21 Day Fix

What is the 21 Day Fix? If you've read my blog or seen my Facebook posts, my journey began with Focus T25 in July 2014. When I was doing T25, I heard about the 21 Day Fix and I was interested since it combined at-home workouts with nutrition. Plus, the program is only 21 days long and promises to bring you great results. I wanted to find another workout that I could rotate with T25 for the winter months. My goal for the 21 Day Fix was to continue toning up.

I had heard read mixed reviews online about the 21 Day Fix and I was nervous because I loved T25 and Shaun T so much. I was afraid it wasn't going to be a good enough workout for me after I had been used to the high impact of the T25 workouts --- well, it's safe to say that after a few minutes into the first workout, I was completely humbled. The 21 Day Fix workouts are so simple, but they will whip your butt into shape! 

I was obsessed with Shaun T when I did T25... he was so motivating and always pushing you to go further. The 21 Day Fix is done with Autumn Calabrese... I am now absolutely in love with her. She makes me feel guilty if I am not giving 110% effort! I don't know how she does it, but she makes me push past all of my excuses. Plus, she travels to my living room everyday to give me a personal workout, even in rain and snow! And she gives you great motivating quotes during each workout :) I love my motivating quotes!

The best thing is that this program is a great transition from a program like T25 if you want to switch up your workouts or for someone who hasn't worked out in a while because there is a modifier for every move and breaks! It is also great for someone who has an event coming up that they don't have 10 weeks to commit to along-term program like T25.

These were comparison pictures that I posted on Day 5 and Day 11:





Okay - so let's get into the details. The program involves 7 at-home workouts, as well as portion control containers and an eating plan.

The Workouts

The 7 workouts range from 27 - 32 minutes (30 minutes on average). In addition, there is a 10-minute ab fix that you can choose to do on any or all of the days! If you order from me, you will also get a bonus Plyo workout. All of the workouts are designed to use multiple muscle groups at once so that your body burns the maximum calories. Autumn did a great job of introducing variety into each day's workout. Here are the core workouts:


There is a modifier for each move and she also demonstrates varying degrees of difficulty level so that you can step it up or step it down depending on your fitness level. 

The Eating Plan

With the 21 Day Fix, there is no need to count calories, ounces or cups. You just need the seven color-coded portion control containers and your Shakeology shaker cup to give you the right portions every time, so you don't eat too much or too little. If the food fits into the container, you can eat it! You will be eating every food group. Here are the containers:


You will answer a few questions about your weight and goals and that will tell you how many of each container you can eat each day. Based off that, you will form your meal plans and find recipes that are "21 Day Fix Approved"!

As part of my challenge groups, I provide sample meal plans and new recipes every week. Meal planning can be stressful so I help to take the stress off of it you want to follow the sample meal plan. All of the recipes I provide are simple, family-friendly and approved by my picky husband and toddler!

Some of the recipes included in my challenge groups are Mexican Lasgna, Loaded Potato Soup, English Muffin Pizzas and Crockpot Beef & Broccoli. Sounds delicious, right?!

That's it - it's simple, I promise you! I am doing Round 2 of the 21 Day Fix now and still following the meal plan about 80/20 and it's helping me to maintain my weight and continue to tone up!

Here are my final results from Round 1:



I wanted to share my journey with you in hopes of inspiring someone that you CAN make a change in your life - you just have to make a commitment to do it! I would love to coach you through the 21 Day Fix...it's your turn for a transformation!
