First round of the 21 Day fix


My first round of the 21 day fix is complete! In this first round I lost 11 pounds, 3 inches off each thigh, three inches off my waist and an inch off each arm. I will admit I did not give this program 100% I didn't follow the nutrition plan as close as I should have and I didn't always make my work outs. So just think about my results could have been if I had gave it my all!

I am doing another round of this program not only because I want to see what the results will be when I try harder but I love how it makes me feel. I can feel my arms and legs getting stronger. My back is no longer in pain and I feel more amazing every day. I have been trying harder at eating the right things and finding alternatives to when I have a craving for something sweet. I just want to say Vegan chocolate cupcakes with peanut butter on top is my new favorite treat lol. I also helps that all the ingredients are all natural and organic, so I don’t feel as guilty when I give in.

Since I started working out in October last year (2013) I have lost 41 pounds 9.5 inches off my waist, 4 inches off my bust, 8 inches off of my hips, 3 inches off each arm and 5 inches off each thigh. That’s a total of 29.5 inches! I have dropped 3 dress sizes and find things that I wore when I was 18 fit even better than they did then.

And some of my non scale victories since I started working out in October are:
No more back pain
Sleeping
More energy
Depression is almost gone
PTSD in almost gone
I don’t get winded going up a flight of stairs
I can play with my son
I fit into a size 18
I can pick my son up easily
I have amazing confidence


I am loving this new me and I cannot wait to keep going! I have a goal to fit into a pair of shorts that are a size 16 by June I have no Idea if I will but I am sure going to try and If I get to June and they still don’t fit me, It doesn't matter I am still going to keep going because of how I feel not what size I am!

Working out from home

I love working out, it boosts my energy and my mood but I absolutely hate gyms. I’ve had memberships before and I use to love to go work out in the middle of the night when I couldn’t sleep. However, my workouts were always the same. I would jog on the treadmill for about twenty minutes, ride the bike for another twenty minutes and then I would play with the machines not really knowing what I was doing. I always left feeling like I didn’t really get a work out.

I first started working out at home in October of 2013. At first I was skeptical because all of the work out programs that I had done at home didn’t really do anything for me. I got bored or I felt like it wasn’t a good workout. But then I met Turbo Fire. It is one of the most amazing programs that I have ever done. I had sweat dripping off of me, I was out of breath, my muscles burned and I felt absolutely amazing! After ninety days I lost 30 pounds.

It’s not just the program that makes me feel awesome, it’s the fact that when I work out at home, I don’t care what I look like, I can grunt, sweat, moan, scream, swear or look absolutely ridiculous while I am learning the moves and no one is there to judge me or make me feel weak.

I am currently using the 21 day fix, The first round has been rocky. I will admit I haven’t been doing so hot when it comes to my nutrition but I love the work outs. So I am going to be doing another round of the 21 day fix and see if I can get even better results! So far on this round I have lost 5 pounds, an inch off my waist and two inches off each thigh, and it’s not even the full 21 days. I will find out on Sunday what my total loss was and I can’t wait.

So, here’s to no more gyms, no more workouts that feel like I haven’t accomplished anything and no more feeling like I can’t.
