Speaker 1 (00:00):
Everyone jumps right to you just don't want to feel anything.
I just not. It's just like the fucking times of
not wanting to feel. You don't even want to feel happy,
you don't even want to feel sad, you don't want
to feel anything. You're a fucking human. You're supposed to feel.

Speaker 2 (00:12):
We are the only animals in existence that are able
to have emotions like we do, and thoughts like we do,
and feel like we do, and a while of the time,
like you said, worse, we're trying to numb that or
avoid those things.

Speaker 1 (00:25):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (00:26):
I did for years, sure with alcohol.

Speaker 1 (00:29):
Right, Yeah, now I feel everything times.

Speaker 2 (00:32):
That's fucking hard, it.

Speaker 1 (00:33):
Is, dude, I feel everything. I will have fucking tough
conversations and I'll be fucking crying and I don't care.

Speaker 2 (00:41):
You and I before I started recording, we just had
a nice conversation about some stuff that's on our chest, right.

Speaker 1 (00:45):
So yeah, communication is also key. Like you, people don't communicate.
You keep things inside, you don't talk to people, you
don't tell anyone how you feel. You're just living in
I don't know, like you're scared of everything. Welcome to

Nerdle or what's up Nerdle?

Speaker 2 (01:58):
How are you doing well? What's up with you? My friend?

Speaker 1 (02:01):
You know, just about to burp a die coke burp.

Speaker 2 (02:03):
But excuse me, guys, if I were to have a burp.
It would be an electrolyte burp. My got my electrolts,
but you know they're justified. It's fucking hot out there,
and I've been running.

Speaker 1 (02:16):
My Yeah, how many miles today?

Speaker 2 (02:19):
Only like three and a three and three quarters. It
was a speed interval workout, okay, Yeah, it was a
tough workout. I did eight hundred meter four sets of
eight hundred meter intervals at pretty intense like a mile
pace essentially a little quicker th wow. Okay, so it
was a hard workout. My legs yeah, fatigued. I bet

(02:41):
I crushed fifteen miles over the weekend from my long run,
which is actually the longest run I've ever done was
fifteen is fifteen miles now, and then I did a
leg workout on Monday as well and scorched my legs.
So these running on heavy legs, Yeah, forcing those adaptations.
It's right now and it was really humid today, but

(03:03):
we do the hard things. Yeah. I was in my
fourth rep of that eight hundred meter interval run. And
the key with like intervals is to like just with running,
is to really pace yourself so not come out too hot,
you know. So my first rep was slow, was the slowest.
But my fourth rep, I was I was feeling. I
was like, man, I don't know if I got a
quarter of the mile a quarter mile in, which is
halfway through the rep, and I was gasping for air.

(03:24):
The air was so yeah, so hard, and I wanted
to fucking quit, like I can't do this. It's mental.
It was mental, you know, it is power through And
I said, my I had my best REP, so yeah,
we can do hard things. You know. It's I'm fatigue
and humid. Those could be excuses for why I didn't
show up for myself and push myself, or they could

(03:46):
be fucking reasons why I push myself, you know.

Speaker 1 (03:49):
Right exactly.

Speaker 2 (03:50):
Literally, I was literally muttering to myself, don't be a
little bitch. Don't be a little bitch. Stop being a bitch,
don't fucking bitch out. It's what I was telling myself,
you know, like you said, you talked about this in
your in your orries today, follow the plan, not the mood.
My mood was to say, dude, it's so hot, I
can't breathe, I'm tired. I don't want to yeah self,
this last rep, Yeah, that want to be helping me?

Speaker 1 (04:10):
You know that kind of like brings you down. You
start like talking all those negative things. Okay, I can't, right,
but when you're like, bitch's yet, I get David Goggins
on my ass.

Speaker 2 (04:22):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (04:25):
Like when I was training for my marathon, I listened
to David Goggins audiobook Can't Hurt Me, and that got
me through. It was so fucking motivational. I would recommend
it to anyone that's like training that has like maybe
like runs that you're just going at a like a
regular pace and you're not like fucking speed running like
Matt was today. But it really talks about like it's
all mental. Like there he has these tools that he used,

(04:46):
like he's like I gotta grab from the cookie jar.
Like that's when shit gets real for him. If he's
got to like grab some cookies from the cookie jar,
is what he calls it. It's like his mental fucking
you know you just he's like who's going to carry
the boats? Right? And he just like repeats the ship
and just keep going. It's all fucking mental. Yeah, it's
so true. It's and I talk about that today like

(05:07):
it's it's all like fucking mental. Your your mindset is everything.

Speaker 2 (05:12):
It is. It absolutely is. We need to do hard
things to grow and change, but they're hard, and our
brain doesn't want us to do these hard things. It
doesn't want to be uncomfortable. So when we're in these runs,
these hard runs or hard workouts, or riding out the
urge to like binge or overeat or something emotionally eat,
it's fucking hard and it's uncomfortable.

Speaker 1 (05:33):
But I think not everyone rides the waves. You got
to ride the waves. You got to ride the way
comfortable wave.

Speaker 2 (05:39):
Matt. Yeah, yeah, urge surfing literally, yes, yes, with anything.
I'd be with drinking, it could be with with really anything,
you know, but yeah, because here's the reality too. For myself,
it's only going to get harder. You know, that fifteen
mile run, I'm just progressively adding more. I'm on a
deload the week this week for my long run, so
we only doing seven miles this weekend, but then next

(06:00):
weekend I do seventeen and then yeah, so I'm gonna
be and then I'm gonna be running fucking full marathons
and I'm not even not even going to be the
long of my runs, you know, right, So.

Speaker 1 (06:13):
I love it. Matt. Yeah, you're gonna be crushing out
kata In this time. You're your way more like I think,
I think fit cardio vascular wise, yeah, you know, like elevation.

Speaker 2 (06:25):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (06:25):
Like so when when you hiked it, I think that's
the last time I hiked katat In as well, was
with you? Honestly, I think again, I am too almost, Yes, Matt,
Andy's coming to him. Mandy, she always listens to the podcast.
I was so ladd and She's like, I'm coming. I'm like, yay,
how exciting, I said, Mandy Moore, you gotta come.

Speaker 2 (06:47):
You know the mountain names or I don't know. I
think you probably want a new one.

Speaker 1 (06:54):
Yeah, fucking fish sticks for rocco and yeah, that's got
to go. But that's exciting. So Matt last He's gonna
be hiking catad And on my official ten year sober
anniversary with Amy and Mandy. I'm so fucking pumped. I
don't think I've ever hiked on my official anniversary besides
my one year anniversary. So this is like I've always
like hiked on like the day before the day after,

(07:16):
So I'm actually hiking on my actual day that I
walked into an AA room. So last time Mike hiked,
Mike Matt hiked. It was like twenty twenty three, and
that's when he fell down the little fucking ravine or
whatever the clip.

Speaker 2 (07:29):
I think when we did it twenty twenty two. I
don't even know. It's all blur. We've been doing this
podcast four years now as of yeah, crazy, so I think.

Speaker 1 (07:38):
It was twenty twenty two or twenty twenty three, I
don't even know. So he's done a lot more training
cardiovascular wise, I think, than ever before, so this should
be a different. Of course, last time you were injured,
so it's hard to it will be hard to gauge almost.

Speaker 2 (07:54):
That's the thing. I don't have anything to gauge it
off of because I was doing it with a bust
and knees. So that was yeah, done right because yeah,
literally gashed, but I still did it. So anybody go
back to that episode. I didn't recap. I don't remember
what episode number it was, but I can look it
up while we're chatting. But yeah, yeah, that was hard hike.
For sure. It would have been hyped hard because of

(08:16):
my knee.

Speaker 1 (08:17):
And also it's the hardest trail that we did, the
hardest trail, and you injured yourself.

Speaker 2 (08:21):
So this is awesome.

Speaker 1 (08:23):
The one we're doing is not that hard, but it's
still hard. Anything on Todden is hard, very hard. I
should say hard.

Speaker 2 (08:30):
Yeah, let's be if nobody's if you haven't done malcoltoud
and y'all it is no joke, okay, Like I say
this in parentheses, it's only like fifty seven hundred foots
I think as at stomach or fifty nine hundred foot
but that's all elevation gain. Yeah, you're starting literally almost
at sea level.

Speaker 1 (08:48):
I think you are bouldering. You are not. You're rock climbing, bouldering, scrambling.

Speaker 2 (08:54):
So it's very rocky. Lot of tree, big trees, yeah yeah, yeah,
and it's very humbling.

Speaker 1 (09:01):
You you literally fucking question your I'm already questioning doing it,
Like I'm just like, oh my, I know how hard
it's going to be, but I also know the reward
that you get when you get to the top. And
it's almost like one of those experiences like it just changed.
It changes your life honestly and so many good ways.

Speaker 2 (09:19):
Yeah, it just.

Speaker 1 (09:20):
Really every time I do it, I realize how I
can do harder and harder things every time.

Speaker 2 (09:28):
Now that's how it works, right, like we do know, Yeah,
like wow, I did it. Okay, Now that becomes a
new baseline doing the hard thing. Then then hard things
become easy. Then you seek out harder things like we
never settle, like you shouldn't be settling at least right
and like you said, like I'm excited to see cardiovascular

(09:48):
wise where like how easy or not easy it is
for me? I mean I just did also Mount Kilmanjaro
in January, so I for a while.

Speaker 1 (09:57):
Now yeah, oh you're fucking gonna crush it. Yeah, looking
forward to it.

Speaker 2 (10:00):
Now. I'm running I'm training to do I don't think
I've said it officially on the podcast yet. No, Oh,
fifty k trail race is what I'm training for right now.
Don't have a trail run trail race picked out, but
I'm training as if I'm going to do one, whether
I go in one, I know.

Speaker 1 (10:16):
One you can I know one you can do this
summer coming up, Well my next summer, I should say.

Speaker 2 (10:22):
Yeah, my training plan takes me up through November is
where I've got. I started. It was a sixteen week plan,
so but I am looking to do maybe like a
half marathon or full marathon as a as a shakeout
kind of thing like September October or something.

Speaker 1 (10:37):
Yeah, because I have the fifty k that I always
sponsor the mcgonna cook Trail Race. They have a thirty K,
fifty K, a twenty k, and a ten k, so
that that's that's a fifty yeah, thirty miler up in there.

Speaker 2 (10:50):
Yeah, yep, yeah, fifty k is like thirty five miles.
I think, I don't know, it's a lot. And you know,
in truely meat fashion, I'm just bypassing the martor on altogether.
And just that's my passion is trail running, hiking. That's
why I got it there, was to get into trail running,
and road running was a means for me for training
for that.

Speaker 1 (11:08):
So yeah, fun, were you looking something up?

Speaker 2 (11:14):
Oh, I was gonna look Yeah, Nerdle alert, gotta squirrel.
I was gonna look up our katat in episode right
while I'm doing that's Nerdle, give me an update on
yourself and your own kind of journey right now?

Speaker 1 (11:29):
What's going on? Okay? So, oh, I feel like I
should talk about some of the things that have been
getting asked recently. So everyone, and if you're new to this,
podcast listeners, I know, welcome you guys. So I've been
doing this bikini prep. We're calling it a bikini prep,
but it really is a photoshoot with three of my
team members to just you know, celebrate the fact that

(11:51):
we can do hard things. We just went and built
muscle for almost a year and then reshredded body fat
to just do a fun muscle mommy photo shoo type thing.
So we're going to wear like fun sports bras and
shorts and maybe maybe some biker boots. I don't know,
but it's not gonna be a bikini photo shoot. I'm
not doing a competition, Okay. So I just want to

(12:12):
put that out there. But a lot of people are wondering,
like what am I going to do when this is done?
Am I gonna lose all my progress? Like a lot
of people are just like, you know, are you just
gonna go back to maintenance? What's gonna happen? And it's like, okay, like.

Speaker 2 (12:27):
You're gonna be a free for all.

Speaker 1 (12:28):
You know, I'm not gonna end this and just blow
the fuck up that. I think a lot of people
just don't understand how to live a life in maintenance
in general, and so you think that everyone should just
be consistently dieting and being in a deficit, and that's
not how life is, and that's how how you're not
supposed to live. I will not be in a deficit, Okay,
so that's number one. But also I'm not going to

(12:51):
gain all my weight back, okay. And also, your bodies
change as you do these different phases. Right, You're you're building,
and then you you're cutting, You're building, you're cutting. How
do you think these people get to look the way
they do when they get advanced, Right, it's like an
advanced thing throughout the years. That's why muscle building takes years.
To get a shredded body takes years. I've looked different

(13:15):
throughout the years, throughout different phases in my life. I've
had different bodies. Right, that's normal. Everyone's body changes all
the time in general. Right, You're never going to be
at homeo fucking stasis ever, you know, it's just consistently.

Speaker 2 (13:28):
Fluctuating seasons of goal.

Speaker 1 (13:30):
Yeah, yeah, I mean.

Speaker 2 (13:33):
So, I mean, yeah, I agree with you. They're not
to interrupt you, but like, just for as an example
for myself, you know, my body's a lot different than
it was five years ago, three years ago. You know,
my body's a lot different than when I did a
powerlifting competition a few years ago. Now I'm developing more
of a quote unquote runner's body, you know, because my
goal is different, my eating is different.

Speaker 1 (13:53):
Yeah, you're nutrition. If you're nutrition changes, your body changes.
Your training changes, your body changes. Do you know what
I'm saying. So I've been training specifically to develop esthetic goals.
So when I reverse from this, I can't tell you
what I'm going to look like because I don't know.
I don't know. I just know that I'm going to

(14:13):
go back into a way that I'm not living in
a deficit and I'm not doing extreme things like not
going out to eat or getting twenty thousand steps a day. Okay,
that's what I have to tell you. But I'm still
going to do my help. I always walk no matter what.
That's not going to end. I'm always string training that's
not gonna end. And I'm always making sure I'm eating
enough protein and fiber. I will be continuously tracking macronutrients,

(14:37):
especially in the beginning.

Speaker 2 (14:38):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (14:40):
Yeah, I'm gonna be in controlled maintenance. It's not something
you you end and you're like all right back to
fucking let's get the cheese it.

Speaker 2 (14:48):
And then they immediately stop doing the things that they
were doing to get there. Right then they say, oh, oh,
so and so such and such did a work. Well, yeah,
because you stop doing the thing that got you there,
right right.

Speaker 1 (15:02):
I don't really also feel so deprived that I need
to like binge when I when I'm like done with
this and people are like, what's your first meal going
to be? I'm like, I'm not doing a fucking prep.
I'm not gonna have a fucking like a thousand calorie
cookie waiting for me after the photo shoot, you know,
you know what I mean? Like, that's that's like not
what this is about. I had just a few days ago,

(15:23):
three days of maintenance again because my body's responding really well.
Kelly's like, let's, you know, three days of maintenance and
then go back. She's like, I want to see like
where your your body's gonna do like more towards the
photo shoot. So let's add more calories and.

Speaker 2 (15:37):
Then you're gonna pump some food into.

Speaker 1 (15:39):
You, right right. And then she's like, take some photos,
and so I ate for three days more, and then
I took some photos and she's like, I even think
you look leaner. So it's really it's not about the scale,
it's about the look.

Speaker 2 (15:51):
Right, And because going hey, like if you're kind of
like the way you've been dieting down, you're depleted, you
look great, right, like, but like your your muscles aren't
as full, they're not as hard, right, your glycage and
storages are a little depleted. So leading up to like
a bodybuilding show or a photo shoot, you get really lean.
But then in a couple of days before you you

(16:12):
pump more food into you get your muscles fuller by
getting water, salt, food, carbs. It's right.

Speaker 1 (16:18):
So yeah, yeah, when I was doing my refeed, my
three day on maintenance meals whatever, she's like, add add
some salt to your meals and make sure you're getting
that gallon of water in because she's like, we're right
before the photo shoot up type thing, We're going to
be eating rice cakes and salt and water. And I'm like, okay,
Like it's all about your muscles getting full, like you said, yeah, yes,
and so, and we will also be carbloating or whatever,

(16:41):
and that that hike just so happens to be in
the perfect timing where I'll be able to eat, you know,
just eat more so.

Speaker 2 (16:47):
Hard with for you, like, well, it's going to be hard,
but it'd be a lot harder for you if you
were in a deficit like you are.

Speaker 1 (16:54):
Yeah, right now, she knows like me and Amy, because
Amy's on the same we're on this. We're doing this together.
She you know, we're going to have specific goals, but
you know we're not gonna be We're not gonna be
able to go off the rails, but we're going to
be fueling ourselves properly obviously for.

Speaker 2 (17:08):
All of you guys, so I'm sure you will not sucker.

Speaker 1 (17:12):
Sorry, I don't have my fucking scale with like my
fucking rice and potatoes and be.

Speaker 2 (17:19):
Foodfuls of peanut butter.

Speaker 1 (17:21):
I'll be like, I'll take that twenty grams thank you
goals right, So yeah, but I'm I'm excited. Also, you guys,
this is new to me as well. I've never done
anything like this, and I want you to understand that
when I come out of this, I'm going to make
sure I'm doing it in a healthy way.

Speaker 2 (17:40):
You know.

Speaker 1 (17:41):
So whatever I look like is what I look like,
it's it's not because I'm starving myself. Okay, if I
look like I have more muscle, it's because I don't
I do.

Speaker 2 (17:51):
Mm hmm, right, well said, I think that's a great
message because I think it's very easy and it's good
context too, because that's what we don't get a lot
of is contact on social media right, right and coaches, right,
and it gets people confused. So yeah, yeah, well said,
I love it, did job Nerdle.

Speaker 1 (18:10):
Thanks Nerdle.

Speaker 2 (18:11):
You're welcome, and you're reaching the end. The end isn't
the ear?

Speaker 1 (18:13):
Yeah, I got fucking like three more weeks. I think
the photo shoot's like the twenty.

Speaker 2 (18:18):
Eighth okay of this month of August.

Speaker 1 (18:21):
Let's go, so twenty two, twenty two more days, so
three weeks. Holy fuck?

Speaker 2 (18:27):
Yeah, good time. That's cool. Nice, nice cool. So, I
mean we've kind of already touched on a few things,
but we do have some things we want to talk
about here today. Yeah, some good stuff too that we
want to talk about, so let's get into it. So
kind of like some hard truth today. I mean, that's
you know, that's kind of what we do. But we're
going to be talking about like why simple isn't easy,

(18:48):
which is a really good prompt that I got on
my Q and A the other day and a client
followed up with me about today. Shout out to Amy
for the topic. And then something you've been talking about
on your social media recently is like why you keep
getting in your own way?

Speaker 1 (19:02):
Yeah, because I've been getting questions like what do you
do when? What was the what was the statement when
you just don't want to you just don't want to
do it? Basically, when you when you're just done.

Speaker 2 (19:12):
Yeah you want to we want to talk get into
that one first.

Speaker 1 (19:16):
Yeah, I guess we can do. And then that probably
would stem right into what you wanted to discuss. Okay, yes,
Oh do you ever have a day where you think
I just can't be bothered? And how do you push
through it?

Speaker 2 (19:27):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (19:28):
I think most days I can't be bothered. I mean
does anyone does any can anyone be bothered with a
lot of things that happen every day?

Speaker 2 (19:34):
Right?

Speaker 1 (19:35):
Like you just want to be bothered. I mean I
want to fucking make my meals. I don't want to
fucking do any I don't want to be bothered with
any of it, right, But we we just fucking do it.
And that's what a lot of people they don't do
They let things have that happen to them, life things,
and they let them detour them from taking care of
them of themselves mm hmm. And a lot of people

(19:56):
don't have really good life coping mechanism skills, and the
only way you know how to cope is to go
through a drive through or to grab a drink. And
you need to learn how to cope with life. Like
yesterday for me was a life day, right. It was
just very hectic. I was up at four thirty in
the morning and it didn't stop until like eight at night.

(20:16):
It was event after event, do one thing after another.
Either the dog had to go to the vet. I
was spilling macaroni and cheese. I was at a meeting.
I was doing my steps, you know, I was feeding kids,
making sure people aren't drowning. I mean, it's like all
kinds of shit, right, But I still managed to get
my steps. I still managed to eat my repeat meals

(20:37):
and not go off the deep end. I still managed
to get to bed on time. I still, you know,
I still did what I needed to do. I still
drank my gallon of water, so I didn't let any
of those things ruin my day, or be like, you
know what, Beth, why don't you just eat the mac
and cheese since you spilled the first batch and you've
been waiting to eat your salad that's been fucking sitting
there and kind of soggy. Now, fuck it, right, but

(20:59):
I didn't because what good does that do me? It
doesn't do me any good. It's like I gave the
example today, it's like you will take a reason, like
you got pulled over for speeding. Oh fuck, I just
got a speeding ticket. I'm gonna go over to fucking McDonald's.
Why you're the one that was speeding. You deserve the
fucking ticket. Own up to it. You're like masking the

(21:20):
fact that you feel shitty about yourself with getting food.
That's an emotional response to you getting a fucking ticket.
So you need to figure out your shit.

Speaker 2 (21:29):
Right, is going through the McDonald's drive through the appropriate
thing right there? Or is maybe taking a breath, pausing
and collecting your right, being mindful with your breath and
connecting with yourself for a few seconds. Maybe that is
a better thing to do right right.

Speaker 1 (21:44):
But everyone jumps right to you just don't want to
feel anything. I just not. It's just like the fucking
times of not wanting to feel. You don't even want
to feel happy, you don't even want to feel sad,
you don't want to feel anything. You're a fucking human.
You're supposed to feel.

Speaker 2 (21:57):
We are the only animals in exist since that are
able to have emotions like we do, and thoughts like
we do, and feel like we do, and a while
the time, like you said, worse, we're trying to numb
that or avoid those things. Yeah. I did for years
sure with alcohol.

Speaker 1 (22:14):
Right, Yeah, Now I feel everything times.

Speaker 2 (22:17):
That's fucking hard, it.

Speaker 1 (22:19):
Is, dude, I feel everything. I will have fucking tough
conversations and I'll be fucking crying and I don't care.

Speaker 2 (22:26):
You and I before I started recording, we just had
a nice conversation about some stuff that's on her chest, right, So.

Speaker 1 (22:31):
Yeah, communication is also key. Like you, people don't communicate,
You keep things inside, you don't talk to people, you
don't tell anyone how you feel. You're just living in
I don't know, like you're scared of everything. You're scared
of what someone's gonna say because you said something that
you wanted to tell somebody.

Speaker 2 (22:49):
Mm hm, oh yeah, I have a really good example
of that. A client of mine group call last week.
She set a boundary for herself, like with her family,
you know, and that was really hard for her to do.
Then there was another situation with a friend of hers
where like there was miscommunication or because they didn't communicate,

(23:09):
and so instead of letting it boil over and sit
that feeling sit, she chatted with her friend about it
and they talked it out and they were able to like, oh,
so it was just a kind of miscommunication misunderstanding and
they were able to move on from it. But had
she that with it and let it festered, then that
becomes a big fucking problem. Then you start being resentful

(23:30):
maybe of that person. You internalize it, you over catastrophize,
or you start eating your feelings not showing up. Yeah right.

Speaker 1 (23:39):
Resentment is a huge cause for people to drink and eat.

Speaker 2 (23:43):
Yeah, I agree. And resentment is a lot of the
time because we are saying fucking yes to everything.

Speaker 1 (23:49):
We're so aped yes, Matt, Yes, yeah for real.

Speaker 3 (23:56):
Though yes, the same no is like the biggest form
of self respect, biggest, like one of the biggest things
you can do to respect yourself is to say yeah,
guilt gets in the way of that, right, especially for women,
moms professionals. Right, A lot of our listeners are in
the demographic most of them are yeah.

Speaker 2 (24:13):
And I struggle with saying no too. I'm a people
pleaser and a lot of that stems from my childhood,
my upbringing and needing that validation and then being insecure
in that way and being afraid of rejection. So I
just yes to everything, say yes to everything, even though
it means I don't want to do it and I'm
going to put myself at a disadvantage by doing it,
you know. And that's been a big thing for me

(24:33):
this year, is saying no. And I've had to say
that and no and put myself first in a lot
of different ways, especially like with my business and things
like that. You know. So it's and it's hard, it's uncomfortable.

Speaker 1 (24:44):
Yeah, but saying how do you have those tough conversations?
You feel so much better?

Speaker 2 (24:48):
Mm hmm. Every yes you give to something misaligned with
you and your goals is a no to your own health.

Speaker 1 (24:55):
M h I've been saying no a lot. I fact,
this month, I made sure because I knew I was
going to have the five k day. I knew that
this was going to be the end of my photo shoot.
I was gonna have a team meeting, I was going
to go to Kataden, and I'm just saying no to
a lot of things in August. No, did the podcast
know to making sure I have more time in my

(25:17):
fucking chaotic day do more chaotic shit so I can
focus on what I need to focus on until like
September hits. So it's like, you got to say no
sometimes you just got to for your own fucking sanity.

Speaker 2 (25:32):
Exactly for your own sanity. And this is something you've
talked about a lot on your social media and on
our podcast, is saying no to things right as a woman,
as a mother. And this is something I'm really I've
struggled with as a parent, is saying no because again,
for me, is like I don't want to let my
son down, right, But so I feel and that's something
I've been working through, is every time I say no,

(25:53):
I feel guilty afterwards. I'm sure everybody right now listening
can resonate with that. Yeah, but we're the ones that
are placing that guilt on ourselves and internalizing those things
when we're saying no. We're actually setting a really good
fucking example for our children. I've had to say no
to my son a few times and then this goes.
He's fifteen and a half now, so I'm really trying

(26:14):
to instill responsibility, planning ahead, scheduling things, communication, Like we
have a group chat with me and his mom. You know,
we were at a disadvantage for like him and his
friends in school and things like that because he opened
it rolls in a different school district forty five minutes away.
That's our own doing. That's our choice, right, So we
deal with that. But we can't just get up and
go and take him, like, oh, I want to go

(26:36):
to a friend's house, you know, can you take me
right now? Can you come pick me up right now?
You know, last weeks ago, I was on my long run.
I was doing that was when I was doing my
thirteen my half marathon long run and he called me
and I was like one mile. He kept calling me,
and I was like, all right, I should probab answer
this just in cases it's an emergency. I had like
one or two miles left, and he said, hey, can
you come get me right now? And then I want

(26:57):
to go golfing with my friend, and I'm like, whoaha, wah,
wait a second, I'm like, first of all, I have
one mile left in my run. We talk about this
in like fifteen twenty minutes, okay, So yeah, Then the
answer ended up being no, I wasn't going to do
those things. I was like, I'm not going to come
all the way there, which is an hour and a
half away from me, because i was in Toledo at
my girlfriend's house, and I'm not going to go there,

(27:19):
bring you home, take it so you can shower, and
then take you back there to go golfing. I'm not
going to do that, right. I felt like the world's
worst parent for saying that in doing that, But at
the end of the day, plan these things and I
get a your teenager, your spur like spur of the moment.
You want to do a thing right, and there's a
time and a place for that, but you can't do
that all the time. So like thing no is it's hard.

Speaker 1 (27:40):
It's hard, But then you're teaching them how to be
respectful right, bounce someone else's time and stuff.

Speaker 2 (27:46):
You know, I just had to take my car to
the shop to get my Wheelberry's replaced right right. I
have a lot. I put a lot of fucking miles.
I probably put like six thousand miles on my car
a month. Yeah, it's a lot. Maybe every couple of months,
I don't know, but a lot, a lot of wear
and tear, gas and things like that. So no, yeah,
once you get a job and start paying for your
own car, very soon you'll.

Speaker 1 (28:07):
Understand, yes, exactly, oh man.

Speaker 2 (28:13):
Raising children to be responsible adults.

Speaker 1 (28:17):
It ain't for the weary, No, it's not. It's not
in tough times. I feel like, yeah, at teenageers, they're trying.
I'm just getting into this right now.

Speaker 2 (28:27):
So just right behind Riker, so I'm gonna get Ranker
a shout out really quickly. Though. He did something really
cool and I'm proud of him for this. He's a
sophomore this year, going into sophomore year. He's been golfing
with me for a few years, and I've been planning
in his head, like, Riker, I think you'd really enjoy
golf if you joined the golf team. He thought about
it last year but kind of dropped the ball and

(28:48):
he never reached out to his coach to get out
and find out when practices and stuff were, but this
year he got on it. Like I instilled that in
Mike Riker, if you're going to join the team, it's
all on you, Okay. So he did it and then
he joined. He made varsity as a sophomore his first
year of golf. Fucking amazing, right, And it's been really
cool seeing his transfer or journey so far with golf

(29:11):
a few years ago, because golf is a really fucking
frustrating game and it's mental game, and yeah, you mentally
your game is done for right, you know, three four
years ago when he first started golfing, and you just
applying that to sports and to life, like, hey, you're
going to get frustrated, you're going to fail, You're going
to suck at these things. Right, these are skills, these

(29:32):
are things that you have to just keep repeating, Yeah,
you fuck up, you you make a mistake. That's okay,
it's not the end of the world. You're going to
get better from it. So to see it all coming
together now and seeing him making varsity his first year
of golf as a sophomore, so it's cool. It's cool.

Speaker 1 (29:48):
That is pretty cool.

Speaker 2 (29:49):
It's very very rewarding.

Speaker 1 (29:51):
Mm hmmm. Yeah, that's amazing.

Speaker 2 (29:55):
That aligns like with what we're talking about here today,
with like doing hard things and showing up for yourself
and that let this big fucking thing.

Speaker 1 (30:03):
Yeah, and how the simple things aren't easy, right right, Matt,
that I think you wanted to discuss. Well, it's like,
like I said, I could sit here and be like, yeah,
you got to master the boring basics, right, but applying
them this is where you guys struggle. Yes, this this
is where it's not all about calories and calories out,

(30:24):
although that is how you lose fat. There's so much
that goes around with it. Do you have a supportive household?
Do you emotionally eat stressy? Are you an alcoholic? There's
so many fucking different things, Like I don't like I've
even talked about, and we've talked about on this podcast,
like what is your one thing that you know is
holding you back that you should probably focus on before

(30:47):
you try to fucking track calories? Do you know what
I'm saying? Like, what is that one rock that you
know that stands in your way every single time you
look to lose fat? It's a consistency. What the fuck
is it you need to handle that.

Speaker 2 (31:00):
Yeah, I agree, And so like going back to like simple,
the boring basics, right, So most people know the basics,
know the things that we should be doing, right, Yeah,
our whole foods. We know we should be eating more fruits,
more vegetables, right, you know we should be eating more protein.
I hope we know that we should be eating more protein.
We know we should be eating more fiber, even though
that's one that a lot a lot of people are

(31:21):
aware of and outside of like our podcast, the social
media people don't really importance of fiber, right, Breaking water,
not eating ultra processed foods twenty four to seven, and
moving your body, right, Like those are the simple things.
They're very simple in idea, right, Applying and doing them
can be more complicated, like like you said, And I

(31:41):
think the main thing for that is our environment. Like
you kind of just started talking about, is we live
in an environment that works against us a lot of
the time. And it's our home environment for sure, but
it's also society too, right, it's bs such we have
hyper palatable food that is colorically dense and super cheap

(32:03):
everywhere everywhere.

Speaker 1 (32:05):
Oh yeah, it's like a museum.

Speaker 2 (32:07):
Go to McDonald's. It's so easy to go and buy. Yeah,
fucking chips as a snack.

Speaker 1 (32:13):
Oh dude, I notice it more now because I'm in
this deficit and I'm basically eating one hundred like nutrient
dense foods, basically like fruits, vegetables. I can go in
the fucking chip aisle and I am mind blown. It
is like colors everywhere, there are so many different literally, Yeah,

(32:33):
it's insane. So yeah, food environment is not set up
for us to have massive success.

Speaker 2 (32:38):
So that's one big reason why it's it's simple but
not easy because constantly being bombarded by easy, easy calories
that are cheap, that are going to be feel to
give you that dopamine hit, make you feel good in
the moment, but feel like shit afterwards, and keep perpetuating
that cycle. Yeah, right, fast, super convenient. That's the thing.
Like we've done higher episodes about this, how convenience is

(33:02):
killing us. Right. We don't have to cook food, we
can just do or dash it. We don't have to
go grocery shopping and go move our body. We can
just what is the service where they do your groceries
for you? I don't know. I don't fucking use it,
But then you're paying more, you're not moving your body, right. Yeah,
we have super stressful lives because we're not practicing any
type of stress management. We have no skills to manage

(33:25):
our stress. Stress gets in the way of doing the boring,
basic shit, the simple stuff that we know we should
be doing. Right, we are super stressed and at the
end of the day, we're battling with our coworkers, our
bosses and asshole. I get home and my fucking husband
or wife or whatever didn't do the dishes or just
pissed me off, and I don't want to eat that

(33:45):
nutritious meal that I had prepped for myself. I'm gonna
order Taco bell. I'm gonna go get Taco Bell Ben.
They're done that right now. It's so easy to do.
It's so easy to do because we don't have the
stress management skills to deal with those coworkers, wife, husband,
those feelings, the stressful situations. Yeah, and it doesn't have

(34:09):
like and dealing with your stress also doesn't need to
be some over complicated thing either, right, just.

Speaker 1 (34:16):
The power stress comes in and this is where you
need to have your your coping mechanism skills.

Speaker 2 (34:23):
Right, So pause, if you're stressed fucking pause. Give yourself
a three to five second pause. Connect with your breath
for a few seconds. Tell yourself breathe in, breathe out,
do some do some breath work. It's okay, it's okay,
it's not the end of the world. Talk yourself off
that ledge a little bit, you know, regulate your emotions

(34:43):
a little bit. Go for that walk, Go for your
mental health walk. Right, we're avoiding doing the walks, We're
avoiding doing the strength training because it just doesn't sound good.
I don't want to go to the gym. Binging Netflix
sounds better. Yes it does, and absolutely sounds better, but
that's only gonna make you feel worse. Why don't you

(35:03):
go to the fucking gym and then maybe wash the
Netflix like you can have it both ways.

Speaker 1 (35:09):
Yeah, when you start to build healthy habits and you
start to live a healthier life lifestyle, you will understand
and notice that things don't bother you like they used
to do. Because you're stronger. You're you're starting to be
mentally stronger. You don't fly off the handle easily. You're
taking care of yourself. You're starting to become more happier.
When you start taking care of yourself. You start to

(35:29):
become more happier, okay, like seriously, and things don't become
as stressful as they used to. I used to fucking
drink for I could drop a glass of water and
I'd be like, oh, my life fucking sucks. I'm drinking.
And I know you do. Guys do that with food,
you know. So it's like, take care of yourself and
you'll have better coping mechanism skills.

Speaker 2 (35:53):
Mm hmm. Yeah. And you take care of yourself, you're
better equipped to take care of yourself. That's the reality
that sounds maybe counter like stupid to say or something.

Speaker 1 (36:03):
I don't know, but it's like when you say, Matt,
like you're tired because you're not moving, right, you're.

Speaker 2 (36:10):
Too tired to go on my walk. Well, that's why
you're fucking tired, because you're not going on your walk.

Speaker 1 (36:14):
You're too you're achy from sitting all.

Speaker 2 (36:16):
Day, right, so you're gonna sit there, right, You're gonna Oh,
I'm too tired to go to the gym. I've been
sitting in my office from nine to five and then
I had an hour commute. I'm just too tired. That's
why you need to go to the gym and work
your body and work right and disconnect from the screens.

(36:36):
You know, give yourself an hour at the gym, phone
free without looking scrolling social media, which is a fucking
susspool right now, you know, If that's so, my clients
recently takes detoxes from social media. I'm following people.

Speaker 1 (36:47):
I haven't been scrolling as much as I used to
at all, And in fact, it's probably the past few
weeks been less and less and less and less only
because I can't stand the stuff that I'm seeing anymore.
And it's like I'm not I don't enjoy scrolling anymore,
and people are sending me endless, endless, endless videos and
it's making me crazy. I honestly do not want to

(37:08):
look at anyone else's videos anymore. I don't want anyone
to ask me what I think because it's all bullshit.
It's like, I'm disgusted with where social media is going.
It is a fucking MLM scheme. Everyone's selling something and
I'm not talking about like coaching services or there's like
products like fucking pharmaceuticals and supplements and shit people don't need.

(37:33):
I'm just exhausted by it. Well, I'm exhausted looking at it.
No one needs this fucking shit. What is our world
coming to? Anyway? I can go on, but that too.
That too, It's like scrolling will make your brain hurt,
and it will make you stop doing it. Like I'm

(37:54):
much more happier just focusing on my goals and my
business and just the community rather than just fucking scrolling
endlessly and like looking at other ship.

Speaker 2 (38:03):
Yeah, I agree, and I had I had this summer,
I was kind of I've been mindlessly scrolling more I've
I've noticed that for myself. So I challenged myself for
this month of August. I don't know if you saw
it or I challenged myself in August to get back
to my foundational stuff. So what that was was my
four runs a week. I've been crushing that. I've been
doing that. But also my strength training has been a

(38:25):
little bit inconsistent this summer. You know, I've been dealing
with my my tennis elbow, which is finally feeling better.
So nice myself at the gym again, but for one
reason or another, my strength training has fallen off a
little bit. I've still been doing it, just not as
much as I'd like so I challenged myself two to
three strength training sessions in. But then another thing I'm
challenging myself is social media wise to post more right,

(38:46):
And because I've I noticed that I was spending a
lot of time on social media, but it was it
was it was being a consumer, yeah, other than creator
creating content, helping helping people. Right, So I had to call, like,
get my head out of my own ass, start posting
content again, challenge yourself. And am I gonna do it
three times every day? Realistically? Probably not? Yeah, but I'm

(39:09):
not gonna quit just because I didn't do it three
times one day, right, right, Right, It's not all or nothing.
It's not all or nothing. And that's the most So
going back to like that simple, it's simple but not easy.
One of the reasons why, in my opinion, it's simple
but not easy is because of that mindset thinking error
of all or nothing, all or nothing, which is the
most common cognitive distortion errors. What that is the day

(39:32):
that I made that post, because I posted that, I
put my goals out there for accountability for myself, right,
And that's the thing that people struggle with is with
is accountability. So if you're struggling, showing up for yourself,
fucking be accountable to somebody. And that's where a coach
can come into play. Myself, you and your team, beth Right,
hire a coach to fucking hold you accountable until you
know how to hold yourself accountable. But literally, that day

(39:54):
that I posted that about posting them across my social
media platforms three times a day, guess what I only
posted twice? Mm hmm, so right day one. And this
is where so many people wrong go wrong with that
all or nothing thinking and dieting mindset. They start the
new program, they start the new diet, but then they
didn't hit their calories perfectly that first day. They over ate,

(40:16):
they whatever, they missed their workouts. Why do I even
fucking try? Why do I even bother? The catastrophize right
If it's it's that identity conflict. So if you still,
if you see yourself as somebody that I just always
fall off, or I have no self control, or I'm
an all or nothing person, that internal story or rise
the behavior and the actions every fucking time.

Speaker 1 (40:37):
Yep.

Speaker 2 (40:38):
A couple of weeks ago, I had a flat tire after
my long run.

Speaker 1 (40:41):
But did you slash all the other three month.

Speaker 2 (40:43):
No, I fucking fixed the flat tire and move the
fuck on with my day. You know, Yeah I didn't. No,
I didn't catastrophize it.

Speaker 1 (40:50):
It wasn't it's not all or do you emotionally eat
because of it?

Speaker 2 (40:53):
No, I didn't the emotionally eat. I ate a lot
of food that day, But it's because I ran a
half marathon, you know, and I have an emotionally ate
in a long time. Actually, I just I'm just constantly eating.
So maybe that's why I don't get there emotionally, because
I'm just constantly fucking putting food in my mouth. But
so yeah, like it's that mindset thinking, you're the years

(41:14):
and years and years of all or nothing thinking. But
then it's also like why it's simple but not easy?
Is the diet trump years and years and years of
dieting mindset, the diet culture, the diet programs, the shame
based dieting, body obsession, self sabotaging behaviors. Right, those things
are getting in the way of our ability to build

(41:35):
a healthy, sustainable relationship with food, with our body and
with exercise.

Speaker 1 (41:40):
And following other people's plans.

Speaker 2 (41:42):
Like, so you like how people want your plan you
mean that?

Speaker 1 (41:46):
Or they look at other people and what they're doing.
They're like diet chasing, like what is the next influencer
doing and what are they doing? Should I do it too?
It's like you're never creating your own life style. You're
literally just living off of everyone else's lifestyle. That's why
you're like, yeah, it's simple, but you're never working on
what works for you. You're working on what works for fucking
Sally on fucking Instagram like it. You know, you're not Sally, right.

Speaker 2 (42:09):
You're You're You're you, You're Bob, You're set.

Speaker 1 (42:11):
You have to work on you and your schedule and
your personal goals.

Speaker 2 (42:18):
Mm hmm.

Speaker 1 (42:19):
What are your things that you're getting in your way?

Speaker 2 (42:21):
Yeah? What is your why? Who? Like? Who want to be?
You know, I'm working with a client right now. She's
like finding yourself right now. She's a mother and she
realized that she doesn't know who she is outside of
being a mother. So for literally we've been doing it
in four phases and for the past month just doing
journaling and reflection like who am I outside of motherhood?

(42:44):
Mm hmmm, Yeah, find your identity? Find your identity? Who
are you?

Speaker 1 (42:49):
Like?

Speaker 2 (42:49):
What drives you, what makes you happy? What do you
want to do? Like you said, we don't have to
follow somebody's plan because we want to look the way
they look. You're not going to look the way they look.
You're not gonna be able to do the things that
they're doing because your life is different.

Speaker 1 (43:00):
Mm hmm, longer person, mm hmm.

Speaker 2 (43:04):
And then I guess, and one more thing, like I
have to say about like the simple not easy, is
we want fast.

Speaker 1 (43:11):
We want fast, simple, easy, and fast, Matt simple, easy, fast,
that's what I want.

Speaker 2 (43:16):
Well pick one of those. If it's simple, it's not
going to be easy. If it's simple, it's not going
to be fast, exactly. And if it's going to be fast,
it's not going to be sustainable. If it's easy, it's
not going to be sustainable. Right. But the reality is,
while it's simple but not easy, the longer we do
these things, the easier they become. We talked about at

(43:37):
the beginning of the podcast, and now it's coming full circle.
We do the hard things and then that establishes our
new baseline.

Speaker 1 (43:44):
That's why my my healthy habbits are easy for me
because I have established them. I've established what works for me.
I know you know you're what is the word I'm
looking for? Like, I know what works for me and
I know it doesn't. And if something isn't working for me,
I try to figure out what.

Speaker 2 (43:58):
Will and that haben overnight. Right, that's taken. Now you're
ten plus years into this journey, just like myself.

Speaker 1 (44:04):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (44:05):
Yeah, and we're really we're really just now if you
think about about ten years into this, we're really only
kind of discovering our ourselves and we're always rediscovering ourselves
in life.

Speaker 1 (44:14):
Yeah, I feel like I'm just now almost hitting my
true potential.

Speaker 2 (44:19):
I agree, I agree, it's not very long now. The
reality is you talked about habits. Habits are hard to
break and hard to form. Okay, and think about it.
If you're trying to adapt the boring basic shit, these
foundational things that we talk about, the simple stuff, your
poor food behaviors, over eating, emotionally eating, poor strust management.

(44:42):
You've dealt with these things for ten, twenty thirty years.
That's going to take a lot a long time to
undo those things. Building habits takes as long as it takes,
like there is no Just start working on this habit
and you'll do it. Every day for two weeks and
you're going to be there. That's not how habit formation works.
That's not how that's not how change works. It takes

(45:02):
as long as it takes. Undoing patterns is takes a
lot more than just eating better, trying for discipline, having
more will power. Discipline is a big part of it,
for sure, Having the discipline to to stick to the
plan and not the mood to say no, right to
the discipline part. But yeah, another thing too, and this

(45:24):
just kind of came to my head, is like the
decision fatigue too. You know, we don't want a meal
plan and meal prep, but then we don't. We have
the decision fatigue because we're always thinking about what to
eat because it's not laid out for us. Right, So
you're making all these decisions every single day, and you
can only make a certain amount of decisions. I think
it was President Obama that wore the same thing every day,

(45:48):
as that was one he didn't want to have to
think about what he was wearing. Maybe I'm wrong about
who it was which president was It was one of
our presidents, but fucking thing every single day because he
didn't want to know. It was the apple guy Steve.

Speaker 1 (46:01):
Jobs, he will okay every day, yes, yes, because he
had a million dollars. Doesn't Mark Zuckerberg wear the same
thing every day too?

Speaker 2 (46:08):
Probably a lot of these these yeah, really successful people
probably right, because they're making decisions and thinking about things
all day. They don't want to think about the food
they're eating or the clothes that they're wearing, so they
just keep it really simple and stick to it.

Speaker 1 (46:20):
That's why read, that's the why repeat meals work.

Speaker 2 (46:23):
Yeah, for sure, for sure, repeat meals work. And if
I ever get to the point where I do a
cut myself and drop some body fats and who knows what,
I never say never, I'll probably do that again. At
one point, I'll get I'll definitely be doing repeat meals
and be more strict with like meal prep and things
like that. Even now, I still stick with a lot

(46:43):
of the basic stuff. You knows, just how I get it.
You know, what it looks like is a little bit different.
That's the thing. Like the simple things, these are pillars.
But there's a lot of different ways to attack these
simple things too. Yeah, exactly, we have to find what
works for you. Mm hmm. Yeah, absolutely so, Yeah, that

(47:06):
was a good good topic there. It's not mean easy,
it's simple tons right, dropping our goals on the flip
of a fucking minute. Whatever it is. You need to
have those non negotiables for sure. Cool, So we should
we kind of start wrapping things up then, I guess yeah, yeah, hey,
you you actually mentioned this to me in text the
other day about Cured Cured is having.

Speaker 1 (47:28):
They're coming up with a new flavor of gummies for
the Serenity Gummies. Yeah, that's launch having a special right.

I didn't want to do that run. Did not want
to do that run. You know, you take two or

(49:16):
in recap episode okay, so but year So that was
August twenty sixth, twenty twenty two. It was when that
came out. So we did the hike in twenty twenty two. Wow,
So here we are three years later doing it again,
doing it again, and I still got the scar on
my need to show for it. It was episode fifty.
It was episode fifteen, and that was a really fun episode.

(49:37):
I think we should do it. Was like we did
last time. Yeah, for sure, because we all love I
mean maybe, yeah, we've never had Amy on the podcast,
but no, no, we do a recap with Amy and yeah,
so episode fifty if you want to see what our
experience was like the first time we did the Mount
Katata and together three years ago.

Speaker 1 (49:56):
Yeah, I'm excited to be in the main Woods. It's
so fucking gorgeous over there.

Speaker 2 (50:00):
Yeah, it really is. I'm missing it. I'm missing my
woods time was Nerdle like it's been a while.

Speaker 1 (50:03):
Yeah, it has been a while. When's the last time
was it in Ohio? Was it Michigan?

Speaker 2 (50:09):
Michigan? Yeah, last year when we got together and did anything.

Speaker 1 (50:13):
When we make our best content, it is when.

Speaker 2 (50:15):
We get into the woods together. Because last time I
came to Maine, you you ended up getting COVID like
a jersey.

Speaker 1 (50:22):
Yes, oh my god, I'm going to do that. And
I just got done being sick, so pray to God.

Speaker 3 (50:28):
Like that was it?

Speaker 1 (50:29):
Like I got my summer cold.

Speaker 2 (50:30):
It's gone. Yeah, summer cold. It seems like it was
going around.

Speaker 1 (50:35):
Yeah. I had one day where it was rough. The
one day, of course, the one podcast day last week,
I felt like absolutely dras my sinuses, my teeth were hurting.
I think I told you, like my fucking jaw hurt
for my sinus is so bad. But it lasted just
that really that day, and then a couple of days
later I was just like coughing and just shit's still
blowing out of my nose. But that's about it.

Speaker 2 (50:56):
Yeah, Sarah's going through right now too, not sick necessarily,
but she's having a really big hers out board, Like
when we talk about inflammation, Sarah is somebody that actually
does struggle with because she has autoimmune disease's autoimmune issues
and she has fibromiology. So like she is super flamed
right now and she's having a really big flare up.
Her stomach's locking up her so like her her stomach,

(51:18):
she'll she'll eat and she'll her stomach can't digest it,
so it just sits there. And oh, so it's been
not a pleasant experience for her. So it's like, oh,
that's awful. Yeah, tell you what, dating somebody that has
a chronic illness like that has really been an eye
opener for me. For Yeah, we've talked about chronic illnesses
before on this podcast with doctor Joshua Smith, but it's
a the invisible diseases like that are so hard to understand.

(51:42):
So having that first experience in a way has really
helped me understand that better. But it sucks to see
her go through it.

Speaker 1 (51:48):
I can imagine.

Speaker 2 (51:49):
Yeah, that's awful for sure.

Speaker 1 (51:50):
I hope she feels better soon.

Speaker 2 (51:52):
Thank you. It usually takes like a week or two
and when she has these flare ups, anybody listening right
now can probably like that has fibro or anything like that.
