hey guys good morning it’s Annie welcome
back if you are new welcome it is a
Monday it’s a nasty Monday here we’ve
got a lot of rain going on in our area
but it’s supposed to be moving out by
tomorrow um kind of nice for um a
relaxing Monday because we had such a
busy weekend um so Saturday I went to my
niece’s recital went out to eat um with
my um family and then yesterday of
course being Mother’s Day we went out to
eat we went to the movies so I kind of
didn’t track any thing which is okay
because every now and then you know it’s
life um so having said all that um I’m
going to film a video today uh what I
eat in a day as low calorie and zero or
low Point as I can get because um when I
do things like this on the weekend I
don’t want to regret it so I just kind
of take a couple of days and lower my
calories and points as low as I can get
it but still enjoy my food and that way
I feel like I’ve kind of evened out the
score there is no regret in what I did
so I’m not trying to say that to anybody
because you have to live life and you
have to enjoy it so we did have a fun
weekend but because of that I’m going to
take a couple of days and I guess I’ve
called it calorie cycling Point cycling
what whatever you want to call it but I
take a few days after I have weekends
like this or a
vacation and I just eat a little bit
less calorie and and lower Point food
foods but I still try to enjoy my food
so I keep going forward um so that’s
what I’m going to do today I’m going to
eat as low calorie and low Point as I
can and share it with you guys and um
and I also wanted to say this I know I’m
putting a lot of fun uh recipes and um
eating things up for you guys my goal
through my week and the 7day week is to
eat 80% as healthy as possible but I
have to have some fun Foods or I’m just
going to binge eat that’s just my
personality
so that’s why I’m showing you guys some
different things because um those things
are what keep that’s what keeps me going
and I want to share it with you guys but
I’m also encouraging you to eat healthy
eat your fruits and vegetables make sure
you’re getting everything you need
protein and that kind of thing and uh
coordinate your weekly schedule
according to like this day I’m going to
have a few more fun foods but I’m going
to eat good these four days you know
what I’m saying so that’s kind of my
goal in this video
is to show you guys how I alternate my
healthy versus my fun Foods so I can
keep variety going and just you know
happy through this journey and I’m
telling you in this journey I have been
so excited because I don’t feel like
I’ve been deprived I’m treating myself I
am eating good things but I’m also
losing weight so anyway I’m long winded
sorry I’m just trying to inspire you
guys and give you hope because I have
never I I didn’t have that growing up I
just I thought thought you had to eat
you know C uh um cucumbers which I love
cucumbers now cucumbers and broccoli to
lose weight and celery you can have
those things but you can have so much
more so anyway I’m just trying to
inspire you and show you different ways
to make it through this journey um in
about a week and a half I’m going on
vacation and again I’m going to have to
watch what I eat but I’m still going to
enjoy my journey on this so um it’s a
slow process but it is a lifestyle and
don’t forget that guys enjoy your way
through this journey so I’m without any
more long talk I’m going to finish up my
coffee which is just my coffeine half
and half and then I’ll be doing
breakfast here shortly and show you how
I’m going to just have a low calorie low
Point day okay guys so one of my go-tos
when I need something low calorie for
breakfast is just a classic omelette um
actually when I was on my last cruise
that I actually filmed how I on vacation
uh my go-to on the ship was omelets
because I could you know count the
calories and points easy in my head so
anyway a classic omelette is what I go
to for a fast easy low calorie low Point
breakfast all I’m going to use are two
eggs and then I keep these um Peppers
that I buy um in a bag at Walmart or
Kroger wherever it’s already um bell
pepper and onions chopped up um so I’m
going to stir fry these just a little
bit in my olive oil and I’m going to put
my two eggs in and then I think I’m just
going to
add um just a tablespoon or two of my
fat free cheese and a little bit of
salsa on top and that will be my
breakfast that I’m going to have this
morning so uh let me get this put
together for you guys and show you how I
put all this together and it makes a
really good omelette now let me say this
when I say omelette sometimes I have
full and good intentions of starting as
an omelette and it ends up as scrambled
eggs so you know what I’m saying so I’m
going to give this a try as an omelette
but if it gets to sticking it might be
scrambled egg uh a bowl how about that
so anyway let’s see what we get okay
guys I’ve got my onions and peppers I’m
kind of sautéing those in the background
here with just some uh olive oil spray
and then I’ve got my egg here ready to
try to hopefully make this an omelette I
will tell you this I was so jealous of
The Omelette chefs on the cruise ship
they have it mastered they it they’re so
it’s amazing actually watching them do
the omelets they know what they’re doing
I can tell you that uh but anyway um you
know make this how you want to make it
um I usually add spinach if I have it or
I’ve done broccoli sometimes any kind of
vegetable that you love mushrooms
anything throw it in there and make the
best of your omelette as veggie style as
you can get it you can even add the uh
turkey bacon or regular bacon or any
kind of meat too that you want but this
morning I chose not to add any Meats I’m
just going to use the protein from the
eggs uh but anyway let’s get these
cooked and show you how fast and easy
this is so I’m going to add my peppers
on one side of the
Omelette just kind of move those
around and then I’m going to top it with
like I said about a tablespoon or so of
the um sapre
cheddar I don’t like too much cheese on
mine yep that’s all I want okay and then
I’ll let it kind of cook really good and
then when the edges start you can see
like right here I can kind of pull it
over and hey look guys I did it there
you go so I’m going to let this kind of
cook together and then this will be done
and we’re going to get this plated and
there you have it there’s my omelette it
came out good I’m so excited all right
so I think I’m going to not have Sala
with this this morning I forgot we’re
headed to the dentist so I hate to throw
all that garlic breath in their face
uh but like I said you can see it looks
so good with the vegetables and a little
bit of cheese very low calorie very low
point and you got your protein and all
your good uh you know vitamins from your
vegetables and all that good stuff so
this is what I’m going to have for
breakfast and I will see you guys soon
okay guys so I’m going to have my midm
morning snack and I’m going to just tell
you that omelette was delicious so I
highly encourage you guys to come up
with your favorite
combo toppings I guess you’d say for
your omelets like I wish I’d had
mushrooms and spinach and oh it would
have been so good but anyway I’m fixing
to make a morning smoothie and um the
only thing I think this is going to be
low point it’s not going to be zero
point but it’s very low calorie very low
point is my morning smoothie I usually
have is all it is is
blueberries and usually I do about a
half a cup of this almond um unsweetened
almond milk and then um two tablespoons
of your PB fit so um this will be again
protein
you get your antioxidants from your
blueberries and a very healthy low
calorie uh snack so let me show you how
I mix this and we will get this going
okay so I have half a cup of my
blueberries and this is just blueberries
make sure when you get the package that
it has no other ingredients and then I’m
going to do half I’m going to start with
half a cup of my almond
milk
and one
tablespoon or two
two tablespoons sorry of my PB
fit okay and there you have it um I’m
going to take this with me to go it has
a convertible top and we’re fixing a run
errand so that will be my morning snack
and I will see you guys at lunch hey
guys we are back from our errands and um
I’m going to make a salad for lunch
today again trying to keep this
extremely low calorie and as low Point
as we can get but still tastes good so I
picked up a rotisserie chicken a while
ago at the store so I’m going to use my
bag lettuce and then I’m going to throw
some spinach in there for some nutrition
value and one tomato and some of this
chicken and my cheese and I’m trying to
decide on my dressing which one I want
uh but either way it’s going to be
really good and low calorie and I think
I’m going to add some
um not sure if I have croutons well
probably won’t add the crout okay so I’m
going to throw this together and don’t
forget when you’re using the chicken at
zero point on Weight Watchers if you’re
using chicken breast up to 2 oz so all
right let me get this assembled and we
will put this together okay guys I have
my lettuce here in the bowl and I’m
going to add some spinach in that I
chopped up to give this some nutritional
value and then I cut up half of that
roma tomato and I’m just going to add
that and then I’ll weigh out 2 oz of my
um the chicken breast part of the
rotisserie and I actually weighed out
the cheese if you go in under um 14 gam
it’s zero points on Weight Watchers and
extremely low calorie so that worked out
really good and I think I’ve decided I’m
going to use my ranch dressing my um
yogurt ranch dressing and let me make
let me just go ahead and put this in a
tablespoon I’m going to see if I want
one or two
um see I use sometimes I just use about
one I think one’s going to be enough
okay one tablespoon of the ranch
dressing and that’s it and there’s your
salad for your lunch and if you want to
add some fruit or something to keep it
low calorie um that’s all you’re going
to
need guys I’m a still a little hungry so
I’m going to have some Halo top ice
cream and um if I decide I’m going to
have another snack today it’s probably
going to be some
cucumbers um and I might do a little um
red wine vinegar on that or something
kind of keep it simple um as far as
snacks go uh but that’s what I’m going
to have right now and um probably about
let’s see what am I going to have I may
do the half of this which would
be 1 360 I’ll have to add up the
calories but anyway that’s what I’m
going to have for my snack and then I
will be doing a supper later on so just
wanted to update you and we’ll see you
in just a minute okay guys so I am
fixing to make my supper and like I said
we’re trying to keep this low calorie
and low point for the day so I’m going
to do um some air fryer
salmon and um I’ve got some squash I’m
going to stir fry and then I’ve got my
green beans in um the crock poot and we
have a random fly in the house it’s that
time of year here um but anyway so I
just wanted to let you know what I’m
fixing to start I’m going to say this
too so I know that about a month or so
maybe it’s been two months ago I started
off this journey with calorie counting
then I added in Weight Watchers because
I have done Weight Watchers and I know a
lot of people love Weight Watchers and I
really wanted to try and add points to
help people who are on Weight Watchers
but I think I’m going to swap it back
over to calorie counting for a little
while again because I feel like I am
more focused on calorie counting right
now and protein intake than I am
anything else um I have no problems with
Weight Watchers I know it works but for
me right now personally on the Journey
part on this part of the journey I feel
I’m doing better with calorie counting
um I feel like it’s a little more
lenient than Weight Watchers right now
for me now that’s having said that I may
decide in a couple of months that I need
to tighten things back up again cuz to
me Weight Watchers a little more on the
the strict side uh for instance one
night I was making something and the
sauce that I was going to put like a
table maybe two tablespoons was like 50
calories well it ended up being five
points on Weight Watchers so there’s
that you know there’s the difference in
the it’s a little bit tougher so I think
I’m going to on my next video just focus
more on the calories of everything and
try to make it I feel like if I focus on
one thing that I can be just that extra
better for you guys and maybe um give
you 150% more than the 100% that I’m
trying to give you right now not that
I’m not trying I just I just want to
make I want to make it right and best um
so and like I said I may go back to
Weight Watchers but right now I think
I’m going to do calorie deficit is my um
it’s working for me that’s what I am
following the best and I want to focus
on that
150% and I think I might even tally up
the day according to how I’ve eaten so
you guys will have an actual total um
for the day because I haven’t been doing
that because I know everybody is
different and you’re eating different
calories for your uh weight at the time
but I’ll also say that it it gets a
little frustrating trying to add up the
the points and the calories um sometimes
because I’m having a hard time figuring
like uh for instance some of the recipes
I’m using on Pinterest they’re the older
weight was Watcher vers verion so I got
to go into the recipe Builder which is
not a problem but it can take more time
and I feel like sometimes I’m just not
giving it my 100% on one good thing so
anyway having said that I think on my
next video I’m just going to focus on
calorie deficit and really watching what
protein I eat because I know with me
trying to do strength training I’m
almost 50 I don’t know if I’ve said that
before and I know women our age have to
build muscle and keep muscle keep muscle
but keep it strong so I’m start starting
to do my strength training and um one
thing my personal trainer also told me
is that as long as I’m in a certain
calorie deficit you will have no problem
losing weight so both programs work I am
not dishing one over the other I’m just
going to focus on the calories from now
on for a while and like I said if I
decide to go back to um Counting points
I might throw that back in here but
nonetheless I love each and every one of
you and I hope you will stick um with me
on this and stay and get good ideas even
if I don’t put the points up there for
the recipes it if you have the Weight
Watchers app you can plug all your
ingredients in and still get your point
count um but uh anyway I really hope
nobody leaves me because I love y’all
and I appreciate y’all on this journey
and it is so inspiring to get up every
day and see so many people subscribing
to my channel thinking that I’m helping
somebody else means the world to me so
and it’s so fun to have people along
commenting along the way so wanted to
throw that in there but let’s get
tonight finished up and then on my next
video I look forward to really bringing
you the calorie count and trying to come
up with different ways to incorporate
different fun foods and see just see
just where this takes us oh and also
eating out I’ve had it it’s been easier
for me eating out on the calories versus
the points because almost I’d say 99% of
the places I’ve eaten I can go look up
their nutrition value and get the
calorie count so okay guys so let’s get
this supper going guys so I’ve got my
salmon in the air fryer I have seasoned
it with my let me find my smoke rub here
that I like it’s sweet and Smoky and
then over here sorry we’re going to spin
I’ve got my um squash I’m going to stir
fry this with just my um olive oil spray
that I use and then I’ve got green beans
in the crock
pot okay guys there is my supper it
smells so good I’ve got my salmon with
green beans and squash and um I’m fixing
to go eat this I will put the calorie in
the points up for this and I will um see
you guys after
supper okay guys that’s a wrap I’m going
to finish my show and head to bed soon
um my supper was so good and so filling
um again pick the vegetables you know
you’re going to eat green beans and
squash are two of my favorites so and I
love salmon and um any kind of seasoning
just trying different ones is always so
good on uh different kinds of fishes and
chickens and stuff so be creative with
your cooking and like I said I’m looking
forward to getting really strong this
week into finding new things focusing on
the calories and stuff and um just
pushing through guys we we’ve got this
and uh let’s keep pushing forward thank
you so much for being here and I’ll see
you in my next video
