21 Day Fix - Day 2 Recap

I have one word to describe today: SORE!!! Wowzers! I am so sore. Yesterday I felt great after the workout, but toward the end of the day I started to feel a little sore. I woke up this morning to get up for my workout and I could hardly move. Fortunately, there was a nice little warm up that got me through today's workout, but I'm a bit worried about tomorrow.

Today was upper arm fix. I had to use a set of light weights and a set of heavy weights and I couldn't decide which size to use. I have 2lb, 5lb, and 8lb weights. I decided to go with the 2lb and 5lb as my light and heavy, but now I think I should have gone 5lb and 8lb. I'll do that next week when I do the upper fix again and see how it goes.  I only had to modify one exercise, which involved the abs. My abs were on FIRE!!

Eating was so-so today. I didn't have any temptations, but today I felt hungry all day long! I think my body is just adjusting to the working out and new eating routine, but it was kind of hard to get through it today. I also had to run my daughter to ballet today, so I grabbed an apple to-go to eat my second purple container (fruit).

OH, and how could I forget?! I already lost 1 pound and I haven't felt bloated or stuffed at all in the past 48 hours. It's amazing how much nutrition impacts weight loss! Tomorrow is lower fix. I'm really nervous about that because my legs are still in pain, but I will get through it and I will feel better for doing it!

21 Day Fix - Day 1 Recap

Today was the first official day of my challenge group for the 21 Day Fix. I woke up at 7:00am, which is crazy early for me. Anyone who knows me personally, knows that mornings aren't my thing, but I'm committed and I want to succeed, so I woke up early! The workout was awesome. It went by so fast! It was only 30 minutes and that included the cool down. I was pretty exhausted after the workout, but I'm pretty sure that's the point. ;)

As for the food, meal prep was pretty easy. I somehow managed to "break" my Vitamix. Who does that?? Seriously! Fortunately, it wasn't really broken, it was just overheated. (Note to self: learn to use a blender correctly) I got through all of my meals and snacks well today with only one temptation after dinner. I managed to down some iced tea (unsweetend) and moved on. Chocolate temptation #1 out of the way!

Here's a picture of lunch. Monday is our grocery store day, so I didn't have the foods around that I planned for the rest of the week, which meant I needed to find stuff around the house to fit my meal plan. I used eggs, cheese, and broccoli. I'm not very good at "plating," so excuse the poor presentation, but you get the point. This meal took care of 1 Red container, 1 Blue container, and 1 Green container.

Day 2 is going to be the upper fix. I'm really nervous for that, as arms are not really my thing!

Looking forward to Day 2!
