I Don't know who the heck who the heck joins the gym in November You know people I mean I personally I think that's the best time to do it I think it's the best time to really be watching what you're eating and stuff because you go on the holidays and Everybody's pigging out, you know, so some of you might be like hmm. I need to like make sure that I don't like stuff myself or Just overdo it during it during the holidays That that's kind of because I feel like a lot of you probably do take care of yourselves especially as Virgos because Virgos usually do take care of yourselves, but There's a lot of you are like, okay, I need to like ramp it up during the holidays I'm not looking like Santa out here Hell I could be the one dropping off the gifts just put a wig on me because I'm putting on so I'm not talking about me I'm just euphemism saying anyway be like, oh, I'm just putting I'm put on like 20 pounds like put a wig on me I'll drop those gifts off. No, no Okay So let's take a look here There might have been somebody here or it could be somebody could be meaning who You know had like addiction. Maybe they were over drinking or some type of addiction that come into the end of that So I let me just tell you real quick you guys there could be coming in Gemini Libra Aquarius a Scorpio, okay And that doesn't mean that it's not your person if I didn't call their sign It just means that's you showing up here, but we're gonna take a look at energies Somebody's put an end to something and they they've turned their lifestyle around and they're actually using the It's like sharing their experience strength and hope the stuff that they did before that was bad for them They're now they're now better and they're actually helping others and making money They're making money. They're making a profit Okay, show me this death card here. Okay Yeah, oh five of ones this person might be like in some kind of this feels very competition-ish like a like a fitness competition or they're doing something because I feel like whoever they are they used to be very Pudgy Quite pudgy or just kind of lazy or someone who just would you know indulge could be like weight gain In the reverse it is but in the upright. I feel like this person is like Changing that about themselves. No, like they're shedding weight. They're getting healthier. They might have been really lazy They might have in the past we're just looking for quick results to lose weight You know like taking pills and stuff like that But I feel like they've learned from the past and now they're just making their all everything heal for themselves Okay, so some of you You know, you're gonna be connecting with this person some of you already Okay, some of you may already be communicating with them and for others This definitely feels like in oh They're giving me Hold on. Oh, it could start up next week this week coming up May have already be may have already beginning some of you might have already joined Some type of program for better health mental health physical health You may have a mentor or a trainer Some of you are kickboxing or just boxing There's fighting energy with the 501 so some of you are like maybe some taekwondo or you're punching a bag If you're not you you may start doing that in November to get in better health better shape, okay Yeah to get moving a lot of you are gonna pay somebody To help you come out of your comfort zone and this person I feel like I'm seeing like two people teaming up Like honestly, I like right now. I'm not seeing like oh, you're gonna get married in November This feels like you're gonna meet somebody This person may be helping you To get into this because this person is really like loving themselves. They're really They have high confidence. They're really to the point. This could be somebody who's like in military male or female Who's like very regimented and disciplined? Or it could be you But there's an energy like going back to school and getting retrained I feel like a lot of you are gonna struggle a little bit with your self-esteem with that regard to that feel like you can't keep up With some new skills that you're learning and whatever area this person is going to be showing you Teaching you or helping you some of you have ended past relationships Okay with like maybe toxic or just very bad relationships. Some of you came out of those and Now you're like Getting in really good shape. Like you're really taking care of yourself, you know, and I'm not putting like all this Emphasis on the physical you could be doing this like getting mental health getting stronger in that way I feel like all aspects, you know, you're you're you got to go the spiritual gym the mental gym the physical gym You know, you got to do all that To get strong So some somebody here is like, I don't know hiring someone to help them And that's what I feel three three pentacles on the bottom here as well as right here So there's definitely an energy of learning some new stuff here. Okay. This is learning Something let's take a look here going back to school getting some training Going in the gym getting like a fitness trainer or doing Maybe competing in something it's really great I feel like a lot of you Okay, you have the four of sorts So this is really good.   You're just you may not even go in the gym Maybe just some of you are just starting to walk or run with a friend or just really get your health and get yourself ready for the holidays I feel which is really awesome Okay, trying to make sure I do feel That this person is coming in to help you they see that you had some kind of like mental restrictions that have prevented you from Being able to accomplish some certain things it's kind of like Imprisonment, right? Maybe you had a food issue or maybe you have an issue like a physical issue, but mostly this is like It's usually mind over matter, but it's the negative. It's that your mind is The obstacle like you are your biggest obstacle Always it's never anybody else You can you can do what you set your mind to and I feel like some of you've been struggling with loving yourselves first And I feel like you've got somebody coming in here Who's gonna help you get back on track? Okay, now listen, this is a love rating. Please show me if there's any love stuff going on here. Oh The emperors here Okay Well, this person for you guys This is a male or a female that's gonna help you get into boss mode Okay, the emperor is basically Like someone who has a very commanding way about them taking leadership So this person male or female will be helping you take a leadership role in your life like Pushing you to your limits More than you've ever been pushed before and I know some of you were like, oh, I have been putting no This person's got a strategic plan to help you get to like So high up raising the bar for you to reach so high up Then you've ever been before that you're almost Untouchable This is bizarre. Okay, wait, this is I'm gonna you know what I'm gonna see Was there a past thing here cuz I saw communication coming in let me see Was there a past person or what's going okay?   You just said no not doing it I'm withdrawing loving myself first Listen, I'm gonna tell you guys if you Left a relationship and you're like down in the dumps just get outside and start walking in the fresh air Start doing some taking the tiny steps if you're if you're not already if you're not doing that yet And you're just sitting around Like take some initiative.  You know if you're if you're working out at the gym You're walking through the park, you know, you're listening to uplifting music or sermons or me or your Just whatever you got to listen to that's just stuff that's going to fill your brain you got changed some tapes and Get that positive vibe going in your head that you're listening to you listen to one person who just lifts you up while you're working out or whatever and But you're out in nature or you're Around other people you got to be in that atmosphere Not you can do it at home, but you just you got to get in the zone And I feel like a lot of you walked away from something in the past You just ended something or somebody forced you to end something or they ended it with you And it's been like a struggle for you guys to just get yourselves, you know back up on the horse here Okay, King of Pentacles in the reverse Um difficult for you to follow through Definitely the King of Pentacles reverse has no follow-through And the reason why is because King of Pentacles in reverse when he's like that he or she Does not have a game plan You got to have like a strategic you got to like map it out Calendar put some like mini goals set some goals for yourself I feel like you got somebody coming in here is going to help you with that You know Let's see Okay, yeah, there was definitely a situation that happened in the past that um Somebody wasn't following through with you either the four of cups. So this kind of feels like to me somebody just was like Yeah I don't know did they lose interest? You know or they just were indifferent or felt indifferent to you.  So I want to know more. Who is this person coming in? Who is this person? So it could be an Aries could be an air sign This is somebody new Okay, well they got the four of cups too Oh, no, they don't have it.  I feel like I don't know if this is a lover I don't know that this is a lover Right when I said that page of cups. Okay All right now listen For some of you there is going to be some flirtation And part of that's going to make you feel pretty good about yourself You know, you could listen, um We're not looking at sex or gender here. Okay Like I said, it could be a male or a female some of you guys just need to get a female Uh workout partner or someone that's going to assist you because you guys need You know not all of you but some I don't know. I'm not going to go into that. I'm not going to deep dive into that But there is message there is communication There are like flirty messages you guys might be texting back and forth You know or what changing the schedule or coming in and and stuff like that Um, but there's like it just this is an energy of new love. So there's a good feeling Okay, um This person might even be volunteering extra time to help you You know, even though they make money, I feel like this person makes money on it They might actually volunteer extra time to help you or do extra things with you But I I definitely feel like something Starts happening here Something starts happening And I feel like this is meant to be happening Because this is like somebody coming in It it feels like this is everything that you wanted from your person like the support Um And the encouragement and the love this person left you feeling like you weren't worthy And you've got somebody new coming in here and now doesn't have to be like an actual fitness trainer It could just be somebody that you connect with While you're out doing you okay, so You know, they could be like your opponent in a boxing ring and you're just jabbing them left and right You know, if there's some type of playful energy, this could just be someone who's on the You know the I don't know the treadmill like five treadmills down from you. This could be someone at the front desk you know of a health club or Where you go do a reiki session or if you go to yoga or you do some type of physical activity There's a spark of love That comes here. That's happening here And this person I feel like gives you a lot of attention Um, they flirt with you. They're very sweet to you. They help you with things. They're attached This person is attached to the new you they're attached to your growth and your glow up or your power up Okay, let's see So let your friends help you. So I feel like this person is coming in to help you Definitely you guys become friends, but then just like a spark of love Okay, and I feel like this person Um They're they're hesitant. We have two hesitancy cards here. They're hesitant about taking it Far fast mostly because There might be Legal ramifications to that maybe because there is a professional A contract between you that gets like signed or money paid or something like that So I feel like when you're connecting with this person, I feel like you're going to feel the The flirtation and the energy like that, but I feel like this person's going to be Going to try to keep it friends for a little while just maybe until the professional aspect of the connection Is finished, you know Now this person may not actually have you sign a start and finish date so that they just can keep Contact like staying in touch with you Um They might try to prolong it. I just heard Okay, wow, I cannot believe the king of pentacles has shown up again Now for some of you, I just have to tell you Um I mean this person is definitely As time goes by As you guys start spending more time together, I feel like they're really going to Consider investing with you here, but I also feel Now the six of cups in the reverse here your past person, um, is thinking about you And um somehow or some way Uh, they're still stuck on you and You know, this is so strange This person is kind of like stuck in the past. They're still living in the past. They have unrealistic expectations, but I feel like They're kind of watching in some way or somehow Oh, well, we're not diving into the past because you guys, you know that if this person is watching you Do better and feel better and you have better things going on in your life and you're looking good and you're smelling good and you're feeling fine and You know all that will also be it, you know, what are you going to do? Okay? But I feel like this person who's going to be helping you out You know, there's definitely A romantic attraction here um And the more you grow and come into yourself The more you begin self-respecting the more romantically attractive you become to this person even though They're helping you they're seeing the changes and they're also like Okay, wow, I mean They're watching you bloom and they're help they're helping you bloom But they're watching you bloom and they're seeing like oh my gosh Virgo, hot damn You didn't look like that when you walked in here But wowza You know like the spark Cupid's arrow is not supposed to hit right away I feel like all this is supposed to play out first and then it hits Okay, but it's not just the physical It's also like the emotional or just the way you're carrying yourself as you go through these changes You guys are really putting in effort And really like investing in yourselves Maybe you're doing um, what's that just say crossfit Some of you might be doing or starting a crossfit program You might be lifting weights. You might be, you know Some of you might be taking some martial arts classes or somebody might you know empowering It's all about the power like the physical and then for the um, and even the gentle physical You could be doing yogurt tai chi like in the park with the 80 year olds, you know Which actually tai chi is a very dangerous martial art But you always see those people in the park going real slow, you know with their tai chi and everything and They could probably kick all of our asses So I definitely feel like you guys are You're embarking on something here Even if it's just like going to this could be a nutritionist or this could be Like I said, it's this could be an acupuncturist as well You know, look, I just got that How crazy Let's see if cal can pick up our cards. Look you could be just laying there This is from like the top view and like there's all the pins and needles around this acupuncture Okay, that could be going on or maybe a massage therapist like something's going on A little happy ending Okay, let me see. But again, like I said this person I feel like they Little hesitant. They're not going to make their moves. Wow justice twice They're not going to make their moves Right away Okay, they're really hesitant.  Okay, and I definitely feel like This person just wants to keep things even keel but eventually I feel like they're going to come out At some point Let me see Okay, yeah, they're gonna come to that crossroad here the two of ones Okay, they're they're so I just heard they're going to be um, very patient with you And I feel like they're watching and waiting. They want to make sure So it's basically like waiting for your results. They want to see what comes up and comes out You know, um, I feel like they're they're more focused On helping you and making sure that you feel At your your best in your top best For whatever goals you're trying to reach but this person starts Acquiring feelings for you. That's what I feel like's going on here.  I don't want this. Okay. That's fine. You don't want it It doesn't and listen, please do me a favor Don't not go and better yourself because there's a chance you might have an admirer If some of you are uncomfortable that with that you can always say no to that You know and just switch it up and go somewhere else or do something else Always put your health first. Okay There's the world card here making huge change. Definitely and this person I I feel like It's going to be like November through the holidays Where most of the changes like three months time, you know, like our November December January, I feel like Coming out of 2021 and starting in the new year is really when your love life is going to pick up With somebody here who's helping you through something All right, let me just see I want to see what your monology message is. Wait They just said to me They said wait a minute For some reason, I know you guys probably not going to want to hear this but They wanted me to tell you I'm just going to pull a few cards because I know there's some of you that want to hear the past person because I feel like your past person is Kind of like stuck in the past About you and them. I don't really feel like your past person Has moved on even if they're with somebody else I feel like they're stuck on you because you've moved on All right, so what is your past person want you to know? They know that they cross the line with you Okay They bury themselves and work to forget you.  Be proud of yourself Don't do it because you want to try and get somebody back or you'd want to make somebody pay Don't do ever never do it out of revenge Just live your best life and show that you're living your best life if that's something that you want to do Right I wish I had treated you better.  Maybe a spiritual counselor for some You know or just really making changes Um Doing some studying or getting learning some school like really just upping your your Raising the bar on yourselves And setting high goals for yourselves Do it 100 do it this person cannot stop thinking about you and they actually think While they love you and they think that you guys will be together again now for some of you I will say that You've walked away. Is it permanently?  It's draining my energy I don't have time for this.  Oh, this is hot and steamy Oh my goodness. All right, let me see And I have seen men with female fitness trainers Okay, and I've seen males with male fitness trainers and females with female fitness trainers like It doesn't matter when the spark You go for whatever floats your boat whoever your preference is that's what you're going to have here I don't know who I'm talking to so I just can't go I can't be specific All right, this new person balance one person giving too much in this relationship Um, hmm I feel like it's this new person is really going to be giving themselves Like remember I said voluntary voluntary Helping you trying to help you doing a little bit extra You know to help you or just I kind of feel like I just saw someone with a with a golf with a golf Club and someone's standing behind behind them helping them swing That kind of thing going like like, you know being that close I don't know.  Okay, this is going to be your marriage partner This is the one This is the one Forgiveness forgiving yourself Or another will help you move forward into new love. I feel like Some of you are going to meet somebody If you haven't already met them where you guys are doing the same thing your lives are in alignment You're on the same page with this person You both are liking the same things you're interested. You You know, you might meet during a marathon if somebody's running a marathon. I just heard With other people as well Um, this could be a coach for some in a sport If you play in some kind of a sport Obsession, oh this person like this is what it turns to that's what I'm saying as as you become better as you get better As you get more skilled as you start becoming more in shape as you start gaining your confidence back Whatever you're doing this person It becomes more and more wowed by you The longer you're spending time with them Okay.  There you go That's what a little bit of this is happening here. Okay flirtation fun Fun sexy times. I feel like a lot of it too. It just feels good like a lot of it It's just going to be you being heavily distracted by someone who's tremendously attracted to you and also Is really loving you and digging you and wants to spend time with you but also wants to help you Like you guys have a common goal or a common purpose Abundance you've done the work. Yep abundance flows to you now.  I just feel like they're kind of watching you Just to see see if they can get a glimpse of what's going on. Some of you can start posting stuff Showing your changes and all and this person is they're I feel like they're watching Or they're looking or seeking to see um What changes you've made I I'm not like well, actually You know what? There is jealousy This person has a jealous streak, but you're not going to see the jealous streak in them Or they're not they're not going to be feeling in it this time because they're not going to know That there's another person So the jealousy isn't going to be there But they do have a jealous streak like naturally That king of pentacles in the reverse is a very jealous person so If they do see you with somebody or if they find out like some of you Could just be like i'll give you an example like say you're you working out and you're losing weight You're getting in really good shape and you're getting toned and you could be like putting yourself out there a bit So that's all they see maybe you're posting pictures of your food Your salad you're making certain foods. Maybe you have like i don't know Your protein shakes and whatever you're doing and So this person your past person just is seeing that If you're doing that now or will be there's that's what they're seeing But then as soon as that picture comes up with you and you're You're your coach or your trainer or whomever else And it's innocent because you guys become friends like I said Um And it's innocent. You're both doing something together. Then this person sees that and they're like, aha And then they start, you know, the tapes start running in their head and they start getting jealous and they think you're with this person And is there some flirtation or whatever are you feeling good? Yeah, but is it official? No But then this person is now Then they really start wanting you when they see you with somebody else So that's not advice for you to do that if that's something that you want to do that's up to you And if you don't it doesn't mean it's not going to happen The what i'm picking up here Let me see What other messages here wealth health and abundance. That's what's coming to you Okay, vergo things are looking good.  The energies are strong and powerful And all of the world is your play place So I feel like you're gonna be doing a lot of playing With somebody new. Hey speed and travel. Okay so the energy of this card feels like um These changes that you're making um Are going to start showing very quickly. Okay as soon as you get started Whatever changes you're making mental physical spiritual emotional whatever you're making These things are going to start happening very quickly people are going to start noticing these changes and you A lot faster than normal. Okay, because I feel like You're really going to be putting your energy and effort and going hard at this and The more you put in the more you'll get out, right? You might be traveling a little bit as well Be careful of like traveling in a vehicle like be careful Speeding I just want to say because I feel like some of you might be getting a ticket Or something just be careful of getting a speeding ticket That's just like a side message for somebody here Let me see what else?   I don't know what i'm talking about. That's how that works I haven't been on this planet for this long and not experience these things trust me Your negative thinking keeps the love offers from coming in so get out there One thing vergo needs to do less thinking more walking. You need to take on that fiery energy Less analyzing less thinking about things less Overthinking things as soon as you feel like if you're going to over if you're going to overthink anything Overthink positive thinking Okay, because vergo listen nobody can tell you not to overthink and overanalyze something It's just your nature. It's how you are But people can tell you what you need to be thinking about Okay, so as soon as that negative thoughts start coming in you need to flip them upside down and start obsessing about the positive thoughts Overanalyze those don't waste your time on the negative thinking because that Has an effect on you When you when you start thinking positively you start believing god or spirits there to help you or higher power And you start having faith and trusting you get a little pep in your step You start feeling better about your life and this person Whom i feel is going to be in your life very soon If not already Is really going to start seeing these changes in you not this past person because they are seeing it But i feel like you're all about you right now And i feel like you're going to be really attracting someone as you make some huge changes in your life here Some of you might be getting some cosmetic surgery or you're getting some Some might be getting gastric bypass Or so you're doing something for your health. You're making yourself better um This person who's connecting to you they know all about this And i feel like they're going to be like a friend and a support a supporter for you, but also love comes out of this Which is very beautiful deeply loving male or female. Okay That could be you guys or that could be this person, but they're going to be significant somebody here is going to be significant To you test of faith and boundaries. Here you go. You're definitely going to be tested at this time It's not going to be easy This is not going to be easy Okay, you've got the self card.  Don't beat yourself up Live and let live That's good advice It's all about you. Okay, you're definitely going to meet. See I told you expect sweet text messages from somebody new You could you could be receiving them from your past person but um I feel like if you're getting these types of messages from your past person and something ended I feel like these These are better saved for people.   You're moving on.  I want to try to rebuild our relationship again. What can I do? They can't be coming in with these sweetness. This is this is flirt flirtation Okay, this should be coming from somebody new not not your past person because then they got a lot of nerve Coming in with those sweet text messages with you after they either dumped you or neglected you like that Mm-hmm block This is somebody new That's coming in here that the flirting starts and it's going to be along the lines of like Hey, I know you just left but You you forgot to sign this paper Uh, can you come in real fast? Can you come back real fast?  I have something else. I want to show you or talk to you about it's that kind of stuff This person starts prolonging They want to try to get more time with you But be professional Like I don't feel like they're going to ask you out on a date right away. I feel like This is something beautiful that's growing so Enjoy it because your focus right now is on you and that's where it needs to stay and I feel like I like this person who's like that with you because They have a job to do you have a job to do a lot of you aren't going and Doing whatever you're doing because you're looking for love You're doing because you're looking to love yourself and then you find love or it finds you But don't get off course Right if you've got a plan and a strategy and you have some goals Make sure you're reaching those goals and you're accomplishing those goals. Don't get sidetracked by love Don't get sidetracked by any x's or anything like that.  And let yourself see the changes. All right. You know g card A new start is coming.  Just doing your thing.  I love it That's what you should be doing when you're out of a relationship or when something's not working out or it's over or Whatever happened the last thing you want to do is be grieving for 10 years You got to take your time to cry. You got to get connected with your friends But you got to get right back up on that horse And start working on yourself and it's you know, because when you're in a relationship, then Relationships are about two people.

Marchiano, I think it was a movie about him or something and um I don't know. I don't know why that I don't know why that came up. I mean we do have like a We do have like a bull here, but raging bull. I don't know.  I can't remember what it's called But I have the image in my mind, you know with a matador and and what have you okay Again with the christmas tree. I don't know what the deal is with the christmas tree But I'm just gonna all I'm picking up from that right away. So first thing I'm saying is This person could be a capricorn. It could be an earth sign you're connecting with or air whatever. They're all over the place, but expect um So as far as competing you're completing your goals. I'm feeling like around The end of december going into january. Whatever this goal is you have Okay, there's something magical happening around christmas. Gee it might just be that it's christmas. That's magical Okay, ooh somebody's name might be grace This new person you might meet their name might be grace All right, so you have a fork So that means watch your eating and again I saw that fish bone and that really is just telling me like start eating more fish Healthy fish and vegetables. I know some of you're like I don't like fish Okay, well eat chicken then I'm not taking that but I am taking this So we've got a pentacle here. I told you earth sign Okay, pentacle represents earth which represents the physical. So all of this is a physical thing that's happening here Okay, so I know there's a percentage of you who are not going to the gym You're not going to work out. You're not doing bodybuilding competitions or just body or whatever That's fine. So I know some of you can't do that. Maybe based on age or injuries or whatever It doesn't matter. It could be other things that you're doing But even if you're able to just If you're in a wheelchair, just lift your arms up and down 20 times Okay, if you can't do anything majorly physical or exert yourself go for a nice 10 minute walk around the block Anything but this has to do with the physical Okay, um physical abundance Some of you might be training or you might learn to become fitness trainers yourselves In the physical or become a trainer of something for mental physical emotional and spiritual health Okay It would be very good money. You're gonna you guys will make very good money at it Um, let me just give you a couple of dates I'm not going to pull any more charms, but I want to give you Okay, so I'm hearing now these dates could be significant.

And last but not least is my Facebook group another amazing supportive wonderful community that would love to have you. So head on over and join us. So let's jump into this exciting yet interesting meal prep. This week improvising my original meal plan I'm making a raspberry breakfast crepe. I just actually got a crepe maker which I'm super excited about. So before I show you what's in this week's recipe, let me show you my crepe maker in case it's something that you've been looking at or that you're interested in. I want to share with you guys my crepe maker kind of a little more in depth. This is the first time I've ever had one and I'm pretty darn excited about it because it just doesn't do crepes. You can do blintz's pancakes, bacon, you can really cook anything on this crepe maker that is cooked on a griddle. So I love that it replaces basically two kitchen appliances and it's much smaller. So this is a 12 inch crepe maker from the company basic concepts. It has a very simple dial to use and understand. It comes with both tools to create your crepes, pancake splintz's and then it comes with a hundred recipes that you can do on your crepe maker. This is super cool and this is saving the day for this meal prep because I don't have my oven. What I love too is this particular one has a built in indicator light. The light will stay on until it's warmed up and then once the desired setting is reached it will go off. So that's really nice because then you know that your crepe maker is ready to be used. The wooden spatula and then this is that cool spreader.  I'm pretty excited to be like a crepe professional. It has lifetime replacement if it doesn't exceed your expectations and then of course it's from amazon so you could always return it. But right now this particular crepe maker is 49.95 but then there's a 5% off coupon and that is right now. So if you're interested go grab it while you can because as you know those coupons and things on amazon change all the time. So there you have it. That's my crepe maker. So let's make our breakfast and here is what is in our breakfast. So you're going to need some flour, light butter, milk of your choice. I'm using whole milk because we have it on hand and I want it to add that little bit of extra creaminess and it doesn't change calories or points really at all. We're not using enough to really make much of a difference. You'll also need eggs. This is my monk fruit Lakonto sweetener which is my very very favorite. I just have it in this pretty little jar.  So you can hop on order all your favorite Lakonto products. You guys know I love the chocolate chips. All the monk fruit sweeteners and golden powdered and granulated all for 15% off. So that'll be down below for you raspberries. I'm just using fresh raspberries from my imperfect foods box. Again I'll link imperfect foods for you two with $10 of free groceries and then some salt. So I'm really excited. Let's make some crepes and cross your fingers that they turn out. So to start our crepes the first thing you're going to need is a bowl and a whisk. You can also use a hand mixer if that's easier for you. So I'm going to crack my three eggs into my bowl and whisk those or beat those together really really well. Now we're going to beat in one cup of milk. Again I use the whole milk and one and a half tablespoons of light butter melted. So go ahead and add that and beat that really really well. Once that is mixed really well we're going to add just a pinch of salt and then we are going to add in three quarters of a cup of flour and one tablespoon of the monk fruit sweetener. So I just leave mine in this cute jar but one tablespoon of that and then again mix really really well until everything is incorporated. I'm warming up my crepe maker. You can see here that I have it turned on kind of halfway between the light and the dark. That green light will go on once it is warm to temperature. So we're going to let that warm up. I went ahead and measured out three tablespoons of light butter just so we can add that to the crepe maker to make our crepes. Here is our batter. It turned out really really well and I'm just going to use a one half of a cup to scoop it onto the crepe maker. I went ahead and sprinkled a little bit of the monk fruit over my raspberries just to sweeten them up a bit. This is actually the filling for the breakfast crepe. Alrighty our green light is on so we are at temperature. So this again is about three tablespoons of light butter. This recipe makes four crepes so I want to make sure that I'm only adding enough butter for one crepe at a time. So go ahead and spread that out over the top. Just get your griddle pan looped up a little bit with that light butter. You could also use non-stick cooking spray if you wanted to save on a little bit of points and then I'm going to get about one half of a cup of my crepe mixture and pour that onto the crepe maker. You guys this is super super cool that this is designed for crepes but can be used for so many different things. I'm pretty darn excited about this and I'm really excited to use this guy. So this is actually designed to bring the crepes to the edges. So you kind of flood the crepe with this so that it makes it nice and big and it can go all the way to the edge of this pan because there is a little lip on it which prevents the crepe from flowing over the edge. We are going to let this cook and then we'll flip when it's ready. So you can see my crepe doesn't really show any liquid. So you guys it's my first time making this but I think that kind of like eggs it's ready to be flipped when it's in a solid form. So I'm going to use the little wooden spatula that came with my crepe.  Oh it looks like it's pretty solid okay. Okay you guys realize that did not work so well. I think if we use a spatula instead of this an actual spatula that will help. So it kind of got a little wonky when I flipped it. So next one we make let's try flipping it with a spatula and see if that actually flips it more evenly but it's still going to work. It just won't be as pretty as we were hoping but once you flip it over this is where you add in whatever filling that you want to use. So I'm just going to add in some fresh raspberries and then when I go to eat this I may top it with a bit of powdered sugar. Alicanto makes an excellent powdered sugar. So we'll just kind of see how I'm feeling each day but I wouldn't want to do that anyways until I go to eat the crepe and at this point is when you would actually fold your crepe over. Now if mine would have flipped a little bit better it would look a little nicer. By flipping it it will help cook the raspberries in the middle as well and make them really nice and juicy. So go ahead and flip that over give it a little bit of a press just to make sure that it's sealed closed and we're good to go. And now we're just going to transfer the crepe which I think crepes are generally smaller than this. I don't know I should do a little more crepe research but I'm going to transfer the crepe here to a plate. She isn't the prettiest but it smells and looks delicious. So now we're going to start on crepe number two and remember this recipe makes four crepes total and this time I am going to flip with a spatula. So I'm hoping that that kind of helps flip it a little bit better. So that worked a lot better using the spatula. It wasn't perfect but it definitely worked better. Now if you had a wider kind of cookie type of spatula that would be ideal but you know what that works a lot better. So we're going to add in the raspberries in the middle and kind of keep your raspberries towards the center so they don't poke out the ends and fall out. That's what happened with my last one. And then I'm just going to kind of roll it up and make a crepe. This definitely looks a lot better than the other one. So spatula for the win. So the crepes are done. Doesn't this look so good? I added a little bit of powdered sugar to it. What I plan on having with my crepe is some zero point protein some eggs. I might fry up some Canadian bacon even though that's points it's very very minimal but this is a great start to a breakfast. So in here I have the other three crepes that I made because it made four servings total. Each crepe is six smart points so that's not bad at all on all plants 237 calories. So again you could pair this with eggs, you could do sausage, bacon, whatever works into your points or calories but this is a sweet, indulgent, easy breakfast and this crepe maker saved the day because of my oven. So I'll link it down below for you guys and this is breakfast for the next four days. For lunch this week I'm making an instant pot recipe. I have to say I'm really happy that I have other cooking sources like an instant pot and a couple of air fryers and that amazing crepe maker just so I can still prep my food and stay on track. So I'm so grateful for that. So this recipe is all done in the instant pot which I love because it's easy. This is a chicken tortellini soup. It's cold here so soup comes in perfect this time of year. The soup you'll need six cups or one and a half boxes of chicken stock, oil of your choice. This is just the chosen foods avocado oil, minced or fresh garlic. The recipe calls for a bag of frozen vegetables but because I'm on a whim making this recipe I don't have any frozen mixed veggies so I'm going to put in a can of green beans and a can of rotel and that'll give it that little bit of extra vegetables. Some cut up celery sticks, a couple of yellow onions, chicken breast. I have just under a pound here. This is the boneless chicken breast from butcher box. You guys know I love butcher box. Troy and I had steak the other night and we're saying how amazing the quality is. There is such a huge difference between butcher box meat and traditional GMO grass fed meat so we love the butcher box. We get it every single month. I will link it down below with $30 off your first box so highly recommend. I know a lot of you are changing up the way you're eating in the new year and really having a focus on real whole organic food so butcher box is a huge huge game changer when it comes to that. Salt and pepper and you'll need some frozen or you could even use fresh tortellini. So the first thing I'm going to do is just quickly chop up a few celery sticks and my onions. I'm just going to pop them here in a bowl until we put together everything in the instant pot. So we are ready to go. I've got my instant pot. I'm going to add one tablespoon of oil in the bottom. The order of the ingredients that I put in my instant pot is the way the recipe calls for. Apparently there is a set process for adding the ingredients. So my instant pot is currently off. I have the one tablespoon of oil then we are going to add the cut up onions and celery and I will link my instant pot down below for you guys. I just bought it off of amazon. I love it. It's pretty darn amazing and then we are going to add in the two chicken breasts. We're actually putting these in thawed but in whole form. Next up is the six cups of chicken broth. Now the recipe says to add the tortellini in but as I read further into the recipe it tells me to add the tortellini in after it's done cooking. So I'm going to do that. I'm afraid that if I add it in at this stage like part of the recipe says that it would come out really mushy. So I am just going to add it in when this portion is completely done. So last but not least is some garlic. I hardly have any left here in my container. So I'm just going to put the rest of the minced garlic in and then some salt and pepper. I'm now going to put my lid on and it says to cook it on high for five minutes. So I'm going to hit the manual button for five and we'll be back in a flash as soon as it's done. All right. I just did the quick release on the instant pot when all the pressure is released. We'll pop the lid off, add in our tortellini and our veggies. So I just popped the lid off.  I'm pretty darn stoked for this lunch. So you can see my couple of chicken breasts kind of floating here in the liquid. I'm going to pop these out and shred these up and then we'll re-add the chicken to the broth. So the chicken is shredded and re-added. This looks so good. Okay. So last step is the veggies. So you would use the frozen mixed veggies if you follow the recipe. But I'm adding in my rotel and my can of drained green beans. And this is just going to add the veggies that I wanted to my soup. And then the entire time it was cooking, I had my frozen tortellini out. So it's nice and soft and thawed now. So make sure that you don't add it in frozen if you use the refrigerated tortellini. That's perfect. Otherwise just let it thaw out while your soup is cooking and add that in. We're going to pop the lid back on for five to 10 minutes. We just want to make sure that that tortellini softens and it will soften all on its own by just being in the hot broth. The soup is ready to go. So our tortellinis are nice and softened.  It makes six servings. I'm going to dish up four servings and four individual bowls and then two servings in one bowl for Troy. That way he can try a little bit of the soup too. So here is my completed lunch. How easy was this in the instant pot? You get some chicken for protein, tortellini with cheese for carbon protein, and I'm really happy I chose to add in the green beans and rotel. I think it's going to really give it a nice flavor. So this really full bowl is actually two servings. This is the one I'm going to set aside for Troy. And then this is one serving. This is a large, large meal prep bowl and it is full, full, full, full of the soup, which is amazing because it is only three smart points per bowl on blue and purple and only five points on the green plan. The only thing on blue and purple that has points, you guys, is the tortellini. So that is so nice to be able to have a big hearty bowl of soup for three to five points, 244 calories the way that I created it. Again, using the green beans in the rotel. But this is lunch. I'm really, truly looking forward to this for a sweet treat this week. Since we could make our ginger cookies, that recipe I promise is coming as soon as my oven is fixed, we're going to do what's called a blackberry slump, which basically is a stovetop version of cobbler. I'm excited for this. I love cobbler. I'm excited that this meal prep used my crepe maker, my instant pot, and now we're going to make a dessert on our stovetop. So in the event that your oven ever fails, you have lots of recipes to make that don't require the oven other than the stovetop. So here's what's in our blackberry slash blueberry slump. First you'll need flour, whole milk, monk fruit, sweetener. Again, I'll link the content down below with 15% off, light butter, salt and baking powder, a lemon for both the zest and the juice, cinnamon, and then blackberries. But I have mine mixed with blueberries. So mine's going to be a blackberry blueberry slump. And then you're also going to need one third cup of water. So to make the blackberry slump, the first thing we're going to do is make our dumpling batter. And what's really cool about this is we're going to drop the dumpling mix into the pan. So it's all done in one pan, which is really cool as well. So I have one cup of all purpose flour. To that, I'm going to add one and a half teaspoons of baking powder. This is a half teaspoon. So we'll add in three of those. We're also going to add in one half of a teaspoon of salt and then two tablespoons of monk fruit sweetener. You can add more if you would like. It is zero points, but I'm going to follow the recipe pretty much to a tea. And also there is sugar in the fruit mixture as well. So there's a little bit in the dumpling dough and a little bit in the fruit mixture. And then we are going to add in or cut in our two tablespoons of light butter. So we're going to add that in and kind of use our spoon in a cutting motion and cut in that butter and then mix all the rest of the dumpling dry ingredients together. Now we're going to add in one third cup of milk and give that a stir. And that will make the dumpling consistency that we're looking for. So here is our dumpling mixture. I'm going to go ahead and form this into a ball. Our dough ball is formed. So let's put together the rest of the recipe to a two quart saucepan. I've added four cups of fresh berries. So I added that entire container of blueberries and blackberries. I did go ahead and squeeze that fresh lemon and zest of that. I'm also going to add in a little bit of cinnamon or a lot of it in my case. And then lastly one third cup of water. And we're going to let this come to a boil. And I decided to go ahead and add in the lemon zest as well. Now that the berries have started to warm just a bit, I added in one half of a cup of the Lakonto monk fruit sweetener as well. So this is going to make a nice thick kind of lemony sauce. So it is coming to a boil. What we're going to do is just give it a stir. We want to make sure the berries are nice and coated in the sauce. Just make sure that you get them wet so that when we add in the dumplings, they'll continue to cook really good together. So now I have my dumpling ball and I'm literally just going to rip off dough and place it around the edge of the pan. And this is what's going to form the dumplings once it softens and cooks. All right, dumplings are in. We are going to pop a lid on, reduce the heat just a little bit and let this simmer and cook for about 25 minutes or until the dumplings are cooked through. Trick is, do not remove the lid. Even to peek at the dumplings, leave the lid on for a solid 25 minutes. Look at how amazing this looks.  I'm really happy that my oven broke when it comes to this recipe. So I am going to pop the lid off and that is our slump. So like I said, it's kind of a cobbler consistency. I think it's even pretty thick. So I'm going to take this off of the heat. Let this cool for just a few minutes. This entire pot only makes four servings. I'm not going to divide this out. I'm just actually going to leave it in the pot with the lid on and just pop that into my refrigerator. But I do want to give you guys some points and calories. So it's been cooling for just a couple of minutes. It's still pretty hot. I will let it cool 100% completely before I pop it in the refrigerator. But again, this entire pot makes four servings. It is only five smart points on all plans. And that's not bad at all considering there's a dumpling and a crust added to the fruit mixture. But look at how good this looks, you guys. It's thick. It smells incredible. It's 181 calories per serving. Wow. Again, I'm excited. So even though my oven broke, these three recipes turned out better than expected. Thank you so much for joining me on another weekly WW meal prep. I'm so glad that I was able to still prep three really delicious recipes for you even without an oven.

You know, I decided a few years ago to become a student of racism. One of the reasons I decided to put myself in the seat of the listener and the learner about racism is... I always struggled with when people called each other racists to wonder whether I was one or not. Am I a racist?  But what helped me was talking to black people around the world, especially in places like South Africa, that I had a legalized form of oppression and people in America, particularly in the southern states of America that had its segregation as well as you all know, asking them help me to understand what it is that I am missing. I don't think I'm a racist, but I don't think I understand the issue, the problem, and I want to. And it's then that I began to understand racism better from the perspective of white privilege.  I never understood white privilege again because I've never felt privileged in my life because I'm white.  You don't know what you don't know. And I wanted to be in someone else's skin. I wanted to be in a black person's skin. The only way to do that is to learn, to not teach or speak to learn. And for 10 years now, I've been doing multiple experiments, interviews, discussions, reading, listening, watching what it's like to be in a black person's skin. And now I understand white privilege. I spoke to a gentleman in South Africa, a black South African, some years ago and he said this to me to help you understand white privilege. He said, what are the color of band-aids? Sticking plasters, we call them in England. I said, well, they're flesh color. He said, well, what color flesh are they? And I thought, yeah, they're white Caucasian colored flesh. He said, that's right. He said in South Africa, a country of 60 million people, 40 million of those people are black, but there's no band-aids. That's the color of their skin. He said to me, how many black superheroes is there? I could only think of one that had just recently come out, which was the Black Panther. I think there's two Iron Man sidekick as well. But he said to me, exactly. He said, you know, there are over 7,000 superheroes in the Marvel Comics franchise and we only have one black superhero after all this time. He began to tell these things to me and I began to understand what he meant by white privilege and our blindness to a world that's stacked in our favor and a world that's rigged to their disadvantage. In America, I spoke to people, black people, and they asked me questions like, listen, to understand white privilege, ask yourself this, can you drive into any neighborhood without being followed, reported, being suspicious? Can you walk in any store without being observed or followed by the store security people? Can you date any girl of any color that you like? Can you apply for any job that you want? Can you get credit and loans for your business? Can you get a mortgage? Can you live in a neighborhood you want to? And on and on and they said to me, we can't because we are black and I began to understand that I was born privileged. It's not different to how people that are born male in many cultures are born privileged by being male or been born into a certain caste level in India. Being born into a certain caste system gives you a privilege, an inherited, gifted, bequeathed privilege that wasn't earned, it was given and granted because of the status you were born in.  And to not be aware that you are privileged has the same effect on people as being racist. But to be in other people's shoes, to understand what life looks like from their skin, their shoes, their world is the only way we white people will understand what they've been trying to tell us for generations.  Are you privileged because of the condition you were born in? The socioeconomic status you were born in, the color of your skin, the caste, the gender, whatever it may be, that's what they are trying to tell us. And I'm not asking anybody to apologize for it, and they're not either. Black people are asking us to apologize for being born white. They're asking us to be aware that being born white gives us an artificial empowerment over those that were not born white. That's it. And to be aware of that, and to walk with an awareness of that, and to not live inside the confinement of that, and to use your and use our privilege to speak up for those that are not privileged because they were not born the same color or status as us, is all underprivileged people, is all minorities, ask us to do. So I become much more aware of that in the last few years, and that's why I've been vocal on this for years, and I've now began to post some things on social media. Boy, does it bring out the haters, and that's my point. White people, the viciousness, the rage. When anybody like my skin color says anything of this kind, the rage is scary. I just wanted to say those things to you guys, to add my voice to what's going on in the world. Love you guys, love and praise are with you all. Thank you.


In this module, we'll talk about the basic unit of proteins, the amino acids. We look at the structure of amino acids and we'll see how the monomer of this protein molecule form bonds among different monomer units which are the amino acids. As we have already mentioned that proteins are the most abundant macromolecules or the large molecules present in the cell. They perform very important functions. A list of those functions is displayed on the slide. Proteins play an important role in sport providing the structural elements, protection of the cells. For example, our antibodies are made up of proteins. Proteins also can catalyze different reactions. Proteins play an important role in transport within the cell or within an organism. Proteins as I've already mentioned they play a role in defense through antibodies and also through other mechanisms. Regulation and movement. Proteins as we know muscle as actin and myosin which allows muscle to contract both these molecules are proteins. Proteins can also regulate cellular function. We'll look at all these examples of protein functions during the duration of this course but for now I just wanted to emphasize that proteins can perform many many different very versatile functions. The only function proteins don't perform is store genetic information. Let's look at the basic structure of an amino acid. I've already mentioned that the amino acid has two groups and a minogroup and a carboxyl group attached to a central carbon. The central carbon has two other bonds. It forms the central carbon forms a bond with a hydrogen atom and another and another bond with another type of or another group of molecules. In this case this group of molecules or group of atoms is referred to as our group. Next we will also look at some of the features or some of these are groups. What are these are groups because they can have an effect on the structure of the protein after it has formed. We also know that the 20 different amino acids that that can make proteins. We look at all these amino acids. However, I would like to mention that I don't want students to remember or memorize the structures of these amino acids. Please just pay attention to the basic concepts and the basic nature of these amino acids. We are going to divide these amino acids into different groups. Let's look at the first group. A minor acids which have charged groups as you have seen their two types of charges positively charged positive charge and negative charge is a group of minor acids to which have a negatively charged molecule attached to it in the form of our group. For example aspartic acid and glutamic acid both these amino acids have a negative charge because of carboxyl group. The other group is positively charged minor acids three minor acids in it in this group and these minor acid minor acid our groups have a positive charge on them. The next group is a minor acids which are attached to molecules which have no charge. These are molecules which don't have any charge on them. However, they can give special functions to proteins. There's another group of molecules that are group molecules that are polar. They don't have a charge per se but they have polar atoms in them. We have discussed polarity in our previous module and there's a group of amino acids which are special cases three three three amino acids in this group. The most important one that I want you to pay attention to is cysteine because the sulfur atom in cysteine can form sulphide bonds within the protein molecule and that results in a specific shape of the protein. Next I briefly want to mention how these molecules are these amino acids they are linked together. We will cover that in the next module.
