Is Core De Force really worth it? My 60+ day review of the program

I've been getting lots of messages asking about what program I've been doing. 

Is it worth it?

How many days is the program?

What can you eat?

Do you actually get results doing this at home?

Do you like it?

I can answer this short and sweet for you in the video below:

My official day 68 results pictures are on the video about. I can tell you though that in such a short amount of time:

- I have more endurance

- I don't have that "I need coffee to survive" feeling I used to have in the mornings

- I'm in a better mode.

- I have a healthier association with food. As a stress eater this has been a huge milestone for me.

- I look forward to pushing play each day.

- I've gone down 2 jean sizes

- I'm down 10 lbs and 13.5 inches.

This is the first time ever during the holidays (Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Years) that I've LOST weight instead of gained weight.

I'm not the only one on my team that feels this way. There are how some of our challengers felt just three weeks into the program! 

If you are ready to commit to a program, get that fight back and take the stress out of learning to meal prep, cleaning out your pantry and sticking to clean eating all week long, I have the group for you. 

Our first ever Virtual Gym group is getting AMAZING results just one week in. Combined they have lost over 35 lbs and 27 inches! Amazing! 

Week 0 Begins: January 30th 

(Daily Workshops teaching you how to meal prep, clean out your pantry, get organized and more)

Week 1 Begins: February 6th

30 Days, that will not only get you results but it will create healthy habits you can take with you all year long. We also have a graduate program that is the next level in your health and fitness journey once you complete this challenge. So your journey won't end at 30 days, it will continue all year long and beyond!

Recipe: Oh So Good Paleo Friendly Teriyaki Sauce

I really love making sauces from scratch. As someone who spent her early 20's living off of spaghetti o's and top ramen I didn't think I'd ever say that. 

One of my favorite go to meals is making meatballs from scratch and then cooking them in the Instant Pot. Only takes about 7 minutes to cook and it's pretty versatile! I typically make them with marinara sauce, but I do like making them with sweet and sour sauce too. 

Paleo Friendly Teriyaki Sauce

What's In It:

·         ½ cup coconut aminos (or braggs liquid aminos)

·         ¼ cup fresh orange juice or water

·         3 tbsp honey

·         1 TBSP crushed Garlic

·         1/4 tsp chili flakes

·         2 tsp arrowroot flour (if you want it thicker)

How to Make It:

In a small saucepan, mix everything BUT the flour and heat it over medium heat. If you are using flour, mix it with 2 tablespoon of cold water and add the mixture into the sauce and cook until it has thickened. If not using flour, just simmer on low the sauce until thickened.

That's it! I poured my sauce over a batch of raw meatballs I made. Put the meat balls in the Instant Pot, poured the sauce over and then cooked on Manuel High for 7 minutes with a quick release. 

Served it over brown rice I had cooked in my Instant Pot earlier and zoodles. Super easy and tasted like a treat meal!

For those of you using the Fix Containers: 1 orange container full = 1 orange!

Our First Snow.

When we moved to our new homestead in the middle of April we started talking about our first snow. What would it be like? Will we get a lot of snow? These are questions of this born and raised sunny San Diego family, who moved up to the mountains where there are seasons. 

And when it was crazy hot this summer, we'd often bring up what we wondered winter would be like and the excitement of snow. 

A few days before Christmas weekend the weather report said we would be getting snow! What? A white Christmas? The kids had been praying for our first snow and I was getting my hopes high for it.  Poor Lily woke up super sick the day before Christmas Eve. High fever, horrible cough, bad aches and you could just tell our very busy high spirited toddler was not feeling well. It lasted for about 5 days (through Christmas) but thankfully she is better now with just a lingering cough.

It was 4:30 am on Christmas eve morning and my husband woke me up, "Jenny, it's snowing outside!" I jumped out of bed, and he shined the flash light out on the porch...

SNOW!!

I went up stairs and gently whispered to Carson, "Buddy, it's snowing outside. Come see!" He sleepily got up, came down stairs and looked out the window.

His eyes opened up wide "WHOA MOM IT'S SNOWING!" he said with a big smile on his face. 

I can still see the look of wonder on their sweet little faces. It's something I hope to remember all my life. 

Yep I went out there in my jammies to snap chat. Because, why not? haha

Poor Lily girl was super sick with a fever bad cough and all that not so fun stuff that  comes with it. But we couldn't tell her she couldn't experience her first snow! So we let her go out with us for about 10 minutes and bundled her up like Ralphie's brother in the Christmas Story.

I wish I was better at expressing in words how amazing it was. But it was such an awesome experience. 

Our first white Christmas. 

The entire ranch and mountains were covered in snow. 

It was so quiet. I've heard people say snow makes everything seem so still, so quiet. It's true. It was like being in the middle of a snow globe!

It also happened to be our dogs Bear and Lilo's first snow too.. One was happier than the other. Can you guess which one liked it and which one didn't? (warning, this may be tough one to answer)

Bear?

Or Lilo?

You most likely guessed it right... and let me tell you she LOVED it. She would have stayed out there all day if we had let her.

My snow angels.

Carson's favorite part was throwing snow balls at us.

This is the first year ever I didn't send out Christmas cards. I wanted too, but it just didn't happen. If I would send one now, this would be the pictures I'd use. No make up, bundled up, sick, sleep deprived but oh so very happy. Christmas eve on our Ranch with our first snow. 

Thank you Jesus!

This first year on our homestead has been harder than I imaged it would be.  We're stronger for it though and have bonded as a family more than ever. Waking up to a white Christmas eve, a warm fire, a sparkle in my kids eyes as they looked out in wonder and getting to take it all in with my best friend/hubby with a cup of coffee in hand. Priceless. We are so humbled and thankful for our Savior  who had this plan for us all along. God is good!

Merry belated Christmas and Happy New Year, friends! Thank you for reading this, and for all our family and friends that have encouraged us and supported us on this journey. I plan to update more frequently  on here about our homestead, how it's growing and more about our home school journey as well. 

Have a blessed day,
