21 Day Fix: Day 11

I'm 11 days through this program, and I've got to say I feel great. My skin seems cleaner, I feel "lighter", I have more energy and I have more control over my eating habits. Before I would do great for a few days and then have a huge craving and over eat. The containers have given me a fresher approach and I feel free from the obsessive calorie counting I was doing.

Last night I climbed a rock wall and jumped on giant trampoline's at my nephew's birthday party. And it felt great!


There's no way 11 days ago I would have had the energy or confidence to try that. This program is not only helping me lose weight, but helping gain perspective on my patterns and to be healthier.

21 Day Fix: Day 1

Day 1 is complete! I wasn't sure how well today would go since it was day 1, and the day I drop the kids off at my Mom's and go into work at the office. It was a little hectic fitting in my work out, meal prep, chores, and getting the kiddos squared away all during the window of 6:30am - 8:30am, BUT I pulled it off!

I did my workout first thing "total body cardio fix". It was harder than I expected. I had to go down to the modified moves half way through several of the moves. But I did it! All 32 minutes of it :)


I didn't pack enough to eat at work, but I wasn't starving either. I put lemon slices in my water and that was pretty tasty. I had 2 hard-boiled eggs for breakfast, and my protein shake on my way to drop the kids off. At work for lunch I had 1 green container of raw spinach, 1 yellow container of wheat thins, 2 large slices of chicken breast deli for my red container and 10 baby carrots for a green container. Then I used the orange container and drizzled balsamic vinegar on my salad, and topped it with half a blue container of crumbled feta cheese. It was good! I drank two shakeology containers of water at work, totaling 50 oz.  When I got home from work I was starving. So I ate 1/2 a banana for a purple container, that was hard for me because I hate fruit, but I'm allotted 3 purple containers a day. For dinner I had a baked chicken breast (red container), and 2 yellow containers of brown rice, and cooked carrots with 1/2 blue container of shredded cheese. I ran out of time to eat my last green container and I knew I wouldn't eat my other purple fruit containers. I ended the night with a hot cup of lemon ginger tea. First day was a success! 1 day down, 20 to go!
