My 18 day fix journey & starting it all over again!

Hello my beautiful friends!
 
Welcome back to my blog, so today would have marked my 21 days, however there was big bumps on the road and I totally failed by day 18.
 
I want to start off by sharing that my second week was the best week ever. I did every workout & followed my diet exactly how I should have. I was feeling great and I was actually 5lbs down!!!
 
Here's everything that went wrong for me the third week
 
1. I had more than 4 ounces of wine.
 
2. I some how started adding some popcorn into my diet.
 
3. On Monday I had a huge cramp on my leg in the morning, so I skipped the morning workout.
 
4. thinking about doing the double workout made me start to avoid my workouts
 
5. My cramp on my calf left me with so much pain it made it impossible to do anything but yoga & Pilates.
 
6. I started to feel unmotivated due to not being able to workout on DOUBLE days.
 
7. Then I just wanted to quit & start all over again, it was day 18 & it just made more sense to STOP & start again once my calf was better.
 

 
I had this raspado with ice cream! It was delicious, then for dinner I had guacamole & chips at chillis.
 
For the next few days I focused on stretching until my calf felt better. My diet was pretty much 21 day approved still but probably a bit more carbs. Didn't go crazy with junk foods at all tried to continue with eating healthy until I was ready to start again!
 
Saturday I started my day with DAY 1 all over again.  
 
I wanted o share one of the meals that i'm planning for the week
 
Spaghetti Squash Chicken Alfredo
Ingredients
 
Spaghetti squash
Alfredo sauce
Chicken
Coconut oil
Salt & Pepper
 
 
I poked the squash with a knife & microwaved for 10 minutes.
You can also bake it if you want.
Once its ready cut it in half & with a fork pull out all the "spaghetti"
 
 
Mixed spaghetti squash, with your favorite Alfredo sauce & your cooked chicken & your done.
 
 
 
Here's to failing & starting all over again but never giving up.
 
My feelings towards this program is that it works, its amazing but it continues to be hard sticking to your goals and having to say NO to so many things but its worth it. Right away I start to feel so much better. I have to disagree with the quote " if your tiered of starting over don't give up" I mean in the perfect world I love it but I think I can relate more to something like this. Star over as many times as it takes until you reach your goals, because it really doesn't matter how many times you fall down as long as keep getting right back up.
 
I lost 5lbs In the first 18 days of the fix, but I gained a great start to having a better relationship with healthy foods.
 
- stay positive.
xoxo Karla

My plant based lifestyle

Do the best you can   until you know better. Then when you know better, do better.  Hello my beautiful friends!! It's been so long since I've felt inspired to write again. My life has changed so much recently & thankfully only for the better. I have found it hard to share my new journey only because more than anything I respect each and every one of you & the decision you guys make. By sharing my journey & thoughts I hope that you always remember I come from a place of love & only sharing my journey with you.   I have written this many times during the last 6 months & can't bring myself to find the right words, in ways that makes it easier to understand. I realized its a sensitive topic & I understand that but it's part of who I'm now & if you love to keep reading I would appreciate it but if you don't I understand it.     I feel like I've always been exposed to vegetarian food, vegan foods and mea...

Stay hydrated with 3 easy recipes

Hello my beautiful friends! I have talked about the importance of water in previous posts & how I keep up with my water intake. Believe me i'm not perfect with water intake there's days where I forget or just not too interested in drinking plain boring water. This is why I love to plan ahead and purchase 3 ingredients that make delicious infused water. All you need is berries, lemon & cucumbers. If you guys haven't had infused water you are missing out, it will make your water have so much flavor & it just feels so refreshing. There are great benefits of having infused waters as well. The biggest benefit I have seen is just since it looks pretty & it has a taste I actually tend to drink it more thru out my day. I would love to share with you guys how you can mix & match these ingredients and make different combinations with great benefits. You can defiantly get fancier than this but this is what works for me because its easy to make, with ingredient...

Week one on 21 day fix!

Hello my beautiful friends !!!     I have actually completed week 1 of 21 day fix & I have learned so much already. Today its actually day 11 for me so on Monday I will be completing week 2!   I just wanted to update you guys on how its been going for me. I have to start by saying this program is amazing, I have learned so much about portion control & seeing food in a different way. I promise every time I see someone's plate I think about what portions it is & what container it belongs in.   The first two days I think were hard for me. I felt a bit hungry & lost through out the day. I was not enjoying the foods that I was eating much & I was having too much salads. By now I've been feeling so much better, I'm adapting very well to my portions that sometimes its hard to finish eating all the containers that I need to eat.   So here's 11 things I've learned on my 21 day fix journey !   FYI. My diet consists of 3 gree...
