Another 21 Day Fix Day

Another thing I am loving about this program is it's bringing me out of my comfort zone with food!  I have never wanted to eat asparagus.  Tried it once and wasn't a fan.  Always heard it was so good for me though.  Well today I found a way to enjoy it!

Breakfast: 2 eggs (runny in the middle) equals 1 red

                5 asparagus spears equals 1/2 green

                1 slice whole wheat toast equals 1 yellow

                1/2 pink grapefruit equals 1 purple

I let the runny yolk go all over the asparagus and I really liked it!

Snack: cheese stick and pineapple equals 1 blue and 1 purple

Snack: peanuts and whole wheat crackers with PB equals 1 orange, 1/2 yellow and 2 tsp

Late Lunch:  Strawberry Shakeology with almond extract equals 1 red

Snack:  turkey slices equals 1 red

Late Dinner: pasta with spaghetti sauce and lentils, salad, and green beans equals 1 yellow, 1/2 red, 2 green

I did go over by 1/2 yellow but it's ok.  My meals where all messed up today since I had a late lunch and late dinner.

Brazil Butt Lift workout is getting ready to happen in about 20 minutes!

Life Happens

I love that with changing your eating habits rather than following a diet you know it's ok if you slip up.  I have followed the low carb diet several times over my many years of trying to lose weight. Did I lose weight?  Yes I did.  But I also could blow the whole diet if I ate one bad meal.  :(. That would turn into a major downfall for me, as I would keep eating carbs because I was depressed I ruined my diet.

Now I eat clean, or as clean as possible I should say.  I'm playing with the 21 Day Fix containers and learning the right amounts of the right foods to eat.  I did great for several days this week.  I also had some days where I didn't do so great. I didn't beat myself up over it.  I just know that tomorrow is a new day and I can choose to either eat good or eat bad.  I am choosing to eat good.  I have a swimsuit that I want to wear this summer.  

I think one of the biggest eating mistakes people can make when they want to lose weight is to restrict themselves of certain foods.  I craved pasta like crazy while I was doing low carb.  So I learned that I can still eat pasta and be healthy as long as I eat the right portion.  Gone are the days of filling my plate with pasta like I'm at an Italian Restaurant.  I use my handy dandy 21 Day Fix container and put my pasta on my plate.  I enjoy my favorite food and I don't feel deprived!  

Enjoy your favorite foods too!  Just do so in moderation!

Day 4 on 21 Day Fix

Some days don't go as planned.  :(

I started the day off great and had plans in place for everything......

Breakfast:  Oatmeal and grapefruit 1 yellow and 1 purple

Snack:  cheese stick 1 blue

Lunch:  in the car strawberry Shakeology with 4 oz choc almond milk and 6 oz water and fruit cup of strawberries and pineapples 1 red, 1/2 yellow and 1 purple

Snack:  also in car sunflower seeds and almond mix 1 orange as well as cracker chips 1/2 yellow

Dinner:  this is where it fell apart.....my hubby decided to take us out to dinner. I had a plan to get a nice salad with shrimp or grilled chicken.  We get to the restaurant and my non meat eating daughter has no choices on the kids menu other than meat.  Nice right?  So what's a good momma to do.....order pasta to split with her.  I had a side salad to start off with and then went with 1/4 of the serving.  But then I ate the bread that came with it and a couple of the fried shrimps off my hubby's plate and half of his crab cake.  Good intentions down the drain.  And now I'm paying for it.  Not feeling too well.  

But I'm human.  We all are.  We will have some slip ups.  The key is to pick ourselves up and not let them stick around the next day and the next day.  

Tomorrow is a new day and I will probably do some extra cardio.  Scratch that.  I will do extra cardio. 

Day 3 on 21 Day Fix

I'm done with day three and still doing good!

Breakfast: 2 eggs and strawberries > equals 1 red and 1 purple

I didn't get hungry till lunch!

Lunch:  egg salad with Greek yogurt, whole wheat wrap, celery sticks > equals 1 red, 1 yellow and 1 green

I made my egg salad with 1 whole egg and 1 egg white, tablespoon of Greek yogurt and a squirt of spicy mustard.  Notice I had enough to fill the wrap and my celery sticks!   Score!

Snack:  Choc  Shakeology with water and frozen cherries > equals 1 red and 1 purple

So yummy even my microwave was eye balling it!  ;)

Snack:  Crackers and Salsa with a cheese stick > equals 1 yellow, 1/4 green and 1 fat

Dinner:  Crab stuffed flounder (from Trader Joes), salad and green beans/carrots > equals 1 red, 2 green and 1 orange for the dressing (I used a ginger dressing with 35 cal per 2 tbls)

I just finished my Brazil Butt Lift workout and I did a little extra cardio since the flounder was stuffed with a crab mix.  Never hurts to burn a couple extra calories after a big dinner.

I'm getting pretty good with the containers now.  I can guess pretty much as to what will fit in them now.  All though I didn't think the flounder would fit but it did.
