Memorial Day Weight Loss Challenge - 21 Day Fix Style

Ok ladies!! The weather is warming up, the shorts are in the stores and the bikinis are lining the racks!! Are YOU ready!?!?!? I know I'm not...4 weeks post partum and I have some  work to do!! But I need YOU...I need some MAJOR accountability if I want to see some pretty good results by Memorial Day and I want to help you get them too!!

I'm by no means an expert with this program but I have had a pretty great transformation last year and I'm ready to do it again. I feel very comfortable using the containers in a way that I can whip up a family friendly dinner of Chicken Fried Rice or Chicken Enchiladas so that we can keep the family happy AND keep ourselves on track! I PROMISE this is NOT going to be a boring meal plan!

I was going to wait to start my next group in May but then I realized that if we start April 27th (NEXT WEEK) that we will have AMAZING results by Memorial Day!! So what do you say? Lets kick off the Summer right and be able to enjoy some treats for the holiday weekend!!! Oh yah...I'll be giving you lots of recipes too so you can healthy, 21 Day Fix friendly option too!

BUT I'm ONLY taking 10 women to join me this round. I want to be able to check in with each and every person and have a small group vibe....so don't wait!!

So how do we get started???

If you're SERIOUSLY interested in joining me on this journey to lose 10-15 pounds in the next 21 Days then here are the requirements:

1.  You are required to have ME as your COACH through Team Beachbody.

 

2.  Then together WE pick a fitness program that fits your needs. Either the 21 Day Fix or 21 Day Fix Extreme

 3.  You are REQUIRED to replace 1 meal a day with Shakeology ONLY for the duration of the group. Once it is over you can decide if you have enough healthy recipes in your pocket to prepare meals without needing Shakeology or if you find it’s convenient and it takes care of 1 meal you can keep going!  Yes, 3 years later my husband and I drink Shakeology daily!

 4.  Then, it is required that you participate in the online closed group daily.  Each day I will share a tip, recipe, motivation or recipe.  We will address everything from emotional eating to staying on track during the holidays.    You check in, rate your day and get your inspiration for the next 24 hours.  We all keep each other accountable.  You can log in whenever you want. 

I will be there for you during the good times and the tough times!   My job is to see you through from start to finish and help you succeed at changing your lifestyle.  I will share with you the recipes that my family loves along with the quick easy recipes that don't take a lot of prep

We will start our plan and prep week on April 27th.  That means we will “clean house”!!   Set our goals, give you recipes, a meal plan outline and suggestions and together we will start working out the following MONDAY!

Valentines Day - 21 Day Fix Style

So I know that when we hear the word Valentine's day our mind INSTANTLY goes to big boxes of chocolates, candy conversation hearts, heart shaped cookies. cupcakes and MORE!! I can't even begin to list all of the goodies that were greeting me as I walked into the grocery store this week. Not to mention the bottles of wine, champagne and dinners out that many of us attend to celebrate our love for one another.

But WAIT just one minute!! Yes all that stuff is fun, fun to splurge, fun to love on each other but I think I heard on the news this week something about "Valentines WEEK"!! WHAT???? Since when did this Halmark holiday turn into an ENTIRE WEEK??? I don't mean to be the Scrooge on this holiday full of LOVE but if we are turning these celebrations into a week long event  that can do some serious damage to our waist lines and goals!!

Now I'm NOT saying don't splurge, don't have fun or don't celebrate that special someone....absolutely DO that!! But lets just keep things in perspective! Lets plan out our days and clean it up where we can!! If you're going out for a fancy dinner lets clean up brunch and snack so we stay on track through the day!

What is the 21 Day Fix Extreme?

 

So if you follow my blog, (duh who doesn't?!?! JUST KIDDING...but you SHOULD in that upper right corner right there!!) You know that I did the 21 Day Fix program earlier this year and fell in LOVE. I have pretty much made it my way of life as far as how I eat, what I eat and my fail proof portion control system. I have gotten awesome results and I have really found my SOUL MATE WORKOUT!! Autumn has made this so simple with easy to follow meal planning guidelines and short, effective 30 minutes workouts. I honestly never thought it could get better than this....UNTIL NOW!!

Coming February 2nd 2015 we will be introduced to the 21 Day Fix EXTREME!!! What the heck is that you ask?!?!? Well its her fast approach to portion control and fitness to lose weight in a short amount of time. This round will take intensity, guts and drive to deliver even MORE amazing results!

When this program comes out I will be 8 months pregnant so I am ABSOLUTELY looking forward to this as my post baby workout. I have done several rounds of the 21 Day Fix, I still follow the meal plan to this day, 33 weeks pregnant, and it has helped me to have the most healthy, happy pregnancy. I can't wait to take it to the NEXT level!! I will be having an EXCLUSIVE Test group for any woman interested in this program. I will also be taking my current accountability group curriculum and taking IT to the NEXT LEVEL to match the intensity of this program. Think new recipes, new daily challenges and lots of FUN!!

Extreme fitness + Simple Nutrition = Extreme Results

Who is this program for?

*This program is for people who have done other extreme fitness programs and are ready for the next level

*This program is for 21 Day Fix graduates.

*This program is for athletes

*This program is for anyone who has an event to attend in a short amount of time and wants to get amazing results in 21 days!! 

What are the workouts?

*There will be 7 different workouts to keep our bodies guessing, getting that shredded, ripped physique. 

*They will be 30 minute workouts combining steady-state aerobics, resistance training, and explosive power moves that target every muscle in the body-to help you get shredded in a short amount of time. There will still be a modifier to follow the whole way through so you can start at your own level.
** All workouts except Yoga Fix Extreme will require weights. You can get these pretty reasonably at your local Target or Wal-Mart.

What is the meal plan?

You will get your color coded, portion controlled containers and you will get meal planning guides INCLUDING Autumn's very own 21 Day Countdown to Competition plan. You can follow exactly what she eats, down to a T. 

Whats different from the first 21 Day Fix program is that the EXTREME version does not allow for wine or chocolate. Honestly when I did the Fix the first time I didn't drink alcohol at all and I think I may have had 1 or 2 Fix approved treats with chocolate chips but I totally could have passed it up. I just wanted to try some of the tasty recipes. I also did not eat out for the 21 days. I wanted to prove to myself that I was capable of doing anything I set my mind to for 21 Days and if you checked out my results above I'd say it was totally worth it!

Heck any plan where I can eat chili, meatloaf and enchiladas WHILE staying on plan is all right by me!!
