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

Core De Force Round 1 Results and Review

Just like that 30 days gone in a blink! My Team and I decided we were going to accept the challenge of 30 Days of the brand new program Core De Force during the month of November. Right smack in the middle of the challenge? Thanksgiving!

We weren't going to let that stop us from tackling these goals we had set for ourselves!

Today I was reflecting back on my day 0 blog post where I shared my goals, plan, etc. to make this round of Core De Force my best round of a program ever. I didn't stick to the eating plan 110%, but I came pretty close! I even had 3 Thanksgiving dinners in 1 week that I had to balance out, and watch my portions.

Do I regret it? Now way! 

This program has not only given me the quickest results I've ever gotten from a program, but it's helped me get my fight back. The girl on the right was in a pretty bad spot mentally and physically and was ready to make a big change. Core De Fore really helped me do just that!

I took these screen shots above from the MyChallengeTracker app from the Test Launch Group I was in for this round. Do you these show? 30 days of consistent workouts and getting my daily dose of dense nutrition. These 2 things are big factors in my results! 

I will share my 30 day results here in a minute. But first I wanted to share with you some of my favorite things about completing this round:

- I have more energy

-I feel stronger

- I got to eat SO much good food! Homemade BBQ Chicken Pizza? yes please!

- My PCOS symptoms have drastically improved!

- My anxiety/PTSD has really calmed down A LOT.

- Team Work. I loved doing this with my team! Those ladies are amazing and really helped keep me going!

- Inches wise, this is the smallest I've been since before I had my kids. But I'm actually like 6 lbs heavier than I was at my smallest. Hello muscle!

My Round 1 Results? I'm down 8.4 lbs and 6.5 inches and 1 dress size!(2 of those inches were in my waist and 1 1/2 of those inches were in my hips.) 

I love this program so much that I am not stopping it anytime soon! Round 2 began yesterday with the deluxe workouts and I'm ready to keep punching air and kicking high to reach my goals.

What did I eat this challenge?

SO much good food!

My team the Dream Big Tribe has been having such a big results and love of this program that we are keeping our challenge group OPEN! That means you can jump in with us right now if you want!

And guess what? You can start with us the VERY next day after you order! How is that possible you wonder?

Core De Force Week 2 Progress and Review

 How am I feeling with two weeks of this program under my belt?

Amazing. Sore. Stronger.

I needed a comeback more than ever. It's not something I'm ready to talk about here on my blog. Maybe sometime in the near future. For now just know that I was in a pretty low point. I was struggling mentally and physically and when I was accepted into a Test Launch group for this program. I knew this was gonna be a turning point for me.

  This program has given me a new spring in my step. I'm tellin ya, there is just something about punch and kicking hair in the morning and boosts your mood. haha

 I'm not just physically stronger, but mentally too.

So what have I been eating this week? A TON of food! We were given an extra purple container daily this week. But honestly, I haven't used them. I don't like fruit so I'm lucky to get 1 purple a day in with my frozen banana in my Shakeology or when I have marinara sauce or salsa... Yep that's the extent of my purple containers. 

I resisted some really yummy looking desserts this week, pizza AND a burrito. I know right? I' amazed myself! Honestly they only sounded good for a split second. then I would think about how challenging that workout was that morning and that fueled my fire to resist it.

I have not felt deprived AT all! See that top right pic? Yep that's steak, eggs hot sauce with a little mozzarella cheese. Yep that's on my plan, and it was GOOD.

Speaking of Nutrition! Here is a quick vlog I did on my youtube channel this week answering some questions on the nutrition side of this program.

Week 2 Review:

I got a cold virus mid week. Sore throat, runny nose, fever.  Both my kids had to too and to say the least, we felt like crud. It really took me digging deep to push play daily and the help of being in the test launch group and my challenge group. Those 2 groups made a HUGE impact on me this week. 

I was more tired this week. I'm not sure if it was being sick, or the week 2 "energy tank" that I've heard other test group participant talk about. It passed on Friday/Saturday and I fell like I ended the week with more energy than I started it.

The workouts? Phew they were challenging! But GOOD! MMA Power is intense but man it was fun! There isn't a workout I don't like on this program so far. 

Week 2 Progress:

I stepped on the scale on day 15 this morning was was surprised! Despite all this FOOD I get to eat, I have now lost 6 pounds 5.5 inches in 14 days!

More importantly though my anxiety level has gone down SO much. I'm sleeping better, my chronic rib and neck pain has decreased and I'm having fun!

Core De Force: Week 1 Meal Plan and Easy to use Grocery List

This new program is all about doing things different for me this time. One of those things is I've NEVER posted before pics until I have after pics it show for it. (before pics will be at the end of this post)

If I want to make a change and give this all I've got, I've got to set the tone now. 

These last few months I've allowed life and the "stress" of it to dictate my emotions and my eating habits. As a coach I've been pretty embarrassed and afraid to show that I can't seem to get it together.

I'm recommitting myself to the goals I've made and am going to give this 110%. For myself, and for my challengers that I want to help encourage and inspire. I'm ready to lead by example and rise up again!

Something pretty cool happened. I got selected to be in a team test group! What does that entail? I had to sign a contract, take before mics and measurements, and commit to sharing this entire 30 day journey through VLOGS and well... blogging! 

This weekend I rocked out to "Eye of the Tiger" and got my meal prep on! I recorded a step by step video for my challengers showing them how I meal plan for each week and gave them my special Weekly Meal Planning Template and Grocery List. If you would like a copy of this you can email me at CoachJennyM@gmail.com or fill out the quick form at the end of this post.

I love using this grocery list. It breaks the items I need up into the portion control container they go in. It's a great way to help learn what goes in what container and I'm a softy for organization! 

So what did I Meal Prep to make my life simpler this week and how long did it take? I will answer that right now!

This week's Meal Prepped Menu:

- Fixate Veggie Egg Cups

- Sweet Potatoes cooked in my Instant Pot

- Chopped veggies for snacks

- Egg roll in a Bowl for Lunches

- Extra Ground Beef to use for Monday's dinner

- Sliced Bananas, put in the freezer to use for my daily Shakeology. 

How long did it take? 1 hour! That's it! That 1 hour of prep I did in the kitchen will not only help me stay on track with my nutrition this week.. but it saves me TIME and reduces stress! I'm on the go all day long, so to have my food in the fridge, prepped/cooked ready to eat is huge for me. 

It was so fun to see all the meal prep pics from my Team and I's challengers this weekend! We are all SO pumped to begin!

(Day 0 Vlog for the Coach Test Group)

My Goals for these 30 days?

- Complete all the workouts.

- Stick to the Eating Plan (100%) 

- Be transparent. Share this journey as a whole. Highs, lows, and in between.

- Have a positive attitude. This is a BLESSING!

My 21 Day Ultimate Reset Journey: Week 1: Phase 1 Reclaim

Hi Everyone! Well I'm happy to report that I survived  week 1 of my 21 day reset journey! Phase 1 is called "reclaim" and it's purpose is to gradually remove animal products and refined foods from your diet while adding lots of veggies. I planned a head of time and the week prior to beginning I went down to 1/2 cup coffee each day which I think made a HUGE difference in my caffeine detox through week 1. No caffeine is allowed and as a coffee lover I didn't know if I could get through this without it. I made a promise to myself I was going to do this program 100% and see it through so that's what I'm doing. The first 3 days I had a slight headache. Each day I noticed my headache would go away after taking my Power Greens/Alkaline Supplement. And each early afternoon I truly looked forward to my delicious vegan chocolate Shakeology as my snack to keep me dialed in on my nutrition tell dinner.

The recipes in week 1 were all amazing! I loved the zucchini cashew soup, which I will be sharing the recipe for on my blog later this week. I also loved the salmon recipe and the nori rolls! Yum! Did I mention miso soup? Yes I loved week 1's meals!

Day 1's breakfast and a walk with family.

Day 2. This was a super yummy day as well! I loved the Southwestern Veggie tacos!

Day 3. One of my favorite meal days. Super yummy!

Day 4

Day 5: Packed my lunch on the go as we took it into tow. You can see a pic of the power greens you take 1 a day along with your other supplements. 

Day 6

Day 7: I'm beginning to love oatmeal! I also LOVE the sesame ginger miso dressing recipe.

Want more info on my week 1? Here is my video recap:

 On day 7 I took my stats to see my progress. I was shocked! In 6 days I had lost 4.6 lbs and 4.65 inches! 1 inch of my hips and 1.5 inches off my waist. Wow! The best progress though is I'm sleeping better than I've slept in YEARS. Day 6 sleep was my best sleep in over 5 years. I also don't feel that "I need coffee before you speak to me" grogginess I used to in the morning. I wake up happy, full of energy and alert. 

Want more information on how you can begin your 21 Day Ultimate Reset Journey to taking charge of your health? You can email me at CoachJennyM@gmail.com or click HERE.

I'll see you again at the end of week 2!
