Whenever I've gone full-on veg, I have ended up hospitalized over it. But then again, I don't think I could go with all the fats either--80s girl here too. I love how you are modifying it fit your needs/preferences. That's the best part--room for everyone! No one way to do anything in life, pretty much!<br />But the workout plan sounds really interesting, and I love your enthusiasm over it. Can't wait to hear your results!!Elle Seeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01700861489513811406noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36253142.post-6389993746230047322016-08-24T14:42:57.043-04:002016-08-24T14:42:57.043-04:00Ooh good luck!

I have definitely gained a lot of weight since college - in the last 4 years.... and I have definitely adopted some bad habits.... so I am trying to work on them a little at a time. We are rarely home, so I have to do what I can as far as cooking at home more, etc. Some weeks are better than others... and to be honest I am not committing as much as I should be... but I have got to keep from pushing too hard. I'm also battling anxiety, a bad job, and trying to tackle other goals this year. This is super inspiring though, so I hope I can channel it and think about some possible ways to make more little changes this weekend and next week. It's all about the baby steps for me with so much on my plate! Keep working girl, awesome progress!!! :) XO - Alexandra<br /><br /><a href="http://simplyalexandramyfavoritethings.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">Simply Alexandra: My Favorite Things</a>Simply Alexandra // My Favorite Thingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10005714012822874818noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36253142.post-55612795004617724502016-08-23T22:09:56.188-04:002016-08-23T22:09:56.188-04:00Keep persevering Rebecca! <3 It is worth the ...Keep persevering Rebecca! <3 It is worth the journey; don't be too hard on yourself; God has a wondrous plan for His child.

She just sends out videos everyday telling you what to eat? Is there an exercise program with it? If you're not gonna follow her eating plan, what's the point? And I don't like what she says about eating meat either. She's so behind the times!<br />I have no doubt you can reach your goal by the end of the year!!From Ice Cream to Marathonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05911974408263254818noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36253142.post-40159905726600200482016-08-23T14:39:27.078-04:002016-08-23T14:39:27.078-04:00I just ... no.

It wasn't really a diet - I had gestational diabetes with both pregnancies and had to eat high fat/high protein to make up for low carbs along with the insulin shots. I couldn't keep it up though and as soon as everything went back to normal, my eating habits went wonky again. I do try to add more healthy fats into my diet now -- avocado all day long and I'm adding coconut oil to my morning coffee (blend and it's frothy like a latte) but I'm also trying to cut out the animal fats and get my protein more from plant sources. It's doable without harming animals! Good luck and keep us posted!Elizabeth - No Lazy Dayshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11850346132248360959noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36253142.post-34044625698493630892016-08-23T14:09:29.016-04:002016-08-23T14:09:29.016-04:00I am excited to see how it goes.

No sweet tooth...just carb cravings. Once I get my head wrapped around it, I can do it. Keep telling us about your success and perhaps it will be the motivation I need to start again!

You're a role model for people that want to be fit but live a different lifestyle than the athletes and celebrities that adhere to strict costly plans.

I try to eat less carbs and more protein. It's very hard :). I've been trying to reduce my bread intake, though, and if a meal doesn't have a good source of protein I will find something else. I've had to really change my way of thinking about food, lately.Jesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01470414853177693058noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36253142.post-52736718559301882152016-08-23T08:19:26.121-04:002016-08-23T08:19:26.121-04:00That's weird to me in this day and age that pe...That's weird to me in this day and age that people can still think your body NEEDS animal protein.

Especially when you see fat/calories of things like nuts! But they are good for you :) While I am not a vegetarian, I never understood how people could say things like it kills me to see you not eating meat. Ummmm we each have our own views on things and I respect that. Good luck on your next 21 days! I am sure you can rock it!
