21 Day Fix Extreme and why the scale is a B

Team Fearless Fitness1 Comment

Happy Sunday Fit Fam!!

I am BEYOND excited to share with you my results from the first round of the 21 Day Fix Extreme. 

I will start by saying that the workouts were totally harder than the original program, as expected and I definitely felt it! 

This time around a struggled. Hard. Nutrition was crazy difficult for me and I’m not sure why. I fell off a few days but quickly picked myself up. I definitely saw some fab results though I could have been more strict. Progress not perfection right? 

So the scale… She is a real Bitch. Yep. I always say to weigh before and then don’t until the end of a program and I typically don’t get A F about the scale but this round I found myself freaking over it. I weighed every week which was  

s-t-u-p stupid! 

I started day 1 at 147, week 2 145 and my final week 3 back at 147… Umm wtf body! But I felt OK, little bloated here and there but I felt good.. I thought I was seeing change. 

Today I did my final way in. 146 26.5% body fat…. So… I lost 1 lb over all… But… I still look in the mirror and feel like I see results… 

I guess I will let you decide….


And…

What do you think?

Am I crazy? Or can I tell the scale to eat ๐Ÿ’ฉ?

Exactly! So my point is, no matter what, when you are in your journey you should truly think about how you feel on the inside and how you feel when you look in the mirror. We are a number so why should a scale define us?

Happy #FitTipFriday Fit Fam!
As we approach the summer month of June, most people say the day after Memorial Day is when people start to really analyzing if they have hit their goals. Have you?
If not, do not fret. There is still time! You just have to follow some simple steps!

Set some goals for your self– what do you want to achieve in 30, 60, 90 days from today. Do you have a coach? If not, why don’t you? You can get a FREE coach to help motivate you just email CoachTina.TeamFearlessFitness@gmail.com

Feeling extra motivated? You can even sign up for our challenge groups and actually have a plan.

Which is my next tip, have a plan! Get organized and understand what you want to achieve and how you will do it. If you have never started a fitness journey before having a coach will really help!

Next, Know your schedule– make workouts nonnegotiable and plan your day around eating healthy nutrition things! If you travel a lot or you have a lot of events you attempt do your homework to always plan ahead. Knowing your schedule will allow you to constantly plan for times where you might be tempted to fall off track.

Track it! That is write– everything you eat you must keep track of. If you don’t, you might forget about that 100-200 calories you ate here and there and it might actually halt your progress.

last but not least, grow a Fit Tribe! YEAH! Accountability and progress is already reached easier when you have a strong support system. If for some reason you can’t find that than that is what we are here for! At Team Fearless Fitness we are driven to wanting to push, motivate and inspire you to be the best version of you and achieve your goals.
