 Hi guys. Hello. Hi, it's me. We are in the line at Starbucks. Welcome to a new vlog slash my update video because I'm trying to make my update videos a little bit more spicy and entertaining. More spicy? Yeah, like more entertaining. So I'm including Valerie. More spicy. Anyway, so we're in Starbucks. Tell them your Starbucks order. I like the Gouda and Bacon breakfast sandwich. And she gets really really sad when they don't have them. Very sad. And I get chai tea as you guys know. And she gets black iced tea, unsweetened iced tea with a bunch of humps of sugar. Yeah, what I'm doing since I stopped drinking diet beverages, I started off drinking iced tea that's sweet and now I'm starting to back off a little bit. So my plan is to just be able to use just a little bit of sugar as opposed to like all the sugar I'm using right now. But I kind of had to do that for a transition. We all understand that, don't we? Yeah. And you guys seem to love Valerie. So I'm just gonna force her to be in more of my videos. Okay. Hi, I'll have a grande iced chai tea with two pumps of vanilla, please. And I'll have a venti unsweetened iced tea with how many pumps? Make an eight with black tea. Black tea with eight pumps of sugar. Is that our liquid cane sugar or a classic? A liquid. Okay, you said eight? Yes, please. You've got anything else? And a Gouda sandwich. Okay. And that'll be all. Thank you. Okay, so guys, we're planning our five guys trip, which you will see a little... Like this, I should take my own drink like this. Yeah, because their drinks like cost so much money. Okay, I can do that. And since we're gonna, I mean... We're eating outside anyway, so. Okay. But anyway, that's a good tip for you guys. If you guys are eating at five guys or like anywhere, just take your own drink because it's like they charge you so much. Okay, that's good because I love to go to five guys. Yeah, but you'll see that in the next video. We've got a video of our five guys so they can see what I get. Yes. But it's not gonna be in this video because... Why? This is my Friday video. It'll probably be in another video. Sorry. Well, it took the continuity. But anyway, if I were directing this video, we would have the five guy meals illustrated as part of this video. This video is going up at 7 p.m. tonight and that's probably when we're eating. Yeah, I guess so. Sharon and I are going to Disney Springs. I might go Saturday. I might go depending on how I feel. Oh, Alex is gonna go with us. I have to get exercise. It's her happy place. One of her happy place. Because yes, it's a happy place and because of my weight. Yes, she wants... She's taking some steps to exercise. So every week at a minimum, we are going to either Disney Springs or Upcot to walk. Well, I also like to eat at that place over. Speaking of losing weight, but actually this is really very good because I go to that place that's... What's it called? Yasaki. Yasaki. I love to eat at Yasaki. Yasaki at Disney Springs. I don't think it's a very much of a diet place though because it could be the way Sharon eats it. But I get it on a bed of rice with the raw tuna with cucumbers and then I get extra yum yum sauce. Yum yum sauce. That's just called some real thing. It's yum yum sauce. Okay. If you've ever been to like like a Japanese steak house. Yeah. Well, of course you've been to a Japanese steak house. But anyway, they have yum yum sauce is one of the choices. Anyway, in the future Valerie's thinking about starting her own YouTube channel. I am. I am because I do this thing called universe responding. Yep. I just wanted to preface that. So in case the viewers watch this video, stay tuned for that. That's right. Probably we're talking about this fall. Yeah. Because I have some important tasks I need to get accomplished. Yes. During the summer. And then she can focus on her passion project. Right. Hi. How are you today? Good. How are you? I'm great. Thanks for asking. Okay, what are we doing? Are we toasting? Yeah. Okay. Cheers. Cheers. Hi guys. We are back outside once again because I don't know. I just like filming out here. And so I'm going to give you my fitness update for this week. And I actually haven't done anything today yet, which I'm going to probably after I film this and edit like the rough cut of this video. Also, do we like the new intro? Okay. So I don't ever really watch intros on YouTube. Like someone has like an intro that's like more than six seconds. Like I literally fast forward through that. I love the fact that I can just like put my name already start the vlog because no one watches intros. Like I don't know. It's just one of those things and the little beginning thing of people's vlogs where they put like the interesting things that happen. Like I don't even watch that either. Like I just want to get into the video. So I hope you guys enjoyed my little intro that just overlays on my video. So I can still have an intro but just get to the point, you know. So let me know what you guys think of my new intro. So moving on, I'm just going to get into what I did this week slash planning on doing. So on Sunday, I went out for a run and I ran 2.84 miles and burned 296 calories. I did the 28 minute one where you earn the 3k badge. So it just looks like that. I just pick certain runs to go on more the more advanced ones on my couch to 5k up because I don't really want to get the 10k one yet. I'm just it's summer and it's like I don't really feel like running that much on Monday. The footage from Monday is actually in the Wednesday vlog. If you watched my last vlog, you would see this footage. The 12 minute happy sweat and the killer abs workout and then on Tuesday, I don't work out. Wednesday, I went out on a run. I typically run in the evenings now because like I just don't like getting up as you guys know. So I ran at 2.8 miles. So I did the same run I guess. I picked the same run. So it's earning the 3k badge and I ran at 2.8 miles and burned at 290 calories. So I don't know runs are just like quick and easy efficient and I feel like I'm burning calories and strengthening my leg muscles. So that's why I just decided to run and then today I'm going to do and hopefully I'll put the footage in this video. So today, Friday, I'm doing an abs and fat burn workout and if you guys are wondering what the thumbnail looks like, this is what the thumbnail looks like. It's I think it's one of her newest workouts. So it'll be like interesting to try that. I guess I'll get back to you about how I feel about that workout. I'm gonna do an arm workout. I don't know which one yet and then a booty workout and I want to try the Ed Sheeran dance one. I'll probably again listen to my own music because I've just been listening to my own music for a while now and I just like it because I don't know. I just personal preference. I'm just getting used to just having my AirPods in. So that's pretty much what I did this past week and I know the footage and everything's kind of spread out. It is what it is and you guys still got to see everything. So it's good. I do still enjoy running but just not getting up early. So I am becoming more of a night runner. Moving on to the updates. I am feeling good in my body. I am not working out as long as I once did. Today is probably gonna be a good 45 minute day or 40 minute day rather but I just don't really feel like working out like an hour or 45 minutes all the time. So I typically am just doing the half an hour workouts or runs or whatever. Maybe 38 minute runs. That's kind of what the app is sharing with me. I don't know. I just want to kind of take it easy. Food wise has been great. Tonight we're having five guys as you guys know and I'm so excited for that. So food is going pretty well and just like yeah I don't really have anything else to say about that. I am happy with like how I'm eating and like watching portions and everything which leads us into the photos. I am so happy with my progress. Like I don't know why. I just I feel like I'm actually like losing my back fat which I'm so self-conscious about because I just don't like it. I'm sure all of us you guys included have insecurities and that's one of my biggest ones because when I was younger like I didn't have that so it was kind of weird to have. So that and then like my abdominal area and everything is just looking so good to me personally and it feels really good. So I'm really happy with that and I feel like I'm just you know taking it easy watching what I eat and just living life. So Alex on the left is the start of year 2 and then Alex on the right is current Alex and I feel like you can really see the definition in my waist area and then here's the side view of that. Again like I'm a lot less bloated and I don't know really what causes that. I feel like my overeating really contributed to me being like kind of bloated and stuff. So I don't really know. I'm not an expert at this. I just you know I'm taking it every day one step at a time and just making sure I'm just improving and everything. So yeah I hope you guys enjoyed this little fitness update. I hope you enjoyed me and Valerie at the beginning on our little Starbucks date because it's always super fun when we get Starbucks. Hope you guys enjoyed this. Make sure you give it a thumbs up subscribe to my channel and I'll see you guys in my next video. Bye!
