7 months later...

I signed up, with my family, to run, walk, or hike (or elliptical) 2015 miles in 2015. In the month on January I made 14/31 days which ended up being 20.26 miles. I have also decided to work on my eating habits. I, like most Americans, have a problem with portion control. I can sit down and easily eat half a box of pasta, or half of a medium pizza (or a whole one if I am really hungry!). I am going to complete the 21 day fix food plan in the hopes that it will help me to understand appropriate portions. If you don't know about this program, it is a product of beach body. There are lists of foods you can eat (which is not super exclusive as that is not the point of the program) and containers that are colored and go with each food group. Once you figure out how many calories you need to eat a day you can find how many of each container you are supposed to eat. Then you fill up the appropriate container with a food from the list and if it fits in the container you can eat it. They have recipes as well and you don't really cut any foods out, you just limit foods that may be bad for you. I am not going to use the exercise videos that go with it right away as I need to get in the habit of working out every day first. So for the first week I am going to focus on waking up on time, following my routines, and running. I am hopefully optimistic that this plan will work as there is not a restriction on what food you can eat just how much you can eat. I am hoping to use this for more than three weeks as I want to make a lifestyle change not go on a diet.
