So close to the end I can almost taste my reward of chocolate Shakeology with actual lactose free milk, a touch of peanut butter, a half cup of coffee, and a teaspoon of maple syrup, the real stuff that you get in Vermont. That's right I had these grand ideas of what my reward would be after the fix was over, a fancy photo shoot, an expensive haircut perhaps, or maybe even a new wardrobe. But then I came back down to earth and realized all I want is my Shakeology. I have come to love it and I cannot have it for one more day. That's right I am on the final fix and I am not allowed any sugar. I have been so good on this program, that I cannot stop now. I have to see it all the way to the end.
Today started out very good. I got up on time did my hair, got ready for work as usual. I did not forget my morning meditation because that is so important to me on the days that I have to work. It makes me feel more centered and at peace. There are so many health benefits to meditation, I wish more people would do it. But for spiritual as well as health reasons I make it a point to meditate whenever I have time in the morning. Now being on the three day fix they require you to eat every two hours. I found it difficult with work to follow that schedule very strictly, I have to say it was not easy for me to do. I did the best that I could and ate whenever possible. At most there was an extra hour between meals.
Drinking water was also difficult for me today. Life was just in the way and I had to drink as much as I could within the time that I could to not have terrible sleep in the evening, and not drink so much that if I had to leave the house I would not have a terrible urge to use the ladies room. Water does run right through some people and sometimes it is not always so convenient especially on the weekend. So I did the best I could drank about 3/4 of a gallon. I did not beat myself up as usual, because I don't have time for that either, life is about doing better in the present than the day before. My food was very good today although I ended up eating well into the evening which was expected since I was running around in the afternoon. I ended up not eating one of my containers of vegetables, which I plan to eat tomorrow. The reason my schedule was off was really because I had forgotten about an appointment that I had scheduled at 5:00 p.m. and I had completely forgotten.
My workouts got done today I had the Dirty 30 and Pilates which I love more and more every time I do it. On the Dirty I used my heavier twenty pound weights for the rows, it was a struggle and I moved a little slower than usual but I got through it. I did better today on triceps as well, the sting at the end was fantastic. After I finished with my Pilates, I did an additional two sets of squats with my twenty pound weights which ended up being about thirty five total.
All in all the day was a success. Food preparation was done later on in the evening. I am hoping that at some point I will be able to get into the habit of doing it earlier, but up till now it has been difficult. The worst thing would be not to be prepared at all. Having your meals pre-packed is the key to success on the program. So for tomorrow's menu chicken breast, Mahi Mahi, broccoli, red bell pepper, my harmlessly doctored up sweet potatoes, steel cut oats, egg whites, coffee and another attempt at an entire gallon of water.
I looking for you if you have an interest in changing your life for the better and need that support system that is what I am here for. My Challenge group for the 21 Day Fix will be starting on the 2nd of June and there is still time to get into that size smaller. If you are ready for that commitment please fill out my online form.
