Transformation Tuesday -- Challenger 21 Day Fix Success Stories!


21 day fix challenge group, support, accountability, meal prep, meal plan

Guess what!??! It's Transformation Tuesday and I have a group of challengers that just finished their first round of the 21 day fix! They pretty much blew my mind when the transformation stories and pictures started to fill the newsfeed of our closed group. AMAZING and all in only 21 days, that's only three weeks people!! I absolutely love the 21 day fix, it's one of my all time favorite programs. I think it's GENIUS and how fool proof everything is. There is a perfect mix of intensity, cardio, and strength training in the program and modifications for any fitness level. Plus you get these little portion control containers and a nutrition guide which makes it super simple to follow.

I have to say these ladies are pretty SMOKING and AMAZING!! I mean all it takes is a little hard work, dedication, commitment!! We were all in this together. We posted our sweaty pictures in our group, I shared my menu plans weekly and helped them get their menu plans together, we posted pictures, and checked in daily. It's always a good time in my challenge groups. It's all about support and accountability. The ones that got the results were the DEDICATED ones that checked in and brought it every single day!!! So proud of these ladies!!

Clean Eating Lasagna Soup



clean lasagna soup, clean dinners, menu planning, clean eating, healthy living, healthy recipes


Last night we had this amazing dinner above. Best part about it, it tasted like a cheat but was actually CLEAN. Now this isn't the kind of meal I would eat every single night but it's good to have once a week and the family loved it. My husband is chopping on the leftovers and bragging about how good that soup is. I call it a WINNER!! 


Ingredients: 

8 ounces broken whole wheat lasagna noodles {{about 10 noodles}} 
1 Tbsp of Extra Virgin Olive Oil 
1 Onion Chopped 
1/2 pound of turkey hot or sweet Italian Sausage 
3 cloves of garlic 
1 tsp dried oregano 
2 Tbsp of tomato paste {{no sugar added, organic preferred}} 
4 cups of low sodium chicken broth 
1 15 ounce can of crushed tomatoes 
1/2 cup chopped fresh basil 
1/3 cup grated parmesan cheese
1/4 cup almond milk/coconut milk
Ricotta cheese for topping

Directions: 

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the noodles and cook as the label directs. Drain; drizzle with olive oil and toss.
Meanwhile, heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large Dutch oven or heavy-bottomed pot over medium-high heat. Add the onion and cook, stirring, until softened, about 4 minutes. Add the sausage, garlic and oregano and cook, stirring and breaking up the sausage with a wooden spoon, until the sausage is browned, about 3 minutes. Add the tomato paste and cook, stirring, until darkened, about 2 minutes.
Add the chicken broth, tomatoes and 1 cup water; cover and bring to a simmer. Uncover and cook until slightly reduced, about 10 minutes. Stir in the noodles, basil, parmesan and almond or coconut milk; simmer 2 more minutes.
Divide the soup among bowls. Top with ricotta and sliced basil.




Next time - I will leave the noodles out and add them in as I eat. I noticed that they got soggy as they sat in the fridge as leftovers.

21 Day Fix Transformations

YEP ... It's #transformation tuesday people!! That means it's time to take a look at how all my 21 day fix challenge groups are doing and share with you some of their results. At one point I had about 4 Fix challenge groups going and ROCKING it out!! I love this program and it's totally changed so many of my challengers lives. It's crazy how much your body can change and respond in only 21 days when you are using portion control and clean eating. I think that most people think of when they hear the 21 day fix is "oh, that's just a QUICK FIX" well answer is NO. The principals taught in this program are principals you will always keep with you. You are being taught proper portion control and also gives you a variety of food to choose from to form balanced meals that your whole family will love. I make chicken and shrimp stir fry that the entire family loves, grilled fish, turkey burgers with sweet potatoes but am able to give myself the correct portions. I can even have my properly portioned wine. I love how EASY it is and it really is a great tool for anyone that is in need of some serious guidance in clean eating or wanting to learn how to use portion control.

Not only do you get an amazing nutrition plan to get you on track but you also get 21 Days worth of 30 minute workouts that includes a schedule of exactly what to do. It's literally no brainer, you just have to #pressplay and do it. All you need to do is give me THREE MONDAYS, No need to spend hours in the gym. Just 30 minutes a day for 21 days. I seriously love Autumns workouts!! They totally keep me engaged, excited every time, and I am literally spent after most workouts. It really is a great workout in the amount of time you are given. There are all different levels to follow so that this program can really work for everyone. 

So how do people get such great results with this program !?!? Well when you combine a whole body workout program and a great nutrition plan PLUS the support/encouragement from my challenge groups you get amazing SUCESS!! I have some customers that have been in my challenge groups for at least 6 months lost 50 pounds but were stuck and weren't seeing results. Something had to change, and as soon as they started the fix ... BOOM 10 pounds lost! It seriously is great for getting out of those plateau's. I am seeing customers totally change their lifestyle, learn how to prep their meals, and really learn about proper nutrition. I enjoy the pictures they post daily and it really gives me chills to see how amazing this program is working for others. I got the chance to tell Autumn personally on the Success Club Trip how amazing her program has been working for my customers. My challengers don't just quit at day 21 most of them are doing it over and over again or pairing the nutrition plan up with other workout programs. It's really where their weight loss and healthy journey is beginning.

This transformation above is proof that just because these scale doesn't move does NOT mean that you aren't getting results. Michelle actually gained 3 pounds but lost inches obviously. Throw that scale away and realize that you are replacing muscle with fat and it weighs more!

Each of these challengers committed to following the 21 Day program using the nutrition plan, workout plan, and replacing one meal a day with Shakeology. Most of my challengers decided on doing another round of The 21 Day Fix or have decide to use the Fix nutrition plan and start a new Beachbody program. 

Super excited for them to continue their journey.

I am SO extatic about this program. I have so many challengers that follower there workout programs and eat right but just can't seem to get those portion sizes under control. With this program you no longer have to put any guess work into it. You follow the exact nutrition plan laid out for you, use your portion cups to get the exact amount of food you need, and follow your workout plan. This is DESIGNED to help you get your nutrition (the most important part of the equation) under control. GENIUS!! I'm pretty sure this is going to change EVERYTHING for some people. 


I love that this workout program is great for beginners and experts. There are modifications to all moves and you just pick the person that is up to your speed and follow there lead. As you progress with in the program you can also advance up to the more advanced workouts. This program is great for all ages and sizes.
