Menu Plan - Week of 04/27/15

I was kind of doing the 21 day fix before, but as of this week I am going hard!  I had to change a few things in my daily routine, including working out in the morning instead of the evening, which means I now have to get up an hour earlier to make sure I can shower afterward.  I'm trying to see if that is affecting my ability to lose or if its something else.

Monday

*Workout* - Yoga

Breakfast:  Pb and Banana Smoothie with chocolate protein

Anyone who knows, I hate eggs!  I don't even like the smell of them, so I was skeptical about this protein powder.  But it turns out, it doesn't smell or taste like eggs at all and I'm thinking of getting a bigger bag for the long haul.  I tried the vanilla today and it was equally as good.
