Day One Thoughts

High Freakin Five, ya'll!!! 
If you've made it through Total Body Core then pat yourself on the back and smile! It wasn't easy. I know from experience 😆

Just look at that calorie count! Proof that Autumn is evil! 😂 No, but really, she's great and I'm grateful for this program. It will push me passed my limits and make me become even stronger than before. I won't like every second, every minute, every workout, but I will do it all and be proud of me in the end. 

I'll be honest, there were some easy moves and some very difficult moves. The easy ones I know aren't truly easy because everything Autumn does has a reason behind it. I was grateful for the small "break". The hard moves, wow! They were hard. I did modify and I'm sure most people will in some way and that's ok. I just see it as a way to push me to become stronger and not modify eventually. 

I remember in 21dfx when I stopped modifying and tried the workout how it's supposed to be. I was scared that I would hurt myself or totally suck at it. However I did it without injury and without sucking! That was a moment of clarity and strength and success for me. I look forward to many moments like that with 80 Day Obsession!

Halfway through Total Body Core Autumn repeats everything. It feels like two whole workouts and that's because it is. It didn't get easier and I had to lower my weights some in the second round. I had to remind myself it's only day 1. Before I know it I'll be getting heavier weights because they're just too easy.

I look forward to day two. Who doesn't love working the Booty?
Stay tuned for my thoughts on Day Two!

DAY ONE!!

People, this is happening!!

I have been waiting for this workout program for what feels like a year. I've done 21 Day Fix and I've done 21 Day Fix Extreme. While I got excellent results with both workouts, it was time for a new program. 80 Day Obsession came at the perfect time. While the length of this program is different than 21df and 21dfx, I am still looking forward to a different workout every single day. How cool is that?! It basically does away with plateaus. Brilliant!

After nine rounds of 21 Day Fix and nine rounds of 21 Day Fix Extreme I was done. I needed a change. Doing nine rounds of each wasn't planned either. I guess that's just my body and mind worked out with both. I definitely hit a plateau with 21dfx. 

Plateaus are the devil. They're frustrating, stressful, and can really deter your weight loss journey. It definitely did for me. I wondered what I was doing wrong, how could I stop losing weight and getting toned when I was trying heavier weights, sleeping and drinking my water, and eating as well as I possibly could. I just believe that my body was too bored with the workouts and needed a change.

Enter A Little Obsessed!! 

I kid you not, just doing ALO during the two week preview my body showed changes. It wasn't just me making it up either, promise. My body soaked it all up! I was so grateful when they added a second week preview. Made this girl happy!

Let's give credit where credit is due. Autumn knows her stuff. I'm sure there's also a team of people behind the already successful 80 Day Obsession. Anyway, I look forward to this program pushing me passed the limits I thought 21dfx pushed me passed. I look forward to cursing Autumn a lot. Don't lie, you know you do it too! She's a mean little woman who loves to torture us. I'll admit, I love her afterward, but during I can't say she's my favorite person. That just proves she knows her stuff and knows what works!

I'll make another post letting you know about my thoughts after the very first workout. Check out my other posts on preparing for 80 Day Obsession.
