21 Day Fix, Day 21: RESULTS ARE IN!



Don’t expect to change overnight. Focus on one day at a time, making one small change at a time. Overtime, every day, every small change will add up to big transformation. Don’t give up!

DAY 21 WORKOUT & FOOD

Today I ate oatmeal for breakfast, a turkey wrap for lunch, an apple for a snack, and a salad with tuna for dinner. I, of course, did my yoga fix workout too. But I’m sure y’all don’t care much about today’s details, because its time for the results!!!

PROGRAM RESULTS

Let me just say I cannot believe how much the last three weeks have changed my life. Prior to doing 21-Day Fix, I made one excuse after another to avoid changing my lifestyle habits. “Oh I want to wait until after I finish having kids to get the body I want”… “I don’t have the money to buy a program/shakeology”… “Oh YOLO, so I’m going to eat whatever the heck I want”… But there comes a day when you wake up and say enough is enough with the excuses and commit to making a change. And don’t look back. The only time you should ever look back is to see how far you’ve come…

Weight Lost: 13 pounds

Seriously, if someone would have told me I could lose 13 pounds in 3 weeks, I would have jumped on that opportunity right away! And Josh lost 12 pounds! The program is designed for you to lose 10-15 pounds in 3 weeks- I wasn’t sure it was possible heading into it, but we both are proof that it is!

Overall Inches Lost: 11 inches

That includes 4 inches in my waist! Josh lost 11 inches too. We lost inches in every area of our body!




WHAT’S NEXT

This program has shown me that it’s practical to live and eat this way in everyday life. I had this perception that diets get easily broken because life gets in the way. Maybe that’s true with diets, but this isn’t a diet, this is a health program, a lifestyle modification. Life happens. Life goes on. In the past 3 weeks, I’ve gone to parties, gone out-of-town, gone out to dinner, gotten take-out, etc., and haven’t missed a beat with the plan.

Now, I know my future eating won't be perfect- you have to treat yourself every now and then, and you can't beat yourself up for that either, but I truly believe that consistently eating clean and portion control makes a difference- not only yielding "quick fix" results, but helping you maintain a healthy life in the long run.

I hope that by blogging through my journey, someone will be inspired to conquer their personal goals- don't let your excuses or circumstances keep you from experiencing the joy life has to offer. You are stronger than you think- you can do it!

Best wishes to everyone on their journey to health and happiness!
