#21DayFix Day#19 #100LBWeightLossJourney – Update

Okay, time to get caught up, hopefully, on everything I wanted to get said in my last post.

#1 – I want to tell you about all the positive changes in my life.

Let’s see.

• My fingers are growing, they never used to grow. My hair is growing faster and I’m not losing as many hairs in the shower everyday.
• I’m learning to eat better. I’m learning to cook healthier.
• I’m definitely learning that I DO like more than I thought I did. I can eat things like whole grains and whole wheat pasta and I will survive, and I’ll actually enjoy it!
• My clothes are getting too big for me.
• I have more energy.
• My overall health is better!
• My urges to snack are lessening
• I feel full(satisfied) longer
• My complexion is clearer
• I’m more positive in my mood
• When someone asks me how I am, I say “great or good” not “i’m here….”
• Finding gratefulness in everyday

And more and more and more! 🙂

#2 – I want to tell you about all the benefits I have noticed with drinking Shakeology and eating clean.

I pretty much covered that above in #1. But, I will tell you this. I do not “like” the taste of Shakeology, especially not the chocolate one. However, there are many things you can do to make a shake palatable to you. I have found that as my taste buds grew accustomed to drinking it every morning post workout, that I do not “hate” the taste as much as I once did.

The BENEFITS definitely outweigh the taste when it comes to Shakeology.Although, there are people out there who LOVE the taste of Shakeology. This shake is jam packed with wonderful herbs, minerals and vitamins. I cannot imagine not having it every morning. It has become my cup of coffee, only way better for me!
Let me show you what I’m talking about:

 

#3 – I want to tell you my big update and respond to some questions I’ve received from readers.

This would’ve been my big update from last week:

 

And then, the fact that I had an amazing opportunity to meet the head of Beach Body, Carl Daikeler. Whom is one of the most humble, sincere and beautiful people I have ever met. But, that will all get talked about in another post. And I also got to meet Autumn Calabrese, the trainer and creator from 21 DayFix. She is also very humble and sweet and beautiful. I was extremely starstruck when meeting them both. It was a big honor and being acknowledged by them personally and a chance to talk to them was AWESOME!

Now, to respond to a question I was asked by one of my followers.

I was asked if I felt intimidated or bothered by “skinny” people trying to coach me or help me lose weight. Here is my response to that.

Yes, I used to get offended and bothered by people who were smaller than me trying to “help” me lose weight or get healthy. I always felt targeted, embarrassed, and angry. Perhaps the person had lost weight but, they had never been as big as me. They truly did NOT understand what I was going through….at least that is how I felt. My sister in law, whom to me, has always been thin or fit was the one who really changed things for me. At first I felt angry that her and my brother had joined this “Beach Body” company and became coaches and were now “preaching” about the benefits and what everyone needed to do to lose weight or feel better. What I missed initially, is all they wanted to do was help me.

I now know and understand that it does not matter what the person looks like, how big or small they are, what their education is. Everyone has different ways that they are capable in providing help to others. I also now understand that it does not matter how much weight you need to lose, we all go through similar feelings and ups and downs. Everyone has different things that affect their weight. For some, it is how much salt they eat, for others it’s carbs, and some an addiction to sugar. Some people have to work harder because their metabolism doesn’t do it for them.

So, I think that about covers everything I wanted to say last week. 🙂 I’m sure I’ll touch on the same subjects again.

In November I have a FREE Challenge Group coming up. “Jump Start to the Holidays”, you can join the group by filling out the contact form at the bottom of the Day12 Update page found here: https://chaosandsilence.wordpress.com/2014/10/21/21dayfix-update-day12/ .

#21DayFix Day#6 #100LBWeightLossJourney

I feel so good today. Inside. My body is slowly feeling healthier. My mind is feeling healthier. I’m learning to eat better.

Today is a FANTABULOUS day.

This morning I managed to eat my teaspoon portion which I usually end up forgetting. I used it on my apple slices. If you have never tried peanut butter on apple, you should. I used to think it was a gross idea to put peanut butter on apple…who does that? Crazy health nuts do, that’s who….guess I must be turning into one (a small part of me anyways..LOL) because I had apple slices with peanut butter this morning. And I really, really enjoyed it!!

Breakfast for Day#6!

Let me tell you Autumn Calabrese kicked my butt on today’s workout. It was tough!! I could barely make it through the last rounds of each set. I pushed as hard as I could push. I was dripping sweat onto my mat, it was literally oozing out of the pores on my arms….crazy, nasty sweat. But, guess what? I know when that happens, that I have really given it my all.

Getting really excited about an upcoming event next weekend!

Hoping that we get a couple more people to join us on our brutally long drive to Quebec next weekend!

(Financially, it would be very helpful- we might be sleeping in the car if we don’t.LOL)

My SIL and I are venturing on a 13hr road trip to Boucherville, Quebec, for what I believe is the last stop in the Canadian Tour for Beach Body.

We are going to get a chance to meet Autumn Calabrese (and workout with her!) and Carl & Isabelle Daikeler. We are both pumped for this opportunity!

 

Went last night and did my first class of PIYO . My SIL is teaching it. Went well, worked it hard, really hard….check out the after pic:

Came home and had my snack (no photo sorry). Sunflower seeds, crackers, and cereal with a bottle of water. 🙂

End of Day#6!

 I was feeling a little * meh* about my food today. Running out of certain things and still have how many days left to go on the challenge? Argh. But, I did a little food prepping today. Finally came up with a lunch idea that would be a little more then dry spinach, dry chicken and veggies…. I cooked down the spinach (which turned my 2 green containers into less than half a green container) and shredded some cheese (my blue container). I am going to use these to make tortillas for lunch. I’ll be getting two greens and 1 red, which both I find hard to eat as many as I need to. I’ll also be adding in my chicken which will give me a red, plus the tortilla, so there’s a yellow too!

Portioned off, cooked down spinach, and shredded cheese for tortilla wraps.

I  ended up having a 2nd shake today to try to help with my reds. In the end I was victorious with finishing my reds but ended up only having 1 green today…..whoops! Point being, I’m full, I’m satisfied and it is not the end of the world if I do not finish all my container servings.

See you tomorrow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
