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.

My MealsMy meals varied from day to day because we all need a little change in life but I do enjoy eating some of the same things every day like my breakfast and snacks. I CRAVE them daily, which is perfect because it keeps my grocery bill down and helps me stay on track. So below are some of my meals for the day including what containers they fill. I will be posting some of the recipes for them through out the rest of my challenge :)

2 Green, 1 Red (Chicken Meatball), 1 Orange

1 Red (Vanilla Shakeology) and 1 Purple (Pineapple and Strawberries)

My ResultsI am pleased with my results seeing as its only been 1 week. I do not have alot of weight (lbs) to lose so I will not realistically lose 10-15lbs in the 21 days but I am happy I have started to lose inches as well. I lost a total of 2 lbs and 4 inches over my body. I can definitely see a difference in my stomach. I apologize now for the pic being in my bra. I figured it covered more than my swim suits anyways haha.

21 Day Fix: What is it?

The 21 Day Fix! What is it? What can you expect? Does it get results?

I received my 21 Day Fix pack this weekend and I am soo excited to start tomorrow (Monday Feb 24). I have already planned out my meals and packed them for tomorrow so I will stay on track. I will be posting weekly on my progress, my ups and downs and a real life account of how the program works. But enough about me, lets get to talking about the program itself!

What is it and what does it include?

It is a 21 day program with 7 different workouts (8 if you order through a coach). Every day, you will be doing a different workout that works different muscle groups. They include cardio, total body, upper body, lower body, Pilates, yoga and dirty 30 (pretty excited about this one). Along with the workouts, you get portion control containers along with a nutrition guide to help you pick healthy choices while eating at home or out (I will explain in a bit). These take all the guess work out of nutrition. You eat what fits in the containers. If you order the challenge pack, you also get a 30 day supply of Shakeology! It is part of the meal plan and will get you maximum results during your 21 days.

What are these containers?

Each container has its on purpose. They include: Protein, Carbs, Veggies, Fruits, Nuts or healthy fats, Seeds and dressings, and you get teaspoons as well that are nut butters and oils. Depending on your weight, you are assigned a certain number of each containers. For example, I am in the 1200-1499 calorie range, therefore I get 4 proteins, 2 carbs, 3 veggies, 2 fruits, 1 healthy fat, 1 seed and 2 teaspoons. You just put as much food that fits into its container and then eat it! SIMPLE! And trust me, the containers may look small but I packed my food for tomorrow and you get ALOT in those containers. You are also allowed treats through the program 3 times a week (wine, chocolate oo my!).

What kind of results will I expect?
The test group lost between 10 to 15 lbs in just 21 days! I have been snooping around at people doing the program now and they are seeing similar results. This is amazing! There is also a 3 day fix, that is great to kick those results into over drive and get ready for that special event or vacay!

Like I said before, I will be posting weekly my results and journey throughout the 21 days. If you are interested in more information or how to order, visit the link below! This is the last week you can get FREE shipping on the 21 day fix!
