Want to know what else?!?!

Each participant will be eligible for winning $500 or more through the daily Challenge.

What do you have to lose?

Or maybe I should ask – what do you have to GAIN?!?!

That’s the mentality I had 4 years ago and I am still going strong TODAY on my personal journey and I have had the HONOR of bringing in HUNDREDS of other women to help them do the same and I look forward to helping YOU TOO!

Ready?! Let’s go! Here’s what you need to know:

What are the requirements?  

  1. I must be YOUR coach. If you are not currently working with a TeamBeachbody coach you can create a free account by clicking here.  Create Free Account

  3. Commit to a workout program of you choice and Replacing 1 meal a day with Shakeology. Why Shakeology??  It simple:  it’s amazing and it is going to make you FEEL better as far as daily energy, it will complete your daily nutrition, it is one meal you don’t have to think about, and its quick, convenient, and honestly while you may be thinking “the taste though” it truly is delicious! But here’s the kicker – if for some crazy reason you’re not convinced – you can actually return the bag – FOR A FULL REFUND! I leaned into that GUARANTEE when I started and if you’re sitting on a pile of doubts I encourage you to too!
  4. Commit to our CHALLENGE GROUP – to staying accountable not to JOINING but to FINISHING. TOGETHER. I don’t want you do just make a purchase – I want you to make a LIFESTYLE change and FEEL the impact of your positive daily actions!

You’re worth it.

2B Mindset Weight Loss Program

• Wanted to lose weight, but don’t like to exercise
• Exercised, but struggled with nutrition and didn’t see the weight loss you wanted
• Found yourself unable to exercise due to injury/illness, but wanted to lose (or maintain) weight through better eating habits
• Loved food, eating big portions, and feeling full
• Been tired of yo-yo dieting, yet wanting to maintain your lifestyle
• Wanted an easy-to-follow weight loss strategy without strict rules–no cutting food groups, counting calories, or  eating small portions

If you said YES to any of the above, I have a solution for you! 

2B Mindset coming in May2B Mindset is a weight loss program and breakthrough new way of eating that will have you feeling full and satisfied not hungry and deprived.

No more counting calories, points, measuring food or cutting food groups you get to eat the foods you love and live your life.

You will learn what to eat and when for your body and your weight loss, but what makes this program unique is that it will change your mindset and help you create a better relationship with food and your body-so you can lose weight happily and learn to keep it off for good.

The program was created by registered dietitian, Ilana Muhlstein who earned a Bachelor of Science degree in nutrition and dietetics from the University of Maryland, sits on the prestigious Executive Leadership Team for the American Heart Association, and leads the Bruin Health Improvement Program at UCLA.

Yup. She knows her stuff!

While most kids dream of becoming pop stars or famous athletes, Ilana’s early inspirations were the knowledgeable registered dietitians she met every summer at fat camp. She became one herself the first chance she got. She used everything she learned to lose 100 pounds.

Since then, she’s built a thriving private practice in Beverly Hills and helped hundreds of people lose weight happily–and keep it off.

And now I get to bring it to your fingertips as she reveals all of her tried and true weight-loss secrets with the upcoming launch of 2B Mindset and my exclusive PREPARE YOUR MIND virtual accountability group!

This is not a diet.  This is a mindset shift.

But make no mistake, the 2B Mindset can help you lose weight—happily—without feeling deprived or hungry, without counting calories or cutting out whole food groups. It addresses the #1 issue with weight loss and weight management —food.

Exercise is critical for living a healthy, functional life —but as they say, abs are made in the kitchen — and that’s the problem 2B Mindset is designed to solve.

I have often relied heavily on snack bars stashed in my purse or the glove compartment or the diaper bag or desk drawer for those moments when the HANGRYness attacks and you need a solution FAST which is why I am BEYOND thrilled for a new bar to hit the market: BEACHBARS!

Who would these bars be PERFECT for:

Current clients/customers/ who are on a health and fitness journey towards becoming the best version of you:

  • It fits into existing meal plans I share in my BOOTCAMP groups and works as a complement to our daily superfoods with a 1/2 YELLOW, 1/2 RED, and one SPOON container equivalent.

Busy? On the go? Prone to snacking? 

  • 7 in 10 adults snack 2x per day, but snacking on the wrong foods can work against health and wellness goals
  • With 10g of protein and just 5–6g of sugar per 150 calories, BEACHBAR gives you more protein-dense calories than the average retail snack bar

Trying to reduce that sugar intake? 

  • Many store-bought bars are made with too much sugar and carbohydrates • BEACHBAR is a good source of protein and fiber without the extra sugar • It’s the responsible sweet treat/indulgence

People who want to boost their protein intake

  • It’s a good source of protein with 10g in each BEACHBAR

• Protein-Dense Calories This crunchy, chewy snack bar has 10g of protein, 4g of fiber, just 150 calories, and only 5–6g of sugar. Calorie for calorie, BEACHBAR has a higher proportion of satisfying protein per calorie compared to four other leading snack bars.

• Exceptional Protein-to-Sugar Ratio Both flavors of BEACHBAR are made with whey protein crisps, versus some other leading brands which are made with a fruit base. This means BEACHBAR delivers more satisfying, muscle-promoting protein (10g) than actual sugar (5–6g) per bar.

• Indulgent Ingredients for Great Taste Research shows taste is the #1 decision-making factor in choosing a bar and BEACHBAR delivers. Packed with nut pieces and nut butters, crunchy protein crisps, dried fruit,‡ and real chocolate chips, BEACHBAR will satisfy any sweet tooth.

• Flavors It comes in two delicious flavors, Peanut Butter Chocolate and Chocolate Cherry Almond.

• Not All the Bad Stuff Finally, both flavors are gluten-free, have 0g trans fats, and no artificial colors, flavors, or preservatives.

• If you want the indulgence of a bar packed with nut pieces, nut butters, real chocolate chips, and 10g of protein with just 150 calories, your choice is BEACHBAR.

BEACHBAR combines crunchy protein crisps with whole foods including fruit and nut pieces, real chocolate chips, and creamy nut butters to deliver delicious, satisfying goodness in every tasty bite. Peanut and Almond Nut Butters A source of protein and fiber that adds a creamy texture. No one likes a dry, crumbly bar. Dried Cherries A flavorful source of beneficial dietary fiber and phytonutrients. Plus, they taste great.

Whey and Pea Protein Crisps Whey protein delivers all nine of the essential amino acids. Pea protein is a plant-based protein source that also supplies key amino acids. And they’re satisfyingly crunchy.

• Calorie for calorie, BEACHBAR has a higher proportion of satisfying protein and fiber per calorie and a lower proportion of sugar per calorie than four other leading snack bars.†

• What does this mean? It means that YOU are getting a delicious, satisfying snack bar with less sugar (5–6g) than protein (10g) per bar and 4g of fiber.

• The chart below reflects the grams of protein, sugar, and fiber per 150-calorie portion of BEACHBAR and four competitive bars.

BEACHBAR is Low-Glycemic. The Glycemic Index (GI) measures the effect of a food on blood glucose. Low-GI foods release their carbohydrates slowly, causing a lower blood glucose response.

This helps avoid a large spike in blood sugar and the “crash,” or dip, in blood glucose that often follows and may cause you to feel sluggish. If this weren’t benefit enough, low-GI products may also help with staying fuller longer.

That’s why we designed BEACHBAR to be Low-Glycemic. In fact, BEACHBAR actually has less sugar than protein

Double chocolate brownies

So what do you do when your new nutrition plan calls for a carb load day right in the middle of the week?

Bake some brownies of course!

I tossed around some ideas of what we would enjoy on what we call, REFEED day, but decided I’d stick to my clean, gluten free choices, because well…this mama doesn’t need a belly ache going in to tomorrow’s leg day!

I have found other recipes that used chickpeas in desserts and quite frankly just assumed they would be AWFUL but I kind of have this thing about cleaning up my sweet treats and this was the perfect opportunity!

And when both kiddos devoured them after school, I know I picked right!!!

WHAT YOU NEED:

  • 1 (15-oz.) can of chickpeas (garbanzo beans) or cannelli beans drained and rinsed
  • 1/4 cup butter, melted (or extra-virgin organic coconut oil)
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup pure maple syrup (or raw honey)
  • 2 tsp. pure vanilla extract
  • 1/3 cup organic unsweetened cocao powder (I used dark cocoa powder)
  • 1/2 tsp. baking powder
  • 1 pinch sea salt
  • 1/4 cup semi sweet (or dark) chocolate chips

Chickpea brownies ingredients

WHAT YOU NEED TO DO:

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees
  2. Line the bottom of a 9×9 baking dish with parchment paper.
  3. Lightly coat the baking dish with cooking spray.
  4. Place cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt in a blender or food processor.
  5. Next add beans, eggs, maple syrup, melted butter, and vanilla extract.
  6. Blend on low then increase speed, blending until smooth.  Chickpea brownies blended
  7. Stir chocolate chips into the batter by hand.
  8. Pour the batter into the baking dish.  It will be thick.  Spread it out evenly.
  9. Bake for 25. Use the toothpick test to determine if they are done. If you insert a toothpick and it comes out clean they are done!
  10. Cool and cut into 16 squares.

Servings: 16 and ONE YELLOW to my fellow portion fixers!

WHAT IS REFEED DAY?
After 6 weeks of working out super hard, eating super clean & depleting our glycogen stores it’s time to give them a little replenishing.

This is not to be confused with a cheat day. Our macros were still balanced at each of our timed nutrition meals, we’re maintaining proper portions, we’re still eating every 2-3 hours and we’re keeping our other foods lean & healthy. But we’re also enjoying some not-so-typical meals!

The hubs and I have been rocking the 4:41am wake up since January 15th and I think its safe to say WE SET A NEW HABIT!

And I think its safe to say and I am proud to say that this little arms, abs and booty program is WORKING!

80 day obsession week 4

I would love to share with you that I am down 5 or 10 pounds or something drastic but guess what – the scale isn’t budging over here but I have LEARNED that the scale does not DEFINE my worth…and to me that is irreplaceable!!! #NonScaleVictoryForTheWIn

To those of you who have been watching my journey and supporting me and the hubs along the way THANK YOU! One of the best things I have done for my personal HEALTH is being upfront, honest and transparent!

While I may not personally know each and every one of you the comments and encouragement you provide to use truly goes a long way!

4 weeks in and digging the lifted belly button….

And my most self conscious area is SLOWLY lifting and I am leaning into the COMPOUND EFFECT and realize that this program isn’t 21 days or 60 days but its 80 days and I know with consistency I am going to reach my goals!

Day 1 vs. Day 26

********************
So what’s next with phase 2? 
For starters we are RAMPING up!
This next phase of the program raises the intensity and in turn INCREASES our food.

While I am happy with the visual results I realized I have been eating in the same bracket/caloric level for nearly 4 years and I am going to take the expert’s advice and go from a “weight-loss” formula to a “maintenance” formula.

Mamas embracing ME time

To the busy mom who is sitting there, watching, reading, thinking “I’d love but I just don’t have the time/the money/the motivation”  to join one of those online fitness and health challenge group I want to ask – how can you afford NOT to INVEST IN YOU?

Now before I get into this I want to say I truly UNDERSTAND that feeling of I can’t. I do…when I bought my first challenge pack exactly 4 YEARS AGO I had to contemplate it for WEEKS. Until I hit that tipping point – where my DESIRE to change outweighed my DESIRE TO STAY THE SAME! But it got there through a pivotal moment.

My Time Hop “on this day” app reminded me that around this same time – 4 Years ago today I was asking for prayers as we were rushed to Children’s Hospital holding tightly to VERY sick little boy.

Colt in childrens 4 years.JPG

My 9 month old’s deteriorating health was dismissed as “a bad cold” before we got in to see HIS doctor who quickly sent us by ambulance to Childrens Hospital to get the best care.

We received his diagnosis: Pneumonia, double ear infection, bronchiolitis, and very high fever.

We spent two tiring nights there and while my little man attempted to get comfortable and rest I simply watched him.

Sleep just wasn’t happening for me and I remember when he finally settled I grabbed my phone for a mindless midnight scroll.

And there it was…

  • Amazing side by side transformation from someone I didn’t even know
  • Shared by an old college friend
  • Talking about a program launch coming soon
  • With the possibility to lose 5-15 pounds
  • Where you are required to drink a chocolate & peanut butter superfood shake
  • And be surrounded by other LIKE minded women WHO JUST GET IT  

And, well my SCROLL – STOPPED ✋️✋️✋️

I saw the importance of GOOD HEALTH. Good health for myself and my FAMILY.
I saw a NEED to ditch the fast food, weekly pizza splurges, countless ice cream trips and become more DISCIPLINED.

Because I don’t only have to keep myself healthy but I have to keep MY FAMILY healthy and they are forming their daily habits based off my ACTIONS.

I was still holding on to a few post baby pounds and at that moment I decided to stop wishing and START DOING.

And the rest is HISTORY!

February 2014 – December 2017

For 4 years now I’ve been on my own journey WHILE ALSO helping other women get started and stay accountable to their health and fitness goals.

I can’t seem to think: what if we never had that scary experience…would I have seen things differently? Would I have ever caught a glimpse of that simple post?

It was “JUST a challenge group” at the time but what I learned in that group became a pivotal point in my life!

YOUR HEALTH MATTERS.

I know its an INVESTMENT and I hear so often how HARD it is for MOMs to INVEST in themselves when there are so many other things you can MUCH MORE EASILY INVEST in.

I know you’re busy. I’m busy.

We’re all busy. But your HEALTH is not something to put on the backburner.

There will never be a GREAT TIME to make a change – you have to make a decision TO JUST DO IT.

I have opened enrollment in my MOMS ONLY –  30 days of “Mama NEEDS ME time” accountability group and I cannot wait to lock arms with you.

Together we are going to BEGIN A JOURNEY.
If you’re interested in JOINING me – read on for the requirements and check the application at the bottom:

What are the requirements?  

  1. I must be YOUR coach. If you are not currently working with a TeamBeachbody coach you can create a free account by clicking here.  Create Free Account
  2. Complete the Challenge group application below so I can help you select the best program fit for you and make sure this challenge will help you meet your goals.
  3. Commit to a workout program of you choice and Replacing 1 meal a day with Shakeology. Why Shakeology??  It simple:  it’s amazing and it is going to make you FEEL better as far as daily energy (so you can chase those kiddos), it will complete your daily nutrition, it is one meal you don’t have to think about, and its quick, convenient, and honestly while you may be thinking “the taste though” it truly is delicious! But here’s the kicker – if for some crazy reason you’re not convinced – you can actually return the bag – FOR A FULL REFUND! I leaned into that GUARANTEE when I started and if you’re sitting on a pile of doubts I encourage you to too!
  4. Commit to our CHALLENGE GROUP – to staying accountable not to JOINING but to FINISHING. TOGETHER.

I am well aware this group will be an INVESTMENT for you. But I have learned over time when you put in nothing you get out nothing. BUT when you INVEST in yourself the RESULTS are beyond WORTH IT.
You’re worth it.

TOGETHER WE ARE STRONGER

80 Day Journey Q&A

YOU GOT QUESTIONS AND IVE GOT ANSWERS

80 day obsession week 2 day 12

We just wrapped up week 2 in my 80 Day Launch party and let me just say the results are speaking for themselves.

I’m not talking so much about the visual changes as much as the way people are FEELING as a result of taking their HEALTH -AND- FITNESS to the next level.

Here are just a few testimonials:

80 day launch party week 2 testimonials.JPG

And honestly the list went ON AND ON!!!

In the last two weeks I’ve received some repetitive questions about this new 80 Day journey I am following (and leading for others) along with a few questions on how the timed nutrition plan works and I thought I would address some of the most common questions here. If you think of anything else not answered please feel free to comment below or email me:

Q: Do you just drink shakes all day?

A: Ummmm NO! I do enjoy my superfoods shaken daily and have found immense relief using a post workout routine chocolatey slice of heaven in a cup to reduce the muscle soreness but my sweet friends YOU eat to fuel your bod here….and it comes in various forms.
80 day obsession shakeology
Q: I bet your food is so bland and boring! So do you just munch on carrots and lettuce and call it a day?

Ummmm again, NOOOOO!
You’re EATING a good bit of WHOLE, natural FOODS!
And I am actually in the lowest calorie bracket and chances are in phase 2 I’ll even be eating more.
This is just a sample of the food I eat in a day. No I am not just “eating to eat” and YES I do really enjoy these foods!

80 day obsession a days worth of food

Q: But it just seems TOO HARD to follow, especially on the weekends. 

A: My simple answer: if you want something you’ve never had you have to do something you’ve never done

But in all honesty…YES it takes planning, a lot of planning, and prep & YES it takes time, YES it takes discipline but it’s only “HARD” when you allow it to be hard.

And when you EMBRACE THE CHALLENGE & CHANGE all in one swoop…anything is possible

We follow the meal plan on the weekend just as we do the week day!
Here’s a quick glance at what week 3 will look like for us:

Q: I’m not going to follow the nutrition plan, but I’ll do the 80 day obsession workouts, okay?!?

A: That’s totally fine but if you don’t follow the nutrition plan, then you are not “DOING THE PROGRAM”.

The program comes in two pieces, the fitness & the nutrition. To completely do the PROGRAM you must do both pieces.

Can you do the program and get good results?
Sure you can.
But to get the results you see from the test group participants you really do need to follow the timed nutrition aspect as well.

Let me clarify this is not a quick fix. This is simply a clean balance of whole foods SPECIFICALLY designed with macro combos with 5 meals each day. You’re not CUTTING any food group out and therefore do not have any phases back in. Its a lifestyle you could continue and the results, while they may not be DRASTIC, they’re going to be RESULTS I can sustain and THAT is something I can benefit from!

Week 1 of my 80 day Journey

THE RESULTS ARE IN!!!!

Week 1….

80 DAY OBSESSION WEEK 1 RESULTS
.5 pound weight GAIN and FLAT EVEN on my measurements 🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️🤪🤪🤪
After following my Timed Nutrition and rocking some of the HARDEST workouts I’ve ever done…😵🙃😵

And yes…I’m making a point to SHARE this!

WHY?

Because….
80 day obsession goodbye pics
Because, last week when I shared my Goodbye pics I also shared I would be documenting this journey publicly – the good, bad and ugly…although I will admit, when I put that post up I totally expected some IMPRESSIVE week 1 results 😜😜😜

As in results that showed my bloat gone & with the abs be poppin’…

Truth is….well that didn’t exactly happen.

The scale says I weight the same, well actually slightly MORE…
The tape measure says NO change
The bloat is still hanging around…

But I still felt I had to share this…

How many of you have ever felt like you ROCKED the week, nailed it in the gym, ate super clean, and yet it felt like it was for NOTHING 🤷‍♀️💁‍♀️🤦‍♀️🙋‍♀️🙋‍♀️🙋‍♀️

80 DAY OBSESSION DAY 1

And sometimes it’s just easier to go and eat the cookies right?!

But honestly it’s THIS TRANSPARENCY that allows me to reflect, course correct and also make sure I KEEP GOING! I guess you could argue that THIS is single handedly one of the best PERKS of my JOB!

I took a step and reflected…

And for some reason, I have avoided dairy for the majority of the last 18 months but thought “its on the approved list I’ll enjoy it” – but actually MY BODY HATES DAIRY. So I need to adjust that…just because its on the list doesn’t mean its right for you! You have to learn to listen to your body and realize that even good/healthy foods can have a different effect on us all.

As a FORMER Chrons Disease sufferer, I found dairy is just something to LIMIT, so I am going to continue my vegan superfoods, discontinue my nighttime whey based recharge drink and monitor my post workout recover drink…because, well honestly I’m not so sure I’ll walk without it!
recover and fruit with website.PNG
Its far from a total loss, because I saw improvements in my strength in just week over week and was able to increase my weights on several moves today. And I KNOW my consistency, IN TIME, will pay off.

80 DAY OBSESSION WEEK 1 DAY 4

I have women in my accountability group who lost over 7″, who lost 4 pounds, who worked out 6 consecutive days FOR THE FIRST TIME EVER and who had some of the biggest WHYpower & WILLpower moments in their lives ….THAT is a WIN in and of ITSELF!

And my kids jumped in and joined us for a family sweat session over the weekend – BY CHOICE and it warms my heart to see them – imitating the behaviors of US.

80 DAY OBSESSION WEEK 1 DAY 6

-So this week was not a loss
-I am not quiting
-The process isn’t broken
-I just have to tweak my approach.

I look at it as a bit more of a set back for my COMEBACK!

Stay tuned…next week will be different!!

80 DAY OBSESSION WEEK 1 DAY 7
We’re still going to have fun

We’re still going to get up at 4:41 am each day

And we are going to FOCUS in on our nutrition!

Here’s mine and my hubs meal plans for the week ahead!

If you missed it last month – you’re in luck because its BACKKKKK!!!!

‘A Little Obsessed’ is Autumn Calabrese’s teaser program to ‘80 Day Obsession,’ and it is back on Beachbody on Demand, for FREE!!!

Now everyone – not just Beachbody on Demand members – can try it from December 20th to January 15th FOR FREE and YOU can be part of my ONLINE – PRIVATE accountability group so we can complete this program TOGETHER.

If you’ve been THINKING about joining my 80 Day LAUNCH PARTY group and just hadn’t pulled the trigger – YET – let’s START HERE and I truly believe you’ll get and understand what we’re talking about!!!

Let’s chat the basics

WHAT DO YOU NEED TO DO:

If you’re not already working with a coach, you can sign up for a free Beachbody account using this link.

This will give you the digital streaming access to the 5 workouts included in ALO as well as ME as your coach.

WHAT EQUIPMENT DO YOU NEED:

Maegan Blinka, Megan Blinka, fit couples, fitness for the family, Under armour tennis shoes, What is 80 day obsession, when is the 80 day obsession sneak peek, How to access 80 day obsession, Autumn Calabrese's new workout program, A workout program that focuses on abs, arms and ass, Daily Motivation, Online accountability group, Holiday survival group, Mission Maintain accountability group, Prepare to be Obsessed, A little Obsession, Where to buy resistance loops, how long are the 80 day obsession workouts, what equipment do you need for 80 day obsession, amazing fitness results from home workout programs,

WHEN DO WE START: 

We will be completing 3 rounds

Opportunity 1 – December 20 – 24

Opportunity 2 – December 26 – 30

Opportunity 3 –  January 1 – 14

As I mentioned above, A Little Obsessed is the “teaser program” to the 80 Day Obsession full program to launch January 15th. This group is here to not only give you a taste of what the program is, but to also PREPARE you for the full 80 day obsession program!

You can join us for 1 2 or all 3 rounds HERE.

How does this teaser differ from the full program? 

2 things:

  1. The workouts are shorter in ALO vs. 80 Day (30 min vs. 45/60 min)
  2. The nutrition plan for ALO introduces us to TIMED NUTRITION using what Autumn calls “the workout block” where the full program will go into MORE detail on the optimal foods to eat and when.

But again, not to worry…one of the best PERKS of working with a coach (ME!) is that we get to figure this whole thing out TOGETHER.

If this sounds like something you’d like to do please take a moment and fill out the application below or request to join my PREPARE TO BE OBSESSED

group and we can connect!
