Well, hey. It’s been a while. I want to tell you about my 80 Day Obsession filming test group post partum journey… but first… an update…

Since I’ve blogged - I’ve gone through an IVF cycle. Carried a baby to 40 weeks. Endured an induction & medication free delivery (other than induction obviously). I’ve struggle through sleep deprivation while being obsessed with my newborn. I got back on the fitness wagon after my midwives cleared me at about 7 weeks. I participated in 2 different test groups for new at home fitness programs being released to the public. I exclusively breasted (still do) while following these programs an meal plans. Traveled a ton. Learned a lot about motherhood by trial and error. And… that basically brings me to now.

I’m a recent graduate of a home workout program called 80 Day Obsession. It releases to the public JAN 15th, 2018 - and I’ve been doing it since AUG 2017. I did one complete round - to the “TEE” - absolutely no cheats, no derailments. I breastfed the entire time. I added 500 calories to my meal plan as the test group nutritionist recommended. And I fell in love. I started out the plan eating in PLAN C - and you will see with the start of Phase 2 - I bumped up to PLAN D. When I started the program, I was a little past 6 months post partum. When I graduated the program - I was 9 months post partum.

Check out my video for NEW(er) MOMMY’S DOING 80 DAY OBSESSION:

This is a collection of my journey through my posts when I was allowed to announce it & share on FACEBOOK! Sort of a journal of photos. I hope you enjoy it!

I CANNOT WAIT TO CONTINUE MY POST PARTUM COMMITMENT WITH THIS NEXT PROGRAM!!

🔥 Its called 80 DAY OBSESSION 🔥

…. and oh my gosh. Just WAIT!!!

This is going to be an amazing opportunity for people. Our test group is ONE WEEK in and we are seeing amazing results and feeling muscles that we haven’t felt in a LONG TIME … if ever. We are using bands, sliders and weights and getting demolished in every workout - in the best way.

We are learning all about TIMED NUTRITION from Autumn and using her container system. So the meal plan is SIMPLE 👌🏻

I’m continuing to breastfeed so I bumped up in clean calories & will keep you posted on all of that!

Loren is so excited that he gets to dive in to this too because he LOVES Autumn workouts. Just this week he said many times how SORE he is and how awesome it is that Autumn can take such simple moves and make you work like crazy!

➖Was I nervous to say yes?
✔️Um yea.
➕IT’s EIGHTY DAYS!!

I’m used to 3 weeks and then PIZZA & CANDY 😂
There is test group homework, meal prep, figuring out Roux’s schedule during the live workout, weekend habits, sleep deprivation …. post partum life.

…. it’s up to me to SHOW UP every single day to show what this program is capable of - that’s no easy task. No excuses in this arena.

But…. if I’m going to continue to make progress in my post partum journey - I need to keep challenging myself and stop playing small. It’s an absolute honor for us to be included in this brand new program AND concept. I will give it my all!

Get ready you guys! New equipment. New moves. New workouts. New timing. New concepts!

I’m so thankful for the 17lbs Shift Shop helped me lose. I cannot wait to watch my body transform. Loren has so much to contribute from a GUY’s perspective and as an athlete. We can’t wait to pass this on and pay it forward - helping THOUSANDS more gain freedom in their lifestyle 💕

We are obsessed.

I’m obsessed with living my best life and growing into who God created me to be. This is a part of it! Thank you Autumn & Beachbody! 👌🏻

This was just an amazing 13 weeks.

The TIMED NUTRITION was a new concept for me. I was used to intermittent fasting - but THIS is not THAT. Not at all. Totally different thing.

This is an example of my Pre-Workout Meal ✔️

🍑 BOOTY WORKOUT 🍑 was ahead of me & these tacos… just amazing! I LOVED that I didn’t have to eat super boring food.

I always start my day with Shakeology because it’s just too busy with morning naps to do much of anything else. I blend. I drink. I spend quality time with Roux.

Then the next nap rolls around & I feel like I have a quick second to use my brain a little more when it comes to food 😜

Tacos. 🌮

If ya’ll know me - this is everything. My happy place.

Clean Tacos:
➕ Corn Tortillas
➕ Raw Spinach
➕ Local Tomatoes
➕ Lime Juice
➕ Lean Ground Beef
➕ Homemade Taco Seasoning

 

Some days were chaos - and Roux’s naps didn’t alight. But we worked it out!

Being a part of the TEST GROUP - I got to workout with Autumn and the cast LIVE while they filmed it for the public. We streamed in to the studio gym. So, I had a SPECIFIC time I had to workout each day. Mommas, stay flexible 🙂

 

80 Day Obsession :: Test Group Post Partum Progress Peek 👀

I’m “flexing” in both pictures, below.

Travel & treats got a little intense for me after Shift Shop and I was left with about 4lbs gained of bloat/fluff.

Two weeks into 80 Day Obsession and I’m down about 4lbs & getting my strength back for realzzz 👌🏻

I’m down a bunch of inches & just really proud of the commitment I’ve brought to these last 14 days. It’s hard to believe I haven’t craved any treats or pancakes … but it’s true! Probably because I get to have clean tacos still 🥑🌮

On to week 3!

 

 

Also… I mean… look at that little squishy baby!!

 

 

I’m not sure I’ve worked harder for something than this …. {maybe pregnancy is a close second lol}

These last few months + my post partum journey — they have almost broken me …. but in turn built me up. 👆🏼

I don’t see positive changes day to day. I just don’t. But every week or so … I look back and I can say … yep …. THIS IS WORTH IT! 👌🏻

💥We got this guys.
📆Day after day.
🙋🏼Show up
💦Sweat it out.
🌱Follow the meal plan.
✔️Organize the priorities the best you can!
Day 16/80

 

Pursuing my own healthy journey is about more than just me.

➕ It’s about being a present wife
➕ It’s about modeling confidence for Roux
➕ It’s about caring for this ONE body God has given me
➕ It’s about personal challenge & overcoming mental blocks
➕ It’s about being obsessed with a positive life & I can’t have that for long with an unhealthy body

My workout is scheduled.
I try my very best to line up Roux’s nap time with my workout.
I hired help some days for that block of time so that he’s well cared for & I get to keep this a priority.
Most likely everything else will fly away - as far as a schedule goes …. but not my workout.

I’m doing this for me because it’s IMPORTANT to my whole family. It allows me to be the kind of person I want to be & helps me to keep a tiny hold on my day.

It’s not about six packs and booty dimples for me.
It’s about a LIFE WELL LIVED…. and I gotta show up in order to make that possible.

Don’t be afraid to ask for help.
Don’t be afraid to organize your schedule as best as you can so YOU get to take care of YOU too.

It’s the most selfless thing we can do. Take care of us so there is more of us to give.

 

PRE - WORKOUT ✨ Meal : one of my favorites, again.

Whenever I thought of eating for FITNESS goals - I always thought of egg whites + plain oats + bland rice cakes.

{While there is a time for that type of food in someone’s fitness journey…}

I’m so glad that’s not on my menu. 😝

If your going to do this program - make sure you have heavy weights. Save up + add it to your wish list …. whatever. Get ready for OBSESSION and results …. because you’re gonna lift heavy! ✌🏼💦

TRIPLE A is today!

Remember …. Arms + Abs + 🍑ss 🤗

That’s been the best surprise so far for me…. this program has a big focus on booty & core /// but my arms have been pregnant for like a year. My arms are definitely leaning out again and rebuilding strength! Shift Shop got things started… 80 Day Obsession is adding to it big time 🤙🏼 thank goodness. 😂

I’m eating around 1800-2100 calories a day most days for those who were asking. I don’t count calories. I look at my meal plan, eat what it tells me to eat & use my containers for portion measurements. Really simple 👌🏻 (I add 500 calories for breastfeeding)

This program isn’t releasing on DVD …. just for my On Demand members. If you’re still looking to stream workouts and save money on your annual membership reach out 💥🖥

 

I was completely spent, every day. My body hadn’t worked that hard in …. I don’t know if ever. We wrapped up Week 3 of this program & I couldn’t wait to show my progress pictures!

I invited all my chins to the garage this day 🤣

I’m all about science. I enjoyed seeing pictures of the eclipse & keeping the weather channel on during this workout 🌘

My reality that day included crushing my hour workout in the garage & juggling baby naps + nursing + timed nutrition & making sure no one’s retinas burst.

I listened to podcasts + personal development while Roux napped… in between answering emails, checking in with my challengers on our app, laundry & dishes {oh the dishes!}.

My career as a coach is so flexible. The hard part is just being FLEXIBLE, myself. I’m a full time momma - in a very structured FITNESS TEST GROUP - running 2 monthly virtual fit camps a month & leading a large 7k organization of other entrepreneurs ….. but FLEXIBILITY & DISCIPLINE with the small things is where I focus!

If I wasn’t a coach - I wouldn’t have the personal health accountability & I wouldn’t have the fulfillment I feel when I do something like this every day for ME ….

▪️Show up in my garage
▪️Be a mess
▪️Relate to other women
▪️Share normal ideas and day to day victories & struggles
▪️Be MOMMY first

…. do you feel fulfilled?

….. do you remember a time when you felt fulfilled? Was it when you FELT good? FELT healthy? I’d bet YES for most people.

Do you need help?
Reach out!
I’d love to connect with you! 💕

PS: idk why these moves look so easy yet are so BRUTAL! Conquering post partum one day at a time.

 

 

BRIGHT SUN-SHINING DAY ☀️

Today’s workout was GOOD FOR THE SOUL. I didn’t get past round ONE before I was covered in sweat and begging for a break.

For the past couple years, most of my home workout programs have been 21 days long.

Today, was day 22 of 80 Day Obsession.

I’m actually surprised I don’t have cravings yet. I’d tell ya!!

In the past … Day 22 was all about snapping my “AFTER” photos and then heading out for some pancakes or chocolate chip cookies. But not today…

Today I sweat it out in my garage during nap time & crushed a serious BOOTY workout. Those bands… they will really shock you!

REFEED DAY is coming in a couple weeks - I can have pancakes then. I’ll tell you more about that as we get closer. I don’t want to torture myself 😜

For now, I’m going to challenge myself & see what happens when I DON’T cave. It’s not really about what I CAN or CANNOT have. I want to see what happens when I put my willpower to the test & allow this program to do what it’s designed to do!! I want to see what happens if I DON’T STOP where I’ve always stopped or paused before.

As of Day 22: I’m down 7-8lbs and MANY inches… including over 1.5 inches on EACH THIGH. Yep… also happily surprised by that. 🙋🏼

Also… get this… I’ve NEVER dreaded a workout. Not once! Every workout is DIFFERENT! For ALL 80 days! So I am ALWAYS looking forward to it - the new moves, the new flow, the new intensity. It’s brilliant.

I can’t wait for my team & my challengers to get their hands on this program!!

 

CARDIO was a brutal adjustment for me - like, really… don’t sign me up.

But, I honestly learned to love it. So darn weird how that happens.

We are what we repeatedly do. 🔛
Success is a habit, not a skill. ✔️

Today marks 28 days into our journey with 80 Day Obsession. This challenge has shaped me in more ways than one already!

It’s been a full time commitment & I’m OBSESSED!

▪️I’ve never done the same workout twice, so I’m never bored.
▪️I have a specific plan telling me what to eat - how much to eat - and when to eat it.
▪️ I’ve lost 9lbs and 11 inches in less than 30 days while eating a LOT and committing to my home workout every single day.
▪️ I’ve lifted heavy, learned new moves & how to use resistance loops, and I’ve taken my eating habits to a new level with timed nutrition.

I think this program is going to help so many people bust through old habits, plateaus, and really help people see what they are capable of. It’s been an honor to be a test group participant. I’ve given this program my all and when it’s released in January, so many people are going to reach new personal goals.

That is so exciting to me!! 🤗

Here we go PHASE 2!

 

Today started PHASE TWO which means all new routines, moves, & order of workouts. I moved up a calorie bracket too …. so MORE food!
🥗🍗🍓🍌🍠🍳🥑🍇🌮🥒

Solving the nursing boobs workout dilemma one crop top at a time

CHALLENGED ME IN THE BEST WAY!

Autumn told us to grab “medium weights” for phase 2’s Total Body Core.

I grabbed 20’s & 15’s.

Um. No. 🙅🏼

10’s were incredibly challenging today!

All new moves. None of us knew what was coming today. An hour of lifting & compound movements that made my entire body shake and sweat.

If I’m going to workout … this is the kind of workout I want! Make it WORTH IT to wash my hair 💁🏼 haha!

You guys.

When I started working out again after Roux - I was 7 weeks post partum. Loren and I did the original 21 Day Fix to kind of warm up again. Holy humbling. I couldn’t hold a plank. My core has always been the strongest part of my body - but that big ‘ol belly caused more than a few things to shift.

I had to carefully and slowly work back to holding planks longer than ten seconds {not exaggerating}. Today… my core is STRONG and I was so proud of each move that I held properly!! VICTORY!

It took time.
It took starting out slow.
It took doing one home program after another.

I’ve still got plenty of improvements to make … but I’m getting there!!

Post Partum moms - I know it sucks to see your core so weak and shaped differently. I know. But just keep at it. One home workout program & correct form at a time. We will all get there.

Hands down my favorite workout of 80 Day Obsession so far! I can’t wait to see how we improve over these next four weeks in phase 2!!

We only have about 8 weeks left of this program!

Roux only wants momma today. So, quick shower and back to nursing my piglet 🙆🏼🐽

Saturday’s CARDIO FLOW 🔥

Adding in two extra reps to every move for PHASE TWO seems simple enough …. until you’re doing all the animal moves.

DEAD.

The workout that sneaks up on you 😅

I wanted to stay in my jammies all day and keep watching the HARDKNOCKS …. but then I reminded myself that this program is changing more than just my body.

Yea. I’ve lost 11lbs in 5 weeks. But I’ve regained so much strength and confidence. It’s an absolute PRIVILEGE to be a member of this test group because I GET TO show people that when you commit to it fully …. this program WILL change you.

It’s as simple as that.

And then we chug ENERGIZE and do the thing.

The End.

✌🏼💛

{Hey you guys…. if you slack on the meal plan, your results are gone slack. Keep it in check this weekend. Worth it!}

 

ENTER: REFEED DAY! {angels singing!}

I’M IN BURGER HEAVEN : and I can’t believe this is part of my program 🙆🏼🍔

👉🏻✨ MENTAL BOOST ✨👈🏻 for sure!

… and I still have to eat one more meal tonight 🍴🥗🍪

Day 38 of 80 Day Obsession is one of my favorites so far 🙊

Tomorrow is LEG DAY and I am very curious to see if I feel terrible tomorrow or great 😂

Some days you just need a really good work out with one of your besties 🐶

Yesterday I had meal plan approved : cookies, brownies, tons of fruit & a take out burger.

Today I feel : amazing, energized, & focused.

❤️ REAL LIFE MAINTAINABLE BALANCE ✌🏼

Leg Day done!

I probably could’ve lifted 5lbs heavier on most moves. That’s both disappointing & exciting. I know to push myself a bit more next week.

Funny thing…. this is the first workout I’ve done in MONTHS when I didn’t have my performance line plant based hydrating drink…. and it’s the first time my calves cramped up during hamstring curls 🤔

Hurry Fed Ex Friend 📦📬

We absolutely crush the Performance Line in this house every month 🏡🤷🏼‍♀️ We’ve got goals!

I think every athlete and every ACTIVE person should regularly consume the performance line!

✨GIVES ME WINGS!

Sometimes you just gotta do it for YOU …

…. and that new booty 🍑

:: get ready to conquer the loops in this program guys! ::

☀️ I’ve officially lost my pregnancy AND IVF weight gain as of today. Now to build more muscle back.

 

W O R T H I T

Above all else ….. I didn’t FEEL like myself.

It has never been all about feeling confident in a bikini necessarily for me. It’s about feeling confident in my own skin.

No matter what I look like on the OUTside … that confidence in my own skin comes from ME knowing I am doing MY BEST in taking care of MYSELF.

It’s the effort and commitment that matters the most to me. That’s what makes me feel confident and makes me feel like myself. Don’t you agree? Can’t you remember a time where you felt GOOD about the way your health took priority? Or maybe you never have and you’re just tired of feeling like junk.

The programs that Beachbody creates just happen to give you incredible results WHEN you follow them & stay committed. R E S U L T S.

It’s a B Y - P R O D U C T ✌🏼

The time between these pictures is S I X weeks.

Imagine what you could personally accomplish in 15 weeks!!

Post partum women : don’t count yourselves out! I’ll help you through it all! ☀️

I can’t wait to see what my commitment allows my body to do over the next 6 weeks. I want more women to do this with me! I’m all in. 💁🏼

 

I felt like my body was breaking down during this workout.

I went into it ready, fueled, energized & focused.

But then …..

💦 sweating profusely
🏋🏼‍♀️ lifting heavy because it’s a 15×2 week
🐠 grip felt slippery
💥 forearms giving out
📿 bands twisting & flipping

…. today was an incredibly CHALLENGING workout for me - both physically and mentally.

Just. Freaking. Hard.

And it was BOOTY day too! Who would have thought your heart rate could get so high in a booty routine?! Autumn knows what’s up.

I finished this workout - but not only that, I brought my best - nailed every rep - kept good form.

I’m OBSESSED because I’m CHALLENGED and that’s how we grow! 🌱

We are making a few small adjustments to my meal plan - excited to continue testing this program out to see all that it’s capable of!

Day 45 of 80 Day Obsession done ✔️

Just because you’re challenged doesn’t mean you quit 🙅🏼

💻 CREATE HEALTHY HABITS // NOT RESTRICTIONS 🌱

It’s just not about putting things off until there are perfect conditions.

ACT your way into feeling MOTIVATED & then that MOTIVATION will GROW into more ACTION! 👌🏻

Hey Roux,

Poke my eyes out anytime you want - as long as it’s followed by your sweet kiss! 😘

❤️ HAPPY FRIDAY

PS: Roux gets his knees from momma 😂

Day 49/80 done!

🍑 DROP IT LOW // DROP IT LOW 🍑

Wrapped up PHASE 2 with Day 50’s CARDIO FLOW! Ah! 50 days DONE ✔️!!

…. and of course we are running late as we head to our local quarterly Beachbody event 🤷🏼‍♀️

It’s always chaos before you travel isn’t it? 🤣Roux got a nap in …. and that’s kind of the most important thing 😂👌🏻

Happy Baby = Happy Mommy
Happy Mommy = hopefully a Happy Daddy 🤞🏼
{he gets grumpy when we are running late} 🤣

— AND WE TRAVELED (twice) - this time, we were in Boston for a WEEK living in a hotel and stayed on plan 100%!

I live in a world where I can …

🌱Choose to enjoy an amazing opening keynote with 12 of our team’s leaders

🌱Stick to my nutrition & workout commitment

🌱… and make it back to nurse my baby & sing him to bed.

This is your LIFE! YOU CHOOSE HOW YOU LIVE IT!

“People who have the highest feeling of belonging - have the courage to stand alone.

Belonging is not something you negotiate with a group of people. It’s something you carry inside of you. It’s not up to other people.”

I choose to stand courageously & live my life with JOY

 

A COMMITMENT is a COMMITMENT even when it’s not CONVENIENT.

Pushing play at 10pm in an empty gym before a travel day tomorrow. 🤜🏻🤛🏽

If you struggle with confidence …. try making a commitment & following through. I bet you’ll feel that healthy confidence build! 👆🏼✨

Day 56 : BOOTY … I’m coming for you! 🔥

🙆🏼Today is our 60th workout.
🌱60-something days of this meal plan.
👶🏼8.5 months of exclusive breastfeeding.

When I first think about that : I think well…. that’s kind of a long time.

But is it?

60 days out of your year? Is that really that long to transform your body?

Or in my case - RE transform my body and start to see post partum core strength again!

PHASE 3 of 80 Day Obsession is legit. It’s tough. But again, not in a way that makes you feel like you’re beating yourself up.

The meal plan : it’s been challenging from the start - because it’s a plan. Not a free for all.

That’s where I see so many people lose traction in their results. Their nutrition.

I was talking to my sister last night. She was asking about the program and how I liked it. I told her, yea I mean it may be nice to just go order a pizza or some yummy thing off of a menu without thinking of timed nutrition or my container pairings. Like that would be a little mental break …. for like a day 🤣 …. the truth is though - once you accept this way of living as a lifestyle, like it’s just something you DO - like brushing your teeth - you won’t feel deprived. I don’t have cravings for junk… I truly don’t!

It’s important to do our programs + meal plans all the way through as they were INTENDED to be followed so that you can really see what’s possible! Then, after you’ve completed it all the way through once - sure, be flexible on the meal plan and find your every day balance.

This program has brought me back. It complimented every other home program I completed in my post partum journey & it’s getting me back to ME. 16lbs down since starting this program & down 64lbs since having Roux!

That’s worth the discipline.
I’m obsessed with following through & seeing what this program can do.

20 more workouts until I can say I am one of the first ever 80 Day Obsession transformations!

Post Partum GAME CHANGER! 👌🏻🔥
My body is changing because I’m following the plan and working REALLY hard. Let yourself experience that!!

Cardio Core in Phase 3 is challenging & fun somehow. I’ve never been one to like cardio - but when you pair it with core … I like it!

 

Safe to say : I’VE NEVER SWEAT SO MUCH DURING A WORKOUT IN MY LIFE 😅💦

Leg Day in Phase 3 in a 10×3 just may be one of the toughest workouts I’ve ever done when you lift heavy enough.

Sweat dripping off my elbows.
Sweat dripping off my eyebrows.
Through my headband.
…. grossed out yet?

I opened up my #NewMommyTribe this week to over 100 moms and this first free group is all about new mommy nutrition. Today we are chatting about hydration and all the ways your body needs you to stay hydrated. Funny because, I easily sweat enough to fill a gallon bucket today.

I’ll be drinking extra HYDRATE for breastfeeding support today for sure 👌🏻💦

I could not be more thankful for this journey.
I will never ever ever ever regret all this hard {freaking} work I’ve invested in myself post partum. Not because of a flatter tummy. But because I needed this. I needed to see {again} that I could do this. I needed to show myself that showing up every day and trusting the process really DOES work.

I needed to do it so I could show other women that they can do it too.

Down 66 flippin’ pounds & PROUD AS CAN BE! 🗣🏔🙌🏻

YOU NEXT!!

This is just a friendly reminder :

💁🏼 you CAN lose the weight
🌱 you CAN learn to enjoy healthy living
🤓 you CAN achieve success
🤹🏻‍♀️ you CAN be wife + momma + leader
✈️ you CAN travel & experience the world
🚧 you CAN do hard things
🌳 you CAN build a family legacy
🎡 you CAN develop new habits
🍹 you CAN have a social life

… being a “little ‘ol” Beachbody coach taught me all the things & showed me I could blow the lid off of the limitations I created for my own success & fulfillment.

Week ELEVEN is done. 2 weeks left of round one of 80 Day Obsession.

We heard a quote last night that really resonated with me. In my post partum fitness journey + building our 7 figure business …

INTENSITY cannot replace CONSISTENCY.

So… there’s that! 🙆🏼

New coaches joining our team from US + CANADA + now the UK … what an exciting time to get in shape - do meaningful work - and change the course of your family’s future with financial independence.

New virtual challengers : ya’ll are blowing us away with your commitment! We are so lucky to get to do these home workout programs right alongside you guys!

AND THEN WE TRAVELED TO LONDON … and, yep, STAYED ON PLAN!

JET LAG : the secret to parents having time on their hands. 🤷🏼‍♀️🤷🏽‍♂️

We cooked & ate a healthy breakfast (twice)
Coffee. (That was warm still)
Checked in to our businesses.
Brainstormed a new idea.
Showered.
Got dressed.
Momma did hair AND makeup.

✌🏼 didn’t have to choose today 😂

Now we wait for the baby cub to stir & we’re off!
…. like a herd of turtles

hey… it’s working. ✌🏼

Welcome to the OBSESSED LIFE.

10:40pm London time & pressing play. But the light caught this baby bicep and I obviously had to document it!

Byeeeee arm fat 👋🏻!

We are basically still on Virginia time for Roux’s sanity 😂 … so we are all messed up but we roll with it!

Total Body I’m coming for you! ⚡️

The second half of that BOOTY workout makes you want to yell obscenities 🤣

PHASE THREE of #80DayObsession is COMPLETE & all we have left is a special week from Autumn Calabrese starting on Monday - then we are official program test group graduates!

Holy Wow that flew by! I’m so glad I said ‘yes.’ Even though it was physically tough and mentally more challenging. The 74 days have past & I’m better for it.

Day 74 was done today & I really do look forward to next week!

I’m RSVP-ing a bunch of girls as my official challengers for our virtual challenge group in November and I’ll come back on to share how many spots I have left! You gotta join us before the year ends!

🎧What would you accomplish in your health and fitness if no obstacle stood in your way?

🎧What if you lost those 10-20lbs?!

🎧What if you felt confident & proud heading into the holidays?!

THAT’S MY GOAL!
Do it with me!

DON’T FEEL LIKE IT : LEVEL 10

Beyond exhausted from a week’s worth of little sleep + woke up this morning in London & ending the day in Virginia Beach … 😴

So I’m just counting to 3 & pressing play on day one of PEAK WEEK!

Decisions are OURS to make and WE can do HARD THINGS 🙋🏼

I CANNOT BELIEVE IT! DAY 80/80 is HERE!

I was honored to host a live video stream with my fellow test group friends for the majority of these last 80 days & we are closing this program out together!! We started this together & we are finishing together!

You guys … when we were asked to be a part of the test group the code name was ADD - we had no idea what that meant or who the trainer was!

No clue!

Words couldn’t describe how thankful I am to Autumn Calabrese for creating such an incredible program! So I’m wearing my pineapple headband in honor of her & the crew today!

🍍🍍🍍🍍🍍🍍🍍🍍🍍🍍🍍🍍

BOOTY DAY 80 is going down now! I cannot believe it!

We’re so happy about today 🙋🏼🙋🏼‍♂️ haha!

▪️Final progress pictures for mom + dad to wrap up & document our first round of this amazing workout program we tested out.

▪️Church & family breakfast!

▪️ … and pizza + pumpkins tonight! 🍕

Completing this program means more to me than I can probably put into words but I’m going to try.

This was much more than a weight loss journey. These 80 days were incredibly challenging. Physically, yes. But, even more so mentally.

First I have to share something. Loren was super fit before starting this program. He could have easily just cheered me on from the sidelines. He could have just loosely followed the workout calendar or meal plan. But instead - he was 200% in with me. As if HE was the one with weight to lose in order to get healthy again. He treated this seriously and to me, that was the biggest support. He made this part of the journey that much better because our house wasn’t divided. We had one goal. One mission. And we absolutely crushed it together.

For the first two weeks of this program - both of my legs were covered in bruises. Those loops look innocent but there was a lot of frustration to work through with those suckers. My body was hurting. So sore. Every single day.

Timed nutrition on its own is a challenge. Timed nutrition as an exclusively breastfeeding mom is a whole new level of challenge. I conquered that. I did it to show other nursing moms that they do not have to limit their fitness and nutrition experience because of nursing. I added 500 calories to my diet & skipped “peak week nutrition” and my supply was amazing. I think that speaks volumes about the amount of CLEAN WHOLE FOODS we eat to fuel us in this program.

There were times when I just ate whatever was in the fridge and fit my plan. I ate cold broccoli many days. I had spinach with virtually every meal. I followed THE PLAN. No excuses. And that’s why I got results.

We traveled.

We stayed in a hotel for a WEEK in Boston while attending all day conferences. We ordered groceries and stuffed them in our mini fridge. We ate raw spinach every day + sweet peppers and skipped the desserts and Italian foods.

We traveled to ENGLAND for a week and stayed on plan! We booked a flat instead of a hotel so that we could cook our own food. Again, we went to the grocery store. We made a choice. Full disclosure : Loren did enjoy Fish & Chips on our last night in London - but that was it!

We got a membership to ANYTIME FITNESS for the week and I worked out at 11pm London time almost every night while Roux napped & put him to bed at 2am London time. He was sick and just wanted to stay on American time. So we made it work. Not a single workout or meal missed.

I’ve felt frustrated with my weight loss journey postpartum most days. But I will tell you… having the WEIGHT to lose made me take this 80 Days so seriously. I knew I couldn’t “afford” to cheat and still make the progress I wanted to make. So, that meant I was all in - the whole time.

That commitment reminded me of my first program I did in 2013. It was a 90 day program. P90X. I committed to the entire 90 days. No cheats. No skips. Graduated that program ON my birthday. That commitment built a healthy confidence inside of me that I had been missing.

This program did the same.

Sure. Treats and coffees and delicious meals out while we traveled would have been fun. Being flexible about what I ate when feeling so sleep deprived would have been convenient

But NOTHING tops the satisfaction I feel when I’ve followed through with something & completed what I set out to complete.

NOTHING.

The food will be there. The memories don’t have to revolve around food. I proved that to myself these last 3 months.

Loren and I were looking at pictures last night & I came across a picture of me during our SHIFT SHOP workout. I was about 4 months postpartum.

My eyes FILLED WITH TEARS.

Seeing my body change the way it has these last 5 months is emotional for me.

Because I have never worked so hard for something in my life. I have worked my 🍑 off every single day. And it made me cry! Because of how freaking hard it’s been.

That’s the thing though. I can now say - it NEEDED to be this hard for me in order for me to learn what I’ve learned and in order for me to experience what I’ve experienced. It had to be hard. I couldn’t be a bounce back mommy and still learn what I’ve learned.

I appreciate my body more than I ever have. Ever.

I’m so proud of myself. I don’t need anyone to tell me whether or not my “Beachbody programs” work or not. Don’t need their opinions.

No one can ever take my personal story away from me.

Every program I’ve ever committed to has worked. Because I’ve worked. My body responded. But only after my mind decided what it was going to do.

My MAIN hope in sharing my story and my journey is that a handful of women would just go for it. Would move out of their own way and see what happens when they really commit to something. If it’s your health and fitness journey - join my family. Do it with me. Why not? What do you have to lose?

You still enjoy foods and treats. You just stay focused and dial it in for seasons at a time.

80 Day Obsession was that season for me. It was 100% worth the commitment.

Thanks you guys for all your support during these last 80 days.

80 Days of home workouts during nap time.

I have more angles & progress photos I will share over this next week - but here is the most real-life, selfie mirror, bruised leg, walking out of my bedroom view of what this 80 Day COMMITMENT did for me.

I shared a bit of my journey this morning - so I will keep this one short.

When I finally decide to do something, I do it …. ’til the death. The interesting thing about this decision - I never once dreaded a workout. I enjoyed the whole process. So much so, that I didn’t want it to end.

That’s the weird part about this whole thing - in the beginning I wasn’t sure I wanted to commit to 80 days. In the end, I wished it was 160 days.

Sometimes you just have to get started. You have to push out all the other thoughts + doubts and just put one foot in front of the other.

The more action you take — the more motivated you feel.

DREAMS require a person to S T R E T C H, to go beyond average.

You can’t reach for a dream and stay safely mediocre at the same time.

🙅🏼‍♀️ The 2 are incompatible.

When we are too UNINSPIRED to dream, when we SETTLE FOR AVERAGE, we may be tempted to blame it on others, on our circumstances, on the system. But the truth is that ….

OUR M E D I O C R I T Y IS ALWAYS A PERSONAL CHOICE. ✌🏼

Ouch! {I am ALWAYS learning from John Maxwell!}

We all have dreams. Which ones have you buried lately?

I’m a dreamer & a doer. Sometimes we go through phases of growth & seasons of drought.

🌱 I choose to grow & reach & stretch.

I hope to encourage more women to do the same.
I hope you’ll join me. REACH OUT. I would love to help you.
