Day 3 & 4...Extreme Fail

I apologize for not posting my Day 3 & 4 reviews! This mama came down with a sickness and I am still fighting it off as we speak but I wanted to get my reviews up before I forgot!

DAY 3

So Day 3 was the Regular Extreme Meal Plan which meant I got 4 reds, 3 greens, 2 purples, 2 yellows, 1 blue, 1 orange and 2 tsp! I took full advantage of having my fruit and an extra carbohydrate!

I had my two servings of fruit which tasted AMAZING! And I had some steamed potatoes at dinner time!

As for the workout it was Pilates Extreme which with the original 21 Day Fix this was my favorite workout of the week! And this is still my favorite in the Extreme program! It's just a little more intense but it sure works your body!

By the end of the day though I started to not feel good. Stuffed up nose and sore throat all at once! It was horrible.


DAY 4

Well this day was supposed to be back with the Countdown to Competition but I decided that I just wasn't enjoying myself with having to get that much protein in one day! It was tough! So I have switched back over to the regular plan. I might give this a go again in the last week of the program, we will see though.

Yesterday was by far a rest day, I didn't do a lot and to be honest Shakeology was my best friend since I didn't want to make anything and I wasn't feeling good, plus the coolness of my Shakeology really helped with my throat pain!





















I did however get my workout in which was Lower Fix. Did I give it my all? No probably not! But the fact that I still got it done was key! I find sweating when I am sick really helps too!

Sometimes though you do need to listen to your body, working out while sick isn't always going to benefit you. In fact you could get a lot worse than better! But I did take it easy and watched shows the rest of the day and even got a nap since I didn't have my toddler to watch either - WHICH WAS AMAZING!

I ALSO FAILED YESTERDAY TOO! I had a chocolate chip cookie!!! Shoot me now! Haha! In all seriousness though it didn't bother me that I had one. It was a treat and I was sick and I wanted something comforting and that is what I picked! Don't regret a treat every now and then. It happens just keep going!

Now below you are going to see my Day 1 photo vs. my Day 4 photo! I haven't taken any measurements or been on the scale but I can already see a HUGE difference in myself and I feel 10x better now that I have gotten myself out of my little funk!

Stay positive through your journey and tell yourself why you started! Don't give up and just keep pushing play or going to the gym!

Until Tomorrow!
