Katy! I mean this in the kindest way possible, but your trainer is not fixing your squat form. I would ask about it during your next session to really work on it. Don’t want you to injure your back as you build on weight!! Great vlog otherwise.

[@analazic3205]

Yes! I am so glad someone said it. 😭

[@Littlebluedynamite1]

I was thinking the same thing when I watched it but I’m not a trained professional so I didn’t mention it

[@HelloKatyxo]

Thanks for the note! I'll talk with her about it this week :)

[@docp4449]

As someone who ended up in the hospital with a spine injury because of poor squatting form and now can never do squats ever again…I fully support this comment 🙈

[@PreeyaSharma]

As a competitive power lifter your form looks great! You just need to work on your ROM (range of motion) which will come over time :)

[@ElleNoel23]

I’m sure your trainer is lovely, but I feel like all of the workouts we see are the same with limited weight increase. This is especially an issue since you mention wanting to gain muscle. Also, your trainer should be constructively fixing your form so you don’t hurt yourself. For as long as you’ve been working with her, I just would expect more progress. And I don’t mean that to be hurtful, just an observation. It might be worth it to try out a new gym or a new trainer. I’m sure she isn’t cheap.

[@Everdinaaa]

I get you but also she might be new to squatting and starting out slow, and that last exercise might have just been a burn out set?

[@ozatanvi]

Katy, your videos radiate genuine vibes and your feminine-chic style is a mood! Thanks for the relatable moments & good vibes. Keep shining! 😊🌟

[@LeslieHouser-nh1ro]

The side part and makeup for date night .......GORGEOUS!!! Really made your eyes pop😉

[@BalancedLightYoga]

thank you for sharing your internal dialogue with us over your date night outfit. I feel like that’s so real! I get so upset over things and I love how you said “bring myself back down to earth” haha love it. 19:44

[@lauracaminos1]

YESSSS the bookshelf on the other side makes so much sense, the rooom is so much better now! i loveeeee

[@xokelseyxo9238]

Happy New Year, Katy! Wishing you a beautiful year ahead!!! I know it'll be nothing but absolutely amazing for you. I am so happy that you and Jack have crossed paths. ❤ I am in a season of life of wanting to cook more. What recipes do you recommend starting off with?

[@EmilyCallahan5]

Ahh!! My boyfriend and I have been roasting chickpeas recently in the oven(400 for like 20-25 minish) with cumin, smoked paprika, garlic, salt and pepper and then we have them in pita wraps with tomato, cucumber, feta and tzatziki and it’s SO yum!!!

[@HelloKatyxo]

OMG YUM

[@shiannejoy512]

I decided to stop drinking for a bit in June and now I am going on 7 months! Not drinking is difficult at first, but it is so empowering!

[@squigglz97]

I just came up on 1 year! It was somewhat unintentional (I was super sick with mono so obviously couldn't drink for a while) but I'm glad I've stuck with not drinking :)

[@allesae]

always love your content and energy ❤ you are so bright

[@karinab4394]

Love all your dresses, you have such good taste in clothes! Love seeing you so happy! 😻

[@Emily_Meade]

Air fryer chickpeas are my go-to! Strain and then mix w/ olive oil and seasoning (I use either green goddess or chili lime Trader Joe's seasoning), air fry at 375 for like 7/8 mins, SO GOOD and crunchy!! 🥰

[@ellynrebecca621]

When I visited Florida from the UK in 2012, I bought a Vera Bradley bag to use for sixth form college (junior and senior Year in American high school) and I still use it today as my work bag! It’s a bit tatty in places but has lasted so well!

[@ubib.1710]

love your vids lately, keep it up gorgeous!! xoxo

[@rogue1211]

For the chickpeas, I love adding them when I make a chili. So add everything you normally do including your beans of choice but also add chickpeas. Its delish

[@runitwithrobin7594]

Love how your apt looks! Book shelf looks good on the other side too😊

[@McKenzieMarq]

One of my favorite ways to eat chickpeas is in a Mediterranean salad! There’s lots of iterations, but what I normally do: - chickpeas - cherry tomatoes - cucumbers - kalmata olives - red onion - bell pepper - feta cheese Chop everything up and throw it in a bowl with some red wine vinegar, olive oil, salt, pepper, and whatever other seasonings you want and that’s it! Super simple and you can keep it in the fridge for several days. Perfect for lunch at home. You could also add pearled couscous or quinoa to make it a little heartier

[@cherluna6205]

Yes I’ve tried this and it’s super delicious 😋

[@lizvolpe9701]

I commented before but not sure the link worked. Slow cooker Coconut chickpea curry- 2 cans of chickpeas (15oz each), drained and rinsed 1 small onion, chopped (about one cup) 2 large cloves of garlic, minced 14.5oz can of tomato sauce (about 1 3/4 cup) 6oz can of tomato paste 13.5oz can of coconut milk 2 cups of frozen peas 3 tablespoons honey 2 tablespoons curry powder 1 teaspoon salt 1 teaspoon crushed red pepper Put ingredients in slow cooker- low for 8 hours or until onions are soft (4 servings)

[@TheMakeupwithmarina]

My fav way to incorporate chickpeas is roasting them and adding to any salad!! They get crispy and delicious

[@cassiecumberland]

Thank you for the bowl recommendation!!! Ordered! I was looking for the perfect bowls at the right price point

[@HelloKatyxo]

They're soooo good!!

[@zoecarpenter298]

Been watching since the Vera Bradley era! Love your vlogs at the moment Katy (& the pod)

[@HelloKatyxo]

Awww!!!!! thanks for being here!

[@mm7827]

I’m picturing pasta rings… like, rings made out of macaroni. I’m very intrigued and excited for you!

[@feliciabradley3259]

Recipe w/Chickpeas!! Chopped salad: Cucumber Cherry tomatoes Red onion Chickpeas Kalamata olives Feta crumbles Olive oil & Red wine vinegar Salt & pepper store in the fridge for the week and it’s a great low carb lunch meal:) Add shredded chicken for extra protein! I just eyeball all the ingredients

[@sarahy2019]

KATY-- your date night look 👀 GORGEOUS. OBSESSED

[@brookereed2985]

Hi! I’ve looked everywhere but can you link the gold ring you’re wearing in the opening intro? Gold circle?

[@mariahlopez403]

Pop the chickpeas in the air fryer for like 8 minutes with your fav seasonings. I see salt, pepper, and the TJs mushroom seasoning. Then sauté mushroom zucchini and onion in soy sauce. And a bag of Trader Joe’s frozen brown rice. So easy! (This was the first meal I made my now husband and he LOVED it. Lol)

[@loomonda18]

I always include chickpeas in my big bowl batch of quinoa salad!!!

[@mascotseagle]

I’ve been really into a chickpea salad (think tuna salad but with chickpeas instead of tuna). I use greek yogurt, chickpeas (shredded w a fork), pickles, pickle juice (thins it out), celery. I eat that with some bread and lettuce to make a chickpea salad sandwich!

[@squigglz97]

Chickpea salad sandwiches might be my favorite food haha! I also love Simple Veganista's vegan "chicken" salad for a cranberry walnut chickpea salad sort of vibe :)

[@SimplyBritt2]

You should try lentil chickpea soups or a homemade chili in the crockpot!

[@docp4449]

“There never used to be this many words” 🤣 I feel like it’s true though

[@KennedyLeonard]

I put chickpeas in my salads a lot to make them more filling since I don’t typically like to put meat in my salad

[@nab8326]

I don't drink. Yet I always have a nice time with all my friends despite them drinking and me no❤

[@de1738]

❤

[@JRenee795]

You should try the Jennifer Aniston quinoa salad. It has chick peas in it & it is so delicious!

[@MyMomentswithMom]

Katy, your hair looked so cute for date night. Also, your hair is so shiny.....what is your secret? What a cute place Tiny's is. Love Jack's face looking at the instructions....lol. Hey, just a tip.....might sound like a silly one, but if you cut the paper tags off your hair stylers, the cords wrap much easier, and make them less cumbersome. Just a little tip. Sending hugs from So Cal 🤗🤗

[@sarahgeeox]

Where are your silver earrings from that you wore with the skims dress? 😍

[@HelloKatyxo]

Omg my faves. Anthropologie! They're actually gold!

[@sleepy_pandas]

Homemade hummus!

[@RebeccaABeaudoin]

Weight lifting is the superior fitness method. THE best

[@jenniferthirteen]

Try a chickpea curry recipe!

[@HelloKatyxo]

YUM!

[@dianebaker5243]

Delicious 😋

[@laco-nine5918]

What about a basket w blankets to camouflage the cords in the corner

[@HelloKatyxo]

I love this idea!

[@reetaskeeter2100]

You can make homemade hummus from chickpeas

[@monicamcgahan]

What’s the sense in not drinking in January if people will go back to drinking regularly after Jan is over

[@LynnseeyDoee]

Taking breaks is important with anything don’t judge people for that

[@ilovelushxo]

Try a chickpea curry! I’m pretty sure rainbow plant life here on KZbin has a good recipe

[@HeyitsDeirdre]

nice vlog

[@dianebaker5243]

You look beautiful in your black dress.👍

[@andreavictoriareza3588]

Katy I would recommend trying to workout with a new trainer

[@jananikrishnan6226]

Hair length is perf

[@amberana]

Agree! This length looks great on her.

[@andrasruppert410]

Katy! This video is really super. You have a beautyfull hair,but please cut your hair a littlebit shorter.the chin lenght bob is very cool hairstyle for you so please cut it.😊
