80 Day Obsession Packs

In order to achieve what you want to achieve, you must set yourself up for success. These packs were designed to help you do just that. 

Here is a breakdown on the different packs you can get your hands on.

MEGA CHALLENGE PACK (Best Value)

The only way you are going to get the best results is if you feed your body with the best fuel it needs to strive. This pack provides you with EVERYTHING you will need for the duration on the program and you will save $420! 
Why would you need the performance supplements? Here's the kicker-- you will be sore AF. I am not going to sugar coat it for you. Autumn has some tricks up her sleeves to make those muscles work. You will want to refuel with the Beachbody Performance supplements because they are QUALITY supplements. They work AMAZING and give you the fuel you need before and after your workout. I have been drinking Energize for the past 2 years (including during my entire second pregnancy) and it gives me that boost of energy needed to push just a little bit extra to hit my goals without the jittery mess and crashing later on. The Recover truly helps ease my achy muscles and replenishes what I broke down during my workout and prepares my body for the next one!

80 Day Obsession BETA TEST GROUP* CLOSED*


It's the most wonderful time of year if you ask me! Today is THE day most of us have been waiting for! The 80 Day Obsession packs are available in US, CAN and UK!!

If you aren't sure what I am talking about check out what the heck 80 Day Obsession is about here: 80 Day Obsession.

This hot new program isn't about becoming obsessed with working out, what you look like and becoming a nutrition nut -- It IS about seeing YOURSELF AS A PRIORITY. 
How many have you put yourselves on the back burner and it's all about the kids and everyone else? 

It's normal but it shouldn't be! Your family, your friends and everyone around you will be the happiest if YOU are happy and taking some time for yourself. Seriously y'all, I only had a little taste of this program during the sneak peeks but I am SO freaking excited for it to start January 15th! 
I know it will help transform your mind, your body and help you realize that you ARE capable of getting out of whatever rut you are in and achieving some life changing results.


Here are some bullet points about the program as a refresher: 
  • Autumn really helps guide you through this program as it focuses on your abs and booty. Even if you have weight to lose you are going to shed lbs, tone your WHOLE body and build lean muscle. (I don't know about you but I have a trip to Mexico coming up in April and am looking forward to wearing a Bikini again after 2 babies) 
  • There are 3 phases in this program over the course of 13 weeks with Sundays off
  • The workouts will range of 45-60mins and like ALL our programs there is a modifier
  • Autumn introduces timed nutrition which is a macro-nutrient plan that is timed to produce amazing results

My 80 Day Obsession Accountability Group is set to start with workouts January 15th. I will be there to help you with designing meal plans, the timed nutrition, sticking to your workouts, troubleshooting and of course FOCUSING ON YOU! 

Fill out the application below this article to RESERVE YOUR SPOT! 

This program doesn't officially load into the Beachbody on Demand library until January 15th but you can prepare and get your package starting December 14th. You will have access to the nutrition guide (your timed nutrition) January 8th to be ready for prep week. Unlike most of our programs, 80 Day Obsession will NOT launch on DVD. It will only be available through streaming on Beachbody on Demand. 


If you are like me, you probably have a MILLION questions regarding 80 Day Obsession. I will be going LIVE in the Test Group event page on Facebook Sunday Dec. 17th at 8:00pm MT (the replay will be loaded onto Youtube) Click HERE to go to the event page and click "Interested" to be notified when I go live. 

I am super excited to be right there alongside you. No, I haven't done the whole program yet but I have friends and fellow coaches who have and am amazed at their transformations.  I myself, have been through ALOT of programs so I can share my tips and tricks for how I've been able to stick with this new lifestyle for the last 2.5years. 

If you are ready to RESERVE YOUR SPOT in my close knit accountability group go to the bottom of the page to fill out the application. 

Each participant in this group MUST commit to:
  • Showing up daily and participating in the group (there is your accountability part)
  • Following the timed nutrition plan that is set for you and your goals (all the results you see have been when the participants follow the program and nutrtion)
  • Drink your Shakeology daily (I don't care when you drink it but that stuff is FO REAL and you WILL notice results if you continue with it for the duration of this group)
  • I must be assigned to you as your coach 
** HIGHLY recommended is the performance stack Energize and Recover but it isn't mandatory**


This group is my BETA TEST GROUP which means you all who join it will be the FIRST to go through this program! Everyone who goes through has an opportunity to win $500 just for completing the program and submitting your results! (if that isn't an incentive I don't know what is) PLUS you have a chance at being the Beachbody Challenge winner and getting additional money for your transformation. This group is serious biz and I am looking for those who are SERIOUS about changing their habits and rocking this program. We start January 8th for 1 week prep with workouts starting January 15th DAY 1. Until then, I am creating guides, a hub where you can go to find everything you need and a group! 

I will be running A Little Obsessed group from Dec.20-Dec.25(you can join if you want or follow me on any social media to see what it is like) Dec. 26-Dec. 31 and Jan.2- Jan.6. Anyone can try that first to see what you think and get a little taste of what to expect.. oh ya! the best part IT'S FREE TO TRY! 

ARE YOU IN?!

80 DAY OBSESSION

Introducing the newest program to our VIRTUAL STUDIO!






Autumn Calabrese's new program is designed to help you burn fat and lean out. Below is a look at what you can expect from this hot new at home fitness program before it comes out January 15, 2018.

What is 80 Day Obsession?

This program is a streamable at home program that promises you a nice round booty and flat abs at the end. Sounds ridiculous right? No lies my friends no lies. I have seen some awesome results from the test groups and will show later in this post. While Autumn is no stranger to creating at home fitness programs,  this one is designed for advanced exercisers who want to lean out and tone up. She is taking this program to a whole new level by filming 80 different workouts! So for those of you who get bored and can't seem to get excited about doing the same weeks over (like me) now you don't have too! Each day is something new!

Autumn mentioned that "it's all about the right workouts in the right sequence plus a target approach to nutrition"


Who is 80 Day Obsession Designed For?

I mentioned this program was created for "advanced exercisers" however if you fall into any of these below and NEED a program like this to keep you on track then its for you too.

Anyone who is wanting to:


  • build a leaner and shredded body
  • add curves without bulking up
  • get those flat abs (mamas if your like me you just want to find them again!)
  • get an extreme workout in at home while the kids play or baby naps

These workouts range from 45-60 minutes per day (at least you will know and can plan out your ideal time) and they are 6 days a week. The nutrition plan is macro-calibrated by a professional to get the max results each week.

Not going to lie to you and say it will be easy, because it won't be! You will be training like a pro and working with a super trainer that has helped change the lives of many! 

So will it be easy?? No, but it will be dang worth it!



Here are some results from the test group! 


Jamie N. has already lost 5 pounds and 10.5 inches in 27 days with 80 Day Obsession! "Thank you Autumn Calabrese! These 80 Day Obsession workouts are speaking to my soul. It's such a therapy session for me, and it's very much needed!" 


Joan C. has already lost 7.5 pounds and 11.25 inches in just 28 days! "I'm completely blown away by my 80 Day Obsession results so far! My favorite thing about the program is that Autumn is there doing every rep with you, laughing with you, struggling with you, and saying the right thing at the right time. It's incredibly motivating!"


Joyell H. lost 7.6 pounds and 3.5 inches in just 29 days of doing 80 Day Obsession! "80 Day Obsession has helped restore my belief in myself and what I'm capable of. Phase 1 was phenomenal. I can't wait to see what happens in the next 2 phases and beyond!"

** These are independent beachbody coaches and were part of the test group. Results may vary but keep in mind everyone works better as part of a group! Don't miss out on a spot to join our 80 Day Obsession Accountability group starting May 7th with prep week April 1st-6th and option to start A Little Obsessed April 23rd.

The Mental Loop.. Say What??

"All we do is think about the feelings that we are hiding"



Do you ever notice that once you have an argument with a someone close to you, something goes wrong at work, your kids get into trouble at school or something far worse, your mind tends to replay the situation over and over, you wonder what you did wrong? Or you may end up with all these feelings of fear, stress, anxiety and can't seem to shift your mind to anything else. 

This is just the way our brains are wired. 

Negativity tends to ALWAYS be around whether we want it there or not and through personal development I have learned how to address it and break the mental negativity loop. 

Here are a few tips that I have learned: 

1.Practice Gratitude

One of the fastest ways to get the negative thoughts out of your head is to take note of all the GOOD that is around you and all that you have to be grateful for. If you tell me that you have nothing to be thankful for I beg to differ. Are you breathing right now? Are you able to read this? Have you eaten anything in the last 24hrs? Gratitude activates a TON of benefits in your brain! 

2. Slow Down, Breathe Deep

People can get so stressed out and worry about almost everything. Most of the time they go from one thing to the next without even slowing down to get ready for the next thing and just end up piling stress upon stress. Because of this you may make rash decisions because you can't think clearly. When you feel this happening take slow deep breaths. Oxygen helps and you would be surprised at how such a simple thing can make you feel so much better. 


3. Look For the Good

For example if your kids are having trouble in school and you are worrying it's a good thing because it means you deeply care. Try focusing on the emotion behind that worry (the love for your children, the desire to have the best for them) without inviting any negative thought. You are great parents and you are doing the best you can! 

4. Is There a Theme?

Human minds are wired for repetitive thoughts. So if something similar happens that has happened before you will have repetitive thoughts and emotions. We are creatures of habit and it is hard to break those habits but it can be done! 
Check out this book for creating habits if that is something holding you back : The Power Of Habit.
Each time you find yourself thinking these negative thoughts replace them with a positive mantra like: "Everything is happening for a reason." "I will trust this process"

5. Use Your Imagination

The same area of the brain is activated when we experience everything for real and when we imagine something vividly. Using the power of our imaginations can help us soothe our brains when worry and stress has us down in the dumps. Most of the time we can't change the current situations as fast as we would like, the process of imagination can help create real changes in our lives. 

However, we must accept that we can not control everything. We can let that drive us crazy or just be happy with the things we can control which is our feelings. 

YOU ARE THE CREATOR OF YOUR LIFE. IF YOU BELIEVE IT. IT CAN COME TRUE.

DUMP MEAL Crockpot Stew


Who doesn't love stew? A great hearty meal that really is great ANYTIME of year if you ask me haha.

It is super easy to throw together, freeze and pull out to cook in crockpot whenever you need! If you are like us and don't own air conditioning, it is great to have dump meals prepared for summer time especially if you are always on the run! No one wants to turn the oven on when it is 30 degrees out with no air conditioning! Am I right?

Here is what you will need:


2 lbs stew meat
6 carrots
6 ribs of celery
1 onion
4 tsp thyme
2 tsp rosemary
2 bay leaves
2C peas
2-14.5oz can diced tomatoes
1 8oz can tomato paste
2 garlic cloves
2 tsp herb and garlic seasoning (I use Epicure)
2 Tbsp Beef Bouillon (I use Epicure)
2C diced potatoes

What to do:
Label Freezer Bags ( Crock Beef Stew, Add 2 Cups h20 or beef broth. Cook LOW 6-8hrs or HIGH 3-4 hours) 
Divide contents between 2 freezer bags.
 * Be Sure to write when you made it or 3-4 months after the day you made it as an EXPIRY date. 
Final Product



 Could it get any simpler!? Remember to share with me if you try any of the recipes! Use hashtag #LYPEats So I can find it on any social media!

Cabbage Rolls

Click on the picture ^^ to PIN

When my husband and I got engaged we decided since we are both Ukrainian, we would have our rehearsal dinner have pierogi (varenyky) and cabbage rolls! 

I want to share my cabbage roll recipe with you today! You can use them right away or do what I did a freeze them as part of post baby meal prep!


CABBAGE ROLLS



What you will need:

FILLING:
1 large head cabbage
2 lbs ground beef or turkey/beef
1 med onion
2 garlic cloves
salt and pepper
1/2C Brown Rice (cooked)

TOMATO SAUCE:
1 garlic clove
1/3C fried onion
2 15oz Cans Low-No sodium tomato sauce 
1/2T lemon juice
1/4C brown sugar
Salt and Pepper

What to do:
First core the cabbage. 
Boil cabbage 3-4 mins or until the leaves seem pliable enough. If you are halfway through and the leaves seem to get tough put in a microwavable dish with a little water and cook a little longer. 

Next trim the leaves by removing the thick part of the stem, *OPTIONAL- Cut up the stem and place in the bottom of the pan for extra flavour- Fill with a spoonful of filling and wrap up, place in the pan and repeat! 


Top with tomato sauce. If you are freezing, label your container with directions as well. They should say this: Remove cover and bake 350F for 1 1/2 -2 hours and bubbly. If you are just baking right away then preheat oven to 350 and bake!

Vanilla Almond Granola

Who LOVES granola as much as I do? Honestly I could eat it all day long... but don't worry I don't. 

The problem is stuff we buy at the store can be filled with some much sugar and extra crap that we DO NOT NEED. Honestly, don't even look at the ingredients in the store bought stuff. It is scary..

Making your own is SUPER simple, SUPER easy and MUCH healthier! 

Before I share my yummy Vanilla Almond Granola, I will share the main system of how to prepare homemade granola. 

Some people may think it is boring but you have the ability to create and mix whatever you want! 

BASIC GRANOLA 

1. Start with 1/4C oil base- coconut oil, sunflower oil, melted butter, canola oil.

2.Mix in 1/2C sweetness- honey, agave nectar, brown sugar, maple syrup, cane sugar, stevia.

3. Add in flavour boosters 1t-1T if you wish with a pinch of salt- spices(cinnamon, cardamon, ginger, peanut butter, vanilla, almond extract, coconut extract, clove, nutmeg, chili flakes, cocoa nibs, cocoa powder etc) 
*NOTE- add chocolate AFTER baking*

4.Add 3C oats and nuts, seeds, fruit- rolled oats or gluten free, any nuts and or dried fruit you like. You can choose how much or how little of each you would like. 
5. Mix all together and bake at 375F for 10 mins or until golden brown. Be sure to stir often so it doesn't burn.

Simple right? You have the freedom to add anything you want. Mix and match to create the flavours you want. 

Now here is my Vanilla Almond Granola recipe

Vanilla Almond Granola

Ingredients:
  • 3 cup large flake rolled oats
  • 3/4 cup slivered almonds

  • 1/4 cup melted coconut oil
  • 1/4 teaspoon almond extract
  • 1 Tablespoon vanilla extract
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 300F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In one bowl mix dry ingredients and in another mix together wet ingredients 
3. Add wet ingredients to the dry and toss until it is totally coated
4. Pour onto sheet and spread out evenly; bake for 45mins stirring frequently. Allow granola to cool completely before transferring to airtight container.

*Mason jars work great to store or just a tupperware or glass container. Will keep for 3-4 weeks.

The week after that (week 3) you can play around to figure out the All Access to see all the programs and what will work best for you to continue on your journey. We will still have daily check ins and different coach posts throughout the remainder of the group as well!
