Working out on The Fix as a fat kid

Good. Lord. Y'all. As you all know, the Bearded Wonder and I have been doing the 21 Day Fix (henceforth known as "The Fix"). It' a program that combines portion control, healthy eating habits, and working out. The working out part is no joke. It's only 30 minutes a day, but it's still 7 days of working out. They mix it up though, so you're not just doing pushups every.single.day. I'd probably stab my eyes out if that were the case.

He said he's feeling pretty good and his stomach is feeling good (TMI, but we both have intermittent tummy issues). I'm feeling faboo! I don't feel uncomfortable in my skin, my stomach feels much more settled (amazing what happens when you stop eating crap, amiright ?). Also, I've noticed that I don't feel sluggish or exhausted all the time. So good.  That's all for now! I'll update soon on the workouts- pinky promise. =)  xo A Redhead
