Finishing the 21 Day Fix

I finished the 21 Day Fix on 7/15 and by the end, I had lost 15 pounds. By the end, I was making better food choices. I was eating real food... not donuts for dinner. I felt sooo good too. It kinda made me mad that I was feeling better. I had more energy. My back hurt less. It was really working.

Since I finished, I have slipped back into some bad habits that I'll have to figure out how to manage, but  I still did it!

21 Day Fix- Halfway Point!

I started doing the 21 Day Fix eating plan. I bought generic containers on Amazon and I'm not doing the exercise program with it. Last time I tried to do this, I lasted until day 5 and gave up. Knowing what I know now, I think my biggest issue was that I tried to change my eating, exercise, and quit drinking pop all at the same time and I failed miserably. Because I quit pop nearly a month before starting, I didn't go through withdraw. I'm really surprised by how well I'm doing (and feeling!) Which kind of annoys me, because I was hoping I wouldn't feel any different and could go back to eating junk. I have more energy, I'm peppier, and my back doesn't hurt so bad that I think paralysis is a viable option. It's also getting easier to choose healthier alternatives without thinking much about it and halting my knee jerk reaction to use food to cope with stress. Who knew??

Monsters in These Books!

My mom has been  rearranging her house and she cleared out some bookshelves and brought out a lot if the girls' books. The Hurricane, my oldest daughter, loves all things school, so she sorted and organized and turned them into "the library." When you want to borrow a book, you use the card that she made and she scans them before you can take them. I was super excited to dig through the piles of Little Golden Books and I "borrowed" my two all time favorite!!

We laughed so hard and I still loves these books. My littlest, Tornado, told me that these are her favorite books ever! Mine too, Baby, mine too.

What was your favorite book as a kidlet?
