After completing the 3 Day Refresh, I am feeling so empowered and in control of my body that I'm beginning to think, "hmm...maybe I will get to that bikini body I've always dreamed about". It's SO CLOSE and my deadline (goal) of July 4th is quickly approaching. So, I've decided to go all in with my challenge group and do the 21 Day Fix again like I've never done it before. That means 100%. No cheat meals, cracking down for the next 21 Days. EEK.Yes, I still have work travel and meetings and parties and all that other good, fun stuff that I love to splurge on. However, going to use this 21 days to prove to myself that I CAN DO IT. It's going to be tough, but SO worth it.
What is the 21 Day Fix?
This is a program I highly recommend as it combines both nutrition and fitness in one simple to follow plan. I have been using the nutrition plan as a guide for the past year and pull out my containers almost every day to keep my portions in check.
Nutrition Plan:
I can't say enough about these containers! I swear by them. So, when you get your package in the mail, you will get your set of fitness DVDs, a set of colored containers and a nutrition guide. The nutrition guide will walk you step by step on how to use your containers to plan your meals. Each colored container represents a food group (Veggies, Fruits, protein, carbs, healthy fats, seeds/oils). Based on your weight, you will calculate how many calories you need to consume to workout and lose weight. It's simple math in a step by step form. There will be a calorie range along with the number of containers you get to build your meal plan with each day. For example, I get 4 greens, 2 purples, 4 reds, 2 yellows, 1 blue, an an orange. Next you will go to each colored category and find a list of foods for each that are recommended and build your meal plan. Pretty simple right? If it fits in the container, you can eat it! Cha-ching.
I recommend having either the same or similar snacks, breakfasts, and lunches each day to simply the meal plan. Having two-three options for breakfast/lunch and rotating these seem to be the best option for me. My favorites right now are breakfast parfaits and a simple salad for breakfast and lunch. It removes the decision making during the day which helps me stay on track, even when the day goes array.
Fitness Program:
With your package you will receive three DVDs and a workout calendar.- Disc 1:
- Total Body Cardio Fix
- Upper Fix
- Lower Fix
- Pilates Fix
- 10-Minute for Abs
- Disc 2:
- Cardio Fix
- Dirty 30
- Yoga Fix
- 10-Minute for Abs
- Disc 3: (Free when you sign up with a coach)
- Plyo Fix
Hang that calendar up immediately and grab that big old Sharpie! Each day you will do the assigned workout. Every workout is only 30 mins. We can all do 30 mins, RIGHT! Before you know it 15 mins have past and you are already halfway done. Each DVD has a modifier to make it accessible to all. :) I just completed Day 1 which is the Total Body Cardio Fix workout. It was tough, but completely doable. I used the modifier when I needed and pushed when I thought I could do more.
