21 Day Fix Review

The 21 Day Fix is not a diet, it is a lifestyle! This program teaches portion control with easy to use containers that are so cute and colorful! Check out my video for my full review or check out my top take always below...

TOP 3 FAVORITE THINGS ABOUT THE PROGRAM
1. Cute containers make meal planning and packing easy.
2. No calorie counting!!!! This works for some people, but I learned that calorie counting simply does not work for me!
3. You can have your (jell-O) cake and eat it too. I did not feel deprived as it made room for chocolate, coffee, and even wine!

TOP 3 THINGS TO DO DIFFERENTLY
1. Always plan ahead meals the night before.
2. Add extra meal or extra red (protein) on days where I am more active. Some days I was for sure dragging which made it easy to cave and switch from the fix to the see-food diet aka eat everything you see.... get it? (Credit: Tim Hake)
3. Incorporate the workouts, (only 30 minutes!) and develop my own type of hybrid workout with my own lifting schedule. Will probably do this once school is over and I am back at home.



*August 2011 photo was taken when I first became a Beachbody coach. Since then, I have had my own health and fitness journey. Crazy to believe that despite what it looks like, my weight was lowest back in August. This goes to show how you simply cannot get hung up by the number on the scale. Focus on the pounds you lift, not the pounds you weigh! I believe that health and fitness is a never ending journey, as I learn and grow both physically and mentally each day.

I MADE IT! Final review, along with measurements and pics to come later!


21 Day Fix Review - Day 18

Day 18 - I know I am like a broken record when it comes to Fat Free Friends, but accountability is truly the key to success!! When you have others cheering you on and relate to you when things get tough. I love running challenege groups because it brings like minded people together while we all encourage the success of one another!

21 Day Fix Review - Day 14 & 15

Alright folks, two more tips from yesterday and today!

1. When going out to eat, box up HALF of your meal. More often than not, your meal is WAY bigger than one serving size! This will keep you from overeating, and give you leftovers for lunch or dinner tomorrow. Win win in my book!

2. Eat more cottage cheese. It is a great source of protein and calcium post workout. It is a slow I digesting protein, so it will help keep you full a little longer while promoting that muscle protein synthesis to GET SWOLL! jk you won't get huge, but it's delicious and nutritious.

(3. Bread pudding is just way too good and a rare treat that just MUST be sacrificed as a yellow container....bread are carbs are yellow and it's all the same right...? Jk But really, everything in moderation, so treat yourself if you must and don't deprive yourself!)

21 Day Fix Review - Day 10

Soo kind of a review but not really....spent a large chunk of the day traveling, but managed to stay on track! I did not follow the 21 Day Fix exactly, ate a quest bar and fruit while traveling, best grilled fish tacos of my life for lunch, and a strawberry watermelon feta chicken delicious salad for dinner! Busy busy day, but SO fun already. My video cut off half way, but check out a sneak peak of the talent team rooms! :) more excitement to come tomorrow!

Beginning of Week 2 and starting off strong! All you really need to know for this post is that you should reference my previous post about Fat Free Friends. Everyone needs them, and it's not what you think!! LOVE YOU KYLIE, ALE, PAULINA, & EVERYONE ELSE! I am SO grateful for all the support and love I have surrounding me on a daily basis. Okay, sappy rant over...for now...

21 Day Fix Review - Day 7

1 week down, 2 to go! Sunday Funday today, no workout, but was busy and active moving around, so still managed to meet my FitBit goal! So if you miss a workout, it's not the end of the world! Consistency is key, and just like one healthy meal won't make you skinny, one bad meal won't make you fat. Brush it off and get back on track :)
