The Reality Of The 21 Day Fix

I really had good intentions of completing the 21 Day Fix straight through.... Then I moved... Into Candy Land :-) Plus I'm training for a half-marathon coming up this Sunday Oct. 26th, and after a 10 mile run for some reason my body just can't move the next day... Weird, I know! I've also been

experiencing pain in my knee which requires me to modify things and rest it often...

As much as I wanted to complete it straight through, by following the eating plan and not skipping any days, it just isn't going to happen right now, and that's ok!

The more this healthy living lifestyle is taking hold of me and how I do things, the more I realize that I don't have to be quite so rigid. It's a lifestyle after all, not a sprint to the finish line and then go back to what I was doing before.

So, instead of focusing on the fact that I haven't been able to stick with this program perfectly, I am choosing to focus on eating healthy, on exercising daily but also listening to my body to know when it needs rest, especially after long runs!

Have you ever had good intentions with a workout program or gym membership, but then it didn't work out exactly like you planned it? Don't give up! Choose to make healthy choices, and do the best you can with what you have! Get an accountability partner or workout buddy. Don't try to go it alone! It's so much easier to give up or quit when no one knows you are doing it!

In my next Challenge Group, Be Grateful and Grow Strong, I am planning to go all in and give this 21 Day Fix my ALL! I'm already working on a meal plan, planning out my workout area and am super stoked about this upcoming group! I still have a few slots available, so if you are serious about getting your nutrition and fitness in order consider joining me!
