Morning Nutrition

Hi, folks, how are you? My name is Nick the poet from the Cadre Run club. How you doing today? Sorry, I forgot to get my light set up there. Thank you so much for joining my live stream. It's Saturday morning. It's about 1122 central standard time. Wherever you are, I hope you're having an awesome morning. On Saturdays, I like to do things a little bit differently than the other days. During the week, I like to have a little bit more of a restful mindset. I like to, you know, try new things. And today I wanted to go live and just talk to you a little bit about some nutritional stuff.

Hey, good morning. Happy Saturday. Junk food junkie. And I want to talk just about some nutrition stuff. So we have this thing called the Cadre Run Club, which is just a great group for anyone who wants to move, who wants to run, who wants to walk, who wants to exercise. We have an awesome Facebook group that you can join. Just type in Cadre Run club. And so, yeah, we'd love to see you over there. And just to clarify up front, I am not a nutritional expert. I am not a certified nutritionist or anything like that.

Hey, Risa, how's it going? Speaking of running, I know Risa recently completed a half marathon. Congratulations, Risa. Way to go. That is amazing. And so, yeah, just to clarify, I'm not a nutritional expert. These are just some things that have been helping me that I've been doing in the mornings. And so, one is I started taking this thing called athletic greens. So it's just kind of like a nutritional supplement. Energy and immune system, it helps gut health and digestion, and it's just really healthy.

And you kind of get your baseline nutrients, which, you know, is important for me to do. And so, yeah, and so that has been really helpful. And I've shared before that I'm on a weight gaining mission right now. So I'm eating all different types of food, and I feel like with this one, I'm getting the nutrients that I definitely need. And so, yeah, I'm on a quest to go from 165 pounds to 185 pounds by St. Patrick's Day, and I'm now over 170 pounds. So feeling good, you know about that. And I've been working on some strength training as well.

But, yeah, athletic greens is one thing that's been helping. And then I've also heard that it's really important to get protein in the morning. And so I've just been eating these builders bars, these protein bars, but I know if you get that protein in the morning, it can be super beneficial, and then you can never go wrong with bananas. So those are some foods that I eat in the morning. And then I've been trying to eat, like an actual breakfast, like eggs and toast. Thank you, Risa. Thank you. You are too.

And, you know, speaking of inspiring, that was really my 2022 motto, was aspire to inspire. Right? And that's one thing that Cadre is really doing. Like, we are inspiring people and to join the team, join the crew, that's what Cadre means. It's a team. And so we can be so much more when we're working together. Right. And my purpose this year is to eat, play, love. And so, you know, in the busy hubbub of the world, we're all trying to get a lot done. But I keep going back to the most important thing I've got to eat.

And that can mean a lot of things. Just being healthy. And then I'm working on infusing my work, which with play and working on bringing love to everything that I do. And so that includes these morning routines. And so another thing that I like to do in the morning is to go for a walk. Now, if you get that sunlight, even if it's not really sunny out, you get that light in the eyes in the morning. It apparently helps a lot with your sleep. And it can also just reset that clock. And a trick for you, too is if you bounce a tennis ball while you're doing it, it can practice some really good mindfulness.

Junk food junkie says apple in the afternoon is a great snack. It's full of vitamins and fiber. I love that. Apples, always junk food junkie. Thank you for reminding me. I'm going to get an apple today from the grocery store. Seriously underrated. Speaking of that, what are some other fruits that you all enjoy? I think that pomegranates. I haven't tried pomegranates in a while. Could be a good one. So you see, I sometimes have trouble staying on task, but I just wanted to hop on this live this morning and just share, you know, some of this nutritional stuff with you and how we could just keep making progress, you know, together.

And also stay tuned, there's an amazing live this afternoon. Doctor Kerry Mankey is going to be talking about New Year's resolutions. So definitely check that out. Tell your friends, you know, about the app we're building. The Cadre crew. Let's go. Have an awesome weekend. Talk to you later. Bye bye. Berries and oranges. Yes, berries and oranges and. Okay, jugfu. Junkie said blueberries are good as well. I almost signed off before we got that information out there. Blueberries? Yes. And you know, I've been doing a lot of oatmeal lately, too, which is another great food that I had kind of forgotten about.

So let's keep going, everybody. Let's keep going. We can do it. We can do it. Let's stay together. Cadre crew. Okay, talk to you later. Buh bye. Catch you on the flip side.
