Jo Dee Messina: Fix Update

Sorry, we've been traveling.  We were all so exhausted yesterday that we seemed to be walking around slap happy and delirious. ;-)

This week is hard for some. We are all in the midst of the program and wanting results. A lot of you reported GREAT results so far and that will continue to be the case if you stick to the plan. "Trust the process", they say. 

I won't lie, the container thing still confuses me.  The printable sheets are helpful in keeping up what you need to eat.  Jaime is available to any of you that have questions. So, if you have any, let her know. Also, as others are figuring it out, they may have some tips and advice on how they are grasping the program. If you see someone post with something you have a solution for, please, share it.  That's why we are doing this as a group.  During todays workout, Autumn said, quitting lasts forever, the pain and focus is temporary. Believe it or not, after the 21 days, this will be more of a habit than a focused effort. We are learning a new system.  Ask questions.....   We are in this together. 

Tomorrow I have to take an unexpected trip to Boston for funeral. We spent today prepping food for travel and being sure we have everything we need - all of our containers worth of food. Plan the work, work the plan.  

I will keep you posted on how things are going.  We may double up tomorrow doing cardio fix and upper body fix.  I'm not sure if that's cheating, but, as promised I am telling you what I am doing with the program.   

Keep focused.  Ask questions and do this for YOU !  You deserve the best and deserve to be your very best.

Recipe Thursday: Fall Detox Vegetable Soup

Image
I am a Boston girl born and raised but honestly I am cold more often than not. For that reason as soon as summer ends I start to get sad and panic about how I am going to keep myself warm all winter. One way that works for me is to make a lot of warm soups so that I can warm myself up from the inside out!  When I posted the choices for this week's Recipe Thursday , the concern over the word "detox" was thoroughly entertaining. Trust me, I get it. In the past, the word detox meant spending an entire day in the....well you get the point. As I came to learn more about nutrition I began to understand that "detox" does not mean that you will not be able to leave your house for days, all it means is that you are cleansing your body of toxins in a healthy way.  I kid, I kid...my point is that the Fall Vegetable Detox Soup was the winner this week and eating it does not mean that you will have to cancel your plans for the day. I found this soup reci

What a Day of Meals Looks Like on the 3-Day Refresh.

Image
The 3-Day Refresh Cleanse came out last week, and I am sure you are all wondering what a day of meals would look like if you were to do this cleanse. I have decided to put this post together so that I can simply show you how the cleanse will go day by day.  Day 1-  (Upon waking drink 8-10 oz. of filtered water.) Breakfast(within 1 hour of waking): Shakeology blended in 1 1/4 cups filtered water. Plus 1 serving from the fruit list. I chose half of a banana and actually added it into my shake. I added ice, and cinnamon which is on the guilt-free flavorings list that they provide us. I made it the same way all 3 days. Optional: Morning Tea (at least one hour after breakfast) 1 cup unsweetened herbal or green tea. (stevia sweetener allowed) I chose not to do this because I was fine drinking my water.  Mid-Morning(at least 1 hour after morning tea): Fiber Sweep (digestive health drink) mixed in 1 cup filtered water. The first day I did not add enough
