Still going strong. Down 7.5 lbs at this 1/2 way mark. Haven't retaken my measurements yet. Plan on doing that day 21.

I paper track with a color-coded pie tracker that I found on Pinterest. I also changed my MPF meals to the containers.

On tap for today: B: Greek yogurt (R), mixed fresh fruit (P) S: celery (G), peanut butter (2 t) L: brown rice ziti (Y), tomatoes/broccoli (G), soy crumbles (1/2 R), garden salad (G), sunflower seeds/dressing (O) S: pistachios (B), crudités (G), cilantro chive yogurt dip (1/2 R) D: Morningstar vegan patty (R), fresh berries…

No headaches for me. Wishing you pain-free days ahead!

I'd probably count it as a yellow swap. My go-to Starbuck's drink is 21 Day Fix friendly--Iced Passion, light on the ice, no classic. :)

Here's what's on tap for today. B: egg whites (R), broccoli (G), mixed fresh fruit (P), Greek yogurt (R) S: celery (G), pb (2 t) L: Cuban black beans (R), avocado (B), golden cherry tomatoes (G), strawberries (R) S: sunflower seeds (O) D: steamed green beans (G), roasted sweet potatoes (Y x2), Morningstar bbq riblet (R)

Give the smoothies a try and see if that helps. They are an easy way to get multiple containers of P, G, or R at one time.

Ditto the recommendation to explore Pinterest. I created a 21 Day Fix inspired board, if you are interested: http://www.pinterest.com/karenoll/clean-eating-healthy-living/

My plan is to meal prep this morning or tomorrow. I have the next four weeks off from work from summer vacation, so plenty of time to devote to healthy meals and moving my body. I actually started the 21 Day Fix a day before the challenge group, so today marks my 1 week weigh in. Here's the skinny on the first week: Scale…

I liked having this active recovery day too. Felt nice.

Slept in til 11 am, so brunch this morning instead of breakfast, AM snack, and lunch. Brunch: roasted red potatoes with rosemary (2 Y), Morningstar veggie sausage (R), hardboiled eggs (R), pineapple/melon/strawberries/grapes (P) S: celery (G), peanut butter (2 t), pistachios (B) D: Boca griller (R), steamed green beans…

Agreed. It's a solid workout. The Renegade and I were not on friendly terms though.

Here's what's cooking for today: B: raspberries (P), egg whites (R), broccoli (G), roasted red potatoes (2 Y), veggie breakfast sausage (1/2 R) S: celery (1/2 G), peanut butter (2 t) L: quinoa (1/2 R), cucumber/onion/tomato (1/2 G), dressing (1/2 O), feta (1/2 B) S: golden cherry tomatoes (G), pistachios (1/2 B) D: Boca…

Day 5 Cardio Fix was my least favorite workout so far. Not really any moves that I particularly loved nor dreaded. I may swap out for a different 30 minute cardio routine next week. I'm a daily scale hopper. I reset my tracker at the start of the 21 Day Fix. Froggie is moving along nicely. Family reunion this weekend at a…

I know the feeling. When temptation strikes to deviate from plan, I use distraction techniques. Here's a few: -Head over to Pinterest and Pin some motivational quotes -Read a book -Make a mug of tea -Read over a list I made that includes 100 reasons I want to return to a healthy weight -Chat with a loved one while I take a…

Congrats on the nice dip in the scale!:smile:

You can eat the peel? SUHWEET!!! I didn't know that! hate peeling those little suckers [/quote] Yep. Totally edible. It's like a thick, fuzzy grape skin. Some people like it, others don't. Give it a try. Another option instead of peeling: Split in half and scoop out with a spoon.

Here's what's on tap for today. B: blueberries (P), plain Green yogurt (R), egg whites (R), broccoli (G) S: cherry tomatoes (G), pistachios (1/2 B) L: quinoa (R), feta (1/2 B), cucumber/onion/tomato (G), dressing (O), melon/pineapple/berries (G) S: celery (G), peanut butter (2 t) D: roasted red potatoes w/ rosemary (2 Y),…

Love kiwi -- peel and all ;)

Small world. I'm a bit east of Redmond.

Here's today's plan. It looks similar to yesterday, with some minor adjustments. B: berries (1P), All Whites with fresh basil (1 R), ww toast (1 Y), almond butter (2 t) S: cottage cheese (1/2 R), mixed fresh fruit (1 P) L: Boca griller (1 R), mixed greens (1 G), feta/pecans (1/2 B), dressing (1/2 O) S: yogurt dip with…

For some vegetarian meal ideas, here's what I ate yesterday.

[/quote] felt all my bra fat melting away ;) [/quote] :smile:

Glad you were successful in making some adjustments to the plan. I'm hitting around 1200 cals most days. A tad on the low side, since my exercise is usually in the 300-400 range. I'm going to stick to the plan for this week and see how it goes, but am considering adding another container of red or green.

I'm a fan of water with lemon. It's my main drink of choice. I'm fortunate to live in the foothills of the Cascades. Our tap water is straight from aquifers. Better than bottled water ;) Most days I get in around 100 oz.

myepsen: Kudos to you for tracking, so that you could realize your cals were on the low side. Some quick thoughts of ways to modify your menu to up the cals: -Swap out 1or 2 egg whites for a whole egg -Add another teaspoon of PB. (Unless I missed it, you only had 1 spoon listed.)

ccarew77: Healing wishes for that knee of yours. jewelsnyc: I’m joining you in going soda-free for the 21 days. Switching over to seltzer.

Hope your kit arrives early today. I plan on continuing to track while on the 21 Day Fix so I can monitor my sodium/sugars intake as well as my carb/protein/fat percentages.

Thanks for starting the challenge :)

I prepped my fruit/veggies over the weekend. A nice big kale salad, fresh mixed fruit salad, mixed fresh berries, and crudités. My purples and greens are ready to go.
