Hi Joey, a mindshift, if i may be so bold; you are not doing this to compare with your past self but for your future self-your 80 year old self so you can live independently and have freedom of movement!
. . . IMHO . . . regarding "I'm just me" . . . what do you mean, "just" you??? YOU have chosen a most honorable lifetime career of shaping young lives - our future generations...without you, how many precious young minds would miss out on your valuable knowledge, experience & wisdom . . . with your expertise, you could be earning so, so much more, yet you, clearly, have a heart & soul like few others . . . you are so loved, respected & greatly admired, Joey . . . May God Bless You with the Blessings you so deserve . . . 🥰🥰🥰
@@gaBetibu I love working with HS Students. Yes, I could make two-three times as much If I went back into the workforce, but the satisfaction I get each day watching them absorb the information and take certification exams and get industry credentials while still in HS is just so satisfying. Thanks so much for understanding.
You are STRONG! Your muscles are well defined too. You GO!!! The food all looks really good. I try to keep my protein at about 100 grams, so I use a lot of TVP. It''s so versatile. I do protein shakes too. I really appreciate seeing a full day of activity and eating. It's a great model to follow that we can customize to ourselves. Hope you and your family have a GREAT Holiday Season!
Thank you Joey, and Happy Holidays to you all (your home looks so festive, and the birds so very cute!). We can't get soy curls over here, not sure why - we get all the other soy products - your food looks delicious. Do you think Tim would do an episode on 'Magic Mojo' foods? To a great plant based 2025! Be proud of your efforts this year Joey - and thank you for all the videos documenting it all, learned a lot, and no doubt there is more to come. Sending hugs!
Merry Christmas! 🎄Hope you enjoy the Holidays!😃 Awwww you made my day feeding the hummingbirds! 🤗❤❤❤❤I LOVE them! ⭐️😃⭐️! Thanks for all the recipes toooo!😃❤️🎄💚🎄
Hi Joey and Tim. Joey, I think you look incredible, so muscular and trim. I think you are way too hard on yourself. You have accomplished so much and are kind enough to share it with others. Thank you for your kindness and generosity. Wishing you a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
Joey, loved your refrigerator setup with the salad items. Do you keep them uncovered? How long does the lettuce last like that? Do you supply once or twice a week? At the moment I use the ikea glass containers but I put lids on them. It would be nice to set up the bottom drawer like you have it. You’re looking great.
Hi Karen. I keep all of it covered with the covers that came with the contiainers. Then, if we are feeling snackie or if we want to make a salad, I open them up and take what we need. I have lots of those glass containers from IKEA too. Love them. I put all our leftovers in those. Thanks so much for the thoughtful comment.
For those who have tried soy curls and didn't like them, here is how I treat them - takes a little longer, but taste is much better and even my non-vegan daughter likes them. My first soak is hot water to totally cover, let them sit for 15-30 minutes, mix around a few times. Then drain, rinse and squeeze all the water out - the water will look yellow and that is what you are trying to get rid of, it can leave a weird taste. Then I cover them with hot broth/marinade of some kind, and let them sit for a least 30 minutes to soak up the flavor. Then I drain again and squeeze lightly, you want some of that marinade to stick around. Then I put it in the skillet to brown and finish with whatever sauce is called for. It kind of depends on your taste buds as to how you react to soy curls, some think they are fine with just an initial soak and then cook, others find them kind of disgusting unless extra steps are taken, some even do 2 initial soak/rinses before using marinade and then cooking. It's not a lot of work, you just have to plan ahead earlier in the day. Or, if you don't have that kind of time the day of, then you can prepare them the night before and just let them sit in the marinade in the fridge until ready to cook. Anyways, that is very interesting about height influencing weight and muscle - just goes to show, there are many factors influencing our bodies and everyone has to find the right balance for them and not constantly compare themselves to some set standard. You look pretty fit, Joey, so take the W and continue on with your program.
Hmmmm, I haven’t finished the video yet but ya I think more clearly defined objective goals may help ya such as I want to be x % body fat. Realistically a super low body fat is not something to be maintained year round. You can wear gloves to protect your hands from the weights. Also if you want different results you may find it from different form When you lift. Looked like there was a lot of jerking movements to create momentum and that wont give you gains you may be looking for. I love your water fountain and I think you are doing amazing! Keep it up!
I do have clearly defined objectives. That is what the last year of videos is about. My body fat started at 33% and is at about 25%. I want to be at 15% and I have achieved that by understanding how a person of my size has a much lower BMR and making sure I stay at a calorie deficit each day. I have come up with all new meals to match my macros as well as a 3-4 day a week workout plan for resistance training and protecting my muscle while I try and burn off the fat. That is a standard cutting idealogy. I would say my objective are very clear. I like the gloves idea for sure. I am not really worried about the dirt on my hands at the gym, but I am worried about forgetting to wash my hands before I make a meal sometimes. I think a pair of workout gloves would be a great idea for that. Thanks so much for watching and commenting. I appreciate you.
First Joey, you are looking really great. Second, I feel your pain at being short. I am female, 63 and am 5'1". Currently, down to 112 from 119 starting in June. I would like to get down to 107 but seem stuck. Depending on what calculator I use, I would probably need to go down to 1200 calories a day or less to lose the remaining weight. I do moderately intensive aerobics at least 6 days a week and trying to get in 3 days a week light resistance/strength workouts. I just started to track my macros yesterday. I am not a big eater and yesterday only had around 1000 calories and that was a pretty much a typical day of eating.
I am going to do a whole video about why short people cant lose fat like taller people for the simple fact that we just have less muscle mass on us because we are smaller.
@@PlantBasedDads. . . this is so interesting....I had never heard of this view regarding our height affecting our weight loss efforts...interesting.... 😊
Im not a macro coach but I am 5’4” woman and my macros are higher than yours and I do not workout. Considering that you are lifting you may consider increasing your macros/total kcals per day in order to grow your muscles. Ya gotta feed em!
I am actually trying to lose fat, not grow muscle. I am cutting, not bulking. That's the reason for the deficit. The working out and protein is to maintain the muscle I have during this period.
@@PlantBasedDads i think your cut has been too long then. If your goal seems unachievable, it may take two cutting phases with a bulking phase in the middle to reach your goals in a healthy manner and on a sustainable level. It is not out of the ordinary to be doing bulk phases and cutting phases on a loop, of course with some rest phases.
@ and you are a “math guy” :) so if you’re basically recompositioning your body then you would understand increasing muscle will relate to a change in proportions and ultimately of lowering body fat right?

Thanks so much Barb! It has been a year of giving it everything I have.
Toasting the walnuts briefly in the air fryer ups the flavor tremendously!
Yes, I agree, That is a great tip for sure.
My therapist says not to compare myself to others. She says to be better than I was yesterday.
I think that is the key to everything in life.
. . . oooh, I love this valuable reminder - it is definitely "Poster-size worthy" . . . 😊

We are learning together, Maria. Have a great holiday
I bought your suggested fridge salad containers and created my salad bar and LOVE it❣️
So glad to hear it. We love it also. And, if you need to use up all the chopped veggies, you already have a great soup starter!
Merry Christmas! 🎄Hope you enjoy the Holidays!😃 Awwww you made my day feeding the hummingbirds! 🤗❤❤❤❤I LOVE them!
⭐️😃⭐️! Thanks for all the recipes toooo!😃❤️🎄💚🎄
Happy holidays!
@ Awww thanks!❤️🤗By the way you look GREAT!! 💪👍🏻Thanks for sharing!! ❤️🎄💚❤️👋
@ Thanks so much! 😃🎄By the way YOU look GREAT!💪 You are getting it done!👍🏻❤️⭐️
You could try incorporating 2 mile runs or walking on incline for cardio, that could help with fat loss
I love your setup for the 🦅.
I am fascinated by the birds. So much fun, right?

Your salad bar is impressive, I am so jealous...
I love it!
Intermittent fasting! I eat 4 hours a day. 3 to 7. Works for me. While eating wfpb
Im short too (5'3 female) but i eat like 1700-2200 calories and maintain. I lift and do cardio though and about half your age😅
Nice guns!
Working hard every day! Thanks so much
I use soy curls a .ot- easy way to get in protein💕🎄
I like them too.
Ah and you can use a spoon to scoop the inside of a kiwi out of its skin! 🎉
Why didn't I already know that???? I am going to start doing that. Thanks for the tip.
Why bother peeling a kiwi? I scrub the outside, cut in chunks and throw that healthy little gem in the blender 🥝

@@zizzolizzo1 That is possible. I have read that you should take a 1 week break every three weeks for long term cutting.

Yes, I understand all that
