21 day FIX


What is the 21 Day Fix?
This is a lifestyle-changing health and exercise program.  The biggest thing that makes it different from other programs is that it is meant to change your habits permanently, not just long enough for you to lose a few pounds and then go right back to your previous habits of eating and exercising.  It is not an easy program but completely doable for ANYONE!!!
It is portion control and whole foods – you choose from a list of approved foods and use them to fill your daily color-coded containers.  There is a 7-day exercise program that goes along with the diet plan that you are meant to do every day (30 minutes each) and repeat 3 times for a total of 21 days. Autumn Calabrese is the personal trainer and she is AWESOME!



My Journey
 When I started the program, I wasn’t completely out of shape but I wasn’t where I normally was in my fitness. I had just moved home and was trying out new workout places. The Y, Orange Theory and different Yoga studios around town. I could not commit to any of them because I didn’t love them!
I decided to do the 21-day fix program back in 2016, I had success with the workouts but did not follow the meal plan or drink shakeology, therefore I did not get the results I was hoping for! After I decided to jump in again I took the program serious and followed the workouts, meal plans and shakes!  I spent a LOT of time on Pinterest browsing meal plans and recipes- hardest part for me.
The first week was a struggle but I DID IT! I WAS SO SORE..BUT I was not going to give up on myself plus I made GOALS. I wanted to be in shape for IVF and not feel like complete crap! I am a very impatient and competitive person so the only person I was competing against was myself and I was not going to lose! Nope not happening LOL. I also had a coach who was motivating me and keeping me accountable. I don’t think I could have done it without her! I’d say I followed the meal plan about 90% of the time. I allowed myself to have a cheat meal each week but I did do my exercises each day. One cheat meal a week did not sabotage my results, if I thought they would have I wouldn't of had that cheat meal.  

 Each day you do a different workout
Monday- Cardio
Tuesday-Arms
Wednesday-Legs
Thursday-Pilates
Friday-Cardio Fix
Saturday-Dirty Thirty (full body)
Sunday-Yoga
Results
OK this is the good part- I wasn’t expecting to have results like I did… I lost 5lbs and 5inches and started toning up- MY BUTT WAS BACK!!!
 BUT the most important thing I gained was getting my confidence back. I just felt better, happier and stronger! I made the choice to continue my Beachbody journey because of the results I was seeing and feeling. This is when I decided to become a coach. I would not promote something I didn't believe it- I highly recommend starting with this program if you are looking for a life style change. The products work and there is just no denying it! I am proof the products work.

If you need motivation to kick start your health,  message me and let me help you like my coach helped me!!!

Egg Retrieval & The 5 Day Wait

Goodbye Shots!!!!!! The trigger shot was a success. Egg Retrieval Time!! It really doesn't hurt-Promise! Incase you don't know what Egg Retrieval is.... Here’s how it works: the doctor will use an ultrasound to identify your ovaries. Your doctor will gently guide a needle attached to a catheter through the vaginal wall. One by one, the eggs will be drawn out using light suction. They’ll be collected in test tubes labeled with your name number, which will then be handed off to the embryologist—an expert in the science of oocyte cryopreservation (the technical term for egg freezing). Before you leave the office,  you will know how many eggs were retrieved and moved to the embryology lab. The doctors write the number of eggs on your hand! The next day they call to let you know how many of your eggs were able to be fertilized, they consider this day 1. They continue to update you on day 3 and 5. If you have embryos make it to day 5 they are considered good and re...

Why I believe in Beachbody so much!!

Ok so I know you're all thinking of course she would do a blog about Beachbody.. well yes I am and No I'm not sorry about it!!!! YES at first I thought this whole thing was a scam but it kept coming back to my life over and over again so I took the chance and here I am! This company has changed my life in 3 short months and I know it can change so many other lives. I don't want anyone to miss out on it- you can't hate me for that!!!!!😍 Like I mentioned before after surgery in January things started going south really fast. I wasn't doing anything I loved.  I hated that I knew something was wrong with me and I couldn't fix it. Basically I WAS NEGATIVE NANCY! Fast forward to May- I was over feeling negative!! I followed a girl I use to work with on Instagram and was immediately drawn to her life. She was a teacher who quit her teaching job and made her passion (beachbody) a job- it was her new reality and now she was a stay at home working mom! I was over...

Health, Exercise and Supplements

Before I started IVF I began Beachbody. I was depressed and beyond stressed about everything which caused me to gain 20lbs and feel absolutely horrible about myself. I fell in love with the programs and actually stuck with it which eventually lead me to fall in love with it! Not only was I able to lose the weight I was able to change my entire life-yes from working out and eating healthy. I wasn’t depressed anymore; my confidence was back and I was positive and happy again! Since it helped me so much I decided to share my experiences. Starting November 1st, I will be preparing for my second IVF cycle (Jan 2018-unless I get cold feet). Since my last cycle failed I am changing up a few things and giving it 150% instead of 100%!! I JUST WANT IT TO WORK!!!! HEALTH- I will be going Vegan- well I say vegan but I eat fish and shrimp. But NO chicken, pork, red meat, cheese or bread.  YES, it is hard but its only hard for the first week or two, after that it’s a breeze!! I will share...
