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!!
*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!!

As I reach the 30 week mark of my pregnancy I sat here reflecting this past weekend about my two pregnancies and how they've been SO very different. Not so much in the stereotypical "one was a boy one is a girl" difference but in the way I have PERSONALLY made them different. You often hear women tell stories of gaining 50+ pounds during pregnancy or say things like "well the baby wants it" or "I'm eating for two after all" and that couldn't be further from the truth!! YES ~ there are absolutely some women who just naturally gain a lot even while being healthy. But the eating for two myth is crossing into scary waters.
With my first pregnancy I walked on the treadmill for a couple weeks and ate healthy for the most part. I managed to gain only 32 pounds which is great, but it was the POST baby that was the problem. I knew nothing about nutrition and completely stopped working out. My body was not prepared to shed the weight, in fact it held on to it for almost an entire year!!! My son was 8 months old and I was still wearing maternity pants. I was sad, depressed, hid from pictures and avoided all social situations like the plague.
I knew with this second pregnancy I was going to go into it having a game plan and continue to strengthen my body DURING the pregnancy so that after will be a little easier. Between my two pregnancies I was able to successfully lose 50 pounds, then SURPRISE!!! Baby #2!! I'm not gonna lie it has been hard to see the scale go back up but I've stopped weighing and started just doing what I know is right. I have been following the 21 Day Fix program and I feel a million times better. The funny thing is that I've already met that 32 pound weight gain this time, but I look smaller, I weigh less and I feel strong! So how am I doing it?
I continue to follow the 21 Day Fix meal plan (with my doctors approval) and in fact for the most part I stay in the same calorie range I was in before I got pregnant. If I'm more hungry I have an extra snack of fruit and nuts or veggies and hummus or hard boiled eggs but always staying within the programs guidelines. I love how this program is NOT about starvation, counting calories or depriving yourself of certain food groups. And that it IS about eating a well balanced diet, incorporating correct portion sizes and following a clean eating lifestyle. PLUS I get to enjoy my chocolate Shakeology every day fueling both myself AND baby with a daily dose of nutrition!!
I am also following the 21 Day Fix workouts as well. I was able to do them 100% until about the end of the second trimester and now its a bit more modified. Its harder to push up the same weight when I have an additional 30 pounds on my body too. I feel very strongly about listening to my body and not trying to push it too far.
So with 10 weeks remaining, I will continue to follow the 21 Day Fix meal plans, follow the modified workouts and start transitioning into walking as the big day gets closer!!
If YOU are pregnant, thinking about getting pregnant or are a new mommy thinking about doing the 21 Day Fix I would LOVE to chat with you!! Of course its a must you talk to your doctor too but I just LOVE to share my journey with everyone and share how you can make this a simple lifestyle change while keeping both you and baby healthy!!
