I mentioned last week that my nutrition has been less than stellar the past couple weeks so last week I spent sometime going over my meal plan (something I had been lacking to do) and planned out what our week would look like. With summer quickly approaching and tank tops and shorts everywhere I have found that my body responds the best and quickly to weights (SAYY WHAAAT). I used to be that girl that FEARED weights; that I would become bulky and big. Last year I completed this 60 day program and was BLOWN away with what my body did. SO I decided to take it back to Hammer and Chisel and knock it out before we get knee deep into the spring. I am a HUGE cardio girl so to supplement I have finally started hitting the pavement again with Jayden and plan to get a few runs in a couple times a week. On those days I will definitely increase my protein intake to compensate. I have also found after completing the Whole30 2 times that my body responds well to a high fat, high protein, low carb nutrition plan. So while I am using my Fix containers to measure my foods and not going completely Whole30 more Paleo inspired with a few modifications. I struggle with Hypothyroidism and PCOS so I try and stick with low GI foods.
My week went a little like this; Thursday planning, Friday shopping and Saturday prepping. Over the past 4 years I have found that when I fail to prep ALL THE WAY, the less likely I am to WIN my week. With as rough as the past few weeks have been there was no way I was leaving anything up to chance. Saturday I got busy and prepped ALL of mine, the kids and Eric's breakfasts which included; Egg & Veggie Hash Bowl, Egg Cups for the kids, 21 Day Fix Muffins, cut up all fruit and veggies for snacks and made up as much of the dinners to freeze that I could. Here's a look at what's on the menu for the week.
You have exactly 3 months (if not sooner) until you will be bearing your legs, arms and possibly breaking out the swimsuit. When you are out shopping the stores are packed with shorts, capris and tanks as a pleasant reminder that maybe you haven’t been as dedicated to your health and fitness over the winter! The first time you try on a pair of shorts it’s blinding, RIGHT!! This just happened to me! The good thing is that those white pasty legs can be fixed with a quick trip to the spa for a spray tan!
But that spare tire or muffin top is not going to banish with the tint of the spray tan! Instead it’s the mad dash to find something to make a change right now! How many times have you said to yourself, “Oh I will just not eat for a few days and then I will be back on track!” Then 3 days later you are binging because you have barely eaten. Or you sign up for a gym membership with great intentions and 2 weeks later you haven’t lost a pound and you are frustrated!!!
So I am coming at you with this BATTLE OF THE BULGE fight to summer challenge group.
If you are wondering what it's all about, here's some of the info:
Workouts you'll do AT HOME (or take to the gym if that's your jam) that will change your body--best part is that they are no more than 30 minutes long. Results in 30 minutes, 2% of your day people!
Grocery lists and a flexible meal plan that can fit any type of diet preferences, and ismaintainable!
Daily accountability, support, recipes, and meal ideas in a secret online group with me and other fun new friends
Private one-on-one daily coaching from me and you'll get my cell for the any questions you'll have!
I hope that my journey helps you to take charge of your fitness and nutrition and you crush your health and fitness goals this spring.
If you do not currently have a coach and would like to work with me please contact me here to join my March 20th Battle of the Bulge Challenge Group.
If you guys have followed my journey at all you know that for the past 4 years I have been a health and fitness coach with Beachbody. You also know that YESTERDAY was a pretty exciting time in our world because Beachbody just announced a digital ALL ACCESS PASS to every single fitness program we have for 2017. This is going to be HUGE YALL. I will be honest and say that streaming has been something I never really understood until recently NOW we have access to everything under the sun right at our fingertips. Think about we have AMAZON PRIME, PRIME NOW, Netflix, Hulu, all kinds of things that allow us to stream things instantly. NOW you can do the same with your fitness its like Netflix for your HOME GYM.
Why is this such a big deal?? Well lets face it our world is changing and quickly. News is being delivered more swiftly through social media, how we shop, everything is becoming more technologically savey. It's now the EXACT same thing with your fitness. You guys know that the secret to my success for the past 4 years (through 2 babies 13 1/2 months apart and countless medical issues) has been consistency and hard work. I didn't say perfection I said consistency. Nutrition and good ole fashioned exercise + accountablity and support from my challengers and my team have been VITAL. I know that the secret to my success was that final piece the SUPPORT. How many times have you started a gym membership, a personal trainer, a bootcamp, only to fall off when things got hard. The success I have had at home with Insanity, 21 Day Fix, The Master's Hammer and Chisel, Core De Force, Shakeology and the relationships I have built have forever changed how I live my life. I am thankful that I took a chance on a rare opportunity because I was ready for a CHANGE. I love that I work for a company that is always quick to stay ahead of the game even with our ever changing society. They didn't give up they found a new innovative way to help others reach their health and fitness goals and not just for 21 days, 30 days but FOR LIFE.
So yesterday our CEO Carl Daikeler announced a truly incredible opportunity for our customers to create a lifestyle change that makes a difference vs a crash diet! The All Access ANNUAL (read a WHOLE YEAR, not 21 days, not 30 days, not 3 months) Pass to Beachbody On Demand. This will give you COMPLETE and TOTAL access to EVERY single fitness program, nutrition guide ever made from Beachbody. Programs like 21 day Fix, P90X, Insanity, The Master's Hammer and Chisel, Yoga Retreat, CIZE, T25, Core De Force + access to ANY new program released in 2017 INSTANTLY. No more buying separate programs. Starting on December 27th you will be able to purchase either an annual membership or the Annual All Access Beachbody on Demand + Shakeology Challenge Pack. This is not only going to be an incredible opportunity for you to see success in 2017 but to truly change the lifestyle you live and for me to help you get better results.

Yall do you understand what is at your fingertips is worth thousands and thousands of dollars and for 12 months you get access to EVERYTHING and NEW content. Like that is INSANE. But the reason I love it the most is because it allows ME to HELP YOU be successful and see more results. We work together closely to decide what program is going to fit best for YOU. Let's say you start with 21 day fix which 90% of my challengers do and then instead of continuing another round we can modify to help you succeed with another program as you move forward or maybe you are pregnant right now (love my pregnant mommas out there) and want to focus on a health pregnancy and delivery you can do Autumn's maternity workouts and then once you are cleared post delivery you can focus on getting your mom bod back. All the while have ALL access to ME and the support and accountability of our challenge groups.
Each program listed on BOD comes with the entire workout calendar, the complete nutrition guide and tracker sheets and you have me to help walk you through each and every step. PLUS the game changer for me comes from the support and accountablity you get from myself and the challengers who are on their journey with you. If there is anyone who understands that life happens; read any blog post before this one and you will I GET IT. Our groups help you get back on track even amidst the life.
This is your INVITATION to let me help you make yourself #1 priority and this ANNUAL ALL ACCESS PASS; because lets face it as moms sometimes we just don't make that happen. But as I have learned on my spiritual journey God designs us to take care of US so that we can pour into others. We will have structure, flexibility, accountablity, guidance then LET'S DO THIS THIS.
