April 27

Just came back from vacation ate too much didn't work out and the belly is showing it. I received 21 day fix in the mail. I really have no excuse not to do it anymore I am healthy, have more spare time than before with my job change, and I am motivated to get in better shape. I am sure I can come up with an excuse not to do it but I really shouldn't have any. 21 days fix containers are smaller than I expected but it seems like a decent amount of food per day just the right portions and not a lot of filler foods. The program is all about portion control and eating foods in the right portions plus a 30 minute workout everyday I haven't tried it yet but from the reviews I have read the workouts are less intense than T25 but great. This program is a little complicated at first it comes with colour coded containers. Green is for vegetables I get 4 of those a day, purple for fruit I get 3 a day but my banana will be 2, red it for protein 4 a day shakeology counts as protein, yellow for grains, 3 per day and 3 times a week can sub one for a treat, wine, or juice, blue is for good fats nuts, avocado, orange is for dressing and seeds, and a teaspoon 4 a day haven't really figured out the small containers yet. Tea and coffee is allowed but only with a little non fat milk and soy milk is considered a treat so I should be giving up my latte a day but I will just go to the smallest portion I can just not ready to give it up yet. The program allows cheats and things like 1 waffle or a small tortilla are a yellow container. It gives you the container equivalent if you are going to be eating out. So let's see if I can stick to this one for the next 21 days. For more information about this program go to http://www.beachbodycoach.com/isha21
