Flabby Mom to FIT Mom: The Hormone Reset Diet Group!

Hey guys!  I hope you watched the above video, but if not, here's a brief synopsis...

A few weeks ago, I opened up about my struggles since my hysterectomy last year. In an attempt to help alleviate some of my symptoms up until my BHRT (bio-identical hormone replacement therapy) appointment on October 16th, I will be following The Hormone Reset Diet by Dr. Sara Gottfried for 21 days starting on September 28th. 

I will also be continuing to do the 21 Day Fix workouts, the 21 Day Fix containers. and utilizing Shakeology daily as the hormone reset diet says to use a protein powder/shake supplement to help prevent muscle wasting by providing extra protein while you eliminate certain things from your diet to reset your hormones.

I would love to have a group of 3 to 5 women that would like to join me in this group, so for every woman that purchases the 21 Day Fix challenge pack (which includes your first month of Shakeology, your workout program, the container system, etc...) I am gifting them with the Hormone Reset Diet book so that it is not something extra that you need to purchase. 

You can purchase your 21 Day Fix kit by clicking the picture above - I will be notified that you ordered and contact you directly! 

If you have any questions before ordering, please don't hesitate to reach out to me at candace.g.taylor@comcast.net ! I would love to hear from you!

Transformation Tuesday: MY 21 Day Fix Extreme Results!

So, there I was on day 1...

Feeling like a failure because my body had gone NUTS after my hysterectomy and finding what I could eat and couldn't eat and what exercise my body would respond to and wouldn't respond to felt nearly hopeless. I felt bloated, tired, and hopeless. Like I had not only failed myself, but the people who were looking to me for weightloss and health living motivation. BUT, I pressed on - hoping and praying that this new program and the meal plan would help me get out of this rut I was in, that I would FINALLY find something that would give me the results that I was after. 

AND - it DID!  The 21 Day Fix Extreme and Shakeology were a God send when I really needed one. I followed the Countdown to Competition plan for 2 of the 3 weeks of the program - as best a stay at home mama who is regularly fed by her children can. I resisted some of the things that they offered me, but not all. And, the second week, my son was on Spring Break, so that week was all over the place with my nutrition AND my workouts. 

But, with all of that being said, I have found a program and meal plan that work for my post-hysterectomy body! It's exciting and a source of relief! 

I lost a total of 6 lbs (even with my crazy week 2) and 8 inches!

Post Hysterectomy Fitness - What my current Diet looks like...

                                          

I mention the meal plan I am following in the video. No doubt, the nutrition is the hardest part, but even following a super clean eating plan before, I found myself gaining weight - instead of losing. The average weight gain of most women in the first year post hysterectomy is 25 lbs. 25 POUNDS!  That's crazy! So, to help you help yourself, please check out my meal planner below - it has the first 7 days filled in to give you an example of what I am eating. You can use the latter 14 days of space to fill in your meals.

Example Meal Plan

And, I can't stress this enough, if you are struggling and would like to learn more about the programs, supplements, or meal plans that I am following in this post-hysterectomy journey, please feel free to contact me at candace@flabbymomtofitmom.com or on facebook here.

My newest adventure...21 Day Fix Extreme!

My newest adventure...

...is the 21 Day Fix EXTREME workout program. I am beyond excited for it as I am within 10-15 lbs of my goal weight. But, even moreso than hitting that ever elusive number is feeling confident in my body, in myself, and in my ability to complete this program as laid out. I am excited for this new challenge and ready to tackle it head on! 

Below, you will find a sample of my first week's meal plan. As you can see, I'm a creature of habit and routine. Sticking with the same meals for the first three days allow me to meal prep effectively so that I have meals that are easily accessible and ready to go whenever I need them to be. (Every two to three hours).

On to what's different about this program versus the original 21 Day Fix...

-NOT a beginner program (you would need to complete AT LEAST two rounds of the original to attempt this one...)

-there are no cheats this time around - no wine, no chocolate, no extras. Period.

-Autumn gives you her personal Countdown to Competition plan that utilizes carb depletion to prepare for an event or bikini competition

-the workouts are MUCH HARDER - think the original Fix on steroids!  EVERY video utilizes bands or weights - even the cardio videos! 

-narrowed down food lists for each container

What's the same?  The containers. Shakeology is still able to be used. 

This is a totally NEW program and meant for people who are already accustomed to an intense workout program. Again, not a beginner program.

On to the goods - here is my first three days on plan...
