Secrets to Getting Healthy

I think we've all heard people say "I'm living the healthy life now," have we not?
But then three days into it they are back to their old habits of drinking soda and having way too many desserts after dinner, I know temptation is real so that's why I have come up with a list to help you melt away the pounds. 
(Please note that these items do not work for everyone, you have to find what's best for you. Also, please remember losing weight does not happen over night)
Here are my five suggestions:
1. Throw any and all junk food away. Yes I know your body is going to be craving it but trust me it will be thanking you later.
2. Set small goals. Don't say "I want to lose 50 pounds by May." because you will overwhelm yourself. What you should say is "I want to lose 5 pounds in one month." That goal is way more manageable and you will accomplish a lot more "mini" goals and gain a ton of more confidence in yourself...trust me on this one!
3. Order grilled! Yes, I said it...don't order plain, fried chicken fingers...have the restaurant grill those babies and pick other vegetables for your sides besides potatoes!
4. Work out! Take walks, do squats while Grey's Anatomy or Desperate Housewives are on a commercial. Park a little bit further away from the doors at Target, then do a couple of laps around Target after you've finished your shopping. Or by all means do a full on work out... but please do it correctly, no thrown backs need to come after!
5. Get enough sleep and water. These two items are key ingredients to living a healthier lifestyle that most people forget. If you don't like the taste of plain water..throw some fresh fruit in with it...you'll thank me later!

If you have any questions or need a motivator don't hesitate to contact me,!

Until Next Time,
XOXO,
Leslie Ann

Spring Break 2016

This year I was FINALLY able to go on a spring break trip with my family, which was much needed. You see usually my school schedule and work schedule never coincide with when my family is taking their annual trip to the lovely KW but this year it did! I was so excited to be able to go this trip! This year (and every other year) we traveled to Key West, Florida and OMG it was amazing! Even though it was a long(er) trip it was well worth it! There is so much to do there, even if the place itself is only 3 miles wide. My favorite thing to do is the Conch Train ride, its a little train/trolley ride that takes you around KW and tells you historical facts about the place, (maybe I love it a little too much because I am a history guru). But in all seriousness it is nice to actually get away from the demands of life and enjoy time with family and it doesn't hurt that it was in such a beautiful place surrounded by the ocean. On our way to Key West and on our way back home, we stopped at...

Top [Ten] favorite quotes!

Today I am going to talk about my top 10 favorite quotes and why I love them. I think that inspirational quotes are my favorite type of quotes just because as I have gotten older I've learned to rely on them and they help me get through some of the dark times in my life. 1. "Those who move forward with a happy spirit will find that things work out"  -Gordon B. Hinckley I love this quote because I honestly believe in it. I grew up listening to this man talk in conferences and I absolutely love reading his talks. It's so amazing that when I read or listen to his talks how much I feel as though he is talking specifically to me. 2. "You have not failed until you quit trying" -Gordon B. Hinckley See, I told you I love this man. I absolutely love this quote because it is true, I believe that if you keep on trying at something you have won in some regards. 3.  "If you are a little better than you were yesterday, then that is enough" -David A....
