- Welcome back to my channel!
Thank you for joining me in my #ShleesHealthJourney Series! If you are new here, I'll give you a quick update! In the midst of the madness that was #QuarantineLife, my boyfriend and I moved further south in Colorado into a new home so that we could be closer to our business once it was able to reopen. In the midst of that big transition as well as all of the uncertainty and stress surrounding the pandemic, we both fell off of our health plan and need to get back on track. I have tried what feels like every diet, health plan, and weight loss trend imaginable including Weight Watchers (WW), NutriSystem, intermittent fasting, counting calories, YOU NAME IT! The best plan that has worked for me is the Optavia 5&1 Program because it is easy to follow and easy to keep up with in my CRAZY busy lifestyle. If you are looking for some weight loss motivation, looking to get back on track with your health, or just want to join a community of positive minds with similar goals, WELCOME! Follow along on my journey to optimal health and we can do it TOGETHER!
Today I am sharing my FULL DAY Of EATING on my Optavia 5&1 Program! I'm showing my eating routine, the 5 fuelings I ate during the day, how I made sure to drink all of my water, how I make my coffee in the morning, how your body is adjusting, how you will feel from the time you wake up to the time you go to bed, and my quick, EASY, and healthy LEAN & GREEN WEEKLY MEAL PREP! Use this guide as a starting point for your journey on the Optavia 5&1 Plan, or if you are just looking for some new healthy options to incorporate into your household to live a more healthy lifestyle!

My favorite L&G are salads. Top fave is the Big Mac Salad - I make it like you do except I add a 1 TBSP drizzle of yellow mustard in addition to the 1000island dressing. So yum. I also love to make Zuchinni noodles and meat sauce with Raos marinara or Zuchinni noodles and ground chicken or turkey with Raos Alfredo sauce. So good and quick!
How much have u lost?
Hey Ashley. Started the Optavia 5&1 program 2 weeks ago and finding your channel is a life saver. You inspire me with your optimism and great plans.
You are a life saver and I'm so glad I came across your video. Just started on Optavia and had no ideas of what to prep for my 5&1 program. You made it so easy. I was trying to find different meals everyday. Thank you so much.
I'm so glad - you're very welcome!! ❤️❤️ This program is amazing - and having support is a fantastic way to crush your goals! Lean in to your coach - so glad you're here! 👏🏻
You made so easy with your videos. I’m visual learner and you are a diet savior ❤️ thank you so much 😊 👍
These videos help me stay motivated! Also have great ideas. Keep them coming!
Hi Ashley, I am beginning the program on January 1st and am very excited! I was so glad to find you as my coach is not doing a very good job of being reachable 😔 I hope you’re still on the program and posting. In the meantime, I am starting to watch your videos to figure this program out!! Thanks for being so helpful! I think you’re beautiful and fun!
Aww girl thank you so much for watching and WELCOME to this incredible community! ❤️ we are so happy to have you here! You are gonna ROCK 2022!!! 🤩
Thank you so much! I’m waiting for my first box to arrive! I have been really enjoying your videos and want to say thank you for making them! I will be following you so much!
You are so fun! I could imagine sitting down and sharing coffee with you!
You are really informative. I’m getting ready to sign up and it’s great to know what to do so that it doesn’t seem like another boring weight loss adventure. Thanks
Ashley, Why are you not using the Optavia vegetable conversion chart? I was told we don't measure but weigh our vegetables.
I weigh my veggies.
I was told by my coach to use cup measurements
@@ThriftyTee70 , I see in the guides they use cups but that seems like a really inaccurate way to measure (to me). I mean, how much do you squash stuff in? Or something like measuring celery sticks in a measuring cup? Just seems odd to me. As someone who has counted calories/macros for a while, I just have to weigh stuff, LOL.
Organic coconut oil!!!!
The best for your face! I love it!
More! Love it!
LOL - So glad you loved it! Thank you for being here!
10/10/21 = saw your video for the 1st time today, loveeeeeeeeeee your video and the DETAILS you showed us on all your fuelings and lean and green prep and cooking. you go girl, FANTASTIC Video!!! I am re-starting my 5 and 1 tomorrow, yeh! Ty for the inspiration to keep it nice and simple :)
I’m new here and I love that you have these videos to help me with my start up. Thank you
Aww girl yay!! So glad they can help you on your journey too! ❤️❤️❤️
Starting 5& Jan 1. So excited. So glad I found your channel!!
Love your channel! I’m enjoying my OptaVia 5&1 journey so much. The only thing I have discovered is that by weighing my veggies on my digital scale (using the veggie conversion chart from OptaVia) versus measuring them in a 1/2cup measuring cup - the difference is remarkable!
Adding Walden Carmel syrup and couple tblspn of cream~ What a game changer. Thank you for that tip! I’m enjoying watching; I’m motivated when I see your prep and how to’s....
My skin went through the same thing when I moved from texas to PA this year. I started using the first aide beauty ultra repair moisturizer over my serums and then set that with a face oil. I also started using a steamer on my face and a humidifier in my room at night. Helped immensely.
I love watching your videos. I have been on Optavia since July but have really struggled the last several months. I am starting again tomorrow 100 % committed this time. Hoping to lose a lot of pounds.
Great video. I feel ya about the cold and dryness. It has been -23 with wind chill here & lots of snow. I use the Cerave Hydrating cleanser and moisturizer. It works wonders. Absolutely love it.
I use Cerave too and it really helps when my face is so dry it hurts.
I know you posted this a while ago. However, going to make a suggestion for dry skin. Depending on whether or not you have combination skin or oily skin, I use organic unrefined coconut oil as a natural moisturizer. All I can say is I have never looked back. I have used it for the better part of six years and always get comments about how young I look. I moisturize often morning sometimes afternoon and night. I wipe the excess as you do not want to clog your pores. I hope this is helpful and I'm not sure how well it works with oily skin is I have combination skin myself.
Hi Ashley - i hope you found a good remedy for your dry skin! I do love the Mary Kay Timewise Product line and love the moisterizer! Also for your runny eyes, try taking zyrtec every day! It worked for me - eye drops didn't touch my runny eyes but as soon as i started taking allergy med every day it did go away! But I'm not sure if your issue is due to allergies...mine was so bad I couldnt even wear make-up
Thank you so much - I appreciate all of your info!! ❤️🥰
When my skin is very chapped or dry, I use A & D ointment. In a day or two, it’s better. I think in your case it would work, because it’s a skin protectant (with the moisture).
I’m doing this prep tomorrow. Sunday, July 31, 2022. Thanks for sharing. Cheers.
Awesome! How has plan been going for you!? 🎉🎉
Good luck on your journey . I'm super excited to start this in April. I came across your video And the crazy thing is that we both live in Westminster Colorado. I definitely love your lean and greens I'm super excited to start this journey of the five and one 😊 thank you so much for posting this video.
Really appreciate your style... clear and concise
The inkey list hyaluronic acid hydrating serum and First aid beauty ultra repair cream!
I am on my second week. I love your channel! Thank you!
How come you don't put your container for your L&G on the scale and then measure your chicken and veggies directly in it? You can tare it out after each weigh. Your meat doesn't go bad after Day 4 in the fridge?
I came here to say tare the scale. It makes like so much easier.
Sis! Idk if you choose to do your chicken that way cause you like to but if you put the bowl on the scale then tare it, it goes to zero then you can put your chicken straight into the bowl with an accurate weight and then you can tare it again with each vegetable!
Ashley you used three 1/2 cups for your veggies. Aren’t we supposed to have 3 cups of veggies or
Is it 3 veggies and depending what the are determines how much ch we have? Love your videos.
Love your recipes.
Corn huskers lotion. Also, palmers cocunut oil.
Thank you for the idea!! I appreciate you!
Aquaphora or Amazon brand healing ointment, I saw a video that shows it can be used literally on your whole body as a winter moisturizer.
Aww girl you are so sweet thank you for sending recs my way! Things have shifted a bit since moving to TX 🙏 but it’s still a journey lolll
I just started with the progam this week. Can I freeze the green and lean meals after prep.
I am waiting for my first order to come in. I’ve enjoyed watching your videos. One question.. this protein and veggie meal looks delicious but with no seasonings....🤔. I’m not sure how much I would enjoy it. I don’t have my books /information yet so I’m not sure what’s ok as far as condiments. I know I will learn as I go but I’m not sure it would be palatable without some kind of seasoning.
Use a night cream during the day and night (I use Philosophy) with a few drops of rose oil in it. Exfoliate everyday. I use a coconut oil face mist by ELF here and there throughout the day for a refresh.
I use Cera Ve lotion. Put a couple drops of olive oil in five drops of Cera Ve. My mother in law put olive oil on her face three times a week and let it set about three to five minutes. Wipe off with face pad then applied Cera Ve lotion. It worked for us. Another lotion is ponds
Okay i’m supposed to start eating healthy tomorrow! This came just in time lol I love all the colorful veggies
Is there a reason you don’t weigh your veggies? Thank you. Love watching your videos. ❤️
How is your chicken seasoned?
Hello, Ashley first time I saw one of your video today and I liked,
I love all of your videos. I am on box #3 in which I ordered the red crunchy O's... I am eating them now as my final fueling.. Omg. To me they are amazing!! To me they taste like a mixture of Apllejax and Fruity Pebbles! 😍
I haven’t tried them yet. I don’t love the Cinnamon Crunch Os. Sickeningly sweet w aftertaste. They’re better w unsweetened Almond milk. Looking forward to seeing your cereal hack. ❤ I am on day 25. Only down 5 lbs because I have been cheating with little nibbles here and there. But I’m resolving to do better and slow and steady is good.
I have a coffee cup just like yours, I’m starting OPTAVIA as soon as I get my box
YAY! I'm so excited for you and I can't wait to keep up on your journey!! When is your box supposed to arrive!? 🎉🎉
Hi! I go through the same situation and I live in Long Island New York. It's allergies. I went to my allergist and they gave me eye drops that helped 100%. No more tender raw under eye. No more eye watering like I was crying all day. Please go and your allergist can get you right.
First Aide Beauty ultra repair cream is amazing! And Cervae eye cream
I thought you measured cooked veggies?
Your skin is absolutely beautiful even with dry areas.
I totally get you I live in Canada french side here it can go down -35 Yes. You will be ok but coconut oil can help.
Glad to know I'm not alone, Carolina! Also ... -35!? WOW! ❤️❤️❤️
I’d like to see more of what you eat
I will try the lean and green yiu showed here
I've got a lot of videos on my channel about meals and hacks and lean and greens!! Check them out! So happy you're here ❤️❤️
Did you use any condiments?
I have the same problem with my eyes watering! It is dry eye! My dad had it also, get some extreme dry eye drops, it will help.
Eye watering can be from allergies but it can also be from dry eyes causing your eyes to produce more water. Try some drops like Systane or refresh; if you wear contacts please read directions and follow carefully. You may need to see your eye doctor for a prescription level eye drops
Use Aquaphor for extreme dry skin. I use it for my cuticles.
Another great video Ashley! Is it possible you might have a little skin infection or irritation from the constant wetness from your watering eyes? Sounds very frustrating! Feel better soon😊
Takes me a long time drink my coffee also… always walk away from it. I also put very little sweetener, and actually quit using creamer. 🥰. Taste does change. 😊
The skincare line Epionce is literally the best I’ve ever used and I’ve used all of it. You should look into their intense renewal moisturizer.
Like your blogs etc.
You are definitely right with your pallet. I didn’t like the cereal either. I really enjoy them with almond milk. Delicious
Get a humidifier in your room (amazon) Vaseline night and ceraphil eczema dry skin day time if needed add vitamin e oil
Thanks for those tips!! ❤️❤️
I had that eye watering problem everyday forever until I switched to Clinique eyeshadow and Thrive Mascara
My eye does that also, my eye doc says it’s due to dry eye. I have a prescription for drops it helps.Try Mary Kay extra emollient cream on your face. It’s great for dry skin. I used to sell MK amd sold a lot for,that!
Hi I was wondering would this be considered ur lunch or dinner???
I use virgin coconut oil on my skin when I’m dry morning and evening. My skin eats it up
Same here in Ohio
Love your videos! I use cortisone ointment at night on the dryer areas of my face, and my moisturizer with it. I try not to use it every day, but during the winter; it’s the only thing that helps. Hope this helps you! ☺️
What do you put on your grilled chicken?
I have an auto immune that makes my eyes water and it’s worse when it’s dry out - my eye doctor recommended Systane drops and they are amazing! For dry skin I can’t recommend enough Osea Malibu’s Hyaluronic Sea Serum - SERIOUS hydration - total game changer! Also, bonus, it’s vegan and cruelty free as well as being responsibly sourced which I know you’ll appreciate.
does the chicken and greens last a week?
How long does the chicken last after you cook it?
Are you drinking enough water? Increased hydration may help your dry skin dilemma.
As for the dry skin. Buy a humidifier.
Hi how much have you lost and how long did it take you
Hey there - I've shed over 50lbs and counting on my health journey! I've been intently focusing on losing weight for a few years now - and still just as in love with the program as when I started! ❤️❤️
I suffer with watery eyes too, I finally went to an eye Dr. He said The tear duct was overly large, and the reason my eyes watered so much was because they were "DRY"! He went on to explain that the tears were being drained away faster than they could moisten the eye, so they overly produced tears to try to help my dry eyes. He put some medicine in the ducts, and it really helped! Maybe it can for you too.
LOVE IT 💗 THANK YOU ☺️
I'm new to the program... You mentioned a "healthy fat" in your coffee. I'm a coffee drinker. Is there hazelnut suggestion?
I'm going to start exploding waffles now for sure, thank you!!!!
LOL - Awesome! Waffling fuelings is a great way to mix up flavors, and textures - while still being on plan!
apply a bit a petroleum jelly to the area of your face. My hands are severely irritated this year and this is what is helping me.
Sadly, l have not seen the baby asparagus where i shop. Food looks great.
Aww shoot!! Maybe they'll show up throughout the summer!? 👏🏻
CeraVe moisturizer cream helps me with super dry skin on my face in the winter without making me too oily!
Oh no! My mom has the watery eye, it’s an allergy so she has allergy drops. I hope you figure it out!!
WOW -- thank you from someone who doesn't cook!
LOL - You're so welcome! ❤️ I love how everyone can find success on this program!
Completely agree with the palate changing. When I first started in January I loved the chewy chocolate chip cookie. I now think the cookie tastes like cardboard. I have almost a full box left.....
Hi! I was looking on Optavia vegetable list and the 1/2 cup vs how many ounces they allow is very different on the chart when weighed out. My coach told me to weigh out the vegetables because you are cheating yourself when using a cup instead. Thoughts ? 🤔
I thought the same, also the weight is different after you cook it.
Right? And, sorry, but I just can't imagine weighing lettuce in a measuring cup, LOL.
Looks really good!
Interesting my left eye waters more due to allergies too 😝, that’s crazy
Use chapstick it will seal in the moisture
Yours and your dad's watering eyes are from a dry eye condition. My dad had this and he almost experienced a corneal meltdown and could have become blind. I've been experiencing some of the same symptoms, since both of my parents add dry eye issues. The tears are irritating your skin when they water like you described. See your ophthalmologist and get help to treat and possibly reverse this condition.
Thank you so much!!
You could try Witch Hazel and a very good moisturizer
Does the "Pam" count as a Carb serving?
i desperately need to find thelean and green meals
Are you looking for something specific? There are ideas alllll over the internet - and my channel! I can help! :) ❤️❤️
The larger the asparagus the older they are - i ALWAYS but the "baby" asparagus. YUM YUM
You seriously need Mary Kay extra Emollient Night Cream! I take forever to drink my coffee!
Your skin looks beautiful
Baby Oil Gel in shower. Oil of Olay Whip 🤷🏻♀️
Ohhhhh - love that!!
I take a long time to drink mycoffee too.
...glad I'm not alone! lol ❤️ I love to savor every sip, I guess!
I need a better way to make the Mac and cheese fuelings ... help 😩😩😩
Does anyone tell you you look like Mandy Moore? Thank you I am going to try all your awesome recipes
Dry eye, had the same think for years . Go to the eye dr . They will possibly give you drops. I wore goggles even it was so dry and painful .
I feel your pain!! Well… not anymore 😂. I went to the eye doctor in Texas, he probably gave me the same thing you got. Much better now!
I use Trader Joe’s lotion it helps mine
Ohhh - thank you for the tip! Love me some Trader Joes! ❤️🎉
Use aquaphor. All over face overnight will make a big difference.
Anybody on Optavia notice slowed loss with bars (unlimited) I was told all meals were equal but, the loss is non-existent...
