Successes and Failures. Day 19 - 21 Day Fix Extreme!

So I wasn't sure what to write yesterday which is the reason I am typing this Saturday morning instead of last night like usual.

The whole point of me documenting this journey was to share my successes and failures, honestly and truthfully. I could sit here and write how awesome yesterday was and how I kicked butt, but that wouldn't be accurate.

Up until yesterday, I felt like I had very few failures over the course of the last 19 days, but yesterday was tough.

I woke up not feeling so hot, and mid way through my workout I just stopped. Although I always preach, "listen to your body" to my challengers, it is much harder for me to follow my own advice. So I figured I would finish the workout again last night...well last night came and went and again I really wasn't up for it. So now I will be doubling up today to be sure I get all full 21 workouts in before Monday.

My nutrition yesterday was also not perfect. I ate an extra meal consisting of an extra red (protein) and an extra yellow (I love carbs!). I started my day eating a bit earlier because I thought it would make me feel better after my attempted workout. That's probably the reason I was a bit off on my eating. The hubby and I went on an early dinner date before we picked up the kids from school. My shrimp and roasted tomato didn't make it to a photo because it was gone almost instantly. lol I did remember to take one of my side salad though. ;)

mmm salad!

Let's not sit here in "I failed" land for too long because with the struggles I felt yesterday, I also had an AMAZING non-scale victory! I fit into a pair of jeans I haven't been able to get up over my thighs (yes, I am serious) since before I got pregnant with Addi! Those jeans said more than any scale ever will about my progress, and I am so proud of all that I have accomplished in such a short time!

So now it is time to move on and make today a better day! It's Dirty 30 time!
Happy Saturday friends!
