End of Round 1!

Well, even though I spent a lot of time prepping and preparing my 3 Day Quick Fix, I sucked at it. I followed perfectly the first day, but then life and schedules got in the way and I sucked the next two days. It happens, and I still stuck to my colors on day 2, but today I splurged a little on treats before starting in on round 2 tomorrow.

Here are my overall thoughts on the program:

Favorite Parts:

• The containers! I love being able to pack my food in them, and they are super easy to follow.
• Shakeology was great. I'm glad I gave it a try. I'm going to finish up my bag and then do this next round without it and see how it goes, and if I think it's worth the investment of continuing to buy it. 
• Pilates!!!! And I'm even actually starting to love Plyo! I also enjoyed Cardio Fix
• My meal plan
• My challenge group! AWESOME group of people who are very supportive

Least Favorite Parts:

• You only get one set of containers with no option to order an extra set. My dog chewed on one of mine, and now I'm stuck.
• The warm-up is SUPER boring after about day.... 5. They could have switched it up a little bit. I'm also not sure it's the greatest warm up.
• Yoga. I replaced it with Plyo Fix each week. 
• The amount of money I had to spend on groceries because healthy food costs so much more than things like ramen!
• 3 Day Quick Fix - with my schedule I failed at it. There's not actually anything wrong with it, but I'm upset that I wasn't able to stick with it.

Today's Biggest: 
Challenge(s): I binged tonight, but that's okay. I shouldn't reward myself with food, but it was kind of worth it. It was yummy. 

Success: Pushing through the entire 3 week program and not giving up!!!! There was a very real chance that I would quit half-way through, and I didn't! 

Tomorrow I will try to:

• Have the energy to start round 2 - I don't want to stall out because I've "been there, done that"
• Drink more water
• See if I can figure out how to be more budget-friendly with my groceries for this round

And finally, my results!

Anyone who knows me knows how hard it is for me to post this, especially the before pictures, but I wanted to share my results after the last 3 weeks. When I had my husband take my before pictures three weeks ago I cried when I put my photo collage together. When I put together these comparison pictures I was SO proud of myself, I'll take any judgment that might cross somebody's mind. I worked my butt off.

I was able to lose 4lb and 11in (most from chest, waist, and hips) in just 3 weeks. That is so crazy to me on paper, but much less crazy when I think about the sweat, planning, and healthy food I put into my body! I even bought a new swimsuit and I put it on and didn't feel bad about myself! That has never happened to me in March!
