This past Friday, I started the nationwide 21 day My Fit Foods challenge! I’m very excited! I’ve already lost some weight, am happy, and feeling good!

I meet with a My Fit Foods Nutritionist last Thursday. We talked about some things in my pasts that didn’t work before, went over the challenge and plan, she made a meal plan for me.  We talked about My Fit Foods, went through the program in detail & she answered all the questions I had. Some of the meals have high carbs than the other, so she makes sure I don’t eat meals with the higher carbs all on the same day!

The first part of the challenge is getting the body rid of bad carbs, saturated & trans fats, alcohol, foods with high fructose corn syrup, artificial stimulants, artificial sugars, foods with little to no value, and foods that slow the metabolism down.

The challenge adds foods that are good for you, that increase your metabolism, lean meats, good quality carbs low on the glycemic index, heart healthy essential fats, colorful fruits & veggies, and foods with healthy range sodium.  Needless to say over the past 4 days… I’ve been eating MUCH better!  Given me insight to how I SHOULD be eating regularly.

Each morning before breakfast we do a cocktail cleanse that helps to rid your liver of toxins.  The cocktail consists of water, unsweetened cranberry juice, apple cider vinegar, lemon, and Vitamin B-12!  Your liver is responsible for metabolizing 80′s of your body’s fat, purifies blood, and produces bile to help metabolize fat. It’s awesome isn’t it?!?! I think so!

I’ve been drinking at least 80 ounces of water a day, and have been working up to 150-160 ounces! HUGE increase for me!

I also take a packet of supplements 2 times a day before breakfast and lunch or breakfast and dinner– A multi-vitamin, fish oil, Antioxidant, Cinnamon, & Milk Thistle.

I’ve exercised for 30 minutes 3 of the 4 days! WOOT! Had one day off. The challenge calls for 30 minutes of exercise 6 days a week. Or as my sister calls it, 15 minutes of exercise 2 times a day.  There’s no weighing, measuring, or counting points! For me, right now, that’s what is best for me! The meals really taste great. They’re real foods, with lean proteins, good carbs, fruits, and vegetables!

I eat 5 small meals a day eating every 2.5 to 3.5 hours.  The meals are pre-portioned. It works great for me.  I just go to my meal plan, see what’s for today’s breakfast, heat it up or eat it cold, and enjoy! It’s beautiful!

I’m really loving these changes and the challenge! It’s exactly what I needed, when I needed it the most!

*The most challenging of the challenge (ha!) will be when i’m in Louisiana this weekend! There will be lots of temptations from the food and alcohol fronts.  I’m going to do my dang best to avoid those temptations, and be prepared to say no to them! GO BRITT GO!

So THANKFUL for the support from my friends and family to be able to kick start the challenge & make these changes that I need to make. ONE DAY AT A TIME. BE ME. Be the best that I can be.
