hey you guys welcome back to my channel
I am gonna show you in today's video how
I lost 40 pounds in two months
now I want to do a disclaimer I did have
a baby and I am breastfeeding which
helps a lot but I'm going to show you
great tips and tricks that you can use
even if you didn't have a baby to help
you get off those extra pounds before
summer so if you want to see what I did
in my daily routine keep on watching the
video okay so if you throw me on
Instagram you know I absolutely love
this protein shake
so I usually work out in the mornings I
like it just because it jump-starts my
day I feel like that I get a good start
to the whole day I'm not gonna eat
crappy if I start out right in the
morning so anyways what I like to do if
I have an early morning workout like 5
a.m. this will be my breakfast so what I
like to do is I add some water and
unsweetened almond milk just a little
bit I kind of measure out a tablespoon
of Adams peanut butter the next thing
I'd love to do is take
and freeze them and put them in the
freezer so I go about one whole banana
and put it in now if I'm using this as a
meal replacement I love to add a little
bit of old Mel so Oh bill is amazing for
fiber you get your healthy carbs in and
if you're breastfeeding this is amazing
for your milk supply so I just go ahead
and scoop about 1/3 of cup in and then I
love chocolate weight protein so I do
one scoop of that now if you're not a
fan of chocolate if you're more of a
fruit lover and you don't love peanut
butter the other protein shakes that I
absolutely love to do is I like to do
water unsweetened almond milk and then I
add a little bit of frozen mangoes -
Annah
pineapple the next thing I'd like to do
to kind of sneak in my veggies is I take
my spinach and I blend it with water in
my Vitamix and then I port into ice
cubes and that way it's a little bit
less gritty and I throw about three or
four cubes and my protein shake to get
that my veggies in so if you don't love
spinach just do one cube and then work
up to 2/3 for however many you want so
I'm going to go ahead and blend this and
have this for my breakfast this morning
okay you guys so I'm going to show you
some of my favorite snacks that I like
and some snacks I like to take on the go
so this is a cutest little container
it's been a lifesaver for getting
vegetables in you can buy this off at
Amazon and I'll link it down below so
basically what I do once a week as I
talk with my vegetables and they go in
these little cute containers right here
so I have some cucumbers some carrots
some broccoli some bell peppers anyway
so I chop them up and they're right
I don't sit here and wonder what am I
giving it up or getting heat I may sound
weird but I absolutely love things that
are unique and different and it makes me
want to try them so I love anything
that's bright and colorful like beet
hummus or like rainbow organic carrots
one of my favorite snacks too is a
protein bar and an apple simple as that
this is my go-to snack in between
breakfast and lunch or lunch and dinner
on the go throw it in the diaper bag
easy 1/2 I love the things then
Barbara's there zero grams of sugar they
taste so good but get your favorite
protein bar and a fruit and just throw
in your back the next thing that I love
is I try to get about 90 ounces of water
in a day if you can't drink that much
totally fine get a mug or something that
has the hours on it there's a ton on
Amazon ton online that you can see what
you're drinking throughout the day and
what you need to hit I love true lemon
so this brand doesn't have any aspartame
in in it which Crystal Light does and I
love purse away but this does it and so
my favorite flavor is peach lemonade and
watermelon so what I'll do with that
sometimes to mix it up if I go ahead and
grab matcha tea powder and I throw some
in there if you haven't heard about
matcha tea powder it's so good for you
my brother has a tea company and I'll
link them down below and they sell
amazing tea that is all organic so go
ahead and check them out I love getting
my tea from them too last thing I'm
gonna show you is a snack that I do that
I love I'm so passionate about this you
guys this is a brand called Creole brew
absolutely love them so it's a coffee
alternative doesn't taste like coffee
it's not coffee
but you brew it like coffee you can have
a French press I put about half a cup in
it and let it brew with boiling water it
curbs your appetite it has antioxidant
in it it's just really good for you so
what I like to do is grew about three to
four servings at
put it in a bank mason jar so you can
see i'm towards the end of mine and then
i love to grab a premier protein shake
and pour it right in so when i do that i
feel like i have this like yummy treat
this one is gonna be like a banana
chocolaty treat I love them all I love
salted caramel I love the chocolate I
love the vanilla
I love the banana I seriously love them
all with the trio and I just go ahead
and throw some ice in that and that is
the yummiest treat you can have and it's
so healthy for you and so great for you
and this premier protein has 30 grams of
carbs and only one gram of sugar which
is amazing so my last tip I want to do
for you guys for having a snack is make
sure you have apples or bananas or some
kind of fruit all in the counter make
sure whatever is in your eyesight is
healthy for you so it's not chips or
crap or anything like that because once
you see it you're gonna take it have the
things that you want to eat in your
eyesight the chopped up veggies the
fruits and vegetables on the counter hey
guys hope you like in the video if
you're new here subscribe to our channel
so you'll get notified every time we
upload a video and also comment down
below so I can welcome you to our family
ok the lunch time you guys so this is
the time I really try to get in my
vegetables lunch and dinner I love to
have a big ol salad during lunch I just
feel like the bigger the better and I'm
going to be so full after but being a
mom sometimes I don't have enough time
to make a complete salad I always try to
have kale or spinach or lettuce or
anything like that in the fridge that I
can make up a salad but lifesavers is go
to your local Costco or Sam's Club they
have these bags that are so healthy so
convenient and so yummy free this one
has Cal chia seeds and has dried
cranberries pumpkin seeds Brussels
spouts
cabbage all that it
they ready for you to go now I don't
want you to stop there what I want you
to do for me is drop some Tomatoes we've
got some feta cheese grab some chicken
and things of that sort have them in
your fridge so when you get your salad
add some protein into it add some more
vegetables broccoli tomatoes have some
feta cheese and you have a huge big
salad for lunch and it's art you pay for
you
I love enlightened ice cream seriously
love love love love it I love protein
ice cream and this is so creamy so good
my favorite is chocolate peanut butter
cookie dough and red velvet so if you
see this or if you have a sprouts by you
pick one up and try it there ice cream
bars are so good to you I seriously make
sure I get a treat every single night
whether it's a couple squares of dark
chocolate or whether it's a sunlight and
ice cream I don't want to starve myself
of not having much abuse throughout the
week and then I completely binge on the
weekend and that whole diet or the whole
eating healthy just went out the window
and I feel like awful about myself so
make sure you give yourself a little
treat every day so Sunday if it doesn't
come around and you think I gotta just
binge so alright cuz I'm not gonna have
it for the rest of the week make sure
you give yourself a little treat
throughout the week whatever it may be
so let's talk about dinner time I love
dinner time and it's so yummy but I
understand it's so hard to pretend
especially if you are working or your
partner or spouse is working - it's so
hard so one tip I have for you as I like
to do is make sure you grab your phone
this right here is gonna save you so
much every Thursday what I like to do is
I go through and I plan out every meal
from the
sweet at least dinner's I find out what
ingredients I need what I'm gonna make I
always make sure there's a vegetable in
it so it could be chicken on the trigger
with asparagus salmon with broccoli I
like making stuffed bell peppers or
zucchini boats or anything like that I'd
go and write the ingredients in my phone
of what I need at Walmart or my local
grocery store or Costco and so when I go
to the grocery store I'm not spending
more than what I don't need I know
exactly what I want what I need and I
don't spend more than that so every
night the mill is planned out I don't
have to worry about what are we doing
for dinner and the second tip I have for
you is make double and triple of
whatever your dinners are so me and Gail
Oni are huge fans of leftovers and for
lunches too so we will always make
double or triple of what we're eating
and then for lunch we can both have that
for lunch when we go to work and so it's
super easy and simple your lunch is
already done you don't even have to
think about it
so my very last tip I have for you guys
it's really hard and really difficult
when you have friends that say let's go
to lunch or let's go grab some ice cream
or anything of that sort make sure
people know what you want to succeed at
and like your goals and what you want to
do so they support you all these recipes
that I mentioned today you can find in
my Instagram on my recipe highlight reel

in there and how you make it so you can
