21 Day Fix Week 1

I finished my first real week of the 21 Day Fix program! I say real because I got the program a month ago, did about 5 days, fell off the wagon and did not get back on for a few weeks :). It was a great week-I lost 2.2 lbs and my stomach is noticeably flatter! I'm so grateful for this program because exercising is not my biggest struggle. I will say that I've fallen in love with Beachbody workouts because they are so efficient! I get a great full body workout done-better than I'd do at the gym-and in such a short amount of time. However, the nutrition guide from the 21 Day Fix has been such a blessing to me. Because I struggle in general with food, I have a really hard time sticking to a strict menu plan/diet guide. Once I start limiting and eliminating foods it pushes me off the deep end. The deprivation I feel I can't overcome with willpower and it comes back and bites me in the form of a binge usually (I use the term binge loosely signifying a time of overeating where I felt kind of out of control). I LOVE the 21 Day Fix food containers because I can eat anything I want (that's good food :) ). Even, dare I say the word, carbs! I hate the food trends of the day and I hate how foods and even whole food groups have been label "bad". I don't buy it and science doesn't really either so I'm grateful for a program that allows for all types of foods. Our bodies use all types of foods! The flexibility in the eating is great-I feel like there's room for me to have what I want when I want it and not feel limited or deprived. The workouts are less intense than T25 which is what I was doing before and I miss Shaun T a little bit but I've gotten used to Autumn and grown to love her style too! And it's not like hers aren't intense..I still modify almost everything! lol That's alright-this is the beginning of my story :) Here's to week two!
