Days 2-5: Pushing Harder

This week has been all about pushing myself just a little bit harder each day.  The first few days were a little rough as I adjusted to eating a lot more food than I am use to.  Each day I would try to eat a little more to build up to where I'm expected to be. 

The good news is that I learned that I was over calculating how much liquid eggs whites I needed to eat.  Five true egg whites are a lot less!  Totally made a difference in my entire breakfast experience!  I also learned how to make my protien shake taste good so that I can actually finish it!  I look forward to drinking them now!  I just added a little pb2 (powdered peanut butter)



Because I was already working out some, the weight lifting part isn't bothering me too much.  Some of the exercises were tough but I did them all.  I absolutely love the soreness you get after a great workout!  The pain means progress so it makes me feel like I'm accomplishing something.

I'm proud to report that I am down a few pounds from when we started and I now weigh the lowest I have since probably a month into my pregnancy!  I'm hoping in the next few weeks I can finally reach my pre-pregnancy weight!!

Today, tomorrow and Sunday are all rest days so we won't be working out, but we will continue to stay on the nutrition plan and I hope to come up with a few new recipes for the week.  Even though it is an adjustment it is amazing how many awesome looking clean eating recipies there are!
