Ok. Here is a snap shot of my recipe from the builder. For the record my raw chicken weighed at 1.3 pounds. I also used grade a dark Amber syrup

Turkey lettuce wraps. So good and so filling. I added a yellow of brown rice mixed with black beans. If you use just the lettuce leaf, which I did, it is 1red and 1green. Was awesome as leftovers for lunch too!!

I'm going to take pics of a couple recipes I made and loved too! Made this last night and it was Pecan crusted in-fried chicken strips Listed as 2 portions - 3chicken strips per serving 1 yellow 1 blue 1 red

I wonder if there is a way to share the recipe with you here. The quinoa was just extra

I'm only starting week three but I'll give you some of my thoughts, maybe something will work for you. I write out my meal plans a week in advance. I use a sheet where I write it down then check the box for the color. I figure out dinner first because it's my favorite meal lol. Then I fill in the others. I have protein at…

I think if you have milk you have to forgo a yellow container right? I haven't indulged in any liquid calories as I can't afford to give up one of my two little yellows

Crockpot maple Dijon chicken 1 red and 2 teaspoons I served with a yellow of cooked quinoa 1 cup Dijon 1/2 cup maple syrup 2 tablespoon apple cider vinegar 1.5 pounds of raw chicken breast Season chicken with salt and pepper and put in slow cooker. Combine other ingredients then pour over chicken. Cook on low 6-8 hours.…

Preparing is great! I like to have my whole week planned out so I don't stray. I know that might seem crazy to some, but I struggle with food so having it all written out and accounted for works for me. Plus I have my grocery list done

I'm on Facebook

I wonder if part of that has to do with the amount our bodies burn from just doing what they do? I am sure there is a reason though

Day #12 here! My menu has been a bit boring the last couple of days so I am looking forward to a chicken marsala type of dish tonight. If it turns out good I will post the recipe :) Looking forward to Cardio Fix after work. I remember thinking it was the hardest workout last week and I really want a good burn today. My…

I have to double check it again, but It will be at least what my calorie intake is now I think. I will make sure to weight my food exactly so I have a good idea. I will keep you posted, my 3DQF starts a week from today (Can you say I like to be prepared? LOL)

I use an app that I record my daily weight and it gives me a good look at my weight history and such. Happy Scale I think it is called.

I hated the pilates too! my legs hate it :( I don't mind the yoga, I make sure to use it as a relaxing time with the lights dimmed. I know both are good for me so I am trying to focus on that. I am really a cardio nut, so adding the strength and stretching is new for me, but the results I am seeing make it soo worth it

Did you do the original 21 day fix? If so how do the workouts compare? I use a heart rate monitor to calculate my burn.

I just did a quick calorie check on a day of the 3DQF - I have to go weigh now much a portion of grilled chicken is...but it seems as if I will be consuming more calories then I am in a normal day.

You are right, I didn't realize it specifies the steamed part. Can I alternate my protein? I don't like fish, so I was thinking chicken and turkey...but what about lean pork? Or should I just alternate the chicken and turkey? I wonder if there is a reason that the turkey is the last meal of the day. I imagine I would get…

Awesome work! Thanks for sharing

I like that you say they have quick cooking steel cut oats. I will get those. So 8 egg whites or liquid eggs....is it a red container of liquid egg whites before you cook or after? I will most likely prep all the containers the night before my 3DQF, or at least every night for the next day. I will be bring 4-5 of those…

Thanks for the post! I'd love to know what foods are removed.

Day #11 - Feeling great! Chugging along :) Boring food day - left overs for lunch and just grilled chicken for dinner. But I am ok with it, surprisingly. I usually love to cook and eat new things - leftovers was never a thing in our house but it has gotten better. I am thankful that my husband is being so supportive. He is…

Loss of water maybe? I tend to weigh less after a run. But that is probably because I wasn't drinking to keep hydrated. I always weigh the least in the morning - first thing. That is the weight I track - anything else is just for my information.

I'm on week #2 and right now I am using 5 and 8. Last week some of that was hard, this week it is much better. I could probably use a 10 for some of the exercises.

I have done a modified P90X (a couple years ago), A full round of Insanity and a partial round of T25. I much prefer the 21 day fix to T25! I keep seeing motivating before and afters and hope that I can stick to it to reach a goal I have never met before. Which is why I think the extreme will help. I read that the…

I didn't read that. I don't burn near 400 calories :(

Day #10, I feel good. The scale moved a little today which helps :) I didn't get up for lower fix, because my calf is a bit sore, I will work on stretching it during the day and get my lower fix in after work. On a side note, anyone doing the Extreme or thinking about it? I was wondering the difference. Maybe I will just…

I log mine too. I wear a heart rate monitor

ohhh, nice, I will subscribe (here is mine https://www.pinterest.com/dkwi04/21-day-fix/ )
