Progress Update

Well Hello Everyone!

My three weeks of 21 day fix are up and the results are in!!! Drum Roll please....I am down five pounds!  I didn't take measurements at the end of the 21 days, but I can tell you that my arms are a lot more toned!!! Also, my clothes feel loser than they did before!

I am very happy with my progress and with the program.  Now I have to be honest...I didn't follow it perfectly.  In fact I veered from the approved food list often.  There were several times that the meat I was planning on cooking that night wasn't on the list or I would have a glass of wine and still eat all my yellow containers (carbs).  However, what I did do was try to stick to eating more vegetables and fruits, and less carbs.  Many times my carbs come from beans or almond milk.  Also, I definitely avoided carby snacks.

This program taught me a lot.  First off...portion control.  You can eat a lot of veggies and fruits for limited calories.  I learned to have a lot less carbs and fatty proteins.  My snacks were healthy nuts and seeds or vegetables and fruits.  But my favorite part of the program was how I felt!  I felt full, but on top of that I felt healthy!  My body seemed to love me during this program.  I think it enjoyed not having refined sugars and grains.

My new plan...continue on the portion control program and start Hip Hop Abs workouts with Shawn T!!!
