Day 2 of the 21 Day Fix-My Journey

Well, yesterday was another great day on the 21 Day Fix. Got up and got my workout in early! Prepped my meals for the day as I knew I would be out and about all day! No time for "fast food", prepping in advance is faster, easier, and healthier than stopping at one of "those places"!

Today the workout was great, had the choice of using weights or a residence band to add a little oomph to the workout, surely felt the difference! ;)

Sweaty Pic! ;)


I have found I am a creature of habit as many are and I can do just fine with eating the same thing everyday, but unfortunately my family can't.


They like things to be switched up a little, so I'm incorporating 21 Day Fix approved foods and making different dinners for us to enjoy.

I have to say (pat myself on the back!) last nights supper was delicious! It went over great with the family too!

Meals of the day:
Started with Coffee with a little almond milk and stevia

Breakfast was my normal vanilla shakeology with 2 tsp pb, 1/2 frozen banana, water, and lots of ice

1st Snack was a bowl of fresh fruit, ate it on the way to work!

Lunch was a thin bun sandwich with sliced turkey, spinach, cucumber, and romaine

2nd Snack was a bowl of fresh veggies and amazing 21 day fix dressing to dip

Dinner was slow cooked chicken tacos, yum!!! Want the recipe????

Dessert was plain greek yogurt with a drizzle of honey and fresh berries!

Tell me I'm not eating like a queen! Definitely getting enough food in for sure!



If your ready to make the commitment and make some changes, I am offering a huge bonus today for those who commit. Msg me or email me at kimi.stotler@gmail.com

What Are You Really Eating?

Do you truly stop and think about every bite you put into your mouth?

Each small bite/sip can contain gobs of calories, and unfortunately can be consumed very easily. Mindlessly we pop chip after chip, piece after piece into our mouths. Then there are those calories we drink, chug chug chug, every drop easily going down. These are the areas where, to often, we do not keep track of what we are truly eating, which leads to keeping that muffin top or extra baggage.

One thing I have found to be crucial to my healthy eating and staying focused is food tracking, journaling, counting, whatever you might call it. There are many tools to help us do this these days. It is important to find what works for you in your situation. What are you more likely to follow through with completing every day! Keeping a spiral notebook or pad and pen with you and writing down what you eat may work best for you. There are now many options using technology, including using your phone as a tracking device either through simply taking notes on it or downloading an app that can go above and beyond to tell you what your truly eating. There is also the aspect of knowing subconsciously that since I am going to have to write it down I am more likely to not eat certain junk items.



I myself have found using an app, is what works for me! I personally love myfitnesspal, it is a great app that helps me keep track of not only what I am putting into my body (food and water), but also keep track of my physical activity, and show me a breakdown of my daily intake per nutritional value.

 It is hard to get into the routine, especially when you are busy at work and being a mom, but well worth it in the end.  If you can be determined to track just one months worth of eating, you will at this point be into a routine and should be able to stick with it. The payoff can be worth more than the time in the long run.

So...is it worth it for you?
