| 0:00.0 | Hi guys, it's Tony Robbins. You're listening to Habits and Hustle. Crush it. |
| 0:08.1 | Hello, everybody. Welcome to Habits and Hustle solo edition. And because I haven't mentioned it |
| 0:13.8 | in many, many days or episodes, guys, if you can, please leave comments and what else. And subscribe on YouTube. |
| 0:23.5 | No, you can't start the solo that way. Wait, hold on. Yes, I am. We are joined, hold on a second. |
| 0:28.7 | We are joined by my most wonderful, what do you call yourself? Foyle. Exactly. My, my dear friend and sister, well, kind of like a sister, but not really genetically. |
| 0:41.9 | What are you talking about? We're literally blood-related. Yeah, we're not blood-related, but almost. |
| 0:45.7 | Shawnee, who's here to kind of join in on the fun on the solos again. And we are, well, by the way, |
| 0:54.0 | so nice to have you back. Thank you. It's so nice to be back. It's so nice to have you back. We've missed you over here. I love what you've done with the place. Do you? I mean, do you really? We were at my kitchen table last time you were here. Do you know that? I know. Do you miss the kitchen table? I think the light is nice in there, but this is very nice and you look so good Oh, no, stop it. I think you just want to have your job back and be in the foil. No, just look at her arms. Oh, my God, you're so nice. That's very kind of you. I work out, as you guys all know, but more than that, more than just working out, you know what it is? Really? More than anything, it's, well, besides working out, it's about what you eat. |
| 1:29.5 | 99.9% is what you eat. I talk about this all the time. I feel like when you, you can do, you can literally work out like a fiend 24 hours a day, but if you're not like watching what you put in your mouth, guess what happens? |
| 1:42.2 | You gain weight. You gain weight. Like, but I find that if you work out a lot, you have less time to eat. No. When you work out too, see, I find there to be a very delicate balance between how much you work out and how intense you work out versus not work out. Because the more you work out, the hungrier you get. And the hungry you get, the more calories you eat. So, and the more intense you work out, the hungrier you get. And the hungry you get, the more calories |
| 2:00.9 | you eat. So, and the more intense you work out, the hungrier you get. So you can't really work out, |
| 2:06.9 | you can't people, you can't work out so much to the point where you are just starving 23 hours a day. |
| 2:14.8 | No, obviously not, but as in to say, like for me, there's just less time in the day for me to be snacking if I'm, you know, going to a Pilates class. For that one hour, maybe, but then you'll make up on the snacks on the way home. That's what I find. Or you'll eat three more snacks because you're ravenous. Like, I get ravenous when I work out too much. So I've had to, like, pull back |
| 2:35.3 | because this is what comes like, this is like the kind of the quandary I get into, which is for my |
| 2:40.4 | mental health, I need to work out intensely. Like, I need to, like, run and do hardcore, like, |
| 2:47.4 | hit training or cardio. That's really what kind of helps me kind of get my mind |
| 2:51.3 | right and my mood right. But then on the flip side, I'm then starving and then I end up eating |
| 2:58.1 | weight more than I normally would and therefore it becomes this whole like vicious cycle, right? |
| 3:03.1 | Because I can't control. Like I want more sugar. I want more. So I have to like, I have to like, |
| 3:08.0 | I have to kind of discipline myself not to work out as intensely on that level, you know. |
| 3:14.0 | I'm like a steady state snacker. Oh, steady state snacker. What does that even mean? |
| 3:20.2 | So I just snack steadily throughout the day. But then if I am busy doing other things, I literally won't snack. Well, you've got to keep yourself busy then all the time. That's what I do. See, I mean, it is good. Being busy does help cut the calories. No, it's really because genuinely, if you don't have, I mean, it's good to allocate time to eat and, like, get your meals and stuff, but if you just don't have that much time to sit around like snack, when I have endless hours to be on the couch, if I'm on vacation, I'm |
