So this past week I was extremely excited to start a new program. I think I was just really wanting something new, something challenging, and something that I knew would get me in spring/summer shape, and get rid of those last 10 pounds for good.
So, I started 21 Day Fix Extreme with a test group. There are 7 of us total that braved this new program together. We've been supporting each other, helping each other, and posting about our challenges and our triumphs!
First week down and I got the hang of the containers again and writing out the meal plan. Here's a sample of what I was eating for lunch last week. Balsamic Steak salad! This tasted amazing!!! Could have had it all week! Yummy!
So after my meal plan was all set, the groceries were all set, shakeology all stocked, all there was to do was wake up Monday morning and get my workout on! I was nervous, (scared actually) about how hard this was going to be. But it's fun when its something completely NEW!
My hubby joined me for the first part of the week so we were able to do it together. His work schedule got a bit off kilter so he'll jump in when he can. What a great guy eh!
The workouts were awesome! I think I was ready for a change, a challenge. Yes, some mornings were EXTREMELY hard to get up. BUT I had to keep my focus in mind, and I really do enjoy getting it done and out of the way first thing in the morning. Even though some mornings look like this:
Each day has a different workout, which I love because then it switches up daily and you don't get bored.
Having a different workout each day also gives different areas of the body a rest because trust me, we were SORE!
The schedule we follow looks like this:
- Monday - PLYO Fix Extreme
- Tuesday - Upper Fix Extreme
- Wednesday - Pilates Fix Extreme
- Thursday - Lower Fix Extreme
- Friday - Cardio Fix Extreme (I dreaded this all week)
- Saturday - Dirty Thirty Extreme
- Sunday - Yoga extreme (ahhhhh well deserved)
Which one was my favourite?
Do I have to pick one because they were all tough lol.
Favourite one was probably Dirty 30 on Saturday. I enjoyed that one in the original program too. Just a nice overall body toning workout. Get in, get out on the busy weekends.
What's my plan going into week #2??
Just Survive!! Be able to walk!
No really, my struggle is always food. So that's why I have my meals planned and lunches prepped in advance sometimes so there's no room to get sidetracked or tempted.
My goals for this week is to stay on track with my meal plan, drink my shake daily, and get in the 30 minute workouts done each day.
OH, and as much as I dislike going before photos I did those too last Sunday before Day #1
I just have to keep my "after" photos in mind! Only 21 days right?, we can do this!
Can't wait to see where the end of week #2 takes the test group!
