I have one round of the 21 Day Fix program under my belt and I feel that I had great results. It certainly gave me the boost I needed to stay on track better than I had been previously. I have always eaten healthy but have just found myself over-indulging on the weekends and that started trickling into the week days.
Here are my measurements (in inches) before I started the 21 Day Fix program:
Chest: 32, Right Arm: 11.5 , Left Arm: 11.25, Waist: 30.5, Hips Before: 34.75, Right Thigh Before: 22.25, Left Thigh Before: 22
During round one, I missed three of the active rest days. I went into the 21 days trying to commit to the weekend workouts, weekend workouts are difficult for me – can any of you relate? I did a few doubles with T25 workouts, but not too many.
Here are my after measurements:
No change in my chest measurement, Right Arm: 11 Left Arm: 10.75, Waist: 26.5, Hips: 34, Right Thigh: 21.25, Left Thigh: 21.25
An overall total of 7.25 inches lost when you add it all up. May not be HUGE losses, but I wasn’t spot on the full 21 days. I did see results, I did make better choices, and I did get more workouts in. My February calendar looked better than it has ever looked before, see the difference between January and February? I also stuck with it into March. My first round of 21 Day Fix ended on March 9th.
(And in case you are wondering, all the blue dates in March are my scheduled workouts.)
As much as I hate to post these pictures, as I’m still not comfortable where I am currently at, seeing it in a photo makes it easier to understand why my clothes don’t fit the way I want them to. It also holds me more accountable to all of you reading this post.
AFTER BEFORE
No major change right, but there is a change! That’s what matters. Could it have been better? Yes! But am I discouraged? No! Why? Because I’m responsible for my actions and my results are a reflection of those actions! The equation needs to stay balanced to achieve your goals. What is the equation? Fitness + Nutrition + Support = Success
I know that I need to work harder on the nutrition side of the equation. I had plenty of workouts and plenty of support from my challenge groups, but I didn’t eat “perfect”.
I’m spending the next 21 Days and focusing in on my nutrition and ensuring at least 5 days of cardio and strength training workouts to help me reach the next “hash mark on my belt”.
