21 Day Fix for this model

So I am on the 21 day fix and let me tell you, I think it is a great healthy change.  I love food but I don't always get the right amount of the right foods. This plan paired with a smartphone app that logs my calories and food works great.  I use the workout videos but also do my own workout. Really this is just amping up my normal running routine and is giving me the opportunity to tone areas I tend to ignore, such as, my arms and tummy.  I am on my 2nd day of this and have more than plenty to eat throughout the day. I was very surprised at how satisfied I felt after eating the appropriate servings of each food group.  I logged what I ate into map my run to get a calorie count as well as calories burnt and my first day I had a deficit of 788 calories!  Wow and I wasn't even hungry.  In fact I skipped my last allotted protein because I  felt full.

For my first day, my meal plan was as fallows:

Breakfast: half cup greek plain yogurt 1/4 cup granola, 4 oz Simply Orange Juice = 1 serving protein red container, 1 serving grain yellow container, and one serving fruit purple container.

Exercise was the cardio portion of the video
I also ran 2 miles and walked 1

Lunch: chips and Guacamole,= serving of grains, yellow container and of healthy fats, blue container,.

Snack: carrot sticks and celery no dressing=  one serving of vegetables green container.

Snack: banana:= purple serving or fruit serving

Dinner: 4 ounce turkey burger with mustard and ketchup teaspoon or less of ketchup tomato slice and onion slice with spinach leaves.  Served on a thin whole grain 90 calorie bun.  This paired with a side of steamed vegetables m=   1 serving of protein red container, 1 serving of grains yellow container, 1 serving of vegetables green container. I also used my teaspoon for ketchup and there wasn't enough tomato to equal a full fruit serving.

I stepped away from the day feeling satisfied and good I love this diet and fully see it as a permanent part of my life now.  I wasn't able to get all my veggies in today hopefully I will do better tomorrow but I'm learning and so far I feel really good about what I have accomplished.

Ps. My husband likes it too I make his 3 meals and he is in charge of his own snacks since he is allowed more of every food group than I am.

Also remember to hydrate I am supposed to drink 65 ounces a day my husband is supposed to drink 95.
