Day 3

Do you ever had a day where you felt like you were losing weight...then you get on the scale...and you've GAINED 3 FREAKIN' POUNDS?!?!?! What the heck is up with that?!? This shows me just how unreliable a weight scale, digital or manual, can be. Well, I've definitely decided to give the doggone scale a rest! As a woman, you'd think I'd know better than to get on the scale at any point while trying to lose weight, right?!? Well I guess I"m not that smart. But, I've learned my lesson and I'm putting the dreaded scale away!! All I wanna focus on is my eating, exercise, and my mood.

Anyway...today was a pretty good day. My energy level was better, but I still had that moment where I had to talk myself into working out. I worked out, but I was very hesitant...I got it done and I felt better for it once the workout was done.

So today, I didn't eat all of my food/containers, but I'm not hungry and I'm still eating clean and following the 21 Day Fix Extreme plan. I've got 18 days left in the first round and I'm so excited of the possibilities of the end of it.
Also, I'm trying to get better with writing my "colors" and taking pictures and uploading to Instagram (@five4fit). It's a good way to be accountable, but it's also a good way to share my experience with others.

I'm gonna do this...and I got this!!!!

Day 1, 21 Day Fix Extreme

So, I've been struggling over the past month or so, and I'm finally taking the jump to get my butt back on track!! I don't wanna be in Cancun in Oct looking like a frumpy dumpy 40 year old, Sooo that means I've get it goin'!!!!

Starting weight: 185.8lbs

Anyway, I order 21 Day Fix Extreme by Autumn Calabrese (beachbody.com) a couple of weeks ago, and I really like it!! I actually started on March 10th, but I had to start over because I had surgery on March 13th and it kinda set me back. So, today I decided to restart so I can get a full, complete, 21 days in before I critique it :)

Well, today was Day 1. I'm in the 1500-1799 calorie range so I can have 4 green containers, 4 purple containers, 3 red containers, 3 yellow containers, 1 blue container and 1 orange container.

B: Shakeology
S: apple
L: chicken sausage and whole grain bread
S: mixed nuts
D: tilapia sweet potato brussel sprouts greensmoothie
E: Plyo Fix Extreme

I'm really gonna give this 110% effort because I do NOT wanna be 187lbs when I turn 40 in Oct.
So, I'll do better with my journaling and being accountable for everything that goes into my mouth and my activty!!

Oh, and I'll start training for a 10k starting tomorrow too! I'm planning to run in the Race 13.1 race in Greensboro on May 17. I'll be doing the 10k, but if I don't get my butt in gear and start training now, it's NEVER gonna happen...not by May anyway :)

I got this, so LET'S DO THIS!!!
