First of all let me just say...I have done hundreds of workout DVDs (including quite a few from Beachbody) and this 21 Day Fix is by far my favorite. I love how the focus is on nutrition. I thought I knew it all about eating clean but I figured out exactly what I have been doing wrong!
Not only do I love how easy it is to figure out your nutrition....but I actually really enjoyed the workouts. I get bored easily so I liked that every day is something different. She uses weights quite a bit which I love! I also love yoga and pilates and there are days for both of those too!! These workouts aren't super high intensity which is just what I needed. I haven't worked out in quite a while and after being pregnant my body needed to kind of take things slow. I modified quite a bit and used lighter weights the majority of the time. I was pretty sore almost every day!
Now to my results.....
I lost 7.6 pounds and 5 inches!! I'm super happy with that considering it was only 3 weeks!!! I lost 3 inches alone in my waist! I still have a good 5 pounds to go but my pants are fitting better and my energy is back!!!!
I decided to start another round of the 21 Day Fix starting today! I can't wait to see what changes I can make in the next few weeks! I'm feeling stronger, coming up with great simple meals, and feeling happier than I have in a while.
I'm thinking of filming a video talking about the fix and how I make out my meal plan for the day with a few tips and tricks. Would that be helpful?
I promise to keep posting updates on my progress! Feel free to ask any questions! :)
I have a question about the colored containers. Are they reused all day for portion control and to make sure you getting right amounts of each group?
ReplyDeleteYes! They are basically your measuring cups for each food group!
DeleteWould you recommend the Fix for a breastfeeding mom? I had my baby girl 3.5 months ago and want to get back in shape but for some reason feel limited due to breastfeeding. Also, did you do the shakeology shakes while on the fix?
ReplyDeleteHey Tara! I would be concerned to limit your calories that much while breastfeeding. I think you would definitely have to eat more than the recommended amount. You could definitely do the workouts though and focus on eating nutritous real food while doing it and I think you would get great results!
DeleteI just started the 21 day fix. I would love any ideas you have for meal preparation. This is my 5th day and so far, so good.
ReplyDeleteHi!! I have a few posts on the 21 day fix but this one is all about meal ideas! Hope that helps!
