21 Day Fix - Day 4

Workout

Today's workout was Pilates. I've never done Pilates before, but imagined it to be somewhat like yoga. This video was very similar to yoga I have done before, except the breathing here was short and fast vs. long and slow. 

It was great to have a rest day now that the soreness in my legs is starting to subside. The stretching felt really good, though I don't feel like I was able to fully do some of the movements because I am still so stiff from my workouts!

There was a good amount of core work between planks and abs. I am surprised that we have worked abs 4 days in a row.

I burned around 130 calories today.

Food

Today was bad on the food front. It was one of those days where you can't get full! I knew I was in trouble when I ate my second meal before I even left the house for work this morning.

I ate:
-My usual Shakeology with soy milk.
-A piece of raisin toast
-Almonds
-Greek yogurt and mixed fruit
-Stir-fry with chicken
-A few snacks from work (pub mix and dried fruit and nut mix)
-Salad, veggie burger, cottage cheese, dressing
-Another Shakeology
I drank black coffee, green tea and lots of water.

I think all my food added up to about an extra red, blue, yellow and teaspoon today. I don't know if it's because I have no willpower or I'm actually hungry.

Tomorrow we have a birthday breakfast at work for the CEO. It's going to be hard to resist!

Weighed in at 105.2.

My goal for tomorrow is to stick to the plan (because apparently I haven't AT ALL yet) and to take more pictures!

21-Day Fix - Day 1

Workout

Total Body Cardio Fix - This was my first workout in over 3 weeks, and let me tell you, OMG, it was rough. I have definitely lost some of my cardiovascular fitness over the past few weeks. I can't remember the last time I had to pause a video to catch my breath, but I did it THREE times during this workout. Oh well, it's all a process, right? It definitely felt good to be back at it.

The workouts (and Autumn) reminded me a lot of Jillian Michaels and her video series. 21-Day Fix workouts are definitely harder, but I think they are structured similarly. I am looking forward to Upper Body tomorrow.

I burned around 250 calories today.

Food

I'm glad Tony prepped all that salad and chicken yesterday, because it was a breeze to put together my meals this morning! The containers look tiny (I remember getting them and thinking, "That's IT?"), but they actually hold more food then you think. 

I followed my meal plan exactly as posted on Feb 16, so this is what I ate:
-Shakeology (My usual): vegan chocolate, 1/2 purple of frozen strawberries, 1tsp of natural peanut butter, 1 cup of unsweetened almond milk, fill the rest with water and blend
-Ezekiel bread toasted with 1/4 smashed avocado
-Greek yogurt (red) with 1 1/2 purple filled with strawberries and peaches
-Salad (romaine, carrots and cherry tomatoes, equal to two greens), chicken (red), dijon dressing (orange)
-Stir fry, tofu (red), frozen veggie mix (green) and tiny bit of low sodium soy sauce (soy sauce not on plan, don't tell Autumn)
I drank black coffee, green tea, water.

I was STARVING by 7pm, so I went and hid as far away from the kitchen as I could so I wouldn't think about food.

What do you do help curb your appetite?

Starting weight:107

Sleeping curbs hunger haha, so off I go!
