Today's Workout
Lower Fix

First off, I must apologize to everyone following my blog. I was dishonest yesterday. When I posted yesterday I had full intentions of working out before bed. However, class being cancelled and getting home early just had me feeling really lazy. Since I worked out in the morning there was definitely less pressure to do the second workout, so I'll need to find something to get me motivated to do that second workout in the future. 

Second, I tried Shakeology today! I used a recipe from my 21-Day Fix book. 
Vanilla Chai
4 oz. water
4 oz. Chai tea, cooled
1 scoop Vanilla Shakeology
8 oz. ice
1 tsp. raw honey

I honestly had no idea what to expect but I surprisingly liked it! It was very dessert-like, so as Autumn says on the videos "It feels like a cheat meal, but it's not!" Hopefully the other flavors are just as tasty and I'll be convinced to buy more! It definitely kept me full just as long as traditional protein does and it was much quicker to prepare.

Third, the jello. Today is my youngest niece's 1st birthday and mom made jiggle finger jello! She made it sugar-free, so I thought it was a pretty safe thing to try. I'm trying to be realistic. I know that there are going to be times when I want to eat things that aren't allowed in the "fix" meal plan. To be honest, I probably could have just eaten some fresh fruit and been just as satisfied - if not more! Like I've said before, I'm hoping to continue my healthy eating habits once these 21 days are over and tonight gave me a reason why. I felt sick after eating supper tonight. I have no way of knowing what exactly caused it, but the jello was really the only thing different so I'm blaming it. It's crazy how our bodies can adjust and try to tell us things!

I don't have much else to report tonight, but I did want to provide you with details about my workout.
