Your Fit Journey With Autumn Calabrese

6/21DF

Doing a 30 minute workout in front of my television screen no longer seems like a challenge. I just do it! It has become a part of my daily routine. 

Today I had a very late breakfast as I had an early appointment. Never doing this again. I knew better. It leaves you hungry and cravings have a way of rearing their ugly head. However, I held on to eating right and came home to my already prepared meals. 

After doing my "Dirty 30" of the 21 Day Fix  Workout Plan, I walked my sweaty-self to  my kitchen where I mixed  banana,  blueberries and  PB2 (a powdered peanut butter) in the. blender to make a super delicious Vanilla Shakeology.

My day ended attending an event with a friend. I may just have gone over one or two of my allotted containers, but not going to beat myself up for that. Tonight I rest and recharge because tomorrow starts a brand new day.

Day 6 is ✅

5/21 ✅ 

Wakie, wakie to day #5 with coffee ☕️ and a heart ❤️ of gratitude. 

It's cold here and even inside where it's toasty and cozy the feel of the outdoors creeps under my skin. I kick it off and take control of "my day".

Had a hot bowl of breakfast goodness, another cup of coffee, bottle of water and morning Facebook chat with a couple friends. 

Turned on the television 📺 and jumped into another 30 minute workout with my favorite host, Autumn Calabrese & crew, while we sweated to Cardio Fix. No, I do not like Burpees. Yes, I did them (sorry Autumn, but I modified).

Rested for a bit with my tasty Shakeology in hand.

Here's where my down went down hill just a bit...I ate a baked potato with fixings for dinner. Am I going to be depressed, beat myself to death, fume about it.....? No! I am going to just move on. Make better choices tomorrow. Life has its ups & downs and so do I. Living the best, day by day, the best  I can for me. I will not be defeated.

Day 5 is in the books.

Day 4 
Started morning off with coffee and some "me time". Then it's a tasty breakfast dish, baked peanut butter, oats & berries. i got my Pilates Fix for today's 30 minute workout n rather early. Later enjoyed Shakeology for a midday snack. Grab some of my prepared Clean Chick Tortilla Soup for a light lunch while ending the day with a beef patty, green beans and carrots.
All 21 Day Fix approved.
Now it's some evening "me time" for a bit of relaxation.
Day 4 in the books. Bring it on, Day 5!

Your Fit Journey With Autumn Calabrese, Day 3

Oh, my! Never ever think that a mere 30 minute workout couple with healthy eating  and adequate water consumption is not going to bring about a change. Here we are only on Day 3 and I added just a bit more exercise to my days but.........extra workout 

IS NOT HAPPENING TODAY.

Last evening I was so pumped. My metabolism had begun to kick in and start those calorie burns. Little did I know that the evening ☕️ coffee would be my downfall. Sleep 😴...where are you?!! I saw 1,2,3 and even 4 o'clock. My eyes 👀 would close but my heart rate was still in the fat burning zone. So with 3.5 hours of sleep today I pushed through my 30 minute Leg Fix, but just didn't have anymore fuel ⛽️ to power my body to get the new addition to 21 DF, "Cardio Core Remix". Tomorrow is another day. I will add this new workout to my calendar but tonight my body is 😭 crying for rest.  

I  have stayed on target with the healthy meal plan designed for me. 

Always remember to get adequate sleep. It is a key part of a healthy lifestyle. It benefits your heart, weight, mind and more.

Added advice "Never assume ☕️ coffee won't affect your sleep. A late evening cup of Java can cause restlessness, and increased heartbeat and even insomnia. If you must drink evening coffee ☕️ do decaffeinated. I am. 

Overall Day 3 is in the history 📚 books.

On to Day 4💪

Your Fit Journey With Autumn Calabrese, Day 2

Woke up from the best night of rest  in a long time. Seems working out, 🏋 healthy eating 🍵 and drinking lots of water are overall good for me. I think I'll do it again.

After a light but nutritious breakfast I feared I may be defeated by the dropping temperatures the cold front 💨 had dumped on us, but I bundled up and put in my earbuds and started off on a 3 mile walk 🏃♀️in my neighborhood.

Midday I completed ✅  21 DF's 30 minute Upper Fix workout. Nothing more refreshing  after a workout than my own mixture of fruits & a bit of spinach added into my Vanilla Shakeology.

Still seeking to add more steps to my 🚶♀️daily walking, I did a walk-in place video because I want to achieve my goal.

"In order to succeed, your desire for success should be greater than your fear of failure."

End of a great day. 

Look out Day 3...I am getting stronger.💪
