I was so excited to receive this program a couple of weeks ago! I loved P90X3 and got great results but I am interested in the portion sizes. As a healthy eater, I feel like I am eating all the right foods, but I tend to overindulge. I think these little containers will keep me in line.
Your container allowance per day is calculated based on your
weight and the average of 400 calories burned per fix workout.
Here is my range to stay in: I am in the 1,200 to 1,499
calorie range! That gives me 3 green (veggies) 2 purple (fruits), 4 Red
(protein) 2 Yellow (starchy carbs) 1 Blue (nuts, ect) 1 Orange (nuts and dressings)
2 spoons (nut butters, olive oil).
How does Shakeology fit into this?? It is counted as a Red container which is a
protein! BONUS easy quick meal for me!
There are also treats allowed as well. They give you a list
of treat ideas that replace a yellow container.
There is an awesome restaurant guide as well. I like that they give you a list of
restaurant foods and what containers that they will check off. For example cheese and veggie pizza (1/4
of 12inch slice) is 2 yellow, 1 orange
and 1 green! In my opinion that would
not be worth it to me! I'm all about
getting the most out of the foods that I eat!!!! The one I would go with is lean meat tacos
(soft corn) with cheese, lettuce, and salsa (2 tacos) is 1 yellow, 1 red, 1
green and 1 blue!
So now the hard part is figuring out how to keep track of
all this and make it work for you!
Luckily we have made it easy for you!
On the Team Beachbody site there are tracking sheets that you can put
your container allowance at the top and you can tally each meal of the day and
check of what you have! This really gives you a visual to follow.
For me, I am the meal
planner so I made myself a color coded excel spreadsheet where I plugged in
exactly what I am going to eat for the week. Then along side of that I have my
sheet of paper with my grocery list of things I need to pick up at the
store. This way when I am done with the
meal plan I can print it off and stick it on the fridge, so I don't forget what
I am making. Then, I shop so that I
actually have the food I planned for! This makes my life so much easier. No standing in front of the fridge each night
wondering what to make!!!
Day 1:
Total Body Cardio Fix…with weights! This was amazing!!
Day 2: Upper Fix: I did 3 & 5 LBS depending on
the exercise. (I need to increase my weights, buying them this weekend.)
Day 3:
Lower fix: Oh my heavens I think that I just did some serious damage to my
lower half. I mean in a good way of
course! I am beyond sore from that
workout but it was perfect!!! Who doesn't want to lean out their butt and
thighs!!!
Day 4:
Pilates: worked my core, my butt hips and thighs, did lots of planks and sit
ups!!!! Loved the workout and it was a
great stretch and change from the pounding of my joints!
Day 5:
CardioFix: AMAZING!!
Day 6:
Dirty 30: 4 rounds, 8 exercises and 39 minutes to get in get out and get on
with your day!
Day 7:
Yoga fix: This workout will help with balance, flexibility, and strength, while
also increasing circulation and speeding the healing of your muscles
What will you need: light and heavy set of dumbbells or
resistance bands. A yoga mat is also
recommended.
