Guys.

I’ve been hanging out in Maintenance for a few years now after doing two rounds of the 21 Day Fix to lose that baby weight.  If you aren’t quite in maintenance yet, it’s honestly really hard.  Almost harder than the actual round of the FIX because you don’t have that goal anymore…and you feel like you can indulge more.  And then you start to track less.  You eyeball portions.  You don’t listen to your body and how you are feeling.

And soon, it’s Fall and your skinny jeans are just a little more, well, skinny than you remember.

Hopefully this isn’t your story, but…confession…it is mine.

So I started a full round of the FIX this past week and I feel amazing.  And I’m also back to the art of hoarding all my yellows.  Since I backwards plan and think about my dinners first, I love having no yellow dinners to allow more flexibility in my day (read: wine)

As it turns out, this plan is also perfect for people following the 2B Mindset...or, let’s face it, anyone who likes to eat period, because they are as delicious as they are healthy. Just sayin’

Enjoy!
