Another week in the books. This week it has started becoming a habit. Besides switching my Saturday and Sunday rest day around, every workout got done with no questions asked. They all happened sometime during the day, besides today I got up early and got it done. Oh I almost forgot. One day I switched up on of the workouts for an BOD Elite exclusive. That day I just felt like I needed to sweat a little more. I love every workout and the music. But some of the workouts I feel like I get more of a sweat than others.
Thursday night I finally took the opportunity to do Dance Conditioning. It is recommended to do 2x a week starting the 2nd week. It is an extra 25 minute workout. I honestly just didn't want to do it. I have to say OMG did my legs feel sore the next day after doing it. It is a great toner workout and also works your upper body.
I did have a little struggle with my nutrition this week. There was one night I had an ice cream bar, and on Friday we had an awards banquet where I had a little to much dessert. For the most part we stuck to our menu. Breakfast is always eggs. Lunches I really just had leftovers again. Dinners we stuck to the menu for the most part. Next week I work a few nights so it will be a little harder for me to make everyone dinner, but I will take my dinner with me so I don't have the urge to order out.

I have to say I really love this program. It is so fun. It is not your typical follow along, learn a routine dance workout. It is cardio dancing. You learn two moves, repeat then forget about them. I love that I don't dread "having" to work out everyday because it is actually fun.
I honestly can say I am sweating by the time I am finished. I will start off with a jacket and pants on, I end up switching into shorts and taking off the jacket. I didn't expect this when I heard Country Heat. In just 30 minutes a day.
I decided to step on the scale last Monday and had lost 2.8 pounds. OMG YES. I am back on track. It is always great to see your hard work pay off. This week I have also noticed I am not craving chocolate or junk food everyday. Sticking to my meal plan and knowing what to expect each day has helped so much.
This morning I sat down and planned my menu for the week. I switched it up some compared to last week. I did good with eating healthy and sticking to my menu for the most part. There were a few dinners I swapped out for leftover Chicken Taco Soup. I forgot how much it really made with only two of us eating it. I could probably live off the soup for a full week for lunch and dinner before eating it all.

I officially finished Week 1 of Country Heat workout and meal plan. This time I am doing so much better. My meal plan is hanging n the fridge, with my workout schedule. Also Brian is on board with everything and is doing 22 Minutes Hard Corps. It makes a world a different when you support, encouragement, and accountability weather it be from others in your house or the support of others online, it really does help.
One of the reasons I chose to start the year off with Country Heat is because it so much fun. I love Country Music and who doesn't have fun dancing? Aubriella and Austin join me working out quite often also. I did all 6 days of working out with Country Heat. On Saturday I also had an added workout live with The BEAST at an event, plus tons of walking and stairs. Everyday I also completed my goal of 10,000 steps.
One of the best way to see progress is through photos. Flex Friday is one way to see a change your body each week. Overtime you will see a difference
Brian and I have been going strong with having our daily shake of dense nutrition. I have been personally drinking it every day for over. I have noticed a difference in my energy, my system, I'm getting sick as much as everyone else around me, I don't have cravings. Plus I can drink Chocolate and not feel guilty about it.
A few days last week I had eggs and veggies for breakfast. It is my main go to when I don't want carbs for breakfast.
My delicious lunch is a wrap with turkey, avocado, tomato and spinach, plus some berries.
This had to be my favorite dinner last week. Brown rice with roasted brussel sprouts, and chicken. With a greek yogurt Sriracha dressing. OMG amazing. it reminded me of something you would get while out to eat.
No one ever said Taco's couldn't be healthy. I use ground turkey, lots of lettuce and fresh tomatoes, a little cheese and the greek yogurt. I had one as a taco and more as a taco salad.
As planned I had a dinner out on Friday night. I went in there with the mind set I was going to eat healthy. WIN I did. I had Salmon with brussel sprout and quinoa. OMG I was blown away with deliciousness. I couldn't stop eating it, i ate it all. I didn't feel like crap afterwards and I didn't feel bad for eating it either. The restaurant didn't have bread to start off with, which was also a win, and we didn't get dessert. I did however have 2 glasses of wine (which I normally don't do while out to eat). Not regretting any of it. It was an amazing once in a lifetime dinner opportunity that I believe I handled well.
Now onto my meal plan for next week. I am keeping it simple. I have no problem eating the same thing every day for breakfast. Sticking to eggs and veggies. My first snack will be a fruit probably berries. My second snack around 3 or so everyday is my shake. There are some days I do drink it later in the day though. I munch on celery and carrots when I need something crunchy. My lunch is planned to be a wrap everyday. I may switch it up one day with leftovers, but still be the same container count,
My dinner do chance everyday, besides Tuesday and Wednesday. I am making Tuesdays in the crock pot and know there will be plenty left for dinner on Wednesday and since I have to work it makes life easier.
I am ready for Week 2. My menu is done, go grocery shopping done, Food is prepped. Lets bring it and make it an AMAZING week.

Beachbody is releasing a BRAND NEW fitness program on July 27th 2016!!!
COUNTRY HEAT is going to knock your socks off! At first I was a
little skeptical of a country music workout because I have two left feet, I'm
not very coordinated and I just want to get in, get my workout done and get
out. I had the opportunity to try it out a few times. This program had me
literally DRIPPING sweat and I didn't feel lost or confused by the moves.
Anyone can do it! It is not hard at all. Plus my legs were on
fire, my core was burning and I could tell it is way more than cardio. It's
great for your entire body!
I am really excited for the launch of this
program and I'm going to be walking a select group of people from beginning to
end through the program! I'm going to be making sample meal plans, giving
you recipes, tips and guidance on how to rock this program! The people in
the test group are getting incredible results and one even lost over 60 pounds
in 90 days!!! That is so cool.
What Country Heat actually is?
First of all it features
all of the hottest country music! There is NO CHOREOGRAPHY to remember,
just follow along for the 27-30 minute workouts! This workout program is
high energy, low impact dance workout that is super fun and easy to follow.
There are 5 high energy,
cardio based dance workouts, 1 dance conditioning workout, and the portion
controlled eating plan! You're scorching calories, burning
fat, and melting away the pounds as you reshape your entire body – all in just
30 days.
There are no complicated
moves, NO WEIGHTS OR EQUIPMENT required.
Autumn uses her portion
control container system and meal plan to help you lose weight by eating what
you want in the right amounts each day.
WHO CAN DO COUNTRY HEAT?
ANYONE and EVERYONE from
beginners to 21 Day Fix Graduates to those advanced in their fitness that want
something different and fun! It is great for all ages and sizes!
People who like Zumba, 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!
This workout is great
for people who have tried and failed at complicated diets and exercise
programs. The reason is that it’s easy to follow the portion controlled
container system and you have ME as your coach to guide you every single step
of the way! 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!!!
If you want to lose
weight then yes that is accomplished in the program! I encourage everyone
to do at least 2-3 rounds of the program. The reason is that in the first 30
days you are just learning the ropes. You are getting a good handle on your
nutrition and understanding the portion controlled containers. As you dial in
your nutrition you can increase your results!!
This program is great
for those that like to dance but are intimidated by choreography. THAT IS
ME!!! I have two left feet and I want to get in, sweat and get out! So
I'm pumped for this!

Beachbody is an amazing company for so many reasons. Not only are they trying to fight obesity, they also help others in need. You have probably heard about the brush fires going on in Canada. Beachbody has announced TODAY ONLY they will be giving you a Sneak Peek to the new Autumn Calabrese workout video, Country Heat on Beachbody On Demand. For every view of the program they will donate $5 to the Canadian Red Cross for the Alberta Fire Relief. How awesome is that.
I am always up for helping out a good cause (plus I have family in Canada) and I have been antsy to try out the new workout program.
Check out the video for a little sample of the workout. I had my workout partner with me in the garage while the baby napped.
Country Heat is a great program for beginners, if you are looking for something fun, and if you are looking to lose weight the nontraditional way. You also don't have to dancing in your background, as you can tell I can't dance. You just have to be open minded and willing to have some fun.
I will admit when the program first started I didn't believe I was going to get much of a workout in. Within 7 minutes into the program I was already starting to wear. I felt great afterwords.
