First week of 21 Day Fix in the books!
And I'm THRILLED to say I'm down
3.5 pounds in just one week.
 |
Starting over again freakin SUCKS!!!!
I can't do the moves as well as I used to be able to
and I don't feel as fit
 😪
I put on weight through the summer and my clothes are feeling a bit tight
It comes down to one of two choices:  Be disappointed in myself and just throw in the towel...Or  Work on it each day and slowly improve and get somewhere I vote for not giving up on yourself and being the driver of your own bus and work for it.
Take back control and take it one day at a time, one meal and one workout at a time

| Simple, healthy and delicious! Strawberries -  Greek Yogurt -  Granola from Kashi -  |
It was the program that I followed to lose all the baby weight I gained with our last son, and finally get rid of the maternity and XL clothing that had been in my closet for so long. It was also the program that help me get set on this new healthy lifestyle I've learned. I lost 35 pounds on that program and it taught me a new way of eating and it also taught me the discipline of fitting in some exercise in each day.
No gym memberships. No need to work out to the point of overdoing it, and it did allow for some treats here and there. It was completely up to me; the closer I followed that nutrition plan, the faster the weight came off.
After a very fun filled summer with my kids and slipping back into my old habits, I decided to recommit to this program again.

30 min leg workout
 and I didn't even need to leave the home.
Barre legs workout off of BOD done
 🔥
Legs are shaky and I'm ready for some lunch!!!
Belief is the driver of everything we set out for ourselves to accomplish. I KNOW I can stick to this for 21 days I KNOW I can make time for these workouts I KNOW I can trade the treats for healthier things I believe I will make some trade offs and it will be worth it! I believe I can do this so I WILL |
This meant I :
- Followed the workout schedule (just missed one workout)
- Drank my chocolate Shakeology every day for optimal nutrition (I didn't miss one)
- Followed the nutrition plan to a T (the only treat I had was a Hard Rootbeer on Friday night)

| Little mans first day back in gymnastics He loves this! Lots of running, climbing and balancing, what a big week for him I DID get my workout done this morning (I was trying to put it off until tonight, but deep down I knew I wouldn't do it later) I ran out of time to make breaky so my shake it is! Completely avoiding the Timmies drive thru bagel cause I'm seeing some results already. I'm pumped! Sticking to this  |
 |
| Pssssst! Guess what!! I happened to wander thru Walmart today and found these workout tops! $5 each! Score! There were even more with different sayings. I grabbed a couple as a reward for this week's hard work. |
Because I had taken the time to plan my meals last weekend, I knew exactly what I needed to eat when I was feeling hungry. No room for treats when I was constantly keeping myself full right?
I took my before photos and was shocked, no one likes taking "before" photos. Instead of feeling disapointment in myself I just accepted where I am today, and told myself that those WILL change because I have complete control in this. I did it before with focus and conscious effort and I know I can do it again.
I'm not quite ready to share those before photos, but I will at the end of the 21 Days. I have them to look back on in the mean time to keep me focused on what I'm putting in my mouth.
Here's some examples of the meal plans I've been following incase your curious or want to do it along with me (feel free to make changes or tweak things to your food liking)
Going on into week #2 here is my meal plan
and incase you'd like to see week #1 here it is
