Day 7 of the 21 Day Fix

Ahhh, the end of the first week!  Very rewarding to make it this far and know I'm a third of the way done!  =)  Today I had my Shakeology on the way to church and then had a salad when we got home.  Nothing spectacular that I thought was picture worthy!  =)  Then we had some friends come over to watch football and eat.  My hubby can make a mean pot of chili and it was perfect on this cold day!

He doesn't really measure things out but here are the ingredients:

• Ground meat (we use deer venison but you should use turkey to make it leaner than beef!)
• onion
• garlic
• cumin
• rosemary
• chili powder
• green chili's
• diced tomatoes
• ranch style beans
• salt (don't add salt if you can help it while on The Fix.)  

We then cook some rice and pour it over rice with a little cheese on top.  Delish!!

I used my containers to measure everything out and when everyone went for seconds and had dessert, I stuck to the plan...it was hard, but I did it!  =)

Then once my family went to bed I realized I hadn't done my workout yet today.  I couldn't skip it because I've been determined to make it through this whole thing and doubling up the next day wasn't going to cut it, so at 10:15 I pushed play and got my Yoga Fix on!

At first I thought it was going to be awful.  I'm not much of a yoga person, it's hard for me to slow down, and I really didn't think I could do it for a full 30 minutes.  Once it got to the balancing moves I started enjoying it and the stretching really felt amazing!  Overall, it was nice to have a "rest" day from the harder workouts and just stretch!  

Day 7 down, 14 more to go!

21 Day Fix Journey

The first time I started the 21 Day Fix I was so determined!  I had a great first week and lost 4 pounds in 5 days and felt great!  The problem was that events and parties started coming up and well, although my body has lots of room for improvement I didn't feel like I needed to miss out on special occasions in order to loose weight when I didn't really need to loose weight in the first place. SOOO, I fell off the wagon!  Or jumped off the wagon I guess you should say!  After that I decided that I do need to commit myself to those 21 days whether I have 5 pounds to loose or 50 pounds to loose because I want to experience what my clients experience and be able to give advice knowing 100% how they're feeling!  So I am back and ready to give these 21 days my all!  I can't wait to share my results with you!!  

One thing I learned my first time around is that you have to be prepared!  That means all your meals have been planned out for the week and you've done your grocery shopping so everything is ready to grab and prepare!  Here is a video on how I get my menus planned out and you can also download my menu planner for free!  If you want me to send you 3 weeks of menus already prepared for you contact me!  I have coached many people through this program and seen some amazing results so I'm excited to give it another go!  If you want to join one of my Challenge Groups contact me by clicking the Facebook logo to the right and message me or comment below! I would LOVE to help you reach your fitness goals!
