The Challenge- Days 1-3

Breakfast has been good, and filling. I had cereal which was 3/4 cup homemade muesli, roasted butternut squash, apples and cranberries and almond milk. YUM!! 

At 11:15 am on day 2, I realized that I forgot my snacks. Oh no!! By noon, my tummy was growling and our office snacks were looking awfully inviting. 

At 12:30 pm on day 3, I experienced my first sugar withdrawal. Normally, I would grab a soda but not today. It's only 7 days to a habit, right? I am halfway through day 3 and I am standing strong, so far.
Lunch today was delicious. It was surprisingly filling and healthy. I chose salad for lunch today because it's pack full of veggies, nuts and protein.

Veggie Salad 


  • Spinach
  • Romain Lettuce
  • Carrots
  • Cucumber
  • Micro greens
  • Sunflower seeds
  • Black Beans
  • Red Beans
  • Celery
  • Corn (today only)
  • Cottage Cheese
  • Avocado Salsa Verde

Daily Exercise was a 10 min HIIT routine:

1 min squat jump outs, 1 min rest
1 min plank alternative leg raises, 1 min rest
1 min squats, 1 min rest 
1 min tricep dips, 1 min rest
1 min calf raises, 1 min rest

Dinner was celery with peanut butter and 2 soft boiled eggs. Dinner was lite because my salad was filling. My evening treat was a cup of salted Carmel tea. All the taste of desert without any nasty side effects. 

To summarize, days 1-3 went well. I made good choices and I am ending today feeling accomplished. I also learned that preparation is important. My mid-morning and mid-afternoon On day 2 would have been a whole lot easier had I been prepared and brought my snacks. 

I hope everyone had a successful day. Please feel free to leave a comment on how your day went.
