I call these, “Pistol Squats”
Find your balance on one leg and slowly squat down. This move is actually pretty tough. I can only do 5 reps at a time. If you can’t do this, just stick to regular squats with both feet on the ground.
This move will strengthen your balance, core, quads, glutes, and hamstrings.
My right leg is definitely weaker haha.

I want to get another tattoo. I’d like to get a shamrock (for my Irish side), with some symbol to represent my German side. All I can come up with is a mother fucking swastika. So I’m thinking a shamrock with black, red & gold to fill it in?
Any ideas?

March 5th: Trying to Get Back on the Ball (and stay on it)
So, I’ve lost 3 pounds since I last weighed myself (about a week & a half ago). It may or may not be due to:
- Stress from midterms week
- Green tea I’ve started drinking as opposed to coffee
- Just not having time to eat (I know not healthy but I have a really busy schedule)
- Not eating before I went to the gym, instead made an orange julius!
- Being sick the last couple of weeks
Leg work out today!
- Bike (on calorie burning mode)
- Kettle ball squats
- 100 crunches on exercise day (to change it up a little)
- 100 Russian Twists
- Weighted bar squats
- 1 mile on treadmill (15 minutes)
I feel great right now, I just hope I can stay on the ball and hopefully lose 12 more pounds!
The Rules
Eat Clean! Choose whole/one ingredient foods or go for labels that say organic, natural, low-fat, low-sodium, etc. Check the ingredients list. If it’s practically a book or has tons of science jargon, don’t buy it. Stay away from added sugar, high sodium, and oil. No junk!
Listen to your body. Eat when you are hungry, stop when you are full. If you would like to count calories, stay between 1500 and 2200 depending on your workout.
Hydrate. Drink 5 cups of water per day. Stay away from fruit juice. Tea rules though.
Break up your meal plan:
Grains- Two servings are allowed per day. It is recommended to have one serving for breakfast and the other before a workout. Can only be whole wheat, whole grain, or multi-grain.
Fruits and Veggies- Eat as much as you like! Aim for your diet to consist of at least 50% fruits and vegetables, leaning heavy on veggies (especially leafy greens).
Protein- Lean meat only! As in poultry and fish. Other sources of protein include eggs, beans, greek yogurt, and nuts. Recommended 1-2 servings of meat per day, but feel free to eat other sources of protein whenever. After a heavy workout, make yourself a shake or have a protein bar.
Dairy- At the most 1 serving per day. Feel free to switch from cow milk to soy or almond milk!Keep your metabolism going. Eat every 3-4 hours!
Work out! Go for five days a week. Three days for cardio, two for strength training. This part is really customizable. Just challenge yourself and get your heart rate up!
This is what I will be doing for the next month! I’m ready for real change! I thought I’d share it with you guys in case anyone wants to join. :) Also, I’m not a nutritionist or anything, so if some of those rules seem unhealthy, let me know!

Tiny Miss K: The Britney Spears Workout
Okay-so about a year ago I was snooping around online looking for a Britney Spears-ish workout. Apparently this is her exact workout routine she followed when she was in her “prime” (I’m guessing the early 2000’s). I love it…but it takes me forever because I’m so out of shape, but after you…

Believe in yourself, visualize success, and remember why you want to reach your goals. Positive thinking is a powerful thing!”
