21 Day Fix Meal Plan



This is a sample of our meal plan with the 21 Day Fix and what you can have in the lowest bracket, as you can see that you are not starving.  Here is a backstory on the program itself:

The 21 Day Fix combines a little bit of everything as far as workouts go. You will get a fair amount of cardio, but it will also incorporate some resistance training to help you with strength and tone. In addition, you get a solid meal plan plus portion control containers to help you stay in track. The workouts are only 30 minutes a day.

Our 21 Day Fix program has our nutritional shake into the meal plan, Shakeology.  It has been my breakfast for the past two years.  It kickstarts weight loss and helps you maintain it as well.  Also, it is like heaven in a cup!   We have seven different flavors - vanilla, chocolate, vegan chocolate, strawberry, vegan strawberry, greenberry, and cafe latte.

Have you been wanting to try out the fix meal plan?  If so, reach out to me and I can get you all the materials!

What is a DISCOUNT COACH?

You may have heard of  discount Beachbody coaching. What does that mean?
.
Well, Beachbody makes A TON of health and fitness products. A lot of people become a “coach” just so they can get 25% off the workout programs and other products like Shakeology, equipment, supplements, etc.
.
As soon as you sign-up to be a coach you'll see your 25% discount appear in the SHOP on the TeamBeachbody.com website.
.
You may be in the middle of doing 21 Day Fix right now and might be interested in doing Hammer and Chisel, PiYo, Country Heat and whatever other programs Beachbody comes out with later on. In that case it makes sense to save 25% on all those programs if you can. Or maybe you tried Shakeology and you really liked it. In that case becoming a coach makes even more sense because you will save $15 on Shakeology every month even when you take into account your monthly coaching fees.
.
Really, don’t let the word COACH scare you. If all you want to do is get the 25% discount, you won’t be responsible for “coaching” anyone (unless that’s something you decide to do later on). COACH is just a word Beachbody decided to use for their team of independent representatives who share and distribute their products with others.
.
How Much Does it Cost to Become a Discount Coach?
.
It costs $39.95 to become a coach. About a month after you sign-up you’ll be billed $15.95 every month. That’s it! You are under no obligation to sell or purchase a certain amount of product each month and there are no penalties. With any challenge pack (fitness + Shakeology), Coach fee is waived. Challenge Pack prices begin at $140.
.
Interested in becoming a discount coach? Comment YES.

Big dreams!

I have BIG dreams and one of them is to officially be able to keep my husband home. He wants to build a gym on the beach and to be his own boss. I want to be able to pursue my hobby of photography along aside being a business owner. Guess what, one of my dreams has already happened, however it is the one that is going to make my husbands one day.
I am building a business of beautiful, intelligent, sharp, like minded individuals with the passion for truly inspiring others to live healthy. I decided to be a part of something great. (Let me tell you, I got started by seeing a post just like this on my sponsors page)
If you have ever wanted to be part of a movement that will change your live for the better, now is the time. It is just a beautiful thing to wake up with my family by my side, workout together, eat healthy together, and host groups to keep my clients motivated.
My dream for this business grows with every year. I want to one day have a coach in every single state. I want to one day help motivate someone to lose 50-100 pounds. I want to one day have my own team retreat and spoil my doers. I want to one day have my certification in a fitness program. I want to one day, stand in front of thousands of coaches and share my story.
Vision your dreams and take steps everyday to make them a reality.

My Blue Apron Review (Part 1)

I received my first Blue Apron box this week and let me say, it has been a wonderful change of pace.

The meal I prepared was: Zucchini & Mozzarella Pizza Paninis with Tomato Sauce & Romaine-Cucumber Salad

Likes: 
• They include a kid chef worksheet to show how kiddos can help with preparing the meal with you.  Extremely love this option to include.
• First time making my own salad dressing with my meal and it was very good -- parmesan cheese, lemon juice, olive oil, and black pepper.
• Zucchini and garlic was amazing and favorite part of the meal.

Dislikes:
• It took longer to get through step one of cutting and slicing all the food.
• First time trying cucumber in my salad and not a fan.
• Girls wouldn't try it, too much green for them.

Definitely will make this again and zucchini will become more a staple in our house.

Overall: 9 out of 10 stars

My Hellofresh Review

Let me start by saying, I absolutely adore getting fresh veggies and meat delivered to my door. 

This is my first trial box from Hellofresh versus having the full version.  The packaging was perfect for the amount of food that was delivered and it came with a cute apron to cook in.

The meal that I prepared was Peppercorn Steak with Roasted Red Potatoes and Broccoli.

Likes:
• Very, simple to prepare
• Roasted broccoli was surprisingly tasty
• Directions was easy to follow.
• Included two more recipe cards

Dislikes:
• The sauce was a little runny
• There was not enough steak for two people, so I had to use a different steak for the meal.

Overall: 7.5 out of 10

21 Day Fix results are in!

































Officially, completed a round of the 21 Day Fix!  This has been my third time completing a round.  I can't believe how incredible and fast your body can get back.  At the beginning of the year, I let my fitness be on the back burner.  We had incredible (sarcasm) things happen one after another, so fitness was not my priority.

Then, something else happened that shook us to the core.  I decided it was time to get back into my fitness routine to get myself happy again.  I decided to take care of myself like it should be.  Daily exercise and keeping my nutrition on point.  Funny thing is that I know how to properly take my body with nutrition, but that isn't all of the equation.  You need both! 

These are my final results after completing a new round -- 7 pounds gone in 21 Days!  6 inches gone in 21 Days!  Can you believe that this is something I done in three weeks?   There will always be the doubters out there, but until you try it, you will see the results you want!  Give it a 100% try and you will earn it.

Pros of the fix:

  • Nutrition is simple and easy to follow.
  • Workouts are only 30 minutes and if you are stress for time, you can do the 10 minute ab workout.  
  • Autumn is always shouting out motivation during the right moments of the workouts.
  • You will be full and can still have a glass of wine with saving up a yellow.
  • Chocolate is part of the plan, need I say more?
Cons of the fix:
  • There are no rest days, which I can understand my challengers point to this con.  However, you take advantage of the Pilates and Yoga Fix days, my friends.
  • You will work up a sweat and probably need to shower afterwards. 
  • You will lose weight, so shopping will become necessary. 



Make Fitness -- Your Business

"It is she who has enough confidence to define success and failure for herself who succeeds.”
Have you ever thought about making an additional income for your family, from home, while reaching your fitness goals?
YOU: - must genuinely WANT to help and encourage others as you work on your own journey. - do NOT have to be a fitness professional or be at your ideal weight/goal. - KNOW you were meant for something greater - WANT to create independence & freedom for you & your family - Want to be your own boss- work when you want, where you want doing what you LOVE! - are COACHABLE and willing to spend time making short-term sacrifices in order to spend the rest of your life enjoying long-term success!

My Why has Changed...

Tonight, I was watching my little Lexi face light up when she was watching fireworks. She wanted to watch videos after we got home of the firework display and we came across a Disney one. She watched it with such an amazement. Then, asked if we can go. She asked over and over, with the same amazement.
My dream as a little girl has always been to go to Disney. Now having two girls, I can truly see what an experience this will be for them.
.
.
As being a coach, my why has certainly changed over the past few years. It started out for me to get in my me time and cover my Shakeology. Then, it turned into covering my car payments, grocery bill, and any extras that came up. Now, I have been able to match my husbands income, which has been helping us to get through this patch in between jobs for my husband.
Now, my new WHY is to get us to Disney. It is definitely something that is going to be worth working for, because I can't wait to surprise them with tickets. I am in this for the long haul as being a coach, mentor, and leader. Being in a business like this, gives you the opportunity to dream, but most importantly make those dreams a reality.
If you had the chance to change your why, what would it be?
