Week 1 - 21 Day Fix Extreme Weekly Progress Update

21 Day Fix Meal Planning


The 21 day fix extreme arrived a week into me starting the original. I didn't want to just quit what I was doing, so I committed to finishing what I started and I made a decision I would get to the extreme next. I loved the FIX and I loved the concept of focusing on portion control. But I can't lie I was itching to get started! I was ready to take my results and fitness to the next level. I studied the guide so I understood how the program was going to work and what my best approach would be. The best thing about this guide & workouts is you get to create it to how you want. It isn't a diet where you need to eat only what they are telling you. You have many different options - you can switch it up if you would like or you can keep the same meal plan for the week.

The night before I was to start I was giddy! I was so nervous and excited to start. On top of starting this new workout I was also starting a new career path. I was seriously a little kid in a candy store with everything happening. And with that in mind, I have not been getting up in the morning to workout, but I decided with the extreme I wanted to get up early because I didn't want to come home after work and do it. I have a little further drive and that would just give myself enough time to give myself excuses. They always say you must step outside of your comfort zone & make sacrifices.

It was time to get myself ready and tallied up for the week. Whatever works for you to keep tally of your containers works for you. I tend to use my whiteboard and erase when I add something in my lunch. Others like to use the 21 day fix tally sheets.

21 Day Fix Tally Sheet

 

Nutrition is key to see major results so spend a great amount of time in the kitchen. I know it may seem long and boring, but it will save you in the long run. And what is the point of working hard and giving all you got in your workouts if you are going to just throw it away with your nutrition.

 

Day 1 - Early Morning

 

 

The first week is always overwhelming. You aren't sure what the workouts are going to be like. You have to get to know different moves & get coordinated. I know when I start something new I get frustrated and I feel like I do not get a good workout in because I'm more focused on if I looked goofy or did I do it right. It's a new routine so give it time, don't get too discouraged with yourself because you are not alone!

 

Another part of the journey is taking your before measurements & pictures. Not everyone's favorite part but honestly you NEED to do this! I always tell my challengers to do it and you don't have to show anyone, keep them in a separate folder on your phone. Because you may not see or feel the results, but if you have those pictures you will see the program working by the end. Also, don't get upset if you don't like what you see or how you feel...this I honestly have learned from my own health & fitness journey that this is a lifestyle change. We have our good days and we have our bad days. There are days where we want to eat everything in sight and others where we stick on track 100%.  You are going to be awesome every single day ( I am still learning and struggling ) but you can choose to make a difference.

 

Here is the 21 Day Fix Extreme Schedule -

Monday - Plyo Extreme

Tuesday - Upper Fix Extreme

Wednesday - Pilates Fix Extreme

Thursday - Lower Body Fix Extreme

Friday - Cardio Extreme

Saturday - Dirty 30 Extreme

Sunday - Yoga  Extreme

Before I started the 21 day fix, I completed one of the hardest mental challenges in my life. But even though I finished a hard program, but anytime you switch it up you will be working different muscle groups. So every single workout has me sore in Places I didn't even know I had muscle groups for. But all you need to know is that if you are sore, it is working! No matter what you have to push past it. I have been struggling with getting out of bed before work. So, I decided when I started this new job, I was going to make new changes.  I told myself to get up and get moving, I felt so much better all week & honestly my mind was so clear. It's crazy to think what a good workout will do for your mood.

Warm Almond Butter Sauce Noodles with Chicken

I always feel like anytime I make a chicken recipe its pretty much the same thing. I use the same spices & recipes. I am always nervous to try something new, not like it, and then be hungry right after. Anyone with me??

As I was reading the newest clean eating magazine I cam across this recipe & it peeked my interest.

It serves about 8.

Cook 1 lb. of whole grain spaghetti. In medium saucepan, poach 2 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts with a pinch of sea salt and enough water to cover chicken. Bring to a boil then reduce to a simmer and cook, covered, until chicken is no,longer pink inside (about 10 minutes). Remove from heat, then drain water & strain chicken using a fork; set aside. In a small bowl whisk 1/2 cup natural almond butter, 1 1/2 tbsp reduced sodium soy sauce, 2 finely chopped garlic cloves, and 1/2 tsp peeled & grated ginger. Drain pasta; reserve 1 cup cooking liquid. Rinse pasta with cold water. Add reserve liquid to the almond butter sauce and mix well to combine. Ina large bowl, toss almond butter mixture with drained pasta. Add 1 cup fresh baby spinach, 1/2 cup purple cabbage, 1/2 cup green cabbage, shredded chicken, 2 thinly sliced scallions, a pinch of red pepper flakes, sea salt and fresh ground pepper to taste.

 

Holiday Survival Guide : tips to get through the holidays

Ahhhhh! The holidays are here! How do you get through them without gaining weight? Life is all about moderation, but sometimes we just need a little help to push us through.



 

Here are some times to help you through the holidays without letting yourself go, to MUCH...

1. Write down a game plan - come up with a schedule. Plan what workout program you will be doing and what times you will be working out. Plan out your meals. And set goals. 

2. Exercise - this kind of goes along with the first one. When you schedule your workouts your more than likely to do them. Even if you don't feel like working out, start with the first 5 minutes that's all I ask ..5 minutes and then see how you feel. 

3. Hydrate your body - drinking water is one of the most important things ever & yet most of us still don't drink enough. You should drink at least half your body weight in ounces. If you can do that easily than aim for more. If you struggle with it, find ways to make you drink more water. Add fruits, or put hair ties on your water bottle; when you finish drinking take a tie off. 

4. Meal Plan (and plan your cheat meals)- this will help you avoid spending unwanted money and eating foods you do not want to be eating.

5. Moderation is KEY- you can grandma's not so healthy potatoes or the sweet desserts staring you in the face. It is all about moderation. You have decide what you want and not over do it.
 

6. Accountability - make sure to hold yourself accountable. Come up with a plan, post it out on social media for all to see, tell your significant other, or get yourself in an accountability group. What's an accountability group? A closed facebook group where each day you check in and tell the group how you are doing, when you don't feel like working out, etc. You have people all have one goal in common and that is to get fit & healthy.
 

7. Enjoy yourself - Simple yet. The holidays are a time to relax, enjoy your family and friends, and remember to be grateful for everything you have.

Tell me this is not delish!!!

Tips for Grocery Shopping

 

To be honest grocery shopping was just one of those things where I never really liked. I never knew where anything was. I was one of those people who would just go in and roam every single aisle, fill my cart with what I thought I needed, and then wonder why my bill was high at the end of the day....with nothing in the cart.

Until I got the hang of it..... (I still don't like to go by myself)

How I got the hang of it.

1. Look for recipes/meal plan: Pinterest is my GO to place. Look for ideas on what you want for lunch/dinner. And meal plan it out, it seems very difficult & it was stressful at first for me. But what I found worked for me was that I had a calendar, write S-Sat on it. Plus what I was having, but what I found worked better was listing every ingredient I needed for that recipe. Then I would go through my fridge, pantry, etc and cross off what I have.

2. Stay on the outside aisle:  The outside aisle has your fresh fruits, fresh veggies, chicken, ground turkey, fish. The middle aisle is more of the high sodium and processed foods. The only time I step in the middle aisle is for brown rice, frosty paws (for Bubba), and cereal (for Eric)

3. Stick to your meal plan:  You made a meal plan for a reason. Stick to what is on your list. This will avoid getting unwanted, unhealthy things. Plus jacking your grocery bill up higher.

BONUS: WHAT TO DO AFTER FOOD SHOPPING

 

 

4. Meal Prep: It takes time, but it saves you a lot of time during the week. Bake off your chicken, cut up your fruit/veggies & package them, pre make your salads, salad dressing, and maybe a dinner so its done.

5. Stack everything in containers, put in the fridge/freezer, grab and go: This makes life so much easier. I can't tell you how many times when I come home from work I just do NOT want to worry about what I am having for lunch the next day and even making it. All I have to do is empty out my lunch box from that certain day, go in the fridge, grab all my containers I have cut, put them in the bag, & I'm finished.

No hassle.
No stress.
No worrying at 9pm (OH NO! I didn't pack my lunch)

Something simple.
Something easy.
And it makes life 100% better.

Reset Your Body

I told you I would give you the good, the bad, & the ugly.  And although I am on only day 3 ....yes day 3. It's best I'm upfront talking about my journey when it happens.

These past couple of days have been rough. Mentally rough that is, and I think it's because it is so structured and you do need to follow the plan pretty much to a T. Most beachbody programs you get the program & nutrition guide, but they are just new recipe ideas (you don't have to follow it) From the time I woke up on Sunday I was antsy, I delayed taking my supplements & waited til Eric got up. Then we did and ate breakfast and can you say headache. Not from the supplements or the food, but I really think it's from the no caffeine and I only drink one cup a day, but that's when it hit me...I WAS ADDICTED. 

Tip #1: slowly allow yourself to let go of coffee/pop/etc. 

Sunday I had a headache but did the best I could to tell myself do what you can. Luckily I got all my food prep done Saturday, which meant all I needed to do was grab and eat. 

Tip #2 : prep before hand (it will make your life ten times easier) 

                                    

I took a nap when I needed too and drank a ton of water. Water is KEY in this process, so make sure you are constantly drinking it. And I got myself to bed early to get my mind right for day two at work. 

My headache never left...and I didn't take anything because because you really shouldn't . So I just keep chugging  water. And then I would have to take bathroom breaks. But staring at a computer screen all day doesn't help. I was mentally exhausted, my eyes were so heavy. My game plan was to get home, pack lunches, get the furbabies situated and head to bed early. It was raining so no walk for the dog & no chasing birdies for the kitty. As soon as I sat down Dexy and I were zonked. We took a cat nap & I literally went to bed when it was still light out. Right after the first period of the pens game.... 

Tip #3 : listen to your body. Don't fight it, if you feel you need sleep. 

Update on Day 2

I slept from 8:30ish on and I moved towards the middle because Eric has a habit of falling asleep downstairs, so why not spread out? I woke up here and there. 1. Because Dexter got up a few times in the middle of the night to rub up closer to me, he nudged my face & we fell asleep but he doesn't like to stay in a position for long. And 2. I was getting hot upstairs and no air circulation.

On to day # 3..... Which they say day 3-4 are the hardest and I have to say I woke up with a slight headache, drank water and it was gone. My eyes are starting to hurt but nothing major.
 

**remember everybody is different. Your experience might not be like mine at all. Just because this is happening to me does not mean it will happen to you.**

I am not trying to scare you of this program. I think everyone should experience it once, but I did promise to keep you updated and I will do just that. 

If your reading this and currently on the reset, keep your head up...YOU CAN DO THIS!!! If your curious and have questions about it, email me: alyssayourish@gmail.com I'd love to answer anything and get you started!!!!

Til next time !!

Week 3 : 21 Day Fix Update and Progress

 

It takes 21 days to create a habit. Twenty-one days to make it part of your daily routine, your lifestyle, something you don't even have to think about. But if think of all the reasons why you can't do it. You don't have enough time. Your too busy. You are to tired and can't get up early before work or have to get things ready for the next day when you get home from work. Then you are truly making excuses and believing all the negativity.

 

STOP THE NEGATIVE TALK!

 

The only thing you need to listen to is the belief in yourself. If this is something you want to do, if you are ready to make the change. That is the only voice you need to listen to. Take that step believe in yourself and the rest will fall into place.

 

 

No matter what if you want the results you have to put in the work. The program is seven days a week but only thirty minute workouts. You have the time, you must schedule it in. NO EXCUSES. The third week you are given the option to do double up days to get max results. You don't have to it is totally your call. Here is what the schedule looks like for double days:

 

Day 15- Total Body Cardio Fix & Pilates Fix

Day 16- Upper Fix & Cardio Fix

Day 17- Lower Fix & 10-minute Fix for the Abs

Day 18- Pilates Fix & Total Body Cardio Fix

Day 19- Cardio Fix & Upper Fix

Day 20- Dirty 30 & Pilates Fix

Day 21- Yoga Fix

 

I started out with double days because I wanted to challenge myself a little bit. Honestly, I made it to Wednesday. I was spreading the workouts out...one in the morning before work and the other right when I got home. I was so so very hungry come night time doing doubles. I felt like I was working too hard and pushing myself to the extreme, so I stopped. You have to do what is right for you and listen to your body. But if you are going to do the doubles, I would highly suggest adding an extra protein into your meal plan. You will need it or you will just burn yourself out.

 

 

I used to hate lifting weights because I was always under the impression that girls who lift heavy will bulk up and look way out of proportion, but not the case. Ladies, lift weights if you have been putting it off for that one simple reason. You are not going to bulk up. I can promise you, that you will feel stronger, determined, want to push hard, and you will gain muscle BUT lean out. You may not see a difference right away and in the beginning when you start out, but I promise you if you stick with it you will be so unbelievably amazed at the process. I can say that because this picture shows something I have been working on for awhile. My legs have always been something I just never really liked, my thighs were just a little too big and I am starting to get a leg muscle pop. I love the mix of cardio and strength training together, it targets different areas all at once vs. targeting one muscle group.

 

 

 

I will keep saying it....the 21 Day Fix, you do not starve yourself. You are not eating like a rabbit. You are fueling your body and eating actually food. You are not following a diet plan and eating things that you do not like. Read over the book when you receive your package and plan out what you want to eat and when. Each color container has a list of foods to eat from best to not as good for you. Make different recipes, try new things, and if you aren't sure what something would be considered head over to the beachbody message board and type it in. Someone will get back to you and tell you what containers you should be using. It is as simple as that! All the guess work has been completed for you!

 

SIMPLE NUTRITION + SIMPLE EXERCISE = RAPID RESULTS

 

And you are in luck the 21 Day Fix Challenge Pack promotional price has been extended until tonight  at midnight. If you missed getting this program once, you do not want to miss it now, lose those last 10-15 lbs, learn about proper portion control and nutrition, and lean out. The results from my test group are starting to come in and I have never been blown away with results like these for three weeks....IT IS CRAZY!

 

 

Don't miss your chance to make the change. This program is for anyone. For someone who has never worked out a day in their life or for someone who is a fitness guru. This is designed for you! Struggle with what to eat and when to eat. This is designed for you! This is your last chance to sign up and get in my March 10th, Bikini Ready in March Group. Interested?

Week 2 Update Of The 21 Day Fix Update & Progress

Holy AMAZEBALLS can I just say!!!!!!

21 Day Fix

I can't even begin to tell you the feeling I have with this program. It has been an eye opener and I have learned so many things about myself and food. Let's face it, we all over eat and you have no idea you are doing it. We live in a word where we are always on the go and eating. And we eat until we fill full.

 

• I can't buy anything at the grocery store to keep at the house if I shouldn't eat it. I truly have a weakness for any "snack" food. No matter how hard I try and no matter how much I tell myself I should not have it. It always turns to an EPIC FAIL.
• Carbs are my BEST FRIEND! Shocked for sure that I'm a carbaholic, I always overloaded on the brown rice.
• Mindless snacking = 'FO SHO When I am just sitting around what did I do... I went into the kitchen to snack and mind you I wasn't even hungry. It was just me being bored and not getting enough water.
• I really have an addiction to my peanut butter.  
• The containers may seem small, but honestly you get so much food (see below) 

                                                                          

• Don't think 30 minutes is enough to see results? Give it a try : I DARE YOU!

• My upper is slowly getting to where I want to be ; but flexibility is still my weakness.
• ABS ARE MADE IN THE KITCHEN!!!!!!

 

 

I wasn't sure how the program was going to be but the first week I was all over the place with the moves. Which I usually tend to be a lost cause the first week, I'm tripping all over the place and trying to get the moves right. And I end up feeling like I have not even got a good work out in. But this week I felt like it was a total game changer. I worked up a sweat, upped my weights, and felt fantastic at the end of 30 minutes.

 

My exclusive test group is on week 2 right along with me. This is the first challenge group I am doing the program right along with them. They are kicking butt! I am so excited for them and I love that I am on the journey with them. They inspire me every single day and they are the reason why I get up every day.

 

 

If you are struggling to lose those last 10-15 lbs, hit a plateau, and you are just stuck. Instead of counting calorie and sticking to a liquid diet watch your portion control. Even though you have started to eat clean and change your lifestyle up, you can still over eat on the clean foods. You do not have to starve yourself to lose weight.

 

Honestly, for me going to work every single day it works best for me to cook/prep all my food on Sunday. And then keep it simple and eat the same things every day. Some people may call it boring but it is what works for me. I don't have to over think and I don't have to stress on what I am going to have the next day. Whatever works for you.... STICK TO IT!!!!

 

 

You are allowed (in my calorie intake) 2 teaspoons. If I don't have the veggie stir-fry that day I always save my teaspoons for after dinner with natural peanut butter. I know I have an addiction and I always use to put it in my Shakeology for breakfast, but I have completely stopped that. Because I learned the first day I was starving after dinner. And although peanut butter isn't a "meal" but it is a sweet treat and it gets me through the night. And my late night tea has been a life saver as well.

 

 

 I am 10 days into this program and it is just amazing that I am really beginning to see results. So are you thinking about the fix and you are nervous about doing a serious change? I promise you that is not what this program is. Let's talk, I will help answer any questions you may have. I will tell you what I think and everything I have gone through in this process. I won't sugar coat it, you are going to get the truth from me. Change is hard. And since you are use to "overeating" and you never really knew, it is going to be a little hard at first. It is going to be an adjustment, but once you really you don't need all that extra food, you are going to be okay. Progress is progress, but you are not going to see results after one day of working out and following the portion control. You don't gain 10 lbs from eating pizza one day.....right? Change is hard but it takes hard work and dedication. You have the power and the choice. You have to decide if this is something you want. But I promise you it will be worth it. You will feel so much better even after a week. Imagine what you will feel like after the program is over. It's three weeks, 21 days to create a habit. You can do this. I BELIEVE IN YOU!!!!

 

You have to have the WILL POWER and the DESIRE to change.

 

 

I am ready to kick week 3 in the BUTT and so excited to see my challengers results!!!!!

 

 

I am also excited to tell you that I am opening up another 21 Day Fix Test Group. I have been getting an unbelievable response on the first group, but because the challenge packs were on pre-order and they weren't shipping out right away not everyone was able to participate. So, I have officially set the date for March 10th. If you want to be considered please take a moment to fill out the challenge application below to be considered and I will get in contact as soon as possible. You don't want to wait, because spots are filling up fast!

The 21 Day Fix: Week 1 and Nutrition Plan

21 Day Fix

 

 

Holla!!! The 21 day fix has arrived and I could not be any more excited. I have been waiting for this program & I literally always check my tracking number about four times a day to see when it will arrive. As most of you know I was tracking my weekly progress with P90X3. I was on Week 6 when the fix showed up at my door step. And I made the decision to stop X3 all together and focus solely on the fix :

1. Because I wanted to be able to provide insight & information .

2. My challenge group was starting one week from the release date and this was the first time I would be doing it with my challengers.

3. I wanted to focus on one program to track my results

4. Plus I needed a good kick in the butt. I was working out but to be honest my eating really fell off track.

 

I promise to get back to my X3 once I finish with my awesome challengers. I will have a clear mind and really know how to crack down on my eating. This is not a starvation diet, you are eating REAL food and HEY if you want to have a glass of wine, you sure can do it!

 

I received my program the Friday after I ordered it and really sat down Saturday afternoon to really read and get to know what to expect. I am in the 1,200 to 1,499 calorie range! That gives me 3 green (veggies) 2 purple (fruits), 4 Red (protein) 2 Yellow (starchy carbs) 1 Blue (nuts, ect) 1 Orange (nuts and dressings) 2 spoons (nut butters, olive oil).   

This program is literally written out for you and there is no science for you to figure out. They have done all the hard work, all you have to do is figure out your calorie in take and which foods you are going to eat each day and when. There are separate pages of foods listed for each container. SEE WHAT I MEAN!!! It is literally that simple. Go to each page and make sure you know which food groups go into which container and what you can choose from. It also lists each food from most important (better for you) to the least important. You can choose the food listed at the bottom of the page, but those ones are just listed at the bottom because they are less
nutritious. But you also do not want to choose all the foods at the top, you want to choose a variety because you want to give your body a variety of those nutrients. You don't not have to eat out of each of those containers, just put it in your container and portion it up. Then I suggest you put your food on the plate and really visualize it. When putting your food in the containers, it really does not seem like a lot and you may think to yourself you might just be starving. BUT.....if you see you are still getting a TON of food and you are FULL.

 

Now, the plate up above is a little big, but it's the only one I had clean (have to do the dishes LOL). But this is 2 RED- shrimp & fish, 1 GREEN- veggie stir fry, 1 YELLOW- brown rice. This was plenty for me and I wasn't hungry after where I thought I needed to late night snack. This program is TOTALLY genius.  Are you a wineo? Yep, you sure can have a glass of wine. Wine = a yellow container, but you can only have it 3 times a week.

 

Want to go out to eat? There is a spot in the book where it gives you meals and pairs it with the containers you can substitute it out. But you have to decide if you want to do that and is it worth it. A sweet treat you can have one of those as well. Shakeology equals out to one red container.

 

I am a visual person so when it comes to tracking there are tracking sheets in the back of the book and you can also find them on the beachbody website. I noticed it really got difficult if you were not tracking everyday which color container. You have to find a way that is going to be easy for you and work.

 

 

 

Day 1 was not as bad as I thought it would be. I was just hungry, but you really do not realize how much through out the day that you mindless snack. It was an adjustment from eating way to many calories to really focusing on many I actually should be eating. But honestly, after that I have been fine. I really have been focusing on my water every time I feel like I am hungry, usually it is me just being dehydrated. Drinking your water is something you must do. I will tell you when I do not have enough water I start to get a headache. Of course you have those days where you really crave chocolate or even something as little as a pretzel, because let me tell you I love my pretzels. But I feel great, I have energy, and I do not feel bloated.

 

 

 

Let me just tell you, these workouts are not easy peasy. Autumn really knows how to kick your butt and make you sweat. (in a good way) annnnnnd make you feel sore for days and days after. Yes, these workouts are for everyone & anyone but add weights to the moves and you are working harder than anything else. There was not one day of workouts I did not like. I loved them all and I am completely obsessed with this program. And all that is needed is a light set of dumbbells or resistance band.

 

Monday - Total Cardio Fix

Tuesday - Upper Fix

Wednesday - Lower Fix

Thursday - Pilates

Friday - Cardio Fix

Saturday - Dirty 30

Sunday - Yoga

A weight loss program which is designed to give you nutrition guide with portion controlled containers, workout program, and the support & motivation from me as your coach!!

What is the 21 Day Fix??

No more guessing when it comes to weight loss. This is all about portion control with easy to follow workouts which anyone can tackle with their hectic schedules. Autumn Calabrese is the trainer, she is going to share her passion for health and fitness, while showing you the simple life choices which make all the difference and add up to life changing results.

Are you serious? This is AWESOME!!! And I can't wait for it to come out!! How many of you have been giving your all in your workouts & eating clean at least 80% of the time, but you feel like you are just stuck with the number on the scale. It could all be because of one simple thing and that is portion control. Even if you are eating healthy, you can still over eat on healthy foods. So, this is all designed to teach you just that!

This program is designed for everyone and don't worry you don't have to be a health & fitness nut to get through this.
