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...

What is Low AMH or Dimished Ovarian Reserve

Last year after they told me I had low AMH or diminished ovarian reserve I was like okkkkkkk what the hell is that....Obviously I had no clue what that meant and I'm sure you don't either!  I had a few people ask me "what exactly is wrong with you?!?!" So I figured I would make a blog about one of the 3 things wrong with me. For everyone who has reached out to me I really appreciate it. THANK YOU 💗 What is means..... Basically I don't have many eggs and the ones I do have aren't very good :( You are born with a certain amount of eggs and when they're gone THEY ARE GONE. You don't produce eggs every month you lose eggs every month! YEP opposite of sperm-go figure!!! Women with my condition can get pregnant, we just don't have forever to wait. The sooner the better because we will most likely go through menopause earlier than most. I really never put this together until recently, for the past 6 months my periods have been lasting 24-48 hours....

First IVF Cycle - Failed

Day 5 embryo update - This is the day an embryo makes it or doesn't make it! Unfortunately the 4 embryos we had did not make it to day 5 blast!! This is very crucial in the IVF world because day 5 blast gives you the best quality embryo. Honestly I did not understand what blast meant until they explained it to me, so here you go.... A healthy blastocyst often begins hatching from its outer shell, between day 5 to day 7 after fertilization. In a normal pregnancy the embryo would start attaching to the mothers lining or during IVF they transfer or freeze the embryos at this stage. At this point in the stage its ready to attach to the mothers lining. The doctors said if an embryo doesn't blast at day 5 then it usually means the embryo is not growing at a normal rate and most likely wont pass genetic testing even if it does blast at day 6. I was so disappointed and sad when I got the phone call- HOW IN THE WORLD DID ALL 4 NOT MAKE IT!!! But it is completely out of our contr...
