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!<\/p>\n

I realize I haven’t shared what the containers mean so here’s your quick guide:<\/p>\n

Green = Veggies<\/p>\n

Purple = Fruit<\/p>\n

Red = Protein<\/p>\n

Yellow = Carbs<\/p>\n

Blue = Healthy Fats<\/p>\n

Orange = For oils, dressings<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\"Scramble<\/a><\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

1 R + 1\/2 G + 1P + 1\/2B<\/p>\n

\"Chocolate<\/a><\/p>\n

Breakfast left me hungry and unsatisfied for some reason. \u00a0So all morning long all I kept thinking about was lunch. Finally at 11:30am I caved and made a Shakeology<\/a> smoothie.<\/p>\n

Chocolate vegan Shakeology with water + spinach + banana<\/p>\n

1R + 1G + 1P<\/p>\n

\"Kale<\/a><\/p>\n

This didn’t fill me up and it only made me more hungry. \u00a0I think it might have spiked my blood sugar too much. \u00a0So I moved on to a kale salad.<\/p>\n

1G<\/p>\n

That didn’t fill me up right away either but eventually my body settled down and I wasn’t so ravenous any longer. \u00a0It took about an hour-ish for that to happen.<\/p>\n

\"Porkchop,<\/a><\/p>\n

Dinner was awesome! \u00a0Pork chop with roasted broccoli and mashed sweet potato.<\/p>\n

2R + 1G + 2Y<\/p>\n

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). \u00a0My body wants food and so I’m going to stick with that.<\/p>\n

While the first half of the day didn’t leave me satisfied, it was plenty for Scott.\u00a0 He didn’t even touch his portion of the kale salad because he was completely full.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

Workout focused on upper body so it was all arm, shoulder, and triceps moves. \u00a0It was awesome and I felt great afterwards! \u00a0Max 30 was so cardio intense<\/a> that it’s nice to have a slower pace and work with some light weights.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
