I have successfully completed the My Fit Foods 21 Day Challenge. I started out at 137-8 and according to the scale in my home…when I weighed this morning…I am down to about 130!!!
I will take it! I am SOOO happy I did this challenge…I felt so many positive changes…and would recomend it to ANYONE. If you are on the fence…just do it!!
The easy part:
- Having fresh meals all planned out – It is amazing to have everything ready to go in your fridge. I had so much time on my hands
- Lots of food – The meals in the beginning of the day are HUGE. There are some days I can hardly finish the meals.
- Fresh Food – I cook a lot, but I have never had the variety of meals I had with My Fit Foods. I loved knowing that every meal was a full on different meal.
- The protein bars – I LOVE the protein bars at My Fit Foods. They are so tasty!
- No cravings – For some reason I never craved candy or chocolate on this challenge. I assume that means that I was eating the right balance of food.
- More energy – The first week of the program is when I noticed it the most, but eating the right food, and drinking water gives you so much energy!!
The hard part:
- The Liver Cleanse – The liver cleanse was hard for me to drink everyday…it got easier, but it was never something I was excited about.
- No snacking – I am a HUGE snacker…grabbing food left and right. I bet I was eating 200-300 calories snacking on all the samples at Whole Foods.
- Not eating past 6pm – even though I was rarely hungry…I would sometimes freak out at 6 thinking…this is my last meal until breakfast. I was hungry for the first few days…then it became not such a big deal.
- Drinking water – I have never been a big water drinker…but on the challenge you have to drink 80 ounces a day. This was rough at first…but I saw HUGE changes in my energy and skin after drinking lots of water.
What I learned:
I know I picked up a few good habits from the challenge.
1. I thought I was eating a big enough breakfast…I wasn’t. I will attempt to always eat a big bowl of oatmeal before I go to work and bring snack to eat before lunch time.
2. Speaking of snacks…I will no longer skip that 3pm snack. With My Fit Foods I preferred to eat the protein bars which were really filling.
3. No snacking – Now I will indulge occasionally, but snacking is my weakness…and it only brings tight fitting jeans. Before I take a tiny corner of cake…or a cookie in the office I will really consider if it is worth it.
4. Water – I have to drink water. Drinking water is the key.
So yay! Seriously if you are looking to jumpstart your fitness…and need something to help you focus and lend you a helping hand…sign up for the My Fit Foods 21 Day Challenge.
