Today was quite a workout. We are really feeling it. But I love that Autumn Calbrese is no nonsense. The cast in the workouts doesn’t sit there and pretend it’s easy. They are struggling right along with us. Because each workout was filmed on consecutive days, the cast did the workout the same way we are. They were sore the same way we are. It is encouraging, it feels like we aren’t alone in this.
AAA- Arms, Abs & A** Day!
We are preparing for what I expect to be a tough weekend. I’ll try to post every day. But we will be at an event all weekend. We have 14 plus hour days, a one hour roundtrip commute, getting in our workout, and getting to a one hour meeting after we commute home. So it won’t be easy.
Today we prepped bags with two full days worth of food so that we could bring those with us each day. I’ll let you know how it turns out. There have definitely been barriers, but we aren’t letting them get in our way! We are making our health and our transformations a priority.
Below are my pics from today’s meals. We are getting a little better at this. One day at a time. I expect in the next couple weeks we will actually be making some yummy food.
Like I said, we are swamped the next 3 days, but I will do my best to post each day anyway.
Meal one was a blanched kale (that had a little too much water left in it) and 8 cashews. It was ok. At 6:30 in morning lots of cold “kale water” was not my thing. But it did the trick.Salad with a little bit of tahini dressing, marinated and grilled tofu, and a baked homemade hashbrown. The hashbrown was a total fail. Tasted like burned rubber. But everything else was delicious.“Meal” 3 is our post workout Shakeology. Actually very taste, and the sweetest thing we have all day! Yum! (I’m in the background, cooking).Meal 4 was our post workout meal. Cooked greens and peppers with black beans, tofu and a quinoa/brown rice blend. Super yummy.Meal 6. Our “big” meal. I put that in quotes because we are used to eating multiple helping of much more food than this. This is a mixture of spaghetti squash, marinara sauce, tomato sauce, spices, lentils, onions, peppers and mushrooms. That was actually really tasty. On the side we had our nuts (still haven’t incorporated these). For desert we each got half an apple.Meal 6 was carrots, a quinoa/brown rice blend and a teaspoon of nut oil. It’s actually much tastier than it looks.Meal 7 on the go. This is marinated and grilled tofu with some cooked greens.
