Read Morefirst day of competition prep!
Alright! Today is the first day of my competition prep and I am super excited. I was going to start yesterday but I got a 24 hour bug so I waited until today. Real quick though we did have a MAJOR cheat this weekend to celebrate the end of the LiveFit and the beginning of this We went to one of our favorite restaurants that we don’t eat at that often - because our favorite thing there is the most amazing fried chicken with honey and bisquits. Like. To die for. Not greasy fried but just perfectly crispy enough that you know it cannot be good for you However, the Fatkid could not decide on an app so we got two: homemade chips and french dip and homemade...
Read MoreProduct Review: BodyMedia FIT Core Armband (LiveFit 54)
This is going to be kind of a long post because there are a few topics I want to touch on. I was lucky enough to be sent a BodyMedia Core Armband to do a product review on it. I have to say – after only having it for a few days – I am obsessed. It comes with an armband and an easy to follow instruction booklet which allowed me to set it up in less than 10 minutes. It tracks your calories burned, steps taken and sleep activity without you doing anything except wearing it. Here is a little info from the website: BodyMedia.com Calorie tracking: BodyMedia FIT automatically tracks calorie burn so you don’t have to. Using its patented on-body monitoring...
Read MoreDay 47 LiveFit
So yesterday ended up being a much better day. I don’t know if it was my rant and getting it off my chest or that I re-prioritized some things, but I had a very productive day at the library all day and then Day 47 leg workout. I have had a few people ask me how I track my workouts and I just write them in the log book from my gym. My handwriting is terrible though so I normally type it out for you guys. Here is what is looks like: I mark stars when I go up in weight and smily faces when I like something – I know I’m a dork. So yesterday I reached my goal for Phase 2 and squatted 120 (+45lb bar) which is more than 1.5 times my weight. I was so happy I...
Read Moregood morning :)
Good morning everyone!! I got some great news last night so today is definitely a great one. Lets start with goals: I am thankful…that taking better care of myself reflected in my school progress second semester. (I realize this might sound a little selfish but hear me out). That I was taught healthy eating at a young age so that I wasn’t trying to start from scratch when I really decided to commit to it. For my legs – they allow me to do so much and I feel that often people without physical challenges take their ability to move/walk/dance/run for granted. Just remember that next time you don’t want to go running/do yoga/weight lift/swim/walk...

Goals: Today I am/was thankful for beautiful (if hot) weather. I am thankful that I loooove to read, I think it can’t be taught but if it could – thanks mama!! Curling up with a good book is one of my favorite things. I just go three new ones I’m really excited about. For my little “bugs” – the dogs they make me smile numerous times a day. What a sweet and simple life they have. I did get up, slightly late so I only did a 5 minute interval workout from BodyRockTV.com I got 18 done in 5 minutes and was definitely sweating. Then I did my shoulder/tricep workout on my fitness page so I am a liiiiite sore tonight. So for what I made...
