Pregnancy cravings can be something fierce but this time around I am SO grateful to have the 21 Day Fix and 21 Day Fix Extreme in my life!! I can satisfy those cravings for Chinese foods but also stay on track with my meal plan and nutrition for the day!!

I was craving Mexican food (what's new?!?!) but didn't want to blow my 21 Day Fix plan. I'm a sucker for chips and salsa at those yummy restaurants so I decided to whip up a Fajita Bowl at home instead!! For me I try to really keep eating out at restaurants for special occasions. It's too easy to get caught up in going on a regular basis and then before you know it your results have slowed or stopped all together, no matter how many grilled chicken salads you eat!!
Toss and enjoy!! 21 Day Fix Containers = 1 Red, 1 Green This was one of the recipes I'll be creating for my 21 Day Fix Extreme test group that will be opening for registration on February 2nd! If you would like to get your hands on this program before anyone else please fill out application below and shoot me a message on Facebook so we can get you started!
So if you follow my blog, (duh who doesn't?!?! JUST KIDDING...but you SHOULD in that upper right corner right there!!) You know that I did the 21 Day Fix program earlier this year and fell in LOVE. I have pretty much made it my way of life as far as how I eat, what I eat and my fail proof portion control system. I have gotten awesome results and I have really found my SOUL MATE WORKOUT!! Autumn has made this so simple with easy to follow meal planning guidelines and short, effective 30 minutes workouts. I honestly never thought it could get better than this....UNTIL NOW!!
Coming February 2nd 2015 we will be introduced to the 21 Day Fix EXTREME!!! What the heck is that you ask?!?!? Well its her fast approach to portion control and fitness to lose weight in a short amount of time. This round will take intensity, guts and drive to deliver even MORE amazing results!
When this program comes out I will be 8 months pregnant so I am ABSOLUTELY looking forward to this as my post baby workout. I have done several rounds of the 21 Day Fix, I still follow the meal plan to this day, 33 weeks pregnant, and it has helped me to have the most healthy, happy pregnancy. I can't wait to take it to the NEXT level!! I will be having an EXCLUSIVE Test group for any woman interested in this program. I will also be taking my current accountability group curriculum and taking IT to the NEXT LEVEL to match the intensity of this program. Think new recipes, new daily challenges and lots of FUN!!
*This program is for people who have done other extreme fitness programs and are ready for the next level
*This program is for 21 Day Fix graduates.
*This program is for athletes
*This program is for anyone who has an event to attend in a short amount of time and wants to get amazing results in 21 days!!
What are the workouts?
*There will be 7 different workouts to keep our bodies guessing, getting that shredded, ripped physique.
*They will be 30 minute workouts combining steady-state aerobics, resistance training, and explosive power moves that target every muscle in the body-to help you get shredded in a short amount of time. There will still be a modifier to follow the whole way through so you can start at your own level. ** All workouts except Yoga Fix Extreme will require weights. You can get these pretty reasonably at your local Target or Wal-Mart.
What is the meal plan?
You will get your color coded, portion controlled containers and you will get meal planning guides INCLUDING Autumn's very own 21 Day Countdown to Competition plan. You can follow exactly what she eats, down to a T.
Whats different from the first 21 Day Fix program is that the EXTREME version does not allow for wine or chocolate. Honestly when I did the Fix the first time I didn't drink alcohol at all and I think I may have had 1 or 2 Fix approved treats with chocolate chips but I totally could have passed it up. I just wanted to try some of the tasty recipes. I also did not eat out for the 21 days. I wanted to prove to myself that I was capable of doing anything I set my mind to for 21 Days and if you checked out my results above I'd say it was totally worth it!
Heck any plan where I can eat chili, meatloaf and enchiladas WHILE staying on plan is all right by me!!

It’s no mystery that I LOVE my job as a Beachbody Coach, but have you ever found yourself asking "what the heck does she actually DO???" I know before I started on my own transformation I didn't even know that Beachbody coaches existed!!
So if you've found yourself wondering about this "Beachbody thing" I'm always talking about how would you feel about a sneak peek into my life as a coach? Don't waste any more time wondering HOW I am able to help people get in better shape or how I can help my family get into a better financial situation! Come see for yourself!! Some of the most popular questions I get asked and what I'll be covering in the group:
What does a Beachbody coach DO?
How do I make money?
How do I earn those FREE trips?
Do I need any fitness experience?
How much time is required of me?
I'm not at my goal weight yet!
I dont have a big social network!
Can I do this from home?
….And much, much more!!! I KNOW that many businesses have a bad wrap for being a pyramid scheme (NOT Beachbody, plus that's actually illegal by the way!!!), people fear that they will have to SELL or BUG their family and friends, or other icky stuff that comes along with working from home. But I'll be the FIRST to tell you if ANY of that was true I would have been gone, A LONG TIME AGO!!
I
am running a 5 Day Coaching Sneak Peek group starting January 19th to show you FIRST HAND what it is we do. To clear up any misconceptions you might have and to give YOU an opportunity to ask any questions you have in a safe, no obligation, closed Facebook group! Just want to watch and be a fly on the wall? That's ok too!!
When I first signed up as a coach it was honestly to get my 25% discount on my own products but it didn't take long at all for me to realize that there was something BIGGER here!! I joined an apprenticeship program and I have
not looked back since. What's great is that with this company you can work part time or full time and I was ready to go ALL IN!! I was looking for an opportunity to stay home with my children while still being able to have the adult interaction that I needed, to be able to travel and still earn an income from where ever I was. I was not being fulfilled in my previous job and honestly couldn't imagine working for someone else for the next 30+ years. Becoming a coach has allowed me all
of those freedoms, allowed me to meet the most AMAZING positive people, travel for FREE with my hubby, to set my own income, set my own hours, and the ability to
literally transform lives! HOW did I get so lucky?!?! If this sounds like something you'd love
to check out I encourage you to bring a friend too! Because everything
is better with a friend RIGHT?!?! So lets get started!! Shoot me a friend request HERE,
let me know you're interested in the 5 Day Sneak Peek and I will get you added to the group. We are starting
Monday January 19th, but if you're reading the after we've kicked off,
don't worry!! I will be hosting these monthly and I can always work with
you 1:1 to answer any questions you have!!
As I reach the 30 week mark of my pregnancy I sat here reflecting this past weekend about my two pregnancies and how they've been SO very different. Not so much in the stereotypical "one was a boy one is a girl" difference but in the way I have PERSONALLY made them different. You often hear women tell stories of gaining 50+ pounds during pregnancy or say things like "well the baby wants it" or "I'm eating for two after all" and that couldn't be further from the truth!! YES ~ there are absolutely some women who just naturally gain a lot even while being healthy. But the eating for two myth is crossing into scary waters.
With my first pregnancy I walked on the treadmill for a couple weeks and ate healthy for the most part. I managed to gain only 32 pounds which is great, but it was the POST baby that was the problem. I knew nothing about nutrition and completely stopped working out. My body was not prepared to shed the weight, in fact it held on to it for almost an entire year!!! My son was 8 months old and I was still wearing maternity pants. I was sad, depressed, hid from pictures and avoided all social situations like the plague.
I knew with this second pregnancy I was going to go into it having a game plan and continue to strengthen my body DURING the pregnancy so that after will be a little easier. Between my two pregnancies I was able to successfully lose 50 pounds, then SURPRISE!!! Baby #2!! I'm not gonna lie it has been hard to see the scale go back up but I've stopped weighing and started just doing what I know is right. I have been following the 21 Day Fix program and I feel a million times better. The funny thing is that I've already met that 32 pound weight gain this time, but I look smaller, I weigh less and I feel strong! So how am I doing it?
I continue to follow the 21 Day Fix meal plan (with my doctors approval) and in fact for the most part I stay in the same calorie range I was in before I got pregnant. If I'm more hungry I have an extra snack of fruit and nuts or veggies and hummus or hard boiled eggs but always staying within the programs guidelines. I love how this program is NOT about starvation, counting calories or depriving yourself of certain food groups. And that it IS about eating a well balanced diet, incorporating correct portion sizes and following a clean eating lifestyle. PLUS I get to enjoy my chocolate Shakeology every day fueling both myself AND baby with a daily dose of nutrition!!
I am also following the 21 Day Fix workouts as well. I was able to do them 100% until about the end of the second trimester and now its a bit more modified. Its harder to push up the same weight when I have an additional 30 pounds on my body too. I feel very strongly about listening to my body and not trying to push it too far.
So with 10 weeks remaining, I will continue to follow the 21 Day Fix meal plans, follow the modified workouts and start transitioning into walking as the big day gets closer!!
If YOU are pregnant, thinking about getting pregnant or are a new mommy thinking about doing the 21 Day Fix I would LOVE to chat with you!! Of course its a must you talk to your doctor too but I just LOVE to share my journey with everyone and share how you can make this a simple lifestyle change while keeping both you and baby healthy!!
Ruben kicked off his Insanity Max 30 journey last week. And although I can't join him right now due to being 27 weeks pregnant, it is DEFINITELY a program I see my self doing in the future!! From the workouts I watched him do last week I can tell that the program is tough. It's gong to push you to your limits, I mean thats the point right?!?!? BUT what I was really glad to see is that not only is there a modifier, there is a track so that you can watch just the modifier! So really its great for people at ALL levels of fitness as each person pushes to their own individual "max". I witnessed Ruben push himself and reach all new levels of calorie burn on his heart rate monitor that I've NEVER seen him do in such a short amount of time. I mean 600+ calories in 30 minutes....Ok I was TOTALLY jealous!! And that crazy burn brings me to my next point...nutrition!!
So Ruben has definitely come a long way in his nutrition over the last two + years but sometimes we all fall victim to bad habits and old ways. I mean we are all human right?? But I have personally seen him buckle down and get amazing results several times before and I'm CONFIDENT he will be able to do this again, no problem!! Shakeology is not a problem, breakfast every morning on the way to work. I think he even whips his up faster than I do these days!! And the Insanity Max 30 program comes with an AWESOME meal planning guide! And lucky for Ruben the guide not only includes portion sizes but it's also broken down in the 21 Day Fix format (um...HELLO, thats totally my PASSION) so creating his meal plans is not only going to be totally easy for both of us but we can both eat the same thing and not have to be eating separate meals all week!! Check back weekly for Ruben's progress updates and weekly meal plans. We will account for the holidays and a little splurging but they will definitely be thought out and not just mindless eating and drinking!! If you'd like more info on Insanity Max 30, other Beachbody programs or Shakeology please shoot me a message, I'd love to chat!! And for more frequent updates on Ruben's progress and how we are staying accountable through the holiday season follow me on Facebook!!
