So part of the reason I decided to do the 21 day fix challenge is because I had gained some weight while recovering from a back injury. Now I only gained 7 lbs but believe me it felt like 15. I hate that feeling when you can't button your skinny jeans and just forget trying to bend over in them because they feel like they may rip any minute. Yeah I was in that boat, I'm sure everyone knows that feeling, it sucks! So first I got a little depressed and ate like a monster making my 7 lbs turn into 9 lbs and then I took a breath and said nope. I can't go back to my unhealthy lifestyle. I'm kicking these pounds off. I started swimming since running was too hard on my back and kept doing physical therapy and now I can run again and even do this challenge.
For the 2 weeks I have been on this challenge I have felt so good about my decisions. Today I put on my skinny jeans and guess what; I can button them and even stretch in them. Mostly at this point I am proud of myself. I have one more week of the challenge left but I wont be ending the routine. Instead I have decided to make it my regular diet. I feel great I feel satisfied after meals I even give myself the occasional treat. Plus my skin is looking better since cutting down on sugar or maybe its the added vitamins.
I will be posting a meal calendar so dont forget to check it out and maybe get some ideas for your own health goals.
