Beautiful Weekend, SundayWorkout, and 21 Day Fix Prep Week

Happy Sunday, everyone! I hope everyone has had a great weekend so far! Saturday for me was really nice. I took a day away from normal church service to recharge and spend some time in the sun and nature with God. It was very refreshing and definitely recharging. I thank Him for allowing us to be stationed in such a beautiful place where I can just go hang out on the beach for a few hours. Most weeks I just feel overwhelmed with the business of life. It's constantly go, go go everyday and I just needed some time away to talk to Him. It was very much needed. Especially with my upcoming move... Life will be even busier than normal for the next month while we're anticipating and getting ready for the move. So for now I'm taking all the time that I can to have downtime. Lol.

This morning I got in a great workout with my girls! I love my Sunday workouts. Not only is it nice to start the day of with a nice outdoor sweat session, but it's always nice to see my chicks. Love those girls!

Now I'm spending a few cleaning the house ams making my list for my Sunday meal-prep! This week will be prep week for the 21 Day Fix Extreme. Even though I don't technically start the program until next Monday, I'm going to follow the meal plan this week so that I have a week to tweak things before I jump into it on the 2nd. I'm super excited for this new program! I have seen some amazing results through Max 30! But, let's be real, I would have seen even better results of my nutrition would have been on point 100% of the time! So I'm going to do this 100% right and I'm excited to see the results. I'm most scared about giving up my Quest bars for the next month. Y'all know I love those things. I do plan on doing at least weekly blog updates while I'm on the plan, hopefully even more frequent than that, so be on the lookout for that! Alright, list is done.... off to shop!

21 Day Fix Extreme is here!!!

Happy Sunday, everyone!

It's been a really great day today. Started my morning off right with a great workout in the park.

Went grocery shopping with the hubby and grabbed some lunch AND some Menchie's while we were out! (I looooove frozen yogurt) And then came home and watched "The Croods". That was a really cute movie. I know it's been out forever; but I don't see a lot of movies out there. Lol. Movies that have been out for like a year are new releases to me.

Another great thing that happened this weekend is that I received my 21 Day Fix Extreme package in the mail! I am overly-excited for this program because of what I've read and the results that I've seen within my coach group as well as with people who I know personally. This program is great because it truly incorporates nutrition and exercise into one program.

Overview of what came in my box:

The Containers:

This will be what I use to build my meals each day for the 21 Days. Based on my current weight and my goals I'll be able to fill them a certain number of time with the corresponding food. When I look at them, they do seem a little bit small, but I've seen them filled with food and they actually fit quite a bit of food inside of them. So instead of counting calories and weighing, during this 21 Days, if it fits within the corresponding container and that container is allotted to me during the day, then I can eat it. My Fitness Pal will be very lonely during this time. Haha.

The DVDs:

These two DVDs will give me my workouts each day for the duration of the 21 Days. Each day has a different workout and each workout is intense! For me personally, on the day where the workout schedule calls for Extreme Fix Yoga, I'll be using that as a rest day or doing something different because I don't do yoga for personal reasons. Other than that workout though, I plan on following the workouts completely. It's really great too because each workout is only 30 minutes long! So just like with Max 30, it'll be easy to fit it into my schedule!

The Eating Plans:

The 21 Day Fix Extreme is a really cool plan because it kind of "ups the anty" if you will to the regular 21 Day Fix. On the extreme plan, there is no treats or cheats allowed at all during the 21 Days; where with the first 21 Day Fix, Autumn had a couple of treats written into the program. And, with the Extreme, she also gives you her "Countdown to Competition" eating plan, which shows you exactly what she eats to prepare for a bikini competition show. Clearly that meal plan will be even MORE intense than the Extreme eating plan. I haven't yet decided whether I will attempt this one or not. I know for sure I will do the Extreme eating plan for the full 21 days, but I'll have to figure out whether I want to incorporate the Countdown to Competition into my first go at the 21 Day Fix. Maybe my last week.... We'll see..... So you get two eating guides, the 21 Day Fix Extreme eating guide (which I don't have pictured here), and the Countdown to Competition. 

Extra:

I got another Shakeo cup! Super excited about that because I sometimes forget mine at home. So this one I will keep at work. I love my cup! It's big enough to hold all of my shake that I make. Depending on how much ice I put in it, sometimes it ends up making more than a standard 12-oz cup can hold. So this was an exciting extra that was added to the package.

So I am pretty darn excited about this program. I'm still in the midst of Insanity Max 30, which I'm still LOVING!! As soon as that completes, this one will kick off. I'm excited to see the results that are coming with the Insanity Max 30 and even more excited to see what will happen with this program. What I'm trying to do with my body right now (cut fat and lean out) is really accomplished through mostly nutrition, so I'm hoping that this will really take it to the next level for me! Thankfully I have some awesome challengers who will be joining me on this journey. 

I am definitely looking for even more challengers, so if you're interested in coming along on this 21 day journey, let me know and I'll send you the info. For the month of February, both the regular 21 Day Fix as well as this new 21 Day Fix Extreme are on special, so you can take advantage of either program.
