There's No Place Like Home

Oh yes, back on the waffle train. Home sweet home. It's good to be home. What is up everyone? So we're back in Ireland. I've been back for a couple of days, but I've just been kind of like running a few errands, unpacking, getting everything sorted. Like, you know, this morning when I got my haircut, I hit the bank, I got some groceries. There's not much that excites me more than a new nonstick ceramic pan. I am so white and nerdy. And I've just been settling back in, uh, kind of getting back into my routine and stuff. You know, as much as I love traveling, visiting other countries, I do love getting back into my routine, getting back into raw, you know, my kitchen and everything. So, you know, feels good, but I am actually going to be off traveling again soon. More on that later. But basically what I want to talk about is America, right? And it was the people that I was hanging out with. And you've probably heard like so many times, you've seen in all those motivational quotes surround yourself with, you know, positive, successful, outgoing people. And it's true, you know, after coming back from America, I'm driven, I'm pumped, I'm motivated. I just, just do shit, really get shit done. So yeah, it was a great experience, and you know, obviously networking, collabing, it was all fantastic. So we're back to the usual kind of scenes, the usual vlogs, um, but I've got a lot to sort this month. Let me see here. So today I've got my protein delivery, I've got to hit a workout, get all my emails done, open up some spaces for online coaching, haircut, tick. Um, I paid for a new website today, so I cannot wait to see the end result of that. Post on Instagram, that's, that's actually part of the job. Oh, and sort the next line of LF Gymwear. As you can see, it's all settled out and it is now replaced with a shoe rack. It's not very exciting, is it? And I have to contact a few companies, reply to them, and so on and so forth. So I'm happy to be back to like my planner and everything. But anyways, today I'm just going to take you along with the usual day, catch up with you guys because it's been a few days. Some cooking, some workouts, 3 big packages from these guys. I'm not too sure what's in them. I think I made that order a while ago and then that one's like a surprise. Let's crack them open. Actually, I just realized one of these is for Sarah because Sarah is now signed with Myprotein too. Very proud of her. Okay, so that was in the first box. Never seen that before. I've got the usual stuff: sugar-free syrup, ZMA, green tea flavor drops, protein cheese, loads of kind of like beef jerky stuff, the skinny cookies because we're getting shredded for the Olympia, and some protein dessert. The reason why I like Myprotein so much is because I pretty much just order food. Food half the time, so, you know, I'm cool with promoting that. And in that mystery box, there's just like some clothes and samples and a new shaker. Can never have enough shakers. Oh, there's that energy shot you wanted to try.

Does it look like I want to be in a vlog?

Sarah doesn't want to go on camera because she's in morning mode, but that's just what some— what she got. So she got a load of gym gear, high protein chocolate. What's up? Oh, very nice. Anyways, before I get my day started, I'm just gonna knock out a workout. It's pull day today, so back, biceps, and traps. Really gotta grow these team no traps. So I'm gonna get changed into a stringer. Have you noticed, like, what you're wearing has to correlate with the body part you're training? Like, if you train chest, you gotta wear something that shows off chest. Legs, put on leggings. You know what I mean. So put on something that shows off the back, even though this is a nice new t-shirt from Myprotein. I like the color. Let's go. Quick little meal that I'm putting together, just a nice garden salad and a turkey burger. I noticed when you got the little black stripes, I think it tastes better. Maybe it's in my head, it's kind of like barbecue. Did you ever just like sit in the car before the gym, just like mentally psyching yourself up to go in there and just abuse the weights. And also, of course, listen to some gym songs. How wireless are those earphones? Also, do me a favor, if you got any good gym songs, please write them in the comments. I'm always looking for gym music. I'm so bad at finding new music. But anyways, time to go in. I'm gonna start off with some pulldowns, move on from there. Holy titties, I was like about to pass out there towards the end, but there's such a good atmosphere in the gym today, like a lot of subscribers that I knew, and like people always say to me, they're like, Oh, I saw you in Raw and I didn't want to bother you. And I'm like, if you have time to watch my videos, I have time to talk to you in between sets. Honestly, I'm a very approachable guy, so please come up and say hello. It honestly makes my day. Um, so I'm gonna go home now. I'm gonna eat some food before I pass out. I'm already kind of like planning what I'm gonna eat. I'm thinking a big burrito bowl. Yeah, it's gonna be good. This is what is about to go down post-workout, the infamous burrito bowl. So I'm favorite recipe ever. For the protein, we're gonna go for ground beef. It's in there. So gonna add some protein cheese, and yes, that's something that actually exists. Kind of makes sense when you think about it because whey protein is a byproduct of dairy. Gonna use one of these cauliflower rice, or as I like to call it, poverty rice. You can get these in Tesco. Uh, some fajita sauce, that's very macro-friendly. The ingredients are like just tomatoes and stuff. Some beans, peppers, some more vegetables, mixed lettuce there. So Just literally throw it all together as you would a burrito bowl. The macros on that protein cheese are actually off the charts. That is what you're left with, and it makes plenty of servings. I had like a massive bowl of oats. I'm just in like a food coma. Oats make me sleepy, which is why I often have them before bed. Will you be in my vlog?

Yes, I'm back.

Say hello. I always wonder, will Sarah ever be as weird on camera as she is to me, like in real life? Joe, every single morning she jumps out of bed and starts singing and dancing. Not like every single morning, she puts on like a show.

What about you dancing in the shower this morning though?

Sometimes I like to dance as well. Just going for a nice little afternoon stroll with Sarah. And, um, so I know like with the traveling vlogs and stuff like that, I haven't been able to do as much informative content as like I would have liked to. Excuse the wind if there's any. And so if you guys want me to cover any topics, please let me know, comment down below. Because when people like— I literally just got an inbox today being like, bro, I completely transformed my physique from just watching your YouTube videos. And that makes me feel amazing. So let me know if there's any topics you want me to cover. I'm gonna do this cardio with Sarah. I'll catch up to you in a bit.

Okay, so we're at the racehorse track. Racehorse is over here, and this is my racehorse for the day. Now go jump over that.

You mean, wait, in between the two poles? Like walk along or jump?

Jump like a horse. Woo!

I'd like to see you do it. If you were on Takeshi's Castle, you would be shitting it right now. Right, for dinner I'm going to make some homemade burgers, so extra lean mince, and we got some Sandwich Slims here as well. They're like 100 calories per 2 buns. Probably add some salad to that, reduced sugar ketchup. There it is. I just threw a load of salad on the plate, just probably gonna eat it on the side too. And tomato, ketchup, reduced sugar and salt. And then I added some mushrooms and tomatoes on top of that too. That looks good as hell. Some close-up action. Right, so it is the end of the day. I just put up a Snapchat saying basically that my online coaching is available again because You know, now that I'm home for the next, like, not going anywhere for like 30 days. Vegas for the Olympia with Myprotein, which I obviously cannot wait for. But yes, I'm home for the foreseeable future, so I got plenty of time to, you know, take on some more clients and really focus in on it. And of course, the link is the first link in the description box if anyone would like to work with me directly. But yeah, so like, for once, I like have, you know, I'm on top of everything and I'm like, I'm like, do I have, do I have more to do? But like I actually don't. I've like ticked off everything on my list. So I think, I think I might watch some Netflix. Sometimes I actually forget that I have a Netflix account because I just never have time to watch it. And now I'm kind of in disbelief that I finally get to watch some Netflix. Wow. Remember what I talked about in a couple of videos ago? Feel free to watch TV and, you know, play Xbox and everything, as long as you're on top of your shit. So anyways, I'm gonna sign off here. Thank you so much for watching. I'll catch you in the next one. Keep it real.
