L.A… I don't have to worry about being out of the country. It's not a long travel day. Getting to the Maldives was two full days of flying. I love Miami, it's literally my favorite." While in South Florida, Autumn enjoys staying at 1 Hotel South Beach, boating, and allowing friends to take her to their favorite local spots. "I was just there two months ago. I took my son for a week; we were in the Keys for six days and then his dad flew out and got him. One of my other girlfriends flew into town and we went to the J. Lo concert. We just had a whole Girls' Weekend — super fun." With 2020 just around the corner, at the time of our interview, I had to ask Autumn if she had any New Year's resolutions. The tenacious entrepreneur doesn't make resolutions, however, she does have an ongoing list of goals she wants to accomplish. Presently, Autumn is developing some new stuff for Beachbody, and just enjoying the creative process. "What do I like? What's working? What haven't I seen? What have I seen too much of? What am I tired of seeing? That's sorta where I'm at. The goal is putting out the best product possible." She would like to do more in apparel and is working on a skincare line —for people who love to be active and don't want to worry about clogged pores— with her medically-licensed facialist. Her ultimate goal is a healthy, organic food line based on her recipes and cooking show. "Everything from frozen foods, but healthy, for the busy mom or dad that's coming home and wants to be able to give their family a healthy meal… There's no preservatives and there's no fake stuff in there. I feel like it will happen in the next five years… I would love to do that." It has always been a dream of Autumn's to have a fitness program so known that it was mentioned in a song. "That's how you know your program made it, when they start rapping about it! I even said, 'I wonder how you get to be Tony Horton.' And then ten years later, I got to be Tony Horton." Autumn is living proof that you have to keep dreaming big. ML Keep up with Autumn on Instagram and Twitter @AutumnCalabrese and https://www.autumncalabrese.com What are your favorite meals from your fixate cookbook? "I love our meatloaf. I love our sloppy joes. My son loves macaroni and cheese with broccoli and chicken. Anything that has cheese, really, he's thrilled about. I can't eat eggs, I'm allergic to eggs, so I had my brother create a tofu omelette —love that. We have a Fixate turkey sausage recipe, a lot of times I'll make that. We don't do a casing, it's just ground turkey seasoned to taste like breakfast sausage. You can either sauté it in a pan so it's like browned turkey crumbs or you can turn it into patties. More often than not I do mine in patties. We have these maple rosemary muffins. I'll do that on a maple rosemary muffin and then it's my own breakfast sandwich; it's so good. We've done a lot of one-pot meals. We try to keep the recipes to not take longer than 20-30 minutes total...nobody wants to be in the kitchen hours on end. We have these lemon bars that I absolutely love. We have a series of no-bake pies… We have these shortbread cookies that my brother did, that I love. There's these, they're a mix between a cupcake and a muffin, like a chocolate peanut butter quasi-cupcake, quasi-muffin — those are amazing.""
