Errrmaaagerrrrd.

Yeah, I suck at sticking with things.  This blog is living proof of that.   I am working on changing that though, I really am.   For the past week I have been following along with the 21 day fix by Beachbody.  It has kind of been eye-opening if we are all being honest with each other.  The system includes a meal plan that is simply based upon eating a certain number of color coded containers.  Each container is what a serving size of the assigned food group is supposed to be.  It has made me realize that even though I was eating semi healthy, I was eating way too much of it.   There is also an exercise plan that goes along with it.  I have officially lost 8.2lbs in one week on the 21 day fix.   I have a long way to go but that is a very nice start and I look forward to seeing what week 2 brings.

My first week on the 21 day fix has been pretty easy.  I have not been hungry and have tried a lot of new meals and they were all delicious.  I owe part of that to the paleo meal plan on emeals.com.  Have you guys ever heard about them?  They send you a weekly meal plan based upon your eating style for dinner, complete with shopping lists & recipes.   It is a god send considering I not only work full time, but attend grad school with two kids and a husband that is in nursing school full time.  It makes things easy come dinner time.  I wish they had a similar set up for their lunch plans.  The lunches are often filled with things I cannot eat (ie gluten).

Anyways, here is a look of some of the things I ate this week.

Baked Indonesian Chicken with Napa Cabbage-Carrot Salad

Cajun Flanksteak with Spinach Salad

Turkey Goulash over Bacon Cauli-rice

My normal work stash for the day

No, I did not eat those cookies, instead I made a delicious Alive Pea Protein Ultrashake.  No Shakeology was involved in this loss, the Alive shake compares nutritionally and superfood wise AND its only $20 for a 30 day supply.  Bitches be cheap.
