21 Day Fix Day 1 Review and Meal Plan

Today is Day 1 of the 21  Day Fix for me.  It's a little bit overwhelming when you first read all of the info, the meal plan, and try to get started.  I wanted to share the meal plan for my day to give you some ideas to get started.  I know as I learn the program a bit better, it will be easier to put recipes together instead of seeing a meal just by the individual colored containers.


I am only halfway through the day, and I have to say I have not been hungry!  Even with a stomach that has been used to eating constantly on the cruise, I haven't had a hunger pang or craving.  I did make sure to eat right after waking up, as I have found if I wait at all, I tend to give into my morning sweet cravings and eat things like chocolate chip pancakes.

I have myself on the highest calorie limit of the weight loss portion due to being pregnant and my starting body weight. I am not intending to lose weight, but I felt like I needed to be on the weight loss program, rather than maintenance just to get back on track and prevent myself from gaining too much pregnancy weight.  I may go to the maintenance amount in a week or two, depending on how hungry I feel.  So my alotted servings by container are: green-6, purple-4, red-6, yellow-4, blue-1, orange-1, and 6 tsp.

Breakfast: -yellow container of oatmeal with 1 tsp coconut oil stevia and cinnamon (approx 1/4 cup
                   oats cooked with 1/2 c water),
                   -purple container of fresh pineapple, mint tea with stevia

Snack: -Shakeology (counts for red container) with yellow container of almond milk, 1/4 c water, and 1 tsp almond butter
            - purple container (1/2 banana)

Lunch: -green smoothie with 2 green containers of greens, 1 red container of frozen raspberries, 
               splash of apple juice and 1/2 c. water
             - green container of broccoli, steamed
            - yellow container of quinoa with salt, pepper, and 1 tsp EVOO
            - 1 red container of chicken breast, cooked with lemon pepper and chicken broth

Snack: - green container of carrots, blue container of hummus
             - red container of greek yogurt and 1 tsp coconut oil
            - orange container of walnuts

Dinner: - 2 red containers of mahi mahi, cooked in chicken broth and spices
              - green container of asparagus, green container of greens, wilted with mahi
              - yellow container of quinoa with salt and pepper, and 1 tsp EVOO
              - dessert- 1 purple container of strawberries

Evening Snack: -red container (2 hard boiled eggs), or greek yogurt

Workout- Today was Total Body Cardio- 30 minutes.  It was pretty intense for me, as it combines weights and cardio.  There is a person to follow for modifications, which I chose to use in some form (either less impact or less weight, I didn't follow the modifier completely, as I felt like that was a bit too easy after doing T25).  A great workout that isn't just cardio.  I did use the BOSU for the ab portion, as I am not supposed to lay flat on the floor.
