Yesterday was Day 2 of the 21 Day Fit Extreme (21DFX from here on out) and it was good and it was a little shaky there around lunch time but I pulled through!

I realize I haven’t shared what the containers mean so here’s your quick guide:

Green = Veggies

Purple = Fruit

Red = Protein

Yellow = Carbs

Blue = Healthy Fats

Orange = For oils, dressings

I started the day off with a scramble with mushrooms, peppers, and onions topped with a little cheddar and hot sauce with a side of mandarins.

1 R + 1/2 G + 1P + 1/2B

Breakfast left me hungry and unsatisfied for some reason.  So all morning long all I kept thinking about was lunch. Finally at 11:30am I caved and made a Shakeology smoothie.

Chocolate vegan Shakeology with water + spinach + banana

1R + 1G + 1P

This didn’t fill me up and it only made me more hungry.  I think it might have spiked my blood sugar too much.  So I moved on to a kale salad.

1G

That didn’t fill me up right away either but eventually my body settled down and I wasn’t so ravenous any longer.  It took about an hour-ish for that to happen.

Dinner was awesome!  Pork chop with roasted broccoli and mashed sweet potato.

2R + 1G + 2Y

Lesson learned from the day is that I really can’t do shakes as a meal (even though Shakeology can be made as meal replacements or as a snack).  My body wants food and so I’m going to stick with that.

While the first half of the day didn’t leave me satisfied, it was plenty for Scott.  He didn’t even touch his portion of the kale salad because he was completely full.

Both of us are doing this program and we are both on the same portion plan so it’s been pretty easy to plan out meals for the both of us.

Workout focused on upper body so it was all arm, shoulder, and triceps moves.  It was awesome and I felt great afterwards!  Max 30 was so cardio intense that it’s nice to have a slower pace and work with some light weights.
