If you keep doing what you’ve always done, then you’ll stay where you are. If you eat what you’ve always eaten, then you’ll weigh what you’ve always weighed.

Summer is HERE! Are you feeling confident in fewer clothes, or even a bathing suit? Are you ready to have that confidence? Ready to feel better about yourself? Ready for change? Ready for energy and feeling healthy and fit?

And the 4th is coming this weekend! And MAYBE, you want to kick back and relax. MAYBE you want to indulge. It’s a holiday of food, fun, friends and family! MAYBE you’re planning to enjoy a beverage or two…..or even three. MAYBE you’re planning to eat ribs, fully loaded burgers, ice cream sundaes, and desserts. I totally get it! I understand.

But you're reading this, so I know you want to increase your energy, get fitter and healthier! So, I’m starting a new accountability group and I am INVITING YOU!!

WHAT CAN YOU EXPECT FROM MY GROUP?

§ Daily support
§ 1:1 guidance
§ Accountability
§ Tips
§ Meal plans
§ Motivation
§ Connection between other driven people with similar goals!
§ RESULTS

Beachbody programs continue to be the most popular home fitness DVD work out programs and the most effective…WHY…because they WORK!

And if you’re thinking you just can’t do it or it won’t work for you then I CHALLENGE you to give me 30 days. Follow the meal plan, drink your Shakeology EVERY DAY, press play to a 30 minute workout and hold yourself accountable and I PROMISE you the results will follow!  The group starts on Monday, July 27th!

My first 3 new challengers who purchase a challenge pack from now until July 10th will receive a FREE copy of the 21 Day Fix Fixate cookbook.
EVERYONE who purchases a challenge pack after that will be entered into a drawing for a special prize!

How does it work?


1. You make me your coach by going to my Beachbody site and creating a free profile which makes me your COACH!

2. I help you choose the right program for your goals.

3. You purchase the challenge pack (workout program + Shakeology) that we chose for your goals.

4. You are required to replace Shakeology with 1 meal each day for the very best results. My goal is to teach you how to plan and prepare the other meals of the day so that you get the results you are looking for. At the end of the 30 days the choice is yours to continue with Shakeology or not.

5. You must check in daily to the private online group to rate your day, be accountable and engage in the group discussion of the day.

That's it! You get to workout in your own home (only 30 minute workouts), but be connected to me 24/7 for support, fitness, recipes, nutrition and tips!

What you can expect from me is meal planning help, choosing the foods you like, or that you require (works with any diet that is vegetarian, gluten-free, or dairy free), support, accountability, tips on how to eat while on vacation or summer travel, suggestions and advice on how to prevent emotional eating, and lots of inspiration and motivation.

The secret to getting enough water in your day!

Daily water requirement, daily water intake, secret to drinking more water, how to drink more water, cleanse, how water helps the body, vanessamc246, the butterfly effect, change one thing change everything.Every day I drink all the water I need. I RARELY miss a day of my required water intake and usually have more.  How do I do this? What's my secret? I going to share it with you. I channel my college days!!  Let me explain.

Clean eating incorporates drinking lots of water.

Water should be the drink you reach for before anything else! It is critical your eating clean. Losing and maintaining weight depend on adequate hydration.

Our bodies our made up of about 75% water, and most of that percentage is stored in your skin. We need water to survive and to repair the body. It flushes out toxins, repairs sore muscles, regulates body temperature, keeps joints mobile, maintains tissue health, and can even stave off hunger. Sometimes, thirst disguises itself as hunger.

The simple formula to find out how much daily water intake you need:

Half your body weight in ounces of water each day.

This is A LOT of water. Even for the 120 pound person, this is 60 ounces of water. That's almost a half gallon of water!! Ease into your required amount if you are not used to having that much! The first few days are rough but once you get used to it this will seem like no big deal! I'm going to share some of my strategies on how to make sure you sip all day long!

To make sure I get my daily required intake, I drink a 16 oz. glass of water before each meal.

Here are some other strategies to get the water flowing:
  • Flavor water with lemon, fruit, vegetables, and herbs
  • Drink unsweetened sparkling water, regular or flavored
  • Fill up bottles with your daily water intake, then set your alarm at specified times during the day to drink that bottle
  • Mark a gallon jug or other bottles filled with water with an hours of the day timeline. So by 10:00, you must drink down to that marker, and by noon, the next marker and so on.
  • If all else fails, and I'm behind on my water for the day, here is my secret: 



What are your strategies to make sure you get the amount you need? Would love to hear them!



*** FUN FACTS ABOUT WATER!! ***

Water removes dangerous toxins from our bodies!

Water cushions our body's joints!

Water helps aid in weight loss/regulation!

Water transports oxygen and nutrients to the cells in our body!

Water helps to regulate body temp!

Water defends against blood clots!

Water helps fight headaches!

Water helps keep our skin clear and healthy!

Warm water stimulates the immune system!

Cold water reduces inflammation!

These are just a FEW examples of what water does for our body!!

Drink up!! I always have room temp and icy cold!!

Aim to drink at least 1/2 of your body weight in ounces each day

My 3 Day Refresh Results for #TransformationTuesday!!


3 Day Refresh, Beachbody, Cleanse, weightloss, clean eating, vanessamc246, change one thing change everything, the butterfly effect, Shakeology
A few weeks ago, I had plateaued with my weight loss. Then one weekend I indulged a bit, and just started feeling bloated and puffy. So, I decided to do the 3 Day Refresh. I planned to start the following weekend.

3 Day Refresh, Beachbody, Cleanse, weightloss, clean eating, vanessamc246, change one thing change everything, the butterfly effect, ShakeologyI  choose days where I knew I would not have temptations. It’s tough for me not to munch and snack
at work, so I chose to start on Saturday. I snack less and stay on track at home, where I stay busy and distract myself. I had no food events for the weekend and my husband was traveling, all which allowed me to focus on the Refresh. To help ensure my success even more, I had some accountability partners: my friend, Peg, and my sister, Francesca. By checking in with each other, throughout the three days, we kept each other accountable, motivated each other, and supported one another.

So, after three days what were my results?
I lost FOUR pounds on the refresh. I felt 100% better, no bloating or fullness, I had energy and my cravings were gone for sweets, and on the fourth day I continued with my clean eating recipes and meal plan!

Was I hungry? Not at all. The Refresh allowed me to eat meals, lighter than I normally would, but I got to eat REAL food, which with the shakes kept me feeling full. Because I do better with routine, I
3 Day Refresh, Beachbody, Cleanse, weightloss, clean eating, vanessamc246, change one thing change everything, the butterfly effect, Shakeology
ate the same 3 meals all 3 days, without much variation.

I did light workouts during the Refresh to make sure that vigorous exercise didn’t spur my appetite. However, if you experience any dizziness during a workout on the Refresh definitely stop, rest, and drink water.

3 Day Refresh, Beachbody, Cleanse, weightloss, clean eating, vanessamc246, change one thing change everything, the butterfly effect, ShakeologyDay 1

The first day was easy. I drank my Vanilla Shakeology in the morning with half a banana and cinnamon, did some house cleaning, some crafts with my kids, took them to the movies, did errands, and just kept busy.

At mid-morning I chugged the fiber sweep. With no flavor and a consistency of watery cream of wheat, the only choice is too chug. If you let the fiber sweep sit in water for too long, it turns chunky.

Peg messaged me later that day, that the Fiber Sweep tasted better and was easier to drink with a squeeze of lemon, and I vowed to try it the next day. I loved eating my fresh fruit and my vegetables. I chose ones that I really enjoy and just felt fresh and light! At lunch, I got fancy, and put my shake in a fun cup! For my afternoon snack I had celery, carrot, and jicama sticks with almond butter.

I also did the 21 Day Fix 30 minute Pilates workout. I drank a gallon of water, green tea and made it through the day. I checked in with Peg and my sister in my accountability group throughout the day.

                                            Day 2

3 Day Refresh, Beachbody, Cleanse, weightloss, clean eating, vanessamc246, change one thing change everything, the butterfly effect, Shakeology
Weighing myself on this day, I was already down two pounds! This motivated me!

The second day was slightly more challenging, but again, I kept busy preparing for the week ahead, doing laundry, playing with the kids, did some yard work, and watched a movie with my boys.

3 Day Refresh, Beachbody, Cleanse, weightloss, clean eating, vanessamc246, change one thing change everything, the butterfly effect, ShakeologyI drank my Vanilla Shakeology in the morning blended with half a banana and cinnamon again. I started loving drinking my shakes from pretty and fun glasses. And Peg was right! The Fiber Sweep wasn't bad at all with a squeeze of lemon. Lunch was my favorite meal. I mixed chopped avocado, tomatoes, and sweet red, yellow, and orange peppers, and squeezed lemon juice over the veggies. Also for lunch, I drank the Vanilla Fresh shake and had 12 medium strawberries! Yummy and filling.

Checking in with Peg and Francesca also really helped me stay on track. Doing it together made staying on track an act of solidarity. If I started feeling hungry at all, I just messaged them, and they wrote back with words of encouragement and support. For my workout, I did the 21 Day Fix Yoga.

Day 3

3 Day Refresh, Beachbody, Cleanse, weightloss, clean eating, vanessamc246, change one thing change everything, the butterfly effect, ShakeologyThis day was my biggest challenge. It was Monday, and I had to go back to work, where I sit behind
a desk all day, and all I want to do is munch and snack on carbs and sweets!

The night before, I had prepped and packed all my meals. I brought a portable blender for my Vanilla Fresh shake, and had my fiber sweep, lemon wedge, lunch, and snack ready in tupperware. I had my chopped veggies, avocado, and lemon juice, my strawberries which I sprinkled with cinnamon. However, I forgot my almond butter, but I had some almonds in my desk drawer, and substituted nine almonds for the almond butter.

My drive to succeed spurred me to finish strong. Until the 3:00 p.m. hunger call. This is the worst time of day for me. The time I just want to rip open a bag of pretzels, plow through some trail mix, or stuff my face with chocolate! But again, my accountability sisters cheered me on, as I cheered them! For these three days, we became each other’s biggest fans!

This is something I could totally do again! I think it is going to be a monthly routine for me. Most of the Beachbody program challenge packs are sold as bundled "kick start" packs. This means they are a special price for the workout program, Shakeology AND the 3 Day Refresh. The purpose of this bundle is to start off the health and fitness program with the Refresh, to “kick start” your results!

After the three days, and breaking my plateau, I started a strict clean eating meal plan, in effort to lose the last 10 pounds!!

5. To make frosting, combine all frosting ingredients and stir together.

21 Day Fix Transformation Tuesday!


21 Day Fix, 21 Day Fix Extreme, Autumn Calabrese, Weightloss, Clean Eating, Fitness, Transformation story
TRANSFORMATION TUESDAY from a challenger who became a coach because she had an amazing transformation and she had to share!!!

I hope this inspires you to get started today!!!!

Here is what Amanda had to say:

"This is a hard one. I've struggled with sharing my true before pictures because I didn't want to reveal how truly heavy I had let myself get. It's embarrassing and I didn't feel good about my physical self at all. I dressed to cover and hide in any way I could. Apparently I was doing a great job because I keep hearing from people "I never remember you being heavy" or "you were never big to begin with".

Well the proof is in the pudding. I was heavy. I'm 5'2" and at my heaviest I weighed... a lot for this little frame. I don't have "before" pics because I didn't let that happen. So instead I have these pictures from 2014 that were taken stealthily by excluding the one we posed for at Great Wolf Lodge. Even in that picture I was trying to cover as much as possible.

To think that I've changed my body this much blows me away. I wanted to share this because I want people to see that it can change. You can transform your arms, your hips, your abs after kids, after 30, almost 40... NOW.

Do it now.

I tried before to lose weight. I did Crossfit for 3 months of 5 day a week workouts, but I didn't change my eating. Then my coach introduced me to the 21 Day Fix and Shakeology, put me in an accountability group AND EVERYTHING changed. The containers, the clean eating, the Shakeology, the energy, the water and a whole lot of people holding me accountable.

Sharing this is hard. I've struggled for days about this. I hate these pictures of the old me. I won't let myself get there again.

YOU don't have to be uncomfortable with your physical self. My only tools were 21 Day Fix Extreme, Shakeology, 21 Day Fix, my accountability groups and my own sweat and yes, tears.

Now I'm paying it forward and helping anyone I can transform their life... yeah, it's really that profound. Everything is better and continues to just keep getting better. I'm 39 and I am in the absolute best shape of my life and I ACTUALLY AM WEARING A BIKINI!!!!"

Insanity Max 30 in Review: Week 5

Insanity Max 30 review, 30 minute workout, weight loss, the butterfly effect, change one thing, change everything, vanessamc246, vanessa mclaughlin, Insanity, Shaun T, workout
Cannot believe I am writing my halfway point review already! Thirty more days to go and I will complete the entire Insanity Max 30 program. When I started, five weeks seemed like a LONG time! It feels good to stick with my goals!

Surprisingly it has flown by!! There have been many, many temptations in the past four weeks, a handful of bad choices, and some moments where I was so sore that I couldn't sit down on my chair! I have learned so much about my body, my nutrition and my will power from this workout.

So, week five was a tough week! This program showed me I am stronger than I realized. My will power is strong when I am motivated by a challenge. I don't want to fail. I am much more likely to stick to a nutrition plan and workout when I am accountable for it, and my Max 30 accountability group keeps me on track.

Recording Max Out time for my workouts, made me competitive with myself. I wanted to increase my Max Out time for each workout! So, I used my mental power to challenge myself to sink down a little lower into the squat, to push myself a little harder and to stop slacking when I wasn’t putting in my full intensity to the workout. Do you do that with yourself? Do you give up too easily? Do you get discouraged easily? This workout is a challenge, but progress happens in the moments where I don't think you can go on! Shaun T motivates me to continue on through the workout. He reminds me, that I have the mental will to continue.

Insanity Max 30 review, 30 minute workout, weight loss, the butterfly effect, change one thing, change everything, vanessamc246, vanessa mclaughlin, Insanity, Shaun T, workoutAfter four weeks I was ready to switch it up and ready for the new workouts! Even though they were challenging, I feel like I’m getting stronger, doing less modified moves, but I’m still exhausted and sweaty at the end of 30 minutes. I push myself with each workout, but I still rarely make it to the 15 minute mark before maxing out.

The reason for that is this, when I feel myself getting stronger I just push harder at the beginning so I am still maxing out much earlier. That's the goal of this program: max out early because you are working so hard that you can't go on!

Some afternoons, I had company while working out!! I love that my 12-year-old son wants to workout with me.  He loves Shaun T, and usually has way more energy that I do!!


Here is a video clip of some of our workouts.



Max 30 Power, really tested my upper body strength! While it starts with some cardio at the beginning, the majority of the workout tests upper body strength with push up variations and leg strength with squats and lunges! While I was exhausted at the end, I felt accomplished!

Then there is Friday Fight 2! This workout will really test your physical abilities, but also your mental toughness to stick with it! DON’T QUIT! Don't turn off the DVD player until that 30 minute workout is over! Don't stop after you Max Out the first time, keep going no matter how much you want to stop! That is progress! Don't let the Max Out time defeat you! It's a process..... trust it!

The Month 2 Workout Line Up is
Monday - Max Out Cardio
Tuesday - Max Out Power
Wednesday - Max Out Sweat
Thursday - Max Out Strength
Friday - Friday Fight 2

Lets talk nutrition!

This is how I keep the late night munchies at bay: eat 3 hours before bed for best results.

So what changes am I making this week? Well I’ve switched up to drink my Shakeology as my evening snack. I need a sweet lately after dinner, so this has helped me kick my cravings. I also made sure to drink this shake, my last meal, 3 hours before going to sleep for the night. The reason behind this practice is that I want my body to rebuild muscle and burning fat instead of burning off any carbs or sugars that I ate before going to sleep.

My second focus has really been on drinking plenty of water!!! I was definitely starting to slack in this department. So I have been filling up a three Shakeology bottles every day. I bring them to work, they sit on my desk, and each day I focus on drinking all of them! That keeps me hydrated, my hunger at bay, and my body healthy!

Here is my meal plan for this week:
Insanity Max 30 Meal Menu Plan, Insanity Max 30, Beachbody, Insanity, 30 minute workouts, weightloss, clean eating, 21 Day Fix

What did I not do so well with this past week? Well I did have 2 slices of pizza for my son’s birthday party, and a slice of cake! I enjoyed it, because it was my son’s event and was worth it, but now it’s time to get serious again!

Then I had a barbeque picnic on Sunday where I had a spoonful of potato salad, a cheese veggieburger on only the bottom half of a bun (white bread), and lots of veggies, but also had a brownie and a cookie for dessert.

So for week four here is the game plan: I am planning to workout every afternoon at my typical 5:30 pm! I am going to stick to the meal plan, with NO CHEATS, pack my food every day for work and drink lots of water. I do have a special event at work on Friday, where there will be donuts, danish, and muffins, but I will eat my oatmeal and eggs for breakfast in advance, and hold a cup of coffee in my hands, so I should have no temptations! And I never think I am depriving myself, but instead I’m treating my body with respect. I don't want to have a stomach ache, feel drowsy or bloated and I certainly love the way my body feels, so that's my reward! It's all about my perspective.

Take some time today to get your weekly game plan together!

Who this is for?
Autumn Calabrese Cookbook, 21 Day Fix recipes, Who is Autumn Calabrese, Vanessa McLaughlin, Beachbody cookbook, The Butterfly effect, change one thing change everything, vanessamc246, Fixate"This book is for everybody," says Autumn. "You don't have to be graduates of 21 Day Fix or 21 Day Fix EXTREME®. You also don't have to be a chef or great in the kitchen. It's for anyone who wants to make healthier versions of the foods they love."
According to Autumn, "Everyone will use the book differently. For some, it will become their "go-to" cookbook they use every single day. Others may use it when they're going to a special event like a barbeque or party."
And in addition to all the amazing recipes, Autumn has also included a detailed checklist for her absolute must-have kitchen and pantry staples, as well as the basic utensils and tools that every cook needs.

Inside Fixate you'll find a section for every possible meal you can imagine: simple breakfasts, on-the-go lunches, sit down dinners, soups, salads, as well as healthy snacks like kale chips and protein bars.
Autumn insisted that all the "on-the-go" lunch recipes be easy and fast for working moms. "I based all of the lunches off leftovers from dinner and even breakfast," she reveals. "I turned them into delicious, easy-to-make lunch recipes." Autumn adds, "I also included a few of my favorite Shakeology recipes—even some Fix-approved skinny cocktails."
And then there's the desserts. "I have a big sweet tooth so I was really pleased with them," she says. "I especially love the brownies (made with chick peas), peanut butter cookies and cake recipes, and the desserts are all gluten-free so absolutely everyone can enjoy them."

3-Day Refresh


Beachbody, 3 Day Refresh, Cleanse, Weightloss, Gain energy,

What is the 3 Day Refresh?
The 3 Day Refresh is a scientifically designed program that helps you fast-track your weight loss, kick-start healthy eating, and get a clean break from bad nutrition habits. The 3-Day Refresh is a simple, straightforward program that will help cleanse your body and improve the way you feel -- WITHOUT STARVING YOURSELF!!
Unlike juice cleanses or liquid fasts which tend to be high and sugar and low in protein (leaving you feeling weak, hungry, and sluggish), this easy to follow program helps support your metabolism while nourishing your vital organs.
For three days you'll follow a program of three shakes a day, a fiber drink, plenty of water, plus a wide variety of fresh fruits, vegetables and healthy fats throughout the day to keep your energy and metabolism going.

Check out MY RESULTS with the 3-Day Refresh!

Why Refresh? 
Maybe you overate on the weekend, or ate too much junk, and want to get back on track. Perhaps you simple want to lose the last few pounds. Maybe you used to eat healthy, but feel of the wagon and are ready to climb back on. Or maybe you've never eaten healthy and are ready to start. Sometimes you want to drop a few quick pounds for an upcoming social event, or kickstarting a new workout program and want to shift into high gear. Or maybe, you just want a few days of clean eating to feel balanced and "refreshed."

Whatever your reason, we all have times when we want to get our nutrition back on track , and that is what the 3 Day Refresh is designed to do.

This program is the easiest way to break the cycle of bad eating habits while creating new ones, conquer your cravings, flatten your stomach, feel lighter and more energized, sleep more soundly, detoxify your body, and dramatically improve the way you feel -- ALL WITHOUT STARVING!!


How do you "Refresh"?
For three days you'll have a nutrient dense Shakeology shake for breakfast along with a fruit option; a fiber sweep digestive drink later in the morning; a high-protein Vanilla Fresh shake for lunch, with fresh fruit, vegetables and healthy fat options throughout the afternoon.  For dinner, you drink another Vanilla Fresh shake along with a choice of easy to make dinner recipes. You can also have tea twice daily, but avoid all processed foods, canned fruits and veggies, sweeteners and dairy.  You must also drink at least half your weight in ounces per day of water or more!! You are truly cutting back to the basics to cut the bloating and help you lose weight.

So, with the basic refresh kit you get 3 Shakeology packets, 3 packets of the fiber sweep, 6 packets of the vanilla refresh, a nutrition guide with recipes and meal plans, and program manual.

What to expect when you're Refreshing:
The 3-Day Refresh is a low calorie program (about 1,000) per day, but becasue the shakes and fresh food selections are high in protein and fiber, they will help keep you satisfied throughout the day.

Because you're at such a low calorie level, for these three days, keep exercise light.  Yoga and walking are perfect options.

The biggest question that people ask me is this... Am I going to be on the toilet for 3 days? Nope not at all. There was no surprises or out of the ordinary experiences. The only thing you could possibly experience is a little fullness in your stomach or gas from the extra fiber if your body is not used to that. This is normal and is totally OK. That means the cleanse is working and doing its thing. So just chug water and go with it! It's very short lived if it happens to you at all.

It's incredibly important to stay hydrated during the three days. Water is the body's lubricant and is required for every major process. It keeps your digestion flowing, flushed out toxins, keeps your system balanced and helps control sugar!! Drink at least half your body weight in ounces or more every day!



The cleanse can be bought as a challenge pack or just the 3 day packets. You need to drink Shakeology during the cleanse so if you do not have Shakeology you will want to buy the challenge pack. If you already have Shakeology you would only need to purchase the 3 days worth of packs. The picture to the right shows the 3 days worth that I purchased since I already have my Shakeology. You can purchase the 3 Day Refresh Challenge pack thru my site if you would like to give it a try.
