21 Day Fix- Round 2, Day 11

I have NOT forgotten about my blog. For some reason my computer and my phone are not communicating with each other, and I cannot transfer my pictures from my phone onto my computer. I have also been having trouble using the blogger app on my phone. So today I decided to update you all WITHOUT PICTURES :gasp:

Today was Day 11 out of 21, so I am officially more than halfway through the program. Yesterday was Mother's Day and my loving husband got home from his 3 day job just in time to bring me flowers and some wine. We drank a bottle and a half between the two of us. That means I had way more than the 4oz. I can technically have on the program! But this is my Journey, not a diet. It is a lifestyle change, and Mother's Day with my husband won't happen again for another year. I have also been very disciplined in my meal plans for at least 90% of the last 11 days. So I figured it was no big deal. BUT, I also promised myself it would not keep me from doing my exercise the next morning (and Monday's Total Body Cardio Fix is probably the hardest of them all!)

So when my alarm went off at 5:30am I got out of bed and did it! I drank lots of water before bed and before my workout, I also had 2 full bottles ready for me to drink during the routine. 

After my workout, I took a quick shower and then made my Shakeology. I heard somewhere the other day that the first hour after your workout is when your body does the most repair and refueling to your muscles, so it is the best time to drink your Shakeology. Not sure if there is any truth to that, but I am always starving after my workout so I will go with it for now!

I made breakfast for my family, but I was not hungry after drinking my Shake so I put my breakfast in a to-go container. I usually snack around 10:30 and we were supposed to be meeting friends at the zoo around that time, so I knew eating my breakfast on the way would be the best choice. 

I've decided that my previous posts were hard to follow if you were just looking at meal ideas. So I am going to list them out in this post and see if I like the layout better. 

5:30am- Exercise (Total Body Cardio Fix)

6:30am- Shakeology mixed with 1/2 Banana and 12oz. coffee (1 red, 1 purple)

10am- Oatmeal with apples, cinnamon, and a splash of milk. Also snacked on carrots and celery in the car.  (1 yellow, 1/2 purple, 1 green)

11am- 2 hard boiled eggs and 1/2 peanut butter sandwich (1 red, 1 yellow, 2 tsp.)

12:30pm- Mixed Salad with steak and Italian dressing (2 greens, 1 red, 1/2 orange)

3pm- 1/2 peanut butter sandwich; Carrots and Celery; Greek yogurt with pineapple. (1 green, 1/2 red, 1/2 purple, 1 yellow and 2 tsp.)

6pm- Mixed Salad with baked coconut crusted chicken and Ranch dressing (2 greens, 1.5 red, 1/2 orange)

8pm- Apple with peanut butter (1 purple, 2 tsp.)

Total Tally for the Day: 

Green (veggies)- 5 

Purple (fruit)- 2

Red (protein)- 5

Yellow (grains and starches)- 3

Blue (fats and nuts)- 0

Orange (dressings and seeds)- 1

Teaspoons (oils and nut butters)- 4

I am happy with these numbers because the only containers I am short on is yellow and blue, and those are the containers I am most likely to go over on. I got in all of my reds and greens which are the hardest for me to get in. 

I am not going to bother updating the last few days that I missed. But I do hope to post again soon with a few more recipe and meals ideas!
