Tomorrow is the day…Day 1 of the 21 Day Fix! Getting ready has been a little bit of work, but also kinda fun.
I’m starting the program with some friends and family who are part of my first Challenge Group. And I must say it really makes it fun! A few of us have been texting and posting back and forth about what we’re nervous about, how we’re getting ready, recipe ideas and tips. It adds to the excitement.
Today I went food shopping and washed, chopped and bagged a lot of vegetables. I loved having the menu to look at while I made the list. Meal planning is something I always tried to do with dinner and the weeks I actually did it definitely ran more smoothly. Here is my 21 Day Fix Grocery List:

There were a few more things I had to buy for the family, but this was my basic list for my plan for the week. I do most of my food shopping at the local supermarket, but there are a few items I get regularly at Trader Joe’s, Fairway, or Costco. I try to stock up on those things, and some of these items I already had at home. So some of this stuff that can add up (like maple syrup and coconut oil) is stuff you’ll have for a while, and won’t be buying weekly.
As far as organic goes, I do my best. I always buy organic milk and eggs. I also buy organic baby carrots because carrots are the vegetable my children eat the most. Fairway often has nice-looking organic apples at a good price, and we eat a lot of those, so I will buy them when I’m there. I also buy organic ground beef and organic turkey. But honestly, I don’t buy all organic or local. It’s something I hope to do more and more.
As for the workouts- I can’t wait! I haven’t worked out in a while because I came down with strep throat, so I’m very much looking forward to tomorrow’s workout- Total Body Cardio Fix!
