What Do Those Colored Containers Mean??

If you've been following me on any social media platform, you've probably seen my food in colored containers. But have you ever thought to yourself...what exactly do they mean?

Well I'm here to tell ya!

I've been following the 21 day fix for a whole now, not so strictly, but I do still use the containers. They were created by the amazing trainer Autumn Calabrese. It teaches you proper portion control. Did you know you could over eat on healthy foods too? Next time your trying to lose those last 5-10 pounds check your portions. 

This program really does work! Let's find out what fits in each!!

6 colored containers -

💚 is for your veggies 

❤️ is for your protein

💛 is for your carbs

💜 is for your fruits

💙 is for your healthy fats

✴️ is for your seeds, oils, and dressings

along w/ teaspoons (the number varies depending on your calorie intake)

There are a list of foods that count for each group. The first 1/3 is the very best for you. You are able to still have anything on the list, she just made it to show which are the most nutrient dense. If it fits in the container you can have it. 

Feel free to make your meals exciting. We were just talking about this in my current challenge group. They only can have 3 greens and they were going to use one for lettuce, but wanted to add loads of veggies & also likes a veggie for dinner. So, how do they do that? Use one green container for lettuce and your second container with mixed veggies.

You do this for three weeks & follow the meal plan, watch your results.

Have you tried the 21 day fix? If so, what did you think of it. What were your results. And of course some of your favorite recipes I'm always looking to add new ones!

21 Day Fix Challenger Success Story

Seriously can I give an AMAZZZZZZZING shout out to one of my fabulous challengers.

 

I met this challenger through IG. We connected, she reached out to me. She actually already had the 21 day fix & asked to join my next challenge. She did this on her own and is now doing the fix again in the challenge group. But this is her FIRST ROUND RESULTS!!!!

 

When she posted this picture in our group, I was seriously jumping for JOY!!!!

 

Here is what she had to say -

 

"Alrighty ladies, today was my first and only weigh in of my first 21 Day fix! Throughout the three weeks I stuck strictly to the nutritional plan, did the workouts EVERY day (with running added in 3-4 times a week in the final weeks) and cut out all alcohol.

I was super nervous about posting this, but with the encouragement of Lynsey and the inspiration of you ladies I know that I can do it!

...So three weeks later, and 9 pounds lighter, I'm feeling AMAZING!!! I cannot wait to continue the program today and work until I reach and maintain my goals! I hope this inspires you guys and helps you realize that YOU CAN DO THIS!!! I'm on cloud nine and am going to float it all the way downstairs to complete my workout!"

1 Round of the 21 Day Fix

I then had the chance to interview her on the program -

1. What made you decide to do the 21 day fix?
 I was very unhappy, not only with my body, but with my lifestyle. I was constantly tired and not motivated in any way to work out. When I did work out, it was hard to find the motivation to push myself without an outside influence. So really I was just not going anywhere fast.

2. What did you expect from joining a challenge group?
By joining the group, I was hoping to find motivation through other peoples success, and honestly, their struggle as well. I do much better when being held accountable opposed to having to hold myself accountable. I was also looking forward to the encouragement through people who were going through the same exact process that I was and could truly understand my struggles. I'm also very much a people person and love to surround myself with people of similar passions! Positivity and drive are contagious!

3. Did you have any reservations about joining?
I didn't have any reservations, to be honest. I was very excited!

4. What did you struggle with before starting your journey?
My biggest struggle was nutrition and alcohol. A large part of my social life revolves around going out to eat and out on the weekends. Starting meant changing my entire lifestyle, both professional, personal and social. I knew it was going to be a challenge to figure out alternate activities that didn't involve unhealthy habits! I knew that if I got my nutrition on track and began to see changes that I would be driven to push on through with my new lifestyle.

  5. What are 3 things that you learned about yourself?
One thing that I learned about myself was that I was eating WAY too much food. It took only a few days for my body to regulate to the amount and type of food that I was consuming. I realized after a few days of moderation, that with healthier foods I became a lot more full with a lot less (which seems silly and common sense, but it really didn't click until I experienced it first hand!). Another thing I learned about myself was that I really enjoyed making new and healthy meals! Planning out my food for the next day (I did a day by day basis) was one of my favorite parts of my day. A third thing that I learned was that I could have a social life without eating out and drinking alcohol. But that doesn't mean that I cut my social life out of my life. Instead I went out without drinking and was far more particular when choosing what I was eating when I was out to eat. I was truly excited to continue my social life, just with some healthy alterations.

  6. What is your honest opinion about the 21 day fix?
My honest opinion is that it is awesome and is everything that I had hoped for. It outlines everything you need to do while still allowing room for creativity. By creativity I don't mean just with recipes and food, but also with the workouts.My brain was trained that there was a work out every day, so adding a run or the ab fix on top of it, seemed like nothing! It is seriously a program made for the long haul, in that the nutritional plan and and workouts can be continued far further than 21 days!

7. What goals did you set for yourself and did you reach them?
I didn't set any numerical goals. All I truly wanted was to create a healthier lifestyle, stick to the workouts and start to treat my body better. Long longggg term goal is to run a half marathon!

8. Tell us your stats!
I didn't measure inches, but I lost 9 pounds! I was really excited smile emoticon I chose to not weigh myself throughout the process, hoping to focus less on the numbers and instead more on my physical and psychological progress.

9. If you could tell anyone ANYTHING who is currently hesitant about getting the 21 day fix & joining a group what would it be?
If you commit to it, you will see results. Plain and simple! If you want to change your lifestyle to a healthier one, the 21 day fix is a GREAT program!

  10. What's your next step & where do you go from here?
From here, I'm continuing the program! I started the program over yesterday! Sticking to the meal plan and am excited to see how far I can push my body.

Cinnamon Apple Drizzle

When I was planning my meals for the week I really wanted to add new things to the plan because I always eat the same thing. Which sometimes is good for me because I can stick to something, but I was just getting bored with me food. 

I don't know where I stumbled upon this creation but I'm so glad I did because it honestly is heavenly. I tried to savor every last bite! 

Ingredients:

- 3/4 cup plain Greek yogurt

- 1 medium size apple

- ground cinnamon

Cut the apple up in small pieces. Mix all the ingredients together. Add as much cinnamon as you'd like (but make sure it's ground and not cinnamon sugar :) 

For you fixers 1 red & 1 purple.
 

Be prepared to enjoy!

Welcome To My Fitness Journey

The Start of my Fitness Journey


Everyone has a beginning.
No one starts out in their dream body.
I didn't start out a perfect size.
My weight fluctuates on a weekly basis.
I try to follow the 80/20 rule, but sometimes that doesn't always happen.
There are days I can easily get out of bed to workout, and others I hit the snooze.

Remember we all start somewhere.
This is MY fitness journey.
YOURS is different than mine and EVERYONE else's you are comparing yourself too.

We all come from different backgrounds.
What motivates us is all different.
But our journeys all start with the decision to try.
The decision to show up.
And the decision to be consistent.

When I started I was lost & didn't know who I was.
I wasn't ever considered "overweight" , but I was so uncomfortable with myself.
I never felt good in my clothes.

I was at my wits end.
At this point I had tried everything - diets, weight loss drinks, not eating much & it worked until I stopped. Then I gained my weight back.
I was exhausted, miserable, and stuck.


Nothing comes easy.
Nothing is a quick fix.
If you are unhappy  only you have the power to change.
If you want to see weight loss or get your goal body, start simple with cutting out bad habits.

I am no where near complete with my journey.
I am only just getting started.
But I can tell you, I am starting to feel back to normal (whatever normal is supposed to feel like)

It started with a -

DECISION.
CHOICE.

then it became a -

HABIT.

You can't expect the results if you aren't taking the actions to move forward.

Believe in Yourself & All That You Stand For

CLX
Turbofire
Les Mills Combat
T25
21 Day Fix
Insanity Max 30
21 Day Fix Extreme
Shakeology
And a positive mindset

WHY NOT YOU???

Take a leap of faith. Take a chance. Don't give up on your journey.

Late Night Cravings

Where are my late night snackers at?

Are you shy and you don't want anyone to know?

Honestly, that's how I felt. Truth be told I would do great all day and as soon as I got home I was digging through the pantry, overheating, and eating everything in sight...

NOT COOL when you are working extremely hard to get back on track & getting healthy.

But I came up with this little masterpiece to curve any sweet tooth. Especially if you are like me and you crave sincerely yogurt, chocolate, you name it I eat it. It's something so simple I can't believe I never did it before. But I will say i try to stay away dairy and such because it messes with my stomach. Every once in awhile is okay for me though.

One small cup of Chobani Greek Yogurt (red container)

Two drops of raw honey

Tsp. of PB2 (counts as a teaspoon)

Mix it all together and enjoy the sweetness!

Bye Bye Cravings!

I'm A 21 Day Fix Grad.....AGAIN!!!!

It is official as of today, I am officially a 21 day fix (the original) grad AGAIN!!!! What does that mean? It means I have committed to the program in full and just finished it up again. I completed the program when it came out back in February of last year & I was doing some workouts here and there before , but I never went in 110% like I should have. This program is mind boggling, not only does it focus on the fitness piece but it targets the nutrition one as well and lets be honest we all know most of us struggle with that piece much MORE!!!!

BUT....to my surprise i wasn't paying attention and it was scheduled to release when I would finish week one. I didn't want to start another round of max 30 and stop, but i also wasn't keen on doing the 21 day fix for one week. That is when I decided to commit to the 21 days and dial into my nutrition. The first time around I focused on my nutrition for the first week, then I was just doing whatever (not good....) You can see my update on round one HERE

I committed and I was finishing it again!

Nutrition is honestly just one of those things that's a HUGE struggle for me. I feel like its a mental game. I crave something, know I shouldn't have it, but sometimes I still do, and then feel terrible after. But nutrition is honestly one of those things that make or break your results. Don't get me wrong, you can still lose weight by just working out, but eventually you are going to hit a plateau & not see much progression.

80/20 Rule

 

I started to prep myself mentally and get my head in the game. I would write on my white board how many of each color container I was allowed to have and when I put it in my lunchbox for work I would cross it off. I am a create of habit so when I meal prep I do it for the whole week and pretty much have the same thing everyday & just switch the protein. And then for dinner I pretty much keep it simple. I find that this is what works best for me. And meal prepping/planning is one of those things that takes time so don't get frustrated if you don't have it perfect the first time. 

21 Day Fix Approved Lunch

                       

I will tell you..... YOU WILL FAIL, IF YOU PLAN TO FAIL. 

Meaning if you aren't planning for the week you are prepping to fail.

This is only speaking from experience, since I've been planning these three weeks, I have noticed I am less likely to sneak in treats or fall off my meal plan, and it's because it's right in front of me with no guess work.

Clean Eating & Working Out get you the results!

Even if I was the lone wolf completing it by myself, here was my schedule for the next 3 weeks :

MONDAY - Total cardio fix

TUESDAY - Upper fix

WEDNESDAY - Lower fix

THURSDAY - Pilates fix

FRIDAY - Cardio fix

SATURDAY - Dirty 30

SUNDAY - Yoga

I must say I was so SORE after week one, but didn't understand why because I just completed InsanityMax 30 one of the hardest cardio programs ever. But even though this isn't as intense you are working completely different muscles. Muscles you haven't used in a while, so yes you are going to be sore.

Never Say Never

                            

I challenged myself more. I got inside my head just like I did with Shaun T and told myself I could do more. When I wanted a break I pushed myself harder and certain exercises I used heavier weights, because the lighter ones were just to easy. And because of the changes I made, giving 110%, and sticking to my nutrition (80%) clean, I am seeing results!

Day 1 to Day 17

This program is totally worth it. It takes the guess work out of your nutrition. It opens your eyes to what you were eating, how much of it you consumed, and how much better you feel & you are full after following the portion controlled containers. This is a PERFECT program for anyone who wants to focus on nutrition. If you are a beginner , you can do this to! There is a modifier for every workout. It doesn't matter where you start.....all that matters is you START!

I BELIEVE IN YOU!!!! YOU CAN DO THIS!!!!

Coconut Shrimp

Shrimp is another weakness of mine and I pretty much tend to make it the same way. Add a little bit of flavor but it sometimes it just needs a little bit more flavor.

I was scrolling through Pinterest of course and came across this! I've had it before in restaurants, but never made them at home before... here goes nothing.

Ingredients :

1/3 cup all purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon sea salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
2 large eggs, beaten
3/4 cup Panko bread crumbs

1 cup sweetened shredded coconut

1 pound raw large shrimp, peeled and deveined with tails attached

vegetable oil or coconut oil

 

 

How to prepare :

 

1. Start with 3 medium bowls. Combine flour, salt, and pepper in one. Beat the eggs in the second bowl.  Combine Panko and coconut in the third bowl.

2. Dip the shrimp into the flour, then the eggs, and then dredge the shrimp into the coconut mixing, pressing gently to adhere. You want a lot of coconut on each shrimp. Set the coated shrimp aside on a plate as you coat the remaining shrimp.

3. Add enough oil to cover the bottom of a large skillet on medium heat. Fry the coconut shrimp in batches - do not crowd them in the pan. I fried about 6-7 at a time. Flip after 2 minutes and fry the other side for 2 minutes or until golden brown. I like mine a little darker, so I fried each side for about 3 minutes.

4. Place the finished coconut shrimp on a plate lined with a paper towel as you fry the rest. Serve with your favorite sweet chili sauce or an orange chili sauce (which is 1 part Thai sweet chili sauce to 2 parts orange marmalade). 

5. Sprinkle with a little chopped cilantro (optional) and serve. Leftover coconut shrimp keeps well in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Fried coconut shrimp freezes well, up to 2 months. Reheat for 10 minutes in a 350F oven-- or until thawed and warm.

Weekly Meal Prepping- How To Batch Your Food

Soooo...did you know that nutrition is 80% of your results or were you like me & you thought because you worked out , you could eat whatever the heck you wanted (insert your honesty here)? I mean you are putting so much time in at the gym: cardio, weight training, maybe your taking a spinning class, but then as soon as your done you are fueling your body with fast foods, desserts, anything far from right. It took me a while to realize this, but then one day I just wasn't seeing the results I know I should have been seeing. It wasn't until I picked up the book by Tosco Reno - book name that it became my light bulb moment.

Meal Planning for the Week

You can't out exercise a bad diet, you really really can't. Meal Prepping and clean eating is something that does take a little bit of time, but honestly it is time well spent. Think about it, we are busy people running around, always on the go. So, naturally we want something quick and easy which is why the fast food industry does so well. Let me ask you a question : if you had meal already prepped, things you could just throw in your lunch box would you choose that? I know I would...if its not there I look for anything that is simple and doesn't require a lot of time. 

I know some people think eating healthy is going to be all rabbit food or starving yourself. But this is a lifestyle change...NOT A DIET! And you should totally focus on living a healthier lifestyle vs. how am I going to survive on this food. When you go into it with a negative attitude it's going to be very difficult to succeed. SORRY NOT SORRY, JUST SPEAKING THE TRUTH! Know that I don't always eat clean too, I live by the 80/20 rule. (80% of the time I am eating clean the other 20% is some treats) and you also know that you don't have to cut out your favorite foods (like mine chicken parm), just find ways to make them a little healthier. I'm Italian so anything pasta related I gravitate towards, but I found ways to  not always eat pasta because I get bloated if I eat to much (that's for a later blog post).

Anyways, we are getting off track..back to meal prepping and batching for the week. This was the worst part for me when I started , honestly because I had no idea what I was doing & I had a negative attitude. But one I stopped, got myself together, and took one step at a time. Planning for the week (even could go as far as two) it will save you SO much time & did I mention $$? Who doesn't like to save money?

My days to plan & prep are Sundays, but truly you do this when it works best for you! 

**note this is simply what I do every week & what my list looks like**

**you do not need to follow this step by step, just as long as you have an idea**

**we will create a plan that best works for you**

- chicken breasts 

- ground turkey

- fish (salmon & tilapia are best) I don't like salmon so I always get tilapia

- frozen shrimp (I don't eat that every week so it ends up lasting a while)

- green, yellow, red peppers

- zucchini 

- frozen steamers (veggies)

- eggs

- fresh fruits

- apples (honey crisp are my favorites)

- brown rice 

-mrs dash seasoning (when I run out) there are a TON of flavors that are salt free

Grocery Shopping

 

Prepping your chicken :

1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.  Grab a large baking sheet and place tin foil across it.

Next, you want to put the chicken breasts on it and grab your seasoning of choice this week, season the front. Flip then season the back.

2. Place the chicken in the oven for around 30-40 minutes until cooked. You don't want to over or under cook it. 

Batch Cooking

 

Prepping your veggies : 

There are different ways you can cook your veggies, it's all personal preference.  You can put them in the oven or use a pan to sauté them. This week I stuck them in the oven and used zucchini, red & green pepper, snow peas. I put them on a pan added a little pepper & garlic powder. Put in the oven on 350 for about 10-15 minutes (depending on how you like them cooked). Fill your green container and portion out for the week. 

Brown Rice is up next (or you could choose something else) use a steamer or boil water. Following the directions according to the box but know you want to make enough for the week because you can fill that yellow container up.

Hard Boiled Eggs....anytime I tried to boil eggs I always thought I had them in long enough, but turns out it just wasn't long enough. I was getting frustrated and upset because I was wasting eggs so I scrolled through pinterest and found this way to boil eggs.  

Once everything is cooled down get your color containers out and baggies, so you can portion it out and put it in bags to grab and go. Ps if you are missing your containers there is a sheet you can use to know how many cups each one is & if you want to spice it up Target sells colored baggies so you know exactly how many reds, greens, etc you use through the day. Stick everything In the fridge so all you have to do is grab and go. It takes the guess work out of what you'll be having throughout the day if your on the run or have to go to a full time job and it saves stress. I can't tell you how many times when I didn't do this I was miserable. I would come home from work say I'll pack a little later and then somehow it was 9 pm and I was dreading it. Now that I have done this, all I have to do is grab my prepared containers and throw them in my lunch box. And I tend to be a boring person and can eat the same thing everyday so it's pretty simple to batch for the week. You can always switch it up!

Breakfast Bowl

Breakfast is usually something fast & on the go like SHAKEOLOGY.  I get up early for work and don't give myself enough time to cook breakfast (which is my fault)....

BUT, I also like having chocolate for breakfast. Who wouldn't? Something quick, easy, delish, and healthy. Then, when I work from home it is nice to switch things up and have something different, give my taste buds a little more.

I'm still following the 21 day fix portion control containers so this equals 2 RED & 1 GREEN

- 4 eggs (you can use egg whites as well) 8 egg whites
- cut up onion
- cut up pepper
- cut up zucchini
-add any other veggies you want
-add a little seasoning to it. I like to add pepper and garlic powder

Cook and enjoy! You can add toast with it as well if you would like or if you are like me I just top with hot sauce and save my carbs for later !!
