 Well good morning welcome to today's what I eat in a day. Can you even believe it? I'm actually outside taking a walk. This is my first time taking a walk or doing any really intentional movement since I had my cosmetic surgery. I am almost four weeks post-op. Actually when you see this video it'll be my four week post-op anniversary so that's pretty exciting. So I was cleared to start walking about three weeks so I decided to take advantage of that. See if I can make it through about a 30 minute walk. I'm walking my normal 30 minute route. It's a really really beautiful day today. It's already about 57 degrees. We're gonna hit 107 next weekend so summer is officially here in Arizona for sure but it feels good to be out. I will say that I do have like a little pressure in my chest which I get that even just walking around my house so that was my big concern is was I actually going to be able to make a solid walk outside without being really uncomfortable and I'm about 10 minutes into my walk and I feel good. I feel like I'm going to be able to do my 30 minute loop. We'll see what happens the rest of the day. Does it wipe me out? Do I have to take Tylenol? But I will say that it feels really good to be kind of back out moving my body. I can feel it not gonna lie. It's been a month since I've done any physical activity and I can feel it. I mean even just taking a walk. I know that that'll get better as I consistently exercise so if I can make it today my plan is to try to walk pretty regularly at least maybe four or five times a week until I'm cleared to actually go back to lifting weights and going back to boot camp. I did have my protein coffee this morning got ready for the day. Figured that I would do my hair do my makeup feel as normal as possible. We're gonna go home have breakfast. I actually have a new breakfast that I want to test out with you guys so I'm pretty excited about that but I at least want to come on and welcome you to today's video. We have a busy day today. Lots going on so let's finish this walk get home and make some breakfast. I'm home from my walk and I am hungry. I definitely need some breakfast and like I said I have a new breakfast that I want to share with you guys. Actually new products to me from Clean Simple Eats. You know I love Clean Simple Eats. I live on their protein powder. I use all of their energy drink mixes their greens. I love their protein powder but they actually sell protein pancake and waffle mix in the flavor of vanilla. Now you can see I haven't even opened this yet. It actually has 15 grams of protein and 5 grams of fiber. One serving is 198 calories. You have 2 grams of fat, 30 grams of carbs, no added sugar. It says no artificial colors, flavors or sweeteners, organically sourced ingredients and on the front here it says there's flax seeds and omega 5. So I'm really excited about this so I want to make a pancake, a protein pancake for breakfast and then I'm going to add a few of these mini chocolate chips. These are just Nestle House mini chocolate chips and then they also sell pancake and waffle syrup mix. Now this is just the coolest thing. Each serving is 32 calories, 8 carbohydrates, 0 grams of protein, 0 fiber but this is powdered syrup mix and then what you do is mix it up in the Clean Simple Eats little syrup container and you can keep it in your refrigerator and you have syrup on hand. Sugar-free syrup and what's amazing about this and one of the main things that drew me to it is there's no caramel coloring. Now there's typically caramel coloring in most sugar-free syrups. This doesn't have it. It has organic maple sugar, natural maple flavor and color, xanthan gum and then tri-calcium added for moisture. That's it and you can make it up anytime you need it. Keep it in your refrigerator. It's five bottles at least of syrup in this powdered form and it's really, really, really good. So we're going to make up the Clean Simple Eats syrup to put on our pancakes. I have some strawberries. I'm going to have a side of fruit. Probably put a little butter on there. So I'm really excited to test this out. I love a good protein pancake. I love a pancake and if I can get some protein even better. So I will go ahead and link Clean Simple Eats down below for you with 10% off but let's make some chocolate chip pancakes for breakfast. So the back of the bag says to add half of a cup of the pancake mix to a bowl and that is one serving. So it says we should get about two pancakes. I believe that half of a cup is way more than even Kodiak protein pancake is for about this amount of calories. So it says add half of a cup Clean Simple Eats pancake and waffle mix to a bowl with a quarter cup or water or more for thinner pancakes. It says for extra protein, add an egg or egg white to the batter. Ooh, I'm going to do that. I'm going to add an egg white. So I have some liquid egg whites. I'm just going to add a little bit of this and then we'll add water until we get that right consistency. So this looks like a pretty good consistency for me. I would rather have the mix be a little bit thicker. Let's make up the syrup and throw it in the refrigerator while we cook the pancake. So this says to mix one part Clean Simple Eats syrup mix to two parts of water in a bowl or the CSE shaker bottle. You can see that there's the little shaker ball in here as well. So it says nine grams dry. So I have it on my food scale. I'm going to add nine grams. Add in some water, shake it up and then it says the longer it sits, the thicker it gets. So here's our syrup. I'm going to pop this in the refrigerator and let's cook the pancake. I almost forgot my chocolate chips. I'm going to add in I think 10 grams of chocolate chips. Yes, let's do 10 grams of mini chocolate chips. There we go. Stir that into the batter and now let's make our pancake. So here's my breakfast. Doesn't this look amazing? So that is one serving of the Clean Simple Eats protein powder and I made a huge pancake, the syrup perfection. I did put a teaspoon of carry gold butter, just real butter on there and then I have a hundred grams of strawberry. So this is breakfast. So let's try the Clean Simple Eats protein pancake. Remember, I did add some chocolate chips to mine as well. So all of the points, calories and macros include the butter, the chocolate chips, the chocolate chips. Just make the pancake. It's really good. It definitely gives me more of an authentic buttermilk real pancake, not a protein pancake, but like an Aunt Jemima or out to IHOP pancake vibe. It's really good. Has really, really good flavor. The syrup is perfection. Tastes just like syrup you buy at the store. Much more affordable, much better ingredients. You can just keep it in your fridge. This is really, really good and it's going to be 15 grams of protein, which is pretty not good for a pancake. So I'm getting ready for a coaching call this morning. Luckily, I only have one call today because because I have a really busy day of editing videos. Troy and I need to do a pretty thorough cleaning on the house and I'm actually feeling good enough to help him. I took that amazing walk this morning so I'm feeling really good. Definitely more energized. I feel energized. I feel like when we move, we have more energy and we say, oh, I don't have energy to exercise, but if you just exercise, then you get more energy if that makes sense. So I am excited. I'm excited to get some extra movement in today. I just mixed up my Motivate Burn. I really like to have this mid-morning. Just gives me that mid-morning boost, helps me make it through the day. Like I mentioned, I had my coffee this morning, but this is a supplement that I like to take every day. Sometimes I use the regular Motivate. Sometimes I use the No Stim Motivate, which actually doesn't have any caffeine. Kind of depends on where I am. If I feel like I need that little bit of caffeine boost, but because I have to clean the house today, I mixed up my regular Motivate Burn. I use the Watermelon from the Sampler Pack. Speaking of Sampler Packs, Motivate has an amazing deal going on right now. They have what's called the Motivate Starter Bundle and this is really good for anybody who hasn't really tried Motivate or if you've only tried a couple of their products. This is a great way and an affordable way to try some of their best-selling products. Honestly, some of my favorite products. The first thing in the little bundle is what I put in my water this morning, which is one of the little Motivate Magic Sticks or the Motivate Burn Packs. What I really like about this Sampler Pack is you get five different flavors of Motivate Burn. You can test them out, find your favorites. They do sell the Motivate Burn by the tub, but this is great for travel, portability, to test it out. This is included in their little Starter Bundle. You're also going to get both packs of the Motivate No Stim Burn. This still has all the burn features, energy, fat loss, metabolism, boosting, helps keep you full and satisfied, clarity, focus. You're going to get all of that with the No Stim Burn minus the caffeine. So you're going to get a five pack of the Miami Lemonade, which I love and then this one is so good. This is the brand new No Stim and this is the Kiwi Strawberry. It's my favorite. Now don't get me wrong, I like the Lemonade too, but the Kiwi Strawberry, it's still my heart. I have the full tub of it. That's how much I love it, but you're actually going to get all three of the No Stim and Burn Sampler Packs and then you're also going to get the Sampler Pack of the Greens. I'm going to insert a picture because I thought I had them and I just asked my lovely husband and he said that he's drank them all, which is fine. I'm glad that he enjoys them, that he's drinking his greens, that he's getting in his greens, but I actually wanted to show you guys the Sampler Pack. I'm going to have to place another order, but you actually get four packs of the Motivate Greens, two of the Tangerine and two of the Peach. Again, great for portability, great for travel, great for on the go. They're pre-portioned, ready to go and their greens are delicious. None of that weird grassy flavor, just really good fruity flavor. I love the Tangerine and the Peach equally and apparently so destroyed. I always use my Motivate Shaker Bottle to mix everything up. It does have the Shaker component in the lid, the Sip Top. It keeps everything nice and cold. I love this. I actually have two of these and for me it just makes sense to mix up all of these products in the Motivate Shaker. I do have a 20% discount for Motivate that you can actually use on top of the Starter Pack bundle prices. So there's actually two different bundles on sale right now on the Motivate website. Without the Shaker Bottle, the bundles normally $70. Right now it's on sale for $39.99 and with my discount code you can get the entire bundle for only $32. That's going to be all four of the Sampler packs, the Motivate Burn, the Two No Stim and the Greens. Now if you're interested in the Shaker Bottle, which I highly recommend, the other package includes the Shaker. It is normally $90. It is on sale for $49.99 and with my code and discount it's $40. So essentially it's about $8 more with my discount to get the Shaker Bottle and like I said I like that it's temperature controlled. It has the Shaker component in the lid so it really helps mix everything up really well and I really like it, but you do have the option to purchase a bundle with or without the Shaker. So I'll link it down below for you and I'm going to hop on the Motivate website and pick up some more greens. Good morning. You up for the day? Oh yes, good morning. Sweat it out. Good morning baby. You are both up for the day finally. Yeah you're both up for the day finally. I have a new favorite snack that I want to share with you guys. I've been making this up almost every day and I know you guys are going to love this. It's a great way to get in protein. Fruit have a little bit of crunch so what it is is it's basically a yogurt bowl but it's kind of a spin on a yogurt bowl. So first you're going to need a Greek yogurt of your choice. Chobani Zero Sugar honestly is probably my favorite. I love that it's 60 calories, 11 grams of protein. Today I'm using blueberry. You can like I said use any yogurt, any flavor. You're going to add fruit of your choice. So I have some strawberries, some blackberries, whatever fruit you want to add. And then you're going to add granola of your choice. So this is just a little bit of this granola that I bought at a local farmers market. Again any granola will work. That's just going to give it a little bit of a crunch. I like to add a tiny bit of whipped cream. Again that's optional. Actually all of this is optional. This is just my favorite way to make the yogurt bowl but really the star of the show in my opinion is the chia smash. So I shared this in my favorites video. If you haven't seen that video I'll link it down below. This is the strawberry chia smash. This is four ingredients. Strawberries, chia seeds, dates, and lemon. That's it. I mean it's super, super clean ingredients. It's only 25 calories for a serving. Really good and adds just the perfect texture and jam to the yogurt that makes it feel a little bit more decadent. So let me put this together and I'll show you guys the finished yogurt bowl. Give you the points, the calories, the macros. But I've literally been pretty much living on this. So here is the yogurt bowl. Doesn't this look amazing? I'm telling you this is one of my all-time favorite snacks. I just love the crunch of the granola, the texture that the chia seeds gives it and you can make so many different variations using different yogurts, different granola, different fruit. I'm super excited about this. I can't wait to get my raspberry chia smash. I buy mine off of Imperfect Food. So I'll link in Perfect Foods down below for you with a discount. I did reach out to Chia Smash directly to see if I could get a discount code for you. So whatever info I have will be down in the description box but this is my morning snack. I'm just getting ready to head out the door to go get a coffee of course. I always need a second coffee every day. I've been doing decaf for my second coffee just to help ease back into caffeine especially because I did have that motivate burn today. I'm definitely going to do decaf and I have to go to the post office. We need to mail some medical documentation for Troy for Social Security. So update on that a little bit. You guys have been asking how he's doing. He's actually doing pretty well. He still obviously has medical concerns but he's doing better. His elbow is doing really well. He almost has a complete full range of motion which is amazing but we but we're still waiting to be approved for Social Security. So we're still paying Cobra medical insurance every month which you know is really really expensive but he has to have medical insurance and it's just a waiting game. I'm anticipating not really hearing anything until the end of this year which will be almost two years since we originally applied for Social Security. It'll be over a year since our denial. Our first attempt at applying we were denied so it'll be almost a year since that denial. So we did hire an attorney so fingers crossed that he can get his Social Security, get back on his medical and he'll also get his union pension which will really help us out financially because right now I'm it. I'm the only income in the house so I really appreciate all of you guys watching my videos using my links especially if they're affiliate links I really appreciate it. I do earn a little small commission on affiliate links and everything helps when I'm the sole income of my family. So thank you again for all your support for my channel. So like I said I'm about to head out the door to go to the post office and get a coffee but my dossier order just came and you guys know I order myself a couple of dossier fragrances every single month and literally this box just showed up on my doorstep. I love dossier dossier basically replicates high-end perfumes for a much more affordable price typically between 29 and about 49 dollars per fragrance versus hundreds of dollars of the high-end perfumes and I love dossier. I love that I can have all these different perfumes available to me. I can get seasonal scents which make me really happy. I can buy some of my favorite high-end fragrances for a quarter of the price. So like I said I order myself two or so every single month and they just showed up and let's put some perfume on before we head out the door but I wanted to share with you the two fragrances that I grabbed for June. I really tried to focus on more summery bright scent since it is almost 100 degrees here. So the first scent is the floral honeysuckle and what I love I always say this about dossier is the magnetic lid. I can keep these in my purse and I don't have to worry about them spilling. I also take these when I travel because again with the magnetic lid I don't have to worry about spillage. Honeysuckle is inspired by Gucci Bloom. Now I love Gucci Bloom. It's floral, it's fresh, it's fruity, it's summer. The top notes in honey floral honeysuckle are green leaves orange and honeysuckle. The middle notes are jasmine, sandback, two bros and the base notes are oris, sandalwood and vanilla. So like I said it's fruity, it's floral, it's woodsy, it's summer, it's Gucci Bloom. Oh wow that smells so good. It's everything that I wanted in a summer fragrance. I definitely get the strong honeysuckle which is that sweetness and then you get the vanilla and the musk. It's amazing and it literally smells like Gucci Bloom because trust me I've smelled Gucci Bloom. I've almost put Gucci Bloom in my Ulta car on my Ulta app. I've almost added Gucci Bloom to my cart and I'm glad I didn't because this right here is Gucci Bloom for a for a fraction of the price. It's fruity honey. Now this is inspired by Joe Malone's nectarine blossom and honey cologne. I love Joe Malone, I love honey, I love orangey, citrus, fresh scents. Again perfect for summer. So the top notes in this are black currant and green leaves. The middle notes are honey and nectarine and your base notes are peach and velvet here. So this is definitely a more fruity fragrance. I've smelled this in store as well. Oh it's so yummy. I definitely smell the peach, I smell the honey. I think I'm gonna wear this one today. Smells so good. I mean both of these are quintessential summer fragrances and again for the fraction of the price of the designer brand. The one thing I do want to state about dossier is the lasting power isn't as good as the high-end brand but it's so affordable. You can just add another layer of perfume throughout the day which is what I typically do and I'd much rather pay 29 to 49 dollars than hundreds of dollars. So I'm so excited to have these for summer. I will link dossier down below for you with a 5% discount that you can actually piggyback on any other discount on the dossier website and every time I order they always have some type of sale going on and I love that you can piggyback that extra 5% off. So definitely check dossier out. So I am in the car on my way to run the errands that we talked about. I've added a third errand. Troy wants me to stop and get him a pop at the gas station which is perfect because it's right next to the post office. So our first stop is going to be Duncan. I got a little bit different coffee kind of changed it up so we'll see if we like it. We'll stop at the gas station grab Troy a pop and then we'll go to the post office. I've got bills to mail. I have a package to mail. I need to buy some stamps and I thought while we were in the car I could give you a little bit of a surgery update. So as a reminder I had plastic surgery one month ago today. I am a month post-op. That's why I was able to take a walk today. I sent pictures last night to the visit to the surgeon. I send pictures to my surgeon in Mexico every three days so that they can look over scars, how everything is healing, offer any suggestions. So in the check-in I had Troy take a close-up of my back incision because I want to confirm that the stitches have indeed dissolved because they were supposed to be dissolvable stitches and I wanted to make sure that everything looks good and that it's healing the way that's to be expected and then I always send a picture of my chest because I want them to be able to look at that and just make sure that it looks the way that it should look about a month post-op. And this is TMI so if you don't want to hear about boobs or nipples this is your chance to go ahead and exit out for a second but when I had my lift and implants they actually removed my nipples and then reattached them and they look so much better. Not going to lie my areola is definitely a lot smaller than it was. I had pretty large ones before so they look a little bit more normal I guess since it was cut and reattached it is cut all the way around and the skin around it is really dry so I want to make sure that it's okay that I put lotion on that so I really appreciate that the follow-up is so good with the plastic surgery team in Mexico that I can message her whenever I want and I follow up every three days. I'm waiting to hear back from the plastic surgery team and in that email I also asked about working out. He had originally told me that I could go back to boot camp lifting weights at four weeks which is today which isn't going to happen. I still can't really lift my arms about about right here without it being pretty uncomfortable so I'm wanting to get an update on thoughts of returning to working out. My thought based on how I feel in my body is that I'm hoping fingers crossed that I can go back to boot camp and go back to the actual gym and lift weights right around the beginning of July. So that's my personal goal but I'm just waiting to hear from them on their thoughts but everything's going really well. I would say that I feel about 80% back to normal. I have no pain on my back at all. The incision is a little bit sensitive still which is going to be sensitive until it's fully healed which should be just another week or two I would I would think and then my chest area I still have pressure. That's going to be a while. It's going to be uncomfortable until everything drops into place which can be months and months down the road. So overall though every day I feel like I get a little bit better. I really turned a corner this week in feeling normal and feeling good so I'm so grateful for that and I'm really really excited that I'm comfortable taking a walk now and my goal is to walk 30 minutes seven days a week and really just build back up that endurance so when I can go back to boot camp and can go back to the gym it's not a complete nightmare and I don't want to die. So I'm hoping to get those walks in every day. I guess I have a pickup order for Jen Clayton. Thank you. Okay I have my coffee so here's what I did. I did an iced americano decaf because I had that burn this morning and then I put in the sweet cream cold foam. It's not very foamy. So I haven't tried it yet. I haven't even taken a sip yet. I was thinking it was going to be more like Starbucks you know that has that nice foam on top. This doesn't really look like that. Hmm this isn't right. This is an americano with cream. There is no sweet cream whatsoever. It tastes good. It definitely has a good coffee taste but there's no flavor there's no sweetness at all. So I guess all I have to count is the little bit of cream that's in here. I always do two creams instead of three but this is definitely not what I ordered. Oh Duncan. I'm going to put together my lunch. I'm actually doing my meal prep. These are my turkey burgers that I prepped on Monday. If you miss meal prep I'll link it down below for you. I'm telling you these burgers are amazing. I put my burger on one of these keto buns. I love these. They have quite a bit of protein in them. I use a thin slice of cheese, some baby spinach, avocado, corn. I know that sounds weird but it's really good on these burgers and then I use some light mayo and for dessert I'm going to have one of my chocolate and walnut cookies that I also meal prep and these two think that they're having some lunch right along with me but let me go ahead and put together my burger and I'll show you my lunch. So here is my lunch. Look at my burger. It does not look amazing and then I have my chocolate walnut cookie. I'm telling you definitely try these burgers that I know they sound weird but they're really really good. I'll go ahead and put point calories macros here on the screen for you. Barkbox is here. Palmer already knows that it's here. So we're going to unbox this quickly so we can give him a baby. How to cut it open first bud. All right so oh this is cute. Okay so the month's theme is carnival barkers. So it looks like it's all carnival themed. In Barkbox every month you get two toys, two bags of treats and then some type of bone or chew. Typically and this is the large dog box. I just split it between my two dogs. Lola doesn't do treat or toys only Palmer does. I usually give her the bone out of here. I will link Barkbox down below for you with I believe it's a free month. If you sign up through the link I'll put it all down below for you but we have the corn dog. I know hang on this is so cute a little corn dog. Adorable and then we have the I know just a minute this is my life. The perfect pitch that actually has a ball and then the little toy that you the ball that you throw at those toys at the carnival games. How fun is that? Hey patience. The treats are ba-ba biscuits lamb recipe and swimmy jerky bites. Palmer is losing his mind and then we have a pumpkin and honey stick and then it shows you you know fun things you can do little games you can play with your dogs the other toys you could have got. So we'll ask Troy if he wants to get Palmer the corn dog or the little ball that you throw at the baby. Corn dog? Okay corn dog it is. Let me show you guys Palmer's reaction to the corn dog. Easy with the corn dog. There you go. Oh goodness. Go Palmer go. Go go. All right and I know what you want. You want the pumpkin and honey stick. Yeah you so do. Do you want some of this? Okay come over here Palmer. Come here. Yeah you go. There you go. I'm gonna have a quick afternoon snack. We just finished cleaning the house. I was actually able to mop. That's a big win. I'm going to have two of my Alyssa's cookies. You guys know I absolutely and I'm obsessed with these. I buy them off of her website. I heard they're on Amazon. They're cheaper on her website. So I'll link it for you and then I'm going to have a couple of hard boiled eggs for some protein. I'm going to start dinner here in about an hour and a half so I don't want to have too big of a snack. For dinner tonight I'm making an instant pot cheesy chicken burrito bowl. You can also make this on your stove top but I'm going to use my instant pot. It makes it really easy so let me show you what you'll need. First you're going to need chicken broth, rice. You can also use cauliflower rice. The recipe actually calls for both regular rice and cauliflower rice but Troy doesn't like it so I'm just going to do regular rice. Black beans, rotel, a jar of salsa, light shredded cheese, bell peppers, a pound of 96, 98 percent ground chicken and a onion. So I have my instant pot on saute mode. I sprayed it with some non-stick cooking spray, warmed it up. I'm going to add my pound of ground chicken and we're going to allow that to brown. Now I'm going to add in my chopped up bell pepper onion and let that saute down for about five more minutes. Now we're going to add all the rest of our ingredients. I did turn the saute mode so the instant pot is off. I'm going to add my can of black beans, undrained, my can of rotel, half of a cup of uncooked rice. You would also add your cauliflower rice if you were using it. A cup of chicken broth and a jar of salsa. Stir that all together really well. We're going to put the lid on our instant pot and cook it for 15 minutes. So once the instant pot went off I allowed it to naturally release for about 10 minutes. Then I manually released it, stirred it up and this looks so good. The last step is we're going to go ahead and add some light shredded cheese to the top and then I just throw the lid back on and it melts the cheese. I'll plate it up and I'll be back to share points, calories and macros. So here is dinner. This looks amazing. I topped it with a tablespoon of daisy light sour cream and 55 grams of avocado. Topped it with a little dried cilantro. This looks amazing. The recipe makes six servings total so it is a big serving and I'll go ahead and put points, calories, macros here on the screen without the toppings. That way if you don't use sour cream or avocado you have the accurate points and macros so this is dinner. So dessert tonight no surprise to anybody's going to be protein ice cream. So I made up my mix last night. What I did is one cup of Fairlife chocolate milk. One package of the clean simple eats. This is cookies and cream but I actually did mint chocolate cookie. It's so good you guys. It is literally like a mint chocolate ice cream shake and then I'm going to try out for the first time the Girl Scouts topping that I bought at Sam's Club. This is the thin mint cookie and I'll put some whipped cream on there. I'm so excited and this is such a big punch of protein and I get to eat the entire pint of ice cream. So nobody is mad about that. Perfect ice cream consistency. It's literally just the Fairlife milk and the clean simple eats. I'm going to add my whipped cream and my Girl Scout topping. All right and here is my ice cream. So I added just a teaspoon of that which is 15 calories. I am so excited for this. This looks absolutely delicious. Again I got the Girl Scout mix at Sam's Club. I'll go ahead and put points, calories, macros here on the screen for you. Thank you for joining me for today's What I Eat in a Day on WW.
