21 day Feeling Foxy!

Todays workout is Lower Fix.  I really am loving this program.  So for the last two days I have a reason to be proud of myself, I have stuck to my goals and have really felt more energetic.  I like my containers but I find it much more fulfilling to eat off of a plate so I either measure with my containers or I use regular measuring cups and serving sizes.  I really like that the book is very descriptive on meat portions and what types of meat to consume.  I love that this diet encourages healthy grains such ans quinoa and incorporates ideas on how to make meals rather than just eating out of tupperware.  Really this entire system is great for a person who has no idea what a serving size should be to get into a healthy routine and believe it or not I was one of those clueless people.

I used to run 4 miles a day every day and lift hand weight twice a week.  This kept me thin but I have never been toned except for my legs.  I also overloaded on carbs constantly and really never gave myself adequate vegetables or fruits throughout the day.  This diet gives people a good idea of how working different body areas everyday will tone and how getting a variety in the diet will maintain weight and shed unwanted pounds.

Meals on Day 2 that I just loved.

Breakfast:
I had a veggie omelette, with a small amount of cheese I also had half of a small apple.
2 eggs, red container
three diced mushrooms
1 slice of tomato
3 spinach leaves
all of my veggies combined  make up a 1/5 veggie container so I really didn't count this as my green.
a tablespoon of cheese, half of blue container
half apple, half serving of purple container.

Snack:
half apple, banana and pumpkin seeds.  I baked my own seeds from some of the cookie pumpkins I harvested this year.

Lunch:
steamed veggies and 4oz chicken.  I used the all purpose season but just a dash or two and I baked the chicken.  This gave me a red container and a green container

Snack:
tortilla chips yellow container
home made and home grown salsa, green container

Dinner:
I had a mixed green salad with light catalina dressing and topped with precooked cubed chicken that I had prepared on Sunday.
I paired my meal with a slice of whole grain toast.

I let this be my cheat day since it was New Years and I had a serving of ice cream with my hubby.
