Ever have one of those times where your body feels
sluggish, bloated and BIG, and you get this feeling that it’s telling you it
wants a RESET? Yeah, I’m there!
I summer’d pretty hard! I had fun, had quite a few
cocktails and spent lots of time around the BBQ. It was just what the doctor
ordered after having a hectic few months of buying my first home and changing
jobs. But as always, it caught up to me!
Now, take me back to 2 years ago after summer and I’d
be freaking out at seeing the scale go up, my clothes not fitting the way they
did last winter, and the thought of looking in the mirror with no clothes on! I
mean, it wasn’t the GREATEST sight this year either, but I didn’t really care!
I had the tools on hand to get back to ME and the only thing STOPPING me from
putting my tools into action was ME.
I started with my before photo. I needed to see the
changes I wanted to make in my body before deciding my next step – how quickly
did I want to get there?
I knew I wanted something that wasn’t long so I could
see results quick and give myself a good foundation to get myself back on
track. My workout regime was great; it was my nutrition that wasn’t on point.
IT WAS 21 DAY FIX TIME!!!
I LOVE the fix because unlike its name, it’s not a
quick fix – it’s a solution to LEARNING about nutrition and creating a
sustaining meal plan, NOT a diet. I don’t do diets.
I spent a week prepping for my 21 days. I wanted to do
it right, meaning I needed 3 solid weeks where there was no temptation to cheat
and time to meal prep & get my workouts in.
Wait
a second… what is the 21 Day Fix??
The 21 Day Fix is 3 weeks to becoming the best version
of you. It’s spending 30 minutes a day in your home gym working out with
trainer, Autumn Calabrese; it’s portioning your food to eat 5-6 balanced meals
throughout the day; it’s drinking a BOATLOAD of water every day. It’s 3 weeks
to CONFIDENCE! Oh and it's eating lots of yummy foods and NOT restricting yourself!

Now don’t get me wrong. You can’t do 3 weeks of the
fix and drop 50 lbs., but what you can do is a few rounds of the fix and drop
that weight! Everyone is different and will have different results, but the success is there! Your food is portioned out to exactly how much of each food group
you should be eating every day, and when that is combined with quick, intense
workouts, your body naturally sheds the weight. YOU’RE FEEDING IT RIGHT!
Check out the yummy foods I ate in week 1! I tweaked my meals to what suited MY lifestyle. I prepped my food twice
a week – Sunday and Wednesday – so that I could grab and go each morning before
work. If there was a night I wouldn’t be home in time to make dinner, I had
Shakeology. It filled me up, it was quick, and I wasn’t cheating on meal plan.
I’m currently in week 2 of my fix and feeling AMAZING!
I’ve decided to do my final measurements, weigh in, and after photos on day 21 because
I want to be surprised! I’ll be sure to share my results with all of you
though.
In the meantime, if you have any question on what the
fix is all about, or you want to join me on an awesome 3 week journey, don’t
hesitate to email me samanthaleefitness@gmail.com
