I will link it down below It just wasn't here in time for me to share with you in last week's what I eat in a day So I thought I would share it with you I know i'm going to get some questions on it because it's so cute so comfortable My recommendation on this one would be to size up It is a little bit tighter fitting now the black and the red one go ahead and order your traditional size Those are linked in last week what I eat in a day But with this brown one in this long sleeved one in general it actually comes in several colors Definitely a size up. So that's my shirt. That's my outfit. Let's jump into the what I eat in a day This week's what I eat in a day. I'm so happy that you clicked on Today's video. I have a really good day full of amazing food some new Food finds we're going to make a really good dinner recipe But before we jump into the first meal of the day breakfast as you saw I had coffee I just filled up my first cup of water. This is the brew make up I love these they keep your water cold all day similar to a yeti But a little bit more affordable. I'll link the brew mate website down below for you But I love this glass literally keeps my water cold all day I can leave this sitting out on my desk while I'm working And I can come back hours later and my water is nice and cold, which is amazing But before I have my breakfast, I'm going to de-stress a little bit this morning As you know, it has been a very very stressful last couple of weeks And honestly, I need a little bit of a break from all of the stress As you can see behind me the floors in the living room the formal living room are done We've put our furniture back in we are not done though with the floors of our house We still have four or five more days before it's going to be done They've ran into several hiccups along the way I will fill you guys in a little bit later give you a little tour of how the floors are looking But before I have my breakfast this morning, like I said, I need a moment to de-stress I need a little bit of a break from my chaotic life. Also, as you know, I've been really into essential oils I diffuse them quite regularly in my office But I did a little bit of research into topical essential oils Especially during this really stressful time during pms I'm going to share with you guys something really great that I found when it comes to pms And just overall daily symptoms whether it's related to our gut Headaches stress sleep I've been doing some research into topical essential oils and I found this brand pohima They are a hundred percent natural essential oils. It's really like a spa when you use their products They're crafted with a hundred percent pure therapeutic grade natural plant extracts and can be used for things like stress anxiety Tension focus relaxation and balance. What I love about them is they have zero additives toxins or gmos And they're gcms laboratory tested in the united states for purity So what I ended up doing was picking up This pack as you saw this pohima God's craft work pocket pack and in that pocket pack you actually receive Five separate essential oils and the booklet here on how to use the oils, which is really nice It tells you where to place the oils on your body and what's in the oils that helps relieve the ailment So the five essential oils in this little pocket pack are headspace better belly restore Recover and distress normally this retails for 90 dollars. It's currently on sale on their website for 39 97 which I think is a great deal for five essential oils topical that you can rub on And relieve all the five ailments that are treated in this pocket pack So I will link it down below for you with an additional Discount that I was able to get from the company for you guys if you're interested in the topical essential oils So today just because of life I'm going to be utilizing the de stress essential oil and per the little booklet in the pack here It tells you to place this oil on your forehead your neck and your chest area So that's exactly what I did. It feels really good. It smells amazing It's not overpowering, but you definitely feel like you're at a spa and just putting the essential oils on just that alone Help me de stress. So I am excited about these. I thought that I would share them with you I love that it comes in this cute little zip up pouch. So it makes it great for travel Great for storage. Again, I will go ahead and link them down below But I'm loving this and this is one thing that I've done for myself to help me de stress Yeah, make everything For today, I made a makeshift avocado toast Sandwich so what I ended up using was one slice of the sourdough bread from the walmart bakery One egg that I cooked in my little microwave a cooker that I bought off of amazon I will make sure I link it down below for you A tablespoon of light shredded cheese and then I have two points worth of avocado Cut it in half and made it into a sandwich and then of course I'm having some fruit. So I'm having about a half of a cup or so Of grapes. So the bread is three points The avocado is two points and the cheese is one point grapes are zero. So my breakfast is six points So as you saw, I just finished my breakfast and as promised I wanted to give you some information on a product that I have found that has really really helped me out When it comes to that time of the month disclaimer, we will be talking about pms We will be talking about a women's natural monthly cycle If you're not interested in this content, please get forward to the timestamp here on the screen You have been warned I'm excited to share with you guys this product that I found when it comes to my cycle as you may or may not know I have a relatively heavy cycle. It comes with a lot of cramping. I'm generally extremely fatigued I've talked about this a few times in my weigh-in videos or in videos in general Relating to my time of the month. It makes me really fatigued and tired and because I have such a heavy cycle I'm constantly changing out my feminine product and sometimes I'm on the go. I'm in my real estate office I'm showing houses. I'm a jazzer size. I'm running around and I forget sometimes to pack a feminine hygiene product with me And I find that sometimes I know it's a little bit of tmi I can even get a little bit of irritation from them So I decided to look into period proof underwear and I thought that this would serve a double purpose It would be of course my underwear for the day But it would also give me the opportunity to have my period control built into my underwear I ended up going with the brand the lova and I ordered two pairs of their period underwear First I have the seamless highways. These actually hold up to two tampons worth. They are a really silky soft material I like that they're a brief that they're high waisted because during my cycle I don't really care about having cute underwear. They're very stretchy They're very silky and the pad portion of the underwear feels very natural It's built in to the underwear itself And it just feels a little bit thicker than the normal pad in normal underwear The other thing I love about these is I'm not putting a product or near that area that I don't know What's in that product? Is it safe to be putting in that area? So I like that these are good for you good for the planet You're eliminating a lot of excess waste with pads and tampons and super super good for your wallet They're affordable. They're a one-time purchase. You simply throw them into your washer to wash them I'm loving these it helps you feel dry feel fresh feel secure and feel free because you just simply put these on in the morning And you don't have to worry about packing pads or tampons with you And then I also grab the seamless hipster. So these ones go a little bit higher on your hip They offer just a little bit more coverage and support and these also hold up to two tampons worth So I love both of the pairs that I have. I'm actually going to be ordering some more They have every style they even have thong if that's something that you're interested in I am in the middle of my cycle right now and these have seriously Been a complete game changer. I've washed both pairs a couple of times They still feel really really soft. They're very very high quality and again, I like that. I know what's in that area I know that it's safe. It's secure I can just simply put on my underwear in the morning and go on with my day and not have to worry about Packing any pads or tampons. So I'm really liking these. I thought I would share them with you I know it's not the most comfortable topic, but listen it's something most of us need So I wanted to share with you this great find because I'm absolutely Loving these and I cannot wait to order some more I will make sure they're linked down in the description box for you And I will also include a discount I was able to secure for you guys as well if you're interested in picking them up diesel Can I help you? Well, hi, buddy. Lola. Do you want to go outside? No, your ears are bad. Are you okay? Oh bummer. What you doing? What you doing? Come here, baby. Well, come on. You can have a moment of peace Yeah, you can have a moment of peace So I wanted to show you guys these new bars that I ordered from organe I ordered the pumpkin spice protein powder. I cannot wait To get it. So I ordered that and then I wanted to go ahead and get free shipping I do have a discount for organe So I'll link that down below for you because of using the discount I needed to order a little bit more for free shipping and I have seen these bars at the grocery store I've heard really good things about these bars. These are the organe kids bars. This one's peanut butter This one is chocolate chip. There's 10 grams of whole grain 35 less sugar. No soy no dairy They're vegan non-gmo and gluten free This one is five points. This one is four points So I picked them up because I thought that they would be the perfect Size for a snack and honestly, they are pretty good sized for a kids bar I thought these would be great pre or post workout. They'd be just a really good snack There's four grams of protein in the peanut butter and two grams in the chocolate chip I have not tried them yet. They actually just came in the mail So I'm gonna have the peanut butter one today will do a first impression taste test This one again is five points. This one is four points And then I'm going to have my better bootch in citrus that I picked up at natural grocers So I count this as one point. Although ww counts. It is three and then five for the bar There are only 130 calories apiece. So five points is a lot As usual on the ww math. It is five points and then one for the kombucha. So my snack is six points So here's what the bar looks like. It looks like a baked Cookie, I guess is the best way to call it kind of like an oatmeal cookie It's soft definitely oatmeal cookie vibes oatmeal cookie texture Mmm, this is really good really really good Sweet perfect for kids. It's like the perfect texture taste for kids Really like this superglot that I picked these up highly recommend highly highly recommend I looked out into my living room and this is what I see Yeah, we have sheets on the couch for the construction and somebody It's halfway under them Hi, what are you doing? You're not really not supposed to be up on this couch, mister Okay, night night. Here is my lunch for today. I'm eating lunch late you guys It's one o'clock already and I'm just now getting hungry. I'm pretty hungry now So I'm definitely ready for some lunch. Of course I'm still working on my gallon of water and I decided to go ahead and make up a chicken wrap It has been a minute since I've had a chicken wrap. It's one of my favorite easy low point low calorie Really good lunches. So I have six of the earth's best Kids chicken nuggets. These are really really good. I like them as much as I like the kid fresh nuggets These actually have better ingredients They are a little bit more points But I will take them because they're better ingredients and the calories are pretty much the same with the kid fresh I have it on one of these la banderita carb counter tortillas for one point I always spread a laughing cow cheese wedge and then I just have a couple of the Sonoma fresh pickles watermelon for fruit and then my little sweet treat Is one of my newest obsessions. I've shared this in my facebook group I think I shared this in another video too. I don't remember which one it was my grocery haul That's what it was. These are amazing. They're from the brand choco love their pumpkin spice In 33 percent milk chocolate. They're individually wrapped and you can have three of these for 130 calories There are about two points a piece. I'm just going to have one just for that little sweet treat after lunch I will go ahead and put points and calories here on the screen for you and I'm going to dig into my lunch So as promised, I want to give you guys an update on the flooring So I'm going to take you just kind of quickly through my house I have a zoom call with my challenge group in about 20 minutes and speaking of challenge group my holiday challenge Last 90 days of 2021 challenge starts october 1st All the information's over on my facebook group if you want to join us highly recommend It's a great way to be accountable and not gain the pounds Over the holidays. So check out my facebook group if you're interested and let me give you that quick flooring update So the hallway is done. Actually most of the flooring is complete There's the old flooring what's on the stairs there They're waiting for the bullnose pieces Before they finish that but the rest of the hallway is done And then if you remember Troy's bathroom had the black and white kind of marbled looking tiles It now has the pretty new wood floors. They just have to re-put in his vanity and toilet apparently That's happening on monday and then laundry room is done The rest of the house is done. I showed you guys all this last time like the kitchen and the living room is completely done We still have our couches covered just because they haven't done the base or the molding yet And we don't want all of the dust and dirt to fall on our couch I literally had to vacuum this couch with the shop back. It was so dirty from just doing the floor We got the furniture back in our main living room. We got our dining room table Back you guys know that my office was done They did finish this hallway and they get the flooring in the other bathroom our new toilet and they're working on our new vanity It's really hard to see with these lights. We have the Edison bulb type of light So they're a little bit yellowed But the vanity is this nice dark wood with this white and gray brown Top it's really nice and it does match all the frames around the artwork and the shower This too should be finished on monday. So all that's left is base and just getting the last few finishing touches up So like I said, hopefully we are done with the floors by wednesday or thursday So by the time you see this video or the next day, hopefully all of the flooring is done And I can decorate for halloween. So stay tuned for a little halloween tour Maybe in the next what I eat in a day, but yeah, we're loving it. It's been a process Lots more has happened since the horrible story. I'll share that with you guys in the final reveal because It just keeps getting better and better afternoon snack before my call I'm just going to have one of my good culture cottage cheese. I was so excited to find these back at my cosco I hope that they stick around this time. So I'm going to have this as my afternoon snack before that zoom call For dinner tonight. I am making a swedish meatball Pasta bake now I went ahead and halved the recipe because it's just trolling myself But if you have a larger family the recipe actually makes a double the amount that I'm going to be sharing with you So let me show you what's in our dinner first You're going to need some pasta and as always per the usual in the clayton household We use the fiber gourmet pasta. It's our very very favorite It is only a hundred calories per two ounce serving or two smart points versus five or six smart points of regular pasta And less than half the calories. It has a 25 grams of fiber 17 net carbs seven grams of protein It's amazing the taste the texture incredible. I will link an attrition down below That's actually where you purchase the pasta. They have the best price and the biggest selection So highly recommend going through their website and again, it will be linked down below for you You're also going to need some beef broth the recipe called for nutmeg and allspice. I'm just going to sub pumpkin spice I know that sounds odd, but trust the process. You're going to need an onion 96 extra lean ground beef minced garlic worcestershire sauce salt pepper butter panko breadcrumbs low fat milk An egg and some flour so to get started on dinner. I have my skillet here I'm going to add four tablespoons of light butter salt and pepper About half of a teaspoon of pumpkin pie spice and I did chop up that onion So we're going to add that as well And then we're going to pop this on the stove and allow those onions to saute down a little bit And we're going to get our hamburger ready We're going to put one cup of panko breadcrumbs in a medium sized bowl Set this aside. I added a scoop of minced garlic Two thirds cup of milk to that onion mixture And then we're just going to allow this to simmer for just a couple of minutes We're going to take the onion mixture and add it to the one cup of panko breadcrum And then we're just going to stir that together and set it aside I'm going to add one egg here to this small bowl whisk that up to the breadcrumb mixture We're going to add the pound of 96 percent extra lean ground beef and the egg Now we need to mix all of this together really well and even though it can be gross It's best to go ahead and go in with your hands But before doing so decide how you want to cook your meatballs Whether that be on a sheet pan in the oven or in a skillet on the stove top Get that ready to go because once we get this meatball mixture combined We're going to go ahead and roll it into the meatballs So I'm going to go ahead and cook up the meatballs on the stove top You just want to cook them until they are cooked all the way through and brown and crispy I'm also going to cook up my fiber gourmet pasta El dente and then set that aside so we can assemble the casserole once the meatballs are done We're ready to start putting together a portion of the dinner So I have my pasta cooked al dente since I have the recipe. I'm adding it to Half the size of pan. Generally you would use a nine by 13 But you also use two packs of pasta So I have one pack added it to my baking dish and then I'm just going to pop my meatballs on top So here's what we have so far now. We're going to make the sauce to go on top For the sauce in the same skillet we cooked the meatballs in I'm going to add three tablespoons of light butter And one eighth of a cup of flour And I'm going to put this on the stove and melt and mix all of this together We're going to add in two cups of beef broth half of a tablespoon of worcestershire sauce And a little bit of pepper and a quarter of a cup of water Go ahead and bring this to a boil allow it to simmer We want to make sure that the flour gets fully incorporated And we do want our sauce to have time to thicken Once your sauce has started to thicken up really good in the pan We're going to add in one quarter of a cup of low-fat milk and that's going to make it nice and creamy And then we're ready to add the sauce right over the top of the meatballs and the pasta I'm going to put the pasta bake in the oven at 375 degrees for 30 minutes. All right, I just pulled dinner out of the oven. This looks incredible I'm going to let this rest for just a couple of minutes Serve it up and I'll be back to share points and calories. This entire pan is for servings All right, here is my dinner. Sorry for the football in the background. It is football season In this house. So again, the pan makes four servings total So it's quite a large serving fiber gourmet pasta helps keep the points and calories Much much lower. It is seven points on all Plans I will go ahead and put calories here on the screen But that is going to be tonight's dinner and I have a super fun special dessert for tonight So here is my dessert for tonight. I'm really excited to share with you guys the brand New flavor from smart sweets. These are the cola Gummies they are delicious. They're so so good.
