So without further ado, let's jump into what I eat today on WW. And this morning I have an Asian pear that I cut up. This is actually from my imperfect foods box. If you guys have imperfect foods in your area, highly recommend great produce, great products, less expensive by about 30% than the grocery store. And the company itself is designed to help prevent food waste by having us purchase the items that would be thrown away at a steep discount. So definitely check them out. I'll link them down below with $10 worth of free groceries for you. I went ahead and cooked up one full egg and two egg whites. And then I really wanted a bagel this morning. So I popped a Western bagel, blueberry bagel into my toaster here. These are only three smart points per bagel for an entire bagel, 120 calories, low fat, low carb, no artificial sweeteners. The blueberry is actually one of my very, very favorites. And then I topped it with two tablespoons of one third less fat cream cheese. So everything I'm having for breakfast is zero points, except for my bagel with cream cheese, which is a total of five smart points. So I will also link Western bagel down below. I do have 10% off and they do free shipping over $25. So you can pick up some great bagels for only three smart points for a full bagel. The key is make sure you get the ones that say alternative. Those are the ones that are only three points. Some of them are two. Some of them are three. The little mini bagels are one point, but as long as they say alternative, you're good to go. So this is breakfast for five smart points. First thing in the morning, I have stripped the bed to do some laundry with our remodel of our bathroom. Our house is a disaster and our bedding just gets really dirty. Not to mention him and Lola lay on it all the time. But I've been getting a lot of questions from you guys about the Souterra pillow that I showed you in a previous vlog. A lot of you bought this pillow and are loving it, and I wanted to give you an update on what we think about it. And if we're using it, if we're still liking it, and then of course I'll link it down below. I know that it's a little late for Christmas, but it's just a great kind of self care item to give yourself moving into the new year. So the answer is yes, it's in my stack of pillows. All the pillowcases are in the washer, but we are loving this. I use this every single night. It has this indentation here for your head. I was waking up a lot in the morning with headaches. I was having neck pain. This is completely and eliminated that for me. So if you're someone that wakes up with a stiff neck in the morning, this little divot in this pillow is genius. It takes all of the neck ache and headaches out in the morning. And then I often sleep on my stomach. So what I'll do is my head goes here and then these indents in the arms, like I showed you guys, we actually put our arm in and sleep like that, which is much better than sleeping on your arms and waking up with your arms falling asleep. So it's just taken a lot of the aches and pains out. We are absolutely loving it. It's affordable. I highly, highly recommend this pillow. And again, I'm going to link it down in the description box for you guys. Get this for yourself, your husband, your kids, as a little self care again, moving into the new year. I'm going to have a little morning snack. You saw me pull this little built bite out of my advent calendar from Built Bar. This is two smart points. It is the peanut butter. What's great is it is small for two points when you can have a full bar for four, but it's a nice little easy treat with seven grams of protein, only two smart points. If you're not super hungry, you just want a little something. I really like the built bites for that. So I'm going to have that. And then I just poured myself a glass here of the GT's kombucha for one point. So this is my three point morning snack. I'm heading in to give you a bathroom update, but we'll stop real quick and say hi to her. Why you want your dog bed? Huh? And I'm in the process of watching all of our bedding, but somebody else is pretty cozy. Yeah, you're pretty cozy, but yeah, you sure are. Bathroom update you guys. It's coming along. We have the toilet put back in because the flooring is done. So that's our new flooring. Our shower looks much more finished from the last time that you saw it. Most of the tile is done. Not all of the grouting is done, but also here in the shower, the niches as well as the bench and all of the flooring is done and the furniture pieces are starting to make their way in. This is my makeup vanity, which I'm so excited about. I'm going to have my very own space to get ready. My makeup will be out of Troy's way. We put in this absolutely gorgeous kind of rusted metal light that I bought on Etsy. These light fixtures I purchased off of Etsy as well and they come with matching mirrors and the double vanity is in as well. We're just waiting for countertop. So it is coming along and of course Lola always comes in. She's so nosy. It's coming along. I can't believe how much bigger. Let me flip these on for you guys. How much bigger in general my bathroom looks without that big tub in the corner. It is 12.15 and I'm going to have some lunch. I'm actually pretty excited about this. I'm not super hungry, but this just sounded really good. So I have a Walmart bun. I just buy these, throw them in the freezer and then when I want a bun, I just take one out of the time to frost it and use it. That way they last a long time and I topped my bun with this, which is what's making this lunch. So exciting. This is all natural pulled pork with barbecue sauce. You can have a quarter of a cup for four points. That's what I have here. This actually came from my imperfect foods box. I love imperfect foods because they always have new and exciting things as well as up to 30% less than the grocery store. You help prevent food waste. So I got this out of imperfect foods and I am obsessed. So I'm going to look next time I order and buy another one. You can even freeze these. It's raised by US family farmers with sustainable and humane practices. No antibiotics or added hormones. It's amazing. Like it is so, so good you guys. So again, imperfect foods. I'll link them down below with $10 worth of free groceries. Then then I'm going to have this two good yogurt just as kind of a sweet treat, getting in an actual little bit of protein. And then I actually just filled my water for about the fourth time. So here's where I am. I'm down to about the 4pm, 3pm mark and it's only noon. So I'm doing really, really well on my water. I'll link this gallon water bottle down below. You guys always, always ask about it. So my lunch is two points for the bun, four points for the pulled pork and two points for the yogurt makes this an eight smart point lunch. Another update. I have not even shown you guys, but I mentioned that my Facebook group does a Christmas card exchange every year. You guys look at how many Christmas cards I have. And this was full over two weeks ago. And now I'm actually putting all of my extra cards, which is just piles and piles of them up here in this cute little basket. And then I end up filling up the one with my Jazzercise scarf as well. So if you're not part of my Facebook group, we do this every year. It's kind of a fun way to bring back Christmas cards because I don't know about you, but I miss the joy of opening my mailbox and finding Christmas cards. It is afternoon snack time and I'm feeling like some cottage cheese. So I have four points of the good culture cottage cheese, the one I always, always use, topped it with one point worth of croutons. I like to crush those up in the cottage cheese. It kind of gives it this savory flavor. It's so, so good. So this is a total of five smart points for my afternoon snack. Best filled up, my final water bottle, my gallon of water is gone. For tonight's dinner, I'm making a taco skillet. This is a 25 minute meal, easy, peasy, great for a busy weeknight or weekend. It's Sunday. I'm exhausted. I'm ready to go relax. So this is the perfect meal. Let me show you what's in dinner. You'll need salt, oil of your choice. I just have avocado oil, beans of your choice. The recipe calls for black beans. I'm using this tri-bean blend. I actually really like this one because it has black kidney and pinto. So it's a little bit of everything. Diced tomatoes, diced green chilies, ground turkey breast, 99% fat free. We'll keep the point really low on this recipe. Onion, tomato for topping, mission extra thin corn tortillas, taco seasoning and light shredded cheese. Now we will probably add sour cream to our meal as well, but let's make the taco skillet. First thing I'm going to do is dice my onion and my tomato. We'll set the tomato aside and the onion actually gets cooked in the skillet with the meat. In a large skillet, go ahead and add a tablespoon of oil. Warm it up. Add in your diced onion and we're going to let this cook until the onion starts to be translucent. We're going to add in the pound of 99% ground turkey. And then I'm actually adding my entire packet of taco seasoning. The recipe says two teaspoons. It may be more than that in the packet, but we really want it taco flavored. So I went ahead and added in the entire packet. Get that stirred up and allow the ground turkey to cook completely through. I added in my can of beans drained and rinsed. We're going to add in the entire can of diced green chilies and the entire can of diced tomatoes. And then we are going to stir this up, let this simmer, come to a boil and then simmer on the stove for about five minutes. Once it's simmered on the stove for five minutes, we're going to take eight of the mission extra thin corn tortillas and we're going to place those on top. It is okay if they overlap each other. Just go ahead and add all eight to the tortillas. We're going to add one cup of light shredded cheese. Go ahead and sprinkle it on top. You can then place a lid on to allow the cheese to melt. And then you guys, that's it. Dinner is just about ready. Go ahead and remove your pan from the heat with the lid on it. And we're going to let this stand for five to 10 minutes. That's really going to soften up the tortillas and melt the cheese. Are you ready? Doesn't this look incredible? So when we go to serve it up, I'll top it with the tomatoes, some sour cream. I'll be back to show you dinner, give you points and calories. So here is my dinner. So this is one sixth of the taco skillet. It is five smart points on blue and purple, eight points on green. Since I'm on the blue plan, it's five for me. I topped it with one tablespoon of light sour cream for two smart points. So my dinner is a total of seven smart points for dessert tonight. I'm going to have three points worth of these mini peppermint marines. I think that's six or seven pieces. I love these. They're so good. I thought I would round out my night with peppermint, my favorite thing ever during the holiday season. You can may still be able to get these at Trader Joe's, but these are one of my very, very favorites. Thank you for joining me on another What I Eat in a Day on WW. I hope you had fun coming along with me today. It was a fantastic day and you definitely, definitely want to make tonight's dinner recipe. It's incredible.
