Almost on track #21dayfix- Day one and two

As I write this on the start of my Day Three, I have to take a moment to reflect on Day One and Two. For the most part, I have been doing ok, with the exception of the looming Girl Scout cookie ghosts in my apartment and life. Luckily, I took the remaining boxes to work yesterday and weening myself off the nonprofit crack.

In all seriousness, this has been my hindrance and so I am ready to overcome. So I gave boxes away, and now they are sitting in  my supervisor's office because I can't be around them. Which probably means that I will have some legit withdrawals in the next couple of days. But hey- no sacrifice = no change.

So let me share some of my thoughts on the program so far:

Pros
I like have a 30 minute fitness routine- Knowing that the routine is 30 minutes just helps me in planning my time better. Sometimes, the Beachbody programs vary in time with some of the programs, and then I want to rush or skip certain ones because they are like 40 minutes or 40 minutes long. Knowing that every routine is 30 minutes is quite helpful.

It's legit so much food- If you plan correctly to get all the containers in, you are eating like every couple of hours. I'm not talking a protein bar and water, but legit meals. You should not be hungry.

Don't let the containers intimidate you- it really just helps with portion control, which helps when you go out to eat. Because I knew I was meeting friends for lunch, I knew exactly what to order, and because I have been working with portion control, I knew exactly what I could eat and how much.

Routines are easily broken down- the way she does rounds lets you know how much and how long you do stuff, which you can totally convince yourself that you can do at least a round. Next thing you know, you're going into your cool-down.

Cons
Autumn is a little annoying- I see her as a Jillian Michaels lite.

The warm-up is exactly the same- so far, the warm up to each one is eaxctly the same. I don't know if this was done on purpose but that's kinda boring. I'm hoping for some change up soon, but we shall see.

The app is not as intuitive as I thought- its helpful to keep track of the containers, but I also want to know what I'm eating. Plus with my foray into Girl Scout cookies, I want to keep myself accountable. So I'm continuing to use the My Fitness Pal app to do that.

Overall, I am glad that I am doing this program, just because of it's length and the need to be focused for the next few weeks. We shall see =)
