Speaker 1 (00:01):
This is gast podcast. So um codes up to that
microphone right there, because, uh, I want to say her
name right because we've been friends for a while, but
I don't. I've never asked to actually say it. Oh, Pria,
that's what I thought. Yeah, you nailed it. You like time.
Think how you had a guy who can do that
for you, like pulling my strong man. I always I
(00:27):
had a guy who did that for me. No wait wait, um,
that's how we were all here. Actually, teamwork is dreamwork. Baby.
Uh so let's give it up Aaron Opria And that's
it right. But we've been first for a long time.
I met you. Whenever Jane Kramer had her baby shower,
was no Halloween party? Okay, anyway, when Jane Kramer had
(00:50):
her Halloween party, that's when we met. Was it a
Halloween party? Shoot, I don't know. Maybe it was because
I feel like it wasn't dressed up. Were you at
the baby shower? Yeah? I think I was. The baby
shows it could have been the baby. The baby cries
whenever she's in my arms. Of course, she's what two
or three? Now? Three? Yeah, and you get the newborn
and the newborn of course. Um. But Jane's children. They
cry when I hold them because I have You're really special.
(01:15):
That's what that means. I don't think. I mean, I
think it means something else, which is probably I make
children cry. I don't that's what it means. How are
you doing? I am fantastic. I love your hair. Well,
thank you. It's so easy, dude. I can never go
back to having hair again every same. What color is
it now? Because you change it up right? No, actually
(01:36):
it's always the same. So I die at platinum. And
then I use um purple conditioner that's supposed to strip
the yellow out, and if I do it every day,
it just turns it a slight tint of purple, so
it's not really colored purple. It's just the conditioner. We've
all got to have our bits, you know. I'm gonna
have our things stand out from the crowd. We mentioned Janna,
but you have trained so many celebrities that we know
(01:56):
from Carrie Underwood, Oh my god, Carrie Underwood, Mary Morris, Kelsey.
What do you say about carry hotty legs? Hot they
all have. I mean, they all have beautiful legs, so
not just Carrie has beautiful legs. But in addition Marin Kelsey,
Carrie Casey, all of them do. They're all amazing. They
have beautiful bodies and they work hard for him. I
(02:17):
love on Instagram you call them pretty legs. Pretty? Do
you want those pretty legs? Do you want? I want work?
They don't come easy, that's for sure. Take me to
carry for a moment um. She hard to train. No,
nobody's hard to train for me. It's all fun. It's
all a game. It's all puzzle piece and it's um
all learning personalities and just having a good time with it.
(02:40):
If you can turn fitness into a game, people are
more engaged and more willing to want to do it.
And you really do that all the time on social media.
I follow you and you're moving all the time. In fact,
you say you don't need a gym membership because the
world is your gym. Right absolutely, to Banda's baby. You
can do them everywhere. There's a no excuse workout. I mean,
kids go to bed, take a nap, here you go.
(03:01):
You got four minutes. The whole world's your jim knock
it out. So what's like the biggest misconception would you
say about like getting fit? About diet and exercise in general.
A couple of misconceptions is one, you don't have time.
Everybody has time. It has to be important to you.
If it's important enough to you, you'll make time. If
it's not important, you'll make an excuse. So once you
drop the excuse, as you'll find the results. So make
(03:23):
a priority and you will find results format okay. And
number two is you have to eat clean to get lean,
so you can work out all day long. But if
you're not eating clean, your body is not going to
get the results you want. So it has to be both,
and you cover that in the book. It's called the
four by four Diet. And by the way, it's four
key foods, four minute workouts, four weeks the body you want,
which I love all this, So tell us about the
(03:45):
book and sort of the concept. So my book, The
four by four Diet is definitely a lifestyle book. It's
not really a diet book. It's all about how to
learn how to learn to live a healthy, balanced lifestyle forever.
I'm gonna teach you four tricks that if you follow
these four simple rules, you're trick and rules, your body
will lean down and it's not gonna happen overnight. Just
remember the weight didn't come on overnight, doesn't fall off overnight.
(04:06):
If done correctly, it's a journey. It's not a it's
not a sprint, it's a marathon. So it takes time
learn to live a healthy, balanced lifestyle. But I want
you to have fun doing it. I don't want you
to feel it feel deprived. Like through my lifestyle. You're
not going to feel deprived. It's all about eating clean,
to get leant, clean to get lean, work out to
get strong. So I teach you by changing these four
simple things with time. If you stay on it forever,
(04:30):
it's not like, oh, four weeks and I'm done. No,
these are rules that you can truly fall over. You're
not going to feel deprived. I'm not telling you don't
eat carves. That's not realistic. Will you lose weight faster
by not eating carves? Absolutely do. I think it's a
lifestyle that most people can attain forever. No, what's your
cheat food? Ar Um donuts. Hey had one yesterday in Chicago.
(04:50):
Was so good. It was a like a cinnamon one.
It was a cake donut, but it was like a
cinnamon cake donut. It was so god. I love donuts.
I had just finished a really long shoot and I
was like, I think it's treat time. But we did
walk three miles to get the donuts, So is that okay?
(05:11):
It's all about balance, right, That's what I was talking about.
And when we go out trade my my partner, you
guys love him, Oh my gosh. And when you go
out with Aaron, she brings her own Beat juice along
for the ride to mix with her tequila. Right, tequila
and beat juice. That's like my happy juice. Beat juice
is my happy juice. And then you add tequila to it,
(05:31):
it's like double happy. It's so fun. How often did
you drink Beat juice? I drink two shots a day
every day. I don't drink tequila every day. Tequila is
only on Saturdays for me, So tequila is Saturday, but
Beat juices every day of my life. Two shots. I
drink one in the morning. It's beats, lemon and ginger,
and I drink it for the energy it gives me.
That is Everyone's like, how do you have so much energy?
(05:53):
It is beat juice. Beat juice keeps me happy and
so it just um. I drink one in the morning
after I have bread of us, and then I drink
another one about an hour before I work out. That's
my pre workout. And do you feel like instantly sort
of the start lift. What do you feel? It's not
like caffee or caffee like coffee where you just get
kind of jittery or like it's you just feel really alert.
(06:15):
You realize, wow, I'm alert. This actually came from a
client of mine. This is how the whole beat juice
things started. Did you bring me some? Am I seeing
some beet juice? There's some beet juice for you. I mean,
I want to feel what you're talking about. How quick
will it will I react to? You know what? It
takes about an hour? You want to try it? So
it's beats, lemon and ginger. Don't spill on your pink
(06:35):
shirt because it does make a mess as soon as
you open that. Someone needs to get you a paper towel.
Oh yeah, here we go with the good stuff. They're
good stuff. At one shot, you drink the whole thing.
The whole thing. Hey, Marin and I did it at
a Christmas party with Tila. I wish you had something
to drink with me. Cheers, cheers, shot shot shot, shot shot, shot.
(07:00):
It's pretty good to people like, oh, beat juice. It
tastes like lemonade. It tastes like an off lemonade. That
the lemon sets the taste off of whatever. That's what
I always say. It's my kids actually described as an
off lemonade. The lemons take the flavor. The beats sweeten
the lemons. I like beats, which is unusual. People don't
like that. People hate them. But the lemons make it
not taste like beats. I could do that, and it's
(07:22):
make a huge and make enough for three days. So
I keep them in these little three ounce Mason jars.
So what I do in the morning, I have one
after I have breakfast. Is I like to do it
when I have some food on my belly because in
the morning, if I get up and do it right away,
I have noticed it will give me a belly ache.
So I have a little food and then I do
it in the afternoon before I workout. And then if
I go to a bar on Saturday, which I go
to Whiskey Row every Saturday and day we've seen and
(07:45):
I go in the afternoon because guests who likes to
be home to cook dinner and go to bed me,
Are you kidding? We gotta get up and work on
Sunday morning, So we were home by six o'clock, six thirty.
I mean, on our wild night, will stay out till seven,
but we do. We go out around three third and
we go dance at Whiskey Row on the rooftop has
the best of any day and we have a blast,
(08:07):
and so we take our beat juice with us. Nice.
Do you drink caffeine ever? Then? Well, you know what.
I love the feel of having a cup of coffee,
Like I will I make a cup of coffee and
I would drink a little bit of it. But I
just love the feeling of holding the cup of coffee
in the morning. But I don't really care much about
the caffeine from the coffee. I mentioned cheat like doughnuts,
(08:27):
But what's your favorite? Like exercise when it comes to
like Tobada's and so tobatas are the best. It turns
all fitness into it. Can you say that? A second ago?
And I was like, what is she talking about? Did
I misunderstand? Here we go. It's a four minute workout,
twenty second bursts of exercise followed by ten seconds of
rest for eight rounds. All you do is download a
free interval timer. It can be any Tibotta timer, there's
(08:48):
a gazillion out there. Just download a free one hit
start and do any workout. So in my book, I
haven't laid out a whole program for beginners all the
way to advance and it tells you what tobatas to
do each day. So put some good music on. If
you have good music and you have a Tabada timer,
it's a party time workout. That's it's a workout party, dude.
(09:09):
It's a good time. It's a beat uice that doesn't beat.
Juice comes first reaches the pre party. Do you make
Year's resolutions? Are you just constantly you know, you're on
your fitness routine? You know what? My new Year's resolutions
try to find a little more balance between work and
home life. I don't really have that my my um, well,
actually I haven't gotten that a little bit this year.
(09:30):
With Saturday dancing that's my let go time, But everything
else is pretty much work. Your work is obviously fitness,
and you work out of your home, and so it's
hard to like have those lines. So yeah, well I work,
I go in home. Um. The client's house to house
all day long, and some come to my studio. But also, um,
I have you know, a lot of medium in the
(09:50):
middle of writing another book, I am I shooting your podcast,
you know. I said, lots of fun things that I'm
doing all over the place. And then I also have
virtual training, which is so fun. And that's where people
can sort of like see you and you see them,
uh viea what Skype or something or so. What it
is is if they sign up, they get a ticket.
(10:11):
We email the code in for them to sign in,
and so everyone joins this one room. Everybody sees me,
but I see everybody and I can fix all their form.
So that's the biggest thing is I can say, hey, Marry,
you're blah blah blah. You're not pushing your hips back
around on your squad if you do this, or if
you turn your feet this way. So I can tweak
them to where they can learn perfect form, which is
(10:32):
the key to fitness. And then we turn it into fun.
I mean it's a lot of fun. It's like a
workout party in your own living room with me. Yeah,
you'd be like Cody, you're dead lifts sucks that I
feel like I can never dead lift well because I
always feel like you around your back. Yeah, you want
to automatically do that and you have to push your shoulders,
pop your booty out, pop your shoulder back. You were
(10:55):
a marine, which I find so interesting before all this, um,
and by the way, I should tell everyone, you were
the first female platoon attached to an infantry in war
an a war zone, which is amazing. Leader, um, incredible.
So do you miss any of those experience? My gosh,
I feel like I missed some record. So Sean makes
(11:16):
fun of me because on my workout playlist that I
listened to myself, not for anyone else, is um, God
Bless America. I mean every day I listened to that
song probably three times a day Greenwood, God Bless the
USA or God Bless America Lee Greenwood Greenwood. Okay that
God Bless America. That's God Bless the USA, right, because
I'm proud to Yes, his wife was on our virtual
(11:40):
training one night. Yes, I love that song because that
song was when we got our when went through boot
camp and we got our ego glob of an anchor.
When you just finished boot camp, that song was played.
So I am obsessed with that song. It's a great song.
I've long time said that it should be our national anthem.
I agree with all due respect to Frantasy Scott, I
think and I don't know, there's something about that song
(12:01):
gives me chill. So I jumped for up to that
song every day. Was it? Francis am I getting it right?
Francis Scott key? Whatever nailed it? Uh? So tell me
about maybe a military experience you had. First of all,
did you meet any presidents while you're out in the field. No,
I didn't meet any presidents. So, um I was a
field m P. As a crew, UM I shot cruiser weapons, fitticls,
martin nineteens, all the fun guns. Um I was a
(12:22):
turret gunner. During my first sumployment, I did two years
in Iraq and then my second one. UM I was
when I had that all female betune. So when we
cleared out Felujah, they needed female to be attached to
the infantry, which we were the first female that I've
ever been attached to the infantry, and then plus the
first female in the war zone. Two um in the
Marine Corps, and so they needed women to search men
(12:45):
because the men couldn't search women when they were letting
the people back in the city. And so that's what
I did my second deployment. Pretty it was a good
learning experience. Um. Everything, I feel like everything that happened
during my military days is maybe who I am today. Um,
It's just it's been a great, great experience, and I
think I miss it. I would say five days a
(13:05):
week I think of it. I'm like, gosh it. And
I've even talked to him maybe I should go back in.
I was like, I'm too old, probably, But actually someone
someone a year ago or something, said I think you
can go back in. I was like really, And I
was like, dude, I want to give up this crew
because I you know, that was my I was in
for nine years. I never planned on getting out, but
I end up having to get out because of family situations.
Since I got out. Um, but my plan was to retire,
(13:29):
and so I would be retired now, which is crazy.
I can't believe on that all. But I'm not going
to go back in because it would never be the
same because my friends are all out now. It would
never be the same experience as what I remember in
my head. But it was such an amazing experience for
my life. Well, thanks for your service, first of all,
but I also want to say, like, do you find
it difficult to sometimes turn with the book in my hand? Here?
Is it difficult sometimes to turn the chapters of the
(13:51):
pages of your life? I find that sometimes I always
look back and go, oh, man, I want to go
back and live that for another day or more. Part
of life is learning to be where you are in
the present and not think about what happened yesterday. You know.
I don't feel like I ever looked back and think
I want to be back there. I am forever grateful
for the experiences I have had. I have closed that shopter.
(14:13):
Sometimes I look back and think, was that really my life?
And we were at sixty six days with no shower?
I'm like, was that really my life? I mean I was.
We went so I sat in Quait before the war
actually kicked off. So I was there in oh three
before the war actually kicked off. I went in on
day one when we're a mob gear and just nasty
living in fighting holes. I mean nasty, like we had
to dig our fighting holes and sandstorms, and I mean
(14:36):
the sandstorms were so bad that people just I mean
it was so bad. You couldn't eat, you couldn't do anything,
you couldn't see anything, You stay in your gas masks.
It was awful, and I looked back, I was like,
was that Did I really live that experience? You know,
sometimes it doesn't even feel like it was real, But
you know, I feel like, all right now, I feel
so fortunate to be where I am now. I never
said woke up and said one day I'm at train celebrities.
(14:57):
And I got certified to train when I was eighteen,
and then I joined Marine Corps and I was like, oh,
I think I'm a train again when I get out now.
And so all I've ever known was fitness, and all
I wanted to do was teach people to love it
as much as I did. I wanted to find a
way for people to enjoy it and how they can
live a healthy life. Son, and I feel like it
one thing led to another. I never said I want
(15:18):
to train a celebrity. It happened, but I didn't go
looking for it. Is there? Have you said everyone's easy
to train? You don't have you have any problem children
that we need to take care of, because I can
help you with that. I've got connection work, baby. Yeah. No,
you know, dude, I'm so blessed. I have, like, seriously
the best clients. They're also good to me. I mean,
are they always happy? No? Is everybody always happy? Is
(15:38):
anybody always happy? I mean I am just kidding you
kind of a you know what. I'm pretty happy, but
I'm sure my husband would say not, I am. I
have a lot of energy. Going back to the book
real quick, I know it's all about sort of living
a lifestyle, changing your life, so it kind of matches
a healthy diet and exercise lifestyle. But is there a
current like fitness trend you kind of like, like I
(16:01):
kind of dig the Keto stuff personally because I can
kind of live that. I feel like you feel like
you can go forever without carbs. No, I feel like
I could live it for a few weeks if I
had to get in shape, which I'm kind of on
that trend right now because I'm going to Mexico in
a couple of weeks. So like that's what I was saying,
Like those kind of diets will definitely lean you out quickest,
(16:21):
but they're not usually um something that people last forever on.
And so I like to preach more of how to
do this forever and not feel deprived and not want
to kill somebody because you haven't had carbs. Like I
mean that that's a real thing. I would be like
the most miserable person to be around. I don't believe
in loading up on carbs either. I mean, you have
(16:41):
to eat clean carbs. I don't eat starches at night.
I eat carbs as in like vegetables. But I don't
do starchy foods at night. I eat them early in
the day. We have time to burn them. So it's
simple rules like that. So I don't believe in giving
them up. I mean, I love oatmeal, croppie oatmeals, my jam. Dude. Yeah,
we've been making have it. You can do so many
things that you can make it into, Like pumpkin oatmeal.
(17:01):
You just add pumpkin and pumpkin seasonings in there. You
can make apple cinnamon. You wake up and smells so good,
like I go to bed, I'm like, come on, time machine,
hurry up, breakfast time. That I'm disappointed by today is
that you didn't bring some tequila to mix with my
beat juice. It's my that's Shawn's fault. I had his
sitting on the counter and dude, he left it Okay,
(17:27):
Sawn fault. Listen, you're the coolest person ever. Thank you

think it means something else, which is probably I make
children cry. I don't that's what it means. How are
you doing? I am fantastic. I love your hair. Well,
thank you. It's so easy, dude. I can never go

And when we go out trade my my partner, you
guys love him, Oh my gosh. And when you go
out with Aaron, she brings her own Beat juice along
for the ride to mix with her tequila. Right, tequila
and beat juice. That's like my happy juice. Beat juice
is my happy juice. And then you add tequila to it,
(05:31):
it's like double happy. It's so fun. How often did
you drink Beat juice? I drink two shots a day
every day. I don't drink tequila every day. Tequila is
only on Saturdays for me, So tequila is Saturday, but
Beat juices every day of my life. Two shots. I
drink one in the morning. It's beats, lemon and ginger,
and I drink it for the energy it gives me.
That is Everyone's like, how do you have so much energy?
(05:53):
It is beat juice. Beat juice keeps me happy and
so it just um. I drink one in the morning
after I have bread of us, and then I drink
another one about an hour before I work out. That's
my pre workout. And do you feel like instantly sort
of the start lift. What do you feel? It's not
like caffee or caffee like coffee where you just get
kind of jittery or like it's you just feel really alert.
(06:15):
You realize, wow, I'm alert. This actually came from a
client of mine. This is how the whole beat juice
things started. Did you bring me some? Am I seeing
some beet juice? There's some beet juice for you. I mean,
I want to feel what you're talking about. How quick
will it will I react to? You know what? It
takes about an hour? You want to try it? So
it's beats, lemon and ginger. Don't spill on your pink
(06:35):
shirt because it does make a mess as soon as
you open that. Someone needs to get you a paper towel.
Oh yeah, here we go with the good stuff. They're
good stuff. At one shot, you drink the whole thing.
The whole thing. Hey, Marin and I did it at
a Christmas party with Tila. I wish you had something
to drink with me. Cheers, cheers, shot shot shot, shot shot, shot.
(07:00):
It's pretty good to people like, oh, beat juice. It
tastes like lemonade. It tastes like an off lemonade. That
the lemon sets the taste off of whatever. That's what
I always say. It's my kids actually described as an
off lemonade. The lemons take the flavor. The beats sweeten
the lemons. I like beats, which is unusual. People don't
like that. People hate them. But the lemons make it
not taste like beats. I could do that, and it's
(07:22):
make a huge and make enough for three days. So
I keep them in these little three ounce Mason jars.
So what I do in the morning, I have one
after I have breakfast. Is I like to do it
when I have some food on my belly because in
the morning, if I get up and do it right away,
I have noticed it will give me a belly ache.
So I have a little food and then I do
it in the afternoon before I workout. And then if
I go to a bar on Saturday, which I go
to Whiskey Row every Saturday and day we've seen and
(07:45):
I go in the afternoon because guests who likes to
be home to cook dinner and go to bed me,
Are you kidding? We gotta get up and work on
Sunday morning, So we were home by six o'clock, six thirty.
I mean, on our wild night, will stay out till seven,
but we do. We go out around three third and
we go dance at Whiskey Row on the rooftop has
the best of any day and we have a blast,
(08:07):
and so we take our beat juice with us. Nice.
Do you drink caffeine ever? Then? Well, you know what.
I love the feel of having a cup of coffee,
Like I will I make a cup of coffee and
I would drink a little bit of it. But I
just love the feeling of holding the cup of coffee
in the morning. But I don't really care much about
the caffeine from the coffee. I mentioned cheat like doughnuts,
(08:27):
But what's your favorite? Like exercise when it comes to
like Tobada's and so tobatas are the best. It turns
all fitness into it. Can you say that? A second ago?
And I was like, what is she talking about? Did
I misunderstand? Here we go. It's a four minute workout,
twenty second bursts of exercise followed by ten seconds of
rest for eight rounds. All you do is download a
free interval timer. It can be any Tibotta timer, there's
(08:48):
a gazillion out there. Just download a free one hit
start and do any workout. So in my book, I
haven't laid out a whole program for beginners all the
way to advance and it tells you what tobatas to
do each day. So put some good music on. If
you have good music and you have a Tabada timer,
it's a party time workout. That's it's a workout party, dude.
(09:09):
It's a good time. It's a beat uice that doesn't beat.
Juice comes first reaches the pre party. Do you make
Year's resolutions? Are you just constantly you know, you're on
your fitness routine? You know what? My new Year's resolutions
try to find a little more balance between work and
home life. I don't really have that my my um, well,
actually I haven't gotten that a little bit this year.
(09:30):
With Saturday dancing that's my let go time, But everything
else is pretty much work. Your work is obviously fitness,
and you work out of your home, and so it's
hard to like have those lines. So yeah, well I work,
I go in home. Um. The client's house to house
all day long, and some come to my studio. But also, um,
I have you know, a lot of medium in the
(09:50):
middle of writing another book, I am I shooting your podcast,
you know. I said, lots of fun things that I'm
doing all over the place. And then I also have
virtual training, which is so fun. And that's where people
can sort of like see you and you see them,
uh viea what Skype or something or so. What it
is is if they sign up, they get a ticket.
(10:11):
We email the code in for them to sign in,
and so everyone joins this one room. Everybody sees me,
but I see everybody and I can fix all their form.
So that's the biggest thing is I can say, hey, Marry,
you're blah blah blah. You're not pushing your hips back
around on your squad if you do this, or if
you turn your feet this way. So I can tweak
them to where they can learn perfect form, which is
(10:32):
the key to fitness. And then we turn it into fun.
I mean it's a lot of fun. It's like a
workout party in your own living room with me. Yeah,
you'd be like Cody, you're dead lifts sucks that I
feel like I can never dead lift well because I
always feel like you around your back. Yeah, you want
to automatically do that and you have to push your shoulders,
pop your booty out, pop your shoulder back. You were
(10:55):
a marine, which I find so interesting before all this, um,
and by the way, I should tell everyone, you were
the first female platoon attached to an infantry in war
an a war zone, which is amazing. Leader, um, incredible.
So do you miss any of those experience? My gosh,
I feel like I missed some record. So Sean makes
(11:16):
fun of me because on my workout playlist that I
listened to myself, not for anyone else, is um, God
Bless America. I mean every day I listened to that
song probably three times a day Greenwood, God Bless the
USA or God Bless America Lee Greenwood Greenwood. Okay that
God Bless America. That's God Bless the USA, right, because
I'm proud to Yes, his wife was on our virtual
(11:40):
training one night. Yes, I love that song because that
song was when we got our when went through boot
camp and we got our ego glob of an anchor.
When you just finished boot camp, that song was played.
So I am obsessed with that song. It's a great song.
I've long time said that it should be our national anthem.
I agree with all due respect to Frantasy Scott, I
think and I don't know, there's something about that song
(12:01):
gives me chill. So I jumped for up to that
song every day. Was it? Francis am I getting it right?
Francis Scott key? Whatever nailed it? Uh? So tell me
about maybe a military experience you had. First of all,
did you meet any presidents while you're out in the field. No,
I didn't meet any presidents. So, um I was a
field m P. As a crew, UM I shot cruiser weapons, fitticls,
martin nineteens, all the fun guns. Um I was a
(12:22):
turret gunner. During my first sumployment, I did two years
in Iraq and then my second one. UM I was
when I had that all female betune. So when we
cleared out Felujah, they needed female to be attached to
the infantry, which we were the first female that I've
ever been attached to the infantry, and then plus the
first female in the war zone. Two um in the
Marine Corps, and so they needed women to search men
(12:45):
because the men couldn't search women when they were letting
the people back in the city. And so that's what
I did my second deployment. Pretty it was a good
learning experience. Um. Everything, I feel like everything that happened
during my military days is maybe who I am today. Um,
It's just it's been a great, great experience, and I
think I miss it. I would say five days a
(13:05):
week I think of it. I'm like, gosh it. And
I've even talked to him maybe I should go back in.
I was like, I'm too old, probably, But actually someone
someone a year ago or something, said I think you
can go back in. I was like really, And I
was like, dude, I want to give up this crew
because I you know, that was my I was in
for nine years. I never planned on getting out, but
I end up having to get out because of family situations.
Since I got out. Um, but my plan was to retire,
(13:29):
and so I would be retired now, which is crazy.
I can't believe on that all. But I'm not going
to go back in because it would never be the
same because my friends are all out now. It would
never be the same experience as what I remember in
my head. But it was such an amazing experience for
my life. Well, thanks for your service, first of all,
but I also want to say, like, do you find
it difficult to sometimes turn with the book in my hand? Here?
Is it difficult sometimes to turn the chapters of the
(13:51):
pages of your life? I find that sometimes I always
look back and go, oh, man, I want to go
back and live that for another day or more. Part
of life is learning to be where you are in
the present and not think about what happened yesterday. You know.
I don't feel like I ever looked back and think
I want to be back there. I am forever grateful
for the experiences I have had. I have closed that shopter.
(14:13):
Sometimes I look back and think, was that really my life?
And we were at sixty six days with no shower?
I'm like, was that really my life? I mean I was.
We went so I sat in Quait before the war
actually kicked off. So I was there in oh three
before the war actually kicked off. I went in on
day one when we're a mob gear and just nasty
living in fighting holes. I mean nasty, like we had
to dig our fighting holes and sandstorms, and I mean
(14:36):
the sandstorms were so bad that people just I mean
it was so bad. You couldn't eat, you couldn't do anything,
you couldn't see anything, You stay in your gas masks.
It was awful, and I looked back, I was like,
was that Did I really live that experience? You know,
sometimes it doesn't even feel like it was real, But
you know, I feel like, all right now, I feel
so fortunate to be where I am now. I never
said woke up and said one day I'm at train celebrities.
(14:57):
And I got certified to train when I was eighteen,
and then I joined Marine Corps and I was like, oh,
I think I'm a train again when I get out now.
And so all I've ever known was fitness, and all
I wanted to do was teach people to love it
as much as I did. I wanted to find a
way for people to enjoy it and how they can
live a healthy life. Son, and I feel like it
one thing led to another. I never said I want
(15:18):
to train a celebrity. It happened, but I didn't go
looking for it. Is there? Have you said everyone's easy
to train? You don't have you have any problem children
that we need to take care of, because I can
help you with that. I've got connection work, baby. Yeah. No,
you know, dude, I'm so blessed. I have, like, seriously
the best clients. They're also good to me. I mean,
are they always happy? No? Is everybody always happy? Is
(15:38):
anybody always happy? I mean I am just kidding you
kind of a you know what. I'm pretty happy, but
I'm sure my husband would say not, I am. I
have a lot of energy. Going back to the book
real quick, I know it's all about sort of living
a lifestyle, changing your life, so it kind of matches
a healthy diet and exercise lifestyle. But is there a
current like fitness trend you kind of like, like I
(16:01):
kind of dig the Keto stuff personally because I can
kind of live that. I feel like you feel like
you can go forever without carbs. No, I feel like
I could live it for a few weeks if I
had to get in shape, which I'm kind of on
that trend right now because I'm going to Mexico in
a couple of weeks. So like that's what I was saying,
Like those kind of diets will definitely lean you out quickest,
(16:21):
but they're not usually um something that people last forever on.
And so I like to preach more of how to
do this forever and not feel deprived and not want
to kill somebody because you haven't had carbs. Like I
mean that that's a real thing. I would be like
the most miserable person to be around. I don't believe
in loading up on carbs either. I mean, you have
(16:41):
to eat clean carbs. I don't eat starches at night.
I eat carbs as in like vegetables. But I don't
do starchy foods at night. I eat them early in
the day. We have time to burn them. So it's
simple rules like that. So I don't believe in giving
them up. I mean, I love oatmeal, croppie oatmeals, my jam. Dude. Yeah,
we've been making have it. You can do so many
things that you can make it into, Like pumpkin oatmeal.
(17:01):
You just add pumpkin and pumpkin seasonings in there. You
can make apple cinnamon. You wake up and smells so good,
like I go to bed, I'm like, come on, time machine,
hurry up, breakfast time. That I'm disappointed by today is
that you didn't bring some tequila to mix with my
beat juice. It's my that's Shawn's fault. I had his
sitting on the counter and dude, he left it Okay,
(17:27):
