Day 2

I got on the scale this morning, and I was down 1.5 lbs! I was really surprised, but I was happy to see that my body had not gone into starvation mode. Woop!

Today was a weird day. I woke up really hungry and ate my way through the morning...and then I just wasn't feeling it. I didn't get near the fruit/veggies I was supposed to. I need to really make them a priority.

Today's workout was the Upper Body Fix. I didn't really like it, mainly because my weights aren't in and I only have a band. I couldn't figure out what the band lady was doing half of the time, and I felt like my momentum was interrupted by that. Plus, my two-year old was cranky. I pushed through, though, and I'm hoping for a better one tomorrow. I am pretty sore today; I am looking forward to a hot bath here shortly. :)

Breakfast--Protein powder + water [red]
 Toast w/coconut oil/honey/cinnamon [yellow] (This was sooo good! I didn't even miss the butter.)

Lunch:
Whole wheat tortilla [yellow]
Refried beans [yellow]
Cheese [blue]
Green beans [half a green]

(I used this recipe.)

I was going to do some fruit and yogurt, but I just wasn't feeling it tonight. I am full! It is a lot of food. I need to make sure I am eating more fruit and veggies, though, and not just filling up on carbs and protein.
