I started the 21-day fix today. I think this program will be great for me beacuse - while I consistently nail my workouts - I don't let myself go hungry! In theory, I should lose weight on 'my program' because I sit around 1600 calories, but I've been on a 5 year plateau! :) I know that I eat too many carbs; my body knows exactly what to expect anytime during the day/night because I have the same thing almost all the time. So with this program, I have cute little cups to use and my 'usual staples' are not allowed - Don't get me wrong, my staples are diet friendly OF COURSE! Organic power bars, peanut butter and banana on ezekiel bread, etc. But these little cups are going to break me out of my mold.
Green cup - veggie list (3 per day)
Purple cup - fruits (2 per day)
Red cup - proteins (4 per day)
Yellow cup - carbs (2 per day)
Blue cup - nuts/fats, dairy (1 per day)
Orange cup - seeds, olives (1 per day)
what I call "Pink" - nut butters, oils, etc (2 per day)
Cut and dry. I like that. If it doesn't fit in my cups, it doesn't go in my mouth. Portion control - my nemesis. I'm SO EXCITED to have an EATING program, an EASY one. A FOCUSED one. All of my others is a workout program with a food plan. This is a food program, with a workout plan. I know deep down this is going to change my life (or at least my rear!) over the next 3 weeks.
In exactly 21 days, is my daughters sweet 16 party. I hope to be 7#s down by then! I realize that is more than 2 lbs per week, but I ate whatever I wanted last night, and my weigh in this morning is a bit inflated.
Day 1 = 143.4
