21 Day Fix - Week 1 Meal Plan!

Okay, so I'm a few days behind posting this, but I really want to show y'all what Tyler & I have been eating this week.  We sat down on Sunday to come up with a meal plan that would work for both of us.  There are a few modifications for each of us, but this is essentially what we've been eating each day.

Here is the general container breakdown for each meal:
Breakfast - 1 red, 1 yellow, 1 purple, 1 teaspoon (Tyler subs 1 blue for yellow)
Lunch - 1 red, 1 yellow, 1 green, 1 teaspoon (Tyler adds 1 green)
Dinner - 1 red, 2 green, 1 orange (sometimes there may be a teaspoon here, depending on cooking method)
Snack 1 - 1 red
Snack 2 - 1 purple
Snack 3 - 1 green, 1 purple, 2-3 teaspoons

So far I have stuck very closely to the meal plan, and substitutions have stayed within the containers allotted for each meal.  I have been feeling pretty satisfied all day long.  The only thing I've been struggling with this week is getting enough water, but I really just need to be more mindful of drinking a little here and there to fix that issue.

We have also bee doing the assigned 21 Day Fix exercise programs each day.  Each day has a different 30 minute video.  Monday was the Total Body Cardio Fix - this was a killer workout!  Tyler & I have been doing an outdoor bootcamp fitness program for the past year+, which is an hour long, and this cardio workout really gave us a run for our money, in half the time we would normally spend working out.  Tuesday was the Upper Fix - lots of upper-body workouts, plus some ab work thrown in for fun.  I ended up modifying quite a bit of this workout (either using only 1 10 lb. weight instead of 2, or dropping weights altogether), because my lighter sets of weights are in my car, which happens to be in the shop at the moment.  Yesterday was the Lower Fix, which has a lot of lunges, squats, and other fun exercises to get your legs and butt in great shape.  Leg day is always a favorite of mine, and yesterday was no exception.  Autumn Calabrese is the creator & trainer for the 21 Day Fix, and she includes a lot of creative exercises in each program, working you basically the entire thirty minutes to get awesome results.  Tonight is Pilates Fix, which I know is a killer workout!

Finally, I wanted to let you know that I am hosting a free, 1 week fitness challenge group on Facebook.  I am challenging the members to commit to working out 5 days out of the week, posting about each workout on our Facebook group page, and offering advice and support to the other members.  If this sounds like something you'd be interested in joining, please comment below (please leave an email address!) and I will get in touch with you.  Hope you are having a GREAT week!
