My coach sent me a week's worth of clean eating food and I have to say that I'm not crazy about Wednesday's menu. I mean, believe it or not, I was supposed to have more eggs than you see in this picture (half a dozen total). But I am giving the menu a try out of curiosity. And I'm mostly sticking with it.…

@TheFo1dOut I meant to respond to your question about the creamy dressing, not that my response will be very helpful because the truth is we disliked it so much we half of it away and the other half we threw out. And we eat salads pretty much every day so throwing away dressing indicates how much we really disliked it. I…

I did doubles my second round but I was also doing PiYo and I admit that there were times when I hit the second 21DF workout and thought, "This is nuts!" And I had never cussed out Autumn before but on the day when Total Body Cardio Fix is the double and I hit the knee drivers . . . I do think, however, that doing Pilates…

Ugh. This is sucky because my husband put his foot down after getting 21DFX and T25 and said, "No more exercise DVDs this year." But but but . . . I really really want Tai Cheng. Ugh. Stupid living on a budget because I'm unemployed. (Okay. We'd live on a budget even if I had a regular 9-5 job but still . . . . )

@dkwi04 Yeah. I wasn't holding the handles, definitely had to tighten things up quite a bit. Thinking I may need to use a stronger one next time. I mean, if I do that then I can still use the handles and modify but if I'm starting off not holding the handles and sweating although I'm not really pushing myself then it may…

Morning Workout 21DFX: W1/D3: Pilates Fix Extreme Is it just me or is this workout not really that much harder than the regular Pilates? I was worried after yesterday's Upper Body Fix Extreme, remembering how close to tears I was when I did Pilates Fix and dreading feeling like that again this morning. Then I reached the…

Today's meals. B: Steelcut oatmeal, apples, walnuts, cinnamon S: Blueberry vanilla shake L: Pasta dinner leftovers S: Apple with peanut butte D: Veggie burger with red onion and steamed zucchini

@TheFo1dOut I am going to echo what everyone else has said and urge you to follow the program even when you feel sore. Perhaps don't go as deep in the squats and lunges tomorrow but don't skip the workout altogether. Your muscles will heal faster if you keep moving. And drink a lot of water because water helps heal the…

And finally a pic: https://instagram.com/p/3tc2n2BBza/ Rob overslept yesterday and I couldn't wait to eat any longer so I told him he'd just have to get up earlier. (In his defense, he worked very late the night before.)

Oops, I Did It Again My husband often says that I should not try to stop myself from falling because that's how I end up hurting myself. My calves are still aching from stumbling around the Renaissance Festival. And yesterday I noticed an ache in my lower back (erector spinae) on the left side. But if I've learned nothing…

@Lauracharder If I lose 6 lbs my first round with extreme, I'm going to be insanely happy. My goal is 3 lbs, 1 lb a week. I'm hoping for good results while wishing for GREAT ones. ;)

@venuila The truth is, I plan ahead because I do have things I'm itching to try. My daughter gave me Slim in 6 for Mother's Day and I knew it would be perfect to start that when I finished PiYo because I could finish it while on vacation. (I'll probably skip a few days, though, because I fully plan on taking advantage of…

When I track my food on MFP, which I typically do not, I find that 21DF has me eating "too much" protein because they automatically set the macros to 40/30/30. The thing is, the container are designed so you don't have to track if you don't want to but if you really must track then I would increase the protein in your…

Containers for the 3 Day Quick Fix are the same every day: B: 1R, 1Y, 1t S: 1R, 1Y L: 1R, 1G S: 1R, 1G, 1t D: 1R, 1G, 1t S: 1R, 1G, 1t Today was more normal but surprisingly green. https://instagram.com/p/3rsBbDBB_1/ B: 1R, 1Y, 1G S: 1R, 1P, 1t L: 1G, 1R, 1O S: 1B, 1G, 1P D: 1R, 1G, 1Y, 1t I'm follow a meal plan my coach…

Finally slowing down . . . I really thought today would be easier but we were still having problems with our ISP and didn't have internet for half the day. Sheesh! @venuila I'm pretty sure if I didn't do the 3DQF, I would have not seen much if anything lost on the scale but I have no doubt I would have seen inches because…

I have a few Jillian Michaels DVDs (30 Day Shred, Ripped in 30, and some of her beginner DVDs) and have never made it past the first level/phase. I'm hoping that Body Revolution will somehow work for me in ways that her other workouts have never done before. I love the format and I have a feel that Body Revolution, because…

I did it! I started 21 Day Fix Extreme today and stepped out all of the Plyo Fix Extreme workout. No, it wasn't easy. @dkwi04 You must really be mad at yourself if you chose to do Cardio Fix when you didn't have to. Frankly, being mad is probably better than feeling guilt or shame. Anger is more active. And you know what…

Round 4 Results Lbs Gone: 2.6 Inches Gone: 3" Again, most of the weight lost occurred during the 3 Day Quick Fix. Carb Cycling, which I was doing the first two weeks of this round did not work for me at all (although I found a way to make it fairly easy to do). I started doing the 8 day abs diet last week but then did the…

There's a great group of supportive people here on MFP for people doing 21 Day Fix or 21DF Extreme: http://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/group/103806-21-day-fixers

There's a group here on MFP full of people using and succeeding on MFP. http://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/group/103806-21-day-fixers

There's a group here on MFP full of people who are sharing their tips, struggles, and successes with 21 Day Fix. http://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/group/103806-21-day-fixers

@jpkrueger I did but I don't think my husband enjoyed it as much as he has in the past. We'll talk later and I'll get a feel for what he thinks was going on. @germany03 Believe it or not, when Autumn says "It doesn't get easier but you get better" she's speaking truth. Cardio Fix will never be easier but you'll surprise…

And once again, if not for the 3 Day Quick Fix, I would have not lost any weight on this fourth round of 21 Day Fix. It makes me feel a little less resistant to the Countdown to Competition eating schedule. But my official weigh-in for Round 4 is tomorrow morning. I'll take my measurements and another round of "after" pics…

Everyone You all are doing so amazingly well and I can't tell you how much I appreciate your stories, whether they are victories or struggles. This will be a quickie! We are off to the Renaissance Festival today and I have less than 2 hours to get showered, dressed, feed the dogs, feed myself, make sure I bring everything…

Day 3 of 3 Day Quick Fix https://instagram.com/p/3kEwsDhB2z/?taken-by=satiarenee Down a total of 2.4 lbs.

I'm going to try to do it tomorrow. I thought I'd have time today but my day escaped me. I was very productive but that doesn't necessarily mean I did everything I had hoped to do.

https://instagram.com/p/3hfYNnhB_s/?taken-by=satiarenee Day 2 of #DQF Steelcut oats, egg whites with red pepper flakes Chicken and sweet potatoes with Spanish spices Lemon rhyme basted cod with asparagus Chicken with broccoli and cauliflower Tilapia with spinach and onions and Mediterranean spices Ground turkey with…

@germany03 I don't believe in "shoulds" for anything or anyone, frankly. If we all responded to the same things in the same way there would be only one diet, one exercise program, one size fits all. Unfortunately, that's not how humans work. We simply have too much variety within our myriad of cells for one answer to fit…

So I managed to get in all my food yesterday . . . . I just didn't manage to take pics of everything. Oops. Here's my Day 1 of Round 4. https://instagram.com/p/3e3j6PhBxO/?taken-by=satiarenee
