Dear Friends,
My 1st day on FAVAO went GREAT! Check out my notes, tips, and more from my Day 1!
8am
Time to get up and start my day! I made sure to get between 6-8 hours of rest (I got 7 hours) I got ready for work, packed up my meals, snacks, and items needed to make my “metabolic booster meal”, and then headed to my office.
9am
Made my “Metabolic Booster Meal”- Banana Ice Cream
My Note: It’s not ice cream; it’s still a TASTY banana/ oatmeal protein shake! I used my Magic Bullet to make this and it worked great!
11am
Made my “Breakfast”- Egg Burrito
My Note: I HATE eggs! I decided to hard boil mine, chop them finely, then add the salsa and roll all that up in a tortilla. I then microwaved it for 1 minute. While eating it I realized that it was to “juicy”, so I think I am going to do it differently tomorrow. I ate ½ an orange as my fruit.
1:30pm
Ate my “Power Snack”- Fruit and String Cheese
My Note: SUPER EASY! I love fruit and cheese! I bought the light string cheese and ate 1 serving of dehydrated apples as my fruit, with no added sugar, since I have to work on a computer and can’t stand to be sticky.
4pm
Lunch Time- Mexican Rice Bowl
My Note: This ended up being Derrick’s favorite meal of the day! It was filling, warm, and delicious. Shredded Chicken, Black Beans, Brown Rice, Corn, Sour Cream Substitute (Non- Fat Plain Greek Yogurt), and Salsa- It almost feels like your out to lunch at Chipotle. Something I would add is a sprinkle of garlic powder, a tablespoon of fresh cilantro, and a fresh squeeze of lime.
5pm
My Note: While shopping at the mall I had a craving for a Starbucks Skinny Peppermint Mocha ( My Christmas Time Weakness), and there are only 100 calories in a grande (medium) size… I held firm and resisted the craving.
6:40pm
Running a little late-“Energy Snack”- Apple Crunch Chicken Salad
My Note: This was my FAVORITE! It is light, crunchy, tasty, and you get to eat it with crackers! Also, it was so good my mom and brother ate it and loved it as well.
7pm
My NOTE: IT’S GYM TIME~ IN MY LIVING ROOM! so happy to be working out at home with all my own items! I don’t like people watching me while I work out, so I am able to just focus on working out. The work out didn’t take me long at all, about 30 minutes or so. I did Day 1 in my FAVAO book and did all the exercises in the light purple. The First- Flies with Dumbbells (Challenging, but I liked doing these. I did them on the ball with my back flat and my feet keeping me stable.) Pg. 156 in the FAVAO book gives you directions. Second- One Arm Kneeling Row ( I did this workout using my coffee table. I wouldn’t suggest using your coffee table if it isn’t sturdy and can’t support your weight. Mine is made of teak wood and is super strong) Pg. 153 in the FAVAO book gives you directions. Third- Tricep Bench Dip ( This was easy the first set, HURT the second set, and my arms were shaking by the third set. I kept going and finished strong. I used my teak coffee table for this as well.) Pg. 173 in the FAVAO book gives you directions. Forth- Side Plank Down and Up ( I don’t know about your abs, but mine are like marshmallows right now, so I decided to do Plank Holds instead which is the beginner workout. Even though I did the Plank Holds my abs were burning by the third set) Pg. 161 in the FAVAO book gives you directions. Always remember to FINISH STRONG! YOU CAN DO IT!
9:10pm
Last meal of the day- Finally- “Dinner” BBQ Chicken and Sweet Potato Pie
My Note: This was tasty with my No Carb/No Calorie BBQ sauce from Walden Farms. I had shredded my chicken, so again I felt like I was out to dinner. For the Sweet Potato I just measured my 4 oz of them RAW and then boiled them and then added a sprinkle of cinnamon.
11:30pm
My Note: Drank my FAVAO detox tea, filled out my daily checklist for Day 1 on Pg. 38 in my FAVAO Program Book.
That’s it for Day 1!
Looking forward to day 2!
