Days 1 and 2

Day 1:

Day one went great!  I tried to do it at least half of each individual workout the full way and did the modified version if needed after 30 sec.

Food wise- I was not hungry! Here is what I ate.

Breakfast: Eggs

Snack: Shakeo and half a banana

Lunch: Turkey and a whole wheat tortilla, salad, and an apple

Snack: Squash

Dinner: Mixed veggies, chicken, brown rice

Snack: Peach, yogurt, and almonds

by the end of the day it actually felt like a lot of food!


Day 2:

I woke up and weighed two pounds less! Happy Wednesday!

Breakfast: Eggs

Snack: Shakeo and a whole banana

Lunch: Chicken, brown rice, mixed veggies

Snack: 1/2 grapefruit and almonds

Dinner: turkey, whole wheat tortilla, greenbeans and salad with 21 day fix dressing.

Workout was great and I plan on doing the 10 min abs with my other work out tomorrow!


Last night I made a pallet of chicken, brown rice, and mixed veggies and put them in containers one serving of each together and put them in  these awesome rubbermaid containers I got on sale at Bed Bath and Beyond! They even came with some little ones a perfect size for your 'health fats'.  I'm going to put a little cheese in one and use half in a salad and the other half another place during the day or today and yesterday I put my serving of almonds in one and would grab a few at a time when I just wanted a little something to munch on!

I am already feeling more energized and even cleaned out the fridge!



Let me know your great tips!

21 Day Fix Day 0

One Year. I cannot believe almost one year ago I got married to this amazing man. 



In January I started working out hard and eating great! Until of course I got hurt at work and could no longer work out.  Oh I tried... and failed. I ended up working out after and taking it easy but still only further injured myself.  Then work got busy as the end of the year always does and well.. although my back was better I still did not get back on the wagon.


My parents' wonderful neighbor Lacy has been doing Beachbody's 21 Day Fix and has had amazing results from it I signed up as a coach and ordered my Fix and it came in the mail today!

Tomorrow I will start my 21 Day Fix it consists of 7 colored containers of different sizes for portions and 6 30 minute workouts. It even came with some extra workouts that are a little shorter!


The program tells you how many of each container YOU need based on your caloric needs. 

The workouts come with a schedule rotating the 6 workouts throughout the 21 days in a way to keep your metabolism going and your body building muscle and burning fat! I cannot wait to get started! Tonight I had Cody take my before pictures :( I think I will wait until I have a more positive picture to add to it until I put it up here haha!




I am also waiting on my 3 day Refresh.  I didn't decide to do it until this weekend so I will do it directly after my 21 day fix so 24 days from today I should look great :)


I will be posting a food journal along with how the day's workouts went every day through the fix and refresh! Enjoy the ride and let me know if you are interested in doing it with me!
