Love The Skin You're In and BE PROUD!

Welcome to my story! 

I have struggled with weight my entire life it feels like. I always wanted to look a certain way, feel a certain way, act a certain way and never really knew how to be comfortable with myself until much later on in life. 

As women, there is already so much pressure society puts on us. Commercials, magazines, etc. It is hard to love yourself for who you are when all that other stuff is getting thrown in our faces constantly and we tend to just automatically compare ourselves to others. 

In the picture above it I started it in the Left hand top corner. That was my Grade 12 Grad. Quick backstory, Grade 9-12 I was pretty consistent with my weight. I became extremely sick in grade 8 causing me to lose almost 100 pounds. Can you believe it I was a super chunky kid from about grade 5 on? Well it's true! 

Moving down the left hand side and around was my journey to where I am now. I started getting chunky again in the third picture as I just finished a year of college and all it was pretty much was partying, KD and Ichiban. Then the bottom left hand corner was about 8 months after I had a life changing experience that caused me to lose a lot of weight the unhealthy way.. (ask me about that if you are interested)
The bottom and up the right hand side was my married life, 1st pregnancy, and to where I am now. 

It took another life changing experience for me to realize that I am enough just being me! 

November 29, 2014, I had my son Westin Edward via emergancy C-Section. I did not enjoy pregnancy and my labour and delivery was awful. Nothing went the way I was hoping ( as it never really does right?) but throughout the day I kept talking myself into a better mood by becoming OK with the situations. Then time came for the c-section, the one thing I absolutely did not want. I quickly talked myself into it again knowing I would be awake and my husband would be there. 

Well that wasn't the case either. I ended up feeling the first cut and had to be put under immediately resulting in not being about to see my son for hours after and not feeling connected with him as well as not being able to breastfeed. 

I think all these factors didn't help that I ended up with PPD for 5 months after having my son.

I gained way more weight than I did during pregnancy, I was unmotivated, uncomfortable and unhappy. I knew something just had to change as my marriage and ultimately my life was suffering. 

I reached out to my coach friend who suggested 21 Day Fix Challenge Pack. It was 30min workouts, portion control containers and Shakeology to help with nutrition part of things. She knew I needed the full deal. I was extremely skeptical and
a super negative person but my plan was to try it and just say the shakeo didn't work for me so I could get my money back... Little did I know within 2 weeks of drinking the shakeology daily and forcing myself to workout my PPD started subsiding! 

I ended up joining as a coach and continuing on with PiYo, Body Beast, Hammer and Chisel, 22 Min Hard Corps, Country Heat, TurboFire, Insanity Max:30, 3 Day Refresh and Core De Force and lost 71lbs total before I found out I was pregnant again. 

Do not get my wrong I was CRAZY excited that we were finally pregnant again after trying for almost a year but immediately worried about my tummy as I finally just got back to where I wanted to be. I felt myself slipping back into the shitty mindset of worrying about what others thought of me. 

I soon realized what the heck does it matter? I am growing a little human and damn proud of that plus my body has been through so much already! I have war wounds, I have memories and I will ALWAYS be proud of my body. 

People who don't know my situation make comments and don't think I'm taking my own advice but honestly I am WAY healthier and more active than most of those making the comments, so ya...I am proud of the way I look. 

I'm happy to be rocking this baby belly!! ❤️

So to all you Mama's and Mama's to be... 

>>>BE DANG PROUD OF THAT BODY GIRL<<<

For me it all started with a challenge group to teach me how to start loving myself and to be held accountable .

If you would like more info on how to join an accountability group you can click here and I will be in touch with you shortly!

Want in on our test group August 22nd? 

Registration is now *OPEN*

(US and CANADIAN RESIDENTS)

Beachbody launched a BRAND NEW fitness program July 28th and it is TOTALLY KICKASS! I was so beyond excited for this program because I LOVE line dancing and country music. The thing about this program is you DON'T need to know how to dance, you DON'T need rhythm or coordination. Autumn walks you through the steps and makes it really simple and fun! IT IS AMAZINGLY FUN!!!

WHAT IS COUNTY HEAT?

Country Heat is set to the hottest country hits. JoDee Messina even recorded an exclusive song for this program! There is NO CHOREOGRAPHY to remember, just follow along for the 30 minute workout!  This program is high energy, low impact dance workout that is super fun and easy to follow. Autumn Calabrese created this program and has also created the 21 Day Fix, 21 Day Fix Extreme, Co Creator of Hammer and Chisel, author of the Fixate cookbook, mom and bikini competitor.  I have yet to do a live workout with her but I will one day! My friends who have says she is just as amazing and motivating in person as she is in her programs. 

There are 5 high energy, cardio based dance workouts, 1 dance conditioning workout, and the portion controlled eating plan! 

Who is Country Heat For?

Are you ready for this?? ANYONE! Whether you are a beginner, 21 day fix grad, pro dancer, football player, advanced in your fitness or ready for something fun and different to mix up your fitness regime. It is great for all ages and fitness levels. People who like Zumba or love to dance, people who want to lose weight and are looking for results in 30 days.  People who generally don't like to exercise or who want a lifestyle change, but aren't sure where to begin! 

 Does this sound like you? 

 This workout is great for people who have tried and failed at complicated "diets" and exercise programs.  It is great because this isn't a "diet"  It's an easy to follow portion control container system and you'll have ME as your coach to guide you every single step of the way! I don't know 'bout you but lots of the times I've attempted to start programs on my own I NEVER stuck with it.  You will learn how to properly fill the containers and what to eat. I will teach you how to meal plan, prep, and stick with the workouts from beginning to end.  Plus the workouts are fun and you don't even know you are working out. Totally kick ass right?

  I encourage everyone to do at least 2-3 rounds of the program. Just another reason why I LOVE this program. You can finish 1 round and start your next round the NEXT day!  The reason is that in the first 30 days you are just learning and getting into the swing of things. You are getting a good handle on your nutrition and understanding how the portion controlled containers work. Into your second month you will be able to focus are really getting the workouts down plus your nutrition will be on point. Your third round you will just be a total pro!

This program is great for those that like to dance but are intimidated by choreography. EEEEEK SO EXCITED TO START!!!!

Why does line dancing 30 mins a day work? What am I missing here?

It's a fun, easy-to-follow dance workout that ANYONE can do so you are MORE likely to actually stick with it! You'll have so much fun dancing to the hottest country hits you'll barely notice you're dropping pounds and getting a great total-body workout. 

You get 5 dance workouts and 1 dance conditioning workout that are all high energy but low impact- to give you all the calorie burning benefits of a great cardio workout while using every muscle in your body to fire up that metabolism. 

NO silly moves no one can do. NO weights. NO equipment! 

It is so hard to stick to an eating program when you feel deprived of the foods you love so including the portion-control containers to help you lose weight while still enjoying your favorite foods is perfect. We all know fitness + staying active = kick ass results right!? 

Gone are the days where you have to avoid going out with friends or family, counting calories, diets and pills! 

Autumn's easy-to-use Eating Plan shows you how to use your portion-control containers to create easy, delicious recipes— with foods that actually taste delicious—in the right portions to reach your goals.

I love this program so much already that I've decided to walk a group of people through the WHOLE program in our team's COUNTRY HEAT THROWDOWN test group we are running August 22nd. We are only accepting a select few for our first group so we can focus on YOU and make it personal and help you reach your goals. There will be meal planning and prep tips, recipes that work with the containers as well as with the whole family, prizes, motivation, accountability & support to really ROCK the SOCKS off this program y'all!

The people in the test group are getting incredible results.This is really amazing!
