Well, good morning, good afternoon, good evening, whenever you are watching today's video
0:09
Welcome to today's What I Eat in a Day. It is 4.44 a.m. and I am on my way to boot camp
0:15
I was actually thinking when I left the house this morning that you know how much I love my boot camp
0:21
but this time of year I literally dread going. And that's really bad because I do love my boot camp
0:26
I love the workout. I love my friends at boot camp. It's humid here right now because of monsoon season
0:33
The mosquitoes are out in full force. So the entire time we're working out, I'm just swatting mosquitoes
0:39
It's just miserable. This is just a miserable time of year to be working out outside
0:44
And we do our boot camp outside year round. So I'm sad
0:48
I'm sad that I dread going, but we shouldn't have a whole lot longer of the misery of the mosquitoes and the humidity
0:56
It is only 74, 74 degrees. morning it's been upwards of 80. So that's the other thing. It's hot. It's humid. There's bugs
1:05
Hopefully today isn't as bad. I do have in the door over here my bug spray and then I have my
1:13
sweat rag. So I am ready for this workout. I do need to run quickly to the post office this
1:20
morning to mail some stuff off to my friend Amy in New York. We have a busy day today. I have some
1:26
stuff that some new things that I've been loving that I want to share with you. We just we're going to
1:29

3:50
So let me show you what I'm going to put together So I'm going to cook one egg just kind of over easy. A couple of slices of turkey bacon. This is the Columbus brand from Costco. Nice clean ingredients, unkilled turkey bacon. Love that. And then these are my little lemon sour cream waffles that I made in my meal prep. I'm going to throw one of these in the toaster. And then I'm going to top it with some fresh blueberries and some of the blueberry chia smash. Just for that lemon blueberry vibe, it sounds super good. These are great if you just throw them in your toaster, air
4:22
if you want them crispy. Otherwise, you can just toss them into the microwave. So let me put together
4:27
breakfast and I'll show you what I'll show you exactly what I'm happy. My breakfast looks amazing
4:32
I'm so excited. So there is my lemon sour cream waffle with one tablespoon of the blueberry
4:38
chia smash. I actually buy these on Amazon. I'll link them for you. You can also get them on
4:43
nutrition, which I do have a discount code for them as well. I'll put it all down below
4:47
One egg and then two slices of turkey bacon. So packed with protein, healthy
4:52
carbs and healthy fat. Everybody's ready for a special bond? Yeah? Are you ready
5:03
I have these currently my smart bone made with sweet potato. Lola can have these ones because
5:15
they don't have a ton of protein. Oh, there you go, pumpkin. Can you go, my love? There you go
5:22
baby. Lola goes back to oncology tomorrow for chemo. She got a two week break. It is time for my second
5:30
coffee of the day. I actually just got home from the post office. I ran really quickly to mail that
5:34
package to my friend Amy in New York. Actually, I sent her some Clean Simple Eats protein because I wanted
5:40
her to try it out. And I also sent her as the greens powder so she could try it. So I'm going to make
5:44
myself a blended coffee using Clean Simple Eats. My drag up cold brew. I do have a discount for
5:50
drag up. My cold brew pitcher is a right off of Amazon. Actually, let me show you the drag up I've been using. It's been my favorite
5:56
so far. And that's this one here, drakeup white vanilla cream. This is just the perfect coffee
6:03
flavor with that little bit of that creaminess from the vanilla. This is hands down my favorite
6:08
dragoop flavor that I've tried so far. I order two bags. I'm so glad that I did because it's
6:12
absolutely delicious. And again, that is what is in my cold brew picture. I'm doing the Clean

9:12
So for lunch today, we're going to be trying out that strawberry lemonade salad kit that I
9:17
actually got at Sam's. club. I have not tried this yet. I keep forgetting to share it with you guys. I told you we would
9:23
try it together. I'm really excited about this. So this is the strawberry lemonade salad kit
9:28
with strawberry lemonade dressing. So it says chopped escarole, escarole, and dive carrots
9:36
red cabbage, radichio, feta cheese, and dried strawberries. You can have two cups of this
9:42
for only 60 calories, and that includes the dressing. That's amazing. So I'm going to do one serving
9:48
There's three servings total in the bag. And then I'm going to top it with chicken
9:53
So this is just chicken tenderloins that I cooked up, added some salt and pepper to them
9:59
I'm going to do four ounces of chicken on the salad just to give it a punch of protein
10:03
This is super low calorie, super high protein. I'm so excited to try this out with you
10:08
I've been saving it. Saving it for just the right moment. So let me put together my salad for lunch
10:13
So here is that strawberry lemonade salad. Doesn't this look amazing? Oh my gosh. The vinaigrette is so good. I tried a little bit of it. It's sweet and tangy all at once. So let's try this out together
10:25
All right. I'm going to try to get a bite of literally everything
10:33
Oh my gosh. That is so good. I love the dried strawberries. There's no added sugar in the dried strawberries. So there's zero points
10:42
They add like literally the perfect crunch. 10 out of 10. Highly recommend
10:48
just finished my lunch and I'm ready for a little bit of an afternoon pick me up. This is about the
10:53
time of day that I start getting a little tired. You know, I get up super early between three and four
10:57
a m. So I typically like to have a little bit of an afternoon boost. So in my hydro jug cup
11:03
I just mixed up my motivate burn. This is the strawberry kiwi. This is one of my very favorite
11:09
flavors of burn. It's so strawberry with that little bit of kiwi. I just mix it up in my cup with
11:15
my handheld froth. Actually motivate right now has their ultimate weight. loss bundle on sale. It is currently $99 and then you can use my discount code here on the screen
11:24
for an additional 20% off. So let me tell you what's in the weight loss bundle. First you have the
11:29
motivate burn. Motivate burn helps with metabolism boost, fat loss, weight loss, energy focus. That's why I like
11:36
to have it mid-afternoon because it gives me that little bit of energy, that little bit of added
11:40
boost and focus. It also comes in no stem. So if you're sensitive to caffeine, they do have
11:46
the caffeine-free that's still going to give you focus, energy, metabolism boost, fat loss
11:50
weight loss benefits. It's just not going to have the caffeine. Then they also have it in the
11:55
little packets, which I really like these for travel. I do have a trip coming up in September
12:00
I'm going to a conference, and I always take the little single-serve packets with me
12:04
And I have the flavored cherry lemonade, which is one of my favorites, along with kiwi strawberry
12:09
So you do get the burn flavor of your choice, whether it's regular or no stem. Then you also are going to
12:15
get detox. You can do regular detox or detox light. Regular detox, the black bottle is just a little
12:21
bit more intense than detox light. So it kind of depends on what you're looking for. But this is going
12:26
to help your body naturally detox, help you stay a little bit more regular. If you eat a high
12:31
protein diet, that can be a bit of an issue. And detox really helps. It just flushes everything out
12:36
of your body naturally. So you'll also get detox as part of the weight loss bundle. And lastly
12:42
game changing is sleep. You guys know this is what. short takes every single night It is amazing It helps you fall asleep stay asleep It a natural supplement to just regulate your sleep And we know how important sleep is for weight loss So it makes sense that this is part of the weight loss bundle So you
12:59
also get sleep. So again, here's your weight loss bundle. Burn of your choice, detox and sleep
13:04
It's currently on sale and you can use my code here on the screen for an additional 20% off
13:10
It really contains all of the products that I use on a very regular basis. I like the regular
13:15
burn. Regular burn and no stem burn. They're both delicious today. Today we've got the regular burn for again, that little bit of afternoon pick me up
13:23
I thought I'd share with you guys a quick little TJ Max and Ross Hall, basically for the new house
13:29
I mainly went for treats for Palmer and then I looked through the home decor and found..
13:33
Yeah, I know of that. Yeah. Troy says I'm too early, but I'm not
13:37
If you find stuff at TJ Max or Ross, you snag it, and that's exactly what I did
13:40
So at TJ Max, I grabbed a couple packs of these jump in sticks with real venison for Palmer
13:47
also the peanut butter smart sticks Lola really likes these she has to watch the protein content
13:52
and these are pretty low so I got those for her and then for Palmer too I got these bananas and
13:57
scream little dog treats so he's had these brand before nice clean ingredients I picked up a couple
14:03
of small jars for my pantry they just have these screw on lids we have a really good size pantry
14:08
in our new house and then if you guys remember the other little t. j max how I did I bought these jars
14:15
Well, there was only one left, so I grabbed it. Then I have a set of three
14:20
Also, I fell in love with these bowls. This one, it has a little pedestal
14:24
So you can use it as decor or I could even use it. I mean, really like a fruit or vegetable bowl
14:29
Made in India, this one was only $10. That's an incredible deal. And then I got the big matching one
14:34
There was even one bigger than this. I just didn't know what I would do with the huge one
14:39
I probably should have bought it. But I did buy the medium-sized one as well. And that one was only $14.99
14:44
So that is such a fantastic deal. And then I got this vase as well
14:49
I don't know if it'll go on top of my cabinet or just as a decor piece. Again, it was like $15
14:54
So really, really good home decor deals. We will probably do a shock with me
14:58
I definitely want to go to home goods and Hobby Lobby, but when we get closer to moving in to wrap up the decor
15:05
But that's what I picked up from T.J. Max. And then from Ross
15:08
Oh, wait, I got to show you guys, Palmer. I got Palmer this ball at the dollar tree
15:18
Look, it lights up. He loves it. Palmer let me see a ball
15:25
So he gets your ball. Yeah, it lights up. It's like an LED ball. That's so funny
15:29
All right, back to Ross. So these baskets were on clearance for $6.99
15:34
Oh my gosh. I could not pass them up. I bought them both. I bought the gray and kind of the white wash
15:38
We'll use these for storage. I was thinking either in the pantry
15:42
the laundry room, the closet. I'm really going to buy baskets for organizing when I see them
15:48
And then I also got a ton of dog treats. This brand, Furry Republic, love this brand
15:53
Really good clean ingredients. These are all for Palmer. So these are chicken apple and peanut butter, little sticks
15:59
And then I got the chicken one and the chicken and cheddar and another chicken and cheddar
16:05
And then these reward sausage bites with real peanuts. So all of these are for Palmer
16:10
Like I said, Lola has to watch the protein content in her treats. And then I got this little two pack of Halloween towels
16:16
These were so cute. They had ones that had dogs too. But I actually really loved these
16:21
So I grabbed them. And then I got this spoon rest. This was another steel
16:25
This is so beautiful. It is like a marble. It was $5
16:29
So it matches perfectly with my new backslash. And if you didn't guess, we're going with like neutral colors, tans, grays, whites, just modern farmhouse
16:39
So this is going to be perfect. I also picked up some more utensils just because they match
16:43
with the light wood we're also going with everything lighter wood and I'm just
16:48
gonna keep these for the new house and then this was really the bargain even the
16:52
girl who checked me out said oh my gosh those are such a good deal these are garbage cans and they are heavy like marble garbage cans and they were
17:00
1999 apiece so amazing deal I don't know if it'll go in the guest bathroom
17:05
master powder room my office but I bought them both they only had two if they had
17:09
more I would have bought them but you can't beat them for $20 a piece so we're
17:13
a few decor pieces picked up. Of course, I'll show you guys and take you guys with us when we
17:18
furniture shop and all of that in the home blog. But I'm going to put this all away and it'll be ready
17:23
for the new house. So I am ready for an afternoon snack. I'm actually getting pretty hungry
17:28
and I'm craving cottage cheese. Surprise to nobody. So I'm going to do the good culture
17:33
cottage cheese. Now a serving is half of a cup, but I'm going to do three quarters of a cup
17:38
And that's actually going to give me, it'll give me a lot more protein, be a lot more satisfied
17:43
And then I actually have some pineapple tidbits just in pineapple juice
17:48
These are left over from a meal prep recipe. So I'm going to put on about a half of a cup of the pineapple chunks on top of the cottage cheese
17:57
And then for a carb, a crunch, I'm really craving some cheese it
18:01
A serving is 27 crackers. So I'm actually going to do half of a serving with my cottage cheese and pineapple
18:07
It just sounds really good for like a crunchy, salty moment. So let me put together my afternoon snack and I'll show you what it looks like. like
18:19
So you know my love of the Clean Simple Eats, Clear Protein? Well, I love Clean Simple
18:23
Eats in general. I love, love their protein powder. It's actually what I used in my
18:27
blended coffee that I made this morning. Well, I wanted to let you know that their clear protein
18:31
is back in stock. This comes and goes extremely quickly. It is extremely, extremely popular
18:38
I like all of the flavors, but my top two are these, a dragon fruit and prickly pear
18:43
next to that would be the orange. And then really my least favorite is the blue razz
18:47
I'm just not much of a blue raspberry person, but they have all of the flavors of the clear protein in stock and the variety pack
18:54
So if you want to try all the flavors, you can pick up the variety pack. Now, I don't know how long they'll be in stock
18:59
Like I said, they come and go very, very quickly. I actually just got a case of the prickly pear and the dragon fruit
19:06
And, and, and, they just launched these, which I am so excited about
19:12
You guys know that I do not drink carbonation and all energy drinks are carbonated So I don drink energy drinks at all Well Clean Simple eats coming in clutch with their clear protein plus energy So it is the clear protein water with an energy boost So basically like a protein water energy drink had a baby It is not carbonated It is 90 calories with 20 grams of protein just like the clear protein So if you an energy drink lover this is really the way to go because you getting energy and protein It gives clear focus clean energy
19:47
90 calories, 20 grams of protein, just like the water, but it does have caffeine in there
19:52
So if you're sensitive to caffeine, get the protein water. If you, like I said, are an energy drink person or you like that little bit of a boost
19:59
get the clear protein with energy. Now, these are all in stock as well, and there's four new flavors
20:04
So we have Paradise Punch, Coastal Crush, SunKiss, Peach, and Mountain Rush
20:12
Every single one of these is so, so, so good. I am going to buy a case of all of them because I love a good energy drink
20:19
I just don't drink carbonation. And this is just a great way to not only get an energy drink, but get 20 grams of protein
20:26
Isn't that crazy? So we've got the clear protein with energy and the clear protein
20:31
Run, don't walk. Run don't walk because these are guaranteed to sell out again
20:35
I do have a discount code for Clean Simple Eats. I'll link it for you. Get these
20:39
Get these. Get these. It's such a great way to get in protein
20:43
For dinner tonight, I'm making summer pesto chicken. pasta salad. I'm making this a little bit early. I want it to go in the fridge and get nice and cold
20:52
for dinner. So let me show you what you'll need. This is a super simple recipe. So I have some
20:58
chicken breast. You can buy pre-cooked chicken, pre-sreaded chicken, whatever your preference
21:02
Pasta of your choice. I'm doing the Borilla Protein Plus just for the extra protein. Pesto
21:08
I shared in my grocery hall that this pesto has the least amount of calories and points
21:12
from Borilla. So I grabbed that. Parmesan cheese. Sweet. tomatoes and mozzarella cheese. So I'm going to bake my chicken breast. I'm just going to throw them in the
21:21
oven and then you're going to cook your pasta per package directions. I'm also going to chop up these
21:28
tomatoes and the mozzarella. So I drained, rinse my pasta, cooked my chicken, diced it up. I wanted it to
21:36
be as cool as possible. Like I said, I'm going to pop this in the fridge for a couple hours before we
21:41
eat dinner. I did dice up that whole pack of tomatoes. I also had a couple little tomatoes from
21:46
my tomato plant and the mozzarella cheese. So I'm going to add all of that. She is full. I probably
21:52
should have even used a bigger bowl, but I'm going to give this just a quick mix just to combine
21:57
those a little bit before we add the pesto and the parmesan. We're going to add about a half
22:02
of a cup of pesto to the salad and reserve a little bit just to drizzle on top. And again
22:10
I'm going to give that a quick mix. Smells so good. And a quarter cup of parmesan
22:16
which is literally all I have left. So that actually worked out good. And again, one more quick mix
22:22
I think I'm just going to add the rest of the posto rather than drizzling it on top. It's really all the
22:28
same. And I just want to make sure that these noodles are coated really well. One final stir
22:33
Pop the lid on this and I'm going to throw it in the fridge. All right. So here's what it looks like
22:38
before it's going into the fridge. I'm actually about to go hop on a coaching call and I'm getting
22:43
a little bit hungry. So I'm going to have just a quick snack. This is the Siggy's Protein Pack
22:48
in strawberry assayee. This is basically a yogurt pouch. I love these. I shared these with you guys
22:54
in a couple of weeks ago what I eat in a day. I've really been loving these. Again, it is
22:59
110 calories with 11 grams of protein. Nice clean ingredients. It's literally like a Siggy's yogurt
23:07
in a pouch. I got these at sprouts and I love them. I don't know if you can see that, but it's
23:12
literally like a yogurt consistency. Ooh, this flavor's good. I haven't had the strawberry assaye yet
23:22
This is really, really good. Just a really easy way to get yogurt on the go
23:30
Great for lunches, even in your kids lunch. It's kind of like a gogurt, but healthier and better ingredients
23:35
110 calories, 11 grams of protein. So here is my dinner. So this is one serving of the pasta salad
23:42
it makes a lot. So it's plenty for an entire family. It smells really good
23:48
I'll go ahead and put all the information here on the screen for you. It is the end of the night
23:53
I'm about to go wash my face, put my pajamas on. I think I have The Bachelorette to watch
23:58
So Lola and I are going to go chill and watch TV. And I'm going to have some dessert
24:02
and it's going to be my Wonder Square. Now I am literally obsessed with these
24:06
I just ordered two full boxes from Nutrition. When I shared these in my favorites video for July
24:11
I told you guys I wasn't sure where they came from. I couldn't remember. They are from nutrition
24:16
And like I said, I just ordered two full boxes. I love these so much
24:21
These are literally like a Reese's peanut butter cup. And they have 100 calories and eight grams of protein
24:28
They're absolutely incredible. The ingredients, the macros, everything about these is perfection
24:34
You keep them in the refrigerator. I just can't tell you enough how much I love them
24:38
They're so delicious. I've been eating these a lot as my dessert. because I figure I might as well have a Reese's peanut butter cup with only 100 calories and
24:46
