So what exactly is the 21 Day Fix? Well I am sure you have heard of P90X or Insanity those are beach body programs and so is the 21 Day Fix. The concept is to get you beach body ready in a short amount of time. Now some people do not believe in this and I was also hesitant at first. I mean why spend extra money when I already go to the gym and eat sorta good. I also have a super long commute so it can be hard to stay active and eat healthy when all I want is candy on the train. Well I can say I have not been seeing the results I was expecting and I have been getting really discouraged. Before I go on, I am not over weight. I am actually pretty normal on the scale but I do have some problem areas that I am not comfortable with. I am a full supporter for people to get the body they want the right way. With all that said I decided to look into the 21 Day Fix because I needed extra help and I know a few people that have done and seen AMAZING results.
Again what exactly is the 21 Day Fix? We start with the diet plan. Its all laid out for you, so all you do is basically eat what you were eating before but with portion control and modified. It is SO easy anyone can do it. They give you containers that are color coded to help you when you plan your meals. They also give you a meal guide so you know what to eat and when to eat. The meal plan guide also break downs what should go in each containers. Also provide what not to eat on the diet. The best part is after it is done they do not want you to restrict the diet for forever, so they ease you back into adding more calories into your diet. The second component are the workout DVDs, which are broken up into 7 different exercise routines for only 30 minutes a day! How can you beat that, especially if you are as busy as I am, this plan makes it so simple you do not even have to think. And another great thing is that its all 100% guaranteed, meaning if you are not satisfied after 21 Days you can return it for a full refund! How great!
Today is my first day on the fix. How did I prepare? I went grocery shopping with a list in my hand of everything I wanted to get and could eat on the Fix. I came home and prepared some of my meals for the week by cooking chicken and portioning it out so its easy grab in go. I also prepared veggies, oats and brown rice so it would be very easy for me to portion out and take what I can. I also made a spread sheet for the next week of what I was going to eat each day and when. This is an easy visual guide for myself so I can just grab and go and not even think because I already did all of the work. Now this morning all I needed to do was make my shake (which was yummy), and my lunch bag and head to work. When I get home tonight all I have to do is the DVD and prep dinner that might take me maybe 10 minutes. I already feel less stressed! Now I don't know how I am going to like it, I could hate it after day 3. But I will continue to blog and post pictures of my progress. Can't wait to bring everyone on my journey!!
