5 tips to help you stay on track with 80 Day Obsession with your workouts and meal plan!

• Get in the right mindset! Do you what the results everyone is sharing? or do you want to make your own results up? Yes that is a trick question because you ultimately want your own results but you are motivated by the results you’re seeing all over the place right? I believe so! So you need to get into the mindset that “if i want the results being shared, then I NEED TO DO THE PROGRAM THE WAY IT WAS DESIGNED” and that is to pair the workouts with the timed nutrition! 

• PLAN: Plan your week, from when you will grocery shop to make your meal plan to actually prep!
• Planning your week out will help you succeed: Plan what time you will workout. Plan what day you will go to the grocery store, What day you will write your meal plan out. What day will you take care of your body. (yes reward your body with a bath or massage or time to sit and relax). and plan what day you will prep all of your food for the week (I love to do it on sunday!)
  • I workout in the morning, so I wake up an hour before my workout and have my pre workout meal.
  • I grocery shop on Saturday mornings.
  • I meal plan saturday night or sunday morning.
  • I prep Saturday things in the crockpot (shredded chicken, turkey chili) and everything else sunday.
  • and I rest/relax, bath, or massage on saturdays!
• SET ALARMS!!! You ay have a slew of alarms set for everyday from wake up to eating your meals, but you will be so grateful because it will help you stay on track when you get caught up at work or at home! If you need a second alarm to wake up/workout, do it!
• SUPPORT: Let your family, friends, coworkers, and neighbors know what you are doing!
  • They can help you stay accountable. They may question it and they may knock it- but you now have people watching you succeed!
  • They will know when you turn down dinner dates or nights out on the town!
  • Maybe they will join you!
  • I have a group of ladies I text in the morning so we all stay accountable to getting up and crushing our workouts without making excuses to not wake up or to snooze. 

• IS YOUR WHY BIG ENOUGH? Why do you want this program to succeed? Why do you want to succeed? What is your reason on why you want to be fit and health? Do you care enough about it to push through every single day even when you are faced with obstacles? I truly believe that if you have a big enough reason to want to succeed you will, but if it doesn’t matter to you- you’ll let the excuses come in! For me I want to be health and happy with my kids! I want to be able to run around with them and have the energy to keep up with my 3 very active children! I want to be healthy and be around forever! I want to watch them have kids and then to be able to run around with their kids. THATS MY REASON for never giving in or giving up on myself! What is your reason???

Yes these are my results shared above. in just 26 short days I lost 10.4lbs and 14 1/2 inches around my body! My journey is mine and i’m super proud of how far Ive come!

You can find my meal plan here. Along with that the other change I made was wearing a post baby belly band. Picture below- but what it does is helps me hold my core in while working out- being postpartum almost 9 months now- I knew I needed some change for my body to change. I have been working out every day since being cleared at 6 weeks post baby… but my body would not change- i would barely lose lbs (i think a total of 6 in 8 months) and lost a good amount of inches… but nothing consistent! I finally feel this program will help the drop consistently- which is what we need to see to stick to it right?

As I finish this first round of Core De Force, I will clean up my diet- I will add warm lemon water to my morning routine, and I will be on the look out for more support and challengers to go side by side with me!

I was not only weighing myself on saturday’s, but I would also measure and see if any inches were lost! There were some weeks I would not lose weight but would lose inches and vice versa! Weight loss journey is more than what the number on the scale says, it is about how you look and feel! If you are Eating the recommended CLEAN calories, working out daily, and drinking plenty of water- you will lose weight and inches!

I have found over the last 2 years, that muscle weighs the same as fat but takes up less space! When you are working out, whether it is lifting weights of cardio- you will be gaining muscle, muscle burns fat and in return helps you lose inches but not necessarily weight! This is why I started taking my progress pictures weekly and measuring my success by how clothes fit! So I saved an outfit from when I was in college (NOT SURE WHY) but finally 6 years, 2 kids, and 80+ lbs gained later…… I tried them on! GUESS WHAT IT FIT!!!!

its not always how much you weigh, it is how you feel, and what you look like! It you are happy in your skin you will glow- it will show how healthy you are making your lifestyle!

What is your “progress outfit”? Do you have an outfit or pair of jeans that you would DIE to fit into?

The day I decided to jump on the Beachbody Bandwagon was when I hit rock bottom, I was MISERABLE, Depressed, and super Sad because I let my body get to this point without doing anything to change! I was taking my anger and frustration with myself out on everyone else around me, people that did not deserve it and were there to help me! I took the leap of faith and bought P90X off of an informercial with a credit card and on the payment plan because 1 I did not have the money and 2 I was not sure this was even going to work for me! 2 years later (after failing twice I decided it was time to go in full force) So I had a support group that helped me, supported me, and gave me advice to stay on track! (Now we call them Support/Challenge Groups). I got so much support that i needed to share this with everyone! So i did my duty as a Beachbody Coach and recruited other Mommas to join me on my journey!

Fast Forward 2 years and I have never felt better! I have completed 90% of beachbody’s programs, There are several from low-high intensity, 10 min- and hour+, and from dance to weights! There is a program for everyone and with the help of Shakeology, the nutrition, and our support groups,  you are guaranteed to get the results you want in the time frame of the program!

This is my progress thus far! 168lbs to 138lbs…. and MANY MANY MANY inches off! Look at the face if nothing else! Depressed to HAPPY!!!! Crazy to see how my body and mind have transformed other the years and how much I can help others out there because I have been there and done that!
