You say Tomato I say Tomahto

DAY THREE: TUNA SALAD

Confession time: I would normally never use something as a vessel to eat out of but I stayed true to the picture in the Fixate book.

For dinner tonight I had Tuna, Red peppers, a tsp of mustard and a tsp of olive oil. I used a Tomato to put in the mixture.  One of the things I would change was the size of the tomato I got a smallish tomato, but I would get a medium to large tomato so all my mixture could fit inside.

I really liked this! I did not make it with tarragon, as that does not always make my tummy happy, but this is gluten free and Paleo-friendly! I am still feeling full from the meal almost three hours after consuming!

21 day fix container equivalent is 1 green, 1 red and 1/2 teaspoon.

What would you like to see tomorrow?

When life gives you eggs, you got to make that omelet

DAY TWO: PORTABELLO MUSHROOM AND GOAT CHEESE OMELET 2/101
 

This one is worth posting, I slightly burnt my omelet compared to the picture in the Fixate book. The recipe was simple ingredients eggs, portabello mushrooms, I used honey goat cheese, and a teaspoon of olive oil.

The equivalent 21 day fix containers are: one green, 1 red, 1/2 blue and a teaspoon.

This meal is gluten free and Vegetarian =) so my tummy is happy, and a happy tummy is a happy Christie.

Note: this was my first time making an omelet and this was one of the reasons why I avoided this recipe.  Well I am happy to say that I would definitely make this again! Also, for MANY years I avoided goat cheese because I thought it would taste weird but I tried it on a whim and LOVE it.

Another note, I did not end up doing the cize exercise Friday, BUT I am planning on starting today and having my rest day be Saturday.

Until tomorrow!

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
