I think day one of the 21 Day Fix went fairly well yesterday. For those of who aren't familiar with it, the 21 Day Fix is a Beachbody program that uses daily 30 minute exercise videos, color-coded food containers (for portion control), a careful diet plan, and Shakeology. (You can learn more here.)
I have a daily allotment of containers:
3 Green - Vegetables
2 Purple - Fruits
4 Red - Protein
2 Yellow - Carbohydrates
1 Blue - Cheese/nuts/avocado
1 Orange - Seeds/salad dressing
2 Tablespoons - Nut butters/cooking oils
I also must drink tons of water every day, which isn't too much of a problem for me, fortunately.
Yesterday here's what I ate:
Breakfast - Cup of Tea and Ginger Orange Shot (1 Purple) and Spinach/Celery/Cucumber/Apple juice (1 Green, 1 Purple)
AM Snack - 2 Hard Boiled Eggs (1 Red) and Pumpkin Seeds (1/2 Orange)
Lunch - Veggie Burger and Quinoa and a tiny bit of leftover garlic mashed potatoes (1 Red, 2.5 Yellow) (I just couldn't resist the potatoes!)
PM Snack - 2 Hard Boiled Eggs
Dinner - Baked salmon with coconut chili glaze and roasted brussels sprouts with balsamic and olive oil (1 Red, 2 Green, 1/2 Orange, 2 Tbsp)
I did not eat a blue container, but I feel okay about it, since I went over on my yellow. I am not supposed to substitute like that, as the container amounts are set a certain way for a reason, and I should really try to eat all the colors in order to make sure my body gets all the nutrients I need! :)
Here's a photo of my dinner, which was actually so big, I struggled to finish it. I guess I'm just glad that I wasn't left hungry at the end of the day. I usually eat so much more than this!
