What Is a Rest Week?

I am taking this week as a rest week between rounds of 21 Day Fix.  Yesterday, I finished day #21 of my second full round, so I have decided that instead of jumping back into another 21 days I will take a week off between them.  This works out pretty well for me because it means I can do one round of 21 Day Fix each month without getting burnt out or feeling like it's never going to end.

So here's a look at how this week will be different from a typical week on 21 Day Fix:

• Instead of measuring my food in the colored containers I will continue to eat from the list of "allowed" foods but not worry as much about measuring every serving.  
• Instead of tracking my containers on the 21 Day Fix app I will eat sensible amounts of food.  I plan on eating when I'm hungry and stopping when I'm full.
• Instead of completing the 21 Day Fix workouts each day I will be doing different routines so that I can get some variety from the ones I've been doing for the last three weeks.  I will be using the Beachbody OnDemand feature to check out other workout programs to see which other ones I like.  
• Instead of allowing myself one treat meal on Friday night I will be more flexible with the foods I eat and will have a special meal if I have been craving it for the last few weeks...without going overboard, of course.

My overall plan for this rest week is to use common sense in choosing which foods to eat but also giving myself a break from writing down everything I eat.  I will also experiment with new workouts so that I can try different programs I haven't tried yet.  I'll keep some notes from this week and let you know how it goes and if I plan to do anything differently after my next round of 21 Day Fix.
