I am SOOOO excited It’s time to start a new challenge and it is going to be INTENSE!!

After four prep rounds of A Little Obsessed, it's time to start a new chapter in my fitness journey with 80 Day Obsession.  This program features high intensity, low impact workouts that last 40-60 minutes and are done 6 days a week.  Even more important than the daily workouts is the timed nutrition plan that comes with the program.  The meal plan lays out specific foods that should be eaten at certain times of the day based on each person’s start weight and their goal to either maintain
and tone or lose weight.

I’ve always loved working out and trying new challenges but I preferred to have them written out for me rather than trying to determine on my own what I should do.  Heck two years ago after do the same program over and over for months I still didn’t know what moves to do on vacation without watching my videos. The wifi wasn’t consistent one day so I tried to remember from my head the different moves and decided to just do my favorites…yeah I couldn’t walk the majority of the vacation.  I did the hardest moves with heavy weights and realized then that there is a reason I should follow the workout programs and meal plans!! I am not the expert, my trainer and the nutritionist that assist her with development REALLY know what they are doing!!

So for the past few months, I have been prepping myself and challengers to learn more about timed nutrition and to become familiar with using bands and sliders in our workouts.

I have been sharing weekly meal plans and co-hosting prep calls and will continue both throughout the program...with is actually 97 days long.  There are 80 workouts and 17 rest days.  So if you are a planner like me, you can figure out when the plan will end….for me that’s right in time for my vacation to Mexico!!

Like I said before, the nutrition plan is specific to your weight and goals to give the best results for YOU!  The trainer and creator of the program, Autumn Calabrese lays out the plan meal by meal and provides a list of foods to choose from, so you just plug in your favorites for each day! Then you determine the best schedule for you following the 2-3 hour time frames to create your “timed nutrition” plan.

This program is not for someone that would consider themselves a fitness beginner or someone that is pregnant.  It is for those that have a base level of fitness and that understand the portion fix container system.

For those that have never done a challenge group of mine or program similar to this, I suggest joining my next group and starting with 21 Day Fix.  Then you can graduate into Fix Extreme, Chisel and A Little Obsessed before the next 80 day obsession group starts in May. 

80 Day Obsession requires specific equipment. While you’ll use weights and a mat in 21 Day Fix, you’ll have to do something like PiYo or A Little Obsessed to experience sliders before an 80 day challenge.  The loops are a new piece of equipment that I’ve never used and I love them even more than a resistance band!! There are three levels of bands and they really intensify the workout and work muscles in a completely new way!!

For my challenge group you’ll need me as your coach and the proper equipment and supplements.  The 21 Day Meal Plan incorporates a daily does of dense nutrition with Shakeology for a meal or snack each day.  In addition, I recommend drinking the energy drink Energize before workouts, Hydrate during workouts and Recover afterwards.  These give you energy, keep you hydrated and limit soreness. 


The next challenge groups starts with a prep and learning week on Monday, Jan 22 so you are ready to begin your program and fitness journey following the workout and meal plan on Monday, Jan 29.  Only 5 new spots are available for this group, so hurry and complete the application here and then message me through email or Facebook.

Shakeology No Bake Cookies

Over the weekend, I made Shakeology No Bake Cookies (or balls). I prefer to make these as balls rather than flattening them as cookies.  I've made them with both Chocolate and Vanilla Shakeology and both are good.  Using the Vanilla Shakeology actually creates Peanut Butter Balls...you don't really notice the vanilla...it just mixes in.  My girls and husband prefer the Peanut Butter Balls, but when I am craving chocolate...this is a great option!  The girls love helping with this recipe and it's super easy! Ingredients:  1 cup Chocolate or Vanilla Shakeology 1 cup all-natural peanut butter 1 cup quick-cooking rolled oats 1/2 cup raw honey How to Make:  Combine ingredients into a medium bowl, mix well with rubber spatula or by hand. Roll mixture into balls about 1 inch in size. Put into container. Refrigerate for 1-2 hours. Enjoy cold. If you are interested in more healthy eating or Shakeology recipes or are looking for fitness support...create

Home Workouts brought my Pre-Baby Body & Confidence Back

After having my two girls, I struggled with getting to the gym as its daycare hours didn’t work around my schedule.  The best day for me was Saturday morning and thenI had to gather my iPad, earbuds, towel, diapers, wipes and two girls.  By the time we were buckled into the car, 30 minutes later, someone had to go to the bathroom.  Then once we got to the gym, I did an hour of cardio while watching Mad Men and walked around the equipment trying to recall sessions with a personal trainer years ago.  Then a week later, we did it all over again and during the week, I walked outside a few nights a week.  My eating habits were somewhat healthy, but I finished my daughter’s mac and cheese and nibbled on her pretzels and goldfish during snack time. As a result, I didn't lose weight, I was tired and I was somewhat depressed as I missed the time and luxury of going to the gym before they were born. Then a friend posted her results from 21 Day Fix and I asked her a few questions th

Almond Joy candy vs. wonder whip

As Halloween approaches, candy options are more and more tempting.  Ok, maybe candy is tempting all year around!!  You want to think those little pieces of chocolate won't affect your weight goals, but they can.  Especially when it's hard to just eat one or two.  Personally, I would much rather have several bites of dessert than just one, so these wonder whip solutions are an amazing alternative to a few pieces of candy!! They are much more filling and satisfying!!  Whip up a bowl today and give your sweet tooth what it wants!!   Thanks to Ilana Muhlstein for sharing this recipe and her registered dietitian knowledge through the 2B Mindset Nutrition program and certified mentorship training!  B oth the Almond Joy candy and wonder whip have 235 calories, but you get a WHOLE cup with the whip rather than just two bites!!  Ingredients:  1 Cup 0-2% Plain Greek Yogurt 1 TBSP unsweetened Shredded Coconut 1 TBSP Cocoa Nibs 2 tsp. cocoa powder
