21 Day Fix Extreme: Week 1 Review, Week 2 Meal Plan


I have just completed my first full week of the 21 Day Fix Extreme, and I am still pretty excited about it! I was coming off of 60 days or MAX:30 and lets just say I was having trouble during that program when it came to nutrition. I saw results, but not what I was hoping for with the holiday food, and traveling. 1 week into the fix extreme, and I can already see results, and I feel better!

The workouts are intense, but doable, and they use weights...just how I like them! If you thought pilates in the regular 21 Day Fix was tough, wait until you try pilates extreme! We tried out the bonus dvd that came in the fix this week at fit club, and lets just say by the end we were dying!!

I have been diligent with my meal planning, and prep, so this week was easy to stick to my plan! Without the meal plan, I would be in the same boat that I was in last week, so make a plan! 


I started testing out some of the recipes, and there were definitely some highlights! The egg muffins are easy to make, and awesome for an easy to grab snack, the meat loaf was really good and I was feeling full and fulfilled after eating it! It was good to have a clean eating recipe for meatloaf that I can now share with my mom (I love her meatloaf, but can't eat it).

Also, every 3rd day I tried out the countdown to competition plan, and it wasn't bad at all! I will admit I am not a huge cod fan, so I mostly replaced the cod with egg whites, but I wasn't feel hungry on those days, and I think it helped with my progress. 


Now onto week 2! I already made my meal plan, did my food shopping and prepped. I even tried the Cashew N' Oats Hotcakes recipe this morning, and was very pleased! They totally satisfied my pancake craving! Recipes to come...

Recipe Thursday: Fall Detox Vegetable Soup

Image
I am a Boston girl born and raised but honestly I am cold more often than not. For that reason as soon as summer ends I start to get sad and panic about how I am going to keep myself warm all winter. One way that works for me is to make a lot of warm soups so that I can warm myself up from the inside out!  When I posted the choices for this week's Recipe Thursday , the concern over the word "detox" was thoroughly entertaining. Trust me, I get it. In the past, the word detox meant spending an entire day in the....well you get the point. As I came to learn more about nutrition I began to understand that "detox" does not mean that you will not be able to leave your house for days, all it means is that you are cleansing your body of toxins in a healthy way.  I kid, I kid...my point is that the Fall Vegetable Detox Soup was the winner this week and eating it does not mean that you will have to cancel your plans for the day. I found this soup reci

Anthony Kiedis: Over 50 and Red Hot

Image
When Anthony Kiedis from the Red Hot Chili Peppers came on stage Sunday night the first thing that came to my mind was, "damn, he looks good". The second thing was, "I wonder how old he is". So obviously I went right to google and did some research. The information I found went above and beyond what I was expecting to learn. Anthony is 51 years old. He is a dad of a 5 year old boy who is named after his favorite band, his godfather was Sonny Bono, and he was voted sexiest male vegan by PETA. Because he seems so fit and healthy, it surprised me to learn that Anthony had actually been an avid drug user and heroin addict in the past. He even contracted the hepatitis C virus from his experimentation. He was addicted to some bad things, that were draining his life. These days instead of shooting heroin, Kiedis is addicted to things that are actually good for him. He focuses on his health, fitness, and family. Although I wasn't in as deep as Anthony, I
