I officially ended my 28 day FeFit online fitness challenge. The workouts were hard-intermediate level-but I was able to do most of the exercises so it was very motivating and exciting to see my progress. Every 10 days I took a Fit Test, and I progressed in every exercise!

On Day 1, I was able to do in ONE minute each:
31 pushups on my knees, 17 sit ups, 63 jumping jacks, 47 squats.

On Day 28, I was able to do in ONE minute each:
45 pushups on my knees, 27 sit ups, 83 jumping jacks, 64 squats.

I did not lose any weight in the 28 days, but I did lose INCHES!
I lost 2 full inches off my waist, 0.5 inches off my hips, 0.5 inches off each arm, 1.0 inch off each thigh, 1.0 inch off each calf.

I really enjoyed this challenge and the online Facebook group of women were amazing and so motivating!!

I have been taking 1 capsule per day with food as directed, for about 2 weeks now but I haven’t noticed any changes yet. The capsules are easy to swallow and don’t have a weird taste or an after taste. I wish I knew if they were helping me yet.

Youphoria Yoga Towel Mat review


I received this item from the company complimentary for blog and social media review. All opinions are my own.

This was my first time using a towel yoga mat. I got the largest size and was surprised how long it actually was! I love all the color choices you can pick from.

I washed the towel and hung it up to dry and it still looked perfect and didn’t shrink. I didn’t get very sweaty doing Yoga on this mat, so I dampened it a little with water like they suggested, and I didn’t slip around on it. My husband liked it as well. It’s a perfect addition to our home gym!

“The Husband Maker” by Karey White book review

The Husband Maker is book 1 in the “The Husband Maker” series of books by Karey White. I really enjoyed reading this book but thought it would have a better ending. Even though it’s a book in a series, I was actually mad how it just ended abruptly, so of course I will have to read book 2 and 3 to see how Charlotte’s love life ends up.

The story line was good and I loved the characters Charlotte and her friends, as well as hearing about all the old boyfriends. I really liked her boyfriend Kyle and his family.

Don’t read this unless you have the time to read all 3 Husband Maker books together because you will be hooked on Charlotte’s life and wondering what’s going to happen next. This book was a clean, romantic fiction book.

I received a complimentary copy of this ebook for social media and blog review. All opinions are my own.

Amazon Book Description:
Charlotte’s a girl with nicknames. She may not love being called Charles or Chuck, but the hardest nickname to take is the one she was given in college, the one that’s followed her now for too many years. They call her “the husband maker” and sadly, it fits. Every guy she’s dated since high school has gone on to marry the next girl they date. Not two or three girls down the road. The very next one.
Is she doing something wrong or is she just cursed?
When Kyle Aldsworth enters the picture and sweeps her off her feet, Charlotte begins to hope that maybe she’s not destined to be single forever. A senator’s son with political aspirations of his own, Kyle’s wealthy, handsome, and in need of a wife. Will Charlotte be disappointed yet again, or will she finally be able to make a husband for herself?

“Wishing on baby dust” by Lydia Winters

This book is about 3 Christian LDS women who struggle with Infertility. This story was an emotional book-some happy and some sad parts which made it very real. I personally have had 3 miscarriages after having my 2 boys, so I could relate to some of the emotion and sadness that these ladies expressed during this book.

They were able to find friendship and hope within their individual circumstances, even though some of the women didn’t find their “happily ever after” before the book. I enjoyed reading this book and it made me grateful for my kids and friendships with others.

I received a complimentary copy of this ebook for blog and social media review. All opinions are my own.

Amazon Book Description:
Infertility stinks. No one knows that better than Megan. After six years of insanity-inducing hormone drugs and desperate prayers, all she has to show for her efforts are enough negative pregnancy tests to fill a bassinet. All around her women are accidentally getting pregnant—like her star piano student—while Megan remains hopelessly barren. Megan’s never felt so alone. But she’s not the only one struggling. Christina has just entered the world of infertility, made worse by the fact her husband isn’t ready to be a father. Their marriage, already hanging in the balance, is being torn apart. Then there’s Kyra, the mother of a precocious three-year-old. She’s shocked to be struggling with secondary infertility. A baby is priceless, but sometimes Kyra feels like she’s being forced to choose which commandment to keep: stay out of debt, or multiply and replenish the earth. When Megan and Christina are assigned as Kyra’s visiting teachers, they all realize that what you see isn’t necessarily what’s beneath the surface. Some secrets aren’t worth the cost of keeping them.
