I was also tired of the people who don't actually workout and make it a social hour. I don't need to fend for a bench or machine nor any particular corner. It makes it harder to make excuses as to why I 'can't go to the gym'. I can workout whenever I want from the comfort of my own home. The reason why I'm able to be consistent with this is because of three things Convenience, affordability and guidance. After this program I remain wanting to work with the nutrition guides given as they go hand in hand in yielding great results! Shredding the body and seeing all your hard work pay off! She gives you plenty of helpful tips when potentially prepping for an event and how you can use carb cycling to look your best when actively training. Towards the end of the program she introduces you to carb cycling and breaks it all down for you. For 80 Day it was 'timed nutrition' and it was a program that I always felt fueled and satisfied and could even have wine if I wanted to. She really reminds you of how important your diet is, and I don't mean a starvation diet. Basically I went all in and trusted the program I began with, which was 80 Day Obsession. Thank God for 'PORTION CONTROL CONTAINERS' by Autumn Calabrese. These programs were curated and designed and calculated by the trainer themselves. I don't know about you, but I get overwhelmed with meal planning and finding what works with what. The other major tool was that each fitness program had nutritional guides, recipes plus grocery recommendations. I ordered my chocolate plant based super food the last week of April and started May 1 and have been drinking it ever since!

I also liked the whole 'no contracts and money back guarantee' and ' helps with sugar cravings'. I did my reviews, asked a few friends who I remembered had tried it and figured why not. I was like 'Great one stop shop', but is it BS?. Funny enough this find led me to Beachbody and was sold under one umbrella. I'm horrible at taking actual vitamins and I prefer to eat my vitamins( but it's not like I actually calculated or balanced meals anyway. They had variety of plant base flavor protein shakes with all the super foods that would cut the cost significantly by buying this one product, versus bags of other supplements I didn't care to keep track of. I did some research and found Shakeology, a brand I always had heard of but never took into consideration. I have a sensitivity to whey protein and had never tried plant base alternatives. One thing I always knew was when I would weight train, keeping muscle gains was extremely hard. Quotes you hear, that I believe are true 'Abs are made in the kitchen'.' 70 percent diet, 20 percent fitness'. * Contact us if you like to join the #nosnoozecrew. The first 5 minutes are always brutal but then you laugh at yourself because you know how accomplished you feel when you show up and didn't have to do it alone.

It will feel so far away, but then when my accountability group sends me a text ' Hey lady where you at?' it get's my ass going and pressing play. Because to be honest, there are days when motivation will lack. So having these ladies waiting for me or vice versa has kept us accountable and has played a big role in developing discipline. I also had all these extra hours in the day and got so much 'me time' in. There was a time when I was gifted a personal trainer and would meet him several times a week at 5am and it was magic (more on that later). 3| COMMUNITY | But wait aren't you at home? Yes except since purchasing my #beachbody account I've found a community of ladies where we meet virtually to workout on #zoom and for the ones that were local, we get together and either workout from one of our programs or visit a local yoga or cycling class! Get this, we even have a #nosnoozecrew where we pop in Mon-Fri from 5am-7:30am.
