I am so excited to start the 21 Day Fix tomorrow. Okay, that's sort of a lie. I'm nervous, a little dreading it and pretty excited. The workouts I love. The workouts I can totally handle. On my off days the modifiers are great and one I'm feeling ready to roll I can really get a phenomenal workout. The problem is of course the eating. Its not that I don't like to eat healthy or that I can't follow the plan. I do like to eat healthy and in fact I do eat healthy all the time. Its just I like to be creative in the kitchen and somehow I feel stunted by the 21 Day Fix. I miss baking and creating and fun things to do in the kitchen. Mind you, on a regular basis about 85% of what I do is eat following the 21 Day Fix. I like fresh fruit and vegetables and healthy lean meats. I don't eat a lot of carbs or dairy and a reasonable amount of nuts. I can hang with the 21 Day Fix for 3 weeks but when its over I take the suggestions and then I go back to my regularly scheduled program. Starting tomorrow and for the next 21 Days I have 2 things going for me. First, its summer so what I love to eat is just super plain and super fresh food. Second, I'm going to work harder to 21 Day Fix-ize my regular recipes. Maybe its just a mind set but either way I want to turn my meals into 21 Day Fix friendly portion controlled meals so I can still create and still do well. The great 21 Day Fix app should help me as should the new FIXATE cookbook.

And yes, a little of this might be happening.

But time to get serious! Time to trust my process and trust the journey.

Okay, so happy to get that off my chest. Time to get this show on the road. Wish me luck!
