Day 1 of 21 day fix

I had a few problems and didn't get workout done this morning.  I had to really had to push my self to get it done to night but I got it done.  I had shake this morning.

 My co-worker made this for me.  They are from the book.  Very good.  O will make again.

 Above was lunch with some salsa.  Yes that would be goat cheese

Left was dinner.  Very good.  Carrots were great.  I love mango.






21 day update.  UUUUGGGG It is hard to say this is important in my life.  It doesn't come easy.  I want to give up.  I keep plugging away.  If it is 3 steps forward and 2 back the end result is still 1 forward. 

21day fix per week

So I got my box in the mail today.  So excited.  I have to post a pic. 

guess which one didn't come in the box?  The clear is a normal lunch salad bowl.
I have to check on the size of salsa I get to put on my salad.  I have to do some reading.








I'm excited to give you my first update. My 21 day fix arrived on Wednesday so Thursday was my first official day. The is starting on Monday so I am doing like pre-warm-up. I'm getting used to the containers and had my first shake yesterday. I really wasn't expecting it to be someplace between gritty and yucky but it was really good. Can I really say I was so full? No, but it was good. I also got my new DVD player working after installing the batteries backward I was ready to go. I did the full body cardio workout and it was really good. I was feeling a little overconfident thinking it was going to be too easy but I was wrong. This first workout wasn't killer hard but let's just say I am sore this morning.

I was looking at the little green container and couldn't figure out how I was ever going to live without a big salad everyday. To my surprise I shove enough greens in that little green container to fill half my big salad bowl. So referring to the picture above my big salad bowl counts is to greens. I also had to look up salsa to see how it counted. It almost looks like it is a non-counting food. I will post you a picture of my yummy lunch.

For dinner I had fish with the tastefully simple seasoned salt baked in the oven along with a little yellow of rice and baked beans. Because I had so many reds to use I got to eat lots of fish. The goat cheese crumbles I put on my lunch salad gave it so much flavor that I could do nothing but enjoy it.

This is all for today and I will post more on Monday. If you would like to join me on this little journey please contact my beach body coach Tracy and tell her you saw it on chat the fat.

I really sat and thought about what my goal for this was and I have come to the conclusion that I want to tone up so I can cut some time off that 5K in June.

March spirit Fair

This is what I will be doing for the spirit fair for March.
I am sending this off to Marilyn to put in the newsletter. 

Weight loss Coach.

Hi I’m Lynn Baumgartner weight loss coach, author of “weight loss concepts that need a second look”, inspirational group leader, and blogger of chatthefat.  I will be doing personal one-on-one coaching at the March spirit fair.

If you have ever wanted to sit down and talk to someone that has lost 50 pounds and ask them how they lost it, how they maintain the loss, and how this loss has affected their life don’t miss the March spirit fair.  I will be offering a special 15 minute personal program just for you. Bring your questions, concerns, ideas, goals, things that worked, things that didn’t work and let’s talk.  I will give you a copy of my book with the 27 concepts worth $10 by itself along with my personal review of how you could implement these concepts to achieve your own goals.

Make this your year to take back your health and control the things you can with a little help from your friend Lynn.

I will be looking for a $10 donation for this service. With more than 35 years of research I feel this is a real bargain.
We all know what we have to do to achieve our weight loss goals but we always find an excuse for our behaviors. In this one-on-one we want to break through the excuses and get it done. I understand the stresses in life but together we can relook at some of the obstacles that just overwhelm us. After buying a new home moving, moving a business I can relate. With every positive there is also negatives we have to learn to use these to our advantage. While living in the trailer park looking for home we had no home maintenance and a shorter drive to work but with this also came no fenced in yard for the dog and no stairs. I'm not complaining just stating the facts with no fence or doggie door we had to leash walk every doggie potty. Though I enjoyed this, it also added more ties to your home. Instead of going to the gym after work I walked in the grass 3+ times a day. Because we no longer had a walkout ranch with a well used flight of stairs I started noticing the difference very fast. I took the stairs any chance I got when I had to go anywhere including malls.

The hardest part of living in the trailer because it was temporary, was I was without a lot of kitchen appliances. We knew we were going to buy so we kept as much possible inboxes in storage. Think goodness there was a subway within walking distance so we had an easy option for me for quick meal.  There was also a Dairy Queen which as you all know is my weakness. I had to keep remembering you eat the size you want to be. This was such a busy time in our life that I had to adjust my goal to maintaining and not gaining. Now that we are settled into our new home it is time to look at where I am at this point set new goals and go for.

One of the things I would like to do in Union Grove is help start a support group. As I follow some of my bodybuilding friends they all talk about going to the gym with their buddies. This supports the idea that you are stronger as a group than as an individual.
I will be doing the glow run in Union Grove and have started a team chat the fat. If you live in the area and will be doing this event be sure to let me know so I can say hi. If you run it or walk it either one is a better option than saying I wish I would of.

Testing
Have you ever wondered who these people are what ants talk about study show? If you have read my past blog you know I was of the test market group for the one day diet and get paid. I have looked at all kinds of programs on the market and have tested a few out. I have reviewed them from my personal views. I will be testing out the 21 day fix in the month of February. This is a beach body product and works with plastic containers you put your food and along with workouts. Tracy will be my beach body coach so I'm very excited. I just checked the tracking and my shipment should be here on Tuesday so I can start on Wednesday. I will be doing a separate blog on this. Have you ever tested a product and post a review? I read the reviews and I also search on sparkpeople for personal reviews. When you read a review please remember some of the are uploaded by paid reviewers. This is why I turned to sparkpeople when I have a diet related question. I have also searched out other questions because sparks is such a huge group of people all over you really do get a variety of answers you can draw a good conclusion. I did post under the 21 day fix and plan on continuing using sparkpeople as a support group.

Please stop by my booth in March to see how the 21 day Fix is working for me.

Spring is on its way and here in Wisconsin and we sure do want to enjoy it. Don't let time slip away. If you have been a member of the would of could of  should of club, and are ready to rip up your membership let me know.

21 day fix from beachbody

I am testing this out.  I had Tracy contact me to see if she could place a link on my blog.  She felt I had some real solid information and if I needed some help, she would be there for me.  It is now 6+ months later and I will follow the concept that if it's not working change it. I am going to test this out.  I am going to give it my 125%.  If you would like to join me, facebook Tracy at http://www.beachbodycoach.com/esuite/home/tracy72 PM her and tell her, I'm in. She can give you a step by step.
I will keep you posted.  So far I have signed up, the total cost $147.14.
Includes should be. 
Someone asked about shakes and my answer is;
I will keep you posted but no.  I am going to test this out.  I am not a shake person.  99% of the time I would say shakes are a waste of calories.   I am keeping an open mind because one of the concepts is - if it's not working change it.

I have to learn how to reply to a comment.

Step-by-Step Plan to get FAT

I received this e-mail from Joel & Josh - BioTrust Nutrition [support@biotrustnews.com] this morning and had to laugh.  I already know how to do this.  So if this is how to get fat then I just need to undo what I have been doing.  This is the plan for 2014 Get it done and stop goofing around.  Let me make the list of what is not working.

1. Thinking I no longer have to write things down and counting calories.
2. Thinking as long as the scale is going up slow, it's not so bad.
3. Yoga pants are a size.
4. I made it to almost goal weight so the Gods will keep me there.
5. We are to busy to cook or I am sick of cooking. 
6. Cheatday is a month long.
7. I just want to get some things done on the computer done first.
8. I wear my striiv pedometer so that is good enough. Really 2000 out of 10,000 not bad, right??
9. I'm the teacher of the class, enough said right???
10. I will get back to the gym soon. 
11. As long as I eat a big salad for lunch I can eat anything else I want the rest of the day.
12. UUUUHHH that looks like 2 oz.of cheese.

As you see you can make your own list and undo it.
So the first step in undoing is to look at what you have on-hand to head you in the correct direction.
Sometimes you must set limits on activities that are making it hard to stay on track.
The biggest thing for me to limit is interneting.  

My list of positives would be;

1. Logging into sparkpeople and log all food eaten.
2. Drink less coffee and more water.
3. Get planks done
4. Print calender and get star for eating well, star for getting 2 of the 3 challenge levels completed each day. 
5. Blog progress once a week.

Please join me by setting your own goals and let me know how things are going during the first week. 
When you let negative thinking sneak in, stop it at the door.  Repairing 1 meal is easier than repairing a  day or a week. 
Lynn

I found a post that backs eating healthy

 This really makes you think about eating healthy.  Cancer, we will never really have a black and white line on why this happens but if there is a way to avoid it why not.  It is a new year, let's really look at our eating and workout habits.  Who are you kidding???  If you stand in a closet with the lights out do the calories count??  Lets turn the lights on and look at the truth of how to eat high nutrition 80% of the time. 
I am looking forward to feeling better and De-stressing in 2014.  If the year of 13 was the year of bad luck the year of 14 has nothing to do with luck. 2014 is my year to drive on and make things happen. 
I want you to get out your paper and make that list.  Now it is time to get these things done.
Check out the link to see 1 reason we want to eat nutrition.  Note when the immune system becomes toxin.... 2014 we do not want to detoxify as much as we want to stop putting the toxins in.
