PHASE 1 COMPLETE!

January 24, 2021 Leave a Comment

3 weeks ago I started a program. 

To be honest with you, I didn’t know what to expect from the program. 

Led by the super trainer Autumn Calabrese, I had only completed one program of hers and I saw some awesome results!

Results from 21 day fix extreme real time

I had heard amazing things about 9 Week Control Freak from the test group, I knew it had different equipment that no other beachbody trainer had used before. 

She designed the control track 

What Is the 9 Week Control Freak Control Track?

And also the core ball 

https://www.teambeachbody.com/shop/us/d/core-ball-standalone-CoreBall

But little did I know how big of an impact they would have on my workouts. 

They are GAME CHANGER guys! 

I have felt such a difference by adding this equipment to my daily workouts! 

Being as though this is a 9 week program, I am 1/3 of the way through and I am sooooo excited to keep going! 

One thing I love about this program in particular is that Autumn b r e a k s   i t   d o w n. Making it not only easier to get through the workout itself, but makes it feels as though you are completing a whole program in just 3 weeks!  9 Week Control Freak is divided into three phases that will increase in intensity and exercise difficulty, 5 days a week, three weeks at a time. Everything you need to succeed and get those results is included in your kit!

• 45 unique workouts with Autumn and the cast. You will workout 5 days a week, 18-30 minutes a day, for 9 weeks.

• Autumn’s 10 Minute Bonus Workouts – Add one to any workout to target a particular muscle group based on your personal goals.

• Remote Control – These 5 workouts mimic one full week of 9 Week Control Freak, but are meant to be done when you don’t have access to your dumbbells or step—for example, if you’re traveling. They are full workouts that utilize the Core Ball and the Control Track, giving you the same intense workout you’d normally do, so you never have to pause your 9 week commitment.

• Tabata Bonuses – Add one of these 9 bonuses to any workout when you want to double up on your cardio.

• Controlled Stretches – These breakthrough, short nighttime routines will help clear your head, relax your muscles, and get you ready fora good night’s sleep, so you’re ready to take control the next day. There’s one for every workout day, making these an ideal way to optimize your recovery.

• You will also get the getting started right guide to help you really lock in success for the next 9 weeks. Your own personal brag board to show yourself some love during the duration of the program as well as printable daily trackers 

Everything you need to become a complete CONTROL FREAK!

THE RESULTS ARE IN!

3 Day Refresh

First off let me tell you this refresh takes D I S C I P L I N E !

It was h.a.r.d.

But it was doable!

So some may wonder what the 3 day refresh is so let me give you a little background.

The 3 Day Refresh is designed to help you break the cycle of bad eating habits, lose a few pounds, support healthy digestion, and dramatically improve the way you feel—without giving up food!*  (completely haha)

If you go to my Instagram and click on my 3 Day Refresh highlight you will see why I say completely. 🤪

Now let me break it down by meal

W A K E  U P – DRINK 8-12 OZ

  • B R E A K F A S T
    • Shakeology + fruit
  • FIBER SWEEP
  • L U N C H
    • Vanilla fresh shake
    • Fruit
    • Veggie + healthy fat
  • AFTERNOON SNACK
    • Veggie + Healthy fat
  • D I N N E R
    • Vanilla fresh shake
    • Dinner recipe

So if you can follow this plan for 3 days you are good!

See, my struggle was simply drinking the shakes as well as the fiber sweep.

I’m not much of a shake/smoothie person, but I made it happen.

On day one I felt like I was starving myself honestly, I was SO hungry!

Day two and three however I didn’t feel that way.  My body seemed to adjust fast.

Over the course of the three days I lost a total of 6 lbs.

I feel better overall and can definitely see a difference in my stomach area.

Now, let’s talk measurements!

I lost an inch in my waist + an inch in my hips!

That’s was surprising to me!

(Scroll down to see my results, keep in mind I’m no where near where I want to be. The last few weeks consisted of eating out every meal, and emotional eating…. reason why I need to do this refresh.)

If you are looking for something to fast track your nutrition, or have an event coming up and you want to drop a few pounds I would definitely recommend this program!

If you have any questions in regards to the 3 Day Refresh or Beachbody in general feel free to reach out to me via email!

XOXO

DIY BATHROOM SHELVES + NEW PRODUCTS!

June 13, 2020 Leave a Comment

My bathroom needed something other than just a silly towel rack, am I right? 

So why not add some extra storage! 

These shelves were super easy to do and change the entire look of this wall! 

look at this before of our bathroom …

YIKES! 

When my husband and I first looked at this house this is what we walked into. Although it was very outdated I saw a lot of potential in this house we now call home. 

This bathroom…. 

SO the deal was with the previous owner that we could pick everything out for this bathroom, and they would do the remodel and finish it before we moved it. Great deal right? Well that wasn’t really how it went, so we just took what we could get. 

This bathroom is far from my idea of the potential it could have and even farther from my idea of a dream bathroom. But we are making it work. 

These shelves have added extra storage in our tiny master bathroom and allowed us to free up a ton of space on our bathroom countertop. 

So get to the point!

This cost less than $75! 

However I did already have the stain.. but still great DIY! 

Here is what I did

I ACTUALLY MEASURED THIS SPACE! 

if you read my post about my Trellis , you may know I’m not the best at taking pre measurements. 

so I knew I needed somethinghing less than 23 in to fit over the toilet and make it look like it wasn’t overbearing for that space. 

I purchased

1x8x6 commonboard from Homdepot 

http://1 in. x 8 in. x 6 ft. Premium Kiln-Dried Square Edge Whitewood Common Board-914827 – The Home Depot

along with four 8in metal brackets 

https://www.homedepot.com/p/Crates-Pallet-8-in-Black-Steel-Shelf-Bracket-for-Wood-Shelving-69103/300434688?MERCH=REC-_-visuallysimilar_1_0-_-300436793-_-300434688-_-N

THAT IS IT! 

I cut my board to 21in twice to make 2 shelves  just to be safe

I stained them with Carbon Gray stain (also from homedeopt) that I already had lingering in my garage.

 https://www.homedepot.com/p/Varathane-1-qt-Carbon-Gray-Premium-Fast-Dry-Interior-Wood-Stain-300389/206386411

Once they were dry my Step Dad came over to help find studs and screw the metal brackets to the wall ( I could’ve done this myself however when he is over I always put him to work.. Sorry JOEY!) 

And that was all!

I also want to mention a few items on these shelves. 

Maleys B-Flat cream is a cream I have been using for a few month now, YES IT WORKS! 

recently partnering with Maleys they sent me a few other products to try as well. 

The “Bright”cream for dark circles because mom life.. 

The “B-Perky” cream because mom boobs… haha 

+ my favorite out of the 3 so far (aside from B-Flat) is the “B-Tight” I have actually been using the “B-Tight” cream on my mom pooch and I am seeing results and it has only been a week! 

Use my CODE:IVY15 for a discount on https://www.maelyscosmetics.com/

I hope you enjoyed this little DIY! 

And of course the self care I added to the end! 

Enjoy your weekend friends! 

XOXO Ivy L
