![]() ![]() Make sure you have a water bottle – it is my best friend now. Water – I drink at LEAST 5 24 oz bottles of water per day (this does not include coffee, Recover or Energize).Purple foods I typically eat are: Banana (1/2 =1 purple!), apples, grapes, berries.Yellow foods I typically eat are: Sweet Potatoes, Oatmeal, Brown Rice and Ezekiel Bread.I stick to Green and Red for dinner, typically. This would also explain why MOST of my dinner recipes do NOT have yellows. Yellow and Purple Containers – Yes, you still get these! I have found that if I eat all of my yellow and purple containers in the first half of my day, I feel better at bed time and I wake up feeling leaner each day – I try to eat all of these by 4pm.Accountability is KEY with this program – having someone or a group of people doing the program along side you makes it so much more FUN! This was in addition to the accountability/challenge group we were in – just a smaller chat window that we would talk in. It helped when one of us had a question about the program or wanted to share a success/failure. Get a Success Partner – Find someone to do the program with you! I had a group of 3 friends who I checked in daily with during my first round.Join an Accountability/Challenge Group – If you are working with a coach, as him/her if they have a challenge group starting soon that you can get in on! Challenge groups are awesome! Why? Because it is a group of people coming together from all over the continent to do the same program along side you! You can share tips, swap recipes, encourage each other and it is a wonderful resource for you to use if you have questions, want to share about your successes or if you are seeking advice.When I know what my containers are going to be for dinner, I will adjust accordingly through out the day. I usually have the same thing for breakfast (eggs and oatmeal, yes please!) and my Shakeology for lunch. For me, I plan out my dinners for the week and fill in my other containers where they are needed through out the day. Planning – Yup – you still need to do some meal planning and prep.With a 1/2 FROZEN banana blended in – heaven in a glass – seriously. No treats on Extreme means I am going to get my chocolate fix through super food nutrition! Sorry vanilla, you just don’t cut it for me in these 3 weeks – though I do still love you. My happy-shake must be chocolate and it must happen every day. I need to have my sweet fix, otherwise, I will likely turn into mom-zilla. Chocolate Shakeology – This one is a GAME-CHANGER.Here are some of my tips to help you succeed! When I commit to doing a 21 Day round, I go all in. I want to pass along some tips I use to take on the 21 Day Fix Extreme challenge. Do I know how to fix it, yes! This program has taught me so much about how to fuel my body and the correct formula my body needs to accomplish my goals! I only WISH this program had been available when I was struggling with my body image back in Jr High, High School and College…such is life, I have it available to me now and the fact that I can look at a photo of me at age 16 and a photo of me at 31 and say WOW, shows me this IS possible – with a little work! □ ![]() I made a commitment to myself that (now) goes beyond losing the baby weight – and I am sticking to it! Am I perfect all of the time, nope. My numbers at the Doctors office confirm my health has improved and why? Because I am consistent with my daily workouts, I eat clean, healthy foods 90% of the time and I drink my Shakeology every day. I am more confident in my skin, I smile more, I am HAPPIER and I feel GOOD. My body has never looked better – after 2 kids, I am in a smaller size pants than I have ever worn and I am in the best shape of my life – physically and emotionally. I LOVE this program and it truly does WORK – but you also will need to make a commitment to yourself and to the program for the 3 weeks (and beyond!) if you are wanting to see some awesome results! Change comes from effort – you have to work for it! I have been doing the 21 Day Fix Extreme since last February when it launched. So you are ready to take the next step in your fitness and health journey and tackle the 21 Day Fix Extreme?! That is SO exciting! Congrats! It is always smart to change it up, push yourself and keep your body guessing! I love the 21 Day Fix, but I was in need of more of a challenge - this was the perfect ‘next step’ in my journey. ![]()
