21 Day Fix DAY ONE

21 day FIX!

YAY!! I finally got my 21 day fix in. This program gives people awesome results and is AWESOMELY sold out all the time because it's SO AWESOME.

You see those containers I'm holding? That's is what this program is all about. Portion control & meal planning!

Someone asked me, "Can you really change your body in 21 days?!" Well.. we shall see ;) 

I'm choosing to do 6 small meals a day at 1,200 - 1,500 calorie days.

Eating plan:

I took a picture of this to have on my phone incase I forget what I need to eat next. But since I spent so much time planning and cooking yesterday - I have it memorized.

Plan: 

Breakfast - Steel cut oats with 0.5 banana and nut butter

Snack 1 - Pineapple

Lunch - Quinoa & Catfish (with herbs and lemon juice) & summer squash

Snack 3 - 10 baby carrots

Dinner - Cucumber & sweet pepper salad with catfish 

Snack 4 - Shakeology
snack 5 - Greek yogurt

Doesn't that look like alot of food?! Yay for not starving!

Weekend Success

Someone made a comment in my March Madness fitness group about not getting results on Monday after the weekend. 

The weekend is VITAL to getting fitness results. Please stick to your healthy eating and work out schedule during the weekends and you WILL see results. If you are eating the calories and fat that you did not eat this past week, then you will be the same as you were on day 1 by day 14. 

The weekend is what MATTERS. Give up your alcohol, your fast food, and your baked goods this weekend and I PROMISE you'll be so happy you did.

I know one thing I DON'T remember about my past, whether it is 5 years to 3 days ago, are the bad meals I missed out on, the bad meals I ate, the hard workouts I did, or the workouts I skipped... 

What I do remember is how I look and feel right now. I DO remember those moments I felt fat in my clothes and embarrassed in my bikini. I remember those times I told myself I looked ugly in the mirror. 

DON'T give into eating bad, drinking, or missing workouts - think about your goals, think about what you want for your future. YOU CAN DO THIS!! 

Dance Party

Do you ever get lonely at night or on the weekends?

I found a solution!

30 second dance party!!!

It really does change your mood and your mind set!

GET BACK UP

What if, when you were a baby, you stopped trying to walk when you fell down?

What if you stopped trying to feed yourself when you found it challenging?

What if you stopped trying to learn how to talk when it got too hard?

Guess what the only difference is between you then, and you now? NOW: You let other people's and your own doubt get in your way. SCREW that doubt. 

You want something? WORK FOR IT.

Snacking = Enemy?

Is there a time of day that you KNOW ruins your weight loss and fitness results?

I've always struggled with binge eating and I'm doing so much better thank you to shakeology and my fitness groups!

But now I've realized that snacking is a small, quiet, sneaky version of binge eating... like a passive aggressive little pain in the butt!

For me, the worst time of the day is as soon as I come home all the way until I go to bed.

When I'm not paying attention, I will snack when I get home, eat dinner, snack, eat dessert, snack... So basically I will eat 5 dinners before I realize what I'm doing.

I snack when I'm thirsty and I snack when I'm up late.

So how do we fix this problem?!

You need to CHANGE something during these times of the day. FOCUS on these times specifically.

You need to stay aware during these times. Why do you snack then?

Some tips:
- Change your diet, add healthy snacks throughout the day so you are not hungry or craving anything during that "snack" time
- Make your planned healthy snack time right before that bad time, so you are not hungry and don't over eat
- Set an alarm to that time to remind yourself to stay aware and on track

- Focus on changing your schedule during that time to stay distracted

So, today when I get home, I'm going to drink 3 glasses of water. Then I'm going to go on my run with my dog. If I still feel like I'm going to lose control, I'm going to pack my dinner, and leave my house (my roommate keeps unhealthy food in our fridge).

AND when I get home, I'm going to BED - No more snacks!!!

SLEEP solves ALOT of mental instabilities that you don't even realize are going on. Feel like your slipping in any way? GO TO BED.

I WANT results. I'm going to fix anything that gets in the way. I don't want to let myself down! I really believe I can do this!

Believe in Yourself. Do what you need to to help yourself  today :)
