The My Fit Foods 21-Day Challenge is over. Not a day too soon. I stuck to it 100%--the meals, all the water, my 2 earned cheat meals, nothing but MFF for 3 weeks. I lost 3 pounds total. Disappointing because average is 6-15. Of course I consider myself above average, so I thought for sure I would blow through the minimum 6 pounds. I am trying to stay focused on the good that came from the program--clean and healthy food, small portion sizes, lots of water, and probably most important, the discipline to follow through 3 weeks on an eating plan.
Not sure where I will go from here. I want to continue to eat as clean as possible, and plan on adding more fruits and veggies to my diet. While the MFF plan had fruits and veggies, it was very heavily weighted on protein. I want to add some whole grains. I think for dinner tonight I will have the tomato sandwich I've been craving--really the only thing I've craved since starting the MFF plan. Tom's growing tomatoes in the backyard and I will bake some whole wheat bread. Mmmmm...good.
I also recognize that I need to step up my exercise plan. Light exercise for 3 hrs/week just doesn't cut it for me. I am not eager to get back in the gym, and my knees/feet are not yet ready to run again. I CAN lift some weights and swimming would be a good option (other than the swimsuit part...).
Thanks for following along on my MFF experience!
