"She Did What?!" Elevated Pulsing lunges

Not only a good workout, but it is a good warm up. You can feel the stretch in your hammies and booty.

Preschooler Convo + Sunday Updates

I will get married then go to prison

That is what I was told yesterday in my childcare class when we sitting around the table talking about going to kindergarten next year. 

Me: so are you excited to go kindergarten next year? 

Preschooler: yes, but I have to get married first 

Me: wait, what?? 

Preschooler: yep! After I get married I'll go to prison

Me: wait, what????

Preschooler: yep. Then I'll go to kindergarten.

Oh how I love the conversations with my kiddos. They come up with the craziest things. It is such a blessing to work with them and hear all their stories and opinions on life. 

The great snow storm has now turned ice storm, and sadly, we're going to have another snow storm next weekend. Sad face.. But yesterday, Zach and I were leaving to go to Starbucks and he beefed on the stairs, I helped him up first, then laughed. He wasn't too happy about my status either, but he's a good sport. 

But karma kicked in today, and I beefed it outside the gym in front of everybody, and it HURT. Zach has been under the weather and I haven't felt so well either, so we've been watching Hulu and relaxing all weekend but hopefully get some stuff done today. 

My list for today is TOO long..

1st EVER "She Did What?!" daily exercise

I am so excited to reveal my first exercise right here on my blog! And it is definitely one of my favorites.


Tonight I am demoing the half ball squats!

The hardest part is actually getting onto the half ball. It takes practice.
Do not let your knees go past the tips of your toes and hold your car. I definitely feel the burn in the glutes and my core! Do not forget to breathe!


I am not a certified trainer.

Snow Day #3

Day 3 of the snow storm, but I finally ventured outside my dorm to see how my poor car was doing. Worse thing about snow plows, they'll just plow snow right into you car without care. 

And with the windshield this morning, it feels like -1! Yay for winter! But that's beside the point, the crazy thing is, my hair has been the exact SAME for the past three days and it's sad. 

And it's still like this! That's what snow days do to you, makes you extremely lazy. I have been laying in bed for the majority of the time catching up with TV shows like The Walking Dead, Vikings, and Pretty Little Liars. 

Zach and I have also decided what we are doing for Lent. We are completely giving up junk food. We have been slacking lately with our workouts and our nutrition, so I will posting more of my replacement snacks. So this means...NO CHIPS, NO CANDY, NO COOKIES, NO CRACKERS! 

Also, tonight I will be posting my first exercise! So stay tune! 

#Snowpacolypse2K15

Well, everyone I know is safe and sound after the first (and hopefully last) snow storm this year! Luckily, the weather stations knew it was coming and gave us a pretty big warning about what was to come. One of the biggest warnings of how bad the storm was going to be was that The Weather Channel arrived in Louisville.. Oh dear. When we heard that, we knew it was going to be bad. 

Zachary and I went grocery shopping the night before, and we weren't the only ones with that great idea, everywhere was completely packed! Got the famous milk and bread! Plus popcorn! 

Every school in a 70 miles radius was called off, including businesses. The awesome thing about working at a preschool is that we don't go in if the school has a snow day. Works out better and SAFER. Zach called in as well because he was feeling under the weather. We got to sleep in, but we were like little kids, jumping out of bed and looking out the window. It was about 7 inches out at that point.

The snow day worked out, Zach caught up on hours of homework while I caught up on Bate's Motel. We discovered a new, HILARIOUS show, Brooklyn Nine Nine with Andy Samberg in it on FOX. Thank goodness we grabbed popcorn the night before. 

Snow days are my absolute favorite, it's definitely cuddle weather! But I am ready for spring and for the pool! 

My Katy Hearn Challenge Experience

Lately on Instagram, I have been seeing tons of great progress and motivation from Katy Hearn's latest challenge. For those of you not familiar with Katy (Instagram account: katyhearnfit), she is a RavishSands (bikinis) model and also sponsored by New Vision Nutrition (healthy meals that are delivered to your door). I started to follow her on Instagram about a year ago, inspired by her hard work in fitness and nutrition. I had been lifting weights for about six months with my boyfriend when I decided to take her seasonal challenge. It was hashtagged as khfallchallenge.

It was an amazing experience! I received my package via email filled with all her workouts and meal plans which were absolutely amazing. I met amazing girls through my support group, these girls were so inspiring. Single, full time moms, college girls, all of them so motivating! Katy Hearn, herself, was motivational with her posts, her emails, I have no idea how she had time to email me back with answers to my questions, but she did! The challenge was so worth it in the end. I found myself reaching my goals and seeing changes in my body. I highly recommend Katy Hearn's challenges. She's an amazing woman! 

I am still on the right track with my fitness journey, and a great deal of that reasoning is the challenge! 

How I stayed motivated:

-posted before pics next to my mirror

-started an inspiration wall (will share next post)

-motivation timed texts (Text Later on Android) for the mornings and before I go to the gym

-gym partner (my lovely boyfriend) 

-posted my before pics on Instagram (I feel like if it's out there, it's harder for me to give up!)

-and I joined a KHfitGirls group (how I met so many people)

I would love to hear other girls stories if they have taken her challenge and share your experience. I love the #KHFitGirls community! 😍

Reviewing the illumask!

I saw the ad on TV and I joked around with my boyfriend I wanted it. A few weeks later, I was browsing Target like every other week, I'm sure my fellow Target lovers understand! Anyways, I came across the product and without giving it much thought, I picked it up. 

Everytime I shop for face wash, I always have this memory in the back of my head that still haunts me today: I was in 6th grade, not yet discovering makeup, but with the recent flare ups, my momma got me face wash to help clear it up. At soccer practice, one of my teammates (in front of everyone..) told me to wash my face because I had too many pimples. 2 things I realized that day: 1. Girls are mean, and I can't believe I didn't cry. And 2. From that day forward, I would become overly worried about my skin.

I have always struggled with acne, not really finding a good product that worked, not even prescriptions, which only worked temporarily, after a couple of good months, I was back where I started. So, I was desperate, and I seriously have tried EVERYTHING. And NOTHING worked. 

So I picked the illumask up and I tried it when I got home. Basically you put the mask on, hold down the button until it turns on and it will stay on for about 15 minutes. Only 15 minutes a day! 

And after 2 and a half weeks of using it, here are my results:
