21 Day Fix Transformation

I'm freaking out as I write this post. I am so nervous to share this with everyone. So bare with me as I write this.

I completed one of Beachbody's workout programs called the 21 Day Fix. It was a long 21 days I must say. Summer is a hard time to stick to clean eating with cookouts, bonfires, carnivals/fairs, birthdays, etc. But that's just an excuse not to do the program because no matter what season you choose to do a program you are going to constantly be faced with holidays, birthdays, goodies and treats. I decided when starting this program that there would never be a perfect time to do this program, so I might as well start it and finish and deal with all the temptations! And holy crap I did, I turned down funnel cake, pizza, chicken wing dip, pasta.. I turned down a lot to be able to finish this program and get the results that I was looking for.

So I showed up everyday, did my workouts and stuck to the meal plans.

I am about to get really personal... Once I finished the 21 day fix, I became super bloated (female problems), I knew that if I took an after picture then it wouldn't be an accurate representation of my progress and hard work. So I let time pass and a few days ago I woke up feeling light and back to my normal self. No one was home at my house to take my after photos, so I took it upon myself to take one.

Here are all my before photos:

And here are 2 of my after photos.

And I just want to point out that there is ab definition! HECK yeah, I worked my butt off to get that one ab to pop out! 

Here is a comparison of my before and after photo:

I'm sure you are all wondering about how much weight I lost... this is going to be hard for some people to hear because all they want to hear is that the number on the scale went down. Well guess what?!?!?!?

My first week I lost one pound. I actually took it pretty hard. I thought what the heck. I have done nothing wrong and I have only lost a pound? Others were losing 4-7 pound in the first week. But I kept on with the program, I figured one pound lost was better than nothing. Week 2 ended, I weighed myself again.. and I had gained a pound, bringing me back to my original weight (120 pounds). Week 3 ended and I remained the same weight, 120 pounds. I know that this might sound discouraging to some because I didn't really lose any weight while doing the program, but I gained muscle, that one pound that I went up was muscle, it might be that little ab that decided to pop out! haha

This program has taught me so much about portion control, I was over eating in certain areas and under eating in other areas. Since I used to containers daily and would dump them onto my plate I got a visual idea of how much I should be eating of each food. I am constantly eyeing my food to see if it will fit and be "Fix" approved! It has completely changed my life. 

I really don't know if I would have been able to complete the program if I wasn't drinking Shakeology. I literally had a "cheat" meal everyday. When other people needed to have another meal of chicken--I got to have chocolate, when people were eating hard boiled eggs--I was having my Shakeology. It seemed like a "cheat" meal to me because I was drinking my chocolate Shakeology with almond butter (which tastes like a Reese's Cup)!!! YUM!!!
