We are angelic show hosts.
YouTuber that doesn't know how to YouTube problems.
We are both very wide awake
Yes...
And alert
So alert!
Hey guys!
I am here with my friend Beka
Her YouTube channel is MaeGee's Corner
I will have all the information about that in the description.
You can check her out later if you would like to do that!
So basically, today we are going to be talking about
something...
We're going to be talking about how easy it is
to judge someone, and possibly how healthy they are
when you're just looking in from the outside
versus whether or not those judgements
we can easily make are actually
true, or hold any weight.
So basically, I got the idea for this video when
when I saw Beka's Facebook post she made
basically how you're doing in your weight loss!
And it's super exciting!
So, as of filming this video right now,
She's lost over 26 pounds
and like, she's doing really good, and that's like
incredible that she's just going after these goals and doing that.
But, it really got me thinking,
in her post she mentioned that she cut soda out of her diet
and I got thinking about that and was like,
that's something I haven't done.
I haven't gotten the sugary death water out of my life.
That's something I should do probably,
it would be much better for my body
but then it got me thinking.
People often judge, based solely on appearances
they say, "Oh, this person looks overweight, so
obviously, they're unhealthy, and they're not doing healthy things."
And it can be so easy to just look from the outside
and say, "Ah, yeah well,
they should be healthy, they're not being healthy
and just because you're overweight, well now I'm judging how you handle your health."
That's why I didn't post when I first started losing weight
'cause I'm like,
I'm going to get the crap judged out of me...
I'm just going to hide this
until I feel like I'm actually ready
to talk about it. -Yeah, and then you
made some progress and you shared it, and
you were surrounded by people who are like, "That's exciting!
That's awesome! We're so proud of you!"
But that judgement out there is real and it exists
from different people, so
we just wanted to address whether or not
doing something like that, does it have any grounds in facts
is it something that you can really justify doing
or, is there a better way to address this?
So I figured a good way to do that would be
to compare our exercise habits, our eating habits, and our sleep schedules.
Because those are three huge things relating to whether you're acting healthy or not.
So, we're going to compare those
and if you want to see who's actually healthy here,
stay tuned!
We're going to start with exercise then.
Now first, let's look at my exercise habits.
It's one of the first things people go to when they're saying,
"Oh, well obviously. This person is a little bit overweight
so they need to be exercising more."
Just because I am
almost unhealthily small
does not mean I am exercising.
The majority of exercise I get
happens when I get it in my head,
"I should really exercise more."
And so then for that day, I do 20 push ups
I do 20 sit ups
I dance around the room, I play just dance or something
I play loud music, I'm like "Oh yay! Cardio! This is fun!"
But, you know, I do that for a day.
And then, I have no motivation the next day.
I'm like, "Oh I got exercise yesterday."
I might go for a bike ride over the weekend
or help my husband with yard work, but
other than that, I am not making any active
effort to exercise. =/
People would never look at me and say,
"Man! You're definitely not in shape right now,
you should be exercising."
Purely because I don't have a little more weight on me,
it's just the way my metabolism works I guess, I dunno.
But yeah.
I'm not actively trying to do that, but people would never think it.
Now Beka on the other hand...
I actually work out at least once every single day
Sometimes I take Sundays off just because
Sundays I'm resting.
I do yoga at least once a week.
And I actually will feel physically sick if I don't
do my yoga during the week.
(Your body knows what you need)
Exactly.
I walk pretty much everywhere
I don't have a car currently, so
so getting pretty much everywhere is either
walking or begging for a ride.
I take the stairs.
I live on basically a basement floor, so
I have to go upstairs to get anywhere I have to go downstairs to get home.
I have to walk to my job
to classes, I take the stairs.
I try to do at least one other random
physical activity thing a week.
Whether it's dancing or yoga
or going for a walk...
Whatever I feel like doing!
Just something awesome.
My current job I work has me on my feet
pretty much the entire time that I'm on.
Running back and forth...
I try to stand when I am doing the one sitting job that I have to do
just because, sitting for
an hour and 15 minutes is not fun.
That's really true though.
Then as well, I did the fitness challenge which kind of jump-started everything!
And I'm wearing the shirt from it!
The Kuyper College official shirt for
the fitness challenge, where you need
to do 50 push ups
followed by 50 sit ups
followed by 50 squats
in a row.
And the challenge was to finish it in five minutes or less.
But I was one of two students
and one staff member
who stuck it out the entire time
for the whole two months this challenge was going on
That's a long time.
And I finished in under 7 minutes
while the other person who did it finished in under 5.
There you go!
That's good though! That's like meeting your goals and sticking to it!
Exactly! it was (That's awesome)
It felt awful, and incredible
at the exact same time!
That's so accurate though!
I miss that feeling, from like
doing soccer in high school.
That awful but awesome feeling of, "Man, my body is happy with me right now!"
And yet my body is also very unhappy with me at this exact moment!
That's so true...
You see, I need to work on this
she's doing a great job and continuing and I'm so proud of her!
But again,
you would never know it if all you're going off of is,
"Man, this person looks like this, so I assume this."
You wouldn't guess it.
Next we're going to address our eating habits.
I think I'm unique in the problem I have when it comes to eating
for most people.
I eat balanced meals.
So I do try to get all the food groups in there,
and eat things that are fresh and good and I like to cook
so the food I eat is good food.
Like, I'm not filling myself with crap, so that's great.
But,
I forget to have meals,
and that's really really bad for you.
I've been getting better at it in the past couple weeks,
but for all of last year basically
I'm just not good at habits.
So even something as simple as meals,
You'd think meals would be easy right? No.
I'll get up, and I'll start doing work in the morning,
and before I know it, it will be three o clock, and I'm like
"I really don't feel good, I'm getting a headache, I wonder why this is."
And then, probably 45 minutes later I'll be like,
"Oh! I haven't eaten yet today!
That's a thing I should do!"
So then I make myself a small meal then,
and then for dinner I'll have like, a huge meal!
Lots and lots of food.
I give my body what it needs,
but i gets it in like, this massive chunk.
And that's not good for you at all.
Your body wants to have regular meals
because your body does better when it's on a schedule first of all,
and it wants smaller portions, not just eating all your food near the end of the day.
(Which is what I habitually do.)
Ah, yeah, see? I have a habit of doing the wrong thing.
So I've been working on that recently, but again,
looking at me you'd say, "Oh yeah,
she's obviously eating healthy."
And while the contents of the food I'm eating is healthy,
the way I'm doing it is not.
And that is something I am currently working on.
Meanwhile, since December,
I've kind of been working on monitoring
my own eating habits, just because
I've had a lot of struggle with it in the past.
One of the first things I do
is I make sure I get plenty of water during the day.
At least 100 ounces.
Although I should be hovering around
over 160.
It's really hard.
I am lactose sensitive.
So, I try to limit dairy.
I still can't resist mac 'n cheese, I mean,
come on, mac 'n cheese is just too good!
So I have little portions of that
when it's available to me.
I eat lots of meals during the day,
but they're very small meals.
And that's what your body needs!
For example, this week, because it's finals week
and I have trouble with stress eating
and I know this about myself
I'm trying to limit myself to 500 calories or less
for my big meals.
And then, I eat lots of small snacks in between.
And usually a snack for me is like,
fruit,
or one of the little bags of popcorn that you can buy at the store,
or different 100 calorie snack packs
of nuts and raisins, and what have you.
Oh, so good!
Stuff that makes your body happy!
Exactly!
I also cut out soda after New Years.
(Other than
certain kinds of root beer and ginger ale I still drink)
but most of those are like, natural.
Not all those sweeteners and additives and <bleh hand motion>
And I even tried to have soda
a couple weeks ago
and got so sick to my stomach
it was not fun.
Because once you cut it out, your body knows.
It's like, "Oh yeah! I don't need that!"
and then you try to have it again, and it's like
"I DON'T NEED THAT!"
Exactly.
I still drink coffee
and I still do tea,
but I try to make sure that 95% of the time
when I have those things
no sugar, no creamer.
Luckily, I like the taste of black coffee.
I do enjoy indulging
in fancy coffee and tea drinks
and stuff like that. -It's so good sometimes!- Exactly!
It's good for your soul and good for your stomach.
Yes! You also gotta nurture yourself here too.
Like, it's good to take care of this,
but occasionally, this is very important.
I usually try to limit those to once a week.
And on the days that I have those, I make sure
that I intentionally exercise
more to burn off all the excess calories.
Sleep!
Oh dear.
Oh sleep.
Alright, the last thing we were going to cover is our sleep schedules.
Because, your sleep is very important to your health too.
My sleep schedule, at least, the one I've been trying to get into,
is being in bed by 10:30ish
sometimes I succeed, sometimes I don't.
And then my husband has to be leaving for work by
6:30 so,
getting up at 5:50 or 6
and you know, helping him get his lunch ready and all that
That would be pretty healthy sleep schedule, problem is,
I get enough sleep in that time period,
an then I am very tempted to go back to bed
when he leaves.
And that is what I struggle with.
Because I know my body is getting enough sleep, so
I can "overdose" on sleep sometimes.
But, I'm getting better at that.
I'm actually staying up more often
and getting stuff done more
'cause those are really hours you can be very productive in too
-Exactly- so, I'm getting better at it
but I am not 100% on my sleep schedule.
But I'm learning and it's something I'm aware of
and I'm growing! So, that's where I'm at.
And then, I am a college student.
So, sometimes the sleep schedule gets
a little messed up.
But I usually try to keep it
approximately the same time, especially during the week.
(During the weekend it kind of goes off the rails.)
But, such is life.
Such is college life especially.
So I usually try to get up between 6:30 and 8 am
depending on which classes I have to go to that morning
and what I've got going on.
And then 1 am is my absolute latest bedtime
and that's only if it is an emergency and I have
this paper due in my very first class tomorrow
and I need to finish it now.
But typically it's around 11, 11:30 that I go to bed
sometimes midnight.
I sleep a lot more than most of the other people on campus do.
I need at least 8 hours
to actually feel alive.
(Which is why I drink coffee)
because that makes up for that missed hour
that often happens.
I feel like I think 7 or 7 1/2 would be perfect for me.
But then, I just, I love my dreams so much,
I have that desire to go back to sleep, because
I was in this epic world I just created, and I was solving problems
and I was a superhero! I was flying 10 stories above the earth!
I did all the cool things! Now I want to go back!
Exactly, so that's kind of my struggle,
It's not that I need more sleep, it's that I want more.
That is the weekend struggle for me. <sighs> -Yeah-
So, we're both working on sleep.
We're getting there.
So, in conclusion,
what you eat, how you sleep, and what exercise you're getting
those are huge parts of your health
and how healthy you are being.
But in online forums,
and just, even people being
rude or judgemental in person,
often, all we think about is,
"You look a certain way, so I'm going to say you're not being healthy."
That's not a good way!
It's not a good way to address the world. -Exactly-
It's not a good way to think about things.
Everyone has a different circumstance,
everyone takes different steps to get through what they're working on
'Cause I mean I have a couple of different, I have,
I am pre-diabetic.
And then I also have another endocrine disorder, poly-cystic ovarian syndrome.
And because of these different things
my body packs on weight.
And my body holds on to that fat.
Just because of how, chemically, my body is imbalanced.
Which is, part of why,
since I can't afford the full medication
and I don't really want to go through all the side effects of that medication
and diabetes is something you can't really come back from
once you've got it, you have it forever,
I decided in December,
I really need to get my body back.
-And you've been doing it!- So that's why I've been working on
exercising and dieting! -And that's awesome!-
That's just it though! Everyone's got different things they're going through
I didn't even know that second one!
I was like "What?" <boom sound effect> Mind blown.
I was still in the process of being diagnosed when we lived together.
Okay, that's why.
And I suffer from migraines, I get them all the time,
and I can be just a very "frail" person in general
when it comes to my immune system and things like that.
Trust me, I had to take care of her a couple times when she got sick
and then fiance now hubby was not available.
Yeah, at school, I'd be
I'd be out of commission.
It was not good times.
So everyone's dealing with something different,
so don't just judge someone on what you see.
If you actually care about them, get to know them
and encourage those who are actually in your life
and give the benefit of the doubt to people you don't know.
Because the world's going to be a happier place if we're
plotting everyone's good instead of their downfall.
Exactly.
Encouraging and building up instead of tearing down.
I hope that this has opened your eyes to the
possibilities of what the world could be
if we were all just a little bit nicer.
A little bit more understanding.
