New Phase!

Yes, this pictures describes my week!
SORE!!!
It was the first week of a new Phase.  It was really interesting.
We had a lot of the same exercises BUT they were combined with other exercises.
We had a lot of the same exercises BUT we used a heavier weight or heavier resistance loop.
We had the same WONDERFUL trip to the Zoo BUT we add 2 extra reps to every exercise with every round.
We had a lot of the same BUT there was a lot of changes.  We had plenty of muscle confusion.  We had plenty of sore muscles!!!  It was absolutely amazing.

There is something about this program that I find very hard to explain.  It has not only changed my body but my brain, my emotions, and even my confidence.  I find myself feeling better about who I am and how I look.  I am confident in the food I have chosen to eat and trusting 100% the PROCESS!!  It’s so worth it!!!!

According to the calculations, I was able to move up a plan for eating.  Eating in Plan B at the beginning and now finding myself eating in Plan C, I admit I was a little FREAKED OUT but I have settled in and I have also found myself trusting the process more and more and more!!!!

This week we will take the adventure into a Refeed Day.  It’s very different and I actually get BROWNIES on WEDNESDAY!!!!!!  I am so excited about it!  I will share more about Refeed Day and the reasoning behind it.  

I would love to have you join us! If you would like to join us, please check out the tabs to the right!!!
Click one and just simply complete it and I will get in touch with you!!!!  Do not miss out on this INCREDIBLE JOURNEY!!!!!!

Phase 1 is In The Books!!!

Well, I have completed the first Phase of 3.  I admit I was a bit nervous.  I was scared to share such pictures because it is a very vulnerable place to be.  This is a program, the only way I know to describe it is, that has completely ROCKED MY WORLD.  I have had to rethink so many things with this program.
Typically thinking when people are on a “program”
-You majorly cut your calories (700-1200)
-You workout like a crazy person
-You are exhausted
-You are obsessed with the scale
I have been there more times than I care to count.  I have a horrible relationship with the scale.  It is a piece of bathroom furniture that I can not stand.  I have been in a place that I have weighed several times a day and THAT number determined how many times I needed to workout in a day AND what workouts would burn the most calories AND what things that I could eat AND how many calories I was putting in my mouth AND how many calories I could have based on when I was going to the gym.  DO YOU SEE WHAT I’M TALKING ABOUT!!!!!!  This is NOT living

Well this program tells me exactly what to eat and when to eat it.  What workout to do and I can choose when to do it.  Morning, Afternoon or even the evening .......THE BEST PART.....I don’t have to get on the scale every day, every week or even bi-weekly.  I get on at the end of a phase.  ONE TIME!  That is it!!!  Absolutely AMAZING!!!!

So, at the end of Phase 1—-
I’m down 4 pounds and 10 1/2 Inches!!!!!
Are you serious???
Yes, Yes I am!!!!!!
The best part.....after calculations for the next Phase- I get to eat even more food!!!!  CRAZY!!!!!

I would love to have you join me on this journey!  It’s absolutely a GAME CHANGER!!!!  What are you waiting for?   JUMP IN!!!  Message me ASAP!!!  New Group Starting 2/19!!!!!!

Week 3

Week 3

One thing.

Yes just ONE THING!

Seriously?

Yes, just ONE THING!

Several parts but ONE THING!


TRUST THE PROCESS!!!!

YOU MUST TRUST THE PROCESS!  By the time that we get to week 3 in a program, all of the questions and the doubts start.

For example.....

Am I eating enough?

Am I eating to much?

Am I working out hard enough?

Am I just bloated?

But I haven't lost any weight!

But I cheated that one time!

Am I eating to many yellows?

Am I eating to late in the day?

Did I forget to eat something today?

Am I drinking to much water?

Am I drinking enough water?

Am I sure this program is going to work for me?


You know EXACTLY what I am talking about!  You have been there! You have questioned everything and then probably even more.  Here is the thing that I learned over and over last week and if Autumn herself said it once, she said it daily.....TURST THE PROCESS.

Here is the key.

The results that we see and the RESULTS we want so desperately are the results after 80 days!  These people completed the program.  They have already been through EVERY week we are just now starting.  Seriously, this is only week 3!!!  GET A GRIP!!!

I can do this!

You can do this!

Don't question EVERYTHING!

TRUST THE PROCESS!!!!!

Week 2 of 80 Day Obsession!!!!

Well, I have successfully made it through Week 2 of 80 Day Obsession!!!
I have to admit that this week was a bit of a challenge.  Not in a bad way!!!
This week I learned several things.


Let's Get Started!!!

--You WILL figure out Timed Nutrition.  I admit that the first week was a challenge.  I was not sure how I would possibly eat all of that food I prepared but this week I found myself OUT of food by Saturday evening and throwing things together to meet my containers.  Absolutely amazing.


--You WILL and MUST challenge yourself.  I lift a lot of weights, use slider and resistance loops.  While all of that is wonderful, if I don't increase my resistance with the loops, or increase the weight of my dumbbells or pull in my abs more every time I do the exercise IT WILL NOT CHANGE OR CHALLENGE ME!!!  Is it HARD? Yes, but OH SO WORTH IT!!!!


--You MUST trust the process.  If Autumn has said it once, she has said it 100 times.  The key for me is this.  The Result pictures from the Test Group are AFTER the entire 80 Days!!!  They are not after week one.  They are not after week 2 and for sure not after only 3 weeks.  They are after the FULL 80 DAYS!!!!


-- You WILL feel different.  Yes, I actually feel different.  You feel a TON of emotions.  This is not only about your physical health but your emotional health.  You will be more confident.  You may even have a bout of tears in the middle of a workout because you are working so hard and you are so proud of yourself and how far you have come.


I am here to help.  I would love to have you join me on this journey.  Maybe 80 Days is to much to fast and you need to start at the beginning.  NO PROBLEM.....I got you covered!!!

Let's do this!  What are you waiting for!!!!!

Week 1

January 15-January 21

First week of 80 Day Obsession.

What have I learned?

--You MUST get sleep.  I am now up at 4:30 am and the night before the launch I did NOT sleep because I was so excited, nervous and afraid I would oversleep and start off defeated before the first alarm ever went off.


--You MUST be prepared.  I did my meal prep on Sunday afternoon and was totally blown away at the amount of food I was preparing.  Are you kidding me!  Autumn you REALLY want me to eat ALL OF THIS!!!!  My kitchen looked like the day after Pampered Chef had exploded and my refrigerator looked like Rubbermaid and Tupperware had moved in.


-- You NEED the Beachbody Performance Line!  I had never used Energize and to be honest I was a little nervous.  I LOVE this stuff.  A little extra boost to help me push harder in my workouts....I'll take that!  Hydrate is incredible.  I was already using that with my running and it's so much better than the other "Hydration Drinks" that are on the market!  Recover was new for me.  Talk about helping with sore muscles and recovery......AWESOME!!!!  And the added bonus.....THEY ALL TASTE AMAZING!!!!!


--You MUST have the Resistance Loops and Slider.  I did A Little Obsessed without the "Sliders" and used paper plates.  They are ok but let me tell you that a little plastic disc can totally ROCK YOUR WORLD!  The Resistance Loops.....well they take some getting used to but do not ever underestimate a pretty little stretchy band.  You WILL cry for MERCY!!!


--You MUST trust the process.  Autumn did not just sit down and write a program because she felt like it and pull all of this information out of thin air.  She researched.  She met with other professionals. She's tested the program.  There has been a test group.  Information has been gathered and shared and edited.  This is something TOTALLY different and feels TOTALLY different but don't change what is written.  TRUST THE PROCESS!!!


--You WILL be sore.  You will find you have muscles you had no idea you had.  You will be sore in place you didn't know you would be sore.  You will fall in love with a foam roller. You will enjoy your rest day and you will learn all about self care.  You will learn to do the cool down, the warm up, and everything else that you need to become obsessed with taking care of you.


Those are just a few things that I learned in Week 1

Ready for Week 2!!!  Let's do this!!!!!

80 Day What????????

Yes, there is a new fitness program coming out called 80 Day Obsession.  It's from Autumn Calabrese, the creator of 21 Day Fix, 21 Day Fix Extreme, Country Heat and co-creator of Hammer and Chisel.  It is the longest program next to P90X.

It's different

It uses different equipment.

It's nutrition guide is different.

They chose to give a little "Sneak Peek" into 80 DO and called it "A Little Obsessed".  They filmed it live on Beachbody on Demand and it was AMAZING!!!!!!  There were so many people trying to do the 5 days that we "broke the internet" 2 days and they decided to do it FOR 2 WEEKS!!!!!  
It was INCREDIBLE!!!!!!!


I am so pumped about this program.  I can not wait for it to get here!!!!  The A Little Obsessed will be back on BOD (Beachbody On Demand) in December and it will stay there until the new program comes out.


This is a HARD program.  I can't lie.  It is not meant to be easy.  What I have seen coming out of the Test Group.....I WANT THAT!!!  
Determination has kicked in at 110% and I'm going after it!!!

So why share all of this??????


I want you to go with me.

I don't want to do this alone.

I need accountability and someone who REALLY WANTS THIS!!!!

Is that you?

Do you think it might be?

You have until January 1 to figure it out.

Be thinking and watching for more updates!!!

DO NOT MISS OUT!!!!

What an awesome way to start 2018!!!!!!

A Little Obsessed- Day 1

Well, let’s just say........”Oh Heavens!”  I was nervously excited about this crazy new program that is going to be available in January.  You remember Autumn Calabrese from 21 Day Fix?  It’s her!!!!  They opted to share 5 days of Sneak Peak filmed live.  I have been a huge group of people that are preparing for this program and getting a lot of information and preparations for this program.  It’s just amazing!  

Today was Day 1. 

My Take-Aways

1- Time to tighten up my nutrition even more because I WANT THIS!

2- Get some of the stretchy bands and sliders.

3- Get Ready! This is VERY different!

4- I will be sore tomorrow! 

5-BRING ON DAY 2!

I want this for you as well!  Want to join in on the excitement?  Leave a comment or send me a message ASAP.  It’s going to be AMAZING!!!!!!
