Sometimes I have good ideas. Other times, I’m just an idiot. My friend Jennifer is a health coach (check out her fancy website here: jennifernarula.com) and I thought:
“Hey.. why don’t I join her health group for the month of March? Support her new job thingy”
“GREAT IDEA KAT. Maybe we’ll shed a pound or two. Get some fitness!”
“Totally! Maybe we’ll look like Buff Bunny at the end!!”
“YASSS”
Hi fives self.
There are times when I do talk to myself…… It helps me feel less crazy? Today is day 1 of the 21 Day Fix Plan. I already kinda eat healthy-ish so this should be cake right? O.o Nope. I spent about 3-4 hours in my kitchen yesterday cooking meals for a few days. I think I’m doing it wrong because I don’t think it’s suppose to take that long to do! AND I didn’t even finish :O Here’s the breakdown of my meals for today:
Meal 1: 2 hard boiled eggs & yogurt
Meal 2: grapes (snack)
Meal 3: ground turkey w/ corn, green bell peppers, and onions and cilantro lime rice
Meal 4: celery w/ Peanut butter (snack)
Meal 5: salad w/ chicken, avocado, homemade vinaigrette, and pumpkin seeds
Meal 6: carrots (snack)
Yes, 6 meals. Maybe that’s why it took me so long to prep. I’m pretty excited to eat some of this stuff (hey…I like food!) but I hope I don’t get tired of repetitive meals. I like fresh food so I’ll be cooking in the middle of the week–STEAK TACOS FTW! I never made it to the carrots. Just wasn’t hungry enough I spose. Can’t force myself to eat….while dieting…. That would be strange!
If anyone is interested in this process or want to see more, I can post a more detailed blog of it. Otherwise, I’ll just comment on it in comparison to my life and how I’m liking it. I’ve been told that I can only eat 2 servings of 3/4 of a cup of carbs (got that?). No carbs=no energy for Kat. Also, I can only have THREE GLASSES OF RED WINE ONLY. How do you tell a lady that you can ONLY drink THREE glasses of (ONLY) red wine? What about straight up whiskey?? That’s like a healthy carb right? I do hope that I’ll be able to make it through this process. I do love my beverages. Oh.. And caffeine? Black coffee only. My kidneys want to turn over just thinking about it. I’m resorting to the caffe americanos with a splash of nonfat milk and sugar free (YES SUGAR FREE) vanilla syrup. I am seriously becoming a new woman. Possibly angry new woman 😉
Wish me luck.
