eating clean, healthy, & being happy

I did a great job with my steps. No Starbucks. I did have some popcorn that isn't shown. overall a pretty good day. I know I am making progress when my after dinner snack is a grape salad and some carrots. seperate not together. #21dayfix #autumncalabrese #whatsthedealwiththesecontainers #sweateveryday #lowerfocus #eathealthy #eatclean #portioncontrol #mealprep #mealplanning #dl70494 #firsttimemom #fitmama #firsttimemama #breastfeeding #superfood #healthyhabits #healthymeals #fitbit #healthymama

we had an appointment with the U.S. Consular in Zurich to apply for Ellington's U.S. birth certificate, passport, and SSN. I knew it would be a long morning so I started my day off right with the healthiest meal of the day and added some veggies (kale) and fruit (banana) to keep me full. How do you prepare for early and long mornings? #swisslife #swissbaby #firsttimemom #firsttimemama #ellingtonzuri #dl70494 #zurich #shakeology #veganstrawberry #mealreplacement #superfood #dailydose #dailydrinker #healthyhabits

look at my baby! he is 8 weeks old today. Ellington is sporting a vintage nightgown circa 1982 worn by daddybeefs. today was a sad day for me because I had to pack away some of Ellington's clothes that he has outgrown. #ellingtonzuri #8weeks #vintagebaby #vintagefashion #daddybeefs #circa1982 #brudderbeefs #newbornbaby #newbornlife #newmama #firsttimemama #firsttimemom #dl70494

not to bad for a holiday! yes, yesterday was a holiday in Switzerland. I had plenty of water, one too many Starbucks drinks, and not enough protein for the day. #dl70494 #shakeology #twoaday #swisslife #veggies #breastfeeding #exclusivelybreastfeeding #superfood #healthymama #fitmama #21dayfix #autumncalabrese #upperfix #sweateveryday

getting back into my morning routine! * take my magnesium, wait 30 minutes * shakeology! I usually make myself drink 500 ml of water before I drink shakeology. *feed Ellington, change diaper, snuggle. *workout! it's only 30 minutes. I can do it! day 3 of 3 for workouts and feeling awesome, but definitely sore and feeling lower fix! ouch! little Ellington is being so supportive with my workouts. #shakeology #veganshakeolpgy #21dayfix #autumncalabrese #upperfix #legday #firsttimemom #firsttimemama #newmom #newmama #mamabear #ellingtonzuri #healthymama #fitmama #dl70494

2 for 2 and going strong! one minute of push-ups gets me every time. I was shocked that Ellington slept through the workout, but I got my workout in and now I am all his for the rest of the day! #21dayfix #autumncalabrese #sweateveryday #healthymama #healthyhabits #itsdoesntgeteasieryoujustgetstronger #dl70494 #newbornlife #firsttimemom #babynapsmamaworksout #fitmama #mamalife

these days it's all about multitasking! I love that I can enjoy my breakfast while feeding Ellington. it works perfectly for both of us! it's a win win! #shakeology #veganstrawberry #veganshakeolpgy #veganchoices #addkale #breakfast #breastfeeding #firsttimemom #ellingtonzuri #newbornbaby #healthymama #healthyhabits #healthymeals #dl70494

meal planning and food prep for the week is done! I am ready to rock another week of the 21 Day Fix Meal Plan. I was released by the doctor on friday so this week I am also able to start the exercise portion of the 21 Day Fix. I did my workout this morning and I can already tell I am going to be sore tomorrow! woot. woot. #21dayfix #autumncalabrese #fixate #mealprep #mealplanning #foodprep #portioncontrol #whatsthedealwiththesecontainers #eatclean #eathealthy #firsttimemom #totalbodycardio #firstworkoutsincebaby #healthymeals #healthymama #healthyhabits #dl70494

checkout my workout buddy, Ellington. he did really well through the workout. he gave me high fives after each move. reminded me to drink after during the rest breaks, but did not enjoy the last 5 minutes of total body cardio. and yes, he is wearing his "Halloween" costume in December. mama has got to get some use out of these tiny onesies before he outgrows them. #workoutbuddy #accountability #firstworkoutsincebaby #firsttimemom #dl70494 #ellingtonzuri #healthymama #healthyhabits #fitmama #nevermissamonday #totalbodycardio

of course, I started my week off right with a delicious shake! not so funny story as I was making my shake this morning, I spilled it everywhere, right before I put the lid on it to blend. I could have let that spill mess up my whole day or even week. did I? no, I cleaned it up! made my shake! enjoyed! and started the week off right. don't let one little mistake get in your way! #shakeology #veganchocolate #veganchoices #justaddkale #mealreplacement #nevermissamonday #dl70494 #positivevibes

as promised...here is my first sweaty selfies since Ellington's arrival! total body cardio killed me today. I will be sore tomorrow, no doubt! #21dayfix #autumncalabrese #totalbodycardio #nevermissamonday #healthymama #fitmama #firsttimemom #dl70494 #sweateveryday

so I got behind with posting this weekend. mostly because food prep on Sunday took all day. I walked a lot of Saturday and wore myself out. we slept until 10am on Sunday and I nibbled as I was good prepping for the week. good news, all my nibbles were healthy. #21dayfix #autumncalabrese #whatsthedealwiththesecontainers #fixate #fixmas #dl70494 #foodprep #mealprep #mealplanning #firsttimemom #superfood #healthymama #healthyhabits #healthynibbles

Friday's food check in...I am struggling to get in all of my green and purple containers each day. You know things are getting serious when as an after dinner sweet treat you have kiwi. #autumncalabrese #21dayfix #whatsthedealwiththesecontainers #cleaneating #portioncontrol #mealprep #mealplanning #kiwi #dl70494 #healthymama #healthymeals #healthyhabits #firsttimemom #newbornlife

another yummy, delicious dinner recipe brought to you by Fixate! loved by both tony and I...this will be a regular meal at our house. this is a meal that you could prepare a day or two ahead and then just put in the oven to bake. #21dayfix #fixate #fixatecookbook #autumncalabrese #whatsthedealwiththesecontainers #dl70494 #healthymama #healthyhabits #healthymeals #firsttimemom #mealplanning #mealprep #mealprepping #favorite
