My Progress so far, 21 days in with 80 Day Obsession

Y'all can I just say that I'm LOVING this new program. I was already a fan of Autumn, so I should've known. But I was a little worried about timed nutrition, no treats, or cheats for 80 days, and these longer exercises.

I'm here to tell you.....it's TOTALLY WORTH IT!

I've been on the struggle BUS for the last year, as I'm going through MENOPAUSE...and well it hasn't been too nice to me. In fact, I've had many symptoms....mood swings, hot flashes, not sleeping, but the one that has me so upset is the weight gain!!!!

I've worked hard for the last 4 years to stay in shape by eating healthy and exercising regularly, only to be caught off guard by this hormonal MESS! I've been sharing about this on my fitness page, and my family now calls me MENNIE! LOL...you have to laugh, so you don't cry.

So this is week 3 of Phase 1 and can I tell you how excited I was to compare day 0 to day 21. You see the scale hasn't been budging very much. I did peaked last week and I have lost 4.6 lbs and 4.75 inches. I decided to not weigh this week and just check out my photos, I think I'll weight next week at the end of phase 1.

My takeaways so far from 80 Day Obsession:

1. Beware of exercise moves that have an Animal name.
2. Make sure to do the self care on Sunday and other days to take care of yourself.
3. Get plenty of sleep! You will feel and perform better when you do.
4. Meal Prep is a MUST to stay on track with your Timed Nutrition.
5. Keep it simple. I usually repeat my pre/post workouts meal each day.
6. I strongly suggest the performance line. I am currently using energize, hydrate and recover.
7. Make sure you have a support group! It helps with motivation and to stay accountable.
8. SHARE your GOALS with your family and friends so they can support your success.
9. Create a VISION board and have your goals. For example, for me I have a trip to Mexico with my husband so I want to be and feel my best! It will keep me motivated on the days it gets hard!
10. Have fun and ENJOY the process! If you're not having fun what's the point. :-)

I'm excited to be in the test group with Autumn, but I also have my own group of challengers completing the program. If you are interested we are starting another group on February 12. Let me know, I'd love to share my enthusiasm with this new program and help you achieve your GOALS!
