80 Day Obsession results, weight loss, and before & after pics

80 Day Obsession was not a program I expected to lose a ton of weight on. Not because it's not possible, quite the opposite- I have seen a TON of people getting amazing results! It was more that I didn't expect for ME to lose a lot considering I had a lot of travels during the program, had to take a week off while skiing, and didn't follow the eating plan super closely.

Much to my surprise, however, I noticed a big difference in my waist and legs last week when I accidentally grabbed a pair of jeans out of my drawer... you know the ones- the jeans in the wayyyy back that are too tight but you keep them around "just in case." Last time I wore them I had to keep yanking them up and the marks from where they were digging into my waist lasted for hours!

I hadn't done laundry so I was down to the bare bones in my closet. I grabbed these jeans not realizing that they were my "too tight" pair and they slipped on easily and fit me perfectly. It wasn't until a few minutes later after wondering why I don't wear these jeans more often that I realized which pair they were!

After doing my measurements today, they confirmed the same. I lost 5 lbs and also 2 inches off my waist and my body fat was down 3%. When comparing my before & after pictures, I could definitely see the most difference around my midsection and thighs.

Needless to say, I am THRILLED with these results, but I am most happy about how strong and fit I feel!

It's been funny because I started round 2 of 80 day Obsession a couple days ago and I was amazed by how easy the phase 1 workouts felt compared to phase 3 that I'm used to. I hadn't even realized there was that much of a difference in the difficulty of the phases!

I am also so grateful for the support from the friends and community that has been there through this program. We really felt like a team and it meant the world to me to be doing this program (virtually) with all of them! I'm so thrilled to be doing around 2 with them again!

If you would like to join us, we would welcome you with open arms! Time to feel our best as summer rolls our way!

Country Heat Day 1

Can you relate to this? The past couple months, I've been feeling like I just can't get ahead. I've been fairly consistent with my workouts, but the summer brings a LOT of parties, get-togethers, and trips and I find that just when I start to feel like I'm getting back to normal, something comes up to derail my progress. Don't get me wrong, I am ALL FOR living life to the fullest and enjoying fun dinners with friends, some wine, and sharing in the joy of life that social activities bring, but sometimes it can be really hard to keep your health and fitness on track at the same time! This summer my clothes have been fitting tighter, my digestive system has felt off, and I just haven't been feeling as good as I normally do. It's hard to feel your best in LIFE when you don't feel physically as good!

Just to be clear, I am ALL about loving myself at every point in the journey. Even when my weight creeps up and my clothes are fitting tighter, I love myself for all that my body is capable of doing, I appreciate my health, and I remind myself that sometimes with all we have going on in life, it's just not possible to do it all (but I AM proud of what I AM doing)! But you know when you just feel yourself needing to reel it in a bit? Yep, that's where I am. I can still love myself and be gentle with myself, while DECIDING to focus more diligently on my fitness and nutrition. It's time to course-correct and improve in that area of my life. I was talking to my friend and coach, Nicole, yesterday and I told her I am feeling FOCUSED and DETERMINED! I'm ready to take this next 30 days by storm!!

Now some of you might think that a program like Country Heat may not be the best way to really crack down on your fitness and/or lose weight (that's what I thought at first too). WRONG! I have been seeing the test group results as they've become available and have been BLOWN AWAY! My coach, Jennifer, was in the test group and I got to see her go through her 30 day transformation. Not having a lot of weight to lose in the first place, I was amazed by how she still lost 7.5 lbs in the 30 day program! Then I just kept seeing result after result from the people I knew in the test group: 10 lbs, 18 lbs, 5 lbs, 17 lbs, 16 lbs, 7 lbs, 9 lbs, 13 lbs and the before/after pics looked amazing!! Autumn said there were even 3 or 4 people from the test group that continued on with 2 more rounds of the program and lost 60 lbs!!! 

The other thing I LOVE about this program is that it's FUN! There's no equipment, no burpees, no extreme workout. I can work up the motivation to do just about any workout but I didn't have to go through that mental process this morning when I geared up to do it because I was actually looking FORWARD to it!! I tried 2 of the sneak peeks recently and already knew how much the music in the program motivated me to go all-out with the moves (and I would all of a sudden notice I had been SMILING the whole time)!!

Here's my day 1 "before" picture! I am ready to rock and roll and see what I can do over the next 30 days! More importantly, I'm excited to get back to feeling GOOD and have FUN in the process!! I will keep you posted- you'll certainly be along for the ride with me! Clip from my first workout will be posted shortly :) AND, if you'd like to join too, I would love to have you in on the action!! We have a Country Heat group starting next MONDAY!!
