FINALLY! The moment I have been waiting for, 21 day fix EXTREME! I literally could not wait to get my hands on this program so I ordered it first thing Feb 2nd knowing that I couldn't start it until Feb 16th! But, it's here, i'm prepared, and I am so excited to share my journey with you all!
As always there are steps to take when starting a new program:
1. I am reading the eating plan from top to bottom! I am understanding the container system and determining how it's going to fit into not only my life, but my husbands.
2. Next I am creating my actual meal plan. This is something I like to do weekly since I do my grocery shopping weekly. I grocery shop weekly to ensure my items stay fresh! I buy only what I need based on my meal plan, which also ends up being a huge savings for our family. Prepping is just as good for your wallet as it is for your body :)
3. After my meal plan is completed, my grocery list is set, and I am off to the store to get what I need for the entire week! I am usually right around $100 dollars a week. Granted that is for me and my husband, 5-6 meals a day each. Approx $1.30 a meal, can't beat it! I never understand how people say eating healthy is expensive!
4. When I get home from the grocery store, I am immediately prepping for my week. My meal plan is super simple and consists of the same few items for breakfast, lunch, and snacks so the easier I can make that on me, the better! Breakfast is prepped because I'm starving when I wake and by the time my pup gets her morning walk and I get a work out in, I am ready to eat! Having breakfast already prepared makes it super simple for my schedule.
5. Prep is over! Super simple, did I mention Sunday dinners are EASY because my few hours in the kitchen consist of prepping. I'll usually go for a crockpot meal or something requiring not much effort so dinner is cooking while I am prepping.
6. Pictures and measurements are taken. Regardless of what your goals are, this is the best way to see your results in my opinion. Always a win win. Best way to see progress!
7. SCHEDULING my workouts. Yep, I said it. I have a set time in written in my planner for my workouts every day. These are set as a business meeting, that I cannot miss. Planning is key, remember that. Find what works and stick to it. For me, it's AM workouts. I am way to lazy in the evenings, so getting up 30 minutes earlier is totally worth it to me!
8. I am familiar with equipment I need, and have been working out at home for one year now. So I'm set there. Always check and make sure you are prepared equipment wise.
That's about it!!
Attached, as promised, is a copy of what my meal plan looks like this week! Nothing elaborate. We are super easy over here. I'm just excited to completely dial in so I can see the best results possible!
So recap. I am printing my meal plan and posting it on my fridge, along with prepping:
Veggie Egg Cups:
Turkey meatballs:
Sweet tooth 21 DF extreme options:
In addition, I'll have my veggies chopped, my eggs boiled, the rice cooked and that's about it. Most of our meals are super easy, and I have time in the evenings to cook, so I don't prep dinner to much.
Here's a look at a few more items we will be cookin up this week! Keep checking back for recipes to be posted!
