21 Day Fix Results

I am really late at posting our 21 Day Fix results! I am actually impressed since we didn't follow the eating portion 100%! 

Things I have learned: 

1) I have gained a booty from the AWESOME workouts! 

2) My husband is AWESOME!!!

3) I have learned what a proper portion size is.

I really have learned what a proper portion size looks like! I will be able to use this daily no matter what I am eating. I don't have to use the containers anymore. I can just see what a portion size should be just by looking at something now! I am back to my normal 80/20 clean eating but following the proper portion sizes! 

I absolutely LOVE these workouts! I have always lacked having a booty but these workouts have really shaped it up! I am proud to say that I have one now!!! I ended up losing 5 pounds during my 21

days and have leaned out a lot! I always got back into my high school jeans!!! (I am a bit of a clothes hoarder) 

They don't fit like they did then but I pulled them right up and they zipped!!!  

My husband is so awesome!! He lost 18 pounds!!! He has always been in shape but then we got married and had kids. You know how that goes! You put others before yourself and it sneaks up on you. I couldn't believe how quickly it melted off of him!!! 

We out going on a trip to Cancun with Beachbody next April and it just happens to be our 5 year wedding anniversary that year so we are trying to get in awesome shape! We want to look better than we did on our honeymoon!! Well at least we are going to try our hardest!!! 

What does a Beachbody coach do?

I get asked a lot about why I became a Beachbody coach and what exactly a coach does. I became a Beachbody coach just 30 days after starting a challenge group that my coach was running on Facebook. I got great results and I knew it was something that I would continue after our 90 day challenge group so I became a coach so I could get the discount! Then I started posting about my progress and I really just wanted to motivate people to do the same! I started getting people messaging me and asking me about what I was doing and they would tell me that I was inspiring them to live a healthier life. That is seriously the best thing that I could have heard! I decided that this is what I wanted to do and this is why I became a coach! Who wouldn't want to get paid for helping others reach their health and fitness goals and gain their confidence back! Beachbody is such an awesome company to "work" for! We earn prizes, trips every year! I can't believe that I get paid to get in the shape of my life and help others do the same too!! 

What does a coach exactly do? There are many different ways to be a coach. You can be a "discount" coach, a "working" coach or a "business building" coach. You can start out as one and do more with your business or you can do as little as you want. A lot of people start off just as a discount coach but realize that their transformation story is inspiring others and they start working the business!

A "discount" coach is just a way for you to get a discount on all of the Beachbody products. This is for someone who is wanting to work on there transformation before they maybe decide to do more with the business. You are never obligated to sell anything you are just getting a discount on your products to help you stay on your health and fitness journey!

A "working" coach is someone who wants to help others achieve their health and fitness goals. You do this by mentoring your customers and help them set realistic goals for themselves. You will help them pick out a workout program that best fits their needs. You then will run challenge groups through Facebook. This is a where you will check in with your challengers daily with tips, teach them how to meal plan and prep and really make this a lifestyle change. You are there to provide them with support, motivation and accountability. 

A "business building" coach is someone who is wanting to eventually make this their full time job. You are still doing all of the things that a working coach does. You will also mentor others to become coaches and grow their business. You will help them run challenge groups and also get coaches on their own teams. 

If you have any questions about becoming a coach please fill out the application below and I would love to answer any questions you may have!

I look forward to hearing from you! Let's change some lives!!!

Week 2 21 Day Fix Update and Meal Plan

Here is a little update on week 2 of the 21 Day Fix! 

Well I have learned a few more things about myself this week!

1) I REALLY love carbs!

2) I miss carbs!!

3) I didn't have the best will power this week.

4) I definitely will keep using the portion sizes and meal guide but still do my normal 80/20 way of eating!

5) I really LOVE these workouts! 

6) My husband and I really love working out and having fun together!

7) I HAVE Abs now!!! They aren't perfect but pretty dang good for having 2 kids!

So week 2 went pretty well except we had a few slip ups (we are human) but I am still seeing results and feeling great!! I don't even have to keep track of my containers anymore I just know what to eat and when to eat it! I was still sore this week but not as sore as week 1!

I started my first 21 Day Fix challenge group and everyone is having great results so far! We all decided that we will give ourselves a cheat meal once a week going into round two. I really feel like if you stick to the plan but allow yourself one cheat meal a week that you are more likely to stay on track and not fall off of the wagon! 

My husband and I really enjoy these workouts! We are getting the moves down so they weren't as bad as the first week! We can both see the our bodies changing and it is amazing that it is just from 30 minutes a day!

The meal plan I use is pretty simple and that's how I like it! My husband is following the same plan as me but he just get more portions! I really love my burrito bowls because it reminds me of Chipotle! They are delicious!! Every morning I drink my shakes and just use water and cinnamon (I LOVE cinnamon)! It really keeps me full until my first snack time!

This program really does take a lot of hard work and you really have to stay committed to it but I know if you do you will get excellent results!!! You really have to remember why you want this and remember that when a cookie is tempting you!!!

21 Day Fix Week 1 Update

My husband and I started the 21 Day Fix 11 days ago (I am a little behind writing this:)) and we already are having great results!!! My husband is down 15lbs and I am down 7lbs!!

This past week was very challenging. The first couple of days were easier than I excepted it to be. Then a switch was flipped on day 3&4 and I was one cranky lady!! I was craving greasy food and I wanted it very badly!! I felt very sorry for my husband! Then on day 5 I was finally over it and felt great!!

 You can still make smart choices on the go! This is a burrito bowl from Chipotle. I just brought my containers along with me and measured it out!! 

 One of my favorite snacks. One yellow and one purple container! Ezekiel cinnamon and raisin bread and strawberries!! 

 Got my pizza craving in and it is still on the plan!!!

One of my favorite lunches. 1 red,1/2 yellow, 2 green & 1 purple containers! 

I did learn a few things in the first week.

1) I was over eating even on my healthy foods. I seriously didn't think there was such a thing. I thought you could eat a really big salad and that would be good for you...I was wrong!! 

2) I eat too many carbs even the good carbs! 

3) You can fit a lot of food into those small containers!

4) You can eat out and still make it work!!

5) The 30 minute workouts are KILLER!! Even my husband was sweating a TON!!

6) My stomach has shrank so much over the past week!

The Workouts:

Here are a few moves from the Lower Fix!!

I LOVE LOVE LOVE all of the workouts! The first week I was sore! My legs were sore all over and it was hard to even do the simple tasks like going to the bathroom :) My abs were killing me but in a good way!! I was honestly afraid that this program would not be for men but it really is for everyone. My husband really likes them! They are short and to the point. My favorite workout is the Dirty 30!!!

So overall the biggest change that I have noticed for me is my stomach. It is less bloated and my abs are starting to make their appearance again! My husbands stomach is disappearing and his "love handles" are shrinking! I can say I think that this is not a diet it really teaches about a lifestyle change! I will now be more aware of my portions but still use my 80/20 approach on my diet! I can't wait to see what the end results will be for my husband and I!!

Easy Shrimp Stir Fry

This is such an easy meal to throw together!! My husband is a big stir fry fan so I had to come up with something for him to eat and I actually enjoyed it too!! 

Ingredients:

Veggie Stir Fry Mix (frozen)

Shrimp (deveined, thawed out)

EVOO

fiesta lime seasoning (I use Mrs. Dash no salt added)

Directions:

Put your shrimp in a bowl and sprinkle the seasoning on it and stir. 

Cook the stir fry veggies how the package suggests ( I used the microwave).

In a large skillet over medium heat add some EVOO to the pan. Put the shrimp in the pan and cook until shrimp are thoroughly cooked. Turn the heat down to low. Then add the veggies to the pan with the shrimp and stir. Cook for 3-5 minutes and then serve. You can serve over brown rice or whole wheat angel hair pasta! Enjoy!! 

T25 & P90X3 Results Update

I just wanted to give a quick update! I had finished T25 and was 4 weeks in P90X3(I am taking a break for the 21 Day Fix) but I have lost 20 pounds and 19 inches! 

I was trying to find a picture of me in my "old pants" and it was very hard!! I finally found a couple from my sons 2nd birthday party. I was at the point to where I would hide from cameras! I seriously would never have thought my pants would fit like this 6 months later(it took 3 1/2 months to get the weight off)! I NEVER want to go back there again. Even if it feels impossible it is possible, trust me!!
