#DeathByKayla

Right after I found out I was pregnant I was introduced to @kayla_itsines on Instagram... which was good and bad.

Good because for the next 7 months I saw motivational before and after pictures of girls using her 12 week workout guide and it really inspired me to get healthy.

Bad because I got pregnant when I was the biggest I had ever been in my life, I was only going to get bigger, and I was going to have to wait MONTHS until I could finally start doing something about it.

So I patiently waited to not be pregnant anymore and just before Luke was born I bought Kayla's e-guide. (You can buy it here.) And then after Luke was born, I waited again to get cleared for exercise. 8 weeks later and I'm finally starting the workout guide!!

I am so excited. I'm currently debating whether or not to post my before pics in this post, but I think I'll wait until I finish the 16 weeks of workouts (I'm doing the pre-workouts, too) and then I'll post my before and afters. Or maybe I'll post some progress shots along the way?? I still haven't decided.

Anyway, I did the first workout today and my legs are DYING!!! It's true what they say... it's #DeathByKayla

But I'm excited about it.

Lauren

This is me!! (What do I say??) I love journaling and I keep trying to give blogging a shot, haha. I love reading and learning about basically any subject, especially anything spiritually related. I work for a credit union here in Ogden and am loving it so far. (Bank schedule… score!!) I serve on the Utah Kappa Delta Alumnae Chapter Council (whew, that's a mouth full) and I also started my own It Works business this last year. Usually my "free time" is spent building that business, watching my favorite tv shows with my husband, and hanging out with my family! I've set some new goals that I'll share on here and hopefully this blog will document my progress, along with the rest of my life.

Jarvis

Oh Jarv. I love this man of mine more than I can say. One of the first things I loved about Jarvis was just how similar we are. Our sense of humor is the same, our personalities are the same, and a lot of the time we're thinking the same thing. But marriage brings out everything and I'm learning that we are also very different. He's pretty country… he loves horses, cows and farms and spends his days teaching high school kids all about them. He's also the FFA Advisor. He is one of those blessed individuals that absolutely loves what he does for work. (Lucky!!) When he's not working, he's either working on his online classes, helping out as the Chairman of the ATO (fraternity) board, or hanging out at home with the fam.

Luke

Luke is still our favorite. He is growing so fast and learning so much, it's hard to keep up. He's such an even mix of Mom & Dad, sometimes serious, sometimes hilarious!! A people watcher, an extrovert, and of course the funniest person in the room. ;) He's smart, very polite, and is talking all the time. We now have to watch what we say because he copies our words all the time. The answer to any question he's asked is "yeah" or "umm" and he LOVES "nanas" (bananas.) We absolutely love this little kiddo and hope he continues growing into the handsome, polite, happy kid he is.
