Tonight I feel great! But, my legs feel like jello.
Tonight's workout consisted of:
- lunges
- bear crawls
- crab walks
- mountain climbers
- planks
- bike cycles ( resistance 15, 20 second intervals)
- Leg stretches
Tomorrow will be my first weigh in which I am both excited for and nervous for. Wish me luck!

Day 3
Today was the third day of the program and the first day of the diet. Things are going great. Yes I am sore, but I am starting to feel more energized. Counting calories isn't too fun, but it is amazing to see how many calories are in some of the foods I like.
Today's Workout:
- Row 500 meters
- Rotation between:
Leg Press
Arm Pull
& Push ups
- Stretches

Day 2
January 21st, 2014
Today I had the opportunity to meet with my Wellness Coach, Tate. We did a physical assessment to see which things I was doing good at and which things that I needed to work out.
Our physical assessment consisted of:
- Hip & waist measurements
- Blood pressure
- Walking on treadmill while being hooked up to a heart monitor
- Jogging on the treadmill
- Bench Pressing. ( I was able to do 75 lbs. I definitely need to work on that, I didn't realize how hard it is)
- Curls ( I did 79 in one minute, at a rating of excellence. I was beyond excited, as was my coach).
Next came my workout with my team. We worked out for 1.5 hours. Today we worked on Cardio exercises.
- Row 2000 meters
- treadmill for 20 mins
- Hip & knee exercises with my trainer, Joseph, to correct any future problems
- Stretches
Every Tuesday night we will be meeting with our whole team to go over Wellness stuff. Tonight we talked about caloric intake. Tomorrow I will start my diet of 1400 calories. I am super stoked but I also know how not fun it will be to have to count the calories in everything that I eat. We also watched the video that is in my previous post, and I would recommend that everyone watch it. It is extremely inspirational and goes to show that if we put our mind to it and give it our all, that we can succeed!
Yes, I am sore and tired, but I know that it will get better in time.

Biggest Winner Competition
This year I have decided to work on being healthier and getting into shape. BYU-Idaho has this awesome program called the Biggest Winner. It is pretty much the same thing as the Biggest Loser, but not as intense and the trainers do not yell in our faces. Yesterday was my first workout of this program. Even though it was difficult and tiring, I am ready for my workout again today. My team consists of a personal trainer, a wellness coach, an assistant, and 9 contestants. I am extremely excited for this opportunity and for the chance to change my life for the better. My short term goal for this semester is to lose 20 pounds and my long term goal is to lose 50 pounds. I can't wait to see a difference not only in my appearance, but also in my attitude. I plan on posting on here everyday what I have done at my workout, to hopefully inspire others the same way that I have been inspired to get off the coach, and treat my body better! I will also be using my blog as part of my journal so that I can remember this experience forever.
January 20th, 2014 Workout:
- Row 1000 meters on the rowing machine
- 0.5 miles on the treadmill, at an incline of 3, speed of 3.5
- Crunches while sitting on a large exercise ball, while holding a 15 pound weight
- 15 burpees at a time
- Super man, ten times and holding for 5 seconds.
- Continuous rotation, switching between crunches, burpees, and superman for 15 minutes
- Squats: Arms at a 90 degree angle, and arms straight above head
- Hip stretches
- Shoulder Stretches.

Happy Sunday
Happy Sunday!!
Church was great today. Amazing speakers in church. They spoke on Faith, Repentance, and Prayer. Then we had a pretty good sunday school lesson, and the teacher shared this video: http://youtu.be/27A4Fj4YBeM . You are Never alone was the message! If you have time, you should definately read it. We then had a lesson on journal writing in Relief Society. Some of the ideas were to keep a study journal, a picture scrapbook, a blog, or a book. I think this blog will work for me right now.
We also had the chance to be assigned visiting teaching companions and found out who we would be teaching! Lucky for me, I already knew my companions and one of the girls that we teach. We also got to meet our home teachers at a luncheon after church. They seem like really fun guys!
Today is my roommate, Lindey's birthday!! We celebrated with funfetti cupcakes and tonight we are going to have enchaladas and cake at her family friends house! yumm!!
I have two big tests to take by Tuesday and I keep pushing it out of my mind, so I better get back to that. Wish me luck!
Until next time!! :)

Update
Hello world!
I'm finally back and writing a post. It is about time. I plan on making my blog cute and add pictures and stuff, but it might be a while before I figure out how to do that :).
A little update on my life:
- I'm currently taking 15 credits. After an easy first semester, I was hoping on just relaxing this semester, well I was wrong. These classes are very time consuming.
- This semester (socially) is way better! My roommates are so easy to talk to and I love not having contention in our apartment.
- My new bishop is hilarious. & so far I love my ward.
- Awesome FHE group. It helps being with a few people you already knew before.
- Got a calling. I am a committee member for relief society.
- I have done something pretty much every weekend this semester!
- Last night, I attended a Celtic Knights concert, it was amazing! Normally I hate those kind of things but they were incredible.
- After the concert I played basketball with a friend and ended the night, sitting around and laughing with my roommates. Didn't go to bed until wayyyyy late!
- Today, I went with Haley to her cousins house, played with her adorable baby, got a facial, and played a few games.
- Came home, and had a girl's night out, went to Sammy's and sang Happy Birthday to my roommate Lindey as we were walking home. Fun stuff!!
- Finished a little bit of homework, listened to amazing songs by Tyler Ward.
- Enjoyed sour punch straws my family sent in a package for Valentines Day for me. ( Yes, I couldn't wait to open it.) It also consisted of cute Valentine's day socks, candy, the movie 27 dresses, and valentine's for my roommates! I have the BEST family in the ENTIRE world!!
So I just made a goal, I will write in my blog everyday for this whole week, and hopefully it will become a habit & can count as my journal writing :)
Until next time!!! :)
