Jo Dee Messina: Day 1 on the fix

Tuesday August 5  - 21 Day Fix Post


Today is a definite “think ahead” day.  This evening I will have to pack my food for 2 days.  I leave the house at 5am and head to the airport.  I have a 7:45am flight to Salt Lake City for a show late at night.  I’m changing time zones, so my day will be extra long.  Traveling to a different city and spending days in airport and on plane, I will not have a “predictable” food provider.  So, I’m just gonna pack my meals. 

Tuesday I will have Shakeology when I get up at 4:45am 
I’m planning on cooking egg whites tonight so that, that can be my meal on the plane.  Replaceing the complimentary pretzels of peanuts ;-)

My day is extra long, ending with a show.  Shows are like workouts, so with my 21 day fix workout and a show, I’m adding a meal.  Keeping my schedule to, eating something every 2 1/2 - 3 hrs.
Wednesday will be a 20 hour day with workout, travel and show. 


Thursday is a travel day starting, again, at 5am Nashville time.  I know my body.  I will be too tired to even think about food, food prep, etc. 

To those who travel - TSA is miserable to carry things through.  Easy, non liquid, snacks / meals to travel with :

Apple and Almonds
Quinea stir fry
Shakeology Poweder   ( buy water beyond security ) 
Oatmeal with blueberries and almonds
Cut Veggies - carrots, red and yellow peppers with blue container of hummus 

The first workout of 21 Day Fix, was not easy.  This is what I did today

7am 30 minute run
8 Sakeology
9 21 day Fix Workout
10:50  Egg whites, onions1/2 Ezekiel wrap and SLIVER of avocado 
1:30  Kale/spinach salad with red peppers, broccoli, cauliflower, sunflower seeds and apple cider vinegar 
6:30   Tilapia, spinach and sweet potato 

I missed a snack due to running errands.  All my foods are pre packed for next 2 days including all of my container servings.

Recipe Thursday: Fall Detox Vegetable Soup

Image
I am a Boston girl born and raised but honestly I am cold more often than not. For that reason as soon as summer ends I start to get sad and panic about how I am going to keep myself warm all winter. One way that works for me is to make a lot of warm soups so that I can warm myself up from the inside out!  When I posted the choices for this week's Recipe Thursday , the concern over the word "detox" was thoroughly entertaining. Trust me, I get it. In the past, the word detox meant spending an entire day in the....well you get the point. As I came to learn more about nutrition I began to understand that "detox" does not mean that you will not be able to leave your house for days, all it means is that you are cleansing your body of toxins in a healthy way.  I kid, I kid...my point is that the Fall Vegetable Detox Soup was the winner this week and eating it does not mean that you will have to cancel your plans for the day. I found this soup reci

Anthony Kiedis: Over 50 and Red Hot

Image
When Anthony Kiedis from the Red Hot Chili Peppers came on stage Sunday night the first thing that came to my mind was, "damn, he looks good". The second thing was, "I wonder how old he is". So obviously I went right to google and did some research. The information I found went above and beyond what I was expecting to learn. Anthony is 51 years old. He is a dad of a 5 year old boy who is named after his favorite band, his godfather was Sonny Bono, and he was voted sexiest male vegan by PETA. Because he seems so fit and healthy, it surprised me to learn that Anthony had actually been an avid drug user and heroin addict in the past. He even contracted the hepatitis C virus from his experimentation. He was addicted to some bad things, that were draining his life. These days instead of shooting heroin, Kiedis is addicted to things that are actually good for him. He focuses on his health, fitness, and family. Although I wasn't in as deep as Anthony, I
