Day 3 of 21, the mean, mean stairs!

Day 3 was started at 5:15am when my sweet toddler decided to wake up calling for me. While I served him a delicious looking strawberry muffin I ate half a banana (1 Purple) and gave him the other half (to go with his yummy looking, divine smelling, muffin). 

I still am not able to drink my coffee black but again used considerably less creamer and sugar. 

I packed my goodies for today and they looked like this: 

I planned out the following for my lunch/snacks at work: 

Breakfast: Oatmeal (1 Yellow), Grapes (1/2 purple) a bit later, ok kinda a snack, I had a Greek yogurt (1 Red).

My trek up and down the stairs at work was so much FUN! I noticed the steps aren't a solid color and that it's mostly quiet in there. That's what happens when you take them slowly as a result of sore thighs. Oh but it will be so worth it <~today's mantra. 

Moving along... 

Lunch looked like this:
Spring mix lettuce and a mix of Tomato and Cucumber (2 Green), topped with Tuna (1 Red) and salsa (1/2 Purple) which I enjoyed piling into my 2 small tortillas (1 Yellow). 

My afternoon snack was cashews (1 Blue) this is 8-10 pieces. 

I had about 40oz of water by this time and decided that it was ok to have another cup of coffee (exhaustion runneth over). This Cup O' Joe was rawr-some and low on sugar and creamer. Man I needed it! 

Tonight I got to work out before dinner because my Partner was home and he was able to take over kiddo duty while I got my work out in. My friend Kristi joined me.

The workout tonight focused on the "lower" half of the body. Lots of squat-y, bend-y, leg moving things with my 5lb weights. Autumn made us hold our poses when they were most painful.... Mean! But probably the good kind of mean... Ok no whining. 

Dinner consisted of: 
Chicken (1-1/2 Red), Spring mix lettuce, cucumber, tomato and carrot mixture (2 Greens), and a teeny bit O' salsa and white wine vinegar for flavor. Man this was good! I also ate 1 hard boiled egg (1/2 Red) and enjoyed a lime flavored sparkling water. 

I feel good. I feel like the workouts are hard but I feel more confident about them everyday. 

I can do this. 
Day 3 down... 18 more to go!
