What is going on, everybody?

Welcome to the Clydesdale

Media Weight Loss Show.

I have been sulking for the

last 30 minutes,

licking my wounds after my

defeat on Around the Whiteboard.

After I made it three rounds, man,

competition was tough today

and lost by a half a point.

I haven't watched this.

Oh, I think I've watched one of them,

but I got to catch up on that.

Can you explain it to me again?

So this was...

so this was the finals for

this quarter basically um

and uh what it is is three

people come on they get

three questions you give

your opinion you have 60

seconds and then 20 second

rebuttal and uh it's on

coffee pods and wads he

gives you points based on

your answer and then um the

highest points at the end

wins and moves on

So I made it three rounds.

I made it from the prelims

to the quarters to the semis.

No, sorry, prelims, semis, finals,

and then lost today in the finals.

Okay, so I have watched,

I think I've listened to a

couple of these.

So he's just assessing

points based on what he

thinks is the best answer?

Yep.

there's a show like this on ESPN.

It's been around for 20 years, um, called,

uh,

around the horn with local sports

writers.

And yeah,

so it's been around a long time

and everybody knows it's, you know,

it's whatever his opinion is.

So I tried to like,

I tried to knowing Peter,

what he would give points for, you know,

that's what I try to do.

But yeah,

Yeah.

I like, I like his show.

I like his accent.

That's what I like.

So I, I don't know.

I've always had like a thing

for the Irish accent.

So, but yeah, anyways,

Irish and Australian.

So, so we're here.

We've missed two weeks in a row, right?

That's correct.

Oh my God.

It feels like it's been

forever since we've been on the air.

You, you got to stop having things happen.

Well, I had a flat tire.

Literally, um,

that day I left the gym and I'm like,

what's going on?

And I'm like, oh,

there's a nice flat tire.

Funny story about this

before we get into you is I just read,

I just had to get a new lease.

My lease was up.

And when I got the new lease,

the guy that was selling me the car,

he was like,

do you want to pay an extra

so-and-so amount a month?

We do roadside hazard assistance.

So if you ever need anything

like a flat tire or anything,

we repair it for free.

And I'm like, listen,

I don't want an extra $15 on my lease.

I want the cheapest payment possible.

I was that girl.

And I argued with this guy for 20 minutes.

And he finally convinced me

the value and having this

extra $10 or so on my monthly lease.

Thank God,

because I didn't have to pay a

dime for the tow, for the tire,

for any of it.

So, and then last week my mother was sick.

So it's been a little bit of

a rough couple of weeks for me, but.

We're here.

It's been a rough week at

the Clydesdale Media Company.

Another co-host of mine had a parent sick.

So it's been kind of going around.

Hopefully it stops right now.

We're done.

Well,

let's talk about your wife first and

foremost.

How's she doing?

How's things with her?

so she got cortisone shots

um in her knees a couple

weeks ago a week ago a week

ago so she's able to move

around a little bit more um

but like I was telling amy

today on the round table

then she feels good and she

wants to do like a ton and

then she they hurt again

and then she's down yeah so

I'm really trying to put my

foot down and say

You don't have to do it all in one day.

Like, let's be smart about this.

The other thing that's happening is...

We switched from my

insurance to her insurance

because her insurance was

cheaper on paper,

but they have denied everything.

So now we're switching back

to my insurance.

We're in open enrollment right now,

so we can switch back and

that'll take effect July 1st.

So we just have to keep her

upright and moving in a

smart way until then.

and um the trend of people I

work with they get the knee

replacements improved or

approved okay so that's

what we're aiming at is

getting there so she can

get them approved get what

she needs and then we'll

get back to uh where we

need to be gotcha okay and

how have you been handling

everything at the house

you've been doing all the

cooking and everything still

I have been.

She's cooked like one or two meals,

but right now I'm doing all

the grocery shopping too,

so there's only so many options.

Gotcha.

That's got to be nice for

you to not have that extra

stress of having to buy

this instead of that, that kind of stuff.

Like I told you my check-in,

my nutrition is as good as

it has been ever with you.

Yeah.

I, and I would agree.

I feel like when I was

looking at your nutrition, I'm like, man,

I'm like the things I was looking for,

the fiber changes, the food changes,

like everything is like

really coming together.

And I just hope that my

biggest hope is that when

she does get back to doing

things that you're going to

be okay to say, Hey,

can we make sure we're

keeping these things in the house?

You know, like I want you to keep that

you kind of have control right now.

I don't want you to keep that control.

And it's also just something

for everybody out there to hear.

It's so important that

if you're not taking care of yourself,

you're not gonna be able to

care for others.

And it's really important to

be open with people in your

circle about your needs and

being okay with that.

And like right now,

like I think you're in the

best place ever because you

don't have that barrier of

like having to explain things.

You're like, well,

I can just go to the

grocery store and buy what

I need and cook what I need.

So it's really important

that when the family's on

board and you have that and

you can do things,

it makes it so much easier.

And what's great is she loves what I cook.

Good.

And so we're setting habits.

And so I think this is going

to be a good thing.

I gotcha.

So I'm looking back.

I know this week is...

Well,

we talked on Thursday and you had

told me that you were

having some sinus stuff,

in which case I explained,

I responded to you like,

get to the doctor because

it sounds like you have an infection.

And then you text me later

that a something by

something square foot piece of gauze.

Not square foot, thank God.

comes out of your nose and I'm like,

oh my gosh.

So have you been feeling

better since sneezing up

the leftover gauze from your surgery?

So it was a surgical sponge.

Okay.

It was a half inch by two inch rectangle.

And I sneezed and blew my

nose and it went into the tissue.

Jeez.

Since then,

breathing on that nostril has

been clearer than it's been in years.

It's been amazing.

That's crazy.

That's crazy.

Who knows how long that

thing was in there then for?

Well, my surgery was in October.

Oh my God.

It had to have been in there

since October.

That's just insane.

Well,

so I did suggest last week in our

check-in that you kind of

start dialing things in a

Uh, within, you know, your numbers,

I kind of made you,

gave you some like parameters,

185 to 205 and everything.

But when I look in your nutrition log,

I don't really see much of

anything logged since last Wednesday.

I see a little bit on Saturday,

unless you just really under eight.

So I missed a couple of days,

but I've logged everything.

pulling it up this time yeah

I just want to make sure

because I see I mean I see

saturday maybe you were

just really under on

calories but like saturday

you only logged about 1500

calories and then sunday

yes saturday was a full day

I logged it all and sunday

as well you again only

logged about yeah calories

what happens like and I

know this probably isn't I

get up very late okay

Um,

and so it compresses like how much time

I have to eat.

And so the weekends are

harder for me than weekdays.

Okay.

That makes sense.

As long as I wasn't missing food,

like you just under ate a little bit.

I mean, at the end of the day,

your protein was still pretty good.

You were just under on carbs

for the most part.

But then, yeah, like you said, Monday,

you'd nailed it.

Monday looks really good.

Your food looks great.

And then we're here at

Tuesday and so far you've

got everything but dinner log so far.

So things are looking really good.

How's your appetite been?

Um, I think just, just right.

Like I just had some strawberries.

Oh my gosh.

They're actually good right now.

Yeah.

It was so good.

I just had them right before

we went on the air.

Ours were,

but I wouldn't get one free

right now at Publix.

Ours were a dollar a quart.

Oh, that's good.

Yeah.

I don't, do ours come in a quart?

Is it like a rectangle?

Yeah.

It's the smallest.

Oh yeah.

So I don't know.

Um, so that's,

so your food's been

definitely a huge improvement.

I just want to check in on, on things.

Like I said, I know you missed,

it looks like you missed Thursday,

Friday.

And then, like I said,

Saturday and Sunday just

looked like it was really under.

So, uh, weight trends are looking down.

That's going down.

Um, so everything there is good.

And I just want to double

check any other notes that

I gave you for last week to

fill listeners on.

Well, I do have super exciting news.

I had my physical checkup

since we last talked with

updated numbers.

And I'm going to share my

screen from my app.

Here we go.

So this is my A1C.

So when I was in the ICU, my A1C was 10.8.

When I was checked May 13th, it was 7.3.

And A1C is a three-month average.

So that includes like that

reading back in February

all the way to today.

So we are on a downward trend with A1C.

That's awesome.

In a very cool way.

And you're still on medication, right?

I am.

I am.

But we have a plan.

The doctor and I have a plan.

Yeah.

And then these are my

cholesterol and triglycerides.

And you can see they're all in the greens.

The only thing that's a

little bit off is my good

cholesterol is a hair low.

Okay.

So it's at 38.

They wanted at least 40.

So I started back with fish oils.

Good.

to try to get that up a little bit.

So yeah.

You can also do grass fed beef,

omega-3 in pasture raised eggs, salmon,

cold wild caught salmon, also good.

All that stuff will bring up that as well.

And then my blood pressure was 112 over 70,

which is as good as it's

been in a very long time.

Gotcha.

Gotcha.

All really, really good stuff.

Lex asks about progress photos.

Those are due by check-in on Thursday.

Yeah,

I messaged you about putting those

photos in.

I love photos more than weight.

And I love this stuff,

like you just mentioned, the A1C.

This stuff is also more

important than just one specific number.

People should be focusing on

all the areas.

Heidi wants naked photos.

Oh, man, that's hilarious.

But no,

I think that photos are much better

to kind of tell how a

person's changing overall

is to be able to assess changes.

What I love the most is the blood numbers.

Yeah.

Like that.

Because I know from past experience,

when all those are in good shape,

then everything starts lining up.

Everything starts happening better.

And I feel better than I

felt in a long time.

You sound like energy's better.

Everything sounds better.

I mean,

and I know you're in a busy season

with the podcast,

but I think your energy in

general has just, I don't know.

I can tell a difference with you for sure.

So it's, it's night and day.

I,

I've been getting up like an hour early

and just doing stuff around the house,

just kind of setting my day.

And that usually I was,

because I work from home

like 15 minutes before I have to work,

rolling out of bed,

logging onto my computer.

Now I'm up about an hour ahead.

Yeah.

A cup of coffee, enjoy the morning.

Oh, my gosh.

Who is this guy?

I know.

I mean, like, but this goes to show you,

though,

I'm thinking back to because your

wife's little patch right

now isn't the first hard patch we've hit.

Right.

Last October, before all this happened,

you were going through some

rocky stuff and likely still are.

We just haven't really

talked much about it with

Julie's family and your own family,

with your mother.

And I mean, and I know that people

I feel like there's so much

of this like divide between

physical and mental health,

but I honestly think even

the way that that was affecting you,

might've even been more physical too.

Like you were honestly

feeling physically sick and

didn't even realize it and

likely were like, God,

like I'm in the dumps.

And you were probably in the

dumps about the situation,

but we're just assuming you

were in the dumps and there

was actually something

going on that you were not even aware of.

And it took you about three

months to finally get your

ass in the hospital and figure things out,

right?

And then another three

months for me to blow

something out of my nose.

Yes, that's just crazy.

That's crazy.

I mean, did you call the doctor and like,

hey, you know,

you left a piece of sponge up in my nose?

Because I would have.

I called somebody else and

they advised me not to call the doctor.

I would have called.

I would have been like.

I called an attorney.

Did you?

That's definitely what I

called somebody like that for sure.

Yeah.

So we're going to wait and

see what they find out.

Okay.

All right.

How about the gym?

Have you been getting into the gym,

working out at home?

So we're still down to one car.

So the majority of my

workouts are in the garage,

but it's been 80 degrees here.

So it's been awesome.

If there wasn't cottonwood in the air, um,

yesterday I was gagging on that, but, um,

I got a good workout in, um, I'm God,

I'm just really excited

about how things are going.

Yeah.

Good.

Um, I wish I could,

I was talking to somebody

earlier about this.

I actually think I was

talking to my podcast about this is like,

you guys in the winter time

hate working out in your garage.

So cold.

It's so cold right now.

It's like you literally, you walk outside,

you're in a sauna and it's just,

it's only May.

It's just, just going to get worse.

It's going to get worse.

I'm still,

I worked out at around 1230 and

my sports bra still does not feel good.

So I'm going to shower after this guys.

Don't worry.

I'm going to take a shower.

So

So Jake,

you may not be aware that one

Colton kicked my ass just a

half an hour ago.

So stop putting salt in the wound.

There is a tree in here in

Ohio called cotton wood.

And when it blooms,

it drops like puff balls.

And so we have one in my

neighbor has one in their backyard and it,

it literally looks like it

snowed in my backyard.

Um, and so, and I, that I am allergic to.

Hmm.

Interesting.

So Judy,

I am doing the same workout as Polaris.

I did not do that yesterday

because I was jonesing to

throw a sandbag around.

So I just I made up a

sandbag workout for me to

do because I just was I

wanted to throw it around.

Yeah.

I've been getting on my

sandbag a little bit more lately too.

Now that my body's getting

back to like not having injuries anymore,

like I'm almost like all healed up.

It's been nice to be able to

throw that thing around and

not be afraid of hurting myself anymore.

So it's been good.

Um, okay.

So all blood biomarkers are

on the up nutrition's on

the up weight is on the down.

You are getting photos over

to me this week.

So we'll have some things to look at.

Um, anything going on this weekend routine,

not traveling, right?

No semi-final stuff.

So Friday is my anniversary.

Ooh, 27 years.

That's how,

where are you guys going to go?

You know?

Uh,

we haven't decided yet because my wife

can't walk a lot.

So we have to figure out

like someplace to go and

enjoy the day where she,

where we can be okay.

Gotcha.

So you guys, are you off that day?

Uh, yeah, Monday.

Well, we're it's Friday.

Okay.

We're going to do it Monday.

Okay.

God,

it's already going to be Memorial Day.

It's crazy.

It's crazy, man.

I feel like this past couple weeks,

like you said,

it's been a time warp for me.

So, well, that's awesome.

So you're going to go do

something on Monday, not on Friday.

Correct.

We're going to go to dinner

on Friday night,

but do like a day activity on Monday.

Okay.

I gotcha.

All right, cool.

Well, that'll be nice.

So obviously that's where

I'm like memories over macros, right?

Like

Enjoy your dinner with your wife.

Yeah.

Yeah.

So there's a Chinese restaurant in town.

That's, I don't even know how to,

it's not your typical Chinese.

Like it's like all white meat,

chicken breast.

When they do a chicken dish, it's, um,

and it's her favorite.

So we're going to, uh, go there.

Yeah.

It'll be easy to, to eat well.

Cause I can get a chicken

dish with some vegetables,

not a ton of sauce.

Yep.

Yeah,

it's funny because people often don't

realize that Chinese restaurants,

if you're in a pinch,

can actually be one of the

healthiest places and the

cheapest places to get

healthy food because...

you can actually,

not that I would recommend

doing this on your date night,

but if you wanted to,

you can order everything

steamed with the sauce on

the side and they won't fry

anything in oil.

So you get all just chicken

and vegetables and rice plain.

And then you can add,

you can get the sauce on

the side and then you can

control everything.

So a little hack.

And then there's pretty much

a Chinese restaurant anywhere you go.

Yeah.

And this restaurant will do

anything to order.

Yeah.

That's awesome.

So, uh,

wide zombie says not your typical

Chinese.

That's also Judy Reed's nickname.

That's funny.

That's funny.

So, um, yeah, I feel like this week, man,

you got a lot of good reports.

So now with all of that,

when do you have to see

your doctor again?

So because of insurance,

I can't go for three months,

but that's already set up.

And then cardiology is in July.

Okay.

So things are all in the up.

Yeah.

So I still have a couple

months off before I have to go back.

Awesome.

Awesome.

The game plan with the

insulin is that if I can

hold under 110 blood sugar

for five days to decrease

the units by two,

and if I can hold it for three more days,

another two,

and then trying to get off of

that insulin.

Awesome.

I love that.

And so maybe it's three months.

Sounds like it's so far away,

but it's 12 weeks.

It goes so fast.

It really does.

It is.

So, but so, okay.

So you're not, so you're not traveling.

Are you going to Knoxville?

So I wasn't going to go,

but I found a super, super cheap hotel.

And if,

if we get our car back and Julie is okay,

I'm, I think I'm going.

Awesome.

Well, look at that.

You're just going to go for the weekend.

Yeah.

Cool.

How much is it?

You're going to drive?

Yeah.

It's six hours.

Okay.

That's not too bad.

No, that's not too bad.

Well, cool.

So that won't be until next

weekend though.

This weekend's correct.

Yeah.

There are some ifs in there

that we still have to figure out.

I gotcha.

I gotcha.

Um, what's a little red bull on your right,

Scott.

So it,

this is what I had my strawberries in.

Yeah.

But it's a,

it's actually like a Santa dish.

My wife likes to eat out of,

and so I just grabbed it to

put the strawberries.

Very seasonal.

Yeah.

Awesome.

Um, yeah.

I mean, I feel like right now we're in a,

a really good place.

So I feel like this week is all about,

honestly,

I'm glad that you didn't get

sick after that.

Cause I was all, I was worried about,

I'm glad that you had your checkup.

Cause what was the person's like,

you got to make sure you go

to the doctor.

Cause your blood sugar is going to spike.

You know,

people don't realize how much infection.

And so that spikes your blood sugar.

I'm like, don't get yourself being honest.

If it's been in there since October.

Yeah.

I truly feel it's what

caused the AFib because the

AFib clinic said it was the

chest infection.

If that's been in there and

caused an infection that

spread to my lungs,

it could be what caused the AFib.

Oh, wow.

Yeah.

Whole series of events, man.

It's crazy.

All right.

So this week,

I think the main thing that I

want from you

is a food diary,

making sure that you're not

missing that out.

Because I know that last

week I was just looking to

kind of get you a little

bit more optimized in your ranges.

But I think that obviously

you just really had

Thursday and Friday where

you didn't track anything.

Were those just kind of like

days you just probably were

just routine and just forgot to track?

I was routine.

Those were days that I did a

shit ton of interviews.

Okay.

Yeah, that makes sense.

You've been doing a lot of interviews,

like back-to-back a lot.

So good, good stuff.

It's probably getting more

eyes on the podcast, which is good.

So what about getting back into the gym?

So as soon as we get another

car or I can get Julie back

to work where I can take her,

I'm going to go on those days.

Okay.

But the one thing we didn't

mention is I got a Ninja Creamy.

You have been flaunting that

in front of my face for six

months and I finally got one.

Because I literally,

I can't believe we haven't

had a podcast in two weeks

and I feel like, oh my gosh, yes.

So I am very curious.

I know you mentioned the black cherry.

You're trying out some different things.

Have you mastered your base yet?

Because that's the first part.

Yes, I have the right consistency now.

Okay.

That's the first part is you gotta,

you gotta get the base down, man.

I jacked up the black cherry.

It was so bad last night.

So what did you end up doing?

I,

so I found a black cherry extract to go

in with the black cherries

and it made it bitter.

Oh yeah.

So I made a new base tonight

with no extract,

just the frozen black cherries.

And, um,

I put in the Fairlife protein as my base.

And then the sugar-free

confectioner's sugar.

My favorite.

And some vanilla jello sugar-free pudding.

And that's sitting right now

to be the base to spend tonight.

So here's the tip for you

for your black cherry.

Rather than using black cherry extract,

what you can do is buy the

black cherry Jell-O mix too

and put a little bit of

that in and it won't make it bitter.

So I didn't put any extract in this base.

Okay.

But what I was saying is

because you tried the

extract and jacked it up.

If this base doesn't work, try getting the,

so do your vanilla,

but also get the black

cherry jello and add a

little bit of that in.

And then you'll get that

black cherry flavor without

the bitterness.

So that's another hack.

Man, Jell-O.

Growing up, I remember making Jell-O.

Never did I think I was

going to be using Jell-O

like I am in my adult life

in these different ninja cream recipes.

That stuff makes everything.

It's awesome.

And I asked you,

what happens if I put the

black cherries in as the

base or as a mix in?

If it's in as the base, it chops them up.

Yeah, that's what I was saying.

I think if you want it chunky,

you could do the mix-ins.

So I did a little bit of

both last night because I

wanted a little chunky,

but I wanted it kind of

spread throughout.

But then the bitterness was just too bad.

Yeah.

And yes, Heidi, all sugar-free.

Yeah.

And then people can – you

can do like the – like I almost got –

the different jello flavors,

they have like banana cream, pistachio.

Um,

I sent you that butter pecan one that I

haven't tried yet,

but I even found online,

you can get sugar-free candied pecans.

And so you're getting a

little bit less of the

calories from the sugar.

Um, and that would be like a really good,

like mix in for like the

butter pecan ice cream.

So I did get those pecans.

They just came.

Yeah.

That's awesome.

That might be a try this weekend.

Yeah.

It makes it so easy to get

your protein in at nighttime.

Yep.

Because it's, it is a bunch of protein.

Great treat.

Yeah.

I like it.

I'm pretty simple.

I like I get I know you're

like not a birthday cake person,

but I like using the

birthday cake extract.

And I do the vanilla or I do cheesecake.

I like the cheesecake flavor

to those ones are like my favorite.

So

I also like making a cookies

and cream and I'll buy the

Oreo thins or I'll buy the

Lenny and Larry's Oreo creams.

They look like Oreos,

but they're like a little bit healthier.

They have more fiber in them.

And I'll put a couple of

those in as mix-ins,

make a cookies and cream.

So I tried making one for my mom and just,

my mom is very much a

purist with ice cream.

She's like, she likes the full stuff.

So she was like, this is not ice cream.

The ones that came out good,

like I couldn't tell the difference.

Yeah.

yeah and with the ghost

protein you you suggested

to me yeah like the flavors

are freaking awesome like I

know the nutter butter

butter flavor is like put

that in your coffee it's

awesome I'll try that I'll

try that tomorrow morning

yeah put in your coffee

it's good I like that so okay but um

But yeah, Jake's having ice cream tonight.

You can literally make ice

cream for dinner now with

the Ninja Creamy.

So it's funny though.

The only thing I use it for is, I mean,

there's all these different

settings on it.

All I ever use is the light ice cream one.

I would like to maybe try

and make like a smoothie

bowl or something, but I just never do.

Yeah.

I'd like to try the,

cause you can make milkshakes in it.

Yep.

Like I could make a protein

milkshake or like, yeah,

it'd be really good.

And then you can make slushies.

Yep.

Or adult beverages,

whichever you're in the mood for.

Yeah, I know.

It's crazy all the things you can make.

But yeah,

I'm excited to see all of the

experimental things you do.

I love following... I can

never say his name right.

Zach Rushlow, whatever his last name is.

Flexible Dieting Lifestyle.

He's got so many fun recipes

and Ninja Creamy.

But little hack is...

he always tries to sell you

his flex brand protein his

flex brand cookie butters

and they're like 20 for his

powdered peanut butter just

get regular powdered peanut

butter they sell different

flavors on amazon so that's

what I do it's way cheaper

so jay birch asks what's

ghost protein so you know

ghost the energy drink what

I didn't know is it's a

full supplement company

yeah they have protein powders too

Yeah,

they have like flavored protein and

it is really, really good.

Yeah, it's delicious.

And I like my first form.

I'm usually all first form,

but I like the flavors that Ghost has,

like the Chips Ahoy, the Oreo.

I still, I just, I'm sorry.

I can't say it enough.

Back in the day, Progenix, man,

like you just couldn't beat.

If I had Progenix cookies

and cream right now in that Ninja Creamy,

oh my God, like that would be insane.

Yeah.

Well, and I like first form stuff too.

Yeah.

It takes like a week to get to me.

Yeah, that's true.

Where the ghost protein I

could get overnight on Amazon.

Yeah, for sure.

Phillip remembers, you know, it's funny.

I saw somebody at the gym

and they were wearing a progenic shirt.

I'm like, Ooh,

that guy's been around here

for a long time.

So it was pretty funny.

But, um, but yeah, awesome.

Um, so I feel like this week,

I feel like we're in a good spot.

You're like doing all the things.

This is what I would like to call, um,

boring work that gets the

work done like I think

people want the exciting

stuff but nutrition at the

end of the day you should

fall into a routine like it

should end up becoming to

where it's just like

automated.

And this is the exciting stuff.

We're adding new things.

It's funny because I'm

creating a guide right now for people.

Because I'm not a recipe girl.

I have a few recipes,

but for the most part,

I know you saw I put out a recipe book.

I'm working on getting more recipes.

But this concept of people

go on diets and they remove everything,

but they don't replace them.

I'm like, if you like ice cream,

the Ninja Creamy can be a

great addition to your kitchen.

Now you can have ice cream

every single night.

And every once in a while

you go out for the real thing.

But this is the stuff that

people need to think about

when they're going on their journey.

It's exciting for the first

couple of weeks, but in a month from now,

you're going to be like,

I Ninja Creamy every night.

That's what I do.

I Ninja Creamy and chill.

So yeah.

I do not have a plunge pool.

Maybe that's what you can do

with your backyard.

By the way, how is your backyard coming?

So I got all the plants are set to,

to plant vegetables right now.

And I bought the vegetables.

I just got to plant them.

Um, so tomatoes, cucumbers, peppers, uh,

we're going to plant all those.

Awesome.

You can have some fresh veggies and, uh,

and then again,

it's my piddle project for the summer.

Love it.

Slow and easy.

Work at it how I can.

Cause with the way my wife's been,

I haven't been able to pay

a ton of attention,

but I did want to get those

planners in so I could.

Yeah.

To get the vegetables in.

It's funny.

Last week I was out of town.

My mom has not been doing very well.

And on Thursday when I was driving home,

I'm like,

I'm not going to stop at the

grocery store.

I'm going to Instacart.

And I try not to Instacart

because it's so fricking expensive.

I'm like, this is ridiculous.

I'm paying $7 for $50 for the groceries.

Anyways, when I get home,

There was a basil plant in my groceries.

I'm like, did I order a basil plant?

Nope,

but somebody delivered me a basil plant.

So now I've got this random

plant of basil that

somebody ordered and didn't get,

but now it's sitting on my

kitchen counter.

I'm like, I guess I'm growing basil now.

Yeah,

we got a package of wheat flour last

time we Instacarted that we

did not order.

Which is crazy.

I was missing my English

muffins and I got a basil plant instead.

So just not, whatever, but-

Don't you,

don't you cook Italian for the

family occasionally?

I do.

Yes, I do.

So in fact, my mother's here right now.

She's staying with me for this week.

And so I think I'm actually

going to make a tomato sauce tomorrow,

which I haven't done in years.

And so fresh basil.

I do.

We'll see how it goes.

Cause she loves Italian.

So we'll see.

All right, guys.

Bob, it's been a good week.

Glad to be back.

We will see everybody next

time on Slidesdale Media

Weight Loss Journey.

Have a great week, everybody.
