PiYo Meal Plan & Progress: Week 2

Happy Friday!
So I'm almost two weeks into PiYo and....I'm loving it! I honestly really am enjoying the break from my T25-like workouts. But I'm STILL getting a killer workout. See: sweat selfies below lol.
Piyo totally challenges my OWN body strength without any equipment. My body is my resistance and it feels SO good to workout this way. I feel way more flexible I feel really in-tune to my body. My tricep pushups we're way better this morning than even just a few days ago. It's awesome to FEEL your body getting stronger. This is a great workout for me because I could never get into yoga alone...I couldn't hold poses and I definitely wasn't clearing my mind! A faster pace version mixed with pilates, strength training and cardio is RIGHT up my ally.

found my inner strength to pull through that workout

I shared my week 1 meal plan with you in this blog post. I love having a plan in place, even if I veer off it a bit! Last week I documented all of my food with pictures and then shared them on Facebook.
Below is a look into last weeks food!

I even survived 2 boat days!! I wasn't 100% perfect, but I'm pretty proud of myself for how I did do. I may switch up my meal plan or not follow it all the way (I like to go with the flow) but I almost always plan it out because its easy to get off track if you don't have some sort of guide to follow! So I definitely suggest taking some time to do that. It may take some time to figure out everything in the beginning but its really worth it! It will save you time later in the week and it will also save you money in the grocery store. Time and money- don't want to waste any of that!

The other thing I've been noticing is that I haven't been drinking as much water as I need to! (1/2 your body weight in oz. of water). I even went a whole day without drinking ANY water, so I had to chug chug chug at the end of the day to get it all in. Hey! Do what you gotta do! Especially in the summer, make sure you're drinking at least your recommended amount.

I hadn't planned my week until Monday night. For some reason I wasn't feeling very hungry on Monday so I definitely didn't meet my numbers in terms of food categories. Here is my Week 2 Meal Plan:

Monday

Lunch: egg whites with fresh garden veggies
Dinner: chili
After dinner: 2nd Shakeology

So there you have it! I sketched out my meal plan in a notebook, and I roughly counted how many food groups I was getting each day. Everyday I adjust accordingly! Either adding something or taking away so I don't go over suggested calorie baseline.



Working on a better positive self image

There are still a few spots open in my 30 Day Summer Refresh Facebook challenge group! For details click here! I will be starting my 3 Day Refresh cleanse next week!! I'm so excited. Be on the lookout for my review on that.
