There are some things only 21 Day Fix-ers understand and if you've been following this program for any length of time, you'll know exactly what I mean ...
YOU SEE FOOD IN COLORS
Follow the 21 Day Fix Eating Plan for any length of time, and food is no longer seen in the color of its outer skin. Apples are "purple" and cottage cheese is "red" -- it takes the phrase "eat the rainbow" to a whole new level.
STAIRS ARE THE ENEMY
I can spot a fellow 21 Day Fix-er after Leg Day - easy peasy. We're the ones crawling up the stairs thanks to all those 10-second holds.
DISCOVERING A NON-YELLOW TREAT IS LIKE FINDING GOLD
Why must everything wonderful be classified as a carb? That's the world we're living in! The great thing about the 21 Day Fix program is that I can still enjoy all my favorite treats in moderation, but when I find something that's equally delicious and doesn't use a precious yellow container? Score!
BLUE CONTAINER: DECISIONS, DECISIONS
Only one blue container (healthy fat) a day forces me to make some tough life choices. Avocado? Cheese? Almonds? Ugh. The struggle is real.
BANANA REBEL
Alert the authorities: sometimes, I eat more than half of a banana. Most days, I cut my banana in two and stashing the other half in the freezer for a later use. Though, on occasion, I have been known to steal a bite of that other half.
PEANUT BUTTER SHAME
Anyone else find themselves staring down the mouth of a peanut butter jar with spoon in hand? Asking for a friend ...
60 SECONDS CAN FEEL LIKE AN ETERNITY
I find myself applying Autumn Calabrese's famous words of encouragement "You can do anything for a minute!" to other areas of my life; such as, unloading grocery bags from the car and carrying my son's metal trike home from the park.
I'VE GOT A GIRL CRUSH
Who doesn't think Autumn is the greatest thing since sliced bread? Her workouts and healthy eating plan have changed my life for the better, and I'll always be appreciative.

1. When you aren't in the mood for one of the meals and you would rather DIE than eat chicken again, what do you do?
ReplyDelete2. Is this your plan to do forever? I'm worried I'll start, do it for a session, then just go back. It honestly feels impossible to do for more than that!
The great thing about this program is that it teaches you to how to eat real food in moderation - so, to answer your question, I never get tired of what I'm eating because it's food I like.
DeleteI do think I'll follow this program for the long haul because it's taught me to balance. If it were up to me, I'd eat way too many carbs and cheese and zero vegetables, but I know my body needs nutrients from a variety of foods to function its best. Now that I've done this program for almost 2 years, it really is like second nature - I don't have to think about it much. I write a plan each week for what our family will eat, meal prep as much food ahead of time to set myself up for success, and then follow the plan. It really is pretty simple!
Thanks for getting back to me. I've been so curious about those two things. I admire people who can do this.
