As part of the recent of 21 Day Fix Extreme test group, we were asked to choose from two different eating plans: Extreme or Countdown to Competition. I am an all or nothin’ kind of girl, so I chose Countdown to Competition. I wanted to push myself, both physically and mentally. And truly, so much of staying committed to this style of eating is all about mindset. I wanted to see what I could do in a short amount of time, nutrition was my ticket.
And as a sidenote, I believe that your nutrition is 100% of the equation. Not 70%, not 80%. What you eat affects everything you do and allows your body to either work for you or against you.
Now, I am no figure competitor … so moms, it’s okay. This program is for you, too. I’m a mom of two boys. I’m involved in their sports. We go to church. I run a thriving business from our home. You can nail a competition prep with this program and look like a competitor without actually having to strut your stuff on a stage … but hey, having gone through a competition prep, I wouldn’t blame you if the stage calls your name!
Here’s another confession, I don’t really like to cook (I know, gasp!). Shhhhh, don’t tell! I prefer to keep my food simple, which seems boring to some. I’m a creature of habit and I like what I like, ha! It works for me and I make adjustments for my family. For these reasons, the Countdown to Competition plan was very doable, I just had to be on my meal planning A-game.
Throughout the test group process, I learned a lot about nutrition and meal prepping in general. And since I’m not a big cook, I made this quick video to show you an example of how EASY it is to prep all of your meals ahead of time. So quick and simple!
The program was released on February 2nd, so I’m finally free to share all about the meal plans and workouts that have been consistently kickin’ my booty since the fall. Additional 21 Day Fix and 21 Day Fix Extreme meal planning resources, printables and tips can be found here.
