21 Day Fix Week 1 Results

Last year I started working on "Project Get Your Body Back" and as much as I'd love to say that that was completed....it wasn't. But instead of beating myself up about it I'm choosing to stand back up, dust myself off and get back in the game. 2016 is MY YEAR!!!

So last week, January 4th, I committed 100% to the 21 Day Fix. I created my meal plan, went grocery shopping, prepped my food and got my DVDs ready to start. I was a little nervous because from November-December my knee was in BAD shape, some days not even being able to walk up the stairs. But my doctor said that I was cleared to workout and just listen to my body so thats what I did. I modified when I needed to, pushed when I could and I am so grateful to say that I feel great. It hasn't bothered me at all! 

I am proud to say that at the end of week 1 I am weighing in 7.6 pounds down!!! I was in shock! I had to go to my phone where I've been tracking and make sure I had the numbers right!! Now I know it may not continue to come off this quickly but this was definitely the jump start that I needed!!

Yesterday Ruben and I decided to start the 3 Day Refresh, so in addition to the 21 Day Fix workouts I will be doing the refresh today and tomorrow then back to the 21 Day Fix Meal plan on Wednesday!

Last week we tried 21 Day Fix Beef Stroganoff and it was SO good!! I love the fact that you can still eat some of your favorite comfort foods just cleaned up a bit!! Check it out and let me know what you think...

Ingredeints:

2 cups whole wheat linguini noodles

2 tsp olive oil

1 pound of lean beef

1/2 onion

1 clove garlic, minced

1/2 cup fresh mushrooms, chopped

1 tbsp cornstarch

1/4 cup low sodium beef broth

1/2 cup non fat greek yogurt

Broccoli 

Directions:

*Cook noodles according to package. Drain and set aside. 

*Brown beef, onions and mushrooms together in a medium sauce pan on medium heat with 2 tsp of olive oil. Add garlic and cook for another minute until garlic is fragrant. Remove beef mixture and drain any grease from the pan. 

*Set this mixture aside. Use beef drippings from the pan to make a beef/mushroom sauce. 

*Heat pan on medium heat and add 1 tbsp of cornstarch and the beef broth to the pan, use a wisk to mix everything together and the liquid should thicken in a few minutes. If it becomes too thick you can always add a little more beef broth. 

*Once you have a sauce you can now add the beef mixture and greek yogurt together in the pan. The greek yogurt makes it creamy without adding sour cream. 

*Serve beef stroganoff over cooked noodles with steamed broccoli! 

This plate was one yellow of noodles, one red of beef mixture, 1 green of broccoli.
