Round 2, week 1 of #21dayfix Beachbody Fitness program by Autumn Calabrese

Started Round 2 last Monday March 24th. I took a week off to go to the beach and didn't do very well with my eating while I was gone. :-( So I was excited to start back into the program and begin Round 2. My mom is still waiting for her kit, so I guess I'll do Round 3 with her!!

I end up planning out my menu before the day starts and I eat alot of the same meals over and over again, so I'm not going to post as many pictures as I did for Round 1.

Two things I'm doing differently this round...
First, I changed what calorie bracket I'm eating from. I'm going to stay in the 1200-1499 calorie bracket which means less fruit and carbs.
Second, I'm going to do double workouts on most days so I workout out for more than 30 minutes. I'm also going to use heavier hand weights than I did in Round 1.

Here are some of my food pictures from this week: 





My exercise pictures from round 2, week 1!

I missed my Saturday workout of doing Dirty 30, but did a 30 min swim lesson with my 3 year old and then went shopping with the family! (LOL can you count shopping and holding all the bags as exercise??!!)

I am pleased with how most of my week went except for on Thurs and Saturday. I was sugar free for over a week but then had a cupcake on Thursday that my boss brought me! ARGH!! Then on saturday I was gone most of the day and didn't log my food or use any of my containers!! BOOO!! I hate it when I don't have a good eating week!! Ready for week 2!!

Follow up from Fabletics and Ellie Reviews from November

First, I almost never post negative reviews or feedbacks on companies because I don't like to post negativity on my blog and peoples opinions and experiences are always different from some one elses... but I am going to discuss my PERSONAL opinion and reviews of Fabletics and Ellie because I've posted about them before and I've recommended them. 

So back in November I posted about my two month subscription purchases from the new Fabletics site.
My post can be found here:
http://crafts-n-fitness.blogspot.com/2013/11/fabletics-2-month-review-with-pictures.html

It is now several months later and I haven't been able to wear any of the clothes I purchased from them because its either too big or too small. The larges are too big around my waist but tight on my thighs and the mediums are too small. They must not be made for curvy girls. I tried Fabletics because I've been frustrated with Ellie's customer service, lack of choices and slow shipping. I liked the Fabletics site, choices and fast shipping. However, I felt like some of the pictures were deceiving. I ordered a blue top and it was super long, not at all how they pictured it online. I decided to cancel after 2 months and practially had to go thru an act of congress and over 45 mins just to cancel my account. Once I did, I haven't gotten any more charges on my credit card so that was good. They offered to send me a free outfit if I didn't cancel, but honestly I didn't want to call back again to cancel so I told her I wasn't wearing the outfits I already purchased so it didn't make sense at the time. Periodically I got on their website to check out the new stuff and I am tempted but then I remember I have enough workout clothes! ;-)

Next onto Ellie...I have been ordering from them for over one year now. I was an "ambassdaor" for several months and had 3 different contacts with the company. They changed from PV Body to Ellie, then changed their prices, changed their website, now changed their subscription packages... and the entire time I kept giving them the benefit on the doubt because they were a new company. But each time I got a new Ellie company ambassador contact I'd wonder, why do their employees keep leaving? I finally deleted my ambassador coupon and link off my blog side bar because they said they weren't offering discounts anymore thru links and they didn't' have an ambassador pgoram. (when I asked about it online last month, someone said they were still an ambassador, so who knows??!!)

I can't recommend their site any longer to people because I feel its really deceitful to charge peoples credit cards and then wait 3-6 weeks to ship products to people!! They have always had slow shipping, but its absolutely ridiculous to not even SHIP a product out until a month later!! (and supposedly they said they had all the products in their warehouse to ship so that people didn't have to wait so long) Then its another week or two before I get my package after they ship. When customers ask for tracking info or shipping updates, they are given false information or never answered on facebook.

Back in December, they revamped their website and overnight totally changed their ordering and subscription packages without notifying or telling any of their customers!! One day you could order 2 pieces for 49.95 with free shipping, the next day they offered package deals for 49.95 and UP! and some customers have to pay for shipping now. It appears they were copying the exact structure and ordering guidelines as Fabletics. Hmmm... I liked having the flexibility to order 2 pants or 2 tops every month-any two pieces, not an outfit of a top and bottom that was pre selected and matched by the company. :-(

So I didn't order anything from Ellie for Jan or Feb as I waited for them to work out the kinks of the new ordering and got things under control. On March 1st I placed an order from their new collection, a top and bottom...actually honestly I don't even remember what I ordered, seriously!! and its March 28th and I have no package from Ellie and no shipping info from them. and of course my credit card was charged on March 1st! -sigh-

I LOVE Ellies colors and designs (for the most part) which is why I've ordered from them almost every month and stuck with them thru all the company changes-multiple changes.. the quality of the pieces and stretch is fantastic! I wear Ellie exercise tops and bottoms (I have mostly bottoms) multiple times a week!

But sadly I don't feel like I can recommend them or that I should even bother ordering from them anymore. I'm sad because its a great concept to have a monthly exercise clothes subscription...I guess I'll just stick to Old Navy and Kohls active wear when it goes on sale.

Have you had any experiences with Ellie or Fabletics?? What did you think?

RedStar Sunglasses Review and Pictures and FREE sunglasses (just pay S/H) for my readers!!


I received a free pair of sunglasses this weekend from RedStar for blog review. These are the ones I picked out online because I like steel frames and not thick ones. Plus the leopard print is super cool!! :-)







What is RedStar Shades??
https://www.redstarshades.com/faq

They came in a great case and cloth to clean the lenses.




My hubby thinks they are a little big for my face but I like them! 






I am impressed with the sturdiness and quality of these glasses. Obviously I haven't had them very long to vouch for their durability, but honestly even if they don't last every long, $15 is a steal for a fashionable pair of sunglasses!! 

If you want to check them out, here my referral shopping link: (i do get a small commission if you decide to purchase anything!) 

Referral Link:

http://cpeq.co/CthmEn

Heres the exciting part!! 
If you use my code below, you can purchase up to $500 worth of sunglasses (thats 4 or 5 pairs!!) for FREE!!! 
You only pay shipping and handling on each pair!! Which for my hubby was a little less than $15 each pair. SUCH a great deal!! He decided to use my code to buy two pairs because he was jealous of mine! LOL  

Use MTA14 for the $500 Redstar gift card towards your purchase. 

Have you ever purchased from RedStar? 
Check out the website and let me know what sunglasses you like.. you can never have too many pairs... 

EDITED TO ADD:
I have looked up reviews online and I know RedStar does not have very good reviews, but they were several years ago so I am willing to give them the benefit of the doubt. I will let you know ASAP if I have unauthorized CC charges or issues that you need to be aware about. I did go thru my husbands new account info very carefully to make sure he was not enrolled in any monthly sunglasses program which reviews suggest. From everything I've read we will not be shipped anything further than the two pairs we bought and we are not enrolled in anything extra. We used our CC not our bank card so I will monitor the account closely.

PB2 Peanut Butter Chocolate Protein Shake!

Tried PB2 for the first time today! (its a powdered peanut butter with less calories than traditional peanut butter)
I made a chocolate peanut butter protein shake for my breakfast. I've posted my recipe below. I will need to play around with it because it didn't make a full Ninja shaker cup and its a little thinner texture that I would have wanted. I don't like my shakes thick but I hate when they're really watery.

It was super easy to make and blend and the taste is really good!! I was pleasantly surprised and can't wait to try it again.

Any suggestions on how to make it thicker?
Any recipes that you like to make while using PB2??

Todays Recipe:
1 scoop VeganSmart Chocolate protein powder by Naturade
2 tablespoons PB2 Powder
1 cup water
1 banana
couple spinach leaves
couple icecubes

My new Gym room!!

Back in August, my hubby and I bought out first house together. We went from a one level multi family house to a 2 story with a full basement house all our own!!

One of the things I was excited about was to convert half the basement into our family exercise room. (another section is my craft area-whoohoo!!)

It is still a work in progress, but every so often we are able to add things and make improvements to our gym area. I am LOVING it!! The most recent additions were the clock, hanging the mirrors, and hanging the hooks in the walls. I love to put things on the wall so I can see them to use them and to keep things off the floor so I have more space.

Here's what it looks like right now:
