Where did I go wrong? Am I cliche?

DAY FOUR: CUCUMBER WITH HUMMUS

So I TRIED BLOG WORLD! I tried! Where Did I go wrong? HOW did they cut their cucumbers so beautifully? Blog world please enlighten me.  I got my veggie slicer and I tried to make the thin long slices. Maybe I need a longer slicer? But I could not get my cucumber slices long enough OR thick enough.

So I gave up after a couple of attempts and just cut my cucumber and got some hummus.

Will I make it again? I want to try this looks like a good idea but I need different technique or different equipment and any input would be beneficial! The meal is gluten free, vegan friendly, and dairy free.  I found it filling.  I would definitely add the red peppers next time!

In other news my dinner today was made by a friend and full of deliciousness:

<3 What would you lie to see attempted from the fixate book tomorrow? Day 4/101

The Spark of Creation

Hello Blog world,

My name is Christie and I am a fitness coach, auditor, and wife.  If you told me as recently as three years ago that I would be into health, wellness, and making a better life for myself.  I would have laughed and said that I was never that girl growing up and will never continue to be that girl.  Well, after a year of following the 21 day fix and Cize, I have to say that I love workout out and when I don't it affects my overall health.

Recently I purchased "Fixate" Autumn Calabrese's cookbook and some of the foods scare me, whether it is something I have never eaten or something that takes too long.  I love my food quick and easy.

So for those who are interested in learning more about Fixate, I will be making one recipe from it daily and blogging about it.  I will share pictures especially (what it is supposed to look like, versus how it came out), how long it took me to make, how it tastes, and my rating scale which is easy will I or won't I ever eat that particular thing again.

Oh, there's a catch, because of my PERSONAL dietary restrictions I will be making ALL recipes Gluten Free.  The ones I alter in any way, I will post the recipe.

I am also going to be following the Cize workouts for 30 days.

DAY 1: BANANA PEANUT BUTTER BLISS SHAKEOLOGY

MY RECIPE:
1 cup unsweetened almond milk
1 packet of chocolate shakeology
1/2 fresh banana
2 tsp peanut butter
5-6 ice cubes
Blend

This took me less than 5 minutes to put together.

Overall I do not like banana flavored things, HOWEVER this is AMAZING! So Yummy and smooth =) I would definitely make again!

Even though Shakeology is not certified gluten free because of where it is made, I have never had any sideffects from drinking.  Bottoms up!

Later tonight - CIZE EXERCISE 1/30
