Week 1 of 21 Day Reset in review

Laura’s 21 Day Reset officially ended yesterday. Congrats to those who participated. I would love to hear what you learned from the reset.

I started the reset 2 weeks late, so this past week was week 1 for me.

Week 1 in Review:

Workouts:

I got 4 workouts in. I did not get any runs in though :(.

Yes…shoveling 3 feet of snow counts as a workout!

HIIT with zwow#2

Upper Body

Full Body Workout

and that is where the workout ends.  Later in the week, my daughter and I would get sick and be totally wiped out!

Meals:

Using the Racing Weight Cooking Book, I created a great week of meals.

Snacks:

-nut butter and banana toast;

– Hard boiled eggs and toast;
-Chocolate/Banana/Peanut Butter Shake;

Meals:
-5 minute burrito;
-Bean, corn, cheese quesadilla;
-tomato, beef, florentine soup;
-chipotle chicken avocado wrap;
– rosemary (I changed this to ginger)garlic chicken
-turkey & pepper over rotini;
-beef & butternut squash hash;
-steak with charred corn salsa

The recipes were super easy to makes and super yummy! I made enough to last me the week and I ate the last meal last night for dinner…PERFECT!

Things I noticed:

-Being trapped in the house during a blizzard makes it really hard to stick to the eating plan set.  Even though I had delicious food prepped and ready to go, the lure of snacks in the house were too hard to resist.  I didn’t do too badly but snacked a bit more that I wanted;

-Even though I had no where to go (thanks Blizzard of 2016), I should have gone to bed and gotten up at my regular time. My workouts were really hard because I was working out much later in the day and while the kids were up and demanding my attention;

-I need to be more mindful of the timing of my eating.  I am shooting for eating every 3 hours as well as listening to my hunger cues;

-I need to be less distracted while eating. I need to focus on eating. I noticed that I start eating a meal and it takes me almost an hour because I try to multi task and I am not focusing my attention on eating;

-I need more protein with my meals.  I was finding I was getting hungry too quickly between meals. This week, I will add a few more oz of meat to my meals;

-Following a recipes to create meals really isn’t that bad. I have always stayed away from recipes, feeling like I just wouldn’t be able to stick to them and the food taste good;

-I had forgotten the many ways to get healthy carbs in my meals.  Sweet potatoes are god but they sure can get boring very quickly

I am looking forward to some more good meals this week, continued change up in my workouts and getting out for a run.  This is #selfcare
