21 Day Fix Final Results

21 Day Fix Final Results

21 Day Fix Final Results

So I have now completed 21 days of diet and exercise following the 21 Day Fix program.  The third week I tried Shakeology (thanks to a friend) and  added another exercise routine 2 days of the week.  Read on to see my 21 Day Fix final results!

If you’d like to read the other parts of this series, check them out below:

  • 21 Day Fix – Week 1 Update
  • 21 Day Fix – Week 2 Update

How did the third week go?

I sailed through the third week meal plan without any issues.  I tried two new recipes that bombed, and I deleted them from my “cookbook.”  I completed all exercise programs with increased weights or longer time at the harder position (i.e. full plank vs knee plank).

What Foods Did I Eat?

Shakeology, To buy or not to buy is my question.  All the reviews I read said that there is nothing to replace the wonderful and complete nutrients of this magic powder, and it is one of the added “Zings” of the 21 Day Fix.  I have been skeptical about purchasing mainly because a months supply is $120!!  I have spoken with friends that are coaches or are doing the 21 Day Fix and they all swear by the increased muscle definition and decreased cravings.  But I am just not convinced.  Lucky for me, a friend bought the wrong flavor of Shakeology, and so I have been able to trial the Strawberry at no cost.  I have tried two Shakeology recipes from the Beach Body Blog, and I like the taste of the Shakeology, but haven’t found that I have less cravings or that I feel more full.  I didn’t expect to notice a significant increase in muscle definition after only 2 drinks.  My other concern is that some have said when they stopped using Shakeology they noticed a sudden decrease in muscle definition.  So, I am still up in the air.  I would like to use Shakeology because it tastes better than the Whey protein powder I am currently using, but I am not convinced that the results or taste is 4 times better. (Current protein powder costs $30/month.)

I tried to make a dessert from protein powder (Dessert cups) and it was so disgusting that I couldn’t take more than 2 bites.  So, I am on a mission to find a 21 Day Fix approved dessert.  I also tried to make oat pancakes as a treat one morning.  Again, a flop!

One mistake I was making is eating too much, even using the containers.  I was eating too much oatmeal (yellow) by measuring out 1/2 cup before cooking.  To eat the correct 1/2 cup cooked you need to cook 1/3 cup.  Also I was eating too many almonds and asparagus spears.  The book separates some food out and says to count as a specific color, yet identifies a number to eat instead of using the measuring containers.  So be careful!

21 Day Fix Exercise Videos

I added the 10 minute fix for abs two days this week. It is amazing how sore you can be after 10 minutes! 🙂  As I noted earlier, I increased my weights or performed the harder position for longer periods in each exercise program.  Also, I can tell that my abs are getting stronger…I can feel them again.  That’s the first time since before kids.  🙂

21 Day Fix Final Results – The Measurements

I haven’t noticed an extreme change from last week to this week, but I can tell overall that I am losing my love handles and extra fat on my stomach.  Overall I have lost 5 pounds and 7.25 inches total!  The biggest change was around my navel – I lost 3 inches total around my waist!

My husband Derek lost a total of 6.2 pounds and 2 inches around his waist!

21 Day Fix Final Results – What’s Next?

So, you’ve seen our 21 Day Fix final results and watched the video.  What’s next?  We are going at it again!  Autumn says :”If you’re tired of starting over, stop giving up.” So, we am going to try for another 21 days and see how much more we can achieve.  I may try to eat all purple (fruit) and yellow (carbs) before 6pm as suggested in the book to increase fat burning.  I say may because my family schedule sometimes prevents us from eating before 6pm.  I am also going to stick with adding the extra ab program 2 days and try to double the yoga or pilates day with the plyo fix. (I haven’t tried this one yet!)  Autumn raves about the benefits from coconut oil, and so I purchased some this weekend to try in my cooking next week.

My birthday will be during this 21 days, so it will be difficult to limit my cake consumption 🙂 .  Also, I found a recipe for a 21 Day Fix approved pumpkin spice latte that counts as 1 yellow.  I can’t wait to try this one!

What are you waiting for?  Give the 21 Day Fix program a try for yourself!!
