Core de Force Week 1 Log! 

WHEW! 

What a week and test this program has been for me! I have found myself extremely winded and confused as to how I got so out of shape! (carrying a child for 28 weeks will do that to you, apparently!) 

My core strength is TOAST and halfway through Day 1’s workout, I knew I was in for a wild ride! But, SO WORHT IT! I am learning to trust the process and not weighing myself at all again until Thursday morning before Thanksgiving! 

My honest thoughts on the program is that it’s HARDER than I thought it would be— not just because I am that out of shape, but I just have never actually moved my body in this way. Joel & Jericho do an awesome job of breaking down the moves, though! And let’s just talk about that modifier…. SHE’S MY BEST FRIEND! There is a track where you can split the screen and have her on half the screen the whole time to see the modified moves, which I LOVE, because some of the harder upper body moves I am really struggling with still. 

What I REALLY love about the program is how quickly I am noticing strength and endurance returning. Like I said, I haven’t stepped on the scale yet and I’m not going to for a couple more weeks, but on Day 1 and Day 2, I could barely walk. I repeated those workouts according to the calendar— Day 1 repeats on Day 3 and Day 2 repeats on Day 6 and the difference just in that short time made me feel really great and REALLY PROUD! I did more push-ups on my toes during the Dynamic Strength workout and I didn’t have to take nearly as many breaks. 

I was also excited to see that the meal plan guide uses the color coded containers! Those are so extremely helpful when prepping and planning your meals & they break down the portion controls so incredibly well. It makes that daunting task seem like a breeze! 
Week 1 Meal Plan! 



Overall, I am just so anxious to see where I’m at on Day 30! My TEST GROUP for this program is officially kicking off on Monday, November 14th and are currently in their PREP WEEK getting situated and settled for success! 

Think this program might be one you'd be interested in? There's still time to join us! Fill out this form & I will be in touch soon! 

All my joy!

Francesca Joy Molitierno: Part 1

September 24th, 2016 I am staring to write this account of the past couple of days just one day after birthing our beautiful baby, Francesca Joy. Frankie was too beautiful for this earth, but I am blessed to have had her live and feel her spunky spirit inside of me for 27 weeks. I had envisioned the spirit of this child as I grew to know her (we didn’t know her gender until we found out she had passed) & I loved the way she brought us all so much joy, even though we never got to see her sweet face until her soul had carried on. I hope I can do her story justice, but feel fully inclined to start her story in reverse while the past few days and experiences are the most fresh in my mind. By writing this, I hope to bring some joy, peace, and calmness to other parents who may have to deal with this type of grief and loss in the future. I haven’t even begun to experience half of mine, but already know I am going to need help and stories to guide me through. So, here is ours. The sto

Friday Baby Faves!

 I'm listing my most FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTION: What are your favorite baby items?! I will update this list every Friday with one thing we loved when she was newborn, one thing I use all the time now, and one of Daddy's faves!  1. Snoo Bassinet. This was literally the best purchase and well worth the money for us. You can also rent the snoo to save money, especially if you want to try it out first and see if your babe likes it or you know you won't be having any more kids.  https://www.happiestbaby.com/products/snoo-smart-bassinet 2. North States Play yard . We love this thing so much, we bought a second. It's big enough for her to crawl around and play, watch tv, lounge, etc. We also have the one downstairs set up as a gate blocking her off from the tv stand.  https://amzn.to/3kJlAXQ 3. Boppy Nursing Pillow (more for lounging, I prefered the My Breast Friend pillow for nursing! see my nursing faves list  here ) https://amzn.to/37TEEPk 4. Zippadee Zip Sleep Sack  we u
