21 Day Fix - Day 0 - getting ready

So today I start the 21 Day Fix from Beachbody. The program is designed to help you jump start weight loss from a plateau, lose weight to help hit an event goal or really anything else you want to do to be healthy and fit. I have been sitting on the same plateau for a long time and my goals for the program are:


  1. Dial in my nutrition - nutrition is 80-90% of a fitness program and mine has not been what it should be.
  2. Break through my plateau. I have been bouncing around the same 5-10lbs for over a year, and it is time to leave those pounds behind for good!
  3. Create new habits to help me reach my long term health and fitness goals!
I will be updating this blog and my youtube channel regularly as I go through the program so follow me here, on Facebook or on instagram (@coachbeckycooper) for more details!

I am ready to change my life, my fitness, and my health - are you?

BUT...

As frequesnt readers (or at least as frequent as I post ;) ) will know I have been doing the Body Beast program from Beachbody. I am half-a$$ing round 2 currently waiting for a different program that comes out on Monday, but I follow a Facebook Page called Body Beast for Women and the creator of Body Beast Sagi Kalev. Along with being a super buff former Mr. Israel, Sagi is a sweet thoughtful person that shows he cares for the people that follow his program and need his help. Today he posted this question in the Body Beast for Women group.

"Good Sat ladies. I hope and wish you all an amazing weekend.
I do have a question for you all to think about and share with us.
How Often do you say the word BUT..... How often do you say No before knowing..... and then The BUT comes up... 
Whats holding you back from working on your dream and wishes?
I am looking forward reading your comments and write my answers to this question."


My response was this:

This is very thought provoking. I say it far too much, and I am slowing realizing it. I would eat better BUT it is too expensive. I would get in shape BUT I don't have time. I would do my workouts BUT I am too tired. I would go to the gym BUT I just don't want too. I would buy clothes that fit me and look good on me now BUT I want to lose weight first. BUT is holding me back from living my life.


BUT is holding us back. BUT is really fear. Fear that we cannot be perfect, we cannot live our lives, we cannot do the things we want to to achieve happiness, so we shouldn't even try. So my February goal is to stop letting BUT and FEAR hold me back from living my life and reaching my goals.

What is your BUT?
