 Welcome to today's what I eat in a day 453 a.m. I'm headed to boot camp as always I am filming today's video on Monday and Monday is a boot camp day I didn't know my birthday was on Saturday Troy's birthdays on Friday. My birthday was on Saturday Our anniversary was on Friday We actually got married on Troy's birthday and our birthdays are one day apart, which is kind of crazy So we had an entire weekend of celebration Birthday cake we went out for dinner for my birthday Troy brought bought me a beautiful bouquet of flowers I got a huge bouquet for my boot camp group Received a small bouquet, which was beautiful from clean simple eats just a fantastic weekend of celebration So I'm excited to be back to normal so to speak normal food Also back to my working out. I mean I didn't miss a beat with boot camp in the gym I was on point the entire week and weekend with working out But it feels good to have kind of the celebrations over at least for a couple days since Thanksgiving is Tomorrow when you see this video I also put out a video on Sunday where I talked about some changes coming here to my channel Also talked about Weight Watchers and whether I am going to be moving forward with that and the results of my dexa scan So I'll link that video if you missed it that way You're kind of caught up and a lot of the food that I'm eating today will make a little bit more sense after that video I am already hungry. I have been up since about 3 30. I couldn't sleep. I think I'm in perimenopause I really do because my sleep has been very weird the last few months I'm not experiencing any other perimenopause system Symptoms that I'm aware of other than the sleep issue. So I don't know my cycle is still very regular unfortunately But I have a feeling that's what it is I actually brought that up to my friend Kate at boot camp and she said welcome to perimenopause So I have a feeling these sleep issues are relating to that. So I'm a little bit tired I'm already hungry. So I'm definitely going to make some breakfast when I get home from boot camp We are going to run a few errands today We had tour day Tucson, which is a big biking tour In Tucson and where I live over the weekend So there was a lot of traffic and because it was my birthday weekend and we were busy with other things I didn't get to run the errands that I typically like to run So we're gonna do that a little bit later this morning as well And yeah, we just have a busy day full of really good food So hopefully you're excited if you all give this video a thumbs up Don't forget to subscribe because I do a what I eat today every Wednesday and check out nutrition coaching and my Facebook group Down below. So I'm pulling in let me grab my mat my weights and I'll be back at breakfast Okay, I'm home from boot camp and I am so hungry and I'm gonna be sharing something with you that's new to me I actually saw this on Instagram and I bought everything for it and I'm excited to try it out So we're gonna make kind of a savory breakfast. So you're going to need chicken sausage of your choice I'm using the Trader Joe's garlic and herb chicken sausage. I'm actually going to cook up all four of these I'm gonna make a big batch of this because I think because Troy will eat this too So my rule of thumb when I'm using more than one sausage But I only want to eat one sausage is just count the number of sausage pieces that you get from each link Say ten and that way when you serve it out, just make sure you're not serving yourself more than ten sausage pieces So pro tip on how to not overdo the sausage and then I'm gonna be using the holiday vegetable hash from Trader Joe's This is butternut squash sweet potato red onion celery parsley sage and rosemary So it is pre-cut up ready to go and then I'm going to throw in some eggs for some extra protein And I'm going to cook this all up kind of skillet style. I'm pretty excited for this It's going to be a good amount of protein We have a healthy carb in the butternut squash and the sweet potatoes and then even more protein in the sausage So it's going to be amazing. I'm really excited about it So let's make up the hash and then I'll share with you my outfit of the day because I already know I'm going to get questions on this shirt I got a lot of questions on the shirt that I wore on my birthday. I'll go ahead and pop a picture in here for you They're all from the same company I'm going to share my outfit of the day with you as soon as we're done with breakfast So I went ahead and added the holiday hash to a skillet and I'm just going to start cooking this down over medium heat I want the squash and the sweet potato to be about 75% cooked before I add in my chopped sausage. It smells like Thanksgiving That's how good this holiday hash smells the sweet potatoes and butternut squash are about 75% cooked So I did dice my sausage up. I got 11 slices per link So I'll make sure when I dish up my plate that I take 11 of the sausage slices and that equals one length That really is the best way to make sure that you're tracking accurately and that you're staying within the portion Then I'm going to add in four eggs and just kind of scramble those in with the sausage and the hash I also did add a little bit of salt and pepper So here is what it looks like so I'm going to go ahead and dish up one serving So this makes four servings Total so it'll be one egg one sausage and a fourth of the hash So here is my breakfast. This is a good amount. I have 11 little rounds of sausage I'm really excited for this lots of veggies lots of protein. Let's definitely taste test it. See what we think, okay? Let's test this out. It smells like I said literally like Thanksgiving so I'm gonna get some sausage some eggs some holiday hash cheers All of those flavors come through with the sage and the rosemary and then choosing the garlic Sausage was a really good choice because then it adds that little punch of garlic It's really really delicious and this is a good amount lots of protein veggies healthy carbs Definitely recommend as promised. Let me share with you my outfit of the day starting with my jewelry I did go ahead and treat myself to some new jewelry, you know, I love on the Louisa I have several of their pieces everything from earrings to necklaces to rings bracelets the quality is absolutely Outstanding there are carbon neutral company So you can rest assured when you purchase from them that you're not impacting the environment in a negative way The quality of the pieces is outstanding.

I'm just wearing a Black bodysuit that I had purchased from sheen a few months ago. So this top actually comes in multiple different colors I picked mine up in khaki. It's $10 and 49 cents and it's really nice quality I will say that it is very oversized. I picked mine up in a large and I definitely needed a small I would say size down a couple of sizes or if you're in between sizes at least size down One size because mine is more oversized than I would like. I went ahead and tied it at the waist I think it's super cute definitely fall vibes and the material and quality of this is really nice And then I picked up these jeans and I am obsessed with these jeans. I I can't say that like I can't say that enough They're so comfortable. They're so flattering. I love the boot cut leg I love the wash on the front the pockets are the perfect size So it makes your booty look nice gives your booty a little bit of a lift And they do have some stretch in the waist these jeans are $15 and 81 cents. That's it I got mine in the size 8 to 10 or 30 inch waist and they fit me fantastic I typically wear between an 8 and a 10 in women's and these as a 30 inch waist would equate to about a 10 And they fit great They fit wonderful in the legs and I do like that they have that little bit of stretch So they're really comfortable to wear and like I said the quality and the fit and the way these look is a 10 out of a 10 This cute little thankful t-shirt is that buttery soft material? It's so cute. So comfortable I love that buttery soft t-shirt material and that is what this top is This top is $5 and 50 cents and I'm going to be wearing this on Thanksgiving We are doing a turkey trot 5k with my boot camp group Thanksgiving morning So I'm going to wear her and rock her because she's so comfortable I did pick this one up in a size large and it fits me Perfectly and then the other piece from the reel that I wanted to share with you because I love it so much Is the plaid skirt it is so cute so flattering It has a zipper up the side so it's very very elegant something you could definitely wear to the office holiday parties And it is this soft kind of wool material Not super thick but just the perfect thickness most beautiful quality This skirt is $8 and 97 cents and actually comes in a few different color patterns. I just really like it It's very very flattering sits at the perfect length not too long not too short It's just really flattering and I love it. I can't wait to wear it all fall season I also wore the gray kind of drop shoulder shirt for my birthday I'll pop a picture in here from my birthday. It is so cute. It has some ruching on the side And again, it's the perfect length to wear with jeans leggings I actually paired it with a black skirt that I bought from she and as well for my birthday super cute Super comfortable. I actually got a couple of compliments on that shirt at the restaurant Everything you saw in that reel is really good quality. I love everything I can't wait to wear all the Christmas gear the Christmas pajamas The jeans are really really nice quality just everything I picked up is perfect for fall and super affordable So right now again, she and is having their black Friday sale You can save up to 90% off all of the items that I purchased are on flash sale right now for even less expensive And they're already inexpensive to begin with free shipping free easy returns Definitely check them out use the code here on the screen for that discount I'll put all of the information down below for you. All right, we're in the car heading to do our errands for this morning It is about 8 40 a.m I am first up going to hit up the post office I've got quite a bit of stuff to mail out and then our other errands that are on our agenda And luckily they're all in the same area in Tucson is I need to go to home depot To pick up bins for decorations and air filters and then I'm thinking I'm going to get a big heavy duty Hook for our Christmas wreath normally we put it on our door But we had a custom metal screen door Put on our door of our house and we can't really hang anything from the metal screen door So I might get like a big hefty command hook or something like that And then I need to go to Ulta because in typical Ulta fashion I ordered this bronzer and it came completely shattered because Ulta just throws everything in an envelope and takes no care In making sure that it doesn't shatter So I'm going to stop at Ulta, which is also in the same exact complex as home depot And we're going to stop at Dutch brothers for coffee because I have a free coffee for my birthday Which is really nice. I actually got a free Starbucks on my birthday So I haven't used the Dutch brothers one yet So we're going to grab a coffee and then I think I'm going to stop into Ross Because Ross is also in the exact same parking lot. It's actually right next door to Ulta I may swing into Ross I would like to pick up some more dog treats if they have some and then just kind of peek around at the holiday stuff I really don't need Any holiday decorations, but do we ever really need any holiday decorations? But I might peek around at those speaking of holiday decorations. I'm in a film a decorate with me I plan on doing our decorating for Christmas on the day after Thanksgiving and I think I'm going to film the whole thing I thought it would be just really fun to show you guys Me have you guys decorate right along with me I'll probably show you the some of the food that I'm eating that day and just kind of make it like a holiday vlog I'm feeling like I want to bring some holiday content this year I did the holiday Advent calendar of candles and you guys seem to really like that So I kind of want to sprinkle in some holiday content as well. So that's the plan I also have a five percent off discount for target for my birthday But I don't think I need anything at target right now and the discount is good for quite a while So we may or may not go to target So I got my coffee and I did a 24 ounce iced americano four shot sugar-free peppermint one of my favorite holiday flavors I know you can get peppermint year-round, but in the holidays that's when I want it So I got that with a little tiny bit of cream about half the cream that they normally use So it's one point for this coffee and it's really good And I just pulled into Ross. I think I'm going to hit up Ross First before I go to home depot Because I need Troy to be up He's not up yet for the day to tell me the size of the air filters I need to buy at home depot and then Ulta doesn't open until 10 and it's currently 9 44 a.m One hour later. Oh My goodness the holiday season is in full force. I just waited in line for 41 minutes at Ross 41 minutes. I got up to the front and I asked the checkout girl I'm I asked her is this normal like is Ross typically this busy and she said yes, but no apparently Apparently there's a Mexican holiday today and everybody's over from Mexico shopping because it was in Same like the line wrapped around the entire store all the way to the back all the way around Cheers to that So my next stop is home depot Which hopefully won't be as crazy and then a quick run into Ulta and then I'm out I'm out of Tucson if you didn't know we're really close to Nogales the Mexico border So apparently that's why everybody's over in Tucson shopping. So And because I stood in line for so long I had a protein bar So I ate my fulfill protein bar when I was in line and then I'll eat lunch when I get Home so next stop home depot. All right home depot looks a little less cray-cray than Ross was and I'm going to try to get in And out of here and I'm definitely not going to target because there's way way way Way too many people for target for me today. I'm I'm kind of over it. So home depot All right, home depot was painless. I got my two bins And six of one size of air filter three of another and then all my goodies from Ross I'll do a little quick Ross haul when I get home. Okay. I just got back into the car I did bring my water along with me and I'm going to mix in I brought a Motivate burn the little stick pack with me I need some energy through the rest of the shopping experience and then make it home So I'm going to mix the burn in with my water I've actually been getting a ton of questions on motivate burn or motivate in general, you know This is my go-to supplement for pretty much everything. I take their creatine their recovery their burn I take their turmeric gummies. I take a lot of their products. I love them right now They're having their black Friday sale So I will put all the details of the black Friday sale here on the screen for you And I will also put all of the details down in the description box They're having some killer killer killer deals and for burn. They have multiple options They have multiple flavors of burn burn is fantastic for energy fat burning metabolism boost focus It is my go-to pick me up Supplement not only does it give me all of those things it also gets in my water I drink I fill my 32 ounce bottle with water put in one scoop or one pack of the motivate Burn and it just helps me make it through my day So they do have the burn which does have caffeine in it in the little stick packs and the little tubs You guys know I have the tubs at home. They also have the burn in capsule form I shared that recently in a what I eat in a day that that's what I take typically traveling the capsules Because it's easy. I don't have to worry about trying to find water and mix it And I can just pop the capsule and get the exact same burn benefits And then I also have the no-stem burn which comes in Miami lemonade and kiwi strawberry that one does not have caffeine So if you're sensitive to caffeine, that's going to be the burn for you I go between them both sometimes I want the caffeine like today And sometimes I want just the burn benefits the focus the fat burning the energy So I'll go for the no-stem, but take advantage of their black Friday sale I do have a 20 discount for motivate when there's not a sale right now. The black friday sale is a better deal It's more percentage off, but if you use the link in the description box, it'll take you to their black friday sale I'll link it directly for you and then save the information because when the black friday sale is over You always get 20 off with my code So i'm going to mix up my motivate burn. I have the watermelon flavor Which is one of my favorites and let's go to alta. I'm adding zero today So alta does not carry wet and wild this particular alta doesn't carry wet and wild And what i'm doing is a full face of wet and wild on my beauty channel So I ordered that bronzer and it came shattered as you saw. Well, they don't carry it So what i'm going to do is probably try to grab it at the grocery store walmart or fries or just skip the bronzer And also mac is 30 off and I use their paint pot as an eyeshadow primer They don't carry mac in the story there. So this is why I order online I feel like the store just doesn't have Nearly everything not even close because they can't they can't stock at all So this is why I order online But I have to remind myself do not order powder products online because they always come completely shattered eyeshadow palettes blushes bronzers Don't do it. Just go to your regular alta store. So for it does a little more care in their packaging But not a lot. So anyways, that is it. I'm over it. It's I'm hung It's 11 15 now and I am ready for some lunch So I'm going to go ahead and head home and I'll do the little ross hall and we'll make some lunch Mommy's officially home. Let's do a sweet potato treats sweet potatoes I don't know if you'll like these. Oh, you do. Here you go, baby. Good job So here's what I ended up standing in line forever at ross four So I bought this wreath because the wreath that we have for our front doors from costco And it's huge and it's not going to fit on our new door with the screen So I got this small one. It's actually really nice and it was 12 99 And then I got some tissue paper for my giveaways and the christmas parties that were invited to you for gifts It was only 2 99 for this whole pack, which is a really good deal And then I always get dog treats and these ones have really good ingredients Ross actually has really good prices and really good quality dog treats So these are beef sticks and then I got the chicken and cranberry sticks. These have nice clean ingredients Don't mind my dishes and then I got some wellness soft bites in lamb and salmon also really nice clean ingredients And then I saw this brand hearty life beef grillers So I picked those up too and then that way the dogs have some good healthy treats And then this is my all-time favorite chocolate this salted Tony's chocoloni and this was on clearance for 350 and it doesn't expire till february So I grabbed that they're little teeny discs and they're amazing And then I needed a couple of new baking pans for the holidays and I really like the aesthetic of these So I got this round one 6 99 and then this really cute loaf pan Also only 6 99 and then for my office. I got this peppermint candle smells amazing super cute I always have a candle burning in the background of my videos And then I saw that they have this yankee candle santa arrived. It smells like pine. It smells so good For 9 99, which is really really cheap and this one was only 6 99 So that is everything from ross now. Let's have some lunch. So for lunch I'm having the broccoli cheddar casserole that I made in my meal prep You can say you can see that we've really enjoyed it. It's almost gone. It's really really really good So I'm going to have a serving of this and then I think I'm going to have some fruit I haven't had any fruit today. So I think I'm going to have some raspberries. So here is my lunch I have one serving of the chicken broccoli casserole and a hundred grams of raspberries That way I get in a good source of carbs with some fiber and a nice clean lunch Good noon snack time and I'm going to have a protein shake I have been kind of craving a milkshake and this is the next best thing So I'm going to use my fair life chocolate milk I use one cup and then for protein powder. I'm using devotion mocha java chip Devotion is one of my favorite brands of protein powder especially for baking hands down the best for baking But mocha java chip just sounds really good. It reminds me of a starbucks frappuccino And then you mix it with the chocolate milk And it's amazing. So devotion now has these little sample packs in a variety bag. Actually, let me show you So it comes like this you actually get recipe cards and two packets of five of their flavors So 10 packets total all in this nice little package It's just a really good way to try devotion out find your favorite flavor then by the full size tub So I'll link devotion down below for you.

I'm going to make some dinner here in just a couple minutes Someone's snoring real loud For dinner tonight, I'm making the easiest and I mean easiest taco inspired soup And we're using pretty much all canned ingredients. So like I said, it's very simple very very affordable So let me show you what you'll need. So you're going to need taco seasoning any kind of broth of your choice Can vegetables the recipe wanted corn. I don't have corn, but I do have peas and carrots So I'm going to add that a can of pinto beans I'm going to do two cans of shredded chicken recipe called for one can I'm doing two for the extra protein A can of diced tomatoes a can of enchilada sauce and a can of black beans so like I said, we're putting everything into a Big pan a big soup pan. So I'm adding my drained peas and carrots or whatever can vegetables You can even use frozen vegetables a small can of enchilada sauce a can of diced tomatoes Drained and rinsed pinto and black beans and then like I said, I'm adding two cans of chicken Just for the extra protein. I did drain the chicken And then I'm going to use one of the cans since I have the box of broth and I'm going to add a full can of broth And lastly a packet of taco seasoning We're putting her on the stove to warm it through. So I have my soup over medium heat I'm just going to allow it to warm completely through you guys.
