21 Day Fix: Week 3, Day 6

Today was the last workout day as tomorrow is day 7 and the "active recovery day" of the 21 Day Fix. I did Dirty 30 and Yoga Fix today. I really have been feeling my back tighten up the past 2 days because I have not done the yoga. I did it today and my back feels better, but I still need to see a good chiro around here. Tomorrow will be Yoga Fix and nothing else, so an easy day. I will also be weighing and doing measurements and taking pictures.

Today I went to the movies, again. I had popcorn and raisinettes, again, and while I know it's not the best thing for you especially the quantity you get at the movies, I don't feel bad about it. I say "what the hell!" I enjoy eating popcorn and a little chocolate at movies. It's ok to have a cheat meal once in a while or even once weekly. I eat clean 90 % of the week, so a little cheat meal once a week is not a huge thing. The part that makes it go south is to do it every day and then let it expand to multiple meals a day. That is when we allow the food to control us and not us controlling our food intake. People say it's not easy. People say it's an addiction. People say it's for comfort. I know this and agree with all those things, but the other thing I also agree with is those are all excuses to allow that behavior and not accept responsibility for what is going on. To make a change, you have to learn to accept that responsibility, own it and make a plan to change your habits. You then have to follow through with it. It won't be easy, but it will be worth it. 

The 7 day clean eating challenge for men is something I am working on now. I want to offer something that is more than 1300 cals for guys. I have a lot more work to do on it, but I will get this hammered out. I want to have it all down on paper so I can start that group up next Monday, April 28th. Just before the summer months come along and give the guys, especially the one's near my size, can have something that they can do and not feel like they are starving. When I get it all nailed down, I will do a daily post here for anyone who wants to follow along with the group I start. It will be an interesting thing to do this.

Since tomorrow is the final day of my first round of 21 Day Fix, I now have to decide what I am to do starting Monday. I am not sure if I want to do another round of this or start back on X3. If I start on X3, I will be on that for 3 months which will put me finishing up a week and a half before August. PIYO comes out in June during summit and while I am not going to summit, I do want to start PIYO as soon as it comes out. I also want to to do this and that and the other thing hahaha. I will have to think about this more, but the countdown is on.
