@germany03 thats awesome and those balls sounds yummy. I always look up recipes to make healthy snacks at home but then I look at the list of ingredients and I think...too much work! lol I am awful about that stuff...Pilates is still the hardest workout for me haha no joke...I struggle every time I do it!


I have been trying to reign in my eating from this past vacation...havent really worked out yet this week besides walking...at least it is something. I have to stop settling for that and start really pushing myself, that is the only way I will make changes!...Gah its so hard! lol

@raelorien you got this!!! I fizzle out all the time....light that fire back up baby!!

germany03

Lol @mscote12 we know all too we'll about the fizzling out don't we..haha.how many rounds have we started together and both of us didn't finish ? Lol .I know I have started several rounds myself without finishing since I am back from Vacation.....but the important part is --- we always start back up!!!!!!!!!!! Go baby go baby go

germany03

Ok so here is the first rough patch....worked all day ...got my hair done on the way home...oh yeah I really feel like working out today...NOT! ..I'll post tomorrow if I pushed play or pause

germany03

I pressed play

mscote12

@germany03 good for you!!!
I have a little over 3 weeks left of this challenge I am doing with a local gym....as of Monday there will be 21 days left, so I thought-what better way to finish off the challenge by filling those last 21 days with the 21DF. I will be starting a round bright and early Monday morning....still not sure if I am going to do the food plan yet...
I plan to continue to take other classes and other workouts on top of the 21DF workouts...gotta give myself that final push and finish this challenge strong!

germany03

@mscote12 way to finish your challenge with 21DF in addition to your regular classes.

I have been following the 30 day ab challenge ( currently on day 7) ...I actually like it. ..I try to do it right after my 21 day fix workouts. ...to be honeat..this weekend I have not stuck to the food plan either but I have tried to stay within my calorie count. Sofar so good

dawnkwiatek

jumping back in - day 1!

haleymiller0707

Good morning. I joined a 21 Day Fix FB group and it started yesterday. I finally feel my Lyme Disease is under control and I need to get back on track. So Day 2 and I pressed play.
@mscote12 - great idea adding in 21Df to that challenge. Good luck
@dkwi04 - we are on the same schedule
@germany03 - how are you doing?
Have a great day everyone!

germany03

Im doing great @haleymiller0707 at it again ..haha
Ok ..day 2 for me (again) ...had to reset AGAIN. But..the important thing is I don't quit ..I might rest and derail bit not quit.
So here is to another round (atleast startes) !

Welcome back @dkwi04

thegatti

Hi guys, I'm on day one of round 2. I had a weeks maintenance.....(eating a lot of wrong food) before starting again. I hope this forum is still active. I wouldn't mind having a bit of help this time

germany03

@thegatti I am starting a new round myself ...not sure if I am going to count though. ..but you can add me for support if you like hoping for great results

rainey4

I am just starting another round. Keep derailing myself. Not this time. I am at the heavest I have been and am feeling really uncomfortable.

vczK2t

it is very difficult for me to get started in this program. i love the containers and they are SO easy to use. but actuaLLY measuring is proving impossible

germany03

@rainey4 I know what you mean with the derailing yourself..every time I think I g it it it's like...nope...as if I get too comfy and the slide right back off the wagon..BUT..I keep getting back on ..and that's what counts

@vczk2t15 try leaving them on the counter ..it made it easier for me. Actually ..I keep up with meassuring my food ..it's keeping up with excersise I have a hard time with sticking to

thegatti

I'm glad to see I'm not the only one that needs to restart (again). 1st round was not too bad. Lost 4kgs yay! I am going to restart tomorrow if all goes well. I have been at my parents place for a week and was trying to stick with the plan but it didn't always work. I exercised twice this week and did my best at eating right. My scale says I didn't do a very good job.
Anyone else having difficulty with meal planning? Especially snacks.

germany03

@thegatti Trust that you are never alone ...Noone is perfect and this is just one step in our journey.

So today I prepped all my breakfasts ( over night oatmeal -addicted to that stuff) and lunches (chicken with broccoli and garlic & herb quinoa) including snacks (boiled egg and fruit salad) for the next 3 days. Dinner? ..thinking on fresh salads but we'll see. - all this is my Attempt to stay good before the holiday ..still have my struggles with getting back to excersising but I have all intentions for this week

xoveronica

@germany03 did you start a new week?

germany03

Starting new on tomorrow @xoveronica. Are you starting as well?

I did well before the holiday....gave my self a pass for the holiday ( and remainder of the week - left overs ya know ) but tomorrow...it's back on !!!
most of my food for the next few days is prepped. Need to add some more protein but the rest is done. forgot to take the chicken out of the freezer

xoveronica

@germany03 I thought I typed more but apparently not lol. I just started today and hoping to stay committed. I've done it once before and sometimes I need to mix it up a bit.
Nice job prepping food.

germany03

@xoveronica thanks! Are you following the food plan only or are you following the excersise plan as well?

raelorien

I started a reset yesterday. So far eating is pretty good but I haven't yet gotten the exercise going.

thegatti

How is everyone going over the Christmas season? I have stuffed up a couple of days already and i have a work Christmas dinner tonight. I'm still trying to keep my exercises going though

xoveronica

@germany03 I am following the workouts and tracking my food intake not the containers. You?

Hi all! Today is day 1 for me. I thought it would give me a boost before the holidays. Beach vacation coming in mid January so I cannot gain over holidays and fit into all my summer clothes.

Love my gym so I'll be doing double workouts most days.

duffyzmom

How many of you use containers? I'm loving the workouts just find the containers more difficult. Seems to take a lot more "thinking" than I expected.

loywi1

wondering what kind of success you are all seeing with this? I am trying to get started!

duffyzmom

I'm only on Day 4 so really cannot comment on success but I'm really liking the workouts. Not eating the exercise calories so I'm hungry most of the time still. Last night I dreamt about bagels ;-)

duffyzmom

Starting week 2 today and I've lost 6 lbs so more than just water weight. I'll be thrilled with a normal 2 lbs a week for the rest of the 21 days.

mscote12

Whoah, been awhile since I have checked in here. Life has been so so crazy....tis the season right?! I am anxious to start another round but will probably wait until after the holidays. I am still working out and watching my nutrition in hopes to maintain through the holiday season, but we'll see!

So I will be back to start a new round in January!

thegatti

I dont know how everyone else is going but i fell off the wagon big time. It is hard for me to eat well at this time of year. Too much food and not enough willpower. Most days i do breakfast well and then the rest of the day seems to go down hill.
