21 Day Fix Challenge Group Results

This June I made the commitment to stick to the 21 Day Fix with my challenge group 100%. Prior, I had been mixing and matching programs depending on my mood. Always using the 21 Day Fix containers and meal plans for my nutrition, but the fitness program was a free for all. Mainly PIYO, a little running, some yoga, and some more PIYO. But this time, I was going to pretend like I was a brand new challenger.


I took my pictures on Sunday, made my meal plan from scratch, prepared my meals and was pretty excited about going all in. No cheat meals during this 21 days either. No 80/20 rule, just strict clean eating, lots of water, shakeology everyday, and the fitness workouts according to the fitness plan. Truthfully, when I first did the program last year when it came out, I completed the first video and was SO sore the next day...no the next four days that I gave up on the fitness section and just did the nutrition portion. So really, the fitness DVDs were completely new to me and that was super exciting.

Oh and did I mention that the first week I was headed to San Fran for a business trip. I was sure to be tested.

So Week 1 was on June 1st and it went great. I heavily relied on my challenge group to push me through. I just couldn't let them down and truely we were all in it together. Everyone has their own hard reasons that they can't get in that workout, why nutrition is hard to stay on track. But they were finding a way to push through which mean that I needed to find a way to push through too.

One of the most important aspects of finding success is planning your day prior to starting. For example, if i know that I have an 8 am meeting where I need to be dressed and then dinners at night, then I'll wake up early and get my workout in then. 5:30am comes early, but trust me, you will thank yourself when you finish. Trust me. Workout is checked off the list and then you just have to focus on nutrition.


Okay, let's talk about the fitness DVDs. Each are thirty minutes long which is AWESOME. It starts with a 3 minute warm up that is the same each day. Then leads into Rounds of exercises. Depending on the day you could have four rounds of two moves each. Then you repeat each move twice. Or it could be 5 moves for two rounds, repeat each move twice. What I love about the workouts is that mentally they are SO easy to get through. By Round 2, you are already 10 mins in and almost to the halfway mark. Then right when you think you can't push any farther you are 20 mins in and well...then you only have 10 mins left so you HAVE to finish right. Then its done. You're dripping with sweat and on a high of endorphins.

The moves are accessible for all levels for fitness. If you are a beginner, there is a modifier that is right next to Autumn to simplify to the moves so that you can get fit at and grow stronger and be good to your body. I urge you that if you are a beginner that you follow the modifier first. Then if you feel like you can do more, move on to the full moves. I say this as this is what I should have done last year. Instead, I went gun-ho the first day and completely over did it and then psyched myself out. You here me?! Listen to your body.

Change your perspective.
Change your life.

Now if you are already fit, this is great for you too as you can really go full speed with all the moves and get awesome results. I did several of these workouts in my hotel room with little space and no equipment. If you put your mind to it, you absolutely can ROCK this program.

If your curious about the nutrition part of the program, please see my previous posts on the containers. These are GOLDEN and simplify all the guesswork about portion size, how many carbs, protein, fats should I have, etc. It's all there simplified in an easy to complete way.

Day 21. Final Day of the 21 Day Fix Results. 

So what were my results. Well, I really was nervous to take my after pictures because I wasn't sure if I had any results. The first week I lost 3 pounds; second week was down 4 total and then by Day 21 I was still at 4 total. So, results, but not what I was used to. Then I put the pictures side by side and I saw it. RESULTS. I am transitioning in the weight loss stage of my journey to the toning stage of my journey which means the pounds lost are slowing. This is because while I am losing fat, I am gaining more weight in muscle. So this is going to look different on the scale but GREAT on your body.

I'm pretty proud of myself for sticking through the program. My challenge group pushed me harder than I had been pushing myself and I am so grateful for them. They are an extremely inspiring bunch of ladies.

Day 21 Front View. Truly shocked to see these results. 

Moral of this post is TRUST YOURSELF. Give it your all, follow the program and you will see results. While it is as simple as that, the 21 days for sure tests many of pressure points. That's what is great about 21 days in forming a habit. You are going to experience the many reasons to stop or cheat, getting through those will not only make you stronger but will help get you to that bigger goal.
