21 Day Fix Extreme Week 3 - Round 1 DONE!

Better late than never, right?!!  So last Sunday I officially completed Week 3 of the 21 Day Fix Extreme.  Week1 and Week 2 went great and I pulled through with a strong finish on week 3! I truly enjoyed the entire program and am even doing another round with the Countdown to Competition plan (which I will be sharing)!  

Throughout the 3 weeks I really stuck with basic meal plans. EVERY 21 Day Fix Extreme recipe that I tried from the book was FANTASTIC!  I have since incorporated many of the meals/snacks into my weekly plans. 

Below is my Week 3 plan!

Shakeology

One meal that I always look forward to is, of course, my Shakeology! I really can't think of a better meal to begin the day with!  I actually found that since doing the 21 Day Fix Extreme I was a bit hungrier than usual, so, there were nights that I added in an extra green container, or a 1/2 serving of Shakeology!  Shakeology has also been my saving grace on busy mornings.  I don't know about you, but I tend to have NO extra time in the mornings.  In the past I would just pop a big bagel in the toaster, put some butter on it and take it in the car with me.  IF I had the time, I'd sometimes do a big bowl of sugary cereal instead.  I've come a long way since then and my mornings haven't really gotten any less busy!  It seriously takes me 2 minutes or less to make my shake and go! I know you may be thinking, I don't want to spend the money on shakes.  I have to ask though, what do YOU eat for breakfast?  Do you tend to hit up a McDonald's or Dunkin Donuts drive-thru?  Or for lunch do you order out or purchase from a work cafe, etc?  How much are you spending on these meals?  Did you know you can get Shakeology for as little as $3.88 per day?  PLUS, it is a complete meal replacement so there is no other planning needed for that particular meal.  I'd also like to note the fact that you  are getting natural ingredients that provides you with your daily dose of nutrients, combined with over 70 super foods!  It really doesn't get any healthier. 

ANYWAYS....as usual, each month I have a handful of people who are concerned about eating 'boring' meals or even starving themselves while on the 21 Day Fix or 21 Day Fix Extreme.  I think my meal plan is proof enough that that is not the case; however, here are a couple of other examples. I tried out some Turkey Meatloaf while on Week 3 and it was really good!!  I paired it with some veggies and quinoa a viola! 

Another great example is a staple in our house.  Flank Steak with 21 Day Fix Southwestern Seasoning, grilled peppers, green beans, and a sweet potato.  Trust me, I'm FAR from starving! 

The workouts are going great as well!!  This program has 7 thirty minute workouts (Plyo Fix Extreme, Upper Fix Extreme, Lower Fix Extreme, Pilates Fix Extreme, Cardio Fix Extreme, Dirty 30 Extreme, and of course Yoga Fix Extreme). My favorite is definitely Dirty 30 Extreme!  I increased my weights this time around and definitely noticed a difference. I burned more calories throughout the workouts and the biggest change I have noticed is in my arms.

I'm also a fan of Pilates Fix Extreme, although I do feel like I am twisting like a pretzel with the resistance band!  It's definitely effective! All jokes aside though,  the program is definitely worth it. Yes, it takes hard work to be healthy.  Yes, it's easier to just be overweight, unhealthy, and eat whatever the heck you want; however, that could not only lead to health problems on down the road, but it also doesn't do much for self confidence.  Wouldn't you like to feel good, have energy, minimal sicknesses, and an overall positive healthy life?
