E10 - I'm Not Doing Well

This episode was recorded a week after George Floyd's death. The country is at unrest for so many reasons.  It's the first time Casey begins to show that he is really struggling and not sure what to do.  If you want to know what the honest struggle of weight loss sounds like, this is the episode for you. 

The most frustrating part of seeing somebody's weight loss journey is that you only see the before and after and you never get to hear how they felt during the process.  Casey takes time in this episode to address all of the struggles that occurred during his transformation.  It gets pretty heavy so hang on. 

In this episode we talk about my time with Slim Fast, how travel can be good and bad for the diet and the thing one of my closest friends said to me that finally made me diet again. 

In this episode, Casey debunks the weightlifting myths and makes a case for hiring a trainer.  He talks about his friend Eddie helping him out of his depression and getting him back into the gym. 

Casey takes time in this episode to talk to you about how he runs and how he became a runner.  The takeaway is that it's a struggle and maybe after listening to this episode you won't have to struggle like he did. 

On this walk, Casey talks about how he didn't bother incorporating fitness for at least two months after he started his weight loss transformation.  He also pet a cat.  So, all that on this episode!

In this episode we take a walk while I talk about my daily happy hours as a mortgage banker and how I forgot to eat after knee surgery. 

We dive into how I lost 43 pounds in 2003.  We talk about how it came back too.  Most importantly, we discuss mindset and all of the complications your mind creates when trying to do something so simple. 

Had to take a bike ride this week due to injury.  But I was surprised that the audio hung in as well as it did. We talk about Bally's, the numbers and what it really takes when you work out. (Spoiler: Not as much as you think)

Casey introduces you to himself, his backstory and delivers exactly how he lost 60 pounds. Every episode, Casey records the podcast while taking a walk outside on his AirPods so forgive him in advance for less than producer quality audio!
