My 21 day fix Journey day #1

Hello my beautiful friends. My journey to finding balance continues, this blog is not about someone who has already lost all the weight & is feeling happy & healthy already. This blog is about me a person who has been struggling for a while with restricting at times and over eating other days. I'm looking for balance & looking for something that works for me.

Most mornings recently I have hit that snoozed button, and skipped my workout. I have decided to sleep in instead of going to get my workout completed. I have step up in that scale every morning and see it go up and have allowed it to control the way I feel thru out the day. I have then later on thru the day ate what I wanted & have that cookie or chocolate because it feels like it won't make a difference. I sometimes wonder if there's anyone else out there feeling the same way.

Balance is what I want & strive for. It's hard to be so open about how I feel because I feel exposed. It is also the reason why I decided to share & start blogging. I want to document my way to finding balance in my life.  I know I will get to it at some point & I never want to forget how hard it has been for me. I gain weight way too quickly and it takes so much of me to lose weight, at the end of the day it shouldn't be about the number on the scale but the way I feel . I want to feel healthy & happy. Confident in my own skin. I want to be as healthy as I can be.




This is about never giving up but instead finding new ways to see what works for me. Today I will be starting something completely different. I'm excited & nervous to commit to something new. Today I'm starting 21 day fix by beachbody, I'm sure most of you know about these workout dvds, which promise to show amazing results if you follow their plan.

I choose this plan because I believe in eating the right foods & working out to stay & be healthy. Its not a crash diet where you can eat from all food groups & its designed to help balance your meals & get enough from all food groups. For the next 21 days I will be working out every single day completing a 30 day workout & the last 7 days I will be doing 2 workouts 30 min each. I will be using my color containers to track my foods and help me with portion control (which we all know I need). I will be documenting my journey & my experience to share with you guys. There will be updates & what I eat in a day coming up.



Do I believe this is the solution to it all and It will transform my body completely. NO, I do not. I believe that this program can help me get closer to balance & start get my mind started on the right way. I believe that it can teach me about portion control, and pushing my limits & I believe it can be the start of something amazing. If I love it, I would want to try to do this 2-3 round since I know that's the way to get the maximum results.

For the next 21 days I will be focusing on me & my goal to be a better & healthier version of myself . I will behaving to say "NO" to many things and social events ( unless I can bring my food with me)
I can't wait to show you guys my struggles & accomplishments through my 21 dya fix journey.
I will be sharing some "what I eat in a day" blogs based on the 21 day fix. I do not promise to be perfect specially the no creamer on my coffee. I do promise to try my best & not give up.



So wish me luck because I need it & stay tuned to see how this works for me.

- stay positive
xoxo. Karla

P.S I was a bit hungry today I feel I need to get better at dividing my foods thru out the day to make them last. The containers are tiny but we do get to fill them up a couple of times a day. Workout #1 was amazing, I will be keeping you guys updated on my journey. I'm not doing Shakeology this round but had a sample & it was delicious I loved it. I'll be looking forward to getting it next month.

7 healthy changes you can start making TODAY!

Hello my beautiful friends!!! Healthy can have different meanings to different people. I would love to share what it means to me & the goals that I have in mind for my fitness journey. I strive for a healthy balance on a daily basis, which means to me eating healthy foods & whole foods about 80% of the time & having pizza & a donut on some other days. I love food, and I feel like I'm still in my journey to having a better relationship with food. I have a huge appetite like really I could eat a torta & a burrito and will still ask what's for dessert? this is the reason why I choose to eat bigger portions of healthier & whole foods. Allowing me to treat myself gives me the choice to have some of the foods that I love with moderation. So here are 7 tips that I apply to my life for  a healthier lifestyle, easy things you can start today. I'm still on my journey to finding balance & learning as I go. 1. Make your...

My 18 day fix journey & starting it all over again!

Hello my beautiful friends!   Welcome back to my blog, so today would have marked my 21 days, however there was big bumps on the road and I totally failed by day 18.   I want to start off by sharing that my second week was the best week ever. I did every workout & followed my diet exactly how I should have. I was feeling great and I was actually 5lbs down!!!   Here's everything that went wrong for me the third week   1. I had more than 4 ounces of wine.   2. I some how started adding some popcorn into my diet.   3. On Monday I had a huge cramp on my leg in the morning, so I skipped the morning workout.   4. thinking about doing the double workout made me start to avoid my workouts   5. My cramp on my calf left me with so much pain it made it impossible to do anything but yoga & Pilates.   6. I started to feel unmotivated due to not being able to workout on DOUBLE days.   7. Then I just wan...

What I ate Wednesday!

Welcome to What I ate Wednesday! Today I will be sharing what I ate throughout the day. Honestly I have not been eating as well and as healthy as I normally do. Today I wanted to start getting back on track and decided to document everything that I ate. Minus the snacks which honestly were not too interesting, just one apple & one granola bar.I hope you guys enjoy!     I need coffee to start my day!     Okay so most of us should know the best way to start our day would be with warm water & lemon, but what can I say I love coffee. Starting my day with a warm cup of coffee, dash of creamer & almond milk.     Breakfast, I'm usually on such a rush in the  morning so it helps out to throw whatever fruits I have available & take a smoothie to drink on the go. For today's smoothie I had tons of fruit available, I did 1 cup of almond milk & 1 cup of water, added strawberries & blueberries a banana...
