21 Day Fix

To get my "clean eating" on, I followed the guidelines from the 21 Day Fix.  If you are interested in purchasing the 21 Day Fix challenge kit, go to the Beachbody website.  Now, I know what you're thinking.  I was skeptical too.  Why do I need to pay just to learn how to eat, and I'm not going to turn into a commercial here, but even if you only purchase the challenge pack, it is worth it!

One of the products you will be purchasing is a 30 day supply of Shakeology.  I really like this as a daily meal replacement.  I have noticed that when I have a shake for breakfast I am not hungry the rest of the morning and I have more energy throughout the day.  And as a bonus, you can add to the mix and make it taste just like your favorite milk shake. I have it as an automatic at home delivery every 30 days, but you don't have to do it that way.  You can order it one supply at a time.

You will also get the "Fix" series of workout videos.  My preferred mode of exercise right now is not the Fix videos.  I have been in love with Jazzercise for about 7 months now.  However, the videos are only 30 minutes long so it is really nice to have available if I know I need to get a workout in, but am feeling short on time for the day.  But, if you already have a source of exercise that you love and feel good about, you don't need to change that to make this lifestyle work.

Probably the most beneficial thing that I got from the challenge pack was the color coded portion cups and clean eating guide.  The guide is my eating Bible.  I have sticky notes sticking out of it, notes written on it, and use it on a daily basis.  I realized that I had a pretty good handle on what "healthy" food was, but my portions and daily intake of different food groups was not healthy, and probably keeping me above my desired weight.  

Ok, enough of the promo.  What I really want this blog to be is a place where I can share some of my favorite healthy recipes, as well as show how I take some of our favorite (non-healthy) recipes and healthify them.  If you do have any questions at all about the 21 Day Fix, and how it has worked for both me and my husband, please message me and I would be happy to talk to you more about it.
