So who has heard of the 21 Day Fix?
Unless you live under a rock, (jk jk) it's all the rage in the workout program world.
It's great 30 min workouts that are different everyday and you get portion containers and an eating guide with it. No counting calories; if your food fits in the container you can eat it.
At first I was a little hesitant to use them ... they LOOK so small. But when I actually put food in them, then on my plate I realized that just wasn't the case. I had a hard time finishing all my food, which is crazy for me BECAUSE I LOVE FOOD!!!
Anyhoo about the workouts. They are great and target every muscle group in your body. You definitely feel sore the next day from these, but a good sore!! I started out using the modifiers because I had not worked out in uhhh 9+ months. Even those challenge you though! After my first round I didn't lose any weight but my clothes felt better so I take that as a plus!!
I am on my 5th round of it and I have lost 5 pounds so far -- Not the greatest but not terrible!!! I wasn't consistent in my eating plan (aka I drank too much wine over the holidays). The best moment though was when I had to go buy heavier weights because the weights I was using did nothing anymore! (Also my child was growing larger so that probably had something to do with it!)
The 21 Day Fix is a great workout program for beginners, busy parents, and people who need to hone in on their nutrition. It's just 30 minutes of your day!
Now about Shakeology.
I was hesitant to start "drinking the koolaid" I like REAL FOOD and this didn't seem like it would be able to keep me full. I was WRONG! So wrong. But I am glad I was. I'll admit it doesn't taste as good to me just shaken, but it's waaaaay better than other shakes out there. This is also a meal replacement shake not a "protein shake". So I started experimenting with flavors and to my surprise I hated the vanilla (it's still not my favorite) and LOVED the strawberry flavor (think strawberry nesquick) But chocolate is my jam and I have it every morning. I mix mine with a frozen banana and natural pb or pb2. Plan and simple and it keeps me full. It's like eating a reeses's cup for breakfast. I have noticed a difference in my skin, my energy levels, and my mood! When I don't have this first thing in the morning my whole body feels it! It's like taking a multivitamin and 7 salads all at once.
