21 Day Fix Week 2 Update and Progress - Plus Meal Plan

Week 2 is completed...week 3 begins!  

I'm starting the 3rd week of workouts and eating plan. I'm learning some new things about myself thru this process, both about my eating habits and my workout habits.

Meals

My eating habits...well, let's face it...I love my oatmeal, through and through. I've known that about myself but didn't realize how much I crave that in the mornings. When I have my oatmeal, I hate only having a single yellow serving size of oatmeal. Literally I think it's too small. So I've had to adjust to that size or use 2 of my yellow containers. But them I feel like I miss out on my other favorites like sweet potatoes and quinoa. So do I have a solution?  Not really, other than to just vary it and learn that it's a give and take for my yellow container. 

Cauliflower Rice

Although I will say that because of this "problem" with lack of yellow containers, I've learned to try new alternatives that incorporate my green veggie containers in place of the yellow containers. Here are 2 of my favorites...spaghetti squash and cauliflower rice!!!  These totally satisfy my craving to have a grain like quinoa or brown rice, yet it doesn't take away that container for the day!!  I make a big batch if these to have for the week and it works wonders!!

Workouts

I've really had a different outlook with these workouts last week. I've enjoyed then in a new way. Even though, I'll be honest, I've struggled getting up at 5 am each morning I've pushed through it. I have literally had a conversation in my head each morning debating whether or not to get up and workout. Something like this, "oh I'm so tired and the bed feels so good" "but, I've really enjoyed the workout one I get started, it really isn't that bad, you know you should get up and workout", "oh but I am so tired", "come on you can do it...just get up"!!

Literally, I had this conversation every morning last week, but every morning the GOOD VOICE on my head WON!! I know I have turned a corner when I can say that!  So that's a major victory for sure. 

I am definitely feeling stronger doing these workouts even though the scale hasn't changed that much, I'm ok with that. This is a process and a journey and above all I am shaping new habits and new lifestyles!

21 Day Fix - Week 1 Women's Update and Week 2 Meal Plan

WOW!  It sure is amazing what a changed attitude and mindset with a renewed commitment will do for you throughout the week!  SUCCESS!!

To be honest, I had been in a bit of a rut over the past couple weeks.  Last week, I did a 180 degree turn in my mind and recommitted to my goals.  I had been a little lazy on them and I needed a change!  I committed to following the 21 Day Fix, 110% and no cheating on my meal plan!  I got used to just little snitches of food here and there not thinking that it made a big deal…well it does!  I needed to go back to using the 21 Day Fix containers to the "T"!  I found that these containers help me so much in knowing how much food I should eat of any given group.  I tend to get larger portions then I need!  Can you relate?

So here's how my week looked last week:

Day 3 - Lower Fix

Day 4 - Pilates Fix

Day 5 - Cardio Fix

Day 6 - Dirty 30

Day 7 - Yoga Fix

21 Day Fix Week 1 Workouts

Throughout the week I felt really good, strong and confident that I was going to stay good on my commitment.  I was really hungry the first couple days, but it didn't stay that way the whole week.  I felt great going to bed not full.  We eat kind of late so sometimes when I'd go to sleep after a big meal, I didn't sleep well…now, my meals are portioned properly and I don't feel that way anymore!

The exciting news is that I lost 2 pounds this week!!  I am stoked about that.  I don't really have much at all that I want to trim down, but during my laziness (ugh!) I had picked up a few pounds that I want to get off!  So let's see where the program takes me.  I also added a couple days of the 21 Day Fix AB FIX workout and LOVE it!!  I definitely feel my abs getting stronger!

Here were a couple of my meals and snacks this week…Yummy!!  My favorite snack, greek yogurt and blueberries (1 red container and 1 purple container).

Day 1 - 21 Day Fix -- Round 2

21 Days Starts NOW!

Well, I am on to Round 2 with 21 Day Fix…Although…I've got to be completely honest with you about Round 1 for me….I didn't fully complete it to the degree that I wanted to.  I cheated the program and myself (full confession!!)!  I started out strong and was seeing results, and honestly I think I got "too comfortable" thinking I knew the full program and how the food worked.  I have learned that I'm a "stress" eater (can anyone relate?).   I was dealing with some stressful stuff in addition to a ski vacation during one of the weeks of the program, and now looking back and reflecting on it all…I didn't handle that time well and the way that I KNOW I should have handled things.  Let's face it, we are all human and fully blow it sometimes, and this was my time, but I have moved on and the pity party has stopped!!  So, all of that to say…this is round 2 for me, but it's really a fully committed round 1, if you want to say that!

So, in this past week or so, I've had time to realize that my mind was not where I needed it to be nor where I wanted it to be.  There needed to be a change, a new commitment and "GO TIME"!  And this is it!!!  21 Days to regain my healthy habits!

21 Day Fix - 21 Days to a New Habit!

So, even though I had continued to workout during the last 21 Days of the FIX, my heart and my commitment was lacking.  I was not fully in it like I've been in the past.  The passion was lacking.  But, I'm here and ready to FULLY commit to these 21 Days, just like my amazing challengers have done!

Press Play!

This weekend was a busy weekend for me, so I've had to find ways to prep and set myself up for success.  So one thing is that I'm going back to my very first week of my meal plan.  It's already made and sometimes as busy moms, we've just got to make our lives easier…so next week, you'll see an all new meal plan from me, but this week you get a repeat!  :)

21 Day Fix Meal Plan - Week 1

I've completed my workout for today, which was Total Body Cardio Fix plus I added in the 10- Minute Ab Fix today too!

So today starts a new beginning…new commitment…new start!  We all need that once and a while.  Mine is NOW!

21 Day Fix - Week 1 - Women's Update and Meal Plan

21 Day Fix Week 1 Update

So I've completed week 1 of the NEW 21 Day Fix!  I'm really liking the program.  It was such a wake up call to me with the portion sizes I am supposed to have vs. the serving sizes I used to eat.  I followed the meal plan really well, although on Sunday I did have a bit of a "special treat" that I did not account for in my planning...

I stuck to every workout this week, the workouts are only 30 minutes long and it's easy to get through each of the workouts if time is an issue for you.  Now, don't get me wrong…the workouts aren't "easy"…they make you work and they are tough, but if you are a beginner, they are completely doable for you.  There are modified moves and you can take it at your own pace until you build up enough strength to increase your weights or graduate from the modified moves.

Biggest struggles this week…

• The pre-measured containers take a bit to get used to.  Remember, you are most likely breaking old habits of eating too much of one food group at a time or too little of another, so you will need to adjust what you are used to eating.
• Decreasing my yellow container (carb container).  Now, I don't feel like I ate a ton of carbs to begin with, however, my portion sizes for my oatmeal in the morning and my rice or quinoa in the evening had to be adjusted.  I found myself just taking out my morning oatmeal all together and just having my shake for breakfast.  
• I need to drink more water!
• It was a lot of work making sure I had my Green Container (veggies) all in for my day.  I thought I ate more veggies than I really did!  Oops!  

Loves for the week…

• I really gained an understanding for correct sizes of portions!  
• I was not as hungry as I thought I might be.
• I felt like I was eating a LOT of food (I love food, so that's a great thing!)

Tips from this week…

• If you find yourself getting hungry, look back at each food option and substitute a different food from that group and see if that will hold you over longer.  
• I found that Greek Yogurt (red container) plus a fruit (purple container) was a really great and filling snack for me.  I felt like I was eating a lot of food at one time!
• Get the workouts done FIRST THING in the morning!!  Makes the day run so much smoother!
• PLAN AHEAD!  This is really tough if you don't plan ahead.  Bring your snacks with you if you are going out for the day!  Don't find yourself without your meal plan or snacks.

Favorite 21 Day Fix Snack!

Here's my meal plan for this week.  A lot of it is the same but changed the dinners up a bit!

1 Down…20 to Go! (Quick Update of 21 Day Fix, Day 1)

1 day down…20 more to go…

21 Days to a New Habit!

I felt great all day yesterday.  It was the first day of the 21 Day Fix.  And I will be honest, I was afraid I would be starving all day!  But it wasn't too bad!  I felt like I had enough to eat all day.  I don't know if it was because of my choices that made it feel like I had a bunch of food, but I didn't feel like I was having to "skimp" on food.  In fact, I had steamed veggies (2 green containers) at night and felt like had a TON of them!!  

Now, I will say…it was a HUGE wake up call (and quite a disappointment) when I filled my yellow container in the morning with my absolute favorite, steel cut oats.  WOW was that a small portion, or what?  I have been having way too large of portions in that area, that's for sure!  Well…this is why I'm doing this.  It's a simple eating plan that will build new habits for me that are more in line with the portions I should be eating!!

The most exciting part was that I got to try the new Strawberry Shakeology.  It was super yummy and a good change up from the Chocolate that I've had for a long time, even though that will always be a favorite!
