Love me a little Office! Remember to keep the really important things in perspective!!! Good night FitFam! #fitfam #selflove #tomorrowisanewday

Back to the elliptical! I actually really like using this thing! Just plug my earphones in and tune everything else out! #imbackbaby #killinit #vasa #vasafitness #ineedtomakeabetterplaylist

Ugh. Trainer Lady killed me this morning with a MAJOR leg work out. Like leg day to the max. Forward lunges, backward lunges, curtsies, squats, goblet squats, Bulgarian squats, full body extensions, burpees. We did it ALLLLLLL. And those stairs in the photo? Those are the stairs at work that I have to go up and down all day. Did I mention the water cooler is upstairs? No? WELL IT IS. Hmmmmm, maybe no one will care if I crawl up and then slide down? #youthinkimjokjng #thestruggleisreal #legday #legdayproblems #gym #vasa #vasafitness #mindbodysoul #physicalfitness #weights #weightloss #hardwork #workhard #workout #doihaveto #fitpics #imnotgonnacry #maybe

Oops. I keep forgetting to take photos when I go to the gym. And somehow the vast majority of my selfies are taken ONLY when I wear this shirt!! #whatacoincidence #selfie #postgym #ohwell #bettertomorrow

I'm baaaaaaaaack! Look at it! Looooook at it! 195 lbs bench press! I had to take a break as life got a little overwhelming and while I was away I realized how much I missed seeing all these body positive messages here on Instagram! Scrolling through my feed first thing in the morning and seeing all you awesome body-positive warriors really makes a difference! Thank you so much for sharing your journeys! Here's to an awesome Wednesday! #physicalfitness #weights #weightloss #weightlossjourney #weightlifting #whatelsedoihashtag #itsbeenawhile #nobs #bodypositive #workhard #hardwork #dowork

Thanks #ThirdChildFilms for letting me be a part of such a cool film! #gemini #lizardpiratequeen #bowbeforeSabik

A little snippet of my recital today. I take voice from the amazingly talented Brooklyn of the Hale Center Theater. She has been so instrumental in drawing me out and trying new things! Singing is one of the things in my life that brings me pure joy!!! #singing #haletheater #shareyourtalents #soprano #kismet #musicaltheater #singasong

Last night of monkey makeup and ratted hair! Tarzan family! I will miss seeing you every night! It was a FABULOUS RUN and I couldn't have dreamed up better people to trash that camp with every night! Goodnight! #tarzan #disney #twoworldsonefamily #musicaltheater #drama #theaterpeopleareamazibf

Opening night flowers from my wonderful roommates! I haven't been posting lately because my life has been consumed by a play I'm in: Disney's Tarzan. My voice teacher mentioned it in passing and I auditioned and I was accepted! I'm in the gorilla ensemble and have had such a blast! My leg muscles are amazing now to day the least! #disney #tarzan #musicaltheater #legdayiseveryday

Huge NSV today!!! I benched 95lbs today!!! My goal was to do 65 before my bday in Sept and I blew right past it! Trainer Lady is the best! She takes my goals and helps me reach 'em and leave 'em behind in the dust! #nsv #physicalfitness #weights #benchpress #fitfam #fitpics #vasagym #vasa #victory #weightloss #icanhardlybelieveit

Me and my running buddy. :) I keep meaning to snap a photo while outside and on the trail! However I have been much too busy running from Zombies! I've been using an app called Zombies, Run! And I have a strong love/hate relationship with it. The story is post-zombie apocalypse and you run and collect supplies, furthering the story all while evading groups of zombies. You can hear them getting louder when they close in on you and the faster you run the longer you survive. I'm good as long as Copper doesn't cut in front of me. That doesn't end well for anyone. #running #utah #ut #bridalveilfalls #zombiesrun #healthychoices #hardwork #physicalfitness #fitfam #fitpics #exercise

'Baby steps are still progress.' This has been my mantra the past several weeks and months as I track my progress. I would love nothing more than to see a 6-10 lb difference each week like I see some others doing. I don't think my type of slow and steady weight-loss is a negative reflection on my drive or goals, I just think I've finally found a process that works for me. I am learning to DO more, not necessarily LOSE more. And I see progress (aka losing weight) as I do more of the activities I love. I've hit a great weight loss goal as of this morning (THANK YOU TRAINER LADY!!!) and it gives me quiet and powerful satisfaction to continue and carry on with what works for me. #weightloss #fitfam #fitpics #victory #physicalfitness #hardwork #healthychoices #workhard #slowandsteady

I know I look like a creature from the swamp. I FEEL like a creature from the swamp. The flu got me. Got me good. #boo #sickness #plauge

I wasn't lying about him and the heater. #spoileddog #lovehim

No, my shirt isn't supposed to be two different shades of purple. It started raining as soon as I pulled into the parking lot in the canyon. I honestly thought about turning around and going home, but knew that the run this morning was something I really wanted to get done. So Copper Dog and I braved 3 miles in the rain. He is such a trooper. He is currently sitting in front of the heater like the spoiled little puppy dog he is. #running #ut #utah #bridalveilfalls #physicalfitness #healthychoices #hardwork #workhard #fitfam #fitpics #nsv
