Round 2 Complete

It's been 21 days since I started round 2 of my 21 day fix.  I have been feeling strong and confident and doing great only skipping one day of exercise.  My eating has been 80% good with the occasional cheat here or there.  After last round's bummer results I took this round less strict with the diet simply because I was somewhat crushed and giving myself time to "heal" mentally.  So, after these past three weeks I am happy to say I am down another 1.2 pounds, but better yet, my back fat is GONE!!!  That's right folks, no more back fat for this woman!  It's funny, I feel like I still look the same and I still feel the same.  The only difference is my pants have started falling down a bit.  I know this is a great sign whether the scale reflects it or not.  So, things are shifting and moving and my body is sculpting and toning.  Seeing my before picture, round 1 picture and round 2 pictures, it is amazing to see all the changes I have made!  My body image has been distorted for so many years, it's really hard for me to notice any change, but the pictures are proof that this program is working for me and I'm loving it!  As far as the scale and body measurements go, I'm going to rely mainly on my post-round pictures for a while, because it's really distracting for me to focus so much on numbers that I don't have the power to change as fast as I feel they should.  I find it almost unmotivating to step on the scale and see such a small difference for the amount of work I put in.  I find it very empowering to FEEL the changes through my clothes, the way I look in the mirror and the way others comment on my changing body.  This is what works to help me succeed.

Now that I can see things are working, I have decided to move on to the 21 day fix extreme for round three. Yesterday was round one day one of extreme and boy was it hard!  Oh my gosh, I thought my legs were going to fail on me and I almost collapsed right there into a sad sweaty puddle of Lisa.  It is definitely one of the hardest workouts I have ever done!  I am very excited and hopeful that this fix extreme is going to produce super visible sculpting results.

Wish me luck!

Until next time, happy sweating!
