 Well, good morning. Welcome to today's what I eat in a day. Welcome back to my car in the dark It is 4 54 a.m. I'm on my way to boot camp. I am ready to kick off Week four officially of my fat loss cut with a good sweaty workout. It is actually really nice this morning It's about 45 degrees which is Perfect for working out outside. It's cool enough that you don't sweat as much but warm enough that you don't freeze So I'm definitely not mad about it. We've had some kind of weird weather weird weather for Arizona the last few days It's been pretty rainy and pretty dreary and normally it's always sunny here Even if it rains it's sunny. So it's been definitely a change of pace definitely a little bit more of a winter Vibe I know that it's going to rain a little bit later today I think later later today at least that's what I'm hoping because I do have some errands to run today So of course, I'll take you guys along with me. I just have some catching up errands to do I want to at least get my workout in start my day off on the right foot moving my body I did drink about half of my protein coffee this morning before I headed out We'll be having another coffee later this morning. My favorite my new favorite protein coffee Kencoction I actually shared that in last week's what I eat in a day. I have a reel on Instagram. I have the full recipe in my Facebook group I'm obsessed with it. It is my favorite thing. I've been having it every single day Speaking of my new favorite protein coffee. Yes, I will be making a video on so many ways to make it I just ordered a few things for that video for different coffee concoctions So I will be putting that video out in February. So we just have a busy productive day today So once I get my workout in I'm going to go home get ready for the day and I'll be back at breakfast So I am ready for the day. I will share my outfit of the day with you after breakfast, but I'm so hungry I'm ready for a good healthy protein packed carbohydrate filled fiber filled breakfast So what I'm going to do is one of the Thomas English muffins I'm going to basically be making a sausage egg and cheese breakfast sandwich So I'm going to use a Thomas English muffin one egg one slice Which I think is all that I have left of this Sardento ultra thin provolone cheese I'm going to put on one of these Applegate farm chicken maple sausages. These are so good. They're these sausage patties. I love them. They're absolutely Amazing. What are my new favorite food finds? So I'm going to go ahead and have a pair for some fruit So let's put together breakfast So here is my breakfast so I have my breakfast sandwich and a pair This is going to be the perfect way to start off my day as soon as we're done here with breakfast We'll mix up our post-workout supplements and I'll share my outfit of the day So, you know, I love motivate I really use a lot of their products at least a dozen of their products But I wanted to share with you my top four motivate supplements that I use for my weight loss journey and my fitness journey And why and what's really cool is right now motivate has an amazing deal Where if you buy one product you get a second 50 off So it's a great time to stock up on all your favorite motivate products or try New motivate products as well. So these four right here are my favorite supplements from motivate So you saw me mix up my water for the day my post-workout first cup of water And I always add in one scoop of the motivate creatine. I really like this because it has no flavor No texture. It dissolves beautifully in water And it's just a great way to get in creatine without any taste or texture You can literally mix this in plain water. Now, everyone should be taking creatine It really helps elevate your fitness game. It helps with endurance and allows you to push your limits further than ever It helps with rapid recovery increased workout performance. And then I always use the motivate recovery This has bcaas eaas. It's really good post workout to help you recover to help rebuild muscle To help with inflammation to help with soreness. I love it The kiwi strawberry is my all-time favorite flavor I always have backups of this one on hand and I mix one scoop of this and one scoop of creatine in with my water And it's my post-workout cocktail. I also love motivate burn. This helps me with focus energy fat burn metabolism boost This is the cotton candy flavor. I love this flavor, but you can't go wrong with any of the motivate burn flavors They also come in individual single-serve packets for travel and on the go This is just a really great product to add for that afternoon slump or even that post-workout or even pre-workout I've used burn as a pre-workout several times if i'm taking a long hike I'll definitely mix a scoop of burn in with my water in the morning to give me a little bit of extra motivation for My day and again, it really helps with metabolism boost focus and fat burn Like I said, I have a lot of favorites, but I had to narrow it down to my top four and number four is going to be motivate greens Motivate greens are delicious. This is the peach. I love the peach. It's my favorite flavor and also comes in tangerine The motivate greens are really great because they don't taste like typical grassy greens They do look like typical greens, but they taste Really good you get that nice peach flavor without any of the grassiness And this really helps me get in my greens because I just don't get them in through food So I do take my motivate greens at least three to four times sometimes more per week You just simply mix it in with water I do about eight ounces and just chug it down like a shot and it actually tastes really good And you're getting in all the benefits of greens I will link motivate down below for you with a discount code as well as all of the information on their current better me promotion So as promised, I do want to share with you my outfit of the day in my outfit is courtesy of Halara, I want to thank halara for sponsoring this portion of today's video I have done a halara haul in the past in fact this sweatshirt right here that I wore in a recent video So many of you reach out and asked where this little sweatshirt came from It is from halara and it's from my previous halara haul and I wear it all the time In fact, I wear a lot of my halara pieces on a very regular basis Especially my dresses in the summertime or when the weather is just a little bit nicer here in Arizona I just really love the quality of halara and they're really fantastic staple pieces to add to your wardrobe Some of the halara pants have went completely viral on tiktok. So I had to test them out I actually chose three of those viral halara pants a couple of dresses a jumper that my mind was blown A skirt that's actually a second to my collection because I love the first one that I picked up So much so many more pieces.

Now this outfit was a little bit unexpected So this top is actually a dress on the halara website Unfortunately for me because I am tall i'm 5'8. It's a little short for me I don't know that I would be comfortable wearing it out and even bending over in this dress So I decided to wear it as a top and paired it with a pair of those halara viral pants on tiktok So first up is my top which is actually the bow neck split hem waffle casual sweatshirt dress It is 34.95 and I picked mine up in the olive green shade. Now. I love this dress. I love everything about it I love the waffle pattern of it. I love the back how it has that Seaming down the back. It's very very flattering on the figure. I love that it has thumb holes So it's actually something you could wear and a little bit more sporty But like I said for me being so being taller, it's a little short on me Now, certainly if you're shorter than me, it's probably going to be the perfect dress quality of it is really really nice And I love green anything. I love this kind of army olive green My dress is in a size medium and it fits me perfectly now Maybe if I would have gotten a large it might have been a little bit longer I'm not sure but I decided to wear it as a top and pair it with a pair of the jeans that have went viral on tiktok These are the halara magic mid rise stretchy boot cut jeans I got mine in the black gray color in a size medium. They are 59 95 Now like I said, there's a few pairs of pants that have went viral on tiktok This is one of them and for good reason these fit me perfectly. I love how stretchy they are I love the boot cut design of these. It makes the legs look nice and long They're very very comfortable and I think they make the booty look pretty good as well I love a good pair of black jeans. I find them to be a little bit more dressy a little bit more elevated And these are really nice. I can see why they went viral on tiktok I also picked up these pants. These are another one of those gone viral pants and again for good reason First of all, I love the color of these Second of all, I love that these are a stretchy weight and a pole on pant That look really really nice. These are completely office appropriate Definitely more on the dressy side. These are the high-waisted button pocket straight-legged pants They are 39 95. I picked mine up in fourths night and I got mine in a large now These fit me great. I could have sized down to a medium But I like the way that these flow on my body and they're not too tight in the waist They have pockets in the front. They have actual pockets in the back The button design of these is so nice and they're this really Soft buttery material and I love the little bit more flare legs I feel like that's what makes them look a little bit more dressy a little bit more elevated Love these. I think these would be so cute with a bodysuit and a blazer or a blouse I really like these. I may grab a couple more colors And then the other viral pant that I had to try out are these corduroy pants right here Did you know that corduroy is back in style? I used to wear corduroy when I was in junior high in high school and that was a long time ago I mean my 30 year reunion is coming up this year and corduroy is back But what I like about these is they're not a tight corduroy pant. They're a loose flowy boho style corduroy pants These are the mid-rise button zipper side pocket corduroy pants I got mine in blue in a size large and they are 39 95 now again. They have a nice stretchy waist. They actually have The elastic on the side. There are belt loops, which I think would be really cute paired with a cute belt There's the button closure and then again that wide leg that is all the rage Wide-legged pants wide-legged jeans are in style for the new year And I like these more than I thought that I would when I first pulled them out of the package I'm like, I don't know about those. I feel like they're gonna make me look kind of clownish. No They're very very flattering and again, they would be cute with the bodysuit Something maybe off the shoulder or a more fitted blouse for the office I really like these and I can see myself wearing them a lot And then this is a repeat for me this little roost skirt So I actually have this skirt in a plum kind of burgundy color I'll insert a picture here of me wearing that skirt on my trip to hawaii this last november So I decided to pick it up in black because I love it. I love everything about this skirt. It is a stretchy waist I love the ruching on the side. It flatters the figure It covers any lumps and bumps cellulite if you have love handle areas or wider thighs It's going to camouflage that beautifully This is the high waisted bodycon side pocket skirt I got mine in black size medium and it is 39 95 Now my purple one isn't a large and it's a little bit big for me So I decided to size down to a medium and that was the perfect choice. This fits me Perfectly and what I love is that they're shorts underneath so I don't have to worry about anything happening when I'm wearing this skirt I really love the shorts and one thing I will say is if you your thighs rub the shorts under this skirt make it Chef's kiss and super comfortable even in the summer months I'm gonna save my favorite piece in the piece that really blew my mind for last I also wanted to pick up a couple more dresses now. I do have a few dresses from halari. You saw the green one I also have a bright orange dress and I wanted something that was a little bit more dressy Maybe to wear on valentine's day or on a date night love this color This is the color that my other little ruched skirt is in the one I wore to hawaii So I decided to pick up this dress now again the ruching is Everything in this dress. It is so figure flattering. It covers up everything This is a spaghetti strapped dress and I also love that down the entire back is that ruching Now, you know, I had cosmetic surgery for skin removal on my back I still have a little skin on my back and that little ruching just camouflages that it does have adjustable straps There are pads the pads are removable and this is the deep v-neck adjustable strap backless ruched body con dress I got mine in dark crimson in a size large. It is 44 95 and I love everything About it. I think this would be so cute with a denim jacket over the top of it or even a black blazer or cardigan You could definitely dress this up even more make it a little bit more modest because it is definitely a deeper v But I love this. I think it's perfect for valentine's day Perfect for a date night and then I mentioned that I have those other two halar dresses that I love So I picked up one more again. I love this color It's kind of a mix between a pink and a purple. This dress also has pads They are removable and the dress like the skirt has built-in shorts, which is one of the things I love about the halar dresses. I wear them a lot in the summer and you know how hot it is here So I love that there are built-in shorts. This is the everyday cloud full fabric backless two-in-one activity dress I got mine in the shade ume purple in a size large and it is 54 95 Now I could have definitely sized down to a medium in this dress It is a little bit longer in length than some of the other halar dresses that I have Sometimes I want it a little bit shorter. Sometimes I want it a little bit longer But I love that has built-in shorts and I love the back of it I think it's very flattering. In fact, this is a great workout dress if you play pickleball Or tennis or if you like to just wear something a little bit more flowy during your workout These dresses are great. I have worn these on trips vacations Around running errands. I really love their wannabe dresses And I'm definitely going to be picking up more and last but not least is the piece the piece that blew my mind Now I loved this online, but I love love love this in person And that is this cute little overall wide leg jumper you guys. This is seriously so cute This is the adjustable strap multiple pocket waffle casual overhauls I got mine in the color black in a size medium for 44 95.

Like I mentioned, this is my new very favorite protein coffee I've been trying so many different variations. There is three different of the protein coffee mixes from herbal life There's the mocha the kamawakiato and then just the house blend, which is just traditional coffee flavor That's what I use today. This is so good It reminds me of a starbucks white chocolate peppermint mocha, but Eighth of the calories and this has 35 grams of protein. I literally love it so much I will link herbal life drag up and clean simple eats down below Those are the products that I use to make my protein coffee So i'm going to sip on that and then I brought two of the elissa's cookies with me just in case I got hungry I do have several errands to run this morning We are right now heading to the post office. I need to make a run by the ups store to return an amazon package I need to go to the landfill to drop off all of that cardboard in the back These bags right here are going to goodwill. I have some household items and a few clothing items to donate to goodwill I want to go to ross and maybe tj max I need to buy a few more organizers for my new makeup drawers that I got I need something that's going to help organize things a little bit better So they're not rolling around in those drawers We could also use dog treats if i'm able to find some at ross ross is typically Where I buy dog treats because it's really the most affordable I did throw on my little black puffer vest because it's pretty chilly only 50 degrees right now So it's a little bit chilly and I knew that I'd be out running a few errands So first stop is the post office and then let's get these errands done So once again Once again, the recycling is closed. She said that they Are over full. So I'm going to be toting around all those boxes for a little bit longer I'm going to see if maybe troy can Try coming back by tomorrow. It's only about five minutes from our house. She said I think she thinks I'm commercial So I had to explain to her that I am a resident and I'm not a commercial person I'm not commercial. So she just said that they fill up really quickly. So She thought maybe it would be back open tomorrow. So we'll try again tomorrow and next stop is going to be good. Well That was insane. There was so many people in there. I showed you a quick clip of the line I sw- I thought maybe it was a holiday in mexico and it's not so when I got up to the front I asked the checker and apparently this is so funny There was a big post going around on facebook in mexico saying that ross was having this 49 cents sale So everybody came over to go to ross for this 49 cent sale and I guess there is no sale I mean they have clearance which by the way was completely wiped out home decor clothing It's insane. These people from mexico are insane. I was in line for over 40 minutes But let me do a quick ross ball before we make our last stop at the ups store I got a few containers to organize. I would like more but i'm not going to tj mats because I'm looking in this parking lot ace joanne fabrics petco dollar treat packed with people big lot So i'm just going to go home and use what I have and will come when there's not a big facebook post about a sale So I did end up getting a few things. So I got this. I don't love that. It's glittery But it's going in a drawer and this was on sale for $3.99 and then I did score in dog treats So I got these wafer cookies and all of these dog treats have nice clean ingredients Which is what I love about ross. These were two $2.99 and then I got two of these because the ingredients and these are perfect This is from sniff snacks and these are scottish Scottish salmon bites $2.99 each and then I found this it's turkey time so it's just a Nice clean ingredient turkey and thyme flavor dog treat and then these are from the wellness brand Which are usually like five six dollars at ross these were on sale for 99 cents and they're turkey and duck And then originally I just grabbed this bin. It says hello gorgeous on it. Didn't care about that Originally, I just grabbed this bin to carry my stuff in and then once I was in line I saw that it was only 5.99. So I picked it up just for storage in my closet And then lastly, this is the score of the century. I would have got more but they only had two This is a four piece organizer set for $7.99. These are gonna fit perfectly in my drawer So I'll put it all together when I get home and kind of show you guys what I was thinking I have one more stop to make. I actually ordered a little tripod off of amazon for my phone For filming on tiktok and I accidentally ordered a selfie stick. So I need to return that to the ups store I'm going to Zen out listen to some youtube and finish up my protein coffee. We'll head home and then we'll have some lunch I got all the way into the ups store went to the little amazon return machine And realized that I have to print the label and adhere it to a box and mail it off. So That was a waste to drive. That was a waste of about 20 minutes by the time I drive here and drive back to where I just came from I will bring it to return it when I go to the weightlifting gym because it's right around the corner from here Today would have been my sweet boy diesel's 12th birthday So he is celebrating in heaven. I hope he's swimming Playing with sticks just really having a really good birthday. It's been a hard almost year since we lost him and all of the Holidays that come around. I really miss him all of the Days like birthdays and things that come around or just a constant reminder that he's not here and Just a constant reminder how challenging 2023 was for us between lola being diagnosed with lymphoma and diesel and losing diesel So today is a is a bittersweet day. I know he wouldn't want me to be sad. I already cried last night about it I Have been teary-eyed a couple times today about it too But I know he wouldn't want us to be sad and I know that he's celebrating In doggie heaven and that he's watching over our family, but we definitely miss him it's been It's been hard. So If you can just take a minute and just and wish him a happy birthday in heaven that would that would definitely mean a lot to us so anyway I'm on my way home and I'm going to make some lunch I have kind of a fun little recipe that I want to share with you guys for lunch today I mentioned it in my grocery haul. I want to make it. It's these little pizza stuffed mini peppers So we're going to make those for lunch. I'm not going to cry and we're going to have a good rest of our day So here's what I'm going to make for lunch. I'll actually put the recipe in the description box I found this on I think instagram from the keto code. They're a little two bite pepperoni pizza peppers So that's what we're going to do for lunch. Let me show you all the ingredients So you'll need little mini peppers some type of marinara mozzarella cheese and then a little mini pepperonis You could probably do turkey pepperoni, but I'm going to do these little minis So we're supposed to cut the pepper in half And then I guess take out any seeds just basically clean the pepper out And then I'm going to place it. I think I'm going to remove the stem I'm just going to place it on a cookie sheet So I have my peppers all cleaned out So I'm going to add just a little bit of marinara to each pepper less than a tablespoon Now we're going to sprinkle just a little bit of cheese on each pepper And then we're just going to top with some pepperoni. I think I'm going to do four or five little mini pepperonis per pepper So we're putting our little peppers into a 350 degree oven for about 10 to 15 minutes So the little pepperoni pizza peppers are out of the oven I'm going to go ahead and add some of these to my plate along with these goldfish crisps I told you guys about these in my grocery haul. We're going to taste test those for the first time I did half of a serving. So that's half a serving So at full serving is going to be double that amount. So here's my lunch I did four of the little mini peppers I'm just going to build the recipe in my lucid app and see exactly what the calories points macros are So I'll put those on the screen half of a serving of the goldfish crisps So let's try these Those are really good. They're super crispy They actually taste just like a sour cream and onion potato chip Really good. I saw that they had a cheddar and a salt and vinegar as well And you get a lot of them for the points in calories It's 140 calories for a full serving and I did half and that's only 70 calories. So This is going to be today's lunch Oh go get your new ball. Oh you get a new ball? Pommet. Pommet got you get your new ball Oh, it's his favorite thing in the world is when he gets a fresh new one. Oh, yeah, you got your pop Good sit buddy Fresh new balls He typically gets the zunis. So we will see what happens Get it. Oh daddy's tempting you with it. Pommet means snack time and I am craving a yogurt bowl So I'm going to do a chobani zero sugar. This one is in blueberry I'm going to do 50 grams of fresh blueberries. Maybe the rest of these will see what that ends up weighing out And then I do a tablespoon of chia smash. This is actually the raspberry I buy these on amazon. I'll link them down below for you You can find these at health food stores as well But I find they're cheaper on amazon and you get a six pack of six different flavors So it's a great way to try out all of the different flavors. This is a brand new jar It's my last jar and then I'm going to do a quarter cup or half of a serving of my catalina crunch Cinnamon toast. I love this. It's so good. It adds a crunch and it's going to give me about five grams of fiber about six grams of protein Really really good way to add crunch to a yogurt bowl And then I'm going to do just a tiny bit of the strawberry whipped cream from target For dinner tonight, I'm making a meatball soup with cheese Tortellini, so let me show you what you'll need. You'll need some beef broth minced garlic One large can or two small cans of diced tomatoes Tomato sauce parmesan cheese cheese tortellini. You can do refrigerated or frozen I'm going to do 99 fat free turkey. I'm going to make my own meatballs just so that I don't buy The processed ones in the store. They're super easy to make and onion some Italian seasoning and salt and pepper So the first thing I'm going to do is make up my meatballs So I'm going to add my pound of ground turkey to a bowl I'm going to season them with a little bit of Italian seasoning salt and pepper And then I'm going to mix that up roll these into tiny little meatballs and put them on my baking sheet here lined with Spray with non-stick cooking spray and I do have my oven preheating to 400 degrees I have a stock pot over medium high heat. I did spray it with some non-stick cooking spray I chopped up half of that onion. It was a big onion in the recipe calls for one Small onion or about a cup. So I'm adding that to the stock pot We're going to allow these to cook down for just a couple of minutes Once your onions are softened We're going to add a big scoop of minced garlic and allow it to cook until fragrant can of tomato sauce Our big can or two small cans of diced tomatoes and then we're going to add four cups or one full box of beef stock Some Italian seasoning and salt and pepper give that a stir and allow it to simmer for about 20 minutes If you are using frozen meatballs, you would add those in at this time as well But since I'm not I'm just going to let this broth simmer while my meatballs are cooking in the oven I'm going to go ahead and add in my cooked meatballs and allow those to simmer for the last 10 minutes Lastly, we're adding in our tortellini And we're going to allow that to cook for about five to seven minutes Or until the tortellini is cooked through and then lastly I'm adding in half of a cup of parmesan cheese and stirring that in And here's the soup. This looks really Really good. I'm going to go ahead and plate it up Sprinkle it with just a tiny bit of parmesan cheese some fresh parsley and I'll be back to share points calories and macros So here is dinner. This looks so good. We've got carbs protein some veggies We've got a little bit of everything The recipe does make 10 servings. So all of the information is here on the screen for you For dessert tonight, I am going to have some of my dark chocolate hummus. I haven't even tried this yet I actually got this in my grocery haul. It looks really really good It's 80 calories for two tablespoons. So I'm going to weigh out two tablespoons and then I'm going to do Probably half a serving because that would be eight rice cakes and these are the little mini ones I don't think I'll have enough hummus for more than about eight So I'm going to do some caramel rice cakes and hummus for dessert Thank you for today's what I eat in a day on ww I hope you enjoyed coming along with me today seeing everything that I ate I didn't mention but the little pizza peppers are delicious.
