So I asked what workouts you guys want to see first on Facebook and it looks like back and biceps and legs were the two highest. Since I love posting my legs workouts I think I will start off with the back and bicep workout for a little variety. This is what I will be doing for the next few weeks – I usually change my workouts every couple of weeks. Note: This order was strictly because of convenience due to the traffic at the gym, normally I would put the supersets at the beginning, but doing it this way I was dying by the end. I do back exercises with a weight that I can do 8-10 reps with the last few reps being difficult. For biceps I do 12-15 reps and...
Read MoreSo my eats have been all over the place lately, mostly because I am getting back into a regular routine after finishing finals. That’s right, I AM DONE WITH LAW SCHOOL FINALS!! I don’t have any finals for my classes next semester and I am so excited that my next test I take will be the Bar exam. Now I am just going to work and get ready for all the fun wedding events coming up I got my dress on Monday and I am going to have my first fitting next month. And the bridal shower is in exactly one month so I am going to up my cardio and yoga and really clean up my food. I had quite a few indulgences during finals. That being said, here are some of my eats...
Read MoreSo I promised you guys I would share my plan with you and I can’t lie – I didn’t make one last weekend because I had a little too much fun at a bridal expo with one of my friends Work has been busy lately and I have to leave my house at 7:15am to get there by 8:00am so that means I literally can only work out for 30 minutes in the AM because my gym opens at 5:30. Some of these I will just have to do after work. I think this is going to be my plan for the next few weeks – you’ll notice I write the upper body ones out so that I can superset if I want (often I will if I’m running short on time). Sunday: Bis/Tris cardio or plyos 3...
Read MoreI am super excited to let you guys know that I was asked to try out three new recipes from The Eat Clean Diet Vegetarian Cookbook wa-bam! This is really exciting because I know a lot of you are vegetarian or vegan and have asked me how to Eat Clean with that type of lifestyle and I will be honest – I didn’t have a lot of answers because that isn’t my lifestyle. This opportunity will be a lot of fun because it isn’t my typical way of eating and also because I will be able to give you guys some meatless options. And of course any opporunity where I can be involved in The Eat Clean Diet is one I will jump at because I really do believe in the...
Read MoreSo today and yesterday were days 79 and 80 of the trainer. I did the same thing I did last week (I am over chest) and added in an extra shoulder day.

Sorry so short but laundry, cooking and packing calls my name. Hope everyone is having a wonderful...
Read MoreUnfortunately I won’t be back for a WIAW for a few more weeks – probably the last week of March – mostly because my eats are boring and also because I keep forgetting to takes pics of it – oops! So in the last week I have been receiving all kinds of goodies from a variety of places and I keep wanting to share and then I keep getting busy – so here we go! First I got my goodies from Firedaughter - she is amazing and her clothes are super cute and comfty. I am OBSESSED. THEN I got one of my prizes from Get Fit Naturally – my Gym Girl gloves they aren’t too girly – which is great for me and they are super comfy. I really...
Read MoreSo this last weekend was super busy and I haven’t had time to post about any of my workouts. The end of Week 9 was great even though I had to shorten my workout for Day 62 due to time constraints. I kind of did a ‘pick and choose’ for that day and then did 15 minutes of sprints. This week started Week 10 of the LiveFit trainer and hi and low carb days – rough! I still don’t have them down exactly but I am just basing them off of her example here. Saturday we had some daytime fun with friends and the Fatkid’s dad and his wife who were in town visiting us. Somehow I only have two pics with the four of us in them and the Fatkid has...
Read MoreSugar is NOT my friend. Yesterday was easily the worst day I have had in terms of the LiveFit trainer. And a little too late I saw it coming and then just chose to say ‘screw it’ and pretty much threw the day out the window. My schedule ended up being completely off yesterday and so I didn’t pack any meals because I thought I would be home in time for them. I wasn’t. By the time I got home I was starving and irritated and grabbed two of the peanut butter balls I made for the contest. As soon as I ate them I realized that it probably wasn’t a great idea because they are made with honey and I don’t eat sugar that often. I pretty much...
Read MoreI realized I never post pics of us so I’m trying to do that more Today was the last day of Phase 2 and I had a great back workout Then we headed down to see my fam for an early birthday celebration for my dad. I had an amazing dish of chicken stuffed with spinach and Boursin on wild rice. Soooooo good!! Now it’s off to watch a movie hope everyone is enjoying their...
Read MoreYesterday was the conclusion of LiveFit Week 7 and it was back day. I like the workout but came home and desperately wanted a peanut butter and jelly sandwich. Instead, I made an almond butter and jelly protein pancake. I actually hate strawberry jelly but I made it with strawberries because that was all I had. Today I bought some blackberries to try that next time. Ingredients: 6 egg whites 2 tbsp coconut flour 2 tbsp oat bran 1 tbsp flaxseeed 1/2 tbsp chia seeds 3-4 strawberries (I will prob add more next time) cinnamon Directions: Blend together and put in a pan. I didn’t think about and poured the whole thing in. *Next time I will make 2-3 smaller ones...
