Rude people.
I am going to apologize in advance because I don’t normally post rants but this is going to be one. I know that I lead a healthy lifestyle. I do NOT restrict myself from food or drinks or activities with my friends because I am worried about getting “fat”. I try to eat the way I do because I literally have an intolerance to gluten. Not because I don’t WANT to eat pizza. Who doesn’t want pizza?? But if I ate it all the time I would be physically ill and covered in eczema all the time. I go to the gym 5 days a week because I LOVE it. It makes me feel better physically, emotionally and mentally. I don’t get mad at myself when I...

Read MoreGluten Free (Paleo-ish) Protein Pancakes! Amazing!
First off, thank you guys for your comments and email about my meltdown and the VLOG. I loved hearing the feedback from everyone – makes my day! Also, my finger survived and everyone was close, I sliced it after food prep cleaning the knife because – get this! – I didn’t want to leave it in the sink and have someone else cut themselves. Cool. The Fatkid’s face was priceless when he saw it but sent me into hysterics. I was sobbing hysterically up until I was getting treated. Thankfully it was pretty much the most perfect way to slice my finger open with no permanent damage (other than the scar) and should heal in 7-10 days. Just in time...

Read MoreGiant Leg Set and Lower Abs!!
So yesterday because my week was all screwed up I just did my own leg workout that I made up as I went along. I am dying today from soreness and I was so exhausted at the end yesterday that I literally forgot to do my calves. So happy I am feeling better. I swear my quads (flexed in the top right) take over everything I do for legs – darn things! Here you go!! Giant Squat Set: Bar – 20 reps Bar + 20lbs 15 reps Bar + 30 lbs 12 reps Bar + 40lbs 10 reps Bar + 50lbs 8 reps Bar + 70bs 6 reps Bar + 50lbs 8 reps Bar + 40 lbs 10reps Bar + 30 lbs 12 reps Bar + 20lbs 15 reps Bar -20 reps I didn’t hit all of the reps on the way down but I pushed out as many...
Read MoreTaking a Break from the Gym and a Mini-Meltdown
So exactly a week ago I posted this picture on Instagram and noticed that while I was getting leaner, I was also getting smaller. That morning my knee was also killing me so I didn’t do sprints. Then Friday night the Fatkid and I were getting ready for dinner when we both realized that I looked too thin and we figured out that I have lost about 5-6 pounds in the last few weeks. This is not good. It means even though I think I am handling all the stress well, my body is not. It was confirmed when I went to the gym Saturday morning for legs – my favorite thing to do – and I could barely push through. I decided on Sunday that this week I would set my...
Read MoreTwo Year Blogiversary
So our Two Year Blogiversary has come and gone it was February 26th and last year I had a great post for it and I have my first ever blog post too. This year I was so slammed with life that I did post on Facebook about it and even though we didn’t get to 10,000 Likes the day OF our Blogiversary, we got there the day after so I am going to host a giveaway with FireDaughter Clothing – my all time favorite local workout clothing designer. Samya is amazing. I am going to give her a minute to get back to normal before I host it because she has a loss in her family she is dealing with so I will probably do it next week. So a little late but Happy Two Year...
Read MoreAnother leg workout :)
Legs! Leg day makes me happy. It’s exhausting and takes a long time but I love when my legs are sore because it means they are working and I am working hard. My leg workouts have been pretty much the same lately but here you go! I change up the weight and reps all the time. Leg Extensions: 3×10 Lying leg curls: 3×10, superset with jump squats Incline leg press: 10 with toes at edge, 10 with feet together Squats: 3×10, superset with jumping lunges Plie squats: 3×10, superset with side lunges holding a plate: 3×10 Single leg calf raises: holding a plate do as many as you can until failure and then drop the plate and go to failure again,...
Read MoreLeg Workout for January
Hey everyone! I hope you liked the back and bicep workout I posted if you tried it I did it again this morning with a friend and she was dying at the end too. Is it weird that that makes me happy??

Read MoreBack and Biceps for January/February
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...
