I really had to change that mentality, because you know it was killing me, and I think for me, that was probably the biggest hurdle I had to get over, because I never liked to meal prep and I never liked to cook for myself.
Ever thought about how a trip to McDonald's could lead to a life-changing journey? In this episode, Jay Casale sits down with Joanne Pollicella, a powerhouse who has shed 130 lbs and turned into a CrossFit enthusiast. Their conversation takes you through the aisles of Macy's and the sweat-soaked floors of CrossFit gyms, touching on everything from emotional eating to the highs of non-scale victories.
Joanne opens up about her struggles with depression and how it fueled her emotional eating habits. But this isn't just a story of weight loss. It's about mental health, self-love, and the surprising benefits of meal prep. Jay and Joanne discuss the mental hurdles she had to overcome, especially her dislike for cooking and preparing meals. One memorable moment is when Joanne says, 'I really had to change that mentality, because you know it was killing me'.
The episode dives deep into how CrossFit became more than just a workout for Joanne; it became a lifeline. The mental health benefits of exercise are highlighted, showing how physical activity can transform your mind as much as your body. The conversation is raw and honest, filled with moments that will make you reflect on your own habits and mindset.
