- Welcome to another week of Patient Profiles.
This is a segment of our show where we check in
with a special someone who's on their weight loss journey,
TT, and inquire into their aspirations,
their moments of success, their challenges,
and because we're all only human, their failures as well.
This is week three for TT,
and we will be getting into it right after this.
(energetic music)
All right, welcome back everybody.
This is week three for TT, Patient Profiles.
You know, we've been working together now
for three weeks and,
you know, it's been a rollercoaster, right.
There have been ups.
There have been downs.
And I know this is something that's difficult for anybody
whether you're smaller and you're trying to lose weight,
or you're bigger and trying to lose weight.
Essentially you're setting a goal and encountering
various road blocks and successes,
that's all part of the game.
Today we'll be exploring week three for TT.
So, TT.
- Yes.
- Between last week when we talked last,
that was the end of week two.
In week three, tell me how things have been going,
specifically as it pertains to nutrition
and you eating habits.
- Yeah, so the food, I didn't do chili this week.
- You didn't do what?
- I didn't eat chili.
- Okay.
- 'Cause for a while, even before we started
I was eating chili cause I can throw a bunch of veggies
in it and a bunch of meat and call it a day.
It's like a full balance meal.
I have been eating a bunch of meat though this week,
and veggies, more so meat than veggies.
Frank that makes a difference, but.
- What was your protein goal this week.
- My protein goal was, I think I was hitting 160
plus grams per day.
- Grams per day.
Okay, okay.
- I hit it every day this week.
I still try to keep my carbs low,
a little lower.
And my fat, it depended kind of what meat I ate
or what veggies and how I cut them.
But, for the most part nutrition was pretty easy this week.
I will say, okay so we pushed my fasting time
up an hour.
So, I was at 17 hours fasting and seven hours eating.
And that was hard this week.
- Yeah, so tell me more about that.
- I think I probably did, so I started Monday
with the 17 and seven.
I probably stuck to that for, no three out of the five days.
I always made it to 12.
So I always made it to 16 hours and a half,
and it was like sometimes that last 30 minutes was like.
- Difficult.
- What are you doing to me?
And I don't know why.
I'm trying to think back, like, was I,
what did I eat the night before,
or was it, that's pretty much what it was.
Did I drink enough water during the fasting in the morning?
And that for me was for a couple of the days
did make a difference.
Yesterday was probably my easiest day to making
it the 17 hours 'cause I made sure I drank enough water.
I probably drank a, not a gallon,
but like three quarts, or whatever,
close to a gallon before it was time for me to eat.
- And do you find that that is crucial to making it
your entire fasting period.
- Yes, yes, 'cause my brain is like,
I'm not full.
Why aren't you feeding me?
If I drink some water and coffee,
I did drink coffee.
But it's like what's going on?
But once it's full it's full.
Also, doing other things, filling that brain space
with something, what's the word I'm looking for,
with something makes a difference.
Because yesterday, like I said, was easy.
Well, I went home and was playing with
my nieces and nephews.
So, and that was close to about the time
that I needed to eat.
So, I'm playing with them, completely forgot
that I was hungry.
Completely forgot that I had my food waiting for me.
And we just sitting there playing for like 30 minutes.
And I was like okay.
I'm like, thank you, and they all laughing and stuff,
like, ha ha ha.
But yeah, that was really hard this week.
Not the eating part, but definitely trying to make it 17
hours was rough.
- Well, you know, I think it's important to go back
to what she mentioned earlier that as it pertains
to drinking enough water.
So, when you're intermittent fasting,
or actually when you're doing anything,
any type of diet, or not dieting at all,
many people, you have to understand that our bodies
will fundamentally confuse the sensation
of thirst with hunger.
So, unless you are very, very thirsty and dehydrated,
every other kind of, anywhere else also the spectrum
just before that point of extreme dehydration
your body will to a certain extent interpret as hunger.
You will feel that you need to eat
when in fact you do not need to eat.
You nee to increase you consumption of fluids.
I advocate no pop, staying away from sugary drinks.
So, when I say increase our consumption of fluids
I mean water, tea, coffee.
There is a certain amount of fluid that all of us
naturally get from our food.
A good amount every day.
But as I encourage TT and as I've encourages other people
I think it's, you want to reach your goal even before
you start thinking about water that you get from food.
You want to reach your hydration goal simply from
foods, I'm sorry,
simply from liquids you can readily quantify,
which are liquids in a container, in a cup,
as opposed to those from food.
So, when you are going that you will absolutely find
when you are getting enough fluids from your hydration
sources all day long you will find
that you won't feel as hungry.
And that is only natural.
I'm very glad that she mentioned that.
TT, so let's talk about the gym.
This last week, week between week two and week three
was there anything exciting that happened at the gym.
- I wouldn't say exciting,
but I have been running almost every day.
We have a air runner at the gym and I try
to do some kind of intervals.
I think I did probably three out of the five days.
I was on the air runner and I would do two minute intervals,
so two minutes on two minutes off.
And yesterday was the first day that I really paid
attention to the difference,
not the difference, the distance, every time I got on.
So, oddly enough I think I'll try to push
myself more towards the end.
I was getting about within two minutes of probably hitting
anywhere between 250, 250 meters and like 350 meters
towards the end.
Whereas earlier in the week I was just kind of running
and I knew I wasn't hitting that.
But I was doing it with other people too
so I would just go based off of their last
where they stopped at and pay attention
to where I stopped at after that.
But, I'm getting better.
I'm trying to, I have to remember to breath correctly,
that makes a big difference in running and just
in working out period.
I have more body to feed oxygen to so the better I breathe
throughout any workout the better I move,
the less pain per se I will be,
and the longer I can go.
- Absolutely.
- So, say if we're doing wall balls,
I figured if I breathe, sometimes it can be a bit much,
but it depends.
Most times I'll breathe when I'm extended
all the way throwing the ball up.
And then I'll breathe again coming down,
which is kind of fast.
But it has helped me get more reps in at once
rather than having to take a break to breathe.
Same thing with kettle bell swings.
The more I breathe the longer I can go.
It's just my body is getting oxygen.
But that was the biggest thing this week,
which I don't despise running,
but I'm still heavy, so there's a little bit more still.
But the more I do it the better I get.
- So, I think TT is downplaying one thing here.
So, last week in last week's episode
we talked about TT hitting a pretty huge milestone
of being able to accomplish a kipping hand stand pushup.
And yesterday in her workout TT knocked out
48 hand stand pushups over the course of the workout.
Is that not true.
- Yes that's true I forgot about that.
I did, my thing is, it was rough 'cause it was 20 minutes
and you can try to get in as many rounds as you can.
And so it was 12 dumbbell snatches at 35 pounds,
a 50 foot walking lunge, overhead walking lunge
with the same dumbbell, and 12 kipping handstand pushups.
I just got hand stand pushups maybe a couple weeks ago,
maybe a month ago.
And my set is, once I learn how to do something
I'm gonna try to do it in a wod,
no matter how long it takes me.
- Define wod.
- Workout of the day.
So, every time there's been hand stand pushups
in the workout I'm gonna try to do it.
And yesterday, so I do it, I do them with three at max
for my handstand pushups.
I can do with with two, but to get through sets
I'm trying to get through them quickly.
I'm gonna use three.
If it's for time I'm gonna use two.
And yesterday I was able to give one,
give one handstand pushup with one mat.
And that was pretty big,
because essentially I'm doing a 255 pound press,
like push press, which is really cool,
or push jerk essentially.
But yeah, I did, and I got four rounds
as opposed as I did a pike pushup I would have gotten
more rounds, but I'm trying to push myself.
- Trying to develop.
- Crossfit is here to push us.
And I'm not gonna push myself if I don't push myself,
if that makes sense.
- Absolutely, absolutely.
Well, congrats.
I know that's a huge milestone to be able
to use a skill that you newly acquired in a workout
when you're under stress and your breathing hard.
So, congratulations on that.
So, to wrap this up let's talk about results for week three.
So TT, since last week has gained 0.9 pounds
of total body weight.
She has gained almost 2.3 pounds of fat mass,
and has gained 0.8% body fat.
She also lost approximately 1.5 pounds of lean mass.
Since we started working together though
she has lost 8.9 pounds of body weight,
10.1 pounds of fat mass, and 2.3% of body fat.
She's down total 1.1 inches off her waist,
0.9 inches off her stomach,
and 1.3 inches off her hips.
So TT, tell us really quickly how you feel about
this weeks changes as compared to last week.
- I ain't worried about it,
because I am a woman and my period is starting soon.
(Nick laughing)
Probably this weekend or sometime next week.
So, what do our bodies do?
It prepares for it.
So, unfortunately that's what I have to prepare for.
- Something men who are watching this video,
we don't have to deal with.
But you know, one thing we do have to deal with
even as men, there are rollercoasters.
Whenever you set a goal for weight loss,
you're trying to achieve certain objectives,
it's not gonna be a straight line down day after day.
It's not gonna be that way.
It's gonna be a rollercoaster.
You have to be patient.
You have to be very focused on the long term
instead of the short term.
And you have to be willing to ride out the wave.
And so with that being said I'm very happy that TT
has the mindset that she does,
and she so focused and determined in reaching the goal
that she has set.
