Here I am almost to the halfway mark and I am going strong. I have to say it's nice to be out of school because my mind is more clear and I have more time to focus on the little things. I know life can get hectic for most of us but I realize that we live in a place where we are busy! From the time we get up to the time we get to sleep the things that need to get done seem endless.
So today was a great start I woke up feeling rested. I have been noticing that I am not drinking as much coffee in the morning as I used to. I would seriously drink approximately four cups in the morning everyday with creamer and my liquid leaf stevia. It seemed like I was going through pot after pot of coffee. I would even drink it in the afternoon. Since I have started the program I have naturally weened down to about two and a half cups in the morning and about one cup in my shakeology per day. For me that is a lot, but I find that I am not sluggish or tired throughout the day anymore. I can attribute that to the change in diet, and adding more water to my day.
Today was a successful workout I did the lower fix earlier in the day. I went with my fifteen pound weights for the entire workout and I felt that with all of the movement involved it was right for this round. I may push myself to try the twenty pound weights next week in the final round but I am not decided yet. Pushing myself is something I always try to do. We tackled a variety of squats, lunges, and leg work on the floor. It was a relief to get to work on the floor after doing the harder exercises first but alas I powered through.
Eating was great. I managed to stay on target with my meals. I have been making my shakeology about midday and only drinking half of it and saving the rest for later. It is working as my sweet treat since I have been using the chocolate packets for the fix. I am saving the vanilla packets for when I can add more food to my plan and have that shake with almond milk. So for now I am just having the chocolate flavor. My meals are getting more creative. I find that whatever I have packed for myself in my box I can create meals with what I have in there. To keep from getting sloppy or I pre-pack everything the night before as you see here and that is all I eat the next day.
I do not have time in the day to fuss with fancy recipes I find that I am too busy for that. So doing this helps me to not only save time but to stay on target with the plan. I don't eat anything that I don't have in my box. That takes discipline and that is what is going to bring me success. The foods that I pack are fresh vegetables. I try to eat them as fresh as possible because this is going to make a huge difference in the my skin and how I feel from day to day.
So I did my workout earlier in the day after I got home from work and I thought I was done for the day. Then later on in the evening my beautiful daughter Gloria wanted to workout, so I challenged her to do the lower fix with me and we got to workout together. We not only did the lower fix, but we also did the ten minute ab fix as you can see at the top of the post. It was so much fun to work out with my daughter. She is so much like me and I love having that time to bond with her. She was in some serious pain but she kept on saying "oh beautiful pain" so I know that she loved the workout.
So I have been inviting you to join me in a 21 day fix challenge group. I am really looking forward to helping you get into the best shape of your life. I love being a coach it brings me so much happiness and I would love for you to feel the same way I do. Please fill out the online form and let me help you reach your fitness goals.
