Sara's Transformation!!

I would like everyone to meet Sara! Sara started her journey with the 21 Day Fix in May in our Fit Mommas challenge group. She absolutely ROCKED it! The support and accountability in the group is what helped her stay on track - daily motivation, accountability, support, healthy recipes, and a place to share your struggles of the day. The 21 Day Fix is the type of program that allows busy moms to be able to workout every day - workouts are only 30 minutes long, eat a healthy, clean diet - portion control containers help with showing you how much you should be eating, and provide you with the tools necessary to plan your meals ahead of time so you don't have excuses on why you can't live a healthy lifestyle. It is only 21 days long, long enough for you to create new, healthier habits. 

In these 21 days, you can lose up to 15 pounds, depending on your body and how much you can afford to lose.  BUT, it isn't about the number of pounds you have lost or the number of inches you have lost. What it is about, is the confidence, physical strength, and a healthier mindset you gain that will help you continue your journey. Sara's before and after photos show a drastic difference in her appearance, and the smile on her face shows how much happier she is after her first 21 days of being on this program. I remember her sharing a "Flex Friday" picture and she was EXTREMELY EXCITED to see some muscle definition! This is motivation enough to keep pursuing your journey. Being a mom, wife and working full time, taking those 30 minutes for herself, Sara was able to create a new lifestyle for herself! That's all it takes - 30 minutes a day, planning your meals, and being committed to this new lifestyle. During the challenge group, Sara was very involved, posting multiple times a day to help keep herself accountable. We are all in there to support, motivate, and help each other reach your goals!

I COULD NOT BE MORE PROUD OF YOU, SARA!

Since completing her first round of the Fix, Sara had decided to become a Beachbody coach herself and start the 21 Day Fix Extreme after she does the 3 Day Refresh! I am so excited to have Sara on the team! She will be a great role model and mentor to everyone she works with! Sara is just one of many success stories from the 21 Day Fix. With the popularity of this program, I run monthly 21 Day Fix Challenge groups. If this is something that you may be interested, join me in my next challenge group starting June 22nd!

3 Day Shakeology Cleanse

I had started to plateau with my weight loss again and was feeling down and a bit sluggish.  In one of the challenge groups that I am participating in, someone had mentioned doing the 3 day cleanse with shakeology.  I have wanted to try it for a few months, but never went through with it.  Last week a group of women completed it together and saw great results!  So, this week another group of us women are going it.  I will be completely honest with you - it is tough!  If I wasn't home all day, it may be easier, but being home, especially with a sick husband, it is tough to not snack or have a bite of what he is eating.

3 Day Shakeology Cleanse:

In essence, you have 3 Shakeology shakes a day, 2 cups of green tea, 1 piece of fruit, a salad (3 cups of veggies, 4 oz. of grilled chicken or fish, light dressing such as olive oil and vinegar), and at least 64 ounces of water.  I try to drink a gallon a day, minimum.  Do this each day for 3 days.

I did not get measurements of pictures before day 1, but I did weigh myself.  I will weigh myself each morning to see what happens.

An example of my days:

Day 1:

Wake up: Green Tea
Breakfast: 1st Shake with 1 banana, 12 oz. of water, 7 ice cubes.  Blend all and enjoy!
Snack: 1 orange
Lunch: 2nd Shake with 12 oz. of water, 7 ice cubes.  Blend and Enjoy!
Mid Afternoon: Green Tea
Dinner: Salad (3 cups total of salad greens, tomatoes, cucumbers) with light dressing (only used 2 teaspoons), piece of grilled fish (Swai).
Snack: 3rd Shake with 12 oz. of water, 7 ice cubes.  Blend and Enjoy!

TIP: Throughout the day: DRINK WATER! It will help curb your appetite a little bit.

Salad with grilled Swai

How I felt: 

I felt pretty good after day 1.  I was a little hungry throughout the day, but I am also used to eating every 2-3 hours (about 2,200 calories a day).  There were times that I got hungry, so I had to preoccupy myself until the hunger passed.  They say you can continue to workout while doing the 3 day Shakeology cleanse, but I did not workout today, aside from a walk with my husband and dog in the afternoon.

Day 2:

Well, I weighed myself in the morning, and am happy to report that I am down 2.5 pounds already!  I was feeling tired and had a slight headache.

Wake up: Green Tea
Breakfast: 1st Shake with 1 banana, 12 oz. of water, 7 ice cubes.  Blend all and enjoy!
Snack: 1 orange
Lunch: 2nd Shake with 12 oz. of water, 7 ice cubes.  Blend and Enjoy!
Mid Afternoon: Green Tea
Dinner: Salad (3 cups total of salad greens, tomatoes, cucumbers) with light dressing (only used 2 teaspoons), piece of grilled chicken.
Snack: 3rd Shake with 12 oz. of water, 7 ice cubes.  Blend and Enjoy!

TIP: Throughout the day: DRINK WATER! It will help curb your appetite a little bit.

How I felt: 

I felt pretty good after day 2. I was a little more tired than usual, but it wasn't anything too bad.  I was feeling hungrier than I did on Day 1, so I made my salad a little earlier in the day.  No real workout either, just a walk around town to get out and soak up some sunshine...cold sunshine, but sunshine nonetheless :)  Hoping for a strong Day 3!

Day 3:

Well, I weighed myself in the morning, and am happy to report that I am down 6.5 pounds in two days!  I was still feeling tired, but my headache was gone.

Wake up: Green Tea
Breakfast: 1st Shake with 1 banana, 12 oz. of water, 7 ice cubes.  Blend all and enjoy!
Snack: 1 orange
Lunch: 2nd Shake with 12 oz. of water, 7 ice cubes.  Blend and Enjoy!
Mid Afternoon: Green Tea
Dinner: Salad (3 cups total of salad greens, tomatoes, cucumbers) with light dressing (only used 2 teaspoons), piece of grilled fish (Swai).
Snack: 3rd Shake with 12 oz. of water, 7 ice cubes.  Blend and Enjoy!

TIP: Throughout the day: DRINK WATER! It will help curb your appetite a little bit.

How I felt: 

I felt pretty good after day 3.

Day 4:

Well, I weighed myself in the morning, and am happy to report that I am down 9.5 pounds in three days! CLEANSE IS DONE! Time for whole food again!  This cleanse was a test of my willpower and determination. However, I was determined to stay on track and get over my plateau!  I won't lie, it was a tough 3 days, but it was also very worth it.
