Learn To Be Obsessed Challenge - Phase 1 Starting

Phase 1, or block 1 of my newly created challenge, Learn To Be Obsessed Challenge began YESTERDAY! It's a challenge that I specifically created to not only get me through the new year and NOT gain weight, but to also build my base fitness level to be ready to take on the next newest workout program to be released by Beachbody, 80 Day Obsession.

After having an emergency Appendectomy, and recovery for 6 weeks, I didn't stay true to my nutrition and wasn't able to workout so I fell back in my progress I gained over the past year. It is important for me to stick with my goals and work hard to get to where I want to be.

We are beginning with 21 Day Fix, a program that I have had great success on. I lost 20 pounds a couple of years ago by doing multiple rounds of 21 Day Fix and I am excited for the results I know I am going to get!

She's A Wild 1 Cake Smash

Poor Elyse was sick this weekend and we actually had to cancel her party on Saturday afternoon, because her fever was getting higher and she couldn't keep anything down. But thankfully by later Sunday she was feeling so much better and was even excited to eat her cake! So...we let her go to town. The theme for her party was She's a wild one, wildflower. So my decorations were flowers, teal and bright pink.

Learn To Be Obsessed With Your Fitness and Health Challenge

I am struggling you guys! This ginger needs some structure in her life right now, and I am SOOOO excited about the newest workout to be released in January, 80 Day Obsession. But since my emergency appendectomy at the end of August and recovery I have been struggling to get back on track! And I want to be at a certain level of commitment, dedication and fitness before I begin 80 Day so that I reach my ultimate goal of 24% body fat. That means I have to LEARN to Be Obsessed.

Join me over the next 3 months in my exclusive group as we rotate through the different programs to help us learn to be obsessed with taking care of ourselves inside and out! We are combining daily exercise with learning healthier eating habits.

Each workout program has a modifier so it is perfect for any fitness level and allows you to increase your ability as you get stronger! Then, beginning January 15, we go right into 80 Day Obsession! And this isn't just about exercise. It's about learning to put the right foods in your body to help fuel your body and help your body be more efficient. With this challenge you will have access to meal plans, recipes and guides to help you stay on track with your goals!

I have it set up to hit the ground running with 21 Day Fix, 7 day a week workouts for just 3 weeks. Then we go into 2 rounds of Shift Shop, 6 days a week workouts. Then 21 Day Fix Extreme for the next 21 days. After Christmas the focus will be on nutrition and getting that on track for sure (the goal is to do that before with the other programs too, but really getting it dialed in on Extreme and we get access to the nutrition plan on Jan 8 to prep!) And then we begin the 80 day Obsession on Jan 15.

All programs are available with your Beachbody On Demand membership. To be part of the group, you must invest in yourself with a Beachbody On Demand Annual Membership bundled with Shakeology with me as your coach to get you the results you deserve.

When To Eat To Lose Weight

I am a firm believer in feeding my body throughout the day. I feel better and my body feels better when I am getting 5-6 meals a day. That means eating about every 2.5 hours! Check out my sample meal plan schedule below:

Think of your body as a fireplace. It constantly needs wood to keep it burning. Without any wood, the fire burns out. And when you miss a snack or meal your body can actually slip into a starvation mode and you will get HANGRY! (Hungry/angry). Once your body goes into starvation mode from not eating enough or skipping meals, and does it on a regular basis, your body starts to hold onto the food it does get so that it has energy to burn later. Thus...aiding in gaining weight not losing weight.

If you can't remember when to snack or eat your meals, start by planning out your meals for the whole week. You can download this weekly meal planner in my FREE ONLINE COMMUNITY HERE. Then try prep them the night before by putting each meal in separate baggies or containers in the fridge marked with what time to eat them. WHEN YOU EAT DOES MATTER! One another thing is to set alarms on your phone to help remind you when to eat (that's what I do!) Remember it takes 21 days to create a habit and 90 days to create a lifestyle change!

Check out these other tips to help:

• Try eating at the same time every day. Consistency builds habits.
• Eat a good sized breakfast to break your fast from sleeping
• Consider an earlier lunch and a smaller dinner
• Don't eat 7pm
• Get a good night's sleep. Aim to get 7+ hours a night (I have an alarm on my phone to go to bed by 10:30pm every night.
• Eat within 45 minutes after you exercise to help your body replenish glycogen and repair your muscles.
