Day 2 and 3 of 21 Day Fix

Three days into the 21 Day Fix, and I am feeling very good.  The eating plan has been easy to implement, and the workouts are short, but very effective.  Here's a breakdown of the last 2 days:

Day 2 of the Fix

Today my daughter had a playdate, so I had to work my meals and workout schedule around it.  I didn't get up early enough to get in a morning workout, which made doing doubles more difficult, but I am proud to say I got it done.  Today's Fix workout was Upper Fix.  I really enjoy arm days, so I really liked this workout.  I'm going to use heavier weights next time.  3 and 5 pounder weren't doing it for me.  I did this workout during my daughter's nap time, and did my second workout, PiYo Sculpt, after she went down for the night.  After so many days of doing morning workouts, I did struggle to workout in the evening.  I just don't have the same motivation at night.  As far as the eating plan went, I was happy with my food choices.  I was a little hungry in the late afternoon, but drinking water helped curb my appetite until dinner.  I am still experimenting with what time to have each of my color containers.  Today I tried having reds (protein) in the morning and my yellows (carbs) later in the day.  I liked this better than Monday's meal plan.

• Meal Plan
• Breakfast: 2 scrambled eggs (2r, 1tsp)
• Snack: Large apple (2p)
• Lunch: Tortellini and green beans (1g, 1r, 1y, 1b, 1tsp)
• Snack: Cantaloupe (1p)
• Dinner: salad w/dressing, grilled chicken and mashed potatoes (3g, 1r, 2 1/2 y, 1o, 1tsp)

Day 3 of the Fix

Got my schedule back on track today. Got up early and did my PiYo workout (PiYo Sweat) before the kiddo was up.  Today my husband joined me for PiYo.  He is doing the program as well, but we usually workout separately.  It was nice to have a workout partner today.  I was planning on getting my fix workout in during nap time, but life got in the way of that, and I had to save it until after bedtime.  I just finished the Lower Fix workout a little bit ago.  I have mixed feelings about leg day.  

It was a really good workout, and don't get me wrong, I did enjoy it, but I am not as much of a fan of sore legs.  You really don't realize how much you utilize your quads and hamstrings until you have tried to sit, stand, or climb stairs after leg day.  On the flip side though, your legs are your power house and the key to revving up your metabolism.  Leg muscles are big muscles and require a lot of energy to function.  So, embrace leg day!  The hurt is worth it. At least, that's what I'm telling myself. :)  My meal plan today was on point.  I was really happy with how it worked out:

• Meal Plan
• Breakfast: cereal w/1%milk, 1 scrambled egg (2y,1r, 1tsp)
• Snack: Large apple (2p)
• Lunch: salad, grilled chicken, and mashed potatoes (3g, 1r, 1y, 1o, 1tsp)
• Snack: Colby cheese and almonds (1b)
• Dinner: Pork Loin and roasted cauliflower (2r, 1g)
• Snack: Cantaloupe (1p)

I love roasted cauliflower.  I have a great recipe that I will post tomorrow, so stay tuned!
