MY TAKEAWAY?

I'm STUFFED! I never eat this much food...not to mention, my meals have never been this colorful each meal! I didn't eat all of the suggested servings for this calorie bracket, which I figure should be just fine since I technically should be in the step below. If this is what "dieting" is like then I'm all over it! ;)

I also learned that PLANNING the entire day is VITAL to getting everything in and also, not going over on a certain container. There's no way I could've done this without writing it down and checking things off. MEAL PLANNING IS ESSENTIAL!


Day 1 in the books! This was fun!



**Please note: It is entirely possible that I miscalculated or mis-photoshopped my description of the foods I had each day. Always measure and calculate to match your container needs.**

My 21 Day Fix Journey: BEFORE

I start my 21 Day Fix journey today. These little containers sure look awfully small.....

Will I starve to death?!
Will I stick with the workouts??
Can I really do this while I'm still nursing an eight month old and not totally screw up my milk supply?


Ya reckon I way over think things.?
Of course I won't starve to death. Chances are, I'll be eating more food than I normally do...just better, good-for-me foods!
Yes, I WILL stick to the workouts because not only is this for ME, it's for my kids. It's for my fellow challengers and coaches who are doing this with me. And I will because I said I will. That should be enough!
And yes, I can do this because I will keep a close eye on my supply and if needed, I'll increase my water. I've already bumped up a calorie bracket as suggested.

So yeah.

I'm doing this.

My goal weight is 125 and to be toned and able to make it through an entire workout session without dying....I mean modifying.

I want to go up my flight of steps without my legs burning!!!
I want to eat healthier and FEEL GOOD!

I want to FINISH SOMETHING!!

So here we go.

21 Days.
6 little containers.
Daily workouts.
Shakeology.

I've got this!!!! See you on the other side!
