STATurday: My Journey with 21 Day Fix and Shakeology

Well, it has come.  I have one day left on the 21 Day Fix program and it has been a great one to follow these last 6 weeks.  Time goes so quickly, I can't believe that we are already here at the end.

Again, I really like the nutrition plan aspect of this program, the containers are fool proof and really help you with food portions.  Just last night, my own fiancée and I went out to dinner and decided to just split our meal - restaurants charge so much for one plate and the reason is because they give you anywhere between 2-4 servings per plate!  It also saves us money when we split a dinner plate and we are always completely full and satisfied.  Had it not been for this program, I probably wouldn't have known to make the adjustment when going out to eat at restaurants.

Weight:  152

 

 

I think my body was more toned when I started. Dang!  Pictures totally hold one accountable - look at the difference from 6 weeks ago to now. 

Weight:  154

 

Well, many people say that gaining weight means gaining muscle, but I think the pictures speak for themselves.  I have learned a valuable lesson from doing this program.  Not all programs are created equal and I need to be better about taking pictures and measurements to keep me motivated to continue on.  Does the excuse that my dogs ate my measuring tape sound reasonable as to why I haven't been measuring?  I mean, it really did happen and I've been too busy to pick up a new one!

NO ONE IS PERFECT, especially me.  I am not very proud of where I'm at right now, but this is a journey and I think that failing is part of it.  I'm better off than I was back in December 2013.  And I know that if I want change to happen, I have to keep working towards it.  I will have set backs and months where I get behind - but this is a journey.  It's about falling and getting back up again.  It's about never giving up and just being happy with yourself and seeing how far you've come. 
I am proud of myself.  I am proud of where I'm going and what I've become from this process. 

I am going to start P90x3 or Focus T25 again and see where it takes me.  I'm going to be really good at taking measurements again and holding myself more accountable with my decisions. 

Thank you for following me on my journey.  It's been an amazing one, that is for sure.  Looking at where I started, it really puts things in perspective.  This is me below - Day One - December 2013.

If I can do it, you can do it.  Don't ever give up.  Keep pushing - even when it gets hard and you feel like giving up. 

 

WE can do this.
