Welcome!

Welcome to my blog, where I will share my journey through fitness as a mother of 3 kids under age 5. There is a section that I've included that will tell you a little more about me, if you care to know! But otherwise, I'd like to jump right in!

Yesterday I started Beachbody's 21 Day Fix. The workout, Total Body Cardio, was tough, and I am for sure feeling it in my legs today! I'm ready to attack the Upper Body Fix, as soon as I find my dvd player remote. Ahh, the joys of little children.

Following the meal plan yesterday was cake. Well, not actual cake. That would have been nice. It was so easy though! When I first saw the containers, I was scared that I would be starving, and cheat constantly to make myself feel full. Not the case at all! I found myself having to add in a snack at the end of the day to make my food goals. Here is what I ate yesterday, on day 1.

Breakfast: Greek Yogurt with blueberries, sunflower seeds, and cinnamon. (1 red, 1 purple, 1 orange.)
After Workout Snack: Chocolate Shakeology with almond milk and hazelnut extract (1 Red, 1 Yellow exchange) 
Lunch: Veggie burger on a bed of mixed greens, with hummus, feta, cucumber, and EVOO. (1 Red, 2 Green, 1 Blue, 1 tsp.) 
Snack: 1 Teaspoon almond butter, Strawberries. (1 tsp, 1 purple.)
Dinner: Turkey bacon, asparagus, zucchini, mushrooms, whole wheat bow tie pasta, EVOO. (1 Red, 2 Green, 1 Yellow, 2 tsp.)
Snack: Oatmeal with berries. (1 yellow, 1 purple)

And that's a delicious, filling day following the 21 Day Fix meal plan! Recipes and photos to come!
