21 Day Fix Extreme - Week 2

After a great week 1 - I am very excited to start week 2!!! Continuing the Countdown to Competition diet!

Day 8 - Back to Plyo - First time, I thought I was going to vomit, this time - I felt strong and I did so much better!!! Having a little bit of an issue with all the "reds" which for me is chicken, chicken and more chicken!

Day 9 - Upper Focus Extreme - Every 2 days, I get a break from the competition meal plan and get to switch back to the extreme - hello cheese and fruit and an extra carb!!! YAY!!!

Day 10 - Pilates on Crack! I did so much better this week as opposed to last week - I accredit it to LISTENING to Autumn, listen to what she is telling you - how much your arm should bend, or about band placement - I still have a lot of work to do in the pilates and resistance band department though!

Day 11: Leg DAY - amazing the difference a week makes - feeling strong! Great burn and sweat!

Day 12 - Extreme Cardio and Flex Friday! Switching it up on my flex Friday - seeing a lot of definition in my back and shoulders! Extreme Cardio was hard for me today, I was up for 35 hours. After caring for my kids, then working a 12 hour night shift as a nurse, then taking care of my kids all day again - it was very hard to push play.... I almost backed out, took a nap and called it a day- but I couldn't, I knew my accountability partner and my challenge group was waiting for my accountability post - so I pushed play, and felt as energized as ever!

 

Day 13 - Dirty 30 and 10 min hardcore abs

I love Dirty 30, because I love moving iron! Added an additional ab workout, which felt amazing - I would say I still have a lot of work to do in that department!

Two new meals from this week:

Chicken wraps!



My side, all measured out and fix approved - his side, not so much!

 

1.2 Pounds lost this week! Which makes 4.8 pounds in 14 days! My goal is 7 pounds by day 21 - ekkk gotta push hard this week!
