21 Day Fix-- Take 2
last week i started my 21 day fix AGAIN! about 2 years ago? i did 21 day fix for like 7 months and actually lost 35 pounds and got down to my lowest weight and 4# past my goal weight. i went from 225 - 191 in 7 months! It was the happiest and best i have ever felt about my body and weight. Its not secret, after i had Owen and quick breastfeeding, i obviously gained weight a like a crazy person and lost all motivation for anything outside of my daily work and housekeeping duties. so, when i got up to my old heaviest weight of 224 again, thats when i knew i HAD to do something & so the 21 day fix began again. i started last monday at 224 & i monitored my food at about 50% & lost maybe 1 pound that week. this last week, i really watched my food and meal planned and ate healthy and lost 3.5 pounds this week! im down to 220 pounds as of Friday. Now, i did have a graduation this weekend soooo i can promise im down to the 220 on Monday. (fingers crossed i am though). although im not seeing immediate weight loss, i can already feel myself getting stronger and my stamina is getting higher. my arms and legs are definitely alot stronger already within the first 2 weeks.
i have been having a hard time coming up with a routine of when to get my daily work out in since i now have an 8-4:30 job whereas before i worked 2-1030 & would take avery to daycare would workout at 1030, shower, pack lunch & go to work. the only reasonable way to get a workout in everyday is to get up at 430 every morning, so thats what i have been doing. its crazy, but IT WORKS! im tired 100% of the time and day, but it is a very nice feeling to come home after an exhausting day, make supper, hang with the family and be able to go to bed at about 830-900 every night. im hoping after my 21 days, i can be more comfortable with getting up at 430 every morning & not feeling as exhausted as i should have been.
SO-- WHAT HAVE I BEEN EATING?
4:30-8am -- every morning i wake up and immediately drink a 30oz bottle of water with my workout and finish it on my way to work or drink as much water as i can from 430 am -8am
8am -- breakfast-- occurs when i get to work i have either a packet of oatmeal (i like the cinnamon roll flavor) or a half cup of 100% whole grain rolled oats with 1 tbsp of pb and sprinkle some cinnamon on it, i also have my morning miralax with a cup of coffee and that pretty much fills me up for the morning.
10am -- morning snack -- 1 green container of carrots, 1 purple of fruit or yogurt or a slimfast.
12-1230 -- lunch -- either of something i have left over from supper or something simple i can quickly pull together in the morning. ranges from chicken with veggies, tilapia with veggies or a turkey & ham sandwich. I also have a purple of veggies & usually a carb as another side
2-3pm -- afternoon snack -- protein bar, peanut butter & cheddar pack of crackers(Austin brand)
6pm -- supper time-- honestly depends on my motivation and level of exhaustion...i sometimes will throw some chicken with lemon juice in the crockpot, or broil tilapia--last week i got a new recipe for parmesan broiled tilapia with a side of veggies, and generally a carb. usually JD & Avery dont like what i eat so i usually end up making 3 different meals *sigh* to add to my exhaustion...chicken nuggets, mac & cheese or corn dogs is usually the winner for jd and avery's meals.
7pm-430 am -- After supper, its only water until the next day & bed at 830/900 pm
This is the best before & after side by side photo i have on my computer.
