You know I did a 3 00:00:28,280 --> 00:00:33,600 Speaker 1: lot of good work and getting ahead for my trip away. 4 00:00:34,280 --> 00:00:36,479 Speaker 1: If I've been following along on social or listening to 5 00:00:36,520 --> 00:00:40,840 Speaker 1: the show, then you may know that I am actually 6 00:00:40,920 --> 00:00:45,840 Speaker 1: leaving Paris today to head back to well toward home. 7 00:00:45,880 --> 00:00:50,599 Speaker 1: I'm coming to Chicago for the marathon, not to run it, 8 00:00:50,760 --> 00:00:55,480 Speaker 1: but to host a live podcast in the morning on 9 00:00:55,600 --> 00:00:59,520 Speaker 1: Saturday with Tracksmith. It is sold out. However, the next 10 00:00:59,520 --> 00:01:02,120 Speaker 1: thing on my list after getting this episode into the 11 00:01:02,200 --> 00:01:05,080 Speaker 1: queue for you who is figuring out where the post 12 00:01:05,319 --> 00:01:08,600 Speaker 1: podcast Hurdle meetup is going to be, because I know 13 00:01:08,600 --> 00:01:10,400 Speaker 1: that there are a few people that wanted to get 14 00:01:10,400 --> 00:01:13,560 Speaker 1: in that didn't get tickets. So stay tuned and make 15 00:01:13,560 --> 00:01:16,720 Speaker 1: sure you check in over on my Instagram at Emily 16 00:01:16,800 --> 00:01:19,240 Speaker 1: A Body. If you want to get in and hang 17 00:01:19,280 --> 00:01:21,399 Speaker 1: with some hurdlers, I will keep you posted. It'll be 18 00:01:21,480 --> 00:01:23,839 Speaker 1: probably around like ten thirty in the morning or so 19 00:01:24,400 --> 00:01:27,959 Speaker 1: in Chicago, not far from where the podcast is at 20 00:01:28,080 --> 00:01:33,200 Speaker 1: Chicago Athletic Association. Anyway, like I was saying, I did 21 00:01:33,360 --> 00:01:37,360 Speaker 1: a pretty stellar job of getting ahead with the show 22 00:01:37,520 --> 00:01:41,640 Speaker 1: so that I could make sure to just be really 23 00:01:41,680 --> 00:01:46,759 Speaker 1: present while I was traveling a little more background. I 24 00:01:46,840 --> 00:01:50,160 Speaker 1: decided to take this trip not just to Paris. It 25 00:01:50,320 --> 00:01:55,000 Speaker 1: started in Milan and then I went to Florence. I 26 00:01:55,040 --> 00:01:58,640 Speaker 1: did a day trip Akai, rented my first car internationally, 27 00:01:58,720 --> 00:02:01,760 Speaker 1: and drove to Cortona, which is where they filmed under 28 00:02:01,800 --> 00:02:06,320 Speaker 1: the Tuscan sun. I sabered a bottle champagne, and then 29 00:02:07,240 --> 00:02:11,040 Speaker 1: I loved Florence for Paris. I've been in Paris for 30 00:02:11,680 --> 00:02:14,160 Speaker 1: a few days now, since Tuesday. If you're listening to 31 00:02:14,240 --> 00:02:20,760 Speaker 1: this on Friday, October eighth, and yeah, that's kind of 32 00:02:20,760 --> 00:02:22,799 Speaker 1: the gist of it. And I did that because again, 33 00:02:23,080 --> 00:02:25,040 Speaker 1: even following on at home, which I know you have, 34 00:02:26,040 --> 00:02:29,639 Speaker 1: I pulled an audible on going to London when I 35 00:02:29,680 --> 00:02:33,800 Speaker 1: started to feel a nagging pain in my hip area 36 00:02:34,080 --> 00:02:38,760 Speaker 1: abdomen area, knowing that running that marathon would not serve 37 00:02:38,840 --> 00:02:41,079 Speaker 1: me and could put me at risk for more injury, 38 00:02:42,360 --> 00:02:45,320 Speaker 1: and I decided to go to Italy instead. Okay, now 39 00:02:45,360 --> 00:02:48,720 Speaker 1: you are all cut up to speed well today for 40 00:02:48,919 --> 00:02:52,359 Speaker 1: five minute Friday. I strategically wanted to record this episode 41 00:02:52,480 --> 00:02:56,280 Speaker 1: while I was away because I wanted to kind of 42 00:02:56,360 --> 00:02:59,880 Speaker 1: have a post mortem even though it's sad because you 43 00:02:59,919 --> 00:03:02,440 Speaker 1: know it's not technically over yet, but it's over for 44 00:03:02,480 --> 00:03:05,200 Speaker 1: the sake of me leaving your by the time the 45 00:03:05,240 --> 00:03:09,079 Speaker 1: next episode of Hurdle comes out. The thing about traveling solo, 46 00:03:09,160 --> 00:03:11,680 Speaker 1: and I get so many messages about this when I 47 00:03:11,760 --> 00:03:15,680 Speaker 1: do it rightfully so because it's really not something that 48 00:03:15,800 --> 00:03:18,280 Speaker 1: a lot of people will do in their life. And 49 00:03:18,840 --> 00:03:22,080 Speaker 1: I don't say that to shade anyone, so to speak, 50 00:03:22,120 --> 00:03:26,160 Speaker 1: but a lot of people will never desire or maybe 51 00:03:26,360 --> 00:03:31,519 Speaker 1: feel as though they need to travel alone. Maybe these 52 00:03:31,560 --> 00:03:34,120 Speaker 1: are the kind of individuals who have always been in 53 00:03:34,160 --> 00:03:36,720 Speaker 1: some sort of substantial relationship. I'm sure that has something 54 00:03:36,760 --> 00:03:38,280 Speaker 1: to do with it. They could be married, they could 55 00:03:38,320 --> 00:03:42,880 Speaker 1: have kids, or maybe it's just not something that interests them. 56 00:03:42,960 --> 00:03:45,960 Speaker 1: And I would argue that solo travel is something that 57 00:03:46,480 --> 00:03:51,760 Speaker 1: may not interest someone because maybe they're scared. Maybe they 58 00:03:51,760 --> 00:03:56,240 Speaker 1: don't see how it could be enjoyable to be taking 59 00:03:56,320 --> 00:04:00,800 Speaker 1: on a different place completely alone, thinking about what it's 60 00:04:00,840 --> 00:04:03,880 Speaker 1: like to go to dinner alone or to walk around 61 00:04:03,960 --> 00:04:07,640 Speaker 1: constantly alone. And I think the first time I opened 62 00:04:07,680 --> 00:04:10,440 Speaker 1: myself up to solo travel, I remember I had an 63 00:04:10,480 --> 00:04:14,280 Speaker 1: old girlfriend, like six seven years ago. We met doing CrossFit, 64 00:04:14,840 --> 00:04:18,720 Speaker 1: and she went on like a two or three week trip. 65 00:04:19,080 --> 00:04:20,440 Speaker 1: I think it was like at least three weeks. What 66 00:04:20,520 --> 00:04:24,080 Speaker 1: am I kidding to I want to say, Thailand. And 67 00:04:24,120 --> 00:04:25,680 Speaker 1: she lived on her own in New York, and so 68 00:04:25,760 --> 00:04:28,760 Speaker 1: did I. I had newly I think at the time, 69 00:04:28,880 --> 00:04:33,120 Speaker 1: moved into my first studio apartment actually, and I remember 70 00:04:33,400 --> 00:04:37,360 Speaker 1: being so mystified by the fact that she was interested 71 00:04:37,600 --> 00:04:44,600 Speaker 1: in going across the world by herself. And she said 72 00:04:44,600 --> 00:04:47,240 Speaker 1: to me when she got back, well, I mean I 73 00:04:47,320 --> 00:04:51,360 Speaker 1: already lived by myself, so why not go see something 74 00:04:51,400 --> 00:04:52,159 Speaker 1: I want to see? 75 00:04:52,680 --> 00:04:52,880 Speaker 2: Right? 76 00:04:54,160 --> 00:04:57,240 Speaker 1: And I mean I had a moment there. Hearing that 77 00:04:57,320 --> 00:05:00,279 Speaker 1: was a big unlock for me, right, because at the 78 00:05:00,360 --> 00:05:03,240 Speaker 1: time I didn't realize just how much I was already 79 00:05:03,279 --> 00:05:08,280 Speaker 1: doing on my own while living alone. And the reality 80 00:05:09,440 --> 00:05:12,600 Speaker 1: is that just because I lived alone at that time, 81 00:05:12,640 --> 00:05:15,240 Speaker 1: it didn't mean that I was super comfortable spending this 82 00:05:15,279 --> 00:05:17,680 Speaker 1: time by myself. And hearing her say it in that 83 00:05:18,320 --> 00:05:22,120 Speaker 1: way it kind of encouraged me to want to go 84 00:05:22,160 --> 00:05:24,120 Speaker 1: outside of my comfort zone. Now. It was a few 85 00:05:24,160 --> 00:05:27,360 Speaker 1: years still until I pulled the plug on my first 86 00:05:27,400 --> 00:05:30,719 Speaker 1: solo trip. That was back in twenty eighteen in March 87 00:05:31,720 --> 00:05:35,960 Speaker 1: to Italy as well. But it kind of opened the door, 88 00:05:36,120 --> 00:05:40,680 Speaker 1: like the door was cracked open, right. And I tell 89 00:05:40,680 --> 00:05:44,359 Speaker 1: you this story today because on my second trip across 90 00:05:44,440 --> 00:05:47,360 Speaker 1: the world on my own, what I've been able to 91 00:05:47,520 --> 00:05:51,240 Speaker 1: articulate about what this kind of experience means to me 92 00:05:52,080 --> 00:05:55,599 Speaker 1: is well, I mean, how do I say this? It's 93 00:05:55,640 --> 00:06:01,480 Speaker 1: courage right, It's courageous in my mind, traveling alone is courageous. 94 00:06:01,520 --> 00:06:03,880 Speaker 1: And it's also an opportunity to come back to my 95 00:06:04,000 --> 00:06:08,919 Speaker 1: inner voice and refocus on my insides without distraction. You know, 96 00:06:09,720 --> 00:06:11,680 Speaker 1: I feel like I want to ask you what would 97 00:06:11,760 --> 00:06:15,440 Speaker 1: you do if you were the only factor? Again, what 98 00:06:15,480 --> 00:06:18,320 Speaker 1: would you do if you were the only factor, if 99 00:06:18,320 --> 00:06:23,320 Speaker 1: your decisions were based purely on what was in your 100 00:06:23,400 --> 00:06:27,520 Speaker 1: heart and not impacted by others? Now? Every day, I mean, 101 00:06:27,560 --> 00:06:30,239 Speaker 1: think about it. We are so influenced by peer pressure 102 00:06:30,320 --> 00:06:35,440 Speaker 1: and family obligation and Instagram people that you were romantic 103 00:06:35,520 --> 00:06:37,680 Speaker 1: with past or previous Oh my god, the past ones 104 00:06:37,760 --> 00:06:42,039 Speaker 1: lately have been tearing me up. Like we're impacted by 105 00:06:42,440 --> 00:06:46,359 Speaker 1: bosses and just other people needing our input and our inbox, 106 00:06:46,440 --> 00:06:50,360 Speaker 1: and I mean the list goes on. So what would 107 00:06:50,440 --> 00:06:54,479 Speaker 1: you do if you had the opportunity and I'll use 108 00:06:54,520 --> 00:06:59,640 Speaker 1: the opportunity strategic here, the word opportunity. What would you 109 00:06:59,720 --> 00:07:03,599 Speaker 1: do if you could silence that lingering acquisition about how 110 00:07:03,640 --> 00:07:09,040 Speaker 1: things should be? Yeah? I know it's kind of crazy, right, 111 00:07:09,040 --> 00:07:11,320 Speaker 1: because how often in our lives do we have an 112 00:07:11,400 --> 00:07:16,400 Speaker 1: opportunity to do that. Solo travel brings me back to me. 113 00:07:16,640 --> 00:07:21,880 Speaker 1: It helps me walk away from the lingering inferiority complex 114 00:07:21,920 --> 00:07:23,880 Speaker 1: that I have in my day to day despite being 115 00:07:23,920 --> 00:07:27,160 Speaker 1: so confident in who I am, because this is human nature. 116 00:07:28,360 --> 00:07:30,480 Speaker 1: There's for me when I travel, I don't have an 117 00:07:30,520 --> 00:07:34,960 Speaker 1: international data plan. I'm literally wandering foreign streets without Wi Fi. 118 00:07:35,360 --> 00:07:39,400 Speaker 1: I am in a place exploring on my own, just me, 119 00:07:39,720 --> 00:07:43,880 Speaker 1: my thoughts and I and my heart. It's kind of 120 00:07:43,880 --> 00:07:46,360 Speaker 1: funny because it reminds me of running a marathon at times, right, 121 00:07:46,400 --> 00:07:48,960 Speaker 1: I mean you have to do a similar internal audit, 122 00:07:49,040 --> 00:07:52,680 Speaker 1: like a deep dive of self to go after a 123 00:07:52,720 --> 00:07:56,280 Speaker 1: goal of that proportion, especially, I mean when the race 124 00:07:56,320 --> 00:07:59,160 Speaker 1: starts and the gun goes off and the result is 125 00:07:59,320 --> 00:08:02,360 Speaker 1: entirely up to the runner as an individual, and it 126 00:08:02,440 --> 00:08:05,200 Speaker 1: is such a It's a love letter, right, It's a 127 00:08:05,240 --> 00:08:09,840 Speaker 1: love letter of self rooted and determination. And you're working 128 00:08:09,880 --> 00:08:13,560 Speaker 1: on you know, overcoming the hurdles of hurt in your past, 129 00:08:13,640 --> 00:08:16,440 Speaker 1: and you're writing it with all of this grit and 130 00:08:17,000 --> 00:08:20,800 Speaker 1: it's just you out there, it's just me out here. 131 00:08:21,720 --> 00:08:24,440 Speaker 1: And for me, like, I go back to this word 132 00:08:24,520 --> 00:08:29,080 Speaker 1: courage again, right, because it's so courageous to be willing 133 00:08:29,120 --> 00:08:31,880 Speaker 1: to do that level of self inquiry. It is so 134 00:08:32,080 --> 00:08:35,520 Speaker 1: courageous not only to do that inquiry, but then to 135 00:08:35,600 --> 00:08:38,560 Speaker 1: deal with the external feedback that you may get from 136 00:08:38,559 --> 00:08:40,920 Speaker 1: people you don't know in this new place, right, I'm 137 00:08:40,960 --> 00:08:45,200 Speaker 1: talking about every single host or waitress that greets me 138 00:08:45,280 --> 00:08:47,280 Speaker 1: when I go to sit down at a restaurant says 139 00:08:47,280 --> 00:08:52,520 Speaker 1: the exact same thing, Oh, it's just you. And I 140 00:08:52,600 --> 00:08:55,360 Speaker 1: realize on this trip that the first time around, like 141 00:08:55,440 --> 00:08:57,440 Speaker 1: that felt like kind of like a bullet. Every time 142 00:08:57,440 --> 00:09:03,160 Speaker 1: someone asked me that this time I'm around, I'm like, yeah, mother, okay, 143 00:09:03,200 --> 00:09:05,280 Speaker 1: I'm not gonna swear, and I don't want to cuss 144 00:09:05,280 --> 00:09:07,560 Speaker 1: at them when they say this to me, but yeah, 145 00:09:07,559 --> 00:09:11,680 Speaker 1: it's just me. It's just me, And like, how lucky 146 00:09:11,760 --> 00:09:14,160 Speaker 1: am I that it's just me? And sometimes they see 147 00:09:14,160 --> 00:09:16,439 Speaker 1: the wheels in their head and they're turning and they 148 00:09:16,440 --> 00:09:18,640 Speaker 1: start to wonder, like why is it just her? What 149 00:09:18,720 --> 00:09:23,720 Speaker 1: is she doing? Is she okay? Etcetera, etcetera, etcetera. Ah, man, 150 00:09:25,120 --> 00:09:31,360 Speaker 1: it's courageous. It's so special for me to have this chance. 151 00:09:32,040 --> 00:09:34,600 Speaker 1: And that doesn't mean that every single moment when I'm 152 00:09:34,640 --> 00:09:37,839 Speaker 1: traveling alone is like absolutely roses, although I'm sure a 153 00:09:37,840 --> 00:09:40,000 Speaker 1: little bit of Instagram makes it look that way. But 154 00:09:41,360 --> 00:09:45,000 Speaker 1: you gotta take the bad with the good. It's like 155 00:09:45,320 --> 00:09:49,360 Speaker 1: what Karen said last week, right, without knowing grief, there 156 00:09:49,440 --> 00:09:53,760 Speaker 1: is no joy, and without experiencing pain, we wouldn't truly 157 00:09:53,920 --> 00:09:58,400 Speaker 1: appreciate love. Now, I recognize that not everyone again will 158 00:09:58,520 --> 00:10:02,360 Speaker 1: choose to travel alone in they're life, But the point 159 00:10:02,360 --> 00:10:05,200 Speaker 1: that I'm getting to here is that I really hope 160 00:10:05,200 --> 00:10:07,280 Speaker 1: that you find the thing that enables you to feel 161 00:10:07,440 --> 00:10:12,880 Speaker 1: this purely, this uninhibited, this without worry of what other 162 00:10:12,960 --> 00:10:16,960 Speaker 1: people think. I want you to be able to take 163 00:10:17,280 --> 00:10:20,199 Speaker 1: the kind of breath that literally reverberates in like your 164 00:10:20,320 --> 00:10:24,720 Speaker 1: lower tummy. You feel deep in your soul because you 165 00:10:24,840 --> 00:10:29,720 Speaker 1: deserve that. We all deserve to come back to center 166 00:10:29,760 --> 00:10:33,319 Speaker 1: and be able to ask ourselves like who am I? 167 00:10:33,360 --> 00:10:39,280 Speaker 1: When absolutely no one is watching? I recognize that I 168 00:10:39,320 --> 00:10:41,600 Speaker 1: am at the helm of a community that I am 169 00:10:41,679 --> 00:10:45,559 Speaker 1: involved that I am often giving so much of myself 170 00:10:45,600 --> 00:10:47,600 Speaker 1: to others, and I choose to be that way. But 171 00:10:47,679 --> 00:10:52,040 Speaker 1: for me, this trip, this time, I wish I could 172 00:10:52,080 --> 00:10:54,360 Speaker 1: do it more often, But it's my opportunity to come 173 00:10:54,400 --> 00:10:57,520 Speaker 1: back to me and I hope that you can do 174 00:10:57,600 --> 00:11:02,680 Speaker 1: that as well, in whatever way works for you. It 175 00:11:02,720 --> 00:11:04,319 Speaker 1: took me a while to get this comfortable, and I'm 176 00:11:04,320 --> 00:11:08,800 Speaker 1: not saying that it happens overnight, right, So be easy 177 00:11:08,840 --> 00:11:11,720 Speaker 1: on yourself. Like so many other situations in your life, 178 00:11:11,720 --> 00:11:16,000 Speaker 1: have some grace, And for me, I had to find 179 00:11:16,040 --> 00:11:18,040 Speaker 1: a lot of grace this week digging through some of 180 00:11:18,080 --> 00:11:20,560 Speaker 1: the things in my closet, so to speak, that I 181 00:11:20,679 --> 00:11:24,960 Speaker 1: wasn't really ready to confront, or maybe I was and 182 00:11:25,160 --> 00:11:27,440 Speaker 1: just wasn't willing until now to take the time to 183 00:11:27,480 --> 00:11:33,679 Speaker 1: do it. And so courage theme of the week. My 184 00:11:33,800 --> 00:11:38,440 Speaker 1: prompt for you this week one was the last time 185 00:11:38,720 --> 00:11:44,120 Speaker 1: you truly felt courageous? Again? When was the last time 186 00:11:44,400 --> 00:11:50,319 Speaker 1: you truly felt courageous? And now a listener question. 187 00:11:52,240 --> 00:11:55,720 Speaker 2: Hey, Emily, this is Ralphie Perez. I'm based here in Orlando, Florida, 188 00:11:55,800 --> 00:11:58,839 Speaker 2: and I'm a marathon runner and avid listener of your podcast. 189 00:11:59,360 --> 00:12:02,480 Speaker 2: My question you is based around nutrition. I love the 190 00:12:02,520 --> 00:12:05,200 Speaker 2: fact that you are a busy, active person. You have 191 00:12:05,240 --> 00:12:10,320 Speaker 2: this thriving professional career. But as a fellow professional, sometimes 192 00:12:10,320 --> 00:12:14,200 Speaker 2: our nutrition tempts to fall lower on the priority list 193 00:12:14,280 --> 00:12:16,920 Speaker 2: just because we're so busy with our day jobs and training. 194 00:12:17,200 --> 00:12:19,800 Speaker 2: What are your tips and tricks to keep nutrition in check. 195 00:12:20,360 --> 00:12:22,320 Speaker 2: I love to hearing the tips you have or products, 196 00:12:22,760 --> 00:12:24,640 Speaker 2: especially a New Yorker who's always on the go. 197 00:12:25,760 --> 00:12:28,960 Speaker 1: Ooh, this is a good question. Thanks for the question, Ralphie. 198 00:12:29,120 --> 00:12:35,080 Speaker 1: So glad you're a hurdler for me. I would be 199 00:12:35,600 --> 00:12:38,440 Speaker 1: completely lying if I said that I follow any sort 200 00:12:38,440 --> 00:12:41,720 Speaker 1: of specific diet. But I can only go for so 201 00:12:41,920 --> 00:12:45,800 Speaker 1: long without any complete regard for what's good to put 202 00:12:45,800 --> 00:12:47,880 Speaker 1: in my body. Right, So, if you follow me on 203 00:12:48,040 --> 00:12:51,040 Speaker 1: social you've seen me, especially over the last week. I mean, God, 204 00:12:51,040 --> 00:12:54,080 Speaker 1: I'm on vacation, so wine and carbs and croissants. I 205 00:12:54,080 --> 00:12:56,240 Speaker 1: have two in a bag behind me sitting right here. 206 00:12:56,520 --> 00:12:59,000 Speaker 1: To be honest with you, but when it comes to 207 00:12:59,320 --> 00:13:02,319 Speaker 1: my nutrition, and there are a few things that are 208 00:13:02,360 --> 00:13:05,320 Speaker 1: like non negotiables for me, the first and the most 209 00:13:05,400 --> 00:13:07,880 Speaker 1: important one, and you hear about it all the time 210 00:13:07,880 --> 00:13:11,040 Speaker 1: on the show, and probably any podcast you listen to 211 00:13:11,600 --> 00:13:15,800 Speaker 1: is Athletic Greens. I brought eleven travel packs of Athletic 212 00:13:15,840 --> 00:13:19,320 Speaker 1: Greens with me on this journey. I literally left a 213 00:13:19,320 --> 00:13:22,439 Speaker 1: few more for my girlfriend to bring to Chicago because 214 00:13:22,440 --> 00:13:25,440 Speaker 1: I needed to consolidate my space and I would be 215 00:13:25,480 --> 00:13:27,800 Speaker 1: seeing her as soon as I got in. Athletic Greens 216 00:13:27,880 --> 00:13:29,480 Speaker 1: is a non negotiable for me and my day to 217 00:13:29,559 --> 00:13:32,400 Speaker 1: day routine because it is how I give back to 218 00:13:32,480 --> 00:13:35,959 Speaker 1: my body to feel better, no matter if I have 219 00:13:36,160 --> 00:13:39,720 Speaker 1: two croissants sitting behind me, if I have wine multiple 220 00:13:39,720 --> 00:13:41,840 Speaker 1: times a day, although that is not my regular I 221 00:13:41,880 --> 00:13:44,200 Speaker 1: do not want to come off like I am drinking 222 00:13:44,240 --> 00:13:48,720 Speaker 1: too much. But I know that the antioxident equivalent of 223 00:13:48,760 --> 00:13:54,360 Speaker 1: twelve service diffruits and vegetables, probiotics, probiotics, adaptagens, superfoods. I 224 00:13:54,360 --> 00:13:57,559 Speaker 1: mean they now call it ag one from Athletic Greens. 225 00:13:57,840 --> 00:14:01,080 Speaker 1: Ag one is the thing that sets me up for 226 00:14:01,120 --> 00:14:03,520 Speaker 1: success every single day, and it helps me feel more 227 00:14:03,640 --> 00:14:06,600 Speaker 1: energetic and focused because of a lot of the adaptogens 228 00:14:06,640 --> 00:14:09,320 Speaker 1: that are in there. So I can't recommend it enough. 229 00:14:09,760 --> 00:14:12,160 Speaker 1: I wasn't trying to make this an advertisement, but it's 230 00:14:12,200 --> 00:14:14,839 Speaker 1: now slowly becoming one. A little bit so of course 231 00:14:14,880 --> 00:14:16,840 Speaker 1: you know they are a sponsor on the show. If 232 00:14:16,880 --> 00:14:19,240 Speaker 1: you're like not in on it yet, I really can't 233 00:14:19,280 --> 00:14:21,920 Speaker 1: talk about it enough. So give it a try. And 234 00:14:21,960 --> 00:14:23,480 Speaker 1: the good news is that if you do go and 235 00:14:23,520 --> 00:14:27,120 Speaker 1: give it a try, it's you committing to being better 236 00:14:27,120 --> 00:14:28,720 Speaker 1: in your body. And they have a lot of free 237 00:14:28,720 --> 00:14:30,760 Speaker 1: stuff for you.

There's no code necessary, 245 00:14:51,760 --> 00:14:54,320 Speaker 1: but you do need to go through that link to 246 00:14:54,360 --> 00:14:59,200 Speaker 1: get all the freebies. Again, it's Athleticgreens dot com slash hurdle. Anyway, 247 00:14:59,440 --> 00:15:04,800 Speaker 1: as of the last I would say, up maybe a 248 00:15:04,800 --> 00:15:07,800 Speaker 1: couple of months. I okay, So I'm obsessed with this 249 00:15:08,400 --> 00:15:10,840 Speaker 1: like ten or fifteen minute or less delivery service in 250 00:15:10,840 --> 00:15:16,200 Speaker 1: New York. It's called Gorillas. And the thing about Gorillas 251 00:15:16,240 --> 00:15:18,680 Speaker 1: is it makes it so easy for me without much 252 00:15:18,680 --> 00:15:22,000 Speaker 1: of a delivery feed to order ice cream at like 253 00:15:22,680 --> 00:15:25,120 Speaker 1: ten o'clock to my apartment in ten minutes or less. 254 00:15:25,400 --> 00:15:29,240 Speaker 1: And as great as that is, I have started going 255 00:15:29,280 --> 00:15:32,840 Speaker 1: back to This isn't like a landmark breaking nutrition tip, 256 00:15:32,840 --> 00:15:35,320 Speaker 1: but I've been freezing grapes again because I realized, hey, 257 00:15:35,360 --> 00:15:37,960 Speaker 1: to just stop having so much saturated fat before I 258 00:15:38,000 --> 00:15:40,680 Speaker 1: go to bed. So frozen grapes are my new sweet 259 00:15:40,720 --> 00:15:43,600 Speaker 1: go to. I'm getting a lot better. I'm drinking water 260 00:15:43,760 --> 00:15:46,920 Speaker 1: with my coffee in the morning. So why my whole 261 00:15:46,960 --> 00:15:48,640 Speaker 1: process in the morning is I wake up, I have 262 00:15:48,680 --> 00:15:51,800 Speaker 1: an espresso, I usually work out. Then I after I 263 00:15:51,880 --> 00:15:55,480 Speaker 1: work out, work out, shake up my athletic greens, and 264 00:15:55,560 --> 00:15:58,440 Speaker 1: then with the athletic greens, I'll bring a entire camel 265 00:15:58,440 --> 00:16:01,200 Speaker 1: back bottle with me into my office. So by doing that, 266 00:16:01,560 --> 00:16:03,960 Speaker 1: I kind of kickstart water drinking in the right way. 267 00:16:04,040 --> 00:16:07,200 Speaker 1: And another tip to get on the water train if you, 268 00:16:07,320 --> 00:16:09,360 Speaker 1: like me, struggled for a really long time to make 269 00:16:09,440 --> 00:16:12,360 Speaker 1: hydration a priority, is to get a bottle that you 270 00:16:12,480 --> 00:16:14,280 Speaker 1: like to drink out of. Right, I'm sure you've seen 271 00:16:14,320 --> 00:16:17,720 Speaker 1: so many people on Instagram using like zillions of these 272 00:16:17,800 --> 00:16:21,000 Speaker 1: like bottles that have different markers and different words on them, 273 00:16:21,040 --> 00:16:23,800 Speaker 1: like you're doing great, keep going halfway through, et cetera, 274 00:16:24,240 --> 00:16:26,240 Speaker 1: And like I totally see how the motivation can be 275 00:16:26,280 --> 00:16:28,040 Speaker 1: there with that, but you might not need to go 276 00:16:28,160 --> 00:16:32,200 Speaker 1: that far. I'm obsessed, obsessed, obsessed with my Eddy bottle 277 00:16:32,240 --> 00:16:34,840 Speaker 1: from Camelback. It's got a straw on the top, and 278 00:16:34,880 --> 00:16:39,560 Speaker 1: the straw changes everything for me. I definitely drink more 279 00:16:39,560 --> 00:16:41,480 Speaker 1: water because I don't have to like go through And 280 00:16:41,520 --> 00:16:43,640 Speaker 1: this sounds like so lazy, but the process of like 281 00:16:43,760 --> 00:16:47,120 Speaker 1: unscrewing the top the straw, it's just right there. It's 282 00:16:47,160 --> 00:16:50,880 Speaker 1: a bite straw. I'm into it. I'm into it. Camel Back. 283 00:16:50,920 --> 00:16:53,600 Speaker 1: I keep this is again.
