21 Day Fix Fall Meal Plan

This week I'm sharing my Meal Plan with you!  This meal plan is based of the 1200 - 1499 Calorie Range for the 21 Day Fix Plan.  I am turning 31 this Month and am determined to push myself to complete the full 21 Days of the 21 Day Fix Extreme workouts and 21 Day Fix Meal plan!  I got this!

I use my 21 Day Fix Tally Sheet that I created which makes our meal planning so much easier!  

You can just print it off and either slide it into a page protector so that you can write each days meal plan out or you can print off 5 and write down each days on the paper.  I personally like to have each day pre-written down so I have 5 page protectors so that I can reuse them but still have my days planned in advance.  

Last night I did my first 21 Day Fix Extreme workout of this round, starting with Leg Day, and I also tried the new Energize product from the Beachbody Performance line to give me the extra energy and power to push hard through the whole workout!  I've never used any type of pre-workout product before but this one is made with natural ingredients and No artificial colors, flavors, sweeteners, or preservatives. So I gave it a try and I can tell you that I certainly felt the Tingle I've heard people talk about and I certainly was able to push myself harder and for longer.  Energize contains beta-alanine, which can create a mild tingling on the skin for some people. This response is perfectly normal and is not cause for alarm, feels kind of cool actually! Most people don’t notice it once they start working out, and neither did I!   I'm looking forward to seeing my results at the end of these 21 days!  

I also used the Recharge Nighttime Formula to help with muscle Soreness after the workout it helps to combat exercise-induced muscle soreness, and promote new muscle growth while you sleep. I got this to try last month but haven't been doing as extreme of workouts lately so I haven't had a reason to try it out. One of the Key ingredients in Recharge is Tart Cherry, this anthocyanin-rich tart cherry extract is shown to help reduce exercise-induced muscle soreness and improve recovery after intense exercise, both for endurance and resistance training. 

The funny thing was I was totally expecting it to taste nasty but it was like drinking a not too sweet Cotton Candy Milk Shake!  YUM!!  And I woke up this morning with only the slightest of stiffness and no soreness so I'm gonna say it works pretty well!!
