Ok so I have been following the guidelines of the 21 day fix meal plan as closely as possible during the holiday season. THANKSGIVING week was enough to scare me back on the wagon..haha.
I have to say that last week I had a hard time finding nutritious foods while on the run...was so dissapointing. And my body did not like all the junk I "had to" stuff in it ....how do yall handle on the run and no prepped food issue?

Thanks @germany03 still dealing with hunger some but recently purchased an app to track containers and liking that. Last night I made one of the orange dressings and it was delicious.

Starting a new round on Monday, the 4th. I would start tomorrow...but I really want my yoga workout to be on Sundays hahaha....sooo Monday is it!
Should be receiving my shakeology today. Last time I did a round of 21DF, I didn't utilize shakeology, lost 6lbs..
This time I plan on doing the workouts along with a couple extra workouts a week....and with shakeology. I am anxious to see how it all works out.

I do the same thing. Friday is my start day because I do yoga Mondays and Thursdays at my gym so it just makes sense to have the recovery days in sync.

I tried shakeology but did not like it and really noticed no difference in how I felt so I'm back to my whey protein.

I made the decision to not use the containers...at least this week. I am tracking my food and according to the 21DF math...I should consume 1740 calories a day. I plan to use that same calorie goal. However, at least for this week...I am going to do it on my own terms. I might join the container train later on....not sure. Lol
I tried shakeology today with 2 tbsp of PB2....and it was okay but nothing spectacular lol I Googled a bunch of shakeology recipes before I went groceries, so I have to play around a little. We'll see!

@germany03 I have the chocolate also. I have been using mint extract which is kinda yummy...might try a few other extracts at some point.
I do want to throw some fruit in there and play around with that too.

Day 1 of the 21DF in the books. Alarm went off at 4:15 and I was in my living room rocking out total body cardio by 4:30am...lol...it has been a while since I have forced myself out of bed that early to get a workout done, but I am happy I managed to do it! Hopefully I can continue

Hi All:

I am new to the group. Have been doing different Beachbody programs for the last few years, but thought I would give this one a try. I am hypothyroid, so it is a huge effort to lose any weight. I need to lose 20 or so pounds, so hopefully this works for me. Anyway, trying to plan meals around the containers is challenging, as I am used to just logging foods on MFP. Hopefully when I get used to it, things will improve:) I get to work at 6:00 am, so morning workouts (except for the days I work from home and weekends) are out for me. I do prefer to get it over with first thing, but on these days I will be working out in the pm.

Day 2 down! I love the upper body fix workout. I have to be at work for 6am as well which is my reasoning for the 4:30am workouts lol I struggle with motivating myself after work so it's best if I get it out of the way...plus it sets the bar for my day

@tamred69 have you tried to look up weekly 21 day fix food plans on Pinterest? There are aloft of them out there - even some that I didn't even have to adjust with my picky eaters ( yup I've put the whole family on the plan..haha..not a fan of cooking different foods although I will on occasion )
