 Our weekend vlog I've never vlogged over the weekend other than camping but that's really a camping vlog so this is the first time that I'm actually going to take you with me throughout Saturday and Sunday kind of show you what I do we're just gonna hang out today so you saw my morning routine where I have my coffee snuggle with the dogs for a few minutes get ready to go and now I'm in the car on my way to Jazzercise I have the 8 a.m. class this morning but before Jazzercise we're gonna make a quick detour at the post office to mail my mortgage payment and we've got to go to the bank to deposit a couple of checks that I've had in my wallet for too long they need to get put in the bank and then we have Jazzercise so welcome to the weekend vlog so I'm going to take my pre-workout it's about a quarter to eight my classes at eight so you can see that I put in I guess like maybe 10 ounces of water in with that my adventure to fit pre-workout I love this stuff you guys it is a must-have I'll link it down below with 10% off for you guys but I just shake this up here in my blender bottle drink it up and then I just add fresh water to this bottle to take into the class alright it's time my friends got my mask on going to grab my weights my water and let's do this alright workout is done I am a sweaty nasty disgusting mess I do need to run to the grocery store really quick to grab some strawberries we're heading to some friends tonight I'll try to take you guys along with me and I'm gonna make homemade strawberry shortcake it is not low calorie low fat but I may show you the recipe anyways and I'm about to take my post workout so let me turn you guys around show you what I take and I officially have almost 6,000 steps so that was an incredible workout so this is what I take after my workout this is the Beyond Raw Precision BCAA's in the watermelon this stuff is amazing it tastes really really good so I just use one scoop two scoops is too sweet for me and I pop it in that same blender bottle there and then I just use the rest of the water in that big water container that's why I bring that because that water is my pre-workout post-workout and during my workout so my bottle is empty from my workout so I'm gonna pop a scoop of this and shake it up and head over to the store right so here's what I grabbed at the store so I picked up two more of my good culture cottage cheese because I'm obsessed and my dog's tummy's been bugging her the last couple days so you can give your dog a pumpkin or sweet potato and it helps with their stomach so I grabbed that and then I saw this on clearance this is the Oregon Clean Protein this is a pretty darn good protein shake with good ingredients was $1.99 and I thought that it would just be nice to have it with coffee for that extra bit of protein and then you can see down in there that I picked up some organic strawberries for the strawberry shortcake and then this is actually a new flavor of ciggies that I've never seen vanilla and cinnamon so I'm excited for that and then what shopping trip does not contain kombucha so this is the 25th anniversary one the sacred blue this one is really really delicious so that's what I picked up at the store so now I'm gonna go home and eat breakfast because it is almost 10 o'clock and I'm starving mommy's home right so here's my breakfast I actually have two servings or 220 grams of this good culture home milk cottage cheese that's a lot of cottage cheese it's like over half this container and then I topped it with about a half of a cup of fresh blueberries that way I get a little fruit some protein and then I'm having that kombucha that I picked up at the store so that is going to be breakfast I will probably have a snack as well as a somewhat early lunch it's just about 10 o'clock all right I am out of the shower I've got a little soak and wet here I'm gonna let this air dry for a little bit and then we are going to make strawberry shortcake I've got to cut up and prep my fruit for the week so yeah we're gonna just hang out together today I'm gonna show you the strawberry shortcake recipe even though it's not ww friendly I'll show you also how I'm tracking my dinner for tonight and how I'm kind of making sure I keep enough calories and things for tonight's dinner now today is my high point high calorie day so I shoot for between 2100 and like 2300 calories today and then I don't worry so much about going over my points it is just kind of the day that I use my weeklies or my high calories ready fresh fruit is ready for the week I just go ahead and slice my strawberries in half wash them really good rinse my blueberries off and put them in these containers these are those containers that I picked up at Costco they're not on Costco calm but check your local Costco I love them and there's one more there's a huge one that I usually store my greens in so fruit is done for the week right so here's the ingredients for the strawberry shortcake again not ww friendly this is our splurge day this is easy homemade strawberry shortcake I will link this recipe down below and put it on my website for you guys but of course you'll need some strawberries already rinsed those will go ahead and chop those up butter salt whole milk or butter milk flour sugar heavy whipping cream baking powder and vanilla so actually pretty easy we're just going to quickly go through the recipe I'm just going to walk you guys through it very very quickly but again it will be down on my website so the first thing I'm going to do is go ahead and slice up the strawberries just go ahead and throw them in a bowl once they are sliced up look at my beautiful strawberries so I think what I'm going to do because we are going to eat this with our friends at dinner is I'm just going to package it all up and take it with us so I'm just going to add some saran wrap here to the strawberries this is the recipe that I'm using for inspiration I'm actually going to have it only because there's only four of us and it's pretty high calories so I want to make sure that we don't overeat it on accident with so many servings I'm going to have the recipe get these wrapped up and then let's go ahead and make the biscuits almost forgot the sugar so I did an eighth of a cup of sugar and then about a half of a teaspoon of vanilla extract and the recipe wants you to put some heavy whipping cream in the strawberries I'm not going to do that I'm going to save the fat and calories of the heavy whipping cream for the actual ripped cream portion of the recipe so now let's pop it in the fridge so here's my biscuit dough I have just a really small quarter sheet pan I sprayed with some avocado spray and I'm just going to roll these into biscuit shapes we want them touching on the pan so I'm going to roll them out I don't really care how many I get the recipe have make six servings so maybe at least 12 so that we can have two biscuits per serving and 12 biscuits are here so I'm going to pop these in the oven 425 until they are cooked through it also says to go ahead and brush the tops with some heavy whipping cream or buttermilk and sprinkle them with sugar I don't think I'm going to do that I don't want to add any more sugar and I don't know if the milk makes much difference actually you know what I think what I will do is brush the top with an egg wash just an egg white wash and that may help brown them up a little bit now girl we're making some whipped cream so I have one cup of heavy whipping cream two tablespoons of granulated sugar and a little bit of vanilla I've been using the Trader Joe's this one's really good and I'm going to whisk this up whip it up make a whipped cream and then I'm just going to put some saran wrap on it and toss it in the fridge and I'll take this with us with the strawberries and the biscuits over to our friends homemade whipped cream for the win so this is going in the refrigerator I'll show you guys what the biscuits look like we'll cool those bag those up and dessert is done for tonight how easy these look so good I'm putting out a little bit of egg wash on them so they're nice and brown so I'm gonna let these cool completely I'll just break them apart throw them in a Ziploc bag and we'll take those with us tonight and right now I'm making lunch I know it looks like breakfast but it's lunch alright so lunch is served we're making it simple it's about 355 calories which I'll show you my lose it out next where I pre-tracked my dinner kind of talk about what I'm shooting for calorie wise today so what I have is I have two of the Trader Joe's cauliflower things these are really good I just pop them in my toaster and then they come out kind of crispy like toast topped it with one serving or one egg basically I use the rest of those liquid eggs and then the star of the show is two tablespoons for one point of this plant based queso that I hauled on Saturday's grocery haul this is amazing you guys it's so good so I basically have two tablespoons of that so it has some really good flavor I'm getting some cheese but it's only one smart point and then I'm having that sick use yogurt I picked up at the store today I'm excited to give that a try so I'll put points calories here on the screen for you guys but that is lunch alright so really quick you can see that with dinner tracked and everything I've eaten today I'm at 1739 now again my goal is 21 to 2300 do you see this negative 403 that is because I did Jazzercise so it's crediting me back 400 calories I don't eat my workout calories my caloric goal every day includes a deficit and we don't add back in our exercise so I completely ignore that and look at this number right here this food number alright so breakfast you saw that I had coffee the kombucha the cottage cheese and the blueberries lunch was the cauliflower thin with the queso eggs and the yogurt and then for dinner I tracked the strawberry shortcake so it's 309 calories I tracked one bun one burger one slice of garlic bread and of course a summer shandy beer and that puts me at the 1789 1739 I don't know what other side dishes she's going to have and I also will probably have a snack before we head on over so at this point I essentially have between 400 and 600 calories left for the day so of course I'll show you if I eat anything else but yeah that's kind of how I kind of pre-tracked dinner just so I knew what I had left for the day today is the finished look we did pretty natural with the exception of the lashes I have a neutral lip today next time you see me I'll be ready dressed hair done all the things and you'll see the put together look for today alright and I'm ready for the day I'm wearing this cute little tank but I love this tank top I think it's really cute with this kind of pattern here and then I just threw on some silver earrings so I'm ready nothing fancy we're literally going over to some friends I want to wear a tank top because it's probably going to be hot so there you have it I am ready to go so I'm gonna do a little editing hang out around the house a little bit and then when I go either have a snack this afternoon or pack up to go I'll show you I'll show you that so I didn't have one of these bars for a snack I have not even shown these on my channel yet I actually just got them wanted to try them before I let you guys know how they are these are from coffee over cardio so the same place I get my coffee and this cute ma or cute tumbler so this is their version of a protein bar it's called the coffee break it says 8 grams of pure isolate protein there's actually 10 grams total in the bar this is the vanilla honey this one is so good it has a little bit of salt so it's kind of that salty sweet there's also a peanut butter which I also ordered I like this one way better if you're going to get one of the bars I highly recommend this one so these are five smart points apiece they're actually 140 calories and again 10 grams of protein and this is what the bar looks like so it kind of reminds me of the old OG power bars you guys remember those it's really good so this is the size of it compared to my hand so I mean it's it's fairly small I would say maybe three inches long by maybe an inch and a half wide but it's really really good I really again like this vanilla and honey I'll link my discount for coffee over cardio below for you guys I like them there five smart points apiece I remember them being a little bit pricey but with the discount that I have it may be worthwhile but just at least check them out so I'm gonna have this this afternoon for a snack for 140 calories five points and 10 grams of protein while I was sitting here editing I had some of the Trader Joe's patio chips they're now gone I don't think I'm gonna buy them again because I always want them there so good so I had one and a half servings of the patio potato chips it is for smart points per serving so six points worth and about a hunt 210 calories or so so I tracked it we're good I'm still doing really good on calories with dinner track so I will see you guys when we head out the door so I'm about to pack up our food to take over but I wanted to show you guys a couple of fun things that I grabbed I'll link these down below for you guys if I can score you a discount code I will do that as well but I grabbed the assist this is from the brand Adderac Otterac these are barbecue roasting forks so it is a set of these these are telescopic so you can go ahead and pull these out and they expand so that if you want to cook a hot dog over a hot fire they'll expand out so that you're far enough away and it comes with this cute little bag and I'm gonna use these for hot dogs marshmallows for s'mores and there's quite a big set so if you have a family there's enough for the whole family and again those are them and then also I've never had a meat thermometer so I'm excited to finally have one this is that same brand Adderac and this is the professional food and meat thermometer so this is what it looks like that way we can test our burgers and you can test steaks chicken and the actual meat thermometer part comes out and then look at that check it out a bottle opener so I'm really excited about this and these roasting forks the ones that we have are so short your hand gets really hot really quick so I'm excited about these I love that they telescopic that they're telescopic and they have a cute little bag and the meat thermometer so I'll link these below here's what I'm bringing to the barbecue so there are my biscuits that I made strawberries homemade whipped cream so that's the dessert this is the beer that I really like it is only 135 calories this is my favorite this is the last one that I have I literally you guys have one and that's it so I'm bringing that and then I've got a variety of burgers here so these burgers are amazing these are the grass-fed grass finish from butcher box I do have a link down below to get $30 off your first butcher box if you're interested I will not probably have one of these only because they're 400 calories per burger but they're really really delicious and then I also have these good and gather from Target these are 8515 I will have one of these because these are only 240 calories now they're a much smaller burger they're not grass fed and grass finished but it's perfect for me and it's much better than 400 calories even though these are amazing and then I also have hamburger buns from Walmart these are the lowest point buns in my area they're only 100 calories and three smart points so she said she'll have condiments cheese all the things so this is what I'm bringing besides my marshmallow roasting sticks and meat thermometer I almost forgot the garlic bread we're taking this over to so this is certified organic essential baking taken baked garlic bread this bread is so freaking good this is from imperfect food so again there's a link down below for that for $10 off your first box it's a 160 calories per slice it's amazing you guys it's so good so I'm gonna bring that over to so I'm packed up and ready to go what you got let's see that thing the airplane that's an airplane happy Sunday as you saw we had coffee the dogs had a treat I just took my greens I've got water this is actually the third water today I've been drinking a ton of water doing a few things getting ready to have breakfast and to start my meal prep so today you are going to see a natural because I don't get ready or put makeup on on Sunday I spend most of the day doing my meal prep and kind of getting ready for the week so I'll be meal prepping today editing videos I'll show you everything that I eat today I'm actually not going anywhere so yeah we don't have a whole lot going on today but I'll take you guys along with me and I'm going to share tonight's dinner recipe with you I'm so excited you guys it sounds so delicious so you're even going to get another recipe in this weekend vlog so let's jump into our Sunday so for breakfast today I'm trying a tiktok hack now I don't even have tiktok but our friends were telling us about this last night and apparently this is really really good so basically for this you need a tortilla I use the la tortilla low carb ones because they have really good ingredients you'll also need an egg or two and then whatever toppings you want so we're making kind of like a breakfast quesadilla but you make it all in one pan I'll show you guys but I'm going to actually add some of this good foods queso you guys this is incredible I love this so report back this in my opinion is better than siate I know who am I I love siate but this is delicious so I'm going to use that as some flavors I'm filling so let's try out this tiktok hack so step one is warm-up pan with some non-stick cooking spray and then I took two eggs just kind of scrambled them up with a little of the traitor Joe's everything but the bagel I'm not sorry not everything but the bagel the onion salt duh what I always use in my eggs and then you want to kind of get this coated on the bottom of your skillet and then we're going to take the tortilla and we're going to just put it right over the egg I know that seems weird and we're gonna let this cook for just a few minutes and then we'll flip it and the egg should stick to the tortilla and basically make it like you put scrambled eggs in your tortilla but all in one flat piece easy peasy so we'll see if this works once we flip it then we'll add the queso or whatever toppings you want to put in the quesadilla so I'm gonna let this cook for a little bit I'm gonna watch the edges here to make sure my egg is cooked all the way before flipping okay so here is the tester so it looks like it's done to me you know what I might not even need hang on I know this is weird I don't know okay it is stuck to it okay oh my gosh you guys I can't believe I'm doing this live without testing this okay so I'm gonna flip look at that let's fold that right back over oh my gosh how fun so now I'm gonna put two tablespoons of the queso okay so queso is on and then I believe all you do is fold it right in half and then you're gonna let it sear and kind of get that crispy of a quesadilla all right so here it is it turned out so good and I love that the egg fits the entire tortilla so you get a little egg in every bite plus it makes it easy rather than trying to put scrambled eggs into a tortilla so yeah this looks amazing the queso is so good you guys highly recommend and then I have about a half of a cup of blueberries so this is breakfast are you comfy yeah I bet you've dug out all the blankets yeah you're so tired yeah little missy little little turd all right you know what time it is it is kombucha time it is about 9 a.m. I ate breakfast about seven so I'm going to have this I have some cottage cheese on my radar if I get hungry before lunch but I'm in the midst of meal prepping and that keeps me pretty occupied so I'm going to enjoy the gingerberry kombucha while I continue to meal prep so it's about 10 20 I'm gonna have a snack I'm a little hungry and I'm still working on meal prep so I don't want to stop and eat lunch probably till about noon so what I have is 185 grams so a little less than two servings of the good culture whole milk cottage cheese I believe it's six points but I will put points and calories here on the screen my favorite cottage cheese ever so this is going to be my morning snack it's almost lunch time are you gonna get up no okay how about you little lady it's almost lunch time are you gonna get up no not interested huh it is noon I'm going to make some lunch so I'm gonna make a spin-on avocado toast using the sweet-to-toast these are from Collie power the same company that makes those really good chicken strips that I love for my salads I got these a few weeks ago and I love these these are delicious so these are the sea salt and olive oil roasted sweet potato slices I'm gonna top them with one serving of the Applegate natural smoked turkey breast and about 60 grams of avocado so this is what those toasts look like so they're literally perfect for avocado toast and this is my little mini air fryer this is the copper chef air fryer this is perfect for two people and I love it it's so cute it's about $50 I'll link it down below for you guys so I'm gonna go ahead and cook up the toasts I'll measure out the meat and the avocado I think I'm also going to have some strawberries and some yogurt all right it's lunch time I'm outside so the light may not be the best but it's a beautiful day so I decided to go ahead head outside to eat my lunch so I'm having one of the Siggies 4% vanilla yogurt this is kind of my dessert I have about a cup of fresh strawberries I made pop a couple on my yogurt and then this is my delicious lunch so I have three of those sweet potatoes with one serving or two ounces of the Applegate turkey 60 grams of avocado smashed up with some everything but the bagel seasoning and then I'm having one of the Trader Joe's seltzer water blood orange and orange juice oh my goodness are these delicious so I am doing that and this is my lunch points and calories are here on the screen when I'm done eating let's have a little chat hey guys so I'm out on my patio I just finished my lunch it was so good super filling delicious I love those sweet potato toast I know I can make my own but it's the convenience it's so nice to just pop that in the air fryer so seriously delicious and this sparkling water hits the spot it was a really good lunch but I thought that I take a moment I wanted to talk with you guys I actually was just watching Justin's journey on YouTube if you don't know who she is check her out she is really down to earth and honest and transparent and really really sweet so check out her channel but she just did a Q&A it's funny because I uploaded my Q&A today and then I saw her Q&A so I've been kind of watching it as I'm preparing and eating my lunch and it got me thinking that you guys really like the Q&A's especially with a get ready with me and her Q&A was more about kind of a juicy Q&A so I'm inspired by her to do that same type of video so I wanted to chat with you guys and have you leave down in the comments any kind of juicy questions you have now this can be personal questions career YouTube really anything you want to ask me that maybe you haven't asked before but you want me to answer as long as it is clean it's PG 13 not rated R because it has to go up on YouTube and I'll also post this over on my Instagram but I thought it would be kind of fun to follow in Justin's footsteps and do kind of a juicy Q&A again ask the questions that maybe you weren't comfortable asking before and I'll answer them I may do another get ready with me if you would rather I just sit down and answer the questions let me know that if you would rather me do a Q&A get ready with me where I put on my makeup let me know that as well so I want to make sure that I'm giving you guys what you want but I thought that that would be really fun because I do get a lot of questions privately that I feel that a lot of you want to know the answer to so thank you Justin for the inspiration and if you made it this far in the video definitely leave a question down below for me because we are approaching the end of another long video but this weekend blog has been so much fun and I'm excited for this juicy Q&A so here's what I'm having for an afternoon snack I'm not super hungry just a little bit and I want to be able to make it until dinner it's about 2 o'clock so this is the organ clean protein shake I actually got this at the store that you guys saw yesterday this is really good I like it by itself I like it in coffee it's actually one of my very favorites and it has a fantastic ingredients and 20 grams of protein so I'll put calories and points here on the screen for you but this is today's afternoon snack for tonight's dinner I'm making Tuscan chicken skillet I'm so excited that I'm able to give you a WW friendly recipe and a fun dessert in our weekend blog so let me show you what's in tonight's dinner first you'll need some salt and pepper Parmesan cheese spinach you could use fresh or frozen pasta I'm going to be using the fiber gourmet pasta this is my very favorite you guys know that this is a staple in our house funny story I told my husband I was making pasta for dinner first thing he asked is are you using fiber gourmet that is how much this household loves this pasta this pasta is a hundred calories for two ounces dry compared to 210 calories so this is two smart points for two ounces versus five or six smart points for two ounces so game changer on WW you can have real delicious pasta for only two points there's 25 grams of fiber versus two grams only 17 net carbs versus 41 and the traditional 7 grams of protein per serving this pasta you guys is amazing you have to get your hands on this you can pick this up off of netrition I will link netrition down below for you so definitely pick yourself up some fiber gourmet you're also going to need minced garlic whole milk chicken breast I have about a pound here a couple two three tomatoes some fresh basil and some bacon so let's make some pasta so some water coming to a boil here so that we can cook the pasta and then in a large skillet I have four slices of bacon we're going to get that cooked completely down till it's nice and crispy remove it from the pan pop it onto a paper plate so that we can start continuing on with the Tuscan skillet my bacon is removed I just added the chicken to the skillet I'm in a season it with some salt and pepper our pasta is cooking away looking good to the hot skillet after removing the chicken I went ahead and added a big spoonful of garlic I'm just going to let that cook in kind of the brown bits of the chicken until it becomes fragrant and then we're going to go ahead and pop in the tomatoes excuse my dog's barking at who knows what outside but I'm going to go ahead and pop in the two chopped up and then I have three quarters of love being a dog mom and we're going to go ahead and just let that simmer until it starts to thicken once your sauce starts to simmer we're going to go ahead and I'm going to use the whole bag of baby spinach because as you know spinach wilts down to nothing and the recipe calls for five ounces and this bag is six so I'm going to add the whole bag and let it wilt down from this to this isn't that crazy it just wilts down to pretty much nothing so we're going to go ahead and add back in our ingredients to finish off our skillet so first we're going to go ahead and add back in the crumbled up bacon we're also going to add back in the chicken so I'm going to actually give this think a quick mix I want to make sure that bacon kind of gets mixed up really well with the rest of it this looks so good you guys and you know what before I add in the chicken surreal life I'm going to go ahead and add in my three quarters of a cup of parm and I'm also going to add in my eight ounces of cooked fiber gourmet noodles give that a stir then we'll add in the chicken I want to make sure that the pasta gets coated in the sauce and that that parmesan cheese kind of has a chance to melt too I added a little more salt and pepper stirred that in topped it with the four pieces of chicken and doesn't this look amazing so this entire pan makes only four servings we're going to top it with some fresh basil so I'll be back to show you dinner give you points and calories so here is tonight's dinner so this is one fourth of the Tuscan chicken skillet look at how good that looks topped it with some fresh basil so it is seven points on both the blue and purple plan and five points on purple if you use a zero point pasta and nine points on the green plan because you have to count for the chicken and we remember we did use whole milk and cheese bacon so good 381 calories total so here's my dessert for tonight I'm gonna have a vanilla clio bar I've been looking forward to this all day so this is going to round out my food for the day so I'll put here on the screen the points for this and my total points and calories for the day thank you so much for hanging out with me on my first ever
