, you guys. So I basically
(09:45):
do the morning thing every single day, and when I don't,
I feel so off. I feel like, oh my god,
I didn't do it today. And there are days where
I'm just like I just want to lay in bed,
like I'm just gonna wake up and I'm just gonna
lay in bed, and I thank God for my bed.
I'm like, thank you God so much for this day.
I'm always saying, thanking God. It's so important to me.
But usually ninety five percent of the time, you guys,
I do what I just told you. Guys. I've learned
(10:08):
to be disciplined and to also get my team on
that same page where it's like, you have to respect
my time, and my time is try to wake up
at five six around there, and I'm not available to
get on some serious calls until like maybe nine thirty
because I have to respect myself and respect the things
(10:30):
that make me a better person. And these are the
things that really do help me and help me feel
better every single day. So working out and all that
good stuff. Okay, you guys. Anyways, I'll stop talking. I
love you guys. Thank you for listening to Cheekys and Chill.
Thank you for wanting to hear me talk. I love
you guys so much, and I will see you on
the next episode of Cheeky's and Chill. See y'all. That's us.
