Turkey Bacon Wrapped Egg Bites

INGREDIENTS: 

Turkey Bacon, Eggs (or egg whites), Cheese, other ingredients (spinach, onions, broccolli, etc)

*for this recipe, I just added cheese

DIRECTIONS: 

~ Preheat oven to 375.

~ Spray muffin tin.

~ Line each spot with turkey bacon around the edges.

~ Whip all eggs. I used 9 eggs and 6 egg whites for this batch shown. 

So 9 eggs makes 8 bites. 6 egg white makes 4 bites.

~ Mix in cheese and other desired toppings. 

~ Evenly pour the egg mix into each spot, and 3/4 of the way up.

~ Back about 25mins or until turkey bacon is cooked.

2 egg bites = 1 RED and 1 *BLUE container

3 egg white bites = 1 RED and 1 *BLUE container

The 21 Day Fix EXTREME

Autumn Calabrese has done it again! First with The 21 Day Fix - such a HUGE fitness and nutrition breakthrough when it was released Feb. of 2014. It's been one of the BEST selling programs that Beachbody has released to date. It sold out in 2 days and was on back order for over 2 months! I did the program and the containers haven't left my side since. I've witnessed so much success with this program - through myself and others - that it's still a #1 seller!

So is it any surprise that Beachbody decided to turn up the heat and team up with Autumn AGAIN to bring us the 21 Day Fix Extreme?! I think not!

21 DAY FIX EXTREME: OVERVIEW

While the same concepts will be used that are formed in the original 21 Day Fix, the Extreme takes it up a notch (or 2, or 10). The workouts are more advanced and the meal planning system has NO CHEATS or TREATS this time around. But, if you like to SWEAT (and even if you don't), they'll be plenty of that! 

You'll still be using those lovely 7 different colored containers for your daily meals and portion control. These containers are each a different size, each for a different food group, and you'll use these to measure how which foods and how much of them you should be eating each day. The amount of each container you use per day is calculated based on your weight and an average calorie burn of 450 per workout. This is what a typical "EXTREME" day would look like for someone on the lowest calorie plan (1200-1499):

3 Green - your Veggies

4 Red - your Protein

2 Purple - your Fruits

2 Yellow - your Carbs/Starches

1 Blue - your Cheeses/nuts

1 Orange - Seeds & Dressings

2tsp - Oils and Nut Butters

It's exactly the same as your regular 21 Day Fix allowance. But, the DIFFERENCE comes in what you are actually putting IN those containers. All of the "questionable" unclean, high fat, or high sodium items from the original fix have been removed. But, by making these small changes, you will be fine tuning your nutrition and your results will go up a notch (or 2, or 10) as well!

21 DAY FIX EXTREME: MEAL PLAN OPTIONS

Okay, so with the EXTREME, you get TWO options to choose from when doing the program:

* Extreme

* Countdown to Competition

EXTREME

The Extreme plan uses the structure of the 21 Day Fix. Simple as that. Just remember, NO CHEATS or TREATS. 

COUNTDOWN to COMPETITION

This plan right here is what Autumn uses herself to prepare to compete on stage. The philosophy behind it is that you carb deplete for 2 days and then you have a regular "Extreme" eating day and then you carb deplete another 2 days followed by another regular "Extreme" day, and so on. You would do that for the first 18 days and then the last 3 days are all carb deplete days to really give you that chiseled look!

This is what a "competition" day looks like for someone in the lowest caloried plan (1200 - 1499):

3 Green - your Veggies

6 Red - your Proteins

1 Yellow - your Starches and Carbs

3tsp - Coconut oil (or 1 Blue container of avocado)

On this plan you will eat 8 times a day. Yes, you read that right, EIGHT times!

21 DAY FIX EXTREME: WORKOUTS & WORKOUT SCHEDULE

 While the naming remains pretty much the same for the workouts, they are just as they are described - EXTREME. They will work your body from head to toe. You will be doing Plyo, Upper, Pilates, Lower, Cardio, and Dirty 30 all with the use of WEIGHTS. The use of weights really increase the intensity of your workouts and the calories burn you produce because your muslces are engaged the ENTIRE time. You will have weights in your hand about 90% of the time. Yoga is the only one that doesn't involve weights.

Think you're ready to take on this program? I'd LOVE to be with you throughout your journey!

Insanity Max:30 -Month 1 Review

Want to know how my stats are looking halfway into this programs?! Keep reading...

I swear I go into these programs every time thinking "8 weeks?!" or "90 days?!" or "am I really going to do this?!" and then half way into it I look back and think "Holy crap. I'm already halfway done. How in the H-E-double hockey sticks did I do that?! And HOW am I going to continue?! YAY!!! I'm so excited, I can't wait! Let's do this!" HAHA! 

This program is no different...in fact, maybe just a little but more "insane". But one thing I LOVE about this program is that you keep track of your "MAX OUT" times each day, thus, having a friendly little competition with yourself to beat your time in the same workout the following week. I learned a long time ago that the only person you should be competing against is yourself! Who cares what the others are doing...doing YOUR best, keep improving YOURSELF...THAT'S what matters. 

And this program has you do just that :) 

There was a modifier in each workout. You actually got the option to watch the modifier the WHOLE time...SCORE...I hope Beachbody keeps that going for future workouts! While the "rules" are to follow one or the other, I didn't exactly do that. I don't always follow the rules ;) However, to be fair, i didn't know these were the rules until I worked out live with Tania "The machine", and was already 2 weeks into the program. So...i continued with my rules. And they were:

 first round unmodified, 2nd round modified (if needed). 

So, when I maxed out I knew what I had modified or not and the NEXT week when I did the same workout, I did not modify until I reached my prior Max out time...i went full throttle, and then back to my rules. It worked for me. I definitely pushed myself to places I never thought I could go wish pushups or tricep dips or any of the other crazy named moves I actually did ;) 

Check out my (almost) months worth of pictures/times...I definitely improved!! :) 

Oh yea...my stats so far?! Drum roll please...

Oh, wait! I'm not done yet! Am I looking forward to the next 4 weeks?!
HECK YES!
I have NO IDEA what is about to go down. I've heard it's tougher and more insane, which is hard to believe after the first four weeks! So I'm a little scared. But I'll turn my fears into excitment and get this party started!!!! Stay tuned on MissFITs to see how these next 4 weeks okay!







And finally...what you've been really waiting for...

I'm down 1lb and a total of 4.25 inches!!!

I'm pretty excited about those stats! My weight flucuates a lot, but my body is pretty comfy around this weight. I need something "EXTREME" to change this bodies mind...maybe in about a month?!  *hint, hint* 

But those inches...and in my "problem areas"...oh heck yes!!!!! That's what I like to see! :)
