21 Day Fix Extreme is Here - Meal Plan and Prep

It's about to get Real - 21 Day Fix Extreme is HERE! 

I just got my 21 Day Fix Extreme in the mail YESTERDAY and I was STOKED that I got it before Monday. That means it's time for some MEAL PREPPING straight out of the nutrition plan that comes with the program. I want to create a plan that fits for me and my lifestyle, that's the beauty of this. You are given a guide line and then create what works for you. I am 100% committed to completing two rounds of this program before leaving for Cancun in April, on a trip that was earned through Team Beachbody. AHHH, I know this program is going to give me the results i'm looking to get to fit in that itty bitty bikini and feel AWESOME!

So I am READY to start Monday. I spent the entire morning planning everything out so that I could give this my all. I printed out the 21 Day Fix Tracking Sheets from the Team Beachbody Website, www.teambeachbody.com. These totally get me through the day and keep me on track. I also know there are tons of 21 day fix apps that you can download from the app store. I am just a paper and pen person. It works for me and totally keeps me 100% on track. 

To create my menu plan I use an excel spreadsheet that I created, I fill in my workouts and my meals and stick this baby on the fridge so it takes the guess work out of the entire week. Sundays are my day to evaluate the fridge and head to the store to get the things needed for the week. I like to be prepared for the week and have exactly what I need for each recipe and meal. It's the only way to prep for success. If not it will be too easy to just settle with something off the menu plan and get totally off track. It's frustrating so take that little bit of time to plan. 

My 21 Day Fix Extreme Meal Plan - Based on Category 1 

This week i'm sticking with the 21 Day Fix Extreme meal plan. There is also an option to follow Autumns Bikini Comp plan, but I think i'll start off with getting to know the program, getting my allotments in check, and really giving it all with this nutrition plan. I have been having one too many extras lately and i'm ready to lock it in tight before getting too crazy :) OF COURSE a good crazy. Crazy = AWESOME RESULTS!

The first week is always a bit more difficult because you are getting use to the moves, the new meal plan, and it just takes a little bit to get it right. I'm not going to beat myself up, just do my best and know that the more I do it the easier it will get. Week TWO is always better because you are getting use to the routine. 

I'm taking my before pictures today. It honestly is the only way to really get a good measurement of your success because the scale lies. I've learned this through my own personal journey and watching others journey. If you don't feel like you are getting anywhere with the scale compare your measurements and pictures. I bet you will see a difference. Another way I like to measure success is by a pair of jeans that is tight or too small. I will try them on weekly and see how they feel. That's actually one of the best feelings when they start getting loose. 

If you are starting a new workout routine or just want to start on the path of clean eating I encourage you to start doing a weekly meal plan. I really preach this in my challenge groups. It's easy to get off track if you don't have a plan. With out it being written down you could forget what's on your meal plan, not have the things you need in the house, and will most likely be making bad choices because you will let yourself get so hungry you don't care what you eat, you just want to EAT! I know i get like this. I have to have a plan or I will just eat whatever is close at the time. If you are SERIOUS about getting results, make a meal plan NOW! 

THE WORKOUTS: 

You do need a set of light weights, a set of heavy weights, and a resistance band. 

I personally use 5 lb ,  8 lb, and 10 lb weights. You will be using the resistance band many times in this program so you want to make sure you have one. They aren't very much and you can get them pretty much anywhere. Walmart, Academy, and Target for sure. 

I have my GAME FACE ON and I'm totally ready to bring it!!! 

The Fix Extreme is all about NO TREATS OR CHEATS! This is the REAL DEAL PEEPS! If you want to look SMOKING for an EVENT or Vacation this is it! If you have those last 10 pounds to loose. this will get you there. It's always the hardest getting rid of that last bit. I know this is where the MONEY is at. Going EXTREME is the only way to get those abs popping and that booty smoking. It's hard to keep those results forever but if you have something coming up this is PERFECT and then you can go in maintenance mode and hop back on when you want it again. This can TOTALLY BE DONE! Team Beachbody has coaches like me to ENSURE you get those results you want. To provide you with the support, daily motivation, accountability, and daily tips to get you from start to finish.

What is The 21 Day Fix Extreme?

What is the 21 Day Fix? Click Here for Application

Exactly ONE year ago the #1 program in all of Team Beachbody was launched with a brand new trainer and creator of the program, Autumn Calabrese. I knew that this program was GENIUS the moment I heard all about it. The program sold out multiple times and they couldn't get it created fast enough and on the selves before it was sold out again. I mean who wouldn't want a no brainer program that comes with 30 minute workouts that work your entire body from head to toe as well as an easy to follow nutrition guide that comes with portion control containers!??! The answer is EVERYONE and the results that came along with this program were AWESOMESAUCE! AMAZING and all in 21 days. The 21 Day Fix will always be the #1 program I promote and offer to my customers.

This program was exactly what I needed to get to the next level and reach the results that I always had in mind. The portion control containers and nutrition guide was exactly what changed EVERYTHING FOR ME! I always worked out daily and ate clean but I didn't always have my portions correct or was getting the right amount of each food group. With the 21 Day Fix, you are given a list of approved foods for each container with the most nutritious foods listed at the top all the way down to the foods that offer the lowest nutritional value in that food group.

This program is LEGIT ... I still use the nutrition plan TODAY no matter what workout program I'm doing. It has seriously changed my life and hundreds of other challengers of mine who have amazing results. I am PROOF that this program is the REAL DEAL!

So by now after a year most of us have done several rounds of the 21 Day Fix and are ready for the NEXT LEVEL. Ready to really bring it. Even if you haven't done the Original 21 Day Fix and are just ready to give it all you got and get in KILLER SHAPE over the next 21 days .. This program is for you. It even comes with Autumn's Bikini Computer plan and exactly what she does to get in Tip Top Shape. I am so EXCITED about the launch of this new program. I already have mine ordered and on it's way. The program JUST came out so you have the chance to be one of the FIRST to try this program and get results. This program is available to anyone who has a Team Beachbody Coach (and if you don't already have one ... You can make ME YOUR COACH) 

The 21 Day Fix Extreme is going to help you create AMAZING RESULTS in a short amount of time and of course in a healthy way. We are talking TONING your entire body, more muscle, definition, really bucking down on your nutrition, and advanced moves. This workout program is designed to get you absolutely shredded! 

Who should buy the program?

21 Day Fix EXTREME is ideal for those with a dramatic short-term weight loss deadline--such as an upcoming vacation, photo shoot, or other big event. It's an excellent next step for 21 Day Fix graduates ready for a new challenge or graduates of other extreme programs like P90X, Insanity, and FOCUS T25.Fix EXTREME is also great for those who don't have much weight to lose, but want to get shredded and see abs; those with a "no BS" attitude toward workouts and nutrition; or anyone who doesn't want to count calories, weigh  their food, or follow complicated recipes. I would not recommend the 21 Day Fix Extreme for a beginner. This is an advanced program.  Autumn did talk about that when she was in  Pittsburgh for our event last weekend.  So I want to make sure that you know  to do the 21 day fix FIRST before moving to this program! So what are the details? The program is 21 days long! You do 1 30 minute workout each day. You do not need a lot of space to do this workout.  A 6 square foot area is all that you need. What type of shoes do you need?  Cross Trainers or aerobic shoes are necessary. The workouts include:   Plyo Fix Extreme, Upper Fix Extreme, Lower Fix Extreme, Pilates Fix Extreme, Cardio Fix Extreme, Dirty 30 Fix Extreme  and Yoga Fix Extreme. There will be a bonus workout that you get for ordering through a coach plus there is also additional workouts that you can purchase also. Power strength extreme and ABC Extreme.               What are the workouts all about?? Plyo Fix Extreme  An explosive lower-body workout that uses jumping and resistance to torch calories and sculpt muscles.  Upper Fix Extreme  By alternating opposing muscle groups, this no-rest upper-body workout will shred the chest, back,  shoulders, and arms.  Pilates Fix Extreme  Using a resistance band for every exercise, this intense mat workout works the entire body, placing  emphasis on the core.  Lower Fix Extreme  Glutes, quads, hamstrings, and calves will get stronger, leaner, and more defined with 30 minutes of challenging resistance work.  Cardio Fix Extreme  Combining weighted cardio moves with traditional metabolic training intervals keeps the heart rate soaring.  Dirty 30 Extreme  Using only seven compound moves focusing on multiple body parts at a time, this workout will burn extra calories while defining muscles. Get down and dirty, and get it done.  Yoga Fix Extreme  A fast-paced flow yoga class, combining strength, balance, flexibility, and power.  Power Strength Extreme  Based on functional movement patterns, these nine total-body exercises will change the way the  body moves, increasing strength, endurance, and power. ABC Extreme  A 30-minute workout that targets common problem areas by pushing abs, butt, and cardio to  the extreme.  It'll get that competition body ready for the stage. The Fix Challenge  Keep things interesting and burn off calories with this quick resistance workout!           Lets talk nutrition plan! While the 21 day fix allowed for wine and chocolate the 21 Day fix extreme does  not.  It is 100% clean eating for these 21 days.  You do have the option to eat out at restaurants but you still have to follow the nutritional guidelines laid out.  Just think about it this way!  You can do anything you put your mind to for 21 days. I can say from previous experience with Insanity Max 30 that when I followed  the nutrition plan to the T I really got amazing results.  I have never had abs  before and they were popping out!  I really do attribute a lot of my progress to  nutrition.  So make sure to take this part extremely serious. You will get the 21 day fix portion controlled containers with your program  purchase!  21 Day Fix Extreme Results Plus I am going to be hosting an EXCLUSIVE 21 Day Fix Extreme TEST Group where I will be mentoring you through the program, teaching you how to navigate the nutrition plan, create a meal plan, prep, give you snack ideas, recipes, and tips.  Plus you will get daily videos, motivation and accountability right from me in a closed online group!!!  Our goal is to set realistic and achievable goals and to go 100% in for 21 days to achieve the very best results we can achieve!!!  Does this sound like something you would like to do?  If so, complete the application below to be considered for a spot in my exclusive test group!!!! This program JUST launched on February 2nd. If you complete the application  I will give you the details of my group!  What are you waiting for??  Summer isn't that far away, imagine what you can accomplish in 21  days but really imagine the possibilities if you made this a lifestyle  change!  Ummm.... total transformation by June! It could really happen!  Let me help you make it a reality!!!

Healthy Vacation Tips

Vacation time means RELAXING TIME!! I get so many people coming up to me asking for tips to stay on track through out their vacation. Of course you want to enjoy yourself but you want to find that healthy balance so you aren't coming back 5 pounds heavier, undoing your hard work, bloated, and back to square one. That's why I believe in HEALTHY lifestyles instead of DIETS> Find your perfect balance and over time it will get easier.

So over the last few years I've learned a few things that have totally made it easier to go on vacation and still live my health life. I no longer have to stress about not having any healthy eats and totally going off the band wagon. I want to help you make your next trip as stress free as possible! Vacation can still be FUN even if you are eating healthier! It really is all in the mindset. Changing the way that we think so that our full focus isn't on the foods we eat but on the people we are with.

1.  Resist the urge to splurge.  When we eat out we tend to tell ourselves that this is our cheat meal for the week.  So we order things we typically wouldn't eat!  These foods are higher in calories and fat and usually are WAY higher than we could ever anticipate.  The other factor is that even the act of eating out is going to cost your more calories than when you eat at home. This is because most restaurants do not cook clean. They use high fat oils, butters and sauces to achieve flavor that blows your mind.  Even when you order grilled chicken, steamed veggies and a baked potato most likely the chicken has a marinate, the veggies are in butter or oil and the potato possibly comes smothered with butter.  Also restaurants tend to serve us with larger portions and we eat it.  This is as opposed to cooking at home and measuring out the correct portion size.  So what can you do to combat this restaurant nightmare?

Order an appetizer as a meal.

Order a half size portion

Split your food with someone else.

Box up 1/2 of your meal right away before it ever even hits the table.

Stick to water and enjoy the company you are with!

2.  Enjoy the scenery and sample the food.  While on vacation most likely it is a place that you enjoy going and that has lots to see and do!  Instead scheduling your trip around which restaurants you want to go to focus on the things you are going to do there!  For example, bike riding, hiking, snorkling, kayaking, long walks on the beach, massages and yoga classes.  Sure when you hit up a nice restaurant and see a dessert that completely blows your mind you should sample it vs gorge yourself in it.  Ask for someone else to split it with you and just do a little bit!  

3.  Use exercise as your secret weapon.  When you go on vacation you don't have to pack up all your DVDs or weights but you should find creative ways to get in your daily exercise.  Walking to and from the pool bar is not going to cut it!  Instead walk to the restaurant instead of drive.  Take an after dinner walk on the beach.  Rent bikes and ride to breakfast each morning. Have a family fun day of volleyball or wave surfing!  Swim laps at the pool and do anything you can to stay active.

4.  Better Choices on the menu.  Make healthful choices that appeal to you at fast food and restaurants whenever possible. Why is it important to order more healthful choices only if they appeal to you? Because if they don't, you're going to feel like you are depriving yourself and resent it.

Sometimes you can make a fast food or restaurant choice instantly better just by ordering it with a different condiment or sauce (say, Dijon mustard instead of mayonnaise, or marinara sauce instead of a white sauce).

5.  Water is your friend.  Keep all systems going by drinking your daily water requirement. Traveling can dehydrate you, and so can being out in the sun more than your body is used to. If you can, stock your car, backpack, or hotel room with ice-cold bottles of water. Bring water everywhere you go.

I always hit up the local grocery store wherever I go and buy a case of water.  I also take my refillable water bottle with me and always keep it full of water!  If your mouth is dry then you are already past the point of thirst!  Plus staying hydrated also is going to keep hunger at bay!  

6.  Eat When You're Hungry and Stop When You're Comfortable- It sounds simple, but many of us have gotten out of the habit of paying attention to whether we're truly, physically hungry. Eating opportunities and celebrations are all around us when we are vacationing, and we're in the "I'm on VACATION!" mindset. That's when we will be the most vulnerable to eating even if we aren't hungry and not stopping when we are comfortable.

7.  Pack healthy snacks- This is one of the easiest things to do!  A lot of times we think oh I can find an apple and almonds anywhere! Then the gas station you stop at doesn't have apples and the almonds are salted!  You are right back to square one again!  So how do you combat that?  The answer is easy.  You pack healthy snacks in a cooler and you don't leave it up to chance.  You can't control everything while you are on vacation but the things that you can control you absolutely should!

I always pack:

Apples because they travel well.

Unsalted raw almonds and I portion them into little baggies with 14 in a bag.

Shakeology Packets- yes you can take them on the airplane

Shaker Cup

Bottled Water

1/2 cup oatmeal measured out in a ziploc bag with 1/2 c raisins.

Lara Bars- Very clean snack.

baby carrots and individual hummus cups

I have a great little 31 cooler that I take everywhere with me! It travels well and believe me no body questions what I have!  Most of the times it gives other people ideas for how to pack healthy snacks!  Also, the little hamilton Beach mini blender travels so well!  It's quiet, it has the twist and go cup and it fits perfectly in your luggage!  This gives you the best tasting shakeology ever!!!!

8. Go Easy on the Alcohol- It's easy to get carried away with the drinks on vacation but they also pack on the calories pretty quickly!  It's really hard to track how much you ingested as the drinks flow!  Plus you can get dehydrated pretty quickly!  So my rule of thumb is 1 glass of water for every alcoholic drink.  I also tend to stick to soda water and vodka with a splash of lemon, lime or strawberries! It's low cal and still is refreshing with the bubbly!!!  

Vodka Soda Water- Low Cal Drinks

9.  I always lay out my plan ahead of time!  I know when I am getting my workout in.  If I don't feel comfortable working out at the hotel or at someone's house I ask them if we can go for a run or try out a class at their local gym.  You never know who you seek to inspire by your healthy habits!  

Also, it is YOUR vacation!  Don't ever ever let anyone make you feel guilty for sticking to your healthy habits!  I mean who has the right to tell you, "It's vacation, you should enjoy it!"  Seriously, I enjoy my vacation eating my fruit and yogurt!  I honestly have no problem at all when I take things in moderation.  Vacation is supposed to be fun and I want to have the energy to enjoy it!  So I am going to stick to my guns on the things that are important to me!  Having dessert 5 nights out of the week is not going to make me feel good.  Instead after each meal I am going to regret my decision and by the end of the week I am not even going to want to put on a bathing suit.  That to me is not fun!  I don't want to come home from vacation and have to start at square 1!  I own my body, my emotions and my decisions.  I don't feel guilty for eating healthy, its actually what we should do!  I will tell you that while on vacation I will enjoy my wine and cocktails and I will enjoy some ice cream.  Those are the things I like.  The rest I will forget! I pick and choose what's important to me!  That's the balance between the two!

Fear of Failure

Enjoy your vacation!! I will be on vacation September 10th - 30th to go back to the mainland for my Brother in Laws Wedding. So you can follow me on my Facebook to see how I stay on track!! :)

Piyo Week 6 - Meal Plan and Progress Update

Happy Monday!

It's time to get back on track! I've totally been slacking these last few weeks with getting in my workouts and giving my all. So here I am starting FRESH with Week 6 and giving this week my all! My meals will be prepped and ready to go and I know that I'm going to crush this. But even though I totally feel off track and like i'm slacking in the food and workout department I've been getting compliments that I look thinner!! YAY! That's always a win.

Sometimes I put so much work in to my challengers a coaches that I put myself on the back burner. TISK TISK - SO this week i'm MAKING SURE that I give myself that time because I know it's important. I preach all the time about having that "ME" time so time to practice what I Preach!

Piyo Sweat has to be one of my favorite workouts because just like it says I SWEAT!! Love a good sweat session. It shows me that It's WORKING! Of course getting new workout clothes always motivates me too. This is a new workout outfit from TJ MAXX - My all time favorite place to shop for my workout gear. Cheap, name brand, and cute! Reward yourself with new workout clothes every time you reach a goal.

I got most of my things to prep for the week but need to go to the grocery story and grab a few things. My husband worked yesterday so this week is a PREP MONDAY! However, I did have my Shakeolgoy for Breakfast and Greek Yogurt for a snack and getting ready to have my salad for lunch. 

Totally going in full force prep mode - Maybe i'll share some pictures with you guys in my next blog post :) 

I know that prepping can be a struggle for a lot of people. It's hard to know exactly what to eat, when to eat it, what to pair it with, and how much to eat. I totally want to help you take the thinking out of it and just DO IT! It really is quite easy once you get the hang of it. 

I've taught my challengers well. Below is a picture of my once challenger now COACH Brooke showing off her Meal Prep!! This is the same way I do it weekly! 

Fish

Chicken Breast

Lean Ground Turkey

Steamed Veggies

21 Day Fix Grocery List

I am SO in love with the 21 Day Fix Meal plan!! It's my new go to guide when it comes to meal planning each week. I really love the WHOLE PROGRAM! I truly feel like it was GENIUS! 

I love the containers

I love how they are color coded for each food group 

I love that you know exactly how much to eat of each food with out even TRYING

No calorie counting

No guessing

I love the workouts

I love that they are short

I love that they work the entire body

So .. that MIGHT sum it up ... but not really!! 

I mostly love that my challengers are FINALLY finding something that works and getting AMAZING results all while learning how to properly fuel their bodies. 

I have been following the fix meal plan for a month now and I can tell you that I don't even have to use the containers most days. I can pretty much eyeball how much of each food group I'm suppose to have. It's become a HABIT and something that I just do and follow. 

I love how I didn't really have to change much to the clean eating plan that I already follow but It really let me zero in on how many portions of each food group that I needed to have daily. I still have a complex carb and protein with every meal. 

When I head to the grocery store every week I pretty much have the same things on my list. No, they aren't always used for the same meals but normally the same ingredients are used and mixed around to make various meals. There are a list of foods that are approved on the 21 day fix and most of them are what I was already currently eating so it made things pretty simple. I can't tell you exactly what to buy but I can give you a good idea of what you should see in your cart each week. 

Proteins (RED)

Lean chicken breast

Pork Tenderloin

Flank steak

Eggs

Lean ground turkey

Salmon/Tilapia

Plain greek yogurt

Organic veggie burgers

Protein powder

Turkey Meat, Ham, and Turkey Bacon are on the list. I do enjoy Turkey bacon at least once a week with my breakfast but it's not something that I would include in your diet daily. It's higher in sodium and your body will retain water. So I try and stay away from these things. 

Healthy Fats (BLUE) 

Avocado (I love the mini wholly guacamole, perfect size for the blue container) 

Raw unsalted nuts (I like almonds and walnuts) 

All natural Peanut Butter

Hummus

Feta

Extra virgin olive oil

Coconut oil

I do have to say this is the category that I found I was eating way to much of. I really really love my peanut butter, hummus and avocado. I would eat all of these in one day and it was one of the main factors holding me back from progress. YES they are healthy but having to much of a good thing CAN hurt you. That's what I love about this plan. You can be a beginner or a pro clean eater but you are still going to learn something. I've eliminated a lot of dairy from my diet and i've noticed less bloating and stomach pains. 

Fruit (PURPLE)

Berries (my favorite strawberries, raspberries, and blueberries) 

Orange

Apple

Grapes

1/2 Banana 

Watermelon

Kiwi

Limes/Lemons for flavor in water or on fish. 

Try and watch your sugars when it comes to fruit. If you are really wanting to shed weight or only have a little bit to lose. Stay away from Grapes, Mangos, and Banana's. Those are higher in Sugar and Banana's are high in starch. This is a hard one for me because I love fruit but I promise the minute you make these small changes you will see those changes you have been wanting to see. Also try and have your fruits earlier in the day. 

Vegetables (GREEN)

Baby Spinach Leaves

Broccoli

Aspragus

Green beans

Carrots

Cucumbers

Tomatoes

Celery

Peppers 

Onions

Squash

No CORN is not a vegetable people!!! It's a STARCH! Stay away from it. 

Complex Carbs 

Yams or Sweet Potatoes 

Back Beans

Pinto Beans 

Quinoa 

Brown Rice

Rolled Oats (NOT INSTANT) 

Ezekiel Bread

Whole Wheat Tortilla

Brown Rice Cake 

Here are a list of things that I frequently use:

Chia seeds

Unsweetened vanilla almond milk

Mrs. Dash seasonings (salt free) 

Raw honey

Cinnamon

Garlic 

Seltzer Water 

Green tea

Clean Eating Meal Ideas - Clean Eating Made SIMPLE!

All the time I get people coming to me for ideas on what to have as snacks and breakfast that is clean and healthy. 

MOST of the time people are looking for breakfast ideas because of a few reasons. Ask your self which category you fit in? 

1. They Skip Breakfast and are looking for something quick to have. 

2. Don't have time to make breakfast in the morning so instead go through a drive through or grab donuts at the office. 

3. Aren't really sure what is healthy, clean, or good for you so they have cereal or pre packaged meals. 

So which one do you fit in!?!? Breakfast is the most important meal of the day, so seriously make sure you prep your breakfasts, wake up earlier to cook something, or invest in Shakeology. 

My favorite and what I recommend to all of my challengers for either Breakfast or Lunch!! Sometimes even DINNER! It's a nutrition, meal replacement, shake that is equal to over 7 trips to the salad bar but taste like desert!! 

Lunch on the go!! Leftovers

So here are my breakfast ideas! I hope this helps you when you are meal planning for the week!! It's so important to eat right when you wake up to rev up your metabolism and get your body burning calories. 

Here are my Breakfast Go To's : 

At lunch time I normally keep it pretty simple. I'll eat something left over from the night before. 

You can check out my clean eating recipes for dinner ideas. 

I also like to have salads with a lean protein for something quick

A lot of people only eat 3 meals a day IF THAT! I have to tell you that you can just as much hurt your self by eating too much by not eating enough. Part of the reason you might not be losing weight but eating healthy is because you aren't eating enough. Snacks keep your metabolism going all day long to continue burning calories and building muscle. It also helps maintain your sugar levels and prevent you from overeating at meal time. 

I know that most offices keep a ton of goodies around and have vending machines but the biggest tip that I could give you is PACK YOUR MEALS AND SNACKS!! Stay away!!
