Woke up at 5am and completed The Shift Shop's 1st day workout Speed 25. Here's a sample of the moves I did this morning....
After my workout I headed straight to the shower to get ready for Courtney's swim conference meet. I completed my meal plan Sunday night and had all the fruits and veggies prepped for the week plus I prepped ham and turkey slices, 5 bean salad, salad, hummus and water bottles. Matt and I try to discuss our dinners on Sunday nights to get the meal plan set and Kroger's grocery list started.
After getting ready, I made eggs, filled my Yeti with water, blended my Shakeology and loaded the car with the other snacks and food I had prepped. Once we arrived Courtney got ready for warm ups and I ate my eggs. I had planned space my food throughout the day so I wouldn't get hungry. So I decided not to have my fruit and saved it for lunchtime.
After talking with some of the moms, I went back to the car to listen to my personal development book "The 5 Second Rule:" for 15 minutes before volunteering. I drank my Cafe Latte shake while listening and found Cafe Latte Shakeology blended water and a teaspoon of almond butter is GREAT and allows me to save a fruit for later in the day. While I volunteered and recorded times, I drank plenty of water and didn't get hungry until around noon which was 2 hours after finishing my shake.
Once my volunteer shift was over I had fruit, sandwich meat, carrots, celery and snow pods with hummus. Then it was time to watch Courtney swim some more and I continued to drink my water and felt great throughout the day.
After Courtney swam her last stroke and we headed home but stopped first to get her a Wendy's Frosty for swimming so well!! I resisted getting a Frosty myself and just kept drinking water.
Once home I unpacked the cooler and realized I still had salad and 5 bean salad to eat so I put it on a plate and had it on the porch!! Then I had a quick 10 minute nap before taking Caroline to ballet/tap practice. Matt made chicken on the stove for dinner and then we retreated to the basement to watch the Red Sox before it was bedtime for the girls.
It was a fun summer day and I don't feel that I limited myself with my food or drink choices. I was focused on my girls and having fun with them and doing family things while still staying on track with the first day of my challenge. I know it won't be easy over the next 3 weeks, but with support from my challenge group, checking in each day and listening to my book I know I can grow stronger and be better everyday!
