Preparing for the 21-Day Fix

In any workout program, planning ahead is a critical point of success. Here are some things you can do before the 21-Day Fix begins to ensure that you stick to the program and get the results you want.

MEAL PLANNING Checklist for 21-Day Fix

Figure out your calorie level (page 4 of the 21-Day Fix Eating Plan book)
Think of things you can cook ahead of time to either freezer, containerize, or eat later.
Create your menu plan based on healthy foods you enjoy. Check previous posts on this blog for ideas!
Create your shopping list
Containerize! I love the square stacking containers you can use to prepare multiple meals at once. Be sure you know the 21day FIX containers and measurements in case your containers are in the dishwasher or you lose one.
Get your 21-Day Fix snacks ready. Corresponding colored baggies can be found at Target and Walmart.
Having a hard time finding things at the grocery store? You can always search online. Amazon had PB2!!!
First, you need to figure out what column you belong in. It's a simple calculation found on page 4 in the book. Then you can look at the chart to see which column to follow and how many containers you can eat EACH DAY. You don't have to EAT OUT OF THEM, just use them to measure.

ORGANIZE!

Print out your 21-Day Fix Tally Sheets from the Beachbody website here and put them in your 21-Day Fix binder (just any 3-ring binder or folder)
You can even print labels for your containers so you remember what to put in each one and how many servings are allotted per day. I used a Brother label maker to do mine.
I also LOVE the apps for your phone to help you keep track on the go.
Or, use corresponding colored Sticky Notes to keep track of the servings of each color that you consume each day.
Also, be sure to budget your time. You may want to designate one day a week to FOOD PREP! I do this on Sundays!
Here are some 21 Day Fix Food Cards that you can print, laminate and keep in the kitchen for easy reference:

I created these cards to help me stay organized thoughout the day. Laminated to keep protected! Email me at lori.miggins@gmail.com and I can send them to you to print out!
