80 Day Obsession: Last Round Of The Year!


It's that time of year! We are coming up on the final 3 months of the year and I am ending this year stronger than I started. But I'm doing it with the same program that truly has changed my life. It's time for my 3rd and final round of the year with 80 Day Obsession! So, if you have been thinking about this program, anything you have seen in the last 9 months that has made you think, "Wow! I wonder if I could ever do that?" YES GIRL! YOU CAN! I know it sounds so cheesy but if I can do this. YOU CAN TOO!

Here's where I have struggled the most with this program. The nutrition! Not that the nutrition is hard to follow, confusing or just impossible. BECAUSE IT'S NOT! It is so easy to follow because it tells you exactly what to eat, when to eat and exactly how much to eat. Takes the guess work out of the whole what do I eat to lose weight. My problem is, I fight against the process and try to figure out a work around and still have my key lime pie and results. But it doesn't happen. And honestly, last week I did a 3 day cleanse and realized how inflamed I have been from some of my choices. You guys, I finally realize now that my body just doesn't process dairy, gluten or sugars well. It's time to make that change. And that's what helps me feel my best. Staying consistent with the better choices and following my plan without giving in to other things. I finally want to feel better from the inside and out.

So...if you are ready to make changes in your life.

-- Develop DAILY EXERCISE as your go to and stress reliever during the hardest time of the year.
-- Help your body feel amazing on the inside by feeding your body the foods it needs or wants.
-- Being surrounded by an amazing support community doing the same program as you

Building Lean Muscle and Plus Size


Never have I ever had visible back muscles before! This just goes to show that you can make serious change on your body when you put in the work. And you don’t have to be a certain size or weight to see the results. I’m 245 pounds. I’ve been working hard to build muscle this past month specifically with this new program I’m following more than to lose weight because as I’m gaining muscle I’m losing fat and developing and building the body I want for my “goal body”. I want a strong, lean, toned and defined athletic body. Because that is my build and body type. What’s going to be amazing to watch is more of my muscle becoming visible as my body releases more fat and weight. The scale isn’t everything guys. Work towards progress you are proud of and over time the scale will reflect that too. Here are my TOP 5 TIPS to build lean muscle and burn more fat! 


1) Lift Heavy Weights. You have to work up to it of course but don't be afraid to increase your weight each week. I was up to 20-25 pound weights for most leg, back and chest exercises. 15 pounds for bicep exercise and 10 pounds for shoulders and triceps. Smaller muscles means smaller weights.

2) Go back to the basics and do traditional single move exercises. Chest press. shoulder flys, Rows. When you do compound moves like a squat to Shoulder press you might not be able to lift heavier weights because you are working more than one muscle group at the same time. But when you are focusing on a single muscle like doing a chest press, you can lift heavier. See videos below: 

Single move sets:
Compound moves:

3) Be consistent! Be sure to follow your program and exercise the days it tells you to. LIIFT4  (available in OCT!) is a 4 day a week program with 30-40 minute workouts only. It's great to go back to the basics and focus on form and heavy lifting. 

4) Listen to your body. If you lose form or feel something that doesn't feel right, then lower your weights or take a break. My legs can handle me adding and extra 30 pounds to do the exercises, but my forearms can not. So, I lower the amount of weights so I don't make my forearms angry! 

5) Do it because it feels good! In the end, by increasing your strength it helps you build lean muscle and the more muscle you have on your body the more you are able to burn body fat. Often times the scale might not move or it can even go up a little as you gain lean muscle, but fat will start to reduce from your body. Don't be discouraged by the scale if it doesn't move when you are lifting heavier. Muscle takes up less space than fat but 1 pound is still 1 pound. As you are consistent with your eating right and exercising the fat and weight will come off, but it won't happen over night. Trust the process!

Mormon Health And Fitness Attire - You Choose What's Best For you To wear

I've recently been called out about being a Mormon (member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints) and NOT exercising in the "appropriate" clothing that a Mormon is meant to wear. Mormons have a strict dress code of being modest, with covering our shoulders and making sure our shorts always go to the knees or longer. And followers knew I was mormon because of the pictures hanging in my foyer behind me. While the picture itself is not "mormon" it is typically displayed in Mormon households.


First of all, for someone to make comments and tell me that I'm being a "bad mormon" because I wasn't following the strict dress code really did affect me. I felt massive amounts of guilt, to the point I started to cut off the picture so it wasn't so obvious that I was a member and was not following the rules. I don't have to and shouldn't have to explain myself. But if I'm being called out, I'm sure other women are too, or other women are feeling guilty for wanting to change their clothing to exercise in and want to know why one person does something and feels okay with it while others won't. So...if you're a mormon and you want to know, keep reading.


For years, I wore cotton t-shirts, and biker shorts to the gym. I did hours at the gym sweating my brains out. My shirt would be drenched, if I let myself get that sweaty, but often I would hold back in my workouts because I didn't want to look like I was dying. At one point I decided to change it up and I wore a Tank Top to the gym. The amount of comfort I had at the gym compared to the day before was night and day. But, I felt like I was naked. I felt like I was going to get struck down by lightening because I was breaking my promise to dress modestly. I also was fearful of someone I knew from my ward seeing me. But I decided for my own health and safety while exercising, I feel the most comfortable and less overheated when my body can breathe better in a tank top. 

(at our Diamond Retreat and I was the only one in modest clothing sweating my brains out so I could uphold my worthiness standards.)

I've come a long way since that day, and now I workout in whatever I feel most comfortable in, including just wearing a sports bra and shorter shorts. 


But really, it's not anyone's place to put down another person for what they are wearing. It's never okay. Women should be cheering on other women and supporting each other. 

In the end, I do follow the standards of a Mormon when not exercising. To other Mormons reading this, wear what you need to be the most comfortable. Goal is for health and safety, and if that means, being able to last a little longer or do a little more because you feel like you won't pass out from heat exhaustion in an oversized cotton shirt. Then wear the dang tank top.
