#21dayfix

I am LOVING 21 Day Fix. The nutrition guide makes it super simple. The workouts are 30 minutes and each exercise is ONE minute! I can do anything for one minute! I love it!

I can't tell if I have lost any weight but I have been super moody. I have gathered that this is because I used to use good and binging as my coping mechanism. Now I am building healthy habits! Endorphins help me cope. 

Feeling my feelings is a strange and difficult adjustment. I know it sounds odd. I am so used to stuffing and hiding from my emotions that it is hard to just feel mad or upset or hurt and not do anything about it-- because sometimes you can't! And that's okay!

It includes 21 Days of Happiness too, so I think I will do that on here. I am so stinking excited!!!

End of Day 3

I just am finishing day 3, I am noticing that I cannot, CANNOT eat the full servings I calculated I should eat.
However, I have more energy, more self-control.
I haven't started the workouts yet. I did yoga on Monday and rearranged my room (like hauled furniture out and down the stairs) yesterday and today.
I decided that I am not going to guilt myself anymore. I am going to do things I enjoy and when my room is clean, working out WILL be a joy - I do love working out, but not if I have other things on my mind like reorganizing, cleaning, getting rid of, stuff and clutter in my room and essentially simplifying my life. I am sticking to the food plan and I like it. The portions are reasonable, which I found surprising! But I am pleased.
:) I will update again soon!

Starting 21 Day Fix

I am starting 21 Day Fix from Beachbody. I got the package and looked at the containers. I was kind of surprised - the containers seemed so small! When I prepared my lunch for the week, I was surprised how much fits in one container.
I decided to keep an update on what I am eating for the time and will update every few days. I will also update with my pictures!
These are before pictures (this is taking a lot of effort for me).

My life in 250 words or less.

I am now 26. I have 2 great brothers Ryan and Joey, 2 awesome parents and 3 dog-siblings, Flippy, Kaya and Kimba. We live in the suburbs of Tampa, FL. I am a Returned Peace Corps Volunteer, which was probably the defining year of my life. I lived in Africa by myself with no running water, no electricity and only one American in a 10k radius from my house. I learned to be myself, to be happy and caring and kind. I learned I dislike teaching (at least the lesson planning and grading parts). I learned to grow up and how to become independent. I am in a serious relationship. We have been together for essentially 7 years though there was some off-time to us, he has been my man since I was 19, my first love, my first boyfriend, my first for almost everything. I am so lucky to have Doug – our relationship is stronger than ever and I am truly happy with this man. I am learning to love myself. I am in the midst of changing my lifestyle – and it is harder than I ever thought. I work full-time doing eligbility for public assistance and it is challenging but rewarding. I value honesty, gratitude and loyalty – because I embody those traits as much as I can. My goal in life is to become a social worker – a trauma counselor to be exact.

Please tell me something about you!
