Kayla here! I have meant to post this all week! Finally I made my way here. Besides posting on here, I have started out the challenge strong! I have done my meal planning and prep, drinking a lot of water (and in turn a lot more trips to the bathroom! ) and going to bed early and getting plenty of rest! This challenge for me is just to get healthier and lose weight. It seems like there is always an excuse to not work out and is just so much easier for me to eat something on the go instead of preparing a meal. I am excited to be doing this with a few other ladies and continuing to get inspiration from you all!

Taking these pictures made me feel vulnerable (actually it was probably more like actually looking at the pictures and knowing I was going to posting them) I am ready to see changes!














 I don't have any certain big event but I just want to be able to look back in a few months and see new habits and new friends I've made along the way. I want to look back and see that I have made myself healthier in every aspect of my life and created healthy habits that will lead to years of hard work and success. I am lucky to have friends, family, and a boyfriend  to encourage me in these changes. I am a planner, and a list maker. These things my boyfriend learned pretty fast about me. He asked me this week to help him with some meal planning for his new crockpot I got him for Christmas. This meal planning turned into us meal planning, grocery lists, shopping, and organized his kitchen. (The bachelor life is funny, there were random things in those cabinets ladies!) 
It is fun to experience these things with the people in my life. If any of you have any great healthy recipes send them my way! I am excited to be doing this with you ladies and having the encouragement  and challenge!


Here is to another wonderful week and staying strong and making healthy choices!
