It's the end of day 3 and yes its ONLY day 3 but I do feel pretty good! I am sore so last night after my workout I took an Epsom Salt bath. It actually does feel good to be sore because I know I am working my body out and it needs it! It's not horribly sore but when I go to sit down or stand up I sure feel it in my quads!
I switched todays workout with Yoga instead of the lower fix because I don't want to push myself too much to where I can't do any workouts. The yoga is great because it helps to stretch your muscles and it feel more like a recovery workout which is nice!
So far the eating part is going very well, much better than its been in a long time. For one I think this is because I have been off from work so I don't have any distractions or temptations with food at work. I work at a restaurant that has amazing food, yes healthy too but the chicken parmesans and, smoked gouda mac and cheese always look so amazing, especially when you are trying to eat healthy! It actually has been nice because I feel like I am off to a great start and I love that I prepped some foods ahead of time so I literally can just grab and go!
Tomorrow I am going back to work so I will finish tonight with setting myself up for tomorrow! I will pack my lunch and get my breakfast ready for tomorrow! I also plan on prepping ahead again for the week after work. My plan is to prepare some sweet potatoes in the oven and make some more couscous, I'd like to have better carb choices instead of whole grain bread.
On the post about Day 1 recap I wrote what I'd like to improve on, which two of the things was to drink more water and eat more protein. Even now for Day 3 I still need to up my water, and my protein. For the protein part, I am going to make myself some bacon in the morning and have my shakeology, that will count for 2 Reds and I will still need 2 more. Protein isn't just meat, I can have eggs, yogurt, cottage cheese, ricotta cheese, shellfish, etc. I think the problem is I really don't eat a lot of protein and this has helped me to realize that. So I really need to work on that and somehow incorporate that into my diet, it will probably help me to stay fuller longer too. As for water, I am buying a nice big liter of water and drinking that and filling it up! I don't know why its been so challenging for me to drink up but even after Day 3 I still need to work on that!
Tonight for dinner I had chicken, peppers and pineapple shish kabobs! Was cool to make and I grilled them on my little grill! I will have a post coming up about the little grill we have that is super convenient and easy to use!
