Days 18/19: Get Back up!

I love Maya Angelou..she always knew exactly how to word things...

This pretty much sums up my last few days this week..i have been thrown a few whirlballs the past few days..and yes my diet choices have suffered some..however i know that I am almost at the end of my first 21 days and that I have come so far..which means I will prevail!!

So here we are on days 18 and 19

Of 21!! Woohoo!! The finish line is near! People ask me is it hard?? Well what exactly is considered hard? Death? Grief? Loss? Those things are all hard..this is NOT hard my friends..this is about a lifestyle change..there is no magic pill..there is no quick fix..this is just the foods we are meant to eat fueling our bodies :)

Day 16: Arm day!

Woohoo, it's ARM day!!!! Another one of my favorite days...why you may ask?? Well because summer, aka tank top season is right around the corner :) And who doesn't love some sweet arms on a female?? Strong is the new skinny!!!

So now it's time to work on that booty!!! I am so excited because now I can choose from any workout that I want when I want with the new BeachBody on Demand! If I want leg workouts, I can choose from a bunch of DVDS now right from my home laptop or phone, simple and easy!

Day 15: it's the FINAL stretch!

Happy Monday all!! Time for some Monday Motivation! Remember your beauty is not measured in pounds!! And you mean so much more than that number on the scale! Embrace the fact that you are able to nourish your body and take care of it..because it truly is a gift! 💖

Today marks my last 7 days on the CTC plan! I decided to add in some extra abs and cardio this week..I cannot wait to see  everyone's results! 

This week is all about the final push..the final run to the finish line and the final fight! So many people would have given up by now when they think of foods or things they cannot have..instead I like to think of all the things I CAN have! I can have strength when I am feeling weak, I can have faith when I am feeling low, I can have encouragement when I am down..keeping positive in every day life sets us all up to succeed no matter what our goal is! Have a great week all!! I will be checking in on everyone! And let the final push continue! 

Day 13 and Day 14: ohhh the weekend!

Hello Daylight Savings!! 

So if i could sum up this weekend in a few words it would be ..hectic..busy..limited time..limited food choices..and while it could have been a much worse disaster...it just didn't go as planned..bummer!

The main issue with my foods was that I had no access to heat up my proteins :(

So while I prepared well, It was kinda out of my control! The cold pork and chicken just flat out stunk! 👎

Today was much better..but add in the time change and realizing at 3pm you have only had one Red container when you need 6 a day 👎..disaster again!

The good thing? Tomorrow is a new day..and it's Monday👍 i know how great I have felt on this plan the past 14 days and that will continue to push me farther..oh and how is it 5pm already?? And it's light out! ☀️ bizarre!

Whose in for the nice week of weather! I know I am!! Sun and warmer weather is definitely what the doctor ordered!!

 

Have a great rest of the weekend all!

It's Friday..Friday!! Day 12!

Wow I cannot believe we are 12 DAYs in!!!! What i cannot believe more is that yes while I am down a few pounds..I have been 100% faithful to this plan!! 😜 that's HUGE for me guys!! Because you do NOT understand..i LOVE i mean I LOVE sweets..and never thought in 21 days that sweet tooth would be vanished...like that extra roll on my thigh-cha-ching!!

So another weekend is upon us, and I have to say I am pretty scared because I will be traveling all weekend..usually when I am gone for the weekend I PLAN on eating healthy..but things derail FAST! No worries..i will NOT fail you guys! 👏👏

I am gonna pack my foods tonite because tomorrow is a CTC day..which means I need 100% on my A-game! ✅

With a little time and preparation, i know i can and WILL succeed! 

The only bummer is that my workouts will be on hold today and tomorrow..but I wont be sitting for much so that should hope balance that out! 👍

Have a great weekend all! And I will report back in tomorrow !! Let's pray I can contain all this excitement just to myself because this program is REAL!Like Autumn says "Give me 21 days and I will give you the body you always wanted" ✅👍💪

And remember your coach is alwaaayyys watching!

Day 11: LEG DAY...one of my favorite days:)

It's LEG DAY! And day 11 on 21Fix Extreme CTC plan! Commitment definitely delivers results! 👍✅💪

I feel amazing..#hellobootyshorts #helloabs

I can say for once I am super excited for shorts season! One of my favorite quotes from today is .."we don't quit when we are tired..we quit when we are done." 

This is so true! I upped my weights today to 12 and 20pds and I was tired..my legs were giving out..but my mind stayed in the game and I pushed to the end! I love love love seeing all the changes that can happen when you put yourself in the game at 110%!!

As far as my foods, I have seemed to keep alot of my meals the same during the week...reasoning being its just more fast and simple..I love the diced chicken breast for lunch with some cottage cheese (1.5 red) along with a veggie of some sort..the mustard is free and adds some ZING!🎉

I make sure to keep my tracker at my desk all day..If I eat it, I track it..simple as that! That way I can't sneak in a few treats and not know it LOL 😳

Day 10: Almost halfway there:)

I cannot believe we are already 10

Days in! My challengers are killing it! We have cleaned up our diets and we are all have amazing results! 👏👍 Everyone is right on target and I couldn't be more

Proud! This is my motto for today..keep going! We are halfway there and the finish line is near! You have come this far, so why stop now?

Many people are asking what are some of my favorite daily foods!🍇🍎🍏🍊🍋🍉🍓🍑🍈🍌🍐🍍🍠🍆🍅🌽

Think perimeter of the grocery store! That's it! All your fresh, wholesome goodness is filled with colors and flavor! I was once told if you think about all the processed foods out there, they really are all bland looking..I never truly thought about that until I put the cookies, crackers, white breads, etc etc next to my red peppers, green spinach and kale, red berries and so on! And now I see it truly makes a TON of sense!! The more colorful the food the more nutrition you are getting!! 

I am feeling better and stronger every day! And that's all that matters! 💪👍

Oh and speaking of feeling strong (and sore) have you ever taken an Epsom bath? I took my first bath in about 15 years tonite! It was an Epsom lavendar soak and was well needed and deserved! A great way to relieve those sore muscles  is to soak them! An Epsom bath is just what the doctor ordered🙏
