21 Day Fix, Week 2 Meal Plan and Progress

What a week this has been!  I am currently fighting horrible allergies and possibly a sinus infection from all the pollen here.  We spent the ENTIRE weekend outdoors, and I’m sure that didn’t help at all.  But it was such a beautiful weekend, and we had so much fun with the boys just playing ball!

They actually helped me out and did a mini interview to share what foods they like to eat that are healthy and which ones they don’t!  They’re too cute, aren’t they?

I am heading into Week 2 of the 21 Day Fix this week.  I would say my first week went really well!  I over did it a little yesterday at the Mexican restaurant, but other than that, I’ve been ON TRACK!

And my body thanks me.  I am not focusing on the scale so much this go round, but I did measure, and I’ve lost a few inches already!  And I just FEEL better.

I’ve been pretty diligent about tracking my food and using my containers. This is something that just works for me. It helps me refocus and recognize that portions DO matter, and make a big difference in my results.

Doing these workouts again consistently for the first time in almost three years has brought back a FLOOD of emotions!  Remembering how HARD it was to get started in the first place.

How DIFFICULT it was to commit to changing the way I eat.

How SORE I was that first week I completed the 30 minute workouts every day.

And how GRATEFUL I was to have a team of women in my challenge groups cheering me on and holding me accountable.

And the fact remains that ALL of that is still true today.

It is still hard to stay committed to making healthy food choices some days. Although I see and feel and understand the benefits so much more today than I did then, my mind still tells me I want that fried chicken and biscuit most mornings. But I CHOOSE not to.

I was still quite sore from some of the workouts this past week, because this program works EVERY muscle in your body. It targets a different muscle group everyday, which helps…but I was still walking funny after Lower Fix for a day or two!

21 Day Fix Week 2 Meal Plan

And now I am moving on to Week 2 with my team!

Shakeology helped me stay out of the Easter Candy!

My goals for this week are: 

1. To up my reps and weights where I can in my workouts.
2. To track ALL my meals in my 21 Day Fix Tracker app….that thing is amazing!
3. To stop eating at LEAST 2 hours before I go to bed. I find this helps my metabolism keep going strong and prevents weight gain.

Looking forward to next week and sharing even more results from me and my challengers!

My newest challenge group kicks off tomorrow, and it makes me so excited to see women making their health a priority!  It’s scary and it’s overwhelming, but it’s so worth it, and I am honored to walk alongside these gals as we GO FOR IT!
