21 Day Fix: Round 2 Complete!

So I finished round two of 21 Day Fix nutrition. I did pretty well most of the time, not much in the way of cheat meals, etc, but on Saturday and Sunday I didn't use my containers. We had a crazy time, very traumatic with the death of my daughter's guinea pig. My meals were spread out way too far. But I still tried to estimate what I was eating, and even though I had some diet soda and chose to use my carbs Saturday for a frozen yogurt, I didn't do too badly. I'm pretty sure I stayed in my calorie range even though I had less veggies than I should have over the weekend. And with the exception of my son's birthday a week ago today and the overindulgence of chocolate cake, I'm fairly certain I stayed within calorie range all three weeks.

Anyway, if you've been following my journey I ended the first round of three weeks with 190. Then I went back up two pounds the next day, and it was another week or after until I saw 190 more regularly. I've been doing PiYo instead of the Fix workouts, and I'm really loving it! I decided not to take pictures until next Monday since PiYo is a two month schedule and you take pics every month. But I did measure today, and lost another half inch around my waist, one and a half inches off my chest, and about a half inch on my hips. My body is much tighter and stronger. I'm two workouts behind due to a couple of things, so I'll try to make them up this week if I can. I'm still tired and could use another rest day, so today will be only one workout.

I woke up this morning to this:


Considering the gaining muscle and losing some inches, I'm really happy with a one and a half pound loss on the scale. Feels like the snowball has started going down the hill and is slowly gaining momentum! I am aiming to reach my goal of 150, but the number doesn't matter. Whatever number leaves me healthy and fit is what number I want to be! 

I'm still going to use Fix containers, but I don't know that I'll actually do full rounds of three weeks since I'm following PiYo. I'll probably just do the Fix program for food during the rest of my PiYo schedule. 

So, that's where I am right now! I love how my life has changed in six weeks. Losing inches and gaining health. I'm excited to be starting another weekly workout program with the women at church, using my AFAA certification for the reason I got it. 

Next Monday I'm taking pictures to celebrate one month of PiYo! I can already tell there's going to be a good-sized difference!
