21 Day Fix Holiday Accountability Group

Let's face it - this time of year is TOUGH! Parties, Thanksgiving, more parties, Christmas, more parties, New Year's, I could go on and on!

Did you know that the average person gains 7 POUNDS in November and December?!?! Seriously. That's crazy!

I don't know about you, but I don't want to be a part of that statistic! I know that a lot of my friends, family, and followers struggle, JUST LIKE ME, during this holiday season. If we want to beat the statistic, we need to CHANGE OUR HABITS!

So - I'm gonna do just that! It only takes 21 days to change a habit - right???


OK - great! Then from Dec. 1 - 21, I am going to follow and complete the 21 Day Fix. Its 21 days. It's a portion controlled meal plan. It's easy to follow. It will change my habits. It will keep me on track. Heck - it has CHOCOLATE and WINE incorporated into the plan! That's a plan that I can do!

Now I want to invite all of you to do it with me! Let's battle this holiday bulge together! Best part - you don't have to live near me! You can be in Alaska while I'm in Pennsylvania and you can still do the program WITH me!

21 Day Fix Week 1 Meal Plan

So - I have to be completely honest and transparent. I have started the 21 Day Fix 3 times and have fallen off the wagon twice.

I hate excuses. Hate them. But I'm gonna give you one right now. Life hasn't been easy the past few weeks. My daughter and son have been sick. I've been to more doctors appointments and specialist appointments than I ever wanted to go to.

See, my daughter has had 8 ear infections in the last 10 months. So, we got her on antibiotics to clear the latest one up while we waited for our ENT appointment. Then we found out that her left ankle was swollen. Two xrays and a pediatric orthopaedic specialist later and we still don't know whats wrong. She's in a walking boot and it still swollen.

Then my son got something and had a swollen glad the size of a golf ball sticking out the side of his neck. So, off to the pediatrician we went again!

I AM SO SICK OF DOCTORS AND HOSPITALS! (if you want the whole story on my daughter, check out my last blog post!)

So - why am I telling you all of this? I promise it's for a good reason.

You see, I'm an emotional eater. I try to control it but its very hard. I still struggle with it 18 months into my journey. The past two weeks I let my emotions get in my way.

Did that Thin Mint make my daughter's foot get better? No. Did that candy bar stop the fact that my daughter had to get surgery last? Nope. Did my big heaping helping of cheesy potatoes clear up my son's nasty swollen gland? You guessed it - NO!

So, why did I eat all that junk?

The answer is simple. HABIT. No matter how many new healthy habits I make, when things get really stressful in my life, I turn to old comforts. It's something I'm working on.

So - today starts anew (I wrote this blog post on Monday). A fresh beginning. I WILL stick to the plan this week. I WILL NOT deviate. My goals are important and I will reach them!

Here's my plan for the week. Each day is color coded with the containers. I'm eating in the second category because I am doing the X3 workouts and still nursing my daughter. I need the extra calories!

Here's what this week's meals look like:

I'm pretty happy with this meal plan. Saturday and Sunday's dinners might change, depending on our moods later in the week and what I feel like cooking - haha! I hope this helps you in your 21 Day Fix planning!

21 Day Fix day 1 review

Before I begin, I have alto admit that I'm only doing the meal plan portion of this program right now. I am FULLY committed to finishing P90X3 and am on week 6! So this review is for the food portion only - just a heads up!

Today was my first day following the 21 Day Fix meal plan. I fit into the category of 1200-1499 calories each day. Int he meal plan book, you are given a simple formula to figure out your calorie level. The calories aren't mentioned again! Woot woot!

In my meal plan group, I eat 3 green containers, 4 red containers, 2 purple containers, 2 yellow, 1 blue, 1 orange, and 2 teaspoons. I was a little nervous that this amount of food wouldn't get me through therapy. Man was I WRONG!

For breakfast, I had an Orange Julius Shakeology on my way to work around 7:15. You can find the recipe HERE. I subbed one yellow container for my R&R. I'm not 100% sure that's allowed! but I need my R&R after these X3 workouts. 

Snack #1 happened around 10:05 because I got wrapped up in my students and forgot to eat. Yes. I forget to eat. This snack was a small gala apple and 12 almonds that I roasted last night. Yum!

Lunch was nice and filling. 2 green containers worth of sweet butter lettuce, 1 green container of cukecumbers, 6 slices (or one red container) of low sodium, nitrate free turkey breast, and 1 orange container of the 21 Day Fix balsamic vinaigrette dressing.

Snack #2 was probably my favorite. Cottage cheese and strawberries. The cottage cheese was measured with the red container and the strawberries in a purple container. 

Dinner was, by far, my favorite meal of the day! Broiled white fish topped with one of the spice recipes from the Fix , 1 green container of peas, and some organic stone ground mustard. I also drizzled a little bit (2 tsps to be exact) of EVOO on everything cause I still had to use my 2 tsps.

Snack #3 was not "by the book" but I enjoy my evening green tea and am not willing to give it up. No added sweetener or anything else. Just nice, warm, yummy Yogi green tea!

Stay tuned for what my meal plan looks like for this first week! Blog post will be up later!

What is the 21 Day Fix?

What if I told you that I could provide you with a 21 day workout program, a simple, portion controlled eating plan that told you exactly what to eat, AND you could lose 10-15 pounds in just 21 days?

Would you be interested? Would you want to ask a few questions? Would you say "Kell Bell - that's TOTALLY impossible and just not healthy...".

Well, guess what? It's coming. It's possible. It's easy to follow. It's NOT a quick fix all-juice detox program that leaves you hungry all the time.

Mark your calendars my friends. FEBRUARY 3, 2014. That's the day that Beachbody's newest program, "The 21 Day Fix" is going to be released via Beachbody coaches.

Wanna know a little more about the program? Watch this video:




So - what do ya think? Pretty awesomer right?

I'm sure you all wanna know - WHO IS THIS TRAINER? She's new to Beachbody. She's not Tony, Shaun T or Chalene. Why should we trust her? Well, here it is:

Autumn is a REAL person. She is a celebrity fitness trainer and national-level bikini competitor. A rising star in the fitness community, she's made a name for herself by helping people lose weight and get fit through simple portion control and consistent exercise.

Autumn holds personal training certificates from the National Academy of Sports Medicine (NASM) and the American Fitness Professionals & Associates (AFPA). Her supportive, motivating style has made her a highly sought-after expert among celebrities and the fitness industry.

Best part - she's a MOM to a cutie pie named Dom! Yes. She's had a baby. 

Tell me about this portion control.

Alright. One of my favorite parts about this program is that there is NO CALORIE COUNTING. It's SIMPLE. As you can see in the picture below, this program comes with containers that you fill with clean, nutritious food. In Autumn's words "if it fits in the container, you can eat it". How's that for simple! *disclaimer* double chocolate cake is not on the approved food list to shove as much as you can in the container - haha!

What about the workouts? How long are they? Will I be doing the same thing every day? Are they designed for beginners? What about advanced moves?

Ohhh - another great questions! There are 7 different workouts in the program. A different workout each day. Best part??? Each workout is 30 minutes long! EVERYONE has 30 minutes to workout! There are beginner versions of each workout and also advanced versions. This workout will have you schweating like a pig! Wait - we don't sweat, we SPARKLE! haha!

I'm sure by now, you only have one more question - "How do I get in on this program???"

That's my favorite question yet! The steps are simple.

1. Create a free account with me as your coach. Then, I will send you the official details during the week of January 27th when they are released to me
2. Fill out the application below to be considered for my EXCLUSIVE TEST GROUP for the 21 day fix! Why join a test group? It's a few little things called accountability, motivation, support,and guidance. The group is full of people, just like you, all completing the same program and working towards the same goal!
