What is going on, everybody?
Welcome to the Clydesdale
Media Weight Loss Jersey.
Whatever.
I can't talk.
Jersey.
The Clydesdale Media Weight Loss Journey,
where I meet with my
nutrition coach every week.
We do our live check-in.
It's a way to keep me accountable.
Here I am.
But I hate stupid meetings.
We, I have a three o'clock meeting.
I know I say this all the time.
It is scheduled from three to four.
Every single week we go past
the four for no, no apparent reason.
Yep.
You know what it is?
People just don't respect time.
And I get this, like,
like when I block off a 30
minute time block for something,
it's like, I got 30 minutes.
Like,
Let's do this.
I don't, it's not, and people are like, oh,
I know you're busy.
No, it's not that I'm too busy.
It's that I have a time.
I allot time and I do leave buffers,
but the goal isn't to
disrespect somebody's boundaries on time.
And I get this with a lot,
this is going into your
weight loss journey, because guess what?
Those boundaries get crossed
in a lot of people's lives.
And I got people that are like,
they punch the clock at 5
PM and they're getting
emails and messages and
stuff at six and seven
o'clock at night while
they're trying to cook
dinner and do their kids stuff.
Like, dude, you guys,
unless they're paying you
at that time of night,
turn that shit off.
Everybody's got a problem,
but I know you can't do that sometimes,
but yeah.
Damien, great concept.
Make it go long for overtime pay.
I work for the state.
We get no extra benefits.
We don't get overtime pay for going along.
And,
Anyway, they pay me well,
so I should just shut up
and do what I need to do
and get through the day.
But it's just annoying
because we don't get those
extra benefits for anything
in the state anymore.
Because public perception is
that we do a lot for or we
get paid a lot for nothing,
which is such a misnomer.
We don't get paid what the
private sector gets paid
and they've taken away all
of our benefits.
So there's really no,
there's no reason to work
for the state other than
I'm over 20 years in and I
would lose all that
retirement buildup if I did.
When people want to bitch
about that kinds of stuff, work for,
you know,
obviously the time money exchange,
just think about how much
our medical field costs.
makes our nurses and
caretakers make jack shit
but they get freaking a
thousand dollars for a
piece of thread that
they're going to stitch you
up with it's ridiculous so
I'm just saying but holly
says hooray for state work
she's a state worker in
nebraska I believe um as
well so the only thing I
will say is do you have
pretty good health benefits
and like retirement benefits and stuff
So I don't even use the health benefits.
I am on my wife's health
care because it's better
than what I get at the state.
Well, that sucks.
I know that in Florida,
I feel like a lot of the
state employees do get good benefits,
but I could be very, very wrong.
So if you live in Florida
and you're a state worker,
please don't come after me.
So just saying.
But anyways.
That was my first
professional job is working
for the state of Florida.
Yeah.
As a statistician.
I made jacked peanuts
because every retiree comes
down and works for nothing.
Yeah.
So it drives wages down.
But their benefit package was.
Yeah, that's what I'm saying.
Like high end.
You know who's got really good benefits?
Freaking UPS.
I'm being honest.
I mean, even just to be a.
If you get in there just as
a package handler in the morning,
that's how my uncle got in.
He's now a driver for UPS,
but they got kick-ass benefits.
You retire with UPS.
Sounds like you wouldn't think that,
but hold on scratch.
This is no longer the
Clydesdale media weight
loss journey show.
This is the Scott and Cheryl
rant show wrong in the world.
Welcome.
Yeah.
Riff and rant all day long.
Well, we're not talking about CrossFit.
We're not talking about weight.
So I guess there's more to
life than how much we weigh
and how we work out, right?
So there is a real world.
So see Holly?
Look and see Holly has a mom
who just retired from UPS.
So she probably knows.
Yeah.
I got a bunch I could riff about right now,
but I'm not going to go there.
I mean,
if you guys have been watching my
social media, I know Judy has.
Everybody and their mother
has something to say about me.
And it's all good, you know?
So I just had to like...
brush it off so I'll have to
go back uh you uh check
that out you probably
haven't even seen that yet
I'll have to go back and
check it out I uh so I mean
I've been on social a ton I
just been yeah scheduling
posts that's about it we'll
go we'll go into you in a
second but let's just talk
about this real quick okay
it's not okay to comment on
people's bodies just plain
and simple no matter who
you are no matter where
you're at like compliments
not compliments it's not
good but you know what
I got some trolls.
I made an Instagram post about meal prep.
Had nothing to do with just a funny, like,
you know,
I'm not even that funny with
those things.
You guys know me, I suck at them.
But people were liking it.
And just one person comments about, oh,
steroid use or gut,
beer gut or bubble gut from steroids.
And the next thing you know,
I had like 30 trolls.
Just commenting about my body,
about the fact that I'm on steroids,
about the fact that I've
got a beer belly.
Just I'm like 5% body fat
right now on a gains train.
Do you think I really need
to hear this stuff?
And if I was truly on steroids,
I don't think I'd be having
the problems that I have right now.
So that was my little rant right now.
But it's just people just
don't have a life.
And I've had to deal with it
in a time where I'm also
struggling like you with my own journey.
And I'm intentionally
putting on weight and
intentionally eating in a
surplus and having to
listen to assholes on my Instagram.
And I've already hidden
about 20 of the messages
because I want it to just go away.
But every time I go back on,
somebody else has commented again.
They're still going.
I don't know what started it,
but that's my rant as well.
So I'm done ranting now.
Scott, how's your week been, bud?
So I got to ask you,
and I know we're totally off topic,
and maybe that's what this week is about,
our mental health.
Did you do burpees today or
did you garden?
Oh, yeah, I did burpees today.
I actually just got done
working a little while ago.
Yes.
I did a workout.
Isn't it funny how you can
tell as a CrossFitter the
day that somebody does burpees?
Yes.
In fact,
I could show you my beer belly in
a second, but it's black.
So burpees on the gym floor.
It doesn't matter how much
you clean the gym floors,
that turf that just, it just,
you can't leave.
I'm filthy right now, but yes,
I did burpees.
And so the only time you can
comment on another person's
body is in an intimate setting.
And that's between you and your partner.
So Jake, go to town, buddy.
I love it.
Yeah.
I just, uh, you know, God,
if people realize it just,
it was not whatever,
but I'm done with it.
So how, how has your week been?
So my week has been pretty good.
Um, I've had a couple little mini hurdles,
um, that I'm overcoming.
I'm already overcoming.
Um, but it,
but pretty good for the most part.
Well, let's talk about the hurdles.
So first hurdle was my body
started flushing like seriously Thursday,
Friday night, Thursday into Friday.
And then for like three days,
I could not leave the bathroom.
And it was mostly pee.
Like it just was, I was peeing nonstop.
And if you look at my weight
from this week,
like it took a tremendous drop.
Okay.
So, so I'm cool with it.
I know that my body's like
flushing out everything
that's happened to it in
the last little bit.
It just was a wild ride.
Okay.
Yeah, it is,
it is coming down pretty quick.
What is your,
what is your blood sugar been
registering as?
So it keeps dropping.
It is now like for this week,
it's averaging one 30.
That's a good thing.
So, okay.
So this is really good for
you to know because you
haven't seen your doctor yet.
A lot of times with blood sugar stuff,
it's also related to cortisol,
aldosterone.
There's a bunch of other things going on.
So this is actually maybe a
good sign that like your
body is kind of getting back to normal.
Your hormones, insulin is a hormone,
cortisol is a hormone.
All those things are kind of
regulating a little bit
because typically we do see
this in people with blood
sugar issues and
They'll wake up a lot
frequently to threaten it
to go to the bathroom.
They have to use that.
It's a sign of a diabetic issue,
but it also in reverse can
also affect things too.
So this is maybe a good sign
that things are kind of going that way.
I was going to ask you when
you say flushing,
I had like three places
where I'm thinking, I'm like,
is he talking flushing here?
Is he talking flushing urine?
Is he talking flushing bowel movements?
I was like, which way is he flushing?
And maybe I had a little bit
of all of them.
Okay.
Mostly pee.
Yeah.
Then this weekend, lots of sinus.
And then just one night of bowel.
Okay.
But things are kind of regulating now.
Yeah.
Everything's back to kind of
normal bowel movements, normal pee,
like Monday and today.
Okay.
okay um step count I know
you were doing a good job
of like posting on social
media uh did you keep up
with that so what see what
had happened was what
happened was so I've talked
about it on this show I
have this extra piece of
skin I rubbed I rubbed it
raw into the inside of my
leg and the piece of skin
from walking so much
So I've got to figure out a
solution to that,
whether it's different compression.
So I'm trying different
compression shorts now.
Compression shorts or something?
I'm trying new compression
shorts now and everything's okay.
So I'm trying to ramp it back up today.
But I literally,
it was painful to take steps.
So I did get on the bike,
but it doesn't have the
same effect as the Rolex.
But it should still register
on your step count.
Okay.
It does.
If you wear your watch,
you'll still probably see it.
Cause whenever I wear my
watch and I'm on the bike,
it like counts.
It thinks I'm walking.
It does.
If you're on the assault bike, just,
but it either way you're understandable.
You don't, you're,
you are likely walking like
a waddle and you didn't want that.
So I think it was painful.
It was very, very painful.
Yeah.
I think solutions are going
to be number one.
better compression shorts,
which I honestly think you
really should have regardless for,
I do have them, but apparently there's,
they just not fitting right anymore.
Yeah.
Okay.
So we definitely want to do that.
Holly's got a good idea that
those can help as well.
Uh,
cyclists use them and all that kinds of
stuff.
Um, but yeah, Jake, Jake's great idea.
So Jake's going to side
shuffle his way through
those 7,000 steps.
Um,
Yeah, I mean,
I think that obviously
letting that heal a little bit,
the monkey butt powder of
all of the people's Medicare suggestions,
I would 100% agree with to
kind of get it to heal.
But getting back into walking again,
we got to get something on there.
And I think for now,
what you might want to do is sounds dumb,
but like just get an ace bandage.
like just get a big ACE
bandage and just wrap it
around your leg or wherever
that piece is that just to
kind of keep it from rubbing for now.
I know that sounds like a temporary,
but probably will help a little bit.
So you could even like do
Kinesio tape or something
like that just to kind of
keep it from rubbing until
you can find a better solution.
Yeah.
The hair would hurt so bad.
Yeah.
Well, I'm a lady.
I mean, I got to figure it out, but I,
Yeah, I will.
We can go back into ladies talks.
Cause I mean,
Corey was on my podcast
earlier today and I'm
talking about women's hormones.
Now we're talking about you
and kinesio tape and women
have to deal with this kind
of stuff all the time.
So, so Corey said, just walk backwards,
just undo what you did.
Yeah.
Just like Ferris Bueller's day off.
I love that.
We get the miles off.
Yeah.
No,
I think that... So hurdle number one
was the blah.
Hurdle number two, obviously,
was that issue.
Was that one of your hurdles?
Yeah.
Okay.
What was hurdle number three then?
That was it.
Okay.
A couple of hurdles.
I did under-eat this weekend.
All right.
Well, when you say you under-ate,
was it just you weren't hungry?
Was it...
It was the sinuses.
Like when I, when the sinuses are full,
I just do not, I just don't,
I'm not hungry.
Okay.
All right.
I'm taking a look at food right now.
And to be Sunday, I slept so hard.
I did not wake up until after 11.
So half my day was gone.
Yeah.
It sounds like your body is really,
really kind of,
trying to regulate a little bit right now.
So, um, I do see veggies.
So I'm going to go back from,
since our check-in day is Tuesday,
go until the next last Wednesday,
last Wednesday,
you didn't have anything
logged after lunch.
So I don't know what you had
for dinner that day, but your meals,
everything.
Uh, well,
that's the only day that I don't
see anything.
The other days I see, I see Thursday,
I see breakfast, lunch, and dinner.
Um,
friday I do see breakfast
lunch dinner and a snack
and then saturday I see
breakfast lunch dinner
snack sunday again lunch
dinner snack like you said
you weren't that hungry um
well I woke up way past
breakfast yeah so you just
kind of went into lunch
okay so fat intake just
seems to be the one thing
that you're really having a hard time
with um and so and the only
reason I keep bringing it
up is because of possible
gallbladder issues how's
like the whole burping kind
of like digestive stuff
been going uh much better
okay all right that's good
um let's see how your fiber
intake looks fiber intake
is looking pretty good it's
always hard for me to see
your fiber intake because
my fitness pal doesn't show it
So I have to go back into
trainer eyes and look at it.
So like Wednesday,
I said you didn't have much log.
Thursday, fiber was at 22,
a little bit on the low side.
We're going to kind of take a look at,
but you also,
your calories were low that day.
So I know you said your
appetite was a little bit off.
You're in the 20s on fiber.
Okay.
How have you been doing
about making choices in
terms of your carbs,
like getting those complex carbs?
Have you been cognizant of
it or have you been not
really thinking about it that much?
super cognizant of it um
I've been having lavesh yep
um bread wraps yep um I've
been eating a lot of like
like apples and fruit um I
keep forgetting to get
avocados I don't know why I
keep forgetting them on the
list but for some reason I
just keep forgetting
Funny,
I bought avocados this week and I
haven't bought them in a
while because I'm a gains train.
I'm like just sneaking in
calories here and there.
And I'm like,
I'm going to buy some avocado this week.
I'm like, God,
I haven't had one of these
in a long time.
I forgot how much I like them.
So I made like a burger.
I made like a burger bowl
salad and I put like romaine.
I sauteed some mushrooms and peppers.
I'm sorry, mushrooms and onions.
And a burger, ground beef,
I seasoned it with steak seasoning.
And I added like avocado.
And I made this like burger sauce,
pickles.
I made like a big burger.
So it was really good.
So talking food now.
I do see the lavash.
I see really good.
Overall, looks like a pretty good week.
Looks like maybe you guys
had Chinese on Friday night.
Was that was your takeout night?
That was, we actually went out to eat.
Okay.
Yeah.
That was really the only
night that you had like a
little splurge meal.
But everything else looks good.
Really good.
I see beans, you know, and I,
and like I said,
I think the only hard thing
for you is some days your
fat intake gets a little bit high,
but overall solid week.
You didn't have anything
logged yesterday or today.
I, I swear to God, I logged everything.
It could be a, my fitness pal glitch,
but I'm not seeing anything
on my end for yesterday or today.
Yeah, I did not.
I had a busy day at work,
so I did not get my lunch
log because I really had
like 20 minutes to grab it and go.
But I did log my breakfast.
Well, you don't pay for premium, right?
I don't.
Okay, good.
Because we're probably going
to be switching over to a
different app anyways.
That is so much better.
And like everything is free.
Like the barcode scanner is free.
Like you really don't need
the paid version.
I forget what the paid version is.
lets you do differently, but, um, it's,
it's way better.
I don't have, it doesn't glitch at all.
I don't have issues.
It's easy to find entries.
I just, I don't know,
but so where is your weight today?
Um, as you mentioned,
the weight is trending down
pretty quickly, you know, and,
and I also want to give you credit too.
Like you also did start moving more.
So that's also likely
helping get things going.
Also correlation causation, um,
Remember I talked about
insulin sensitivity, the walking,
the moving is going to help with that.
So that your blood sugar is coming down.
So all these little things
are kind of coming together
a little bit to hopefully
help you get things back to
regular again.
So, uh,
right now your weight is at 287.4
down from our spike after
everything at 297.
So we're down back to almost
pretty much where we were
before everything happened.
We're back to like
Back to even keel again.
Does that make you feel good?
It does.
Yeah.
I think the main thing is
let's hope that it's not
just a bunch of water.
Well, it is a bunch of water,
but let's just hope that it
keeps trending down now
that we got you back to regular.
What about the gyms?
So I've actually,
I actually have been
thinking about that today
is something I want to like
reach out to Christy about
and see about on pausing my
membership and what can,
what can I do during a class time?
Well, and how do I monitor everything?
And I have my PCP appointment on Friday.
Well, I think that you and I know that.
Anybody that's listening to
this knows that the
CrossFit community is one
of the most helpful
communities out there.
And CrossFit coaches are
probably the best in terms,
your coaches in particular,
are going to be the best at
getting you a scaled
version of the workout, right?
CrossFit is for anybody,
but it's not for everybody.
right?
So anybody can come in and
do a CrossFit workout and
get a good workout in,
but not everybody's going to do that.
So it comes down to you saying,
you know what?
I need to get my ass out of the house.
I need to start moving my body with people,
making some connections with people again,
so that I can stop
stressing about these stupid meetings,
get my mind off the stupid
meetings and get back
plugged in with the community.
So I think that you should just
Honestly,
I don't even think you need to reach out.
I just think you need to show up.
Hey, I know that a positive membership.
I think I'm ready to come back in.
Can I just have a problem is
like Christie and Patrick
aren't always there when I go.
Okay.
So like, I need to start,
I actually have to pay.
So I have to like, let them know.
Well, when you get there, whoever's there,
there's whoever's at the gym.
is aware that people come in
for drop-ins for start
signing up and all that stuff.
You go in,
you'd see your normal CrossFit coach.
Hey, I, I've been on hiatus for the last X,
Y, Z months.
And I just wanted to come
back in and move my body a little bit.
Just be upfront.
Like, you know, that's it.
And the coach, you'd be like,
happy to see you, dude.
Welcome back.
Let's just start with air squats today.
Like, I just like to know,
let them know ahead of time.
Yeah.
I'm just telling you as well, though,
as anybody else in the gym
is not going to have to let
them know ahead of time,
they're just going to show
back up and be like, Hey,
I've been gone for three months.
I'm ready to get back into it.
You know,
like that's the way people do it.
You don't, you know,
and she'd be happy to have
you back in there.
I'm sure.
So, but yeah, I'd rather just,
and look at Judy agrees
with me and I guarantee you,
you show up back there
They'll be able to take care
of your payment.
Like they're all trained on that.
And if they're not, they have a protocol.
Hey, Scott came back in today.
You can go ahead and charge
his card or he needs to
give you a new card or whatever.
You know, across the community,
they're not going to,
they're just not going to be that way.
It's not like going to Planet Fitness.
Hey, get back here.
It's just, it's not how I do it,
but that's fine.
I mean, I will start back up.
Let's do it.
Let's make it a plan.
How's tomorrow look?
Uh, tomorrow is not going to happen.
I'm in a mandatory all day
training today and tomorrow.
Yeah.
I would have to look at that.
Yeah.
I think that, I think that the,
it's time to rip the
bandaid off and just get back in there.
Okay.
And I understand the meeting
thing is already scheduled.
Trust me.
I get it.
Like that's, I'm not going to tell you,
sorry guys, I can't do my meeting,
but I do think that you
should just get back into the gym.
So don't wait.
So now, so now here's the deal.
Now you really don't have
any excuses because we can
get off of here now and you
can go ahead and shoot her
over that email that you
want to shoot her over.
Hey,
I'm coming back to class Thursday at
noon.
I would like to get signed back up again.
I'm ready to do this.
I am very limited on how I
can get my heart rate up.
I'm planning on going through the motions,
but I do want to get back
into the community.
And that's it.
Wadzombie499,
wire this straight to the gym.
He just bought your freaking
FitAid for you.
That's it.
He bought your post-workout FitAid.
Do you drink those?
I used to.
You know, I don't even know why.
I don't really like them.
But I like having the carbonation,
so I drink them.
But, uh, anyways.
Yeah, I actually,
since all this has happened,
I've really cut out a lot
of the drinks that I was drinking.
Yeah.
Before the caffeine down.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Really just, um,
really just a cup of coffee
in the morning.
Yeah.
Judy looks like she wants to
meet up with you.
Let me just,
let me look at my work
calendar because I scheduled things,
not thinking I was going to
the gym this week.
So I just need to make sure.
You'll be all right.
You're going to make it through.
You know why?
Because they got multiple class times.
I will let Judy know as soon
as I get off this meeting, this show,
if my Thursday's open and I
will go in on Thursday.
Yeah.
It looks like,
so Judy does live close to you,
but not so close.
Yeah.
She, she lives like a half an hour away.
I gotcha.
I drive about,
I drive about 30 minutes to my gym.
It does.
It's a little bit of a commute,
but there's a gym closer to me,
but it's just,
that's the one I go to most of the time.
It's the gym that the people
that I kind of,
I want to say I grew up with CrossFit.
Uh, you know, so, but, uh, okay.
So we're getting back to the
gym this week.
I would like to see you back
in the gym at least one day this week.
I would love to hear
Thursday and Saturday.
I'm fine with you skipping
out on Friday because the, the open,
and it might be Thursday and Friday,
who knows, but I just think it's good to,
to get yourself to rip the
bandaid off and do,
it's going to be like the most,
you're going to have so much anxiety and
I would have a better shot at Thursday,
Friday than trying to go
Saturday because there
there's so such limited
space on the weekend.
Yeah.
Well then let's plan on
Thursday and Friday and on Friday,
don't go like to Friday
night lights and try and
like kill yourself in an open workout.
Cause we know what it's going to be.
We know it's going to be the,
the week of the thrusters.
We're getting,
we're getting chewed up and
spit out as Dave's clue.
I would scream just chipper style.
It's going to be a chipper style,
chewed up and spit out.
That's it.
Start off in one piece and broken down.
And that's not the first
workout you want to come back to.
If my calendar is clear,
and I think it is on Friday, for sure.
Thursday, Friday.
Your calendar doesn't have to be clear.
Let's be real.
It does, though.
It has to have an hour.
I have to work my job.
It has to have an hour.
So guess what?
If your schedule's not clear,
you might have to get up
early and get there before
the day starts.
That'll really shake it up.
Man, will that shake it up.
I got to tell you, Lex can agree.
The morning slot for people
with busy lives is where it's at.
You get up, you get it done,
you're more productive in your day.
But
Or you do it afterwards.
But yeah, so I want to see a check-in.
I would love that for this week.
That would really make your coach happy.
Although your coach is very
happy with you today.
You're putting in the effort.
Nutrition looks much better.
Like I said,
the only thing I see is that
it looks like there is a glitch,
I will call it, in MyFitnessPal, which,
listen, it does happen.
I'm not just putting it in here.
I've been so on it.
So,
but I do want to make sure that the
only thing I'm going to say is this,
is that if you're pulling
up your phone now and
you're not seeing any food there,
there's something's not right.
Is it because that doesn't make any sense?
Yeah.
I, I, I check my food throughout the day.
So I would,
I would know if it's not showing up.
So it was in my app.
I mean, again, I'll double check.
Yeah.
Double check your app and
then send me a screenshot.
Look, Cheryl, it's there.
I would love to see that
because I don't see anything.
Now, so you have your PCP on Friday.
Cardiologist is two weeks from now,
about a week from now, right?
Yeah, it's next week.
Okay.
And then we'll kind of be
hopefully from there in the
clear on things.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Okay.
Lungs, sinus infection,
all that stuff seems to be
getting better.
Yeah, I think so.
I mean,
I'm still having some sinus stuff
and some coughing at night,
but I'm definitely going to
talk to the PCP about.
Okay.
And then what about like,
so I know that you were
saying that walking was
very fatiguing and I know
that you have an issue right now,
but is it getting a little bit better?
It's getting better for sure.
Okay, good.
Okay.
So, um,
are you still able to get movement in?
Like you said, like on the bike,
you're doing that daily.
Yeah.
And like I said,
it's healed up a little bit.
So I'm going to try to do a
longer walk tonight.
Okay.
What have you been doing?
So, so right now in your, like,
what's been your routine
for your gym for the gym
routine right now?
What are you doing?
I've been focusing on the
walking or just getting like half hour,
45 minutes on a bike.
So what are, when are you doing that?
Are you doing it in the
middle of the day after work or?
A little bit in the,
during the day and a little bit at night.
Okay.
So kind of like half and half.
Okay.
Yep.
I like that.
Gets you up and moving a little bit.
How about mobility?
Doing that every morning break.
Okay.
And then every afternoon
break and then right before bed.
Okay.
So you're getting,
you're doing better than I
am because I'm not doing all that.
Kenneth asks,
are you still on medications?
So I have not seen a doctor
since we've talked.
okay so you're still on
everything or now yep
antibiotics no pred we know
that you're on the insulin
the stuff like that but
anything insulin metformin
uh a heart medicine um a
blood thinner yeah um
a blood pressure pill that
I'm hoping they take me off this week.
Cause my blood pressure is not high.
It's like day of surgery.
It was one 15 over 70.
Okay.
Um, it's just,
they were worried about stroke.
So they were putting me on everything.
I got your blood pressure pill.
And then I think that might be it.
So Jeffrey was asking about your F a fib,
um, and that we really just, we,
you're not symptomatic right now.
So it's going to be a matter of, you know,
getting in check with the doctor.
Yeah.
At the cardiologist,
they'll give me an EKG again, just to,
to verify everything.
But right now it's just, um,
it's, it doesn't, I don't feel it.
So I'm not getting that like
feeling of a flutter, um, anymore.
Uh, so I think we're okay, but,
and there's no way to tell
without an EKG.
Okay.
All right.
Well, I feel like right now, this week,
our main focus is going to
be getting you back into
the gym and keeping you
consistent with what you're
currently doing with your
nutrition and not having
any missed days on your tracking,
because I want to make sure
we keep you honest with that.
Um,
That's what I really want to
focus on this week.
Do you have anything
important coming up for you this week?
Nope.
24.3.
I hope not.
Yeah.
No,
just I am missing the open a little bit
this year,
just the community aspect of it.
But at least like with the show,
I'm still somewhat involved
and get to kind of watch everything.
You know what I feel right
now for me with the Open
because of where I'm at
with my own journey is the
only thing I feel is like
the way that people are
talking about the games now
relative to Masters,
it's always kind of been
like that I feel like a little bit,
which is fine.
You know,
like Masters and age group is
different than the individuals.
But it's like, oh,
it doesn't even really
matter if you're competing
or not because like the
Masters aren't even at the games anymore.
Like that's like,
it doesn't really matter.
Like, why does it care?
Why does it matter?
I'm like, well, because it does matter.
Because if you value like
doing that for a reason,
it doesn't matter whether
you're showing up at the
CrossFit Games in August or
whenever the Masters Legends is.
I get it.
It's not the same,
but like it does suck that
people are kind of like, oh,
it doesn't really matter that much.
You know,
it's all the qualification
process is still through CrossFit.
It's still the same thing.
It's just the end goal that's different.
So, and what I always tell people is this,
listen,
you're only going to be on that
field for a couple of days.
So the season and the
training and all of your
stuff leading up to it is
really the enjoyable process.
That's just the end day.
You're only going to
experience that for a couple of days.
So if that's what people are
hanging up their whole year
on is that one thing, it's like,
you're going to be very
underwhelmed for sure.
I mean, don't get me wrong.
This swag is nice.
I think it's, I think it's the, the,
they feel like they were
just thrown to the side.
A hundred percent.
Yeah.
That's something I agree.
Yeah.
Like adaptive got their
thing rolling early, got all this,
their stuff going on.
Um,
Teens have a beautiful arena
to compete in.
They've got Go Ruck as a sponsor.
They've got all of the swag coming.
And Masters was a late
announcement in Birmingham, Alabama,
with a sponsor nobody even
knows from Europe.
So nobody really knows what's going on.
Yeah.
Okay.
I, I, I, again,
I agree that it's messed up,
but it does suck that like, you know,
when I was talking about
like being bummed about the open,
I was busy.
What does it really matter?
The open's not the same for
masters anymore.
I'm like, because for me, I,
I've never been the kind of
athlete that's like,
all of my ducks are about that one day.
That's what I'm saying.
It's like, I value the stages and,
and the progressions and, and,
the hard work it takes to
get to the top level.
And so that's,
that's what I'm saying is I
don't like the fact that people are like,
Oh,
it doesn't really matter because of this.
I don't give a shit about that.
I mean, yes, I care about the end.
I do wish the matches were
going to be taken better care of,
but at the end of the day,
that's kind of what I feel
like I was hearing.
I'm man, we're all on a riff today.
This has been,
This has been a Sherilyn
Scott riff kind of a section.
Well, the final riff,
and I've been on this for a while,
is I just hate that they
put masters on the same weekend as teens.
It's going to create a void at some point.
There are too many masters
athletes that are coaches of teens,
too many parents of teen
athletes that are masters
athletes that are not going
to go to both.
Yeah.
It would have made more
sense if they did that,
if they were going to be
co-hosting it and doing
like a big extravaganza together,
which would have been really cool.
you know, like having it together,
like the age groups, you know, and they,
they could have done some really cool,
like event type stuff,
like teens versus masters,
like spectator stuff, like, you know,
the old dogs versus some kind of,
I don't know.
There could have been some
cool shit they did that
people would have participated in.
But anyways, uh, see Lex agrees with me.
I, uh, say that.
So that's just awesome.
So, yep.
I agree.
I would a hundred percent
agree that that would have been cool.
But, uh,
But we'll see.
You know, it is what it is.
It is what it is.
I look at my friend, Rudy Berger,
two-time defending champion
of the games and his
daughter is 14 and in 24.1
finished seventh in the world.
There's a very good chance
his 14-year-old daughter is
going to qualify and he's
going to have to make the choice.
And as a sponsored Masters
athlete with pressures that
most of the Masters athletes don't have,
does he not fulfill his
obligations to his sponsors
and go to the games?
Or does he go see his daughter?
Well, I mean,
you and I both know that that
does suck 100%.
But
At the end of the day, I feel like, poor,
that's a good one.
I feel like the family
dynamics of the daughter and the father
they're both going to understand, Hey,
we're doing this together
in different places,
but it does suck for them.
Agreed.
100%.
So, and I'm so in on the masters this year,
I've been watching it very closely.
Of course,
Jamie has me there with what she's doing.
And if people don't know,
Jamie won 24.2 in her division.
Oh, that's awesome.
That's great in the world.
I couldn't do it.
So, I mean, I,
I wish I could have been able to do it,
but you know,
life's just going to keep
kicking me and I'm just
going to keep kicking back.
So I'm actually in a really
good head space though,
right now about this whole situation and,
uh, feeling really,
really in a good spot.
If y'all saw my Instagram story today,
I actually had a lot of stories today.
One of them I talked about
was the season of fasting and, uh,
I'm in a really good spot right now.
Don't worry.
The gains train is still going on.
I'm not cutting out foods.
But there's just some other
things that I'm getting rid of.
So anyways, again, more of a rant.
Jake wants to know her name.
Whose name?
I think it's to an earlier comment.
Okay.
All right.
I'm reading these comments.
I still like Corey's LA Gear comment.
Do you remember LA Gear?
Yeah.
Was that like, was that like,
or was that like a little, I don't know.
Cause you're a little thing
for like a year.
Yeah.
But you were, you see,
you're a little bit older.
So it was probably like
popular for the kids.
Hey Cheryl.
I'm just saying it's like
when JNCOs came out,
like that probably wasn't your thing.
You remember watch wearing,
like looking at all the kids,
like wearing these baggy
pants or like when fresh
Prince of Bel-Air was big
and like people were
wearing those like bright colored pants.
Remember that?
Yeah, I do remember that.
That was a little bit...
That would have been in college.
LA Gear would have been high
school for me.
Yeah, LA Gear.
Okay.
How about the Nike shoes
with the bubbles in the bottom?
And they said Air on the side.
Did you have any of those?
Oh, yeah.
I was Nike all day, every day,
back in the day.
I had a pair of those, too.
I had Nike, too.
When Reebok did the whole CrossFit thing,
I was like,
aren't those like grandma shoes?
Like, Reebok is now doing...
CrossFit.
Okay.
Did I ever tell you that?
Like,
so my first year at the CrossFit
games was the first year
that Reebok was sponsor.
And so when I qualified,
I was one of the first
athletes to like test all
the Reebok year.
I had the OG pair of Reebok
shoes and I fucking threw them out.
And back then I'm like, there's,
cause I wore like, you know, I, you know,
me, Scott, you know,
I like wear my shoes out.
So the toes are poking out
and that's how they were.
I'm like, Oh, Cheryl,
these shoes have got to go.
And now I'm like, why did I do that?
I actually would keep,
I would have those shoes
boxed up somewhere.
I still have all my jerseys, but like, man,
anyways, that was my last little thing.
All right.
Just, uh,
Corey's still hitting them out of
the park.
That's a good one.
That's another good one.
You wouldn't have caught me
in a starter jacket because
I knew where that was from.
I would wear Adidas, Adidas, the,
the windbreakers.
Oh,
when the Adidas windbreaker pants were
big with the stripes inside,
that was like,
that was like around the spice girls time,
you know?
And so I was like, no, I'm GMC.
Oh yeah.
Then spice girls kind of,
they kind of brought it back up.
Sporty spice, you know,
she kind of anyways.
So yeah.
Yeah.
We can talk.
Don't give them the glory run DMC.
We're doing that way before.
So it's the same thing now.
I mean,
girls are wearing jelly shoes again.
I'm like, listen,
we did that when I was younger.
The clothes that they're wearing now,
I'm like, yo, this was so 1990s.
You won't catch me in these pants again.
So what is British?
I do remember British nights.
They had their,
they had about six months
in the eighties.
Is that a music group?
no they were a shoe oh they
were really fancy like they
were all like glitzed up
and bedazzled and yeah
philip what do you know
about jelly shoes acting
like you know about jelly
shoes shoot jelly you oh
they were so gross as a
female they were so they
were like plastic so your
feet would sweat in them
really bad like it was just gross anyways
But yeah,
we could just keep going off on
talking all this stuff.
But I think we're pretty
good on your goals for this week.
I don't want to deflect from
this being a show about
Scott's weight loss journey.
But listen,
there's more to life than
weight loss at the end of the day, right?
So... We can add some... We
can zhuzh this thing up.
Yeah.
No.
I really do think that for you this week,
it's smooth sailing.
Like,
you just have to keep looking forward.
Yeah.
i do want to keep seeing
steps so I want I like I
think that's really good
for you to keep up with
that I'm trying not to look
toe jam these are good I
don't know sassoon I don't
know that company ah vidal
sassoon you know oh oh yes
they came out with a like
like an apparel line oh my
god did they really the
hair people is that was
that the commercial with
the guy with the blonde
hair like the long
yeah oh yes I remember that
I remember that oh the 90s
commercials there's a guy
that I follow on uh on
instagram like 90s for life
or something like that and
he always puts out like
hilarious 90s content he'll
have like the can of surge
like just funny stuff umbro
oh I did I was a soccer
player so I had a lot of
umbro I had a lot of umbro
Stuff, for sure.
My daughter, when she was playing soccer,
was all Umbro.
That was the brand.
I liked Adidas, too.
And Ross is quite the store
to get your cheap apparel.
Yeah, I don't really go to Ross.
I definitely would go to TJ
Maxx because that's where... Little hat,
guys.
If you guys like flavored coffee,
we're going to go back to nutrition.
You like flavored coffee.
I love the Jordan Skinny Syrups.
And they're like $9 for a bottle online.
You go into a TJ Maxx or a
HomeGoods and you go to
their like specialty food section.
They always have them there
and they're like $4.
So I will go in there and I
will buy like 10 bottles of
it and stock up.
That's it.
And they'll have the holiday flavors.
So you get the fun flavors too.
Like around the holidays,
you can get the pumpkin
flavored ones and then the
mocha and the gingerbread.
That's it.
Ross is a little, um, wow.
So here I always found that
Ross was like a little bit above TJ Maxx.
Wad zombie saying TJ Maxx is
fancier than Ross.
I would agree.
So I would agree that Ross
has a little bit more high ends.
I'm sorry.
TJ Maxx is a little high.
So I'll be honest.
I don't like going into Ross.
Ross looks like a very Ross
kind of is like Burlington to me.
I like walk in there.
I'm like, it just looks like one big,
garage sale all right our
burlington is in like the
nicest area of town well
see when you go to when you
go to tj maxx it's like
everything is like section
I feel like I'm in a
department store but I go
into ross I feel like I'm
in like I said like a like
a a big garage sale I go
into tj maxx and I'm like
oh I'm in the I don't know
I bought some nice stuff at tj maxx so
T.J.
Maxx equals Target.
Ross equals Walmart.
I guess I had it reversed.
Jeff goes to Kohl's.
Kohl's ain't the same thing, though.
Kohl's is kind of like an upscale.
Y'all remember Kmart?
Who remembers Kmart?
Kmart.
Do you guys have a Kmart out there?
Yes.
Those are long gone.
Oh my gosh.
Yeah.
What zombie says TJ Maxx has credit cards.
Ross knows it's not worth
checking their customers credit scores.
That is a good one.
Oh my God.
That's a good one.
Oh, that's a good one.
a great one no that was the
best kmart did have a great
toy section I will agree
with that so shopko I don't
know that I remember that
one but that might have
been an up north thing I
don't remember that one but
I don't remember shopko no
yeah we were so we had a
kmart where I grew up and
that was pretty much the
only place to shop yeah
And then a local department
store that nobody would have heard of.
I remember as a kid,
like if you bought your clothes at Kmart,
like you'd get made fun of.
Like you don't buy your clothes at Kmart.
Like you don't buy your shoes at Kmart.
You don't buy your clothes at Kmart.
And so like,
if my mom would bring me there, I'm like,
mom, I'm not buying my clothes here.
Sorry.
I I'd rather have like one
pair of pants from the department store,
like JC Penny, then the Kmart like,
but just, but, uh, but yeah.
So you go to like a big town to,
to get decent clothes like
Pittsburgh or Erie.
Cause where I grew up, they had,
we had nothing.
Yeah, we didn't, we, well,
I really only got to go
clothes shopping twice a week growing up.
It was like, or twice a month,
twice a year, sorry,
twice a year growing up.
I'd get new clothes around
the beginning of the school
year and usually get
something new around my,
around Christmas time.
It was like always when we
would buy clothes.
But other than that, that was it,
you know?
All right.
Well,
this has been one of our longest
shows ever.
We got to shut up.
So we're going to let
everybody head out the chat.
Awesome today.
I'm just trying to get
Kenneth back involved, back engaged.
Cause he told me this is no
longer his favorite show.
And so if he wants me to get
back to talking about
women's hormones to keep them here,
I can do that.
So I'm just saying.
my goal is just to switch
him from this show to
thursday to this show to
thursday every week yeah we
just keep elevating both
shows yeah so we'll figure
out what's got we got to
figure out what keeps him
going so but uh but yeah
Well, with that, again,
you guys in the chat on fire today,
like one of the best chat
sessions we've had in a long time.
And I guess we'll just need to riff more.
We will see everybody next
time on the Clydesdale
media weight loss journey.
Thanks everybody.
Love you.
Bye.
