I am trying the 21 day fix program starting this week.  I have already been doing the workouts, but the meal plan is tricky as I love cheese and on this plan, we are only alotted one serving per day, so that means my "cheese meals" will be skimpy and the hardest part... avocado falls into the same category.  So, we'll see how long I actually last on this plan.
