Day 3

As yesterday was something of a non-stop crazy-fest for the entire day, I didn't manage to get my work out in (Dirty 30). I talked with my coach and decided that I'd double up on my workouts today. So Dirty 30 and yoga it was!

(my adorable yoga mat)

In all honesty, the fact that yoga is Sunday's exercise totally saved my butt. I don't know if I could have handled another workout as exerting as the Dirty 30. But the yoga was an excellent cool-down after the first workout, and I felt energized and excited to face the day after finishing it!

For lunch, the hubby and I decided to splurge on some sushi. Luckily the handy dandy 21 Day Fix booklet gives instructions on how to count sushi, so I enjoyed two rolls and have now sadly used up all my yellow containers for the day.

I still have a red left, so I'm thinking I'll try grilling up some tuna tonight. Fingers crossed that I can manage to pull this off!

Day 2

Today I had friends over, so it was a quick run out to the store to get a fruit platter before they showed up.

Breakfast was eggs and veggies.

Lunch was two purple containers of the aforementioned fruit platter.

After-lunch snack was two more of those turkey tacos that I'd made yesterday.

And for dinner (because I had so many carbs left) I experimented with fried rice.

Taurus' Attempt at Fried Rice

EVOO: 2 tsp (2 spoons)

Eggs: 2 (1 red)

Frozen peas: 1 green

Frozen chopped onions: 1 green

Brown Rice: 2 yellow containers

Dried basil to taste

Minced garlic in water to taste

Chili pepper flakes to taste

Sesame seeds: 1 orange

This made an obnoxiously large amount of food. I thought I was hungry, but not hungry enough to eat all of this! I foolishly forgot to take a picture when I first made it, so when I make it again I'll come back in here to insert a picture.

One of our many adventures yesterday took us to a small farm about 5 miles from where we live. We got a dozen eggs, and I was so excited--I've never seen eggs like these before. They're super-fresh...BUT THEY'RE MULTI-COLORED.

 Happy Easter?

After getting over the initial desire to immediately cook up some ham, the hubby and I decided that tomorrow morning would be a great time to try these out. Can't wait for breakfast now!

Day 1

Day 1 passed without too much of an issue!

I learned that I need to plan my food out better the night before. I was rushed in the morning trying to get the workout in (Cardio Fix, since I'm starting on a Friday), and ended up running out the door with two green containers filled with frozen veggies for lunch.

That was not the wisest decision I could have made.

When I got home from work later on that night, I made turkey tacos...and because I still had 2 of my proteins left for the day, I was able to eat 4 of them.

So dinner was big, lunch was painfully sparse. Lesson learned: Prepare the night before.

Below is an attempt to write up what a serving of my turkey tacos look like. I had two servings, soooo....

Turkey Tacos of Joy

Lean Ground Turkey cooked and spiced with homemade taco seasoning (light on the salt): 1 red

Broccoli Slaw mix: 1 green

2 Small Corn Tortillas: 1 yellow

Pico de Gallo: 2 tbsp (did not count as a container)

Shredded Cheese: 1 blue

My coach suggested that if I use a small amount of salsa, it shouldn't need to be counted (as long as there aren't any additives in it). I'm hoping to make some of my own this weekend because I bought the ingredients for it yesterday. :)

We are with food!

My 21 Day Fix diet starts tomorrow, and I've gotten my first grocery run completed.

Hubby wanted his frozen chicken front and center, but I'll have to refrain from eating that for the next 21 days. Alas!

Looking forward to seeing how this progresses!

Before the Storm

Tomorrow is the Big Day--I'll be embarking on yet another diet plan!

I'm hoping that things might work out better if I try blogging about my diet. So we shall see...I'm going to try to make this more of a "picture blog", so that might be more fun! :)
