Day 1: Slow Cooker Steak Fajitas

Well, since I'm doing the 21 Day Fix, I figured I should really document my progress and struggles.

Day 1...hard.

I didn't think it was going to be a walk in the park, but man was I hungry all day.

I started breakfast with Cafe Latte Shakeology, 1/2 organic banana with 1 tsp organic peanut butter.
I sipped a cup of hot water with freshly squeezed lemon throughout the morning.


I did my Sunday workout at the gym while my husband was at home with the kids. Luckily, I have the Cize workout now because I can't go to the gym with my kids while they're sick :(

After my workout I had the other 1/2 of the banana and another tsp of peanut butter.


I was STARVING come lunchtime and I had 1 baked chicken breast, rice, and peas (which I later found out that peas counted as a yellow container or carb)


I munched on some baby carrots and wholly guacamole for another snack.

Dinner was amazing...Slow Cooker Steak Fajitas (Recipe to follow) on a tortilla with lots of veggie toppings!


Phew...day 1 was definitely an eye-opener. I know I really have to push myself to keep up with everything and finally succeed in my goals!

I thank you and hope you continue to follow my journey.



Steak Fajitas

1 1/2 lbs steaks (I used sirloins)
Chili powder
Cumin
Coriander
Salt
Pepper
2 Tbs soy sauce
1/2 onion, chopped
3 garlic cloves, grated
4 bell peppers, chopped
Tortillas


Start by rubbing the spices onto the steaks and placing them into the slow cooker. Add the soy sauce.


Top and then add the peppers, onion, and garlic.


Turn the slow cooker on high for about 5 hours, or until meat pulls apart easily.
