I 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 because I am adding an extra day of legs in at the beginning of Weeks 1 & 2 (yesterday I did legs), today is technically Day 9 for me on the trainer even though I did the workout from Day 8. Sorry if it’s confusing at all. It won’t be once I get past this week because I won’t have to add in the extra day. I felt like crap yesterday so I slept in this morning but I made sure to pack all my stuff for the gym to go right after school. I was debating just going home (still didn’t feel good) but the gym won after I saw this on Pinterest. I’m so glad it did because it was a quick (40 minute) workout but my triceps were dying at the...
Read MoreDay 1 of Jamie Eason’s Live Fit Trainer (and goal of waking up at 6:30) Well….I failed at waking up at 6:30 (I got up at 7) but there is always tomorrow. This is what Day One of the trainer looks like. I like it because after the holidays (and not working out) it is nice to sort of ease into this program. I am probably going to add an extra leg day as well because I want to work out 5-6 days to make sure it’s part of my routine during school from the get go. Wide Pushups 3 sets of 12 reps 1 min rest Dumbbell Bench Press 3 sets of 12 reps 1 min rest Flat Bench Cable Flyes 3 sets of 12 reps 1 min rest Narrow Pushups 3 sets of 12 reps 1...
Read MoreSo I am finally back. I will write a post about what I have been doing this last month tonight or tomorrow but I wanted to get this give-away started asap. Bodybuilding.com was amazing and sent me two of these Jamie Eason Combo Stacks (one as a gift for me to try and one for me to share with my readers). Here is the deal. In order to win the Combo Stack all you have to do it “Like” Bodybuilding.com and Jamie Eason on Facebook. Then post your favorite motivational picture or quote on the “Skinny Fatkids“. Super easy! I am going to run this contest for one week so it will close on Monday November 7th at midnight. Because this last month...
Read MoreOh my god, my legs are killing me. Today was Day One of Week Three for Jamie Eason’s 12 Week Trainer and I am definitely going to feel it for a while.

Read MoreToday’s leg routine was curtesy of Fitness Model Vanessa Tib who posted what James Wilson (Jamie Eason’s friend and an admin on her page) sent her. You can find it here with my modifications in ( ), I did the quad one. I was dying during the wide/narrow squat super set. Then I did a short circuit from BodyRockTV: dead man burpees, dive bombers, prisoner get ups. 30 seconds of each with 10 second in between – 3x. Then I did some HIIT on the treadmill, incline of 2.0. I did 20 minutes walking (3.0) and a minute jogging (6.8/7.0) for 12 minutes and then 2.8 at an incline of 15 for 8 minutes. My legs were dying but in a good way. Now I am just waiting...

Read MoreIs my number one idol. Literally. Anytime someone asks me what my goals are fitness/health wise I tell them about her. She has such a healthy physique and her posts on facebook are always respectful, genuine and helpful for her fans. On that note – today she gave me a mention both on Facebook and on Twitter regarding this blog and I’m not gonna lie – I am basically on cloud nine. And will be, probably for a year or so . To know that the person I think is most inspirational had something positive to say about what I am doing is a really great feeling. So now that I bragged a little (I’m sorry I just couldn’t...
