 good morning good afternoon good evening whenever you're watching this it is morning for me it is 4.54 a.m. and I am headed as always to boot camp boy we've got a busy day today I'm going to take you guys along with me we have several errands to run I'm actually going to lunch with one of the girls from my boot camp group who I've become good friends with so I'll kind of share with you guys how I navigate that hopefully I'll be able to take a little bit of footage to show you my lunch there may be several of us going to lunch I have coaching calls today I'm really been refocused on protein and making sure that I'm getting in protein with every meal and snack and really focusing on making that a priority I want to buckle down a little bit more this next month or so before I go to Hawaii and then I'm also going to a nutrition conference the beginning of November so I have two pretty big trips planned where I want to kind of buckle down continue to kind of lean out and tone up for those two trips listen I'll be wearing a lot of bathing suits so I want to make sure that I am in the best shape that I can be so I'm kind of buckling down a little bit more on my food so you'll see that throughout today's what I eat in a day so I started my day off this morning with my protein coffee it gets me about 30 grams of protein right out of the gate I drank about half of it I'll finish the rest when I get home from boot camp as I get ready for the day but we've got a busy day so of course I'll take you with me we've got a really good dinner recipe tonight and then just some good meals throughout the day one thing I wanted to ask you guys and I'm also going to post this poll or question in my facebook group is I have been thinking about creating some merch no longer the merch that I currently offer it's not creating some merch and I want to lean on coffee protein coffee protein you know things that really emulate us here on this channel and I wanted to know your guys thoughts on slogans and jargon for merch so let me know down in the comments if you have any ideas of what type of merch slogans and jargons that I could do I'm thinking things like tank tops and t-shirts and sweatshirts and just things that that would define our community here on youtube so let me know your suggestions down below I will see you at breakfast it's time for some breakfast I am hungry I have about an hour and a half before we have to head out the door we have a lot to do today I'll fill you in when we get in the car but I'm going to have a protein shake I really want to focus on supplementing protein post workout so I got home from boot camp about an hour ago got ready for the day and now I'm going to have a protein packed breakfast with some healthy carbs so let me show you what I'm going to be doing so I'm going to use the motivate vanilla protein powder now I'll show you exactly how I put together my protein shake this is one of my favorite little concoctions and I'll tell you a little bit more about motivate protein but it's really good they have vanilla and they have chocolate so you have lots of options this is a great protein powder to bake with as well but today I'm going with vanilla so it's 100 calories 20 grams of protein per scoop just one of the other products from the motivate that I absolutely love so we're going to do a scoop of that we'll do eight ounces or one cup of our fair life milk I like to do some blueberries about a half of a cup or so basically the frozen blueberries are going to serve as my ice and a fruit so it's I need enough of the frozen blueberries to make my protein shake shake like and then I'm also going to pop in some chia seeds you won't even know these are there but you're going to get all of the fiber and all of the health benefits from the chia seed so a little bit about motivates protein this is actually a non-gmo protein and like I said it comes in chocolate and it comes in vanilla it's 100% weight protein that's a high quality protein supplement it helps build maintain and repair muscle helps you feel fuller and satisfied for longer also helps reduce hunger the weight protein formula comes with additional essential nutrients amazing things like biotin so it helps support your overall health and function it doesn't cause bloating or gas like similar protein brands and people who are sensitive to whey protein can actually use motivate because it is such a high quality protein it's amazing that it's only 100 calories per serving with 20 grams of protein that means 20% of the calories of the protein powder is coming from protein which is exceptional and you can even buy a combo of one bag of vanilla and one bag of chocolate and you end up saving about $10 and you can piggyback my code on top of that for an additional 20% off absolutely delicious you do not taste the chia seeds there's no texture of the chia seeds the blueberries add just this fruity sweetness to the protein shake and the vanilla is a very rich vanilla a very flavorful vanilla this is super super delicious as always i will link motivate down below for you with a 20 discount such a fantastic discount from an amazing amazing brand like i mentioned i use a lot of their products but i highly recommend their protein powder especially if you want an easy digestible whey protein that is fantastic for not only protein shakes but also for baking highly recommend so i'm just finishing up my motivate protein shake you guys it's so good i'm going to head into the kitchen pack up some snacks because i am going to be gone a big chunk of the morning so i want to make sure that i'm prepared and have healthy snacks so i'll show you what i'm going to bring with me i'm dressed i'm ready the last thing i need to do is pop on some perfume for the day and look what just arrived i literally just pulled my package off of my doorstep of my dossier fragrances i do treat myself to two dossier fragrances every month it's just something i like to do for myself a little bit of self-care so i picked up two for the month of september dossier actually replicates high-end brands for a much more affordable price so dossier fragrances are actually between 29 and 49 dollars per fragrance rather than hundreds of dollars that you'll pay at sephora altar department stores you're getting the same quality fragrance for a much more affordable price i will say that the one thing i do notice with dossier is that the lasting power isn't as much as the high end but it's so affordable you can just add a little bit more fragrance throughout the day that's what i do and every time i wear a dossier fragrance i always get a million compliments and people ask me all the time what i'm wearing so again i treated myself to two new fragrances for september the packaging is always really really nice it's a great gift because it does come so nicely packaged there is a little card that tells you about the fragrance and then the fragrance itself comes in a nice glass bottle kind of minimal which i like but what i love is that it has the magnetic lid so i can keep this in my purse and not have to worry about the fragrance spilling i always have a dossier fragrance in my purse so the first one that i picked up was woody hyacinth and this actually replicates chanel chance now that is a fragrance that i really really love but that is a very pricey fragrance i mean chanel is a very very pricey brand so i wanted to grab the one from dossier so let me tell you what the notes are in the fragrance so your top notes are hyacinth lemon and pineapple so it is going to be a little bit fruity a little bit sweet a great transition scent into fall from summer your middle notes are jasmine pink pepper and patchouli and your base notes are vanilla verbatier and orza oris so let's test this i want to see if this is chanel chance because i've smelled that several times ooh yes it's layers of freshness and spice and sweet and floral it's really a well-rounded fragrance it definitely when you first smell it you get that woodsy and then it filters into a little bit more sweet a little bit more floral this smells incredible let's smell the other one before we decide what fragrance to wear today and this retails at full price on the dossier website for $29 right now it's currently on sale dossier is always running sales and you can use my code here on the screen for additional 5% off already sale priced perfume so you get to double stack your discounts and dossier also sells a lot of men's fragrances as well as unisex fragrance so there's a little bit of something for everyone so the second scent that i picked up is fruity neroli this one is inspired by armani's my way now i have the my way perfume already the actual armani one and i really love it but i thought let me test out the dossier to see how close it is to the actual fragrance that i have in my fragrance collection this one also retails for only $29 and of course has and of course you can piggyback the discount so the notes in this one this one's going to be even a little bit more fruity a little bit more summer your top notes are bergamot neroli black current and strawberry i love the inclusion of strawberry in this fragrance that's what gives it a little bit of sweetness your middle notes are jasmine two bros and orange blossom and your base notes are vanilla musk and cedar wood so again both of these amazing transition scents from summer to fall this one fruity neroli is going to be a little bit more summer leaning it blows my mind this smells like my my way perfume like i said i have that perfume it smells exactly like it it is sweet it is vanilla there's a tiny tiny bit of an undertone of musk it's literally sunshine in a bottle like sweet sunshine in a bottle and it's $29 it just blows my mind how they replicate those high end perfumes so well i feel like we should wear this one today only because it's a hunt over 100 degrees here today it's still summer technically so let's do this one but both of these fragrances spot on to the high end and $29 at full price before any discount and there are always amazing discounts on the dossier website and go ahead and use my code here on the screen for an additional 5 off also keep dossier in mind for christmas gifts i gifted it last year to a few people and they absolutely loved it just as much as i do so i'm smelling all good let's go ahead and go into the kitchen pack some snacks for the morning and we'll get on the road so here's what i'm going to bring for snacks we're going to stop at my favorite coffee shop in Tucson since it's literally up the road from where we're headed so i'm going to get a coffee as well but i'm bringing two of the little cuties because they don't have to be refrigerated that's what makes it really easy it is another hot day today right around 100 degrees and then i have the vermont uncured pepperoni meat stick i actually really really love this meat stick 10 grams of protein and then for a little healthy fat a little chocolate a little salty sweet i'm bringing mini kind bar all right i'm in the car giving you a rundown of the plan it is currently about 8 40 am first stop is tsa so i actually finally finally this is something i've needed to do for a long time i finally applied online for tsa pre-check so i'm actually going in this morning to have my interview my friend kate at bootcamp this morning said they literally ask you like five questions so i don't anticipate it being an intense interview but i'm going in for that first thing this morning i have to be there in just under an hour i had to bring my birth certificate and my driver's license i'm also going to apply for global entry my plan is to go to australia at some point with my friend michelle and we do live really close to mexico so if i ever wanted to travel there it's just since i'm doing pre-check it just kind of makes sense to do the global entry as well but before that we are going to stop at my favorite coffee shop like i mentioned in tussan called black rock coffee it is my all-time favorite coffee shop so we're going to go there get a coffee to kind of power us through our morning after the tsa pre-check since it is in tussan i think i'm going to go to my favorite raw store which is literally right off of the same exit as i have to take for tsa pre-check i think i want to go there and check out their halloween and fall stuff i always look at dog treats while i'm there i just i'm feeling like a little bit of a raw trip just to kind of see what we can find i'd like to get a few more halloween tight pieces or fall pieces for my yard so that's on their list i have a package and some bills that i need to mail will make a run by the post office and if there is a ups store close to where i am i do have a amazon return troy ordered a car holder phone car holder no he didn't phone holder for his new truck for our jeep truck and he hates it he said it's really crappy quality for as expensive as it was so i need to return that and then i am going to lunch at 11 30 today with my friend melissa from boot camp as well as my friend kate and then we also invited one of the other girls at the 5k uh named amy so we're gonna do like a little boot camp girls lunch at this really good mexican restaurant in green valley so i'm hoping i can get a little clip even just of my food just to show you what i ordered the one time i've been there i had fish tacos and they were so good so i'm kind of thinking fish tacos but i may do an enchilada we'll just have to see what we end up with when we get there and then i have to come home immediately after lunch because palmer has to go to the vet at 2 for a heartworm test he needs a refill of his heartworm medication and they won't refill it without the test to confirm he doesn't have heartworm so troy's going to bring palmer to the vet because palmer's all about daddy and i'm gonna say home with lola i have a really good dinner recipe planned for tonight i have a coaching call this afternoon so like i said it's just a really really busy day and i thought what we would do is since i'm already out for tsa that i would just kill time until lunch rather than come all the way home so whatever we can fit in in the amount of time that we have before lunch we are going to do that so next stop coffee so i'm at black rock they are not using their speaker box actually have to pull up to the window to order so once i get my coffee i'll show you exactly what i order typically when i come here here is my coffee so if you have a black rock what i typically order i switched it up actually about six months ago because i like this one better than what i used to get this is a 24 ounce iced americano with the blackout flavoring it's chocolate and hazelnut but i get it in sugar-free and then i do one ounce of cream i mean barely any cream at all about half what they normally put in it is so good if you love chocolate if you love hazelnut it's very decadent and rich and i love it and i love that it's sugar-free so i'll pop the points and everything and calories here on the screen for you next stop tsa well that was an adventure i could not find this place at all nowhere does it say tsa other than by the door and it kept napping me to some residential address but we made it we're here i'm late so hopefully not too late so that was a total waste of time i got all the way here waited for 20 minutes past my appointment time because you know they're always late picking everybody out of the the lobby so i wait he brings me to the back i given my birth certificate my credit card my driver's license and then he says oh your driver's license last name and birth certificate aren't the same i'm like no because i married and that's my maiden name apparently i did not know this nor did it tell me this anywhere when i registered to come in that i actually have to bring in any divorce decrees any marriage decrees from my maiden name till current all legal documents have to be brought in so i came all the way here for no reason and then on my way out i was waiting to try to make an appointment i stood there for 10 minutes nobody came i'm really over at this point so i am going to just forgo tsa precheck for a while until i get back from this trip to california because i don't know when i'm going to be able to drive all the way back out here and then i need to gather all of that information um yeah i'm a bit frustrated that was a total waste of well end up being like an hour and a half almost two hours of driving and then i couldn't find the place it's a hot mess it's a hot mess so we're going to do a little retail therapy at ross i actually just ate my little kind bar and my oranges so i'm going to toss that in the garbage let's see what we can find maybe i'll feel a little bit better about my life if i can find some cute things so no luck on any outdoor halloween stuff at ross they did have some halloween stuff just nothing outdoor so of course i did pick up a few toys for palmer ross has such a good price these are $3.99 for that one and then this one i thought was really cute kind of maybe for halloween it was only $2.99 and then i always buy the three pack of these that have the squeakers and no stuffing for $5.99 that is such a good price and then i did get dog treats they didn't have anything i mean nothing but i did find these furry roux public nice clean ingredient dog treats these are chicken and cheddar i got these these are wax melts there's pumpkin pie pumpkin vanilla and pumpkin cocoa it was $5.99 for all of these which is a really good deal they smell amazing and then i picked up a pumpkin pie spice because it was only $2.99 and i think the jar is adorable and i go through a lot of pumpkin anything this time of year and then speaking of pumpkin i did get one candle this is pumpkin spice oh my gosh it smells amazing and this huge candle was only $8.99 and then the last thing is a frame this is for that old western photo that i did in phoenix with my friends when they were visiting i needed a frame for that so i like this glass frame so i'll show you what it looks like once i put the photo in it so i only spent i think it was $24 at raw so not bad i do feel a little bit better with a little bit of retail therapy it is 10 30 i have to beat a lunch in an hour and i'm a good half of an hour away i would like to make one more stop before lunch because i don't know that i'll have time after lunch before i have to go home and i still haven't been to the post office or ups next stop ups store and then lunch i am hungry quick detour quick change of plans i have about 25 minutes or so before lunch i'm gonna hit up the post office it's actually right on the other side of the freeway from the ups store so let's stop there really quick i've got a couple bills to mail and then a package for my challenge on my facebook group for the winner so let's do that super quick all right post office run this post office is usually really really busy so hopefully not because i don't have a ton of time but i've got quite a few things i need to drop off last stop lunch but it was fine so i ate part of my lunch i ate one of my fish tacos by the way they were absolutely delicious like apps absolutely delicious so i ate one of the fish tacos i ate about two or three bites of my beans and then i tasted the rice and i didn't love it the rice to me had a little bit of a buttery taste which i thought was weird for mexican rice i didn't love it so i'm going to go ahead and put the points calories macros guesstimation here on the screen what you have to remember is that macros and calories is not an exact science so i'm going to guesstimate what i ate as far as the fish taco goes and then maybe a quarter cup of refried beans i didn't have any chips and salsa and i just had water to drink so i'm on my way home so that troi can take little miss palmer clayton to the vet for that heartworm test come on come on can you tell everybody you went to the vet today so i went to the vet and i wouldn't go with her so daddy had to pick me up and hand me to her yes and then say i went to the car wash for the first time come on did you go to the car wash he can't be bothered by us because he has his ball did you go to car wash he's actually really good at the vet he just doesn't go with people he doesn't know kind of like little miss lola do you want to say hi lola say i'm doing so good yes i am say my mommy checks my lymph nodes every day and i'm doing really good are you pretty yeah are you are you pretty are you do you need a treat oh do you need a treat well come on yes go get a treat come on oh i know your plants are ridiculous all about the trees all about the treats okay pee dog oh there you go everyone so we don't have any power we had a pretty big storm well a big rainstorm so we lost power and we have no internet so i'm using this little handy dandy light thing to show you guys my clean simple eats order because this just came in and i'm going to actually have some of this as a snack my first time trying it so let me show you what i grabbed from clean simple eats so the first thing is the protein variety pack i buy this all the time it's a great way to try out their different protein powders you get a variety of different flavors 10 different ones in one pack and then i picked up two more boxes of their energy drink mix this is my favorites i love the coconut line and the kiwi the kiwi one is so good it's for endure endurance energy and performance i like to have these if i have kind of a midday slump and i also love to drink these pre and post workout i also got the hydrate variety pack this one has bcaa's electrolyte and is great for recovery so this is something i drink a lot post workout for that little bit of extra hydration and then i finally picked up their collagen i haven't even tried this other than the one that came in my variety box my founders box the founders favorites is great if you've never tried clean simple eats but i decided to go ahead and get the blue hawaii that sounds so good and then i also bought another variety pack of their little nut butters their off-beat butters i really like to take these with me when i travel and then i also bought three full jars of their nut butter you guys look at these flavors pumpkin spice you know my love for pumpkin we're actually going to try this as a taste test for a snack and then i also bought the monkey business and the gingerbread cookie so the pumpkin nut butter it says almond butter with pecan pieces and it is pumpkin spice so this nut better has the same calories and points as regular peanut butter where we know that american dream nut butter has less calories and points so this is two tablespoons for 180 calories four grams of protein so even a little bit less than traditional peanut butter like jiff or skippy peanut butter but i think i'm going to put one tablespoon on a caramel rice cake try it out like i said i've never tried this and one thing i will say too is there are pecan pieces in here so that would make sense why the calories are maybe a little bit more but that's a good healthy fat so let me throw this on a rice cake and we'll try out the new pumpkin spice nut butter from clean simple eats okay so look at how amazing this looks i was just looking at the back of this the ingredients are actually really really good in this nut butter and they said you can put it on pancakes and waffles and toast i will say that the pecans are definitely going to make this so let's test it this is incredibly good another big win from clean simple eats it's very pumpkin-y definitely has pumpkin pie spice flavor i love the pecans for texture and again just a healthy fat this is so good for dinner tonight i'm making sweet potato shepherds pie i'm so excited for this it has been raining like i said we lost power it is back on thank goodness but it's kind of a dreary afternoon so this recipe is going to be perfect so let me show you what you'll need so you're going to need chicken broth beef broth whatever you have tomato paste minced garlic salt and pepper oregano and smoked paprika frozen peas and onion meat of your choice so you could do 99 ground turkey and make this recipe less points i'm going to use ground beef because Troy requested that but i will put the points for the turkey on the screen for you at the end you can always substitute that again i'm just using the 96 ground beef and then i'm going to use the Trader Joe's mashed sweet potatoes because these are in my fridge you can also make your own sweet potato topping so i went ahead and started my sweet potatoes just in a pan with some water per package instructions you will want to precook your sweet potatoes as well while the rest is cooking and then in a big skillet here i added my diced up onion i'm going to allow this to saute down for a few minutes then you're going to add in your pound of ground beef and allow that to cook until brown so i'm going to add in a big scoop of minced garlic and allow it to become fragrant and then i'm going to add in about two tablespoons of tomato paste a cup of broth all of our seasoning so smoked paprika oregano and salt and pepper and then i'm going to let that cook down for a couple more minutes after the liquid has reduced a little bit we're adding in one cup of frozen peas and again just allow that to simmer for two to three more minutes continuing to reduce and get those peas nice and warmed through so now you're going to grab out a baking dish i have a six by nine you can use really any size and we're going to transfer the meat mixture to the bottom of the baking dish and then here's the sweet potatoes from Trader Joe's all it is is frozen sweet potatoes there's nothing added to it and we're just going to spread that out right over the top again if you made your own smashed sweet potatoes you'll just spread that out over the top of the meat mixture so i'm going to go ahead and get the shepherd's pie into our 375 degree oven for 20 to 30 minutes so i just took the dinner out of the oven this smells good it looks really really good i'm going to go ahead and plate this up and i'll be back to share points calories and macros so here is dinner so the batch makes thick serving so it is a pretty good size serving this looks really good with potatoes we have meat we have vegetables all the information is here on the screen for you for dessert i'm going to make my yogurt bowl i change it up all the time i should do a recipe on all my yogurt bowls let me know down in the comments if you guys would be interested but tonight i'm going to use a chobani zero sugar in vanilla a fresh peach and then i'm going to top it with some of the peach chia smash i love this it's so good actually all the chia smash is really good i do buy these off of amazon in the six pack of all the different flavors i'll link it for you if you're interested you can also typically find it at natural food stores like cold foods and sprouts i'm going to add some pumpkin seeds hemp seeds and some reduced sugar craisans this has got a ton of fiber so i love adding a little bit of that and then maybe a little bit of whipped cream i'm really excited for this this looks absolutely incredible so there's my yogurt bowl with my peach my hemp seeds pumpkin seeds craisans topped with a little bit of the birthday cake whipped cream i'm almost out and it's officially gone from sam's club so that's a little bit of a bummer and then that goodness right there
