21 Day Fix Review: Before and After

I made it! 21 days of diligence and hard work paid off. There were moments of weakness during the 21 days and the occasional "cheat meal" but I would say 80% of the time I stuck to the program and because of that I finally lost the last bit of pregnancy weight that I had been carrying for over a year. I absolutely love this program and I don't intend to just stop what I have been working for over the last three weeks. I believe you can modify this program and use it everyday to continue a healthier lifestyle.

I love the workouts. You can do them at your house and they are only 30 minutes! There are no excuse not to do them, you have 30 minutes in your day to be on facebook or watch tv so you have 30 minutes to do a quick but effective workout.

I love the containers. The containers really train your brain on how much food you should be eating and because the food you can put in the container is all whole foods you eliminate process foods without even realizing it! The biggest struggle for people when it comes to losing weight is in the kitchen. You can have the most intense 2 hour workout and ruin it all in the kitchen. If you miss a workout that is fine but if you stop following the eating program you will not see results.

I love shakeology. Shakeology really helped me through the three weeks. It increased my energy and it was the drink I most looked forward to everyday (especially the chocolate, banana and peanut butter one). You can be benefical on the program without shakeology but you will see better results when you use it. I have done the 21 day fix with and without the shakeology and hands down I had better results when I used it.

I love my challenge group! I was part of a challenge group of a couple other woman on a secret facebook group and we helped encourage each other through the three weeks. We had to share our struggles and successes with each other and get to know each other. This group helped me keep accountable and really pushed me further than I could have gone on my own.

So now is the time to share my before and after pictures....I never thought I would do this online but if I can help one person struggling with their weight or their lifestyle and show them it only takes 21 days to change your mind and body than it is worth it. I absolutely recommend this program to new moms as well because the workouts are do able with a little one at home and it really helps jump start that weight loss from pregnancy.

I lost 4 pounds and 10 inches!! and I can really start to feel my muscles coming back :)

I became a Beachbody coach because I truly believe in the programs and products. If you are interested in the 21 days fix or any of the Beachbody programs I would love to talk to you about them and find the best one to fit your lifestyle. Send me an email at palmerke2@gmail.com.

21 Day Fix: Day 9

I took a couple days break from documenting my meals because we were at a lake cabin and had bad internet service. However, I still stuck to the 21 day fix as much as a could (I may have had a couple more glasses of wine than I was allowed, but I refrained from eating sweets and still worked out). The day we drove home we spent a lot of time in the car and didn't have time to get a workout in so I did a double workout today: Dirty 30 and Upper Fix

When I got home I made up some yummy fix approved banana bread (recipe on the blog) and had that for breakfast this morning with a tsp of peanut butter. Yellow  & 1 Tsp

Here is what I ate the rest of the day....

Snack: Raspberries and strawberries with half a container of plain yogurt with a little honey - Purple & 1/2 Red

Lunch: Salad with tomatoes, cucumbers, cheese and tuna and Italian dressing - 2 Green Blue Orange & 1/2 Red

Snack: Mocha Shakeology (1 scoop of chocolate, 1 cup cold coffee, ice) - Red

I was still a little hungry later so I had some cottage cheese - Red

Dinner: Pulled pork (21 day fix approved recipe I found on Pinterest), whole wheat bun, mixed veggies - Red Yellow & Green 

Dessert: Banana with cinnamon and 1 tsp peanut butter - Purple & 1 Tsp 

21 Day Fix: Day 3

I was a little hungry on day 1 and 2 but today I have noticed that I am staying full and satisfied for longer. I also receive my chocolate shakeology in the mail today and it tastes awesome!

Breakfast: 1/2 whole wheat bagel, 2 tsp peanut butter and 1 small banana - Yellow 2 Tsp & Purple

Snack: Chocolate Shakeology Red

Ok so I was skeptical about Shakeology for awhile and didn't want to spend the money to buy it. I thought it was just like all other protein powders but it seriously is not! It is full of healthy whole foods and taste great and gives you so much energy. I bought the chocolate to go along with my 21 day fix and got it in the mail today. I used one of the recipes they recommend and blended together 1 scoop of chocolate shakeology, 1 tsp of peppermint extract, 1 cup of water and ice and it tasted like a peppermint chocolate milkshake. I am seriously a huge fan of this stuff!

Lunch: The last of my chicken lettuce wraps- Red & Green

Snack: Cucumber slices and almonds- Green & Blue

Dinner: Stir fry (Meat, veggies and brown rice) - Yellow Red & Green 

Dessert: Plain Yogurt, Nectarine and Pumpkin Seeds with a little bit of honey - Red Purple & Orange
