Meal Plan- 22 Minute Hard Corps: Week 3!

Have you ever wondered what a typical meal plan looks like if you're using The 21 Day Fix food plan?!?  If so, today is your lucky day!  I just finished my meal plan for week 3 of 22 Minute Hard Corps, and I'm going to share it with you!  The Fix food plan is actually used for 21 Day Fix, 21 Day Fix Extreme, Hammer and Chisel, and 22 Minute Hard Corps.  Do you know why most of the new programs use the container system from The 21 Day Fix?  Because it's easy, convenient, and IT WORKS!  It is extremely effective and helps to truly turn clean eating into a lifestyle!

You will notice that I tend to have my Shakeology for breakfast during the week.  It is fast, easy, delicious and it keeps me from craving junk throughout the day.  I won't go without it.  On the weekends, however, I have more time for a bigger breakfast, so I tend to have my Shakeology either for my morning or afternoon snack (depending on what I'm doing that day).  Generally, I like to drink it as my morning snack on Saturday as I'm heading to get groceries.  It helps me to stick to my list while I'm grocery shopping and not throw unnecessary and unhealthy food in my cart.  (Let's face it, it's much easier to stick to the plan if you don't have junk sitting around your house calling for you to eat it!)

You will also probably notice that I don't generally have a huge variety of food throughout the week.  There are a couple of reasons for this.  First of all, at first I tried to switch things up everyday, eat different foods all of the time, and what I found is that we were wasting a ton of food.  That is not feasible, nor affordable.  I also found that I was spending entirely too much time preparing all of that food.  So now, we make three main meals (often doubling the recipe) and we eat them as leftovers throughout the week.  Obviously if you aren't a fan of leftovers this may not be the best option for you.  Luckily, this works for my family, saves me money, and keeps me from spending so much time in the kitchen.

I plan to get the recipes on this meal plan posted this week and throughout next weekend, so stay tuned for those as well...they are some of my favorite recipes!

Feel free to send me questions if you have any.  As always, I'm here to help you reach those goals!

Happy meal planning!
