Lunch was a winner!

2 corn tortillas

2 Tbsp of tomato sauce

1/2 Blue container of shredded mozzarella

3 slices of Ham chopped up

half of a purple container of chopped pineapple.

Then for dessert,

 1/2 a red container of low-fat Ricotta mixed with a splash of vanilla extract & a bit of Stevia

 with 1/2 a purple container of frozen cherries heated & poured on top

It's like crustless cheesecake! So good & really filling. 

Totals: 1 yellow, 1 red, 1 blue, 1 purple. (+ 2tbsp of a green, so I will skimp slightly tonight on my green container.)

Chicken Salad

Perfect lunch for a picnic with your sweetie this summer

INGREDIENTS:
Salad-
2 red containers of cooked chicken breast, chopped
2 purple containers of red grapes, chopped
16 whole, raw cashews, chopped
Dried or fresh Thyme to taste

Dressing-
1/2 red container low fat plain Greek yogurt 
1/2 red container low fat cottage cheese

Mix all of the salad ingredients in a bowl. Blend the dressing ingredients together (I used a bullet blender) to mix well & lose the curds from the cottage cheese. Fold the dressing into the salad & season with salt to taste.

This recipe serves 2 - so dish out half of the bowl & enjoy! It would be delish in 1/2 of a whole wheat pita if you have a yellow container to spare.

Cauliflower Crust Pizza

If you are on 21 Day Fix you will need:

1 green container of shredded cauliflower

1/2 green container of tomatoes

1/2 green container of spinach

1/4 red container 1/2 egg

1/4 red container 1 piece of turkey bacon

1 blue of mozzarella cheese

21 Day Fix all seasoning mix

oregano

• Preheat oven to 450
• Shredded enough cauliflower to fit into a green container, this was roughly 1/4 of a cauliflower head.Transferre it into a bowl and microwaved it for 3 minutes to get them nice and tender.Put it aside and let it cool.Once cooled, ring some of the water out. 
• While cauliflower is cooling, blend up the tomatoes, a basil leaf or two, 1 -2 tablespoons of water, and the 21 Day Fix all seasoning mix. Once its nice and blended, poure it into a small pot and brought it to a boil. Turn it down to a simmer and added a pinch of stevia to help reduce the sourness tomatoes have when they are being cooked. Add oregano to pot and let simmer for 20-30 min 
• Once you started the tomato sauce, mix 1 egg really good. You are only going to use half of the egg. Pour half of the mixed egg into the bowl of shredded cooled down cauliflower. Mix them all together. Once cooked the cauliflower gives of a little bit of a sweetness. If you do not like that, I would suggest you add some seasoning here. Sprayed a cooking sheet with cooking oil and made a round shape with the cauliflower egg mixture. I’ve heard that people will also put cheese in the cauliflower but I didn’t want to sacrifice any of my topping cheese so I didn’t add any in. After you oven heats to 450 put the sucker in!
• Bake crust for 10 min, flip and cook for 10 more minutes.
• After the full 20 minutes of baking in the oven, pile on the toppings!
• Put it back in the oven for 5 minutes at the same temp. 
  

Broccoli and Cheese Stuffed Chicken

INGREDIENTS

1 Chicken Breast (1 red )

Cheddar Cheese (1 blue)

Broccoli (1 green)

Salt

Pepper

Onion Powder

Garlic Powder

Cayenne Pepper

Paprika

Preheat your over to 350 F. 

Chop the broccoli up in to little pieces and put them aside.

 Take a chicken breast and butterfly it.

Placed saran wrap on top of it and started to hit it with a mallet to get the chicken thinner and the same width all over for even cooking .Put all the seasonings.

 Add a layer of cheese (if you are doing 21 Day Fix, save some of the cheese for the top) and then a layer of broccoli . Make sure you don’t put too much or else you wont be able to roll it up! Start on one side and rolled the chicken breast in, tuck any sides . Once its rolled up,  turn it upside down so the part where the chicken ended wont open up.

 Put more seasoning  on the top. If you are using an oven, I would also rub olive oil all over this at this point too.

Bake it in the oven for 25-35 minutes. Once the chicken is cooked,  take them out, add more cheese, and broil for 2-5 minutes until the cheese on top is nice and bubbly!
Serve with a salad.

21 Day Fix Womens Results

Transformation Tuesday!! I love Transformtion Tuesdays. Its real people getting real results.
The 21 Day fix has been extremly popluar since its realsese Febuary 3rd, 2014. Both women and men snatched this up quickly. I cant blame them. Its 21 days long, just 30 minutes a day and even comes with color coded container to help you with portionn control. 

I have learned I eat too big of salads and not enough protein. The booklet will tell you how much of each conterniter to eat. You calcuate your weight with other numbers to find out how many of each conteier you will be eating for the day. I was scared when I opened the package to see the size of the contiers. I truly thought that it was not going to be enough food! But the sizes are a illulsion. I was full and shocked I could eat that much food and still lose weight.

3 Day Quick Fix

Nothing is off limits. If it fits in the container, you can eat it. Wine is even allowed.

I have been getting a lot of great questions as to whether or not it really works and can you maintain your progress?!  Well first of all the 21 Day Fix is not a quick fix but the start of a lifestyle change.  It truly is 21 days to creating healthier and new habits.  The 21 day fix is specifically designed to teach you proper portion control, to give you a variety of foods to choose from but not limit you to drastically. Its almost a fool proof system to help anyone get started with changing their habits. 

You aren't in the gym for hours each day to achieve results, only 30 minutes a day each week for 3 weeks.  Your workouts are a combination of strength training, cardio, Pilates and yoga.  The workouts are really engaging and honestly you get a great workout in that amount of time.  No matter your ability level you can do this workout.

So the magic happens when you combine the two together, nutrition and fitness plus a killer support system like my challenge groups and you will have amazing success!!!!  You have people who have never stuck to anything in their life getting amazing results.  I have customers who were stuck at a plateau in their weight loss that have done the fix and broke through!  The Fix is making it all possible for people to create a new lifestyle.  It doesn't end at day 21, that is actually where the journey begins.  Its after the 21 days that you really truly are seeing drastic results, you are changing your mindset and what once was work is now becoming a routine!  

Full time women and stay at home moms got amazing results! 

Farah lost 14 pounds!

Erica lost 13 lbs abd 25 inches!!

7 inches in 21 days

amazing transforation!!

The meals were easy to make and the guess work was taken away. Follow the guide lines that you are given. The meals I had were awesome!

A typical breakfast. Oatmeal, berries and flax seed.

Each challenger committed to following the program for 21 days, sticking with the nutrition guide and replacing 1 meal a day with Shakeology!  Each one of these challengers/coaches is continuing on with their second round of the fix or have moved onto other Beachbody Fitness Programs!

It's about TIME for you AFTER picture!!!

Why I decided to stop the 21 Day Fix

Don't get me wrong, I love the 21 Day Fix. Its 30 minutes so you can get in and get out. Autumn Calibres is a awesome instructor. She kept me motivated, I laughed, enjoyed the workouts and had fun. Autumn showed me that I can still have fun doing Yoga and Pilate's. To classes that I have NEVER enjoyed before.

In the past, I have completed several other Beachbody workouts, Turbo Jam, Turbo Fire, Les Mills Combat (twice), T25 and Insanity. The 21 Day Fix for ME is not challenging enough. I saw results, especially in my arms and shoulders. But if I am not lying on the floor, panting like a dog, I feel like I haven't got a great workout in. This is from doing high intensity infernal training for years. So i have not stopped because I was bored, I stopped because after working out for over 3 years, I like a HIIT workoouts (high intensity interval training). And there is one disc that had that for the 21 day fix.

I recommend this program to everyone. Not too sure about portion control, just starting out with your new health and fitness journey or to moms and dads who need a workout with results in 30 minutes. Its just not right for me AT THIS TIME. I am going to come back after I am done P90x3 and complete this workout.

The 21 day fix is easy to follow workouts, PLUS the color containers make meal prep and planning completely fool proof.

Some of my Challengers are on their 3rd Round and some have lost 20 pounds!








Again, I love this program, but I feel for me at this present time, I would like something that is going to push me to the max. So what is it I am going to be doing, P90X3.

I have had P90X3 sitting in my book case since December watching me, waiting for its turn to be picked. I have tried out some of the workouts before and I know I am going to love it.


I am still accepting application for my next two challenge groups, April 21st and May 5. These spots fill extremely fast, especially with summer right around the corner. Apply today

21 Day Fix Review

Eeeekkk!!So excited. I got my 21 Day Fix earlier this week and I couldn't wait to get started!! I usually wait for my challenge group but this time I thought I would give it a go. This way I am ready for the questions
about the program.

So what is The 21 Day Fix?
It is a 21 day fitness program that will change the way you view your food. How many of us never know how many calories we should have. Or how much of a serving we need. The days of weighting, measuring, counting calories IS OVER!!! If it fits in the container, EAT IT. There is no guessing. The work has been done for you!


At first I thought there is no way that is the size of the containers. They looked SO SMALL!! I thought fr sure I was going to starve. I must say, I am impressed. I did weigh and measure my food for years and this comes extremely close to what I was taught and what worked for me. You calculate your weight with some other numbers and your overall number will determine how many of each container you will get in a day.

Purple - Fruit (I have 2)
Green - Veggies (I have 3)
Red - Protein (I have 4)
Blue - Dairy (I have 1)
Yellow - Carbs (I have 2)
Orange - Oil (I have 1)
Teaspoons - Nut butters (I have 2)






They give you the tools. You just have to use them!! It is completely fool proof! If you are anything like me, you have been on every "diet" going! This is not  DIET! This is a way of life. You want to have a cookie ... SURE! It just has to fit in the container with the lid on. Chips, no problem. Want some wine? DO IT UP!



                                                      

Making my meals was so easy. I got to design my food around how I felt for the day.









The work outs are 30 minutes. I would dread coming home after working a 12 hr shift and working out for a hour. 30 minutes flies. I LOVE the fact there are REAL people in the dvds. Real people? Yes, people who are not 110 lbs with abs like Shaun T. I'm talking about women who have curves! Men who still have a belly. When I was over 200 lbs doing the programs at home, no one looked like me. Not this one!! REAL PEOPLE!! 

NOT ANYMORE

1 Week and I will be in hot sunny weather. I cant wait!!! I have never really been on vacation before. So this is all new!! Not even a plane. So most days will be spent at the beach in a bathing suit, a bikini to be exact. I cant wait to put on my new one! Its eclectic blue, goes amazing with my tan and fits like a DREAM!

I would cringe at the thoughts of shopping for  bathing suit. Not after INSANITY. Shaun T did a body good!

Included in the 21 Day Fix, was a meal plan for a 3 day Fix to get bikini ready. So I am taking on the challenge. Again, you follow how many containers you get (different then the numbers above) and eat what you are told. I am confidant in how I look. But lets face it, we all want to lose 5-10lbs before vacation. I just want to lose the 3 I put on. After the 3 days, hubby and I are doing a Shakeology 3 day Cleanse. I will post our results before we go away.

Looking forward to my challengers starting their 21 Day Fix this Monday. If you are interested in my next challenge group, please fill out the form below.
