22
There will be more workout videos, but I'm down working out, so.
23
yippee, I feel great.
24
I figure I've been bulking for like a month ish and I've gained almost 10 pounds.
25
I have not been keeping the best track.
26
I'm doing a little intuitive gaining right now, but I think that I have gained a little bit of weight, so that's cool.
27
And it's been like a month, but now I'm doing a different program that I'm super excited about.
28
It's like my old program, but better, so keep your eyes prepared for that.

Yummy. It's all very simple because I don't care to be sophisticated.
36
Just cannot be bothered.
37
All right. it's lemon bar time time for the lemon bar.
38
It was kind of gooey, so that's why I put it in this container.
39
And this was the smallest container I had.
40
This is just a regular lemon bar from the grocery store.
41
I think it could it could be more lemony.
42
Some people may ask Patty if you could make that into, like a protein version.
43
I'm sure I could.
44
I'm not going to I'm going to just have the real thing because protein alternatives are really great a lot of times.
45
But sometimes you just need the real thing and there's nothing wrong with that.
46
Enjoy the real thing.
47
You're only alive once, so live ... or make the alternative.
48
Do whatever you want.
49
It's your prerogative But for me personally especially, especially if I'm, like, really craving something in particular.
50
I wasn't really craving a lemon bar, but I just.
51
I had it, so that's why I'm having it.
52
But if I was really craving something in particular, for me personally, I do find it best to have some of what I'm craving so that I don't feel extremely dissatisfied and potentially binge on something at some point.
53
Just, sometimes you need something specific to feel satiated and that is okay.
54
Not a single crumb left behind from the lunch and snack.
55
Oh my gosh, I was just getting ready to see if he would do zoomies with me and run around.

82
The woman you are There's still ice on this.
83
Looks like the defrosting.
84
Is not going well.
85
What the frick?
86
Usually they're separated with, like, a piece of paper.
87
Hopefully the paper is not in there.
88
Holy moly. These bad boys are sizzling.
89
All right, my dinner turkey burgers.
90
Onion bagel with butter, carrot, strawberries.
91
I've also been drinking water throughout the day.
92
Bon appétit.
93
Stinky onion bagel.
94
Ooh. Delicious.
95
You might think that's crazy that there's no sauce on there, but I think there's just enough fat that they're still pretty moist.
96
So I might add sauce anyway. But it's still pretty good.
97
I think I'm gonna get some mustard.
98
Hard to go wrong.
99
A little mustard to make something amazing.
100
Turkey burger.
101
Yummy. Have a bite.
102
have a bite.
103
thumbnail And these, I will say for Senor Pookie so that he can also have a nice little treat.
104
Senor. Hey.
105
Hi, senor. This is for you Yeah.
106
Yeah. There you go.
107
Handsome. Handsome boy.
108
Look, how big is chompers?
109
You're getting shish pookie Look at these ones.
110
Oh, hey. Oh. Hell, no.
111
Oh, my lord.
112
All right. I'm about to show you guys a crazy hack.
113
But first, look at these mugs my aunt gave me.
114
Brother, may I have some oats?
115
No. All right, here's a hack.
116
Protein powder.
117
I'm using gorilla mind cookies and cream.
118
use whatever you like.
119
But if you want to use this brand code beef to save it, check out one scoop.
120
Now, water. Just a little bit.
121
A little bit.
122
That's enough.
123
Mix it. Now it's like.
124
That consistency.
125
If you want it to be runnier, you can add more water.
126
But I'm going to do this consistency.
127
Ice cream I have this brand.
128
This brand is actually pretty cool because sometimes there's people that are like, additives, words I can't pronounce.
129
Laundry list, ingredient list, which, you know, is fine.
130
This ice cream is like not a lot of ingredients.
131
So this is a cool option.
132
I feel like that mentality about like the laundry list is valid in a lot of ways.
133
I try not to demonize foods too hard because this ice cream was like frickin 8 or 9 bucks, which is really expensive.
134
And not everybody has 8 or 9 bucks right now to spend on a little pint of ice cream.
135
So I think it's fine.
136
I think it's fine to enjoy ice cream even if it's not, you know, like three ingredients.
137
But anyway, try to be understanding of everyone's situation as best you can.
138
Okay? Ice cream.
139
See, I also have this one in my freezer, which is like regular ice cream with a bajillion laundry list ingredients.
140
I just got the other one because it's kind of rare to find, and so I wanted to try it, but I do.
141
We both. I do eat the laundry list and the clean, so, you know, good and evil.
142
Hopefully there the chemicals in the pure ingredients are fighting each other in my body and balancing out somehow.
143
Anyway, now we add this on to the ice cream.
144
And lastly, I like to add some frozen fruit.
145
Usually I like to add frozen blueberries.
146
I don't have any right now.
147
I have these frozen strawberries. There's literally.
148
Three crusty, dusty, musty frozen strawberries left.
149
I think this might actually make it worse, but, They're going in.
150
And there you have it.
151
A delicious, higher protein packed frozen treat that doesn't taste completely like the thing that it was from the start.
152
I don't know if any of that that I said made sense.
153
If it did to you. That's awesome.
154
Our brains are now one brain, so welcome to my brain.
155
Yummy. Milk.
156
I don't care what anybody says.
157
A nice glass of milk just hits different.
158
This is nonfat milk so it's really not hitting right.
159
But is milk nonetheless.
160
Yummy. This is lactose free milk.
161
My mom used to like to say, Patricia, you're lactose intolerant.
162
Even as a little kid, she told me I was lactose intolerant.
163
I said, mother, how could that be?
164
I'm tolerating it.
165
I'm literally tolerating it.
166
And I still tolerate it to this day.
167
Let it be known a few minutes later.
168
All right. Now, ideally I would like to get more protein in, but that's going to be tough right now because I don't like have any readily available.
169
Usually I'd have just a bunch of chicken straight up, but.
170
Silly me, I didn't defrost it, so that's a bummer.
171
And I don't really want more of that beef, nor do I want those scrum diddly.
172
Turkey patties.
173
So let's see.
174
I have a steak that I forgot about I don't really want this either.
175
what do you think, guys?
176
Is that too raw? I'm not really sure.
177
But it's a steak, so I feel like it's fine.
178
Sometimes people be critiquing my cooking like, I know what the frick I'm doing.
179
I don't, okay, it's not that big of a deal.
180
It ends up edible like 95% of the time.
181
So some steak.
182
I'm really tired now, and I want to go to sleep, so you know what time it is?
183
Milk time. That first glass just wasn't enough.
184
It never is.
185
I usually don't have two glasses of milk in a day.
186
One, because I usually get the food in from, like, whole food.
187
And two, that milk is pretty expensive, so I don't want to just be drinking it willy nilly, you know what I mean?
188
Really got to savor it.
189
well. Savored.
190
Okay. And that is it for the day.
191
So here's the totals of everything.
192
Please. Disclaimer do not do not, do not eat exactly what I eat and expect to get the same results as me.
193
Do not eat exactly what I eat.
194
Expect to look exactly like me.
195
Do not do that with anybody else either.
196
No matter what they tell you, your body is unique and special, as is everybody else's.
197
So you have your own needs.
198
You're on your own journey.
199
Explore your options and live your life.

Practice Tips
To make the most out of this lesson, try practicing shadowspeak, a technique where you mimic the video speaker's rhythm and intonation. Start by listening to short segments of the transcript, paying attention to the speaker's tone. Repeat what you hear immediately after, striving to match their pace. Since the speaker maintains a conversational and relaxed tone, feel free to practice without pressure, allowing yourself to enjoy the process of learning English with YouTube.
Recite the vocabulary items aloud, incorporating them into your own sentences. For example, you might say, "I prefer cottage cheese in the morning because it is high in protein." This practice will help solidify your understanding and use of these terms in daily English speaking practice.
Finally, consider keeping a journal of your meals or workouts using English. This can provide context to the vocabulary you have learned and prepare you for discussing various topics in English, including those that may come up during IELTS speaking practice. Remember, the more you engage with the language in a meaningful way, the more fluently you'll be able to express yourself.
What is the Shadowing Technique?
Shadowing is a science-backed language learning technique originally developed for professional interpreter training and popularized by polyglot Dr. Alexander Arguelles. The method is simple but powerful: you listen to native English audio and immediately repeat it out loud — like a shadow following the speaker with just a 1–2 second delay. Unlike passive listening or grammar drills, shadowing forces your brain and mouth muscles to simultaneously process and reproduce real speech patterns. Research shows it significantly improves pronunciation accuracy, intonation, rhythm, connected speech, listening comprehension, and speaking fluency — making it one of the most effective methods for IELTS Speaking preparation and real-world English communication.
