I think need my head examined (I’m pretty sure my family
thinks so too – but perhaps for more reasons than just this).
The 21 Day Fix is an eating program using portion control of
regular grocery store food paired up with a daily exercise program that changes
the type of exercise daily for 7 days and then repeats those exercises the
second week - followed by the final week of double exercise.
Sounds insane right? Well these are the same folks who gave
the world Insanity and P90X and at least 20 more work out programs.
But I’m sick of being overweight, I’m sick of not being as
athletic as I’d like to be, and I’m ready to be a better role model to my kids –
It’ll be hard because I spend so much time in my vehicle because of their
activities but over the next 21 days my goal in addition to eating better and
exercising every day on this program is to lose at least 12 pounds and get into
the next size lower jeans (that are already waiting in my dresser drawer from
back when they were the ‘right’ size jeans).
Yesterday I planned and prepped some meals (and ate some
cookies to get that out of the way), today I started off with the Full Body
Cardio workout at 5:40 AM this morning, I’m been eating according to the
recommended portions / types of food and I’m ready to keep this going.
I want to be one of the success stories so if you see me
over the next 3 weeks feel free to keep me accountable.
(oh and between Dec 22nd and Jan 1st
it’ll be time to feast – so long as I earn it)
