21 Day Fix - Week 1 Wrap Up


Selfie for the week!  ---->

Day 6...Thursday
Up early and off to teach my class. I love getting outside early in the morning, makes me happy all day.  The pic is walking home from my Turbo class.  I love those folks, they are so dedicated!  I had breakfast when I got home, and I've discovered the deliciousness of choc shakeO with smashed banana is like pure heavenly chocolate syrup!   Oats for breakfast makes me happier now too  :)  The rest of the day went by pretty uneventful, I messed up one little time on my foods, when I thought cheese was a blue and it's really an orange!  Other than that, I was spot on!

Beginning of Day 7 - I weighed in under 140! Woot!  139.7 to be exact. That is a 3.7 pound loss in 6 days which is ridiculous for someone my size, but I'll take it!  Only 4 more to go in 2 weeks. I can SO DO THIS!  I know it will slow down now though, I must stay strong!

Speaking of staying strong, we went to a local place downtown tonight and I had fish and veggies.  It fit my food list and my cups sizes!  The only 'bad' thing I might have had today was the oil they put on/in the veggies. Week 2 I'm going to start posting pics of my food to stay motivated.  (:  Since tonight was date night and I have worked extra long this week, I took today off from exercise. Plan to hit it hard tomorrow!

Here are my stats for week 1 ---- I am soooooooo stoked!! It's working!!!!!!!!

21 Day Fix - Day 5

It is finally getting a little easier!  I was 100% spot on today with all of my numbers, only 1 cup short on veggies, but I got my shakeO in so I think I'm good with vitamins and nutrients with the veggies :)    I have no clue how many calories are going in.  It's probably best if I keep it like that.

I did not weigh today for the first time. I know the weight loss is going to slow down as I don't have a pound a day to lose!  :P    I decided to do every other day for the rest of this week and next week I'll try to stretch it out further, if I can! I'm like those immediate rewards...maybe I can hold out.  Weighing too often can be discouraging if everything doesn't go perfect every time.

I was checking out my abs while we were lifting weights tonight ...teehee, I can already see abs!  Lookout everybody on the cruise-ship this summer ;)

21 Day Fix - Day 4

Woke up this morning showing another .8lbs down!  While that sounds like a lot, I am still sitting in the 5lb range that I easily slide up and down on. I still have 17 full days left to go! I taught Turbo this morning and forgot to turn my HRM on, so no idea how many calories I burned.

Foodwise,  I had a minor setback, and added the 'black' column to track the evil foods that should not be on there.  So you say - CC, it's only Day 4 for Heaven's Sakes!  I didn't prepare for this week. :(  I got in late this morning and did not have my gallon of water prepared for the day like usual, therefore I didn't drink it... In a perfect world, I would have 4 red cups of protein waiting for me to consume, but today in my limited time and my hunger, I am running around looking for a protein and I found.............. a clif builder bar.  Yippie Protein!  I sing praises... Oh how I love thee with your chocolatey outside and crunchy inside. I saw you and I knew you had to be mine.....

Did it cross my mind it doesn't  FIT INTO MY CUP? meh, if i melted it down it would.  Did I care that it wasn't on the list of THINGS TO GO IN MY CUP?  well, we do have some treats made from shakeology and stuff, clif bar is not that much worse.  Ok, so I talked myself into eating it and felt guilty afterwards.  Just goes to show no matter how easy and cut and dry a program is, you can still veer off course!  I volunteered for a second workout tonight, Insanity Round 6. I was so glad I did too! I burned it up! LOVE THAT CLASS!!  I need to start posting some selfies on here since it is all about me anyways.  I'll try to get right on that.
