Yeah, medium group.

I'm not crying as much.

Now my eyes are just burning from I swear I put this little like self-bronsor in my lotion and I put it on and it makes my eyes like burn. I don't use it. I'm not even joking. I think it's like 10 years old. Hey guys, episode 118. I feel like we're back to the beginning when we first started this podcast and would do recordings in the afternoon. And right now it's kind of like that hectic time. Lawson just started lacrosse tonight was his first practice. And thank God he plays my neighbor is the coach of the lac team. So he got to ride with them so we could record today and then football starts and then today has just been a really busy day but a good day. I started my morning off the past couple days has been just really sunny and beautiful outside and I walked five miles yesterday,

three miles today or my 20 pound weighted vest. And that my legs, it really makes you feel good, but I can totally tell a difference in my mental state and how I am mentally with walking. it just helps me so much. And before my panic attack, I hadn't been walking and stress builds up. And when I walk, it's like I think through it, I just get it all out while I walk. And then I'm in like such a good mood. I have been telling you that. I've been saying on this podcast. But I do this every year. It's a pattern. It's kind of around this time. I kind of have like the breakdown and because of the weather and then as soon as the sun comes out, it's like, yeah, can't be in Jolly again. Well, you feel, but I also think it's the exercising too. Yeah. I say that all the time and people might get the wrong idea, like I'm fat shaming or whatever it is, it's for your mental health, as well as your physical health. If I don't work out for over a week straight, I not only notice my mental health decline, but my physical health declines. Like if I don't work out for a week to two weeks, I'll get sick because I'm not releasing maybe the toxins in my body or whatever it is, I just notice that if I'm not doing something physically exerting, I'm more irritable, that's just how I am. And it doesn't mean that's right for everybody. But if you again, going through what we talked about, you know, a couple episodes ago with the panic attack, that will help.

You don't necessarily need meds. Some people do. Some people have to balance it out. But exercising, I think, is the key. And I'm not saying go run a marathon. Just take a little walk and you put that vest on. That's exerting. You're gonna be sore the next couple of days. I know, it's good, but I just have felt so much better because the sun's been out, it's warmer.

You just, everybody's in a good mood,

and it's just, it's better.

And I told, It's good, but I just have felt so much better because the sun's been out, it's like warmer. You just, everybody's like in a good mood

and it's just, it's better. And I told myself today, I was like, that's something I have to do instead of like taking which, no, if you do take medicine, it's, I'm not saying that's bad. Take medicine if you need it. Absolutely. But for me, that's like my happy pill is walking.

Yeah.

And that's what I need.

And then too, I need. And then to I think limiting social media and getting off of my phone at a certain time, I've been doing that and setting a time like, okay, at this time, I'm off my phone. And then we watch our shows. Yeah. And then to with walking the past couple days since I've been walking and sleeping better. So all of it goes hand in hand, right? If you're on your game and again not going overboard or going crazy, just making a little space for yourself during the day, get that exercise in. You're also thinking about things you have to go through. So it's kind of like

not only is it good for you, mentally and physically, you're kind of, it's like a therapy. At least it is for me. When I work out, I kind of focus on what I have to do. I'm thinking of other stuff. Then I'll get into sauna and really focus and think what I need to do for the day or plan out my week. And all of it just goes hand in hand for me, for me.

So. So with you, we have an unfinished room in our basement and Jeff made that until like a gym. And Jeff, it's like his sanctuary, he loves it. But I don't like it because to me it's dark. There's no windows to look outside. There's a little window. No, I need like if I was working out down here, I need the blinds open. I need like the window open and like a treadmill out here because you make me feel better. But it is. It's just some and I got good news from the doctor. There's some things I was like, I'm worried about, but I was wondering about and I had my hormones tracked and my seeing if I had any vitamin deficiencies, I had the basically the whole panel spread. I think they did like 10 draws of blood and it all came back, my blood work all came back fine. So I was like, your booty needs to get outside and start walking, nothing's wrong with you. Well, that's gotta make you feel good, like mentally and with the anxiety and things like that, cause I know you're worked up about all the tests and everything else piled on each other and I think that's what happened last week. With the panic attack, yeah. And so it was nice to get good news and it's also good just to know, like, okay, but, you know, I was thinking, I was like, how am I in vitamin deficiency? I drink my AG one every day and I'm always like, I'm serious. Yeah. And I'm always like taking stuff and then so it's good to know I wasn't and with that and I was worried about my hormones, you know, like struggling, losing weight. That's just like a thing for me now. Jordan, and I don't know how many of you at home have exercise machines that you've purchased and you've never really used. I bought an elliptical and I've told stories when I had the warranty on it. It's still going. It's still good, but Jordan purchased a peloton, but not from the store. My neighbor was moving and she sold it for me like dirt cheap. And so I bought it from her, both while they were moving because she didn't want to take it with me. So I did not go to the Peloton store. I did not spend like $2,000 on a bike. I got it for dirt cheap. Okay. So, irregardless. Jordan bought this Peloton bike. We're not set up with any like a monthly subscription or anything,

because Jordan has never been on the list.

You don't want to pay for a monthly subscription. Why would I pay for a monthly subscription when you don't even subscribe to getting on this? Maybe if I had a monthly subscription, I would. Yeah. So my neighbor down here is like, let me know when you're set up, because we can, I guess you can race each other. you can do something like that.

And I'm like, okay.

And then she texts me yesterday and goes,

are you all set up?

I wanted to be like, Jeb And then she texts me yesterday and goes,

are you all set up?

I wanted to be like,
