That Mandisa song is running around my head "it's a good morning". 13 days on the fix and I feel great! Have not been perfect with my timing this week but it helps me in those times still do the best with what I can!
13 daysChest 2.5 inches gone Waist 2.5 inches gone Hips 2.5 inches gone 7 pounds Whew hoo! I really can't believe it, my results were so good the first week I thought this week I would just say the same and maintain those results! Lovin this and loving the 30 min workouts! It's still crazy to me how much more I used to work out and how my results were not nearly as good!
Turbo Kicking ALLL over the house today! "Who's house, my house, who's house my house, who's in my house?" Fix Update: I told you I was excited on Friday! Since Monday on the fix, not quite an entire week...... a week in which I have had so much food to eat that I didn't always eat it all, a week in which I exercised only 30 minutes a day and had to pause the video a few times.... yet sometimes wondering if it was working because some days I didn't sweat.....ie: pilates....a week I had valentines night wine....and a little dessert. I had to do my inches today just for fun, because I decided inches were going to be my #1 measure tool....So here it goes: Since Monday: 1.25 inches lost in my chest 1.5 inches lost in my waist 3/4 inches lost in my hips 5 pounds lost Yes, I had Tim measure again to make sure... and I was already eating healthy and working out before! I am sleeping AMAZING! This is a really notable difference that surprised me! I can think of some very specific times the fix helped me....it not only helped me eat what I needed to (sometimes I don't eat enough) but it also helped me make decisions I wouldn't have made. It also helps me make sure my nut/seed portions are not too much for the day but yet ensures I get my healthy fats in. Tuesday I had one meal packed but should have had two because I came home hungry and needed to eat... before I would have grabbed an apple or something healthy that was quick... instead I made a choice to make grilled veggies because I wanted to save those things for something later. Loving this Program! And I've measured everything for years.... this just really helps you focus on your nutrition at a deeper level in an easy way! Tim Zakaras also lost 4 pounds since Monday doing his T25---and a byproduct of my fix of course
I LOVE my mid morning snack, so NUMMY, 2 omega 3 eggs and steel cut oats w a dab of raw honey and cinnamon, all prepared on my prep day and ready to roll....
This is SOOO me! If I don't eat throughout the day, and take care of myself..I am VERY affected by it! I get grouchy, disoriented, I can't think. Not everyone is like this, my hubby can go for hours, but regardless of your "hungry disposition" remember it's good to feed your body healthy nutrients throughout the day and keep your blood sugars level! The biggest mistake people make is not take the time to have a plan--- so eating throughout the day even healthy things becomes grazing and snacking on too much of a good thing! I am loving the 21 day fix helping hold me accountable on this!
As a busy mom this happens to me all the time! I usually keep almonds in my purse as an emergency, and still do.... BUT I am feeling amazing doing it this way! I am filled with energy and so alert!
I am also thankful my hubby is taking the time to eat several meals throughout the day----even though he doesn't feel it as much as I do his health has improved because of it and he does notice a difference! When I met him he did not eat breakfast and had larger portions for dinner.... just by eating a healthy breakfast and watching his portions more at dinner he has never been the same size and that was 12 years ago he started those changes! (the little body for lifer in me couldn't watch him do that to himself) Yes he's fluctuated a bit with holidays etc but overall just that was a 25 pound permanent change! Do NOT starve yourself!
I wanted to give an update! I weighed myself today because I haven't for awhile and wanted a "starting point" for the fix and my eating clean this week--- plus with superbowl etc I was a little nervous about it. I was down two pounds from my low! So I already got to move 2 hearts from Funky to Spunky
This is something I saw a month or so ago and have wanted to do it since, today I decided I wasn't putting it off any longer! So this is an example but many people use Marbles (I almost did). Someone else I saw used Nails for "nailed it" in T25. I went to the dollar store and got some fun things. For me... as I've been on this journey, a fun part is feeling like myself again... getting my "spunk" back, my personality! A fun inspiration for me is to once again feel fashionable, look like I feel on the inside, wear things I love---that are really my style. Feel like I can do a "hot" date night with my hubby and feel like it! I am fun, I am spunky.. and somehow I became an introvert these past few years! If you knew me you wouldn't think this was possible! I LOVE our challenge groups and the friends I've made because I realize a part of that was just missing friends. A fun assignment today is try to create some sort of goal for you, if you do not have a lot of weight to lose maybe it's how many times you work out this month, or maybe it's a health goal like how many times you bypassed soda or drank your shakeology... whatever it is try to create a visual! I am so excited to lose my first pound and put it in my FAB glass ! Bring on the heels!
I am SO excited about this Program! This is EXACTLY what I and millions of other people totally need! A short goal, fast results and take all the guesswork out of getting there! This is simply simple.... YOU CAN DO THIS! Busy, not busy... whatever your lifestyle is! This will work for you!

Happy Monday! My meal plan is done, YAYYY! I am focusing on healthy fats this week and I can't wait! I realized that I hadn't been eating as many healthy fats as I normally do. So this week I am experimenting! I will give an update on Friday and let you know how it goes! Also I live in Arizona and my skin is DRY so I thought this would help for this as well. My calories still fall within range, but I notice my body does better this way How about you? What are some of your Favorite Healthy fats? Mine are unrefined organic coconut oil, avocado and Barleans organic flax oil.
Here is a quick list of healthy fats to add in your day: 1-2 Tablespoon Unrefined Organic Coconut oil 2 servings of Omega 3 oil Half to a whole avocado plus one other fat Nuts Seeds 1 portion I usually have a portion of nuts/seeds once a day and then also use almond butter in my shake as my extra fat. One thing to watch out for is TOO many nuts and seeds, you can still eat too many! However we can have more than we think we can and the difference is amazing! Your weight begins to fall off, your skin becomes clear and your eyes are bright! Try it for a week and see what happens!
