I'll be honest, it's not my favorite program. I am such a cardio junkie!! But I can definitely tell it is working muscles that I have never worked before! And I am getting stronger for sure. I can now do push ups on my toes as opposed to only on my knees! I can do about 4 regular pushups on my toes now before dropping to my knees. This was a goal of mine from back in April when I first started my new health and fitness Journey and I am so glad that I have met that goal!
The last few weeks I have been feeling my nutrition going down the drain.... I was trying to follow the nutrition guide from ChaLEAN Extreme. But it's basically a calorie counting program, with an emphasis on low fat or low carb at various phases in the program (burn phase, push phase, and lean phase) After doing the 21 Day Fix nutrition plan for so long, I had a hard time going back to calorie counting! So I decided to use my new cookbook Fixate and create a 21 Day Fix meal plan for this week to use with my ChaLEAN Extreme fitness plan!
Here is my meal plan for this week.
One part of this plan that you don't see is my "activities" section on this spreadsheet. One of the things I HAVE to do when meal planning is consult my calendar and see what I have going on during the week. That way I can take into account the days where we are leaving the house early so I won't have time to cook oatmeal or pancakes for breakfast. Or we will be grocery shopping one day which might mean less time available to cook dinner than normal. I have found this to be crucial in my meal planning so that I am more likely to stick to the plan!
Tonight I will be making a new recipe for tomato sauce, out of my Fixate cookbook. I hope to take some pics and share the recipe with you later this week! This tomato sauce is the basis for several of my recipes that I plan to cook this week, and it takes about 90 minutes to make so Sunday is a good day to prep for it!
