21 Day Fix Day 2

Yesterday was Day 2 of the 21 day fix. My legs are definitely feeling the workout from yesterday! Sitting down and bending over is a struggle. For breakfast yesterday I had scrambled eggs with hot sauce. It was so good! I could eat that every morning and not get bored with it. I also had my cup of coffe and some pickles with it. Lunch was Cafe Latte Shakeology, yummy! My afternoon snack was string cheese. For supper I baked chicken and topped it with all purpose seasoning. The recipie for the seasoning is in the 21 Day Fix book that comes with the challenge pack, and it taste wonderful. I put my chicken on a bed of brown rice with a side of green beans. I put the same seasoning on my green beans which made them so good! My evening snack was some organic fruit gummies. I don't think they're 21 Day Fix approved, but it was almost bed time and I was hungry so it was something satisfying and quick.  

Yesterday's workout focused on the upper body. Now, it still worked everything else but it was mainly shoulder and arms type workouts along with some ab work. It was great to give my legs a little break since they were so sore from the day before. 

Even though I am only 2 days in, I am absolutely loving this program! I can already tell I am going to see great results! 

Love my Shakeology! 

21 Day Fix Day 1

Ok, so I successfully completed day 1 of my 21 day fix. For breakfast I made a spinach and mushroom omelet, which I hated by the way. I would much rather just eat my egg with a small salad on the side. I'm weird about certain food mixing and the spinach with my eggs was just gross to me, but I ate it anyway. Don't want to waste it right? For a snack I had one thing of string cheese. Lunch was skipped (not recommended) only because I took a pretty long nap. By the time I woke up from my nap it was to late for lunch because it would have interfered with my appetite for supper. Instead I made a Shakeology shake and OH MY GOODNESS it was so yummy! I've never had it before and it did not disappoint. Cafe Latte flavor is my favorite so far! Supper was not a completely wonderful meal. We ate at Cracker Barrel for my Pawpaw's birthday. I ordered vegetables, which sounds good until I ordered the dumplings as one of my vegetables. Oops!! 

The workout today was a full body cardio. Let me be really honest, I was needed water after the warmup. I am so out of shape!! The workout was great though. It only last for 30 minutes, so it went by pretty fast. There is also one person in the group on the workout that is the modifier, so if the workout gets to difficult you can just follow that person. I noticed I was getting way too tired too fast, so I stuck with that modifier. It was still a great workout! I'm definitely sore from it!

New Beginnings

Well, well, well. I am actually writing a blog post! It has seriously been to long! 

Have you ever wanted to make a change for the better, but wasn't sure how or where to start? 

Wanted to start a healthy lifestyle, but became to overwhelmed and quit before you even got started?

Well, me too!! Tomorrow I am completely stepping out of my comfort zone and starting something new. I start my 21 Day fix tomorrow! 21 Day fix is a Beachbody program that includes an at home workout, food guide, portion control containers, and wonderful coaches to help and support you along the way. An optional part of the program is the Shakeology, which is these awesome shakes that you can drink as a snack or as a meal. I hear they taste wonderful! I went ahead and ordered those to go along with my program.

Joining a group like this is something I would have never done before, but I decided instead of complaining about my clothes being to tight that I would actually do something about it! When you join you also get added to a group on Facebook with other people doing the same workout program as you. How awesome is that?!? I love that it is somewhere I have that will hold me accountable. That will keep me motivated because I do not want to have to admit to the group that I skipped my workout or whatever the case may be.

I am telling you all this to also say that I will be posting about it on here. I think writing blog posts about it each day will also hold me accountable with not only my workouts, but also with my meals. 

Wish me luck! It starts tomorrow! I'll let you know how day 1 goes!
