Why Haven't You Started The Fix Yet??
Yes this is me, 5 weeks of the 21 day fix eating plan and workouts! I LOVE this program. It has given me more results in 5 weeks any I have gotten in a LONG time. It has taught me how to eat (because nutrition is the hardest part and you can over eat on healthy foods). This would be the perfect program for you to start if you are looking for fast results. It also qualifies you to get in the GIVEAWAY (see previous post) worth over $75, which will get you closer to your summer body goals. If you are interested in learning more about the 21 Day Fix or how to get in on my Free Love Your Body for Summer challenge group, please leave your email below or email me at kmyers12410@gmail.com . I want you to have the body you deserve.

Be-You-tiful
You are beautiful! You are the only you out there! Do not do things to change the person you are (inside or outside) because you do not think you are pretty enough, handsome enough, good enough etc. If you workout, eat healthy, do it because you want to be healthy and live longer. If you put on makeup daily or dress a certain way, do it because you want to not because you are doing it for someone else. Make changes for yourself! Be the best version of you!

Clean Eating Chocolate Protein Muffins
I am participating in a challenge called #100happydays on instagram and facebook. I think we all have an issue of not being grateful for what we have and look so much at the negative and with this yucky weather, I have fallen into this trap of negativity. So to start off the challenge, I am doing something I love to do, play with healthy recipes. I adapted this recipe from Toneitup.com (go check them out for awesome recipes and workouts). If you are on the 21 Day Fix, I would count this as a yellow container. Let me know if you try the recipe and what you add to it to make it your own :)
Chocolate Protein Muffins (serving size is 1 muffin, makes 12)
-1 cups of protein powder (I used Optimum Nutrition Gold 100% whey Vanilla)
-1 banana ripe
-2 tbsp melted coconut oil
-2 tbsp of 100% cocoa powder
-3 tbsp of chocolate chips (I used Hersheys special dark chocolate)
-1/2 cup of egg whites (or about 4 egg whites)
-3 tsp baking powder
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Place mixed batter in cupcake tins and bake for 10-15 minutes

Week 3 Review of the 21 Day Fix
ITS HERE! It has officially been 21 days! Boy time flied by! I am very excited with the results I got and am currently on Round 2. So what have a learned this week:
1. You can get results in 21 days!
2. Changing up my diet not only helped me lose some stubborn pounds but helped my energy levels, my sleeping, my mood etc.
3. I do not think I would have made it without my Shakeology. It has kept me sane and helped me power through the day. With being in a calorie deficit (you need to eat less calories to lose weight) I was afraid I would lose energy but Shakeology has helped me through without having to drink extra coffee.
4. I lost more weight in these 21 Days then I have in 3 months!!
5. I love Autumn Calabrese and her workouts! Enough said
My Results
Total over the 21 days. I lose 4.4lbs and 13 inches all over. The pictures might not look like I lost alot, but I can tell a difference in my clothes and again I do not have alot to lose, mainly gaining muscle to look more toned, which will replace the fat. I am very excited to see what Round 2 results will look like :)

Make Your Dreams A Reality While Helping Others!
I joined the Beachbody Team because I wanted to give back to people, what Beachbody has given me. I love helping others reach their goals, while still on my own journey and get paid for it. YES! I get paid to do something I love and am passionate about. You do not have to know everything and all about fitness and nutrition, I am still learning every day myself. You just need to have the drive to want to help others and get paid to do so, make your own hours, be your own boss, make some extra money to pay off those loans, go on a vacation, buy your dream house. I got to quit my job and go back to school full time while still helping my clients and reaching my own health and fitness goals. And you can do that as well! I am looking to build my team with people who are dedicated and ready to help others (there will be training included so no worries)! If you are interested in more information please leave your email below, email me at kmyers12410@gmail.com or message me on my facebook (www.facebook.com/bbckristie)

Quick and Easy Clean Eating Snacks
Happy National Nutrition Month!!! I had a request to give some ideas for quick, easy and clean snacks. I am constantly on the go and when I can stay put, I am busy (nursing school, clinicals, being a wife, cleaning jobs, being a health/fitness coach etc). I needed ideas that I could eat fast and did not take much prep time. FINALLY I came up for a list of foods that worked in my lifestyle and were still very yummy and filling. I divided them up between morning snacks and after noon snacks just because I like to have some things in the morning because of how your body uses them for energy versus the afternoon.
Morning Snacks
-Fruit with nut butter! I like to have mine before 3pm so that I use that sugar during my workouts and it doesn't store as fat later. BUT if I have a crazy sweet tooth, I will have some berries at night.
-Shakeology (oo I can't leave it off the list!). It is super quick, easy and very filling plus it will aid in your weightloss efforts and give you energy! In the morning, I mix it with fruit, spinach and water or just coffee.
-Nature Valley Crunch Bars. I like these when I do not have time to prep. They have minimal ingredients and all natural.
-Greek Yogurt with some fruit and stevia. Good source of protein that will keep you full and going until lunch
-Homemade Protein Bars. I will post the recipes this week as well
Afternoon Snacks
-Veggies and hummus! I love LOVE LOVE hummus these days. My favorite is Tribe Forty Spice. Just the right amount of kick and goes well with cucumbers and red bell peppers.
-Shakeology!!! Yes you can have it any time of day! In the afternoon I mix it with Unsweetened Vanilla Almond Milk and peanut butter or just almond milk.
-Greek Yogurt with a little agave.
-Almonds. Good source of fat that will help you feel full and give you good energy
-Nature Valley Protein Bar. Again they are fast, easy and quick to grab if I need something in a hurry out the door
-Kind Bars. They are also all natural and delicious. Try and avoid the ones high in sugar though
-Air Popped Pop Corn. stay away from the microwave kind since they have alot of unknown chemicals in them
If you have any quick and easy snack ideas, please comment below. If you are interested in Shakeology and its benefits, see my post on it or message me :)

21 Day Fix: Week 2 Review
![]() |
Total loss in 2 weeks: 2.2 lbs and 9 inches |
I am very excited to be more than half way through the 21 Day Fix. I have had so much more energy and feel awesome! What I have learned this week:
1. If you are TRULY hungry, eat! Learn to listen to your body and yes there is a difference between thinking you are hungry (not getting enough water could be your issue) and being hungry. I have been messing around a bit with the calorie range to met my activities for the day. Some days, I did add an extra veggie and carb since I was more active, like on my clinical days or when I am burning more calories in my workouts like hiking.
2. This can be a lifestyle. When I first saw the program, I was like " YOU WANT ME TO ONLY EAT THAT???" It seems weird to say that because you get alot of nutrient dense food, but I was going from eating carbs at every meal and snack to 2 a day. It is still tough some days but that is cravings, not my body saying it needs it.
3. I can eat like this and still feed my picky husband. My husband and I have very different lifestyles with it comes to food. I LOVE veggies and fruit and he doesn't go near them. It is tough some days when he is eating his burger with a roll and french fries but I just have mine bunless, sweet potato wedges and veggies. Just as filling and satisfying. I also do not spend any extra at the grocery store since I am making the same meal just changing it a bit to fit my needs. He has also been very supportive through this process along with my entire journey and I dont know what I would do without him in my corner :)
4. I can enjoy the foods I love while still getting results. I LOVE Dark chocolate. So I save a tsp a day for just dark chocolate. It keeps me sane and I love that I can still see results and enjoy it.
5. I will be doing atleast one more total round of the Fix. This program is meant to help you develop a lifestyle change. I am not at my goals yet, so I will continue with another round of the program as is but from now on, I will eat like this forever (just once I meet my goals, go up to the maintain calorie range).
My Meals
I didn't take any pictures of my meals this week but that is because I tend to eat the same sort of things. It seems boring to some, but it is what I like to do. This week though, I will make sure I make out a meal plan for the week to show everyone what I am eating and when.
My Results
This is the good stuff right? Well this is the disclaimer I would like to give. I do not like my scale. It is not my friend. I am only using the scale for blogging purposes and to show everyone to really not rely on it. This week I only lost .2 pounds. BUT I lost 4 inches! So do not just focus on a number on the scale. Why I think I have not lost pounds: I do not have much "weight" to lose, I am building muscle and I have been around this current weight before I gained all of my weight and I honestly think that everyone's body has a weight it likes to be at, therefore this "weight in pounds" might be mine (doesn't mean I am not losing body fat though and building muscle). So here are the pics for my week 2 results.

Week 1 Review: 21 Day Fix
My Week 1 Review of the 21 Day Fix
Week 1 is complete! YAY!!! I have to say that this week was a bit of a struggle but usually the first week of any new program is. I have learned alot though in just a week:
1. I was eating WAYY too much healthy food (yes you can over eat on healthy food). I was eating ALOT of peanut butter, fruit and starchy carbs and not enough veggies. I was doing Body Beast before this, tracking my macros and calories and trying to get a certain amount of carbs in a day and not watching what those carbs were.
2. I missed salads. Again, I was trying to reach a certain calorie and macro goal before so salads just didnt have enough calories in them to fit my plan before. I have one every day now and LOVE it (even got the hubby eating more salads as well)
3. I don't miss all those carbs. I was surprised because I was eating a carb at every meal (including snacks). The first day was a little difficult but by Day 7 I was fine with the 2 carbs a day.
4. I need a eat a just a little more than the plan starts for me on certain days. I am a nursing student so I have days where I am on my feet for 5-6 hours at a hospital and I need more food to fuel those days since they are not my usual days activities. I am going to add a container or two on those days to fuel me through those days (a veggies or carb on those days or an extra shakeology).
5. I missed cardio. I love LOVE love lifting weights especially since it was something my husband would do with me but I missed my cardio as well. I love that this program incorporates weights with the cardio so I get my fix of both.
