80 Day Obsession: Half Way Mark

I'm 40 days / halfway through this 80 Day Obsession program that you have probably been hearing about and honestly, I LOVE IT! The workouts are challenging, but the cast is amazing and helps take your mind off of how hard things are. Totally felt amazing when I was matching the trainer in weight on some of the moves. BADASS for sure! But honestly, I'm feeling amazing. Not only have I made huge progress since I started but I don't even have to think about being consistent with my workouts. They just happen. I know I have 6 workouts a week and I'm doing them. No more inner monologue trying to talk myself out of it. I do it. And that's that.

Stats:
Weight: Lost 2.2 from starting weight
Inches: Lost 6.25 inches total

The nutrition side of it has been more difficult for me. Forgetting containers, missing my timed meals. I haven't been perfect everyday but I am trying. I learned that if I don't put the food on my plate, I'm more than likely to forget to eat it. Like for some meals I have 2 green containers. The second green container is usually 10 baby carrots, but I tend to forget to grab them, or the baby needs me, or I start doing something else and forget completely. So making sure I have everything I need when I sit down to eat is key. When I realized that, things got better!

DAY 40!!! I have done 40 workouts now! I’m more than halfway through the program and I am getting amazing results. And I still have 39 days to go! Don’t question if you can or can’t do something. You won’t know until you try! Ready to start your 80 Day Obsession journey?

Push Past The Negativity

When life throws you lemons, just make some lemonade and move on. We all have those times where we are afraid of being judged or looked down on. And this happened last week. When I got a comment on one of my pictures. "That girl isn't fit". On a post specifically about how I knew I didn't fit the "stereotypical" mold for what a fit person looks like, yeah, it was weird. But you know what I realized. I felt sad for that person more than angry, hurt, upset. I had an overwhelming sense of sadness for them. Because most people who comment hurtful things, or not nice things, are jealous or just plain mean. Let's just say the person was the former. I have no idea who that person is or what they look like but what if they were plus size? What if they thought they could not be fit because of their shape or size? That exercise is a losing battle because it will never work for them. Because it never did in the past. They have tried too many times to count and they never reached their goal, or struggled to get there so much that they gave up.

It's ignorant views like this that teach the next generation what qualifies as pretty, fit or popular. I am a FIT PLUS SIZE WOMAN. And I am on a mission to help change the thinking of what is considered "fit". Like Lizzy, that plus size ballerina, or Jessamyn, the plus size yogi. 

We are breaking the normal /expected/ idolized stereotype. To teach others that we should support and cheer on anyone who is changing their lives and positively influencing thinking for the current and future generations. It's about change and embracing that change. What can you do to change the stereotype of what is healthy, fit and beautiful? Share our message. Share our pages with your friends. Spread the word that "hey, there are inspiring women of all shapes and sizes doing hard things now because they want to." Spread the word.

Plus Size Fitness: Butt Shaping Workout

I just graduated from phase 1 of 80 Day Obsession, and I had some amazing results in the first 4 weeks (see my results above!) I was actually surprised and wasn't even expecting my butt shaping results. But now, I want to share with you my favorite butt exercises from 80 Day Obsession! Curious about learning more about 80 Day Obsession? CHECK OUT THIS POST HERE!

** 80 Day obsession uses resistance loops. And for me, man, they roll (like in the picture above), but I still get a great workout even when they roll. They key is to use the right resistance level, and gradually work up to more and more resistance.

The key to every move is to squeeze your butt. When you get to a standing position squeeze as tight as you can. And for the moves on your knees, flex your foot while squeezing your butt.

Complete 3 sets of 10 reps. All moves can be done without weights, or resistance bands. I'm using them for the extra resistance and strength training! 

WORKOUT VIDEO:

//DO NOT BE AFRAID TO LIFT HEAVY!// Week 2 of phase 2 means we are lifting heavier because we don’t do as many reps in a row. I used to be terrified to lift heavy you guys! “I already have a ton of muscle! I don’t want to bulk up!” But what I was told then and now finally believe is that muscles burns more fat. The more muscle you have the more fat it will burn. And I’m doing a program, and eating the way I should be that will create lean muscle. Not bulk. 5 weeks completed now and my arms look smaller to me. My legs look smaller to me. My belly, most days, looks smaller to me. I’m burning fat! This is what exercise is for. To strengthen your body and help your body function better. I would rather look toned and defined with muscle on my body than skinny any day of the week anyhew. And as a plus size gal, my body can already move around a lot of extra weight. Don’t be scared to use 15, 20, 25 or more weights! But build up to it. Today I retired my 5 pound weights. I won’t be using them (I think) anymore in this program. I need to challenge myself more. So! Get out there and work up to lifting heavier! 3x10 format today. Each move was done in 3 sets of 10 reps. #strengthtraining #workout #fitness #fitmom #strongnotskinny #strongwomen #booty🍑 #strongbody #mom #fitmom #fitmoms #fitginger #ginger #bbg #plussize #plussizefitness #weightloss #weightlossjourney #80dayobsession #imobsessed #healthybody #autumncalabrese #imdoingit

Overcoming Challenges To Turn "I Will" Into "I AM!"

I have never done a program like this before. I am pushing myself to trying new, hard and awkward things that a year ago I would have said was too hard, or way above my level and just half assed or not even attempted in the first place.

Honestly there has only been one other time that I was able to push past those mental blocks of "you can't do this". When I was training for my half marathon while pregnant. I had made a goal with myself before I got pregnant that I was going to run that race no matter what, pregnant or not. And I did! And I will never ever forget the feeling of crossing that finish line with my best friend hand in hand.

This past summer, I promised myself that I was going to go all in with this program when it came out. And I am. I have been doing the toughest workouts I have ever done, pushed past the mental barrier of "I CAN'T DO IT" and being able to say, YES, I AM ALREADY DOING IT!

It is so empowering overcoming challenges.

But it doesn't happen unless you try. Don't be afraid of trying new, hard things. You can adapt. You are so much stronger than you think you are. The thing that often times holds us back the most, is our own mind. But once you push past that, you can do anything!

Here's to another day of loving myself, and not only surviving another workout, but finishing stronger in the end both mentally and physically!

//WHEN IT’S HARD, YOU JUST HAVE TO KEEP MOVING!// Day 27/80: DONE! I knew from other people’s comments that this workout was going to be challenging. And my mindset going in was just, do the move and don’t stop till she says to. I went at my own pace. Tried to keep up as best as I could. I even surprised myself a few times with being able to do the moves that initially looked hard. I have never done a workout program like this. I have never pushed myself as much as I am. I have never pushed past that mental barrier of “just so it’ll as easily as I have been able to with this workout. Because I know it’s tough I’m not letting that stop me or get in my way! You are so much stronger than you believe and when you push past that mental wall that tries to stop you, you will realize how strong you truly are. Don’t give up and keep going. Your goal, your results are worth it to fight for every single day! . . . #motivation #inspiration #fitness #workout #80dayobsession #imobsessed #strongereveryday #plussize #plussizejourney #plussizefitness #plussizefitnessjourney #bbg #fitginger #mom #mombod #momof3 #goaldigger #worthit #autumncalabrese @autumncalabrese
