guess what as you guys probably noticed
when you came to my video today
[Music]
good morning and welcome to Thursday so
today has become much different than
yesterday yeah we have started out on a
fresh note I've got my shower in I've
been very productive I've gotten things
done so much different than yesterday
I am on my way out the door actually
here in a few seconds I'm gonna head to
the doctor's so I can go and get my
bloodwork done and hopefully today they
don't send me away because I have been
drinking lots and lots and lots and I've
actually had two days to do it since I
didn't go yesterday so on that note yeah
we're gonna see what they do today for
me like she said if they can't get in my
arms then they'll just go to my hands
which because it really hurts
that's the uh-huh no no no that's Mama's
sewing box so anyways I'm gonna I don't
know if the kids are gonna go or not Ali
said that he might go and just take them
for a little Drive in the country so I
don't know if they're gonna go or not
but I will check in with you guys in a
little bit and let you know what we do
and her I am so frustrated with myself
right now and I don't know what to do so
I decided to go ahead and get on the
scale today I know it's a little bit
early but I was like you know what I
think I'm just gonna do it and just see
because you know I haven't checked in
Ferger well I don't checked in since
Saturday so I was like well I kind of
just want to see where I'm at I haven't
been like I don't feel like I've been
eating off of like route like I don't
feel like I'm off track at all I know
that my exercising has been low which
I'm trying to pick that back up as you
guys seen oh and look I found my one of
my fake rings and I've worn it before
when my ring was too small for me my
wedding ring
and then when my wedding ring fit I was
like woah okay it works it fits well I
put this one away well now this one's
fitting me again because my wedding ring
is too
big so good times anyways so this one is
in between and this one's it's a little
bit loose but it's okay like if it falls
off it falls off because it's fake so
anyways back to what I was trying to say
is I'm just frustrated because it's like
I don't feel like I've been off track
with my eating I don't feel like I have
been doing anything that would be
causing any weight gain but I got on the
scale today you guys had him for 32 like
that's a big jump I'm just frustrated
because I was for 28 and now I'm back to
for 26 for 26 for 32 so I'm just hoping
that like my body for some reasons just
holding on to something and it doesn't
need to be holding on to you got
chocolate milk moustache go wash your
face and let me do your hair anyways but
yeah I just want to check in with you
guys and share with you my little a
little frustration because that's what I
do I don't know if I just need to like I
know that sometimes people say when
you're like kind of like in one of those
plateaus where you kind of go up and you
come down you go up and you come down
they do something to like start it back
up hey that's not okay stop they do
something to like re kick-start
themselves
do you guys know like any of you guys
have any any suggestions I'm trying to
get the word cuz I'm just like well yeah
any suggestions on like what to maybe do
to like kind of kickstart back up again
because I don't know what I'm doing
wrong like I haven't changed anything I
haven't been like been gene I haven't
been Benji and like eating tons of like
sweets or anything like that like honest
to god I'm just like stumped the only
thing that I will say that I haven't
stuck on and I hope this could be it is
I've been eating
I don't know where it's out right now
but I've been eating loose granola at
nighttime and I get it from Walmart from
Costco and it's like an organic
granola and it has like raisins in it
almonds and it's like broken up and so
at night time
I've been eating that like if I have
like a sweet tooth I've been eating that
which has been a lot of nights so I'm
wondering yeah honey yeah that's a Magic
School Bus
anyways I don't know if maybe that could
be contributing to me keeping weight on
and gaining more because I've been
snacking at nighttime more than I should
be like so anyways I just want to check
in and let you guys know that I did step
on a scale and is saying that I'm up but
we'll find out and I waiting for Olly to
come out of the room and then I guess
we're all gonna go because he wants to
go and get out of the house for a little
bit so we're all just gonna go and then
head to my doctor's thing the kid that I
will keep the kids out cuz I am in want
my kids to pick up any germs that they
don't need I do not take them unless
they or have a natural appointment I
will not take them in to the doctor's so
anyways but I will go in and go get my
blood work and then I think there was a
few things that we needed to do I
definitely need to go to my Walmart
today so anyway I will search with you
guys again
and let you guys know what's going on
hope you guys are having a wonderful day
it's really nasty and windy here I don't
know about the rain I heard that the
rain was supposed to be coming in but I
haven't seen any yet but definitely the
wind husband picking up and I'm wearing
my pants I'm gonna show you guys these
okay you guys so I am sitting here
[Music]
getting my veins warmed up we'll see if
this works this time because otherwise I
don't know what they're gonna do I
wasn't gonna take blood for my nose
anyways um but yeah I'm just sitting
here in an empty Lobby waiting to be
called back
and keep me warm with this thing this
thing is so long my kids would love this
thing
anyways um closeness but I just want to
check in with you guys and say that I
hope they think in my blood because and
I really hope they hurry because only
said that as I woke up in a bad mood so
I told him go get them a treat or
something just to prolong it until I get
out
but anyways yes I want to show you the
little technique that they're using
we'll see if this works this time as you
guys probably noticed when you came to
my video today your seam and add yes you
guys I got the email yesterday that I
was monetized I didn't even know it I
was like ah oh he came in and he was
like babe I was like yeah he goes do you
know if you were Montes or not I'm like
I don't know I was like I have no idea
I've been busy working I don't know and
he said oh he goes well I went to one of
your videos and I noticed that it had
like an ad on it and I'm like really
which is really weird cuz I was just on
there like 30 minutes prior to that and
so I went on there and I chatted sure
enough there's an ad I'm like wow like
really haha yes you guys I'm so excited
oh my god you have no idea this is like
this is such a dream come true and you
know it's not about Oh making the money
and all this other stuff it's solely
like a validate like a validation of
mine that my channel is going in the
direction I want it to and I'm just like
you guys are amazing
I just oh my gosh I could not be doing
this without you
guys and you guys are the reason that I
do it so in return it's like oh my gosh
like oh so excited like to see that it's
just like oh I just like I wanted to
like I was trembling I was like wanting
to cry I was like oh my gosh ah so yes
you guys I am menthe eyes so that means
you guys will be seen ads I'm sorry I
didn't even know like I said I didn't
even know that they need to even put one
up I wouldn't have known unless all he
told me until I went on to my channel to
like cuz periodically I'll go on just to
like skim through comments and stuff and
I won't respawn back right away because
I'll I wait and do that all at the same
time but sometimes I'll go on there and
just see you know what everybody's kind
of up to if I have a chance or sometimes
we'll go back and even just listen to my
video because you know sometimes you
learn things that you didn't realize you
even said at one time so sometimes I'll
go back and just listen to the video and
even though I edit it I don't really pay
it like close on attention to everything
like I'm just editing like fun things
you know like or if I yawn a big yawn I
think I've accidentally left a few when
there is sometimes when I'm young I mean
a big yawn I try and edit those things
out but I think sometimes they slip
through but anyways so yeah I was just I
went on there today and I was just like
blown away when he told me that I was
just um I God like I you know I think
back just five almost six months ago I
you know I knew what my passions were
and I knew what I loved to do but I
never thought that I would actually get
to that point where my channel would be
at a position where YouTube recognizes
it and recognizes it as a business and
you know and and I don't I don't really
particularly want to say that I look at
my channel as a business because even
even though you know you do
make revenue or whatever I don't even
understand all that to be honest with
you I've tried to study on it and it's
well above here with me so I'm just like
I was gonna do my video if I get a check
cool if I don't well okay I'm still
gonna do the same thing as I did before
nothing's changing but I think the
validation part comes when you know that
YouTube is visiting like seeing you as a
partner with them and that makes me feel
so good just like wow my journey that I
have taken myself on has not only
started journeys for others but also now
YouTube is recognizing it as this is
something that they don't mind you know
supporting along with me and that just
makes so much sense that what I have
been doing and where I was five and a
half six months ago I never imagined I'd
be here and always like Amy you know the
funny thing great thanks for killing the
moment child
I mean it's he was just like Amy you
know when you said you wanted to start
this and I told you I would be behind
you no matter what that I would be there
to support you I knew that you would get
to this point
I knew it because I know that you are
driven when you want something you do it
and that's the thing that I love about
you know it's like oh thank you sweetie
and he's like why do you think that I
have stood behind you and supported you
on everything you've chosen he's like
you don't take something and just run
with it and don't fulfill it he's like
you know you wanted to do the vinylene
business look where you're at today like
we're getting orders left and right and
this amazing you know my channel is
growing and it's becoming such an
amazing blossom thing in my life and it
touches everybody's lives and that's
just you know what he was seeing is that
he realizes that what I put myself out
to do I no matter what will not allow
myself to fail because I get to commit
it because I believe in things and
that's where I run with my channel is I
believe this channel is here for a
reason I don't think that this was a
mistake that I started six months ago
vlogging my journey I don't think it was
a mistake I don't see it as a mistake
and so yeah when I seen that
monetization kind of well I then so
after he told me that I went on I seen
the the whatever it's called ad
commercial I don't know what's called um
I jumped straight to my email and there
was congratulations I was like oh my god
so yeah I'm just and I have to say thank
you thank you thank you thank you to
everyone of you guys all of your views
your thumbs up your comments your
sharing of my videos that's what makes
this channel so amazing is it because of
you guys have made me successful in the
validation that I fell when I look and
think about my channel the first thing I
think about when I think of Amy's life
journey I first think of my journey
because that's where I started and the
second thought comes straight to you
guys and my amazing you know messages I
receive from you and all of those things
that come along with this channel that's
all I think about I I don't even really
think about anything negative or you
know ensure of course I get negative
comments here and there and you know I I
will never respond back in a harsh way
to anybody I don't care if it's the
rudest common ever because you know what
that shows that that person might really
be hurting and need that extra
compassion and I would rather be that
compassion if I can be rather than try
and be harsh back and so yeah so in you
know if you guys read comments you're
like oh I was a really rude coming or
you know whatever always remember that I
don't look at it in a negative way I
always take it and try and flip it to
that positive because that's how I live
my life I I just I think before I start
my journey I was very negative I was a
very negative person I was in a very
negative space in my life that I took
everything personal
everything was bad about me everything
was about me you know everything it
nobody even had to say my name someone
could just be like sharing a story about
their life in there I will be like
somehow flip it in my brain this is all
about me talking about me and I know the
people come on now but that's how I am
was that's how I was let me rephrase
that
I was very negative I was the negative
Betty in the room and now I just I can't
be that person
I always even when you know Olli is
having a rough afternoon or you know I
see him driving he's like I'll be like
baby like why are you gonna be all
Faison and I switch it around and I make
him smile because I that's me I call it
as it is I'm a bubbly person I don't
like negativity so wherever it is I just
try to flip it as fast as I can so that
way then even it doesn't affect me but
it doesn't affect the next person
reading it because I don't want
somebody's a negative comment to
interfere or affect another person's
eyes so yo or shit I was so excited when
I seen this today you guys oh my gosh
like I was excited now on to the next
stop or in the next subject yes I got my
blood work done oh I got stuck there
I got stuck somewhere I remember now I
did get stuck up here I got stuck here
so I got stuck only three times today
and my phlebotomist she's like I think
now a little bit bigger but she's like
nobody's allowed to touch my vein that's
my vein because she can always go to the
same vein every single time and poom
gets the blood but she couldn't
yesterday on Tuesday because it was
blown by the other foot bottom is so she
couldn't go back to that one that day
and that's why she was trying every
other vein but and she really don't want
to go to that one today because she was
like I
no it's gonna hurt but we're gonna try
and I'm like it's okay and surely she
did it and she got it I was like did you
get it she goes no I've just been
standing here talking to you for no no
reason I'm like you turd um so anyways
yes I got my blood work done so
hopefully I will get I don't know if
I'll get the ring oh I mean I'll get the
portal results which I don't know what
they all say and what all their regular
like the charts are and stuff I don't
know any of that's how they send it to
you so it's like yeah okay this means
nothing to my eyeballs but I have my
appointment on the 30th so then is when
he will go over like all my blood work
and I don't and good stuff
so we will hear what those results were
and then let's see I got my call form a
reminder appointment on Monday which you
know I'm really surprised man even think
about it Monday is a holiday like a
major holiday and my post office is open
on Monday um what else is open well my
doctor's office is uh well the
orthopedic office I don't know if the
doctor though I'm assuming so so I have
my appointment on Monday Jeremiah does
not have school on Monday that was what
it was cuz I was like well school's out
usually when school's out Binks and
everything else are closed but and now
guess maybe there were things that
changed what else I am excited to
announce that I have contracted with two
fellow youtubers um and I am so excited
to help them launch their merchandise
for their YouTube channels and one of
them I can say tonight because she
already spoke to her channel about it
the other one I'm gonna wait just
because I want to make sure that she has
the chance to announce her merchandise
and all of that fun stuff but the one
that I can mention tonight is gin the
life with gin life by Jen I she's got
B's
confused yes life by gin or gin um she
actually contracted with me to do
merchandise for her channel I am so
excited like this is like the thing that
drives me is these are drinks that I've
always had to be able to not only make
merchandise for companies but be able to
create their logos and all that stuff so
I'm so excited to help her with her
Channel and her merchandise so you guys
are gonna see videos popping through
that are actually for both of the
youtubers that I will be linked because
they're gonna take that link and link it
into their channel so that their
subscribers can contact me for their
merchandise and stuff so you guys will
be seen their merchandise popping
through my channel and hey that's great
I'm absolutely excited because it's my
work but yeah so I'm very very very very
excited to announce that I am contracted
with two of them I have another
potential that might be linking with me
there's just still some more
conversation trying to figure out if
it's work I mean like if it's worth it
just yet or she wants to wait a little
bit longer so we'll wait and see about
that one but for sure I've got to it's
been a long waiting I have been working
really hard on it for about a week and a
half and I'm so so so excited to turn
over the videos to them so they can
launch their line of merchandise and
what else I am trying to think there's
just been so much amazing things going
on I just I think because I was really
much of today I mean it wasn't like a
very busy busy day just because it's
really nasty and rainy outside so I once
we came home from the doctor's I didn't
go back out I just like and then I came
home and just been working on the
youtubers merchandise line and stuff
because I really want to be able to
the one channel that I'm not mentioning
let her launch her line tomorrow so I've
got that well I don't know what she'll
launch it tomorrow just because she
she'll probably want to make a video
about it so I'm not sure still launch it
tomorrow I don't know when she's gonna
launch it but when she launches it it
will be when I post the video so she can
link it so anyways I'm so excited you
guys it has been just it's been such an
amazing day today and this is just
exactly where I want to see my life
going and I just couldn't be happier I
am just I'm so at peace right now and
you know today was really struggling
with the whole losing wave and kind of
in a plateau right now and just kind of
going up a few pounds going down a few
pounds but I just haven't kicked that
rock of going over but going under the
28 pound mark 428 426 sorry I think
that's my lowest and so I was talking to
my phlebotomist today and you know she
really pointed out some things that you
know she said well you know one of the
things you've got to like change
something up so your body's tricked
because right now your body is in you
know it's in repetition it's been doing
the same thing for quite a few months
and now it's time does switch something
up a little bit and throw a little rock
underneath so it kind of bubbles it and
then it will start making you go back
down again and I was like good idea like
I never even thought about Plateau mean
and how to get over that plateau was oh
um I think what I'm gonna do is just
really concentrate more on just being
very more uh being very mindful of
writing my calories down 100% and I
think I'm gonna go back I had mentioned
this before and I kind of I think I just
slacked because you know even though I
have my phone in my hand 24/7 um it's
just that stopping everything I'm doing
and going straight into my fitness pal
and logging it and being able to
be accountable to those calories I don't
know why I lag off on that but I think
I'm just gonna have to bolt myself down
and really focus in on that focus on the
calorie counts I'm still staying at 1600
calories I'm not going under than that
under that at this point really bounce
up my flue in my water because I know
that like I've said the last few well
probably the last week is been really
with the water intake so I really need
to bump up the fluids and then just
exercising every single day and you know
like only said Amy even if it's sit down
exercising at least you're getting your
blood pumping at least for at least 30
minutes move every part of your body to
the best of your ability every single
day and you're gonna see you're gonna
see your body start moving again in the
way that you want it to because it's not
gonna be able to stay at the same size
if you're working out the amount of
calories coming in so it made a lot of
sense and I you know I love the fact I
have so much support from you guys from
my health directors and my husband you
know and just it's so amazing that I
could come to you all and be so
transparent be so honest and say hey you
know what this is where I think I am
falling short you know this is where I
think I might be struggling and you know
I I really really really really want to
hit that 100 mark by the end of the
month and the only way I'm gonna be able
to do that is if i buckle down and do
what I know needs to be done so I told
Holly I said I think just starting
tomorrow making sure I have my you know
my fitness files already linked into my
phone but make it somewhere where I go
all the time you know and if you know
something I've got to figure out
something just to get back into the
routine of logging everything that goes
in and everything goes out also I know
another big thing that I have got to
stop is the snacking at night before bed
like that's just got to stop and I know
it I know I know I know I know that is
the worst habit that I ever could have
start
and the thing is is that I was not a
snack eater before bed before but my
wonderful husband whom I loved so much
used to be a snacker before bed he
always had to have his little treat well
when I before I even started my journey
I started that too with him and we would
do it together every night and it was
just like it wasn't a thing that we
thought about it wasn't you know him oh
let me get her plumped up or anything
like that like well hey that's not the
gaze but you know it just was something
that we did together was had that that
night's not when the kids were in bed we
didn't have to have you know we didn't
have to share we didn't have to have
fingers in it we just got to sit and
enjoy our snack together and now he
doesn't do that but yeah I still do it
now my snacks have changed tremendously
now it's like my 100-count popcorn my
100 count I wonder a calorie count
popcorn fruit or some veggies I mean
those are the things that I snuck on but
it's the sense that I am that's a habit
and I don't want to do things than have
it form if I want to have a snack in the
evening I want to be able to have it
because I would like to have it but not
because I have to have it and right now
it's because I have to have it because
it's like every night I sit on my chair
I'm like okay it's gonna be sad it's
gonna be sick time I could have just
eaten 20 minutes ago but it's gonna be
15 no no it just doesn't cut it it just
it really gots to stop so that's the
other thing that I have to start working
on and I'm gonna be very very very um
accountable to you guys and I'm gonna
I'm gonna hold myself accountable to you
guys that I'm not going to be snacking
at night like it's just not gonna happen
and I'm gonna be doing my fitness pal so
that I know what I'm doing and see where
maybe I'm going over or where maybe I
can make an adjustment with my eating
you know I say that I think I'm doing
really well but that doesn't mean
anything if I don't see it then it goes
unnoticed sometimes because there's
times where you're busy and you just
grab and start eating you don't even
think about it and by the time you're
done
still haven't thought about it so by the
end of the day you're like oh my god I
haven't like I found myself do that oh
my gosh no wonder I'm so hungry I
haven't even eaten anything today and
then almost all don't like well had a
breakfast sandwich well I had a turkey
sandwich why are you hungry Amy mentally
so I mean it's just I really have to
break the the repetitious cycle that I'm
used to of grabbing and eating and you
know comfort eating and you know being
able to eat and in quiet and all those
things so yep there's gonna be some
major changes going on tomorrow well
actually I kind of started today because
I really did not do anything naughty
today and I'm not gonna do anything
naughty tonight so therefore I started
already
but anyways again I thank you guys for
following me around today and watching
me get to my blood work well I didn't
actually vlog getting my blood work
because I kind of forgot my phone in my
purse and I set my personal here across
the room and I was not about to try and
move when she had my hands all wrapped
up and tied up and you know so yeah I
didn't get to vlog today with my blood
work but you guys got to see my blue
hand sitting on top of mine and um but
anyways I will check in with you guys
tomorrow I'm gonna go get my kids ready
for bed because mama is tired and I've
got a vacuum this floor because it looks

sitting here in front of my face it's I
don't like this kind of popcorn but look
