a week in my life | my wellness routine
Sydney Serena
0:00 Good morning, guys.
0:00 It's Sid and welcome back.
0:05 Rise back up.
0:05 [music] Doing green shot.
0:08 This is so good.
0:11 [music] This week we're doing a wellness vlog.
0:16 The older I get and the more I learn about my health and I learn about
0:20 my body and the way foods are digested
0:22 and like how workouts impact me on a deeper level,
0:25 the more I feel like inclined and motivated to take care of myself,
0:29 which makes a lot of sense.
0:30 I've been listening to like a lot of podcasts.
0:32 I've been really intrigued by these things.
0:34 Maybe I took the wrong life path.
0:36 Maybe maybe I should be a dietitian.
0:38 No, take this with a grain of salt.
0:40 I really think that's important to know.
0:41 Like I am not perfect.
0:42 These are just like habits and things that I've been trying to implement.
0:46 It's a Monday and I'm going to start out
0:47 my week getting some fresh groceries from the farmers market.
0:51 Sorry, I actually lied.
0:53 Before I go to the farmers market,
0:54 I wanted to take you guys from the very start of my morning,
0:57 like the first thing I do when I wake up.
0:59 One thing I have been very consistent with out of fear
1:03 is having a glass full of water first thing in the morning.
1:06 When I say out of fear, you know,
1:08 this actually did work in my favor because I do drink water every morning.
1:12 Now, when I was really young,
1:13 I was getting migraines all the time with like the aura.
1:16 I couldn't see anything.
1:17 They were pretty bad.
1:18 And so, I went to the doctor and he asked me the question,
1:21 "Do you drink enough water?" Clearly,
1:23 I wasn't because after that, I've really made it
1:26 an effort to drink water first thing in the morning.
1:28 Especially after you sleep overnight,
1:30 you really need to like replenish all that hydration that you've lost.
1:33 And ever since then, I've been doing it every single morning.
1:36 And I've hardly gotten any migraines since.
1:38 And now, if I don't drink water first thing in the morning, I'm scared.
1:41 I'm just scared that I'm going to get a migraine.
1:43 I'm not making any claims here, but and then I'm going to take a probiotic.
1:47 I got this one on Amazon, actually.
1:49 There's a few other supplements I take.
1:51 I decided to wear a tank top today
1:52 and I just forgot that it's not actually summer yet.
1:55 So, this will be much needed.
2:06 [music]
2:08 So, I just got off the train and I saw this bone broth stand from Spring Bone.
2:13 I've heard that bone broth is really good for you.
2:15 So, I've been trying to drink it more as like
2:16 a substitute to coffee sometimes and when it's really cold.
2:19 I really like it.
2:20 So, hi.
2:21 Um, can I have just like a small bone broth, please?
2:24 Thank you.
2:25 I just spilled.
2:27 Now, my new sweater is going to smell like chicken.
2:29 I got the immunity broth.
2:30 one.
2:30 I think they just add a little bit of ginger and like vitamin C to the broth,
2:34 which I think is always good.
2:36 So, I'm going to walk around the farmers market, see what I find.
2:47 [music] [music] After the farmers market, I had this meeting at a coffee shop.
3:01 So, I ordered a hot peppermint tea.
3:03 Something I've been drinking a lot more recently has been tea.
3:06 It just makes me feel good.
3:07 I love it in the winter months cuz it's warm
3:09 and especially if it's later in the day, like at this time.
3:11 I try to avoid caffeine.
3:13 I'd say after like 400 p.m.
3:17 [music] So, I just got out of my meeting.
3:20 I was just meeting the girl who runs the social
3:22 media because I had to give her some new jewelry pieces.
3:25 So, we met up here.
3:26 I'm almost done with my peppermint tea and I was going to go home,
3:30 but I was going through my wallet and I
3:32 saw that I have this massage card used up.
3:35 I used to go to this massage place all the time cuz
3:37 I used to [music] live right around here but then I moved.
3:40 So I didn't know I filled up this whole
3:42 reward card thing and I never fill up cards.
3:45 Like I always lose them before I finish them.
3:48 So I get a free massage and I'm right here
3:50 and it's a wellness vlog which means I should get a massage.
3:54 I'm really reaching.
3:56 Update.
3:56 I did do it.
3:57 Great massage.
3:58 Honestly 10 out of 10.
3:59 The problem after getting a massage is I just want to go straight to sleep.
4:04 Like I could probably fall asleep right now.
4:06 Anyways, now I'm going to make some dinner.
4:08 I want to show you guys what I got at the farmers market earlier.
4:11 I never did a haul.
4:13 I picked up a little fresh produce and a couple things.
4:15 The first thing I got though was just some sourdough bread.
4:18 I'm going to use this for the next couple days and then after that I'm
4:21 just going to freeze it cuz I want to like save it for a while.
4:24 But that is going to be a part of the dinner tonight.
4:26 Actually, all of this is going to be for dinner.
4:29 Next, I got some little I don't know if
4:31 they call them mini sweet potatoes or fingerling sweet potatoes.
4:34 These are like easier to chop.
4:36 I don't really know if there's a [snorts] big taste difference.
4:38 And then I also got some really fresh mixed greens.
4:41 Mixed greens are one of my favorite things to get at a farmers market.
4:44 And then I also got an apple.
4:45 My plan is to make maybe like a little
4:47 salad with all of this stuff with sweet potato,
4:49 the mixed greens, and then I also have some chicken in my fridge.
4:52 So, I'll try to use that and like make up a dressing.
4:55 We'll see.
4:56 I feel like I can put something together here.
4:58 Also, my roommate's not home and I'm really lonely, so that has no relevance.
5:03 I just wanted to say that before I even start cooking,
5:06 I need to make sure this is good.
5:07 I literally put this in my purse because I had no bag
5:10 with me and I felt really weird walking around with sourdough in my purse.
5:18 Workout of the day was doing that.
5:20 All right.
5:22 Mm- [clears throat] Fresh sourdough.
5:25 There was like nothing better.
5:26 [music] [music] I used to actually hate sweet potatoes
5:39 and my roommate Olivia was the one who got
5:43 me to like them because she showed me how
5:45 good it is when you season them with cinnamon.
5:48 Nothing I would have ever done myself or like thought to do.
5:52 And once she introduced me to that, I have been so obsessed with sweet potatoes.
5:57 So, that's what I'm going to do.
5:58 I'm going to put these all in this bowl and just coat them with some olive oil,
6:02 some cinnamon, some salt,
6:03 some like basic seasonings, and then I'm going to throw these in the air fryer,
6:07 start cooking the chicken, and chop the apple.
6:10 I guess it's kind of it.
6:11 So, [music] [music] Dinner is ready.
6:23 And I am honestly really impressed with myself because I didn't follow a recipe,
6:27 which usually freaks me out because I think I'm just so type A.
6:30 I need to have all the instructions and like measurements laid out for me.
6:34 Kind of annoying like that, but I just threw together kind of some random stuff.
6:38 So, I'll show you.
6:39 So, this is the salad.
6:40 I put some apples.
6:42 I had some crushed peacons, too.
6:43 I put in there and then chicken and parmesan.
6:46 I also put together this little dressing and I'm
6:48 going to put the ingredients on the screen.
6:49 I also have my sweet potatoes over there.
6:51 I'm probably going to get way more.
6:52 I have my sourdough toasted.
6:54 I'm telling you guys, this dressing is amazing.
6:56 I usually have everything on hand for it and it's so good and fresh.
7:01 Anyways, I'm going to eat and turn something on.
7:03 That dinner was so good.
7:04 I ended up having three plates, so I'm very full.
7:08 I did just eat a Reese's peanut butter cup, so I forgot to film that.
7:12 Balance, everybody.
7:13 It's balance.
7:14 I'm going to get ready for bed because I'm so tired.
7:17 My good friend just got me for Christmas a journaling Bible,
7:21 which I haven't had before.
7:22 [clears throat] It's everything that your Bible has except for this one
7:25 has margins on the side that you can take notes in.
7:29 I'm going to do this for a little bit before bed
7:30 and not go on my phone because the last 20 minutes before bed,
7:34 I really try to not go on my phone cuz it really does disrupt my sleep.
7:39 [music] [music] Good morning, guys.
7:53 I'm at Solid Core.
7:54 I'm doing a workout class here, and I've never done one of these classes.
7:58 I'm really nervous.
8:00 We're going to see how this goes.
8:02 You know, I'm actually like really nervous
8:04 for this because I've just heard it's like really hard.
8:07 Wish me luck.
8:08 People always told me that solid core moves really
8:11 fast compared to regular Pilates and they were right.
8:13 That would be my biggest description.
8:15 It was so hard, guys.
8:17 But I did enjoy it.
8:18 The coach was so nice.
8:19 I just died in there.
8:21 I really just died.
8:22 It was as hard as everyone says.
8:24 I did have to like modify so much.
8:26 Holding my phone right now is really painful.
8:30 Like I'm that sore.
8:31 I can't even hold my phone.
8:32 Anyways, I got a little Duncan protein refresher after.
8:36 This is so good.
8:37 like 10 out of 10.
8:38 Great little post-workout snack.
8:40 All right, guys.
8:41 I'm back home.
8:41 I have like no energy right now because I am so exhausted from that.
8:45 I'm honestly proud of myself for going though.
8:47 I was like pretty nervous for this because people like talk
8:50 about solid core all the time and how hard it is.
8:52 And I've just heard some like pretty intense stories about it.
8:55 So, I'm just glad that I went and I did it.
8:58 I just prepared my lunch.
8:59 I just threw together leftovers from last night.
9:02 The same exact thing I had,
9:03 the salad with sweet potato, chicken, and everything.
9:05 I do think this is going to be my new lunch rotation.
9:08 I kind of like obsess over a food for a month
9:10 or two or like a meal or like a breakfast.
9:12 And I think this is probably going to be the one
9:15 that I make a lot because it's so good and easy.
9:18 My days are always so much better when I work out in the morning.
9:21 Like working out in the morning and making my bed are
9:23 the two things that really change the trajectory of my day.
9:28 [music] This year you guys are going to be
9:30 seeing a lot more of me in my kitchen.
9:33 If you've watched me, you know that I've been really trying to cook
9:36 more and I've actually been enjoying it more.
9:38 Something I never thought I would say.
9:40 It's definitely been a progressional thing for me.
9:42 I didn't just wake up one day and like to cook.
9:44 And I'd still say I'm not fully there yet.
9:47 So, I like something that's easy and convenient,
9:49 which is why I was so excited when GreenChef asked to work with [music] me.
9:53 Green Chef makes things so much simpler
9:54 for me because it takes off the grocery shopping,
9:57 the ingredient prepping, and being a lazy girl chef myself,
10:00 I really appreciate that.
10:02 I decided to personalize mine.
10:03 I like that you can do that.
10:04 You can choose high protein meals, high fiber meals, whatever your goals are.
10:08 So, the one I'm going to make tonight
10:09 is a chicken pesto and rice bowl with squash.
10:13 I recently started liking squash.
10:14 All the ingredients are pre-measured,
10:17 which just like makes for such less of a mess, too.
10:20 I think this is a really good thing if you're trying to cook more,
10:22 but like you're not fully there like me.
10:24 I'm definitely going to be using this a lot.
10:26 I'm sure you guys will be seeing me use this often this year.
10:28 I'm really excited to cook and I'm also
10:30 cooking for my boyfriend because this makes two meals.
10:32 So, he's going to come over for dinner and I love cooking for him.
10:36 I've found it's like part of an act of service that is
10:39 one of my love languages that I never knew about until recently.
10:42 So, I'm going to start cooking.
10:43 But, if you guys want to check out Greenchef,
10:45 you can go to greenchef.com/sigraza and use
10:48 code sigraza to get started with 50% off
10:50 with GreenChef and get a free Graza olive
10:52 oil set in your second and third boxes.
10:54 Again, it's code sidraza at greenchef.com/sidgraza.
10:59 Let's get cooking.
11:05 [music] [music] After the chicken and veggies were cooked,
11:25 I put in the pre-made pesto that they had,
11:27 some lemon, and then I dished the plates out with the rice, the [music] peas.
11:31 This was so good.
11:32 Like re-watching this back while I'm editing, I want it again right now.
11:36 I really want to reorder actually this specific meal from them.
11:39 So good.
11:39 And something I felt really like proud
11:41 to make considering I usually cook very simple meals.
11:44 My boyfriend and I devoured the screen chef probably [music] within 5 minutes.
11:47 I wish you guys could taste this.
11:48 It's so good.
11:49 Definitely a recipe I'm going to start making for dinner.
11:52 We're probably on rotation now.
11:53 We both approve and recommend.
11:55 10 out of 10.
11:57 Good morning, guys.
11:58 Happy Wednesday.
11:59 This was technically my first meal of the week where I ate out.
12:02 I've been trying to eat out a lot less.
12:03 So, I was working out and I just picked up this breakfast bowl.
12:07 Kind of random.
12:08 Not something I'd like usually order, but it was pretty good.
12:10 And then I went back home where I'll update you.
12:13 Good morning.
12:15 Actually, good afternoon.
12:16 I'm sorry.
12:17 I'm sorry I didn't vlog this morning.
12:19 It's 400 p.m.
12:20 Sorry.
12:21 Wow.
12:21 There's always one day when the vlogging is just not up to par.
12:25 I am deathly sore from yesterday's workout.
12:28 Like my whole body, every minor ligament,
12:31 areas I didn't even know could be sore are sore.
12:33 I really don't want to do like a whole
12:35 strength training workout today cuz I need to like chill.
12:38 But I do want to just like get my steps in.
12:39 Honestly, the biggest motivator I have for getting my steps
12:42 in is I find that it helps me sleep better.
12:44 On days where I don't get my steps in, I
12:46 just find it like I'm more restless at night.
12:48 And instead of going to the gym,
12:49 recently I've been liking to just walk around the mall.
12:52 I find it a lot more fun and like interesting.
12:55 I used to do this back home in Minnesota at the Mall of America.
12:58 I just like walk around to get my steps in.
13:00 And it's kind of fun.
13:01 I feel like, you know what?
13:02 I think a lot of seniors do this.
13:03 No shame.
13:04 Why am I doing it then?
13:06 I don't know.
13:06 It's just a lot more fun and I like really enjoy it.
13:08 Sometimes I like get on a call for 45 minutes while I'm walking around.
13:11 So, I'm going to go do that and then I am going to figure out dinner.
13:15 I have no idea what I'm going to do yet
13:18 for that, but let's go take a little casual walk in the mall.
13:23 Off I go to the mall.
13:24 I was starting really bleak 2300 steps.
13:27 So, I had a lot of work to do.
13:29 I was there for about an hour just walking around.
13:31 I had my favorite podcast by Rob Dial going, The Mindset Mentor.
13:35 Oh, I also called my mom, I think, for like half of it.
13:37 I kind of love this time.
13:38 It's like time to myself.
13:40 And then on the way home,
13:41 I stopped at the grocery store to pick up a couple things for dinner.
13:44 [music] All right, guys.
13:49 I've made it back home.
13:50 I took the smart route this time and I
13:53 Ubered because if you watch my recent vlog,
13:55 I decided to walk home one day with all of my heavy groceries
13:58 and I got like such bad shoulder pain from that that lasted a whole week.
14:03 It makes me sound very um unathletic when I say that story,
14:07 so I kind of hate talking about it,
14:09 but I Ubered with my grocery bags cuz I had so many.
14:12 I picked up a ton of stuff for dinner.
14:14 I want to make a little cottage cheese.
14:16 All right, stay with me.
14:17 It's going to be good.
14:18 Trust me.
14:18 Like cottage cheese over toast with tomatoes that are roasted.
14:22 I saw it on Tik Tok.
14:23 Tik Tok is where I seem to go for like majority of my recipes nowadays.
14:27 So, I wanted to get ingredients for that.
14:28 That was the main reason I went.
14:30 And then I also just like needed to stock up on a few extra groceries.
14:33 I got a ton of snacks and things.
14:34 So, I wanted to show you.
14:35 I got these crackers.
14:37 These are my favorite.
14:38 I feel like a broken record.
14:39 I talk about them all the time.
14:40 I like to pair those with these mini sweet bell peppers.
14:43 They are so good.
14:44 I obviously need a type of condiment for this combo.
14:47 So, I like to pair it with some hummus.
14:49 I just got this garlic roasted hummus.
14:50 These three together on a platter.
14:52 So delicious.
14:52 Like the best healthy snack.
14:55 Some cilantro.
14:56 I'm thinking of making avocado toast with that sourdough.
14:59 You guys are going to be tired of that s
15:01 [clears throat] sourdough by the end of this.
15:02 I got some fresh blueberries for like maybe yogurt in the morning.
15:06 Some milk.
15:07 I do drink regular Why am I holding this like a child?
15:10 That's a weird natural position that I took this upon.
15:13 I could go on a whole like 5 minute spiel
15:15 about milk and I'm just going to spare you all.
15:17 I used to drink oat milk.
15:19 I don't have a problem with people that drink oat milk.
15:20 I still like oat milk sometimes, but feel like a lot of it's marketing.
15:23 I don't think it's like completely needed.
15:24 [music] Some people I think truthfully like do react poorly to dairy milk.
15:28 I think some people are like prone
15:29 to breaking out and acne and like stomach issues.
15:32 Lactose intolerance.
15:33 Like that's totally different than me.
15:35 I can't even speak on that.
15:36 In my opinion, I love milk and I've been drinking
15:39 regular milk for like a year and luckily for me,
15:42 I haven't had like any breakouts.
15:43 Hasn't caused any like any stomach issues.
15:45 So, that's just my milk journey.
15:47 My milk journey that no one no one asked for.
15:50 And then the cottage cheese, which is going to be a part of my dinner.
15:54 I got these mini cherry tomatoes because I am making essentially it's
15:58 toast with cottage cheese and roasted baby tomatoes with like a garlic paste.
16:03 I also got garlic paste.
16:04 Wow.
16:04 worst haul ever because I didn't show that.
16:06 So, apparently all you do for this is
16:08 just throw some cherry tomatoes, some olive oil,
16:12 and then some garlic paste into a pan and like roast it in the oven.
16:18 [music] [music] All right, I guess we just say a prayer,
16:24 throw it in the oven, and hope for the best.
16:27 This is what the tomato mixture currently looks like.
16:29 and I'm going to throw in the oven.
16:31 Get started on my sourdough.
16:37 So, I just pulled the tomatoes out of the oven.
16:40 They smell so amazing.
16:42 She said you should be able to mash them a little bit.
16:44 They mix in really well with the garlic.
16:47 Now, I'm just taking my cream cheese
16:49 and putting [music] it on my toasted sourdough.
16:51 Some of the tomatoes with the garlic sauce.
16:55 I love balsamic glaze.
16:57 And I spent so long at the store looking for this.
16:59 So, I'm going to add a little bit of this on top.
17:04 All right.
17:05 And there we have it.
17:05 It looks really good.
17:07 I'm really curious how this tastes.
17:09 Oh, I hope it's good.
17:14 Usually, I feel really strongly one way or the other,
17:16 but in this instance, I sort of am neutral, which is really boring.
17:20 I thought I would like have a very strong reaction.
17:22 It's good.
17:22 I would I'm definitely going to eat this whole thing,
17:25 but I don't think I would like go out of my way to make this again.
17:28 I think if anything, I would just like rather make bruschetta.
17:33 [music] So, I got into bed and I got really tired.
17:36 I've just been on my phone doing absolutely nothing.
17:38 But I did eat some of these smart sweets.
17:41 They're so good and I ate the whole thing.
17:44 I do want to say this is not I probably should have said this earlier.
17:48 This is not a what I eat in like a day or a week video.
17:51 I'm not showing every single thing I eat in by far.
17:53 I'm kind of just showing you guys some of the healthier
17:56 things I've been trying to do during the week.
17:57 I'm going to read a little bit more of my Bible before bed.
18:00 And then in the morning, I have a workout class at Aloe.
18:04 It's not a workout class, it's Pilates.
18:06 My roommate and I are going to go.
18:07 Love you.
18:08 Night.
18:11 Good morning, guys.
18:13 I am really tired [music] right now, but I am getting ready to go work out and I
18:18 have to leave in 10 minutes because I snoozeed my alarm.
18:21 Yeah, this is a big problem for me.
18:22 I've been trying to like not snooze my alarm in the mornings.
18:25 It just creates so many problems.
18:27 This is my little workout fit.
18:29 I just have an aloe sports bra and leggings.
18:32 My bed's going to have to be made when I get back.
18:38 [music] [music] Yes.
18:51 Crunch.
18:51 You got three more.
18:52 Yeah.
18:53 Bit from here.
18:54 And crunch.
18:55 Three.
18:56 Two.
18:56 Come on.
18:57 Three.
18:58 There you go.
18:59 All the way down.
19:00 Shift [music] the hips back.
19:01 Booty is already on fire here.
19:03 In.
19:03 Yes.
19:04 Exhale.
19:04 Press it back up.
19:05 I'm dying.
19:06 That was so hard.
19:06 Especially cuz I'm so sore from my class two days ago.
19:09 I couldn't even speak throughout the class.
19:11 Like, I was dying.
19:12 But it was so good.
19:13 It was so fun.
19:14 And I'm like so grateful that I get to come here.
19:16 Look at this cute new top that they gave me.
19:18 How nice.
19:19 They gave me this little gray zip-up top with a little
19:22 sports bra and some pants that I still have to put on.
19:25 This is the best way to start my day.
19:26 I'm going to go [music] figure out breakfast cuz I'm really hungry.
19:30 I just got back to my apartment and the very
19:32 first thing I did was make myself food.
19:34 My go-to like breakfast when I'm really lazy
19:36 and just like want to throw something together is yogurt.
19:39 This is pretty much my staple yogurt bowl.
19:41 I put some unsweetened plain Greek yogurt and then
19:43 I put a little bit of maple syrup on top.
19:45 Put some cinnamon in, some granola, and then a ton of blueberries.
19:49 And that's my breakfast.
19:53 [music] Then I went to go do work,
19:55 which I had a iced vanilla latte with skim milk.
19:58 I'm trying to slowly taper off of vanilla in my lattes.
20:01 I don't know if this will ever
20:02 truly happen cuz I'm unfortunately addicted to it.
20:04 But then I was actually a bit hungry so I decided to pick up a smoothie.
20:07 This one had banana, strawberry, peanut butter, protein powder.
20:11 And then for dinner, I had my sourdough.
20:13 Again, I'm obsessed with the sourdough with eggs,
20:15 some of the tomato from the night before, cilantro, and avocado.
20:18 So, I just kind of like made it up, threw things together.
20:21 It was It was pretty good, though.
20:22 It did what it needed to [music] do.
20:26 Good morning.
20:27 Happy Friday.
20:28 The first thing on my mind this morning was coffee.
20:31 And I think I'm just going to make some at my apartment.
20:34 [music] I've recently started to make it at home, which usually I would go out,
20:37 but I think it's a lot better to make it at home,
20:40 at least sometimes, just because obviously getting coffee out, it adds up.
20:44 It's expensive.
20:45 I'm going to show you guys what I've been doing.
20:46 This is very basic and I don't have a coffee machine.
20:49 I've been debating getting one.
20:51 Starting out with ice in a glass, of course.
20:54 First step, I'm taking some blonde roast.
20:56 I really like this like unsweetened blonde roast.
20:57 So, I'm pouring this in my glass.
21:00 Coffee is in here.
21:01 Now, I'm taking a little bit of some low-fat milk and pouring a splash of this.
21:08 For the most important part, I'm taking this creamer from Chobani.
21:12 This is their zero sugar sweet cream creamer.
21:14 [music] And I really have been liking this.
21:18 And that's it.
21:19 That's my like very basic easy latte.
21:24 [music] Friday ended up being extremely tame for me.
21:29 As you can see, one of the things I did was I made
21:31 a chamomile tea and I edited the vlog that you're actually watching right now.
21:35 Pretty much just sat at this new monitor that I got all day.
21:39 I also somehow feel more qualified to be a YouTuber now that I have a monitor,
21:42 even though I went 11 years without having one.
21:44 One of my many snacks throughout this day
21:46 were these mini sweet bell peppers with the hummus.
21:49 You guys know how much I love this.
21:55 As you guys saw, I'm eating these peppers for my snack.
21:58 I'm really sad that I ran out of my crackers
22:00 because I would be eating those with it.
22:02 This is really tripping me out that I'm
22:04 filming and I'm also editing the same video.
22:06 Telepathy, I guess.
22:08 I decided to take a break from just sitting
22:10 at the desk like I've been doing all day.
22:12 I wanted to just like move my body a little bit,
22:14 but I don't want to like go fully work
22:16 out since I'm so sore from yesterday and this week.
22:19 Something I've been getting into, which I
22:21 never really used to care about, is stretching.
22:23 I actually used to be a pretty competitive gymnast
22:24 when I was younger and I was so flexible.
22:27 And recently I realized just how stiff I am and like I can barely move.
22:32 I actually don't want to get into it.
22:33 It's going to sound bad and embarrassing for me.
22:35 But I've learned the importance of stretching and that it's
22:38 actually there are a lot of benefits to it.
22:40 So I've been just putting on like little 10-minute YouTube videos.
22:43 Nothing crazy.
22:44 I really like doing this before bed because it kind
22:46 of winds me down and it like d-stresses my mind.
22:49 I'll try to like link some of the stretching videos that I like below.
22:53 I usually just do like the quick 10-minute ones.
22:55 Nothing crazy.
22:56 And I just do it like right here
22:57 on my rug because I don't have a yoga mat currently.
23:01 Really nothing fancy.
23:02 If you have access to YouTube,
23:03 which you do if you're watching this video, then you can do it, too.
23:07 So, that's what I love about it.
23:08 Anyone can pretty much do it.
23:15 [music] [music] [music] Hey guys, I am getting ready for bed now.
23:33 I'm having actually a very early night in, you know, Friday nights in.
23:37 This is 25.
23:39 All right, I got to stop with that.
23:40 I'm definitely not perfect when it comes to this.
23:42 I have good days.
23:43 I have bad days.
23:44 I eat junk food sometimes.
23:46 Like that's not the point of this.
23:47 But I hope this has kind of inspired you
23:49 to just like maybe cook at home a little bit more.
23:51 Maybe make small changes like I've been trying to make.
23:54 It's really about the small things and like
23:56 don't you don't have to go overboard.
23:57 I know I talked about this in my New Year's vlog,
23:59 [music] but I'm proud of us this week.
24:00 I think we did pretty well.
24:02 Thanks for supporting me.
24:03 I love you guys and I'll see you in my next vlog.
24:07 Bye.
