10 things about ME!

Hi friends! So I know you follow me for my journey about health & fitness but I wanted you to get to know me a little better.

1.       I have been married for almost 3 years.  My husband and I started dating June 17, 2007. We met through a mutual friend while we were out for my friend’s 21^st birthday. We were engaged shortly after on September 12^th 2009 and married June 18^th, 2011. I truly believe in spending my anniversary with my love so I refuse for either of us to work on that day. We will be spending this year in Vegas with our Beachbody family.

  
 
2.       Love/hate relationship with running. I hate the feeling of my body while I am running, BUT I love how I feel afterwards! When I need a hard workout, I usually put a few miles on the Nikes. I dislike it so much I signed up to do my second In October 2014.

       3.       I am a sucker for reality shows. You can find my DVR filled with episodes of Teen Mom, Real Housewives, The Bachelor & The Bachelorette.

 

       4  .       The ONE question I get asked all the time: How do you eat so much yet you’re so skinny?  Truth is, I have a super-fast metabolism. I am very active and have been since I was younger. The thing is I may be skiing but the main reason why I started with a trainer 18 months ago was because I had ZERO muscle.  In other words, skinny fat.

 

 

      5.       My hair is naturally blonde. I have never colored it or put any sort of dying product in my hair. My mom would not even let me put lemon juice in my hair when I was back in high school. (Remember that trend?)

 

 

6.       I am a FUR MAMA. We adopted Stella in December 2011 and could not be happier with her. She is my princess. I was super nervous of getting a dog and all the responsibilities that came with it, but wouldn’t trade her for ANYTHING. I have never seen a dog who shows so much love and has the best personality!

7.      I am an aunt to 3 nephews & a niece. My babies mean the world to me and LOVE being an aunt.  Snug on them all day and night and send them home to their parents.

8.       I never knew how to cook until I was married! When we first got married we seriously had grilled cheese and cereal for a good year. My husband…gosh I felt horrible for him. He comes from a family where his mom would cook amazing meals every single night. And then we get married and we have miss matched meals. I didn’t really learn how to cook until the Summer of 2013 when I joined Beachbody.

 

9.       I am SUPER organized. I love a tidy house. I have to have things organized so I can keep my house running smoothly.

 

10.   My journey. I was never a fan of working out at home. My best friend has always been so motivated & determined with them. I was with a personal trainer for 6 months up until June 2013. I was searching on Pinterest for meal plans and found my coach. I joined her accountability group and 2 weeks in I knew I wanted to help others and signed up as a coach. I love helping challengers and my heart is so happy when I see results or hear stories how I have changed their lives. Nothing can beat that!

BONUS: I LOVE music! I belt out the ballads on the shower, we go to many concerts a year, sing in the car. Wherever I can sing and listen to music, I will do it.

Week 7: P90X3 progress update

Snacks for the week

Okay, I will admit. I was horrible this week. Didn’t perform my workouts as hard as I wanted and my eating was good about 50% of the week. That is okay. I am human. I will make mistakes. I have learned that if I eat unhealthy, my body definitely lets me know.

Here was my run for the week:



Monday: Triometrics

Wednesday: Yoga

Thursday: MMX

Friday: Incinerator

Saturday: CVX

Sunday: Rest Or Dynamix

Cookies my nephews mailed to me for Valentine's day

Needless to say, I only did half my weeks workout. My husband was gone the first part of the week and I was doing AMAZING until Wednesday night came when I was in the middle of my workout and I burned my hand when I was trying to multi-task with cooking dinner. My double day workout turned into a 10 minute workout and a burnt left hand.

Thursday night, I went to the Lady Antebellum concert with my friends. Indulged in some popcorn I have been CRAVING and also a few beers.

Friday, Ahhh the day of LOVE. The sweets got the best of me. We went out to dinner; steak, asparagus, and mashed potatoes and topped the night off with a cookie my nephews gave me and chocolate covered strawberries.  Spent the evening with my hubby and it was amazing. I truly believe that you shouldn’t spent one day loving people, you should spend every day, but it’s fun to indulge on a HOLIDAY.

I have also decided I think I am going to do another ½ marathon this October. Rock N Roll Half Marathon!!! My sister and I did our very first one in April of 2013 and it was a great memory, so were going to do another one together this year.

         

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

So this is the end of BLOCK 2. I can’t believe that I only have a few weeks left of P90X3.   Week 8 is our transition week and then onto BLOCK 3. I can’t wait to see what next week brings. I am bringing 100% toi the table.

 

 

 

Chat with ya next week friends.
