Oh, and y’all know I have a thing for mesh, and this Free People top immediately caught my eye when I saw it! I loved it so much that I’ve already worn it to the gym once, washed it, then re-wore it again the next day!

  1. That teal looks *amazing* on you, Grace! I’ve tried a few styles from Beyond Yoga and so far have had horrible luck, but I still need to try a pair of the heathered leggings. I hear they’re the best thing from their lineup! Also, ugh, I love the Indy bras more every time I see them.

    I’m on day two of Week3 and my arms and glutes are looking phenom! This 3-week slim down is great!! Also, I’ve made the pad thai, the chicken broccoli casserole and the honey mustard chicken salad and ALL of them are super super delicious. The pad thai is quite spicy even with half the amount of sriracha but none the less delish, my boyfriend actually went back for seconds on the pad thai and casserole and has requested all three meals again. YOU ARE AWESOME thank you a ton for these workout and meal plans!!! 🙂

    • Hi Alyson! I’m thrilled to hear that! Way to kill the 3 week slim down! Proud of ya. SO glad y’all love the meals too! Tasty & delicious 🙂

  5. Christina says:

    Can you explain the supersets with the sprinting. Is that after you complete one exercise of 3-4 sets or is that after each set of every exercise?

10/27/18 Mr. & Mrs. White

There’s not a day that goes by when I don’t feel so blessed to be Jordan’s wife. He is my everything. These photos and video are the sweetest reminder of our love for one another. So, grab a cup of coffee, pull up a seat, and try not to bawl your eyes out (because I know we did). Every time we look through our photos and watch our video, we cry the happiest tears.

The Proposal

It’s crazy what can happen in a year. I met the love of my life and the rest is history. I was having a hard time ending this post, because frankly, I think I could talk about that evening forever. Then I realized that this post doesn’t have an ending, but instead, a beginning. Thank you so much for all of the love, excitement, and gratitude.

Dark Chocolate Chip Pumpkin Bread

One of my favorite things to do in the fall is bake my dark chocolate chip pumpkin bread! I’ve made it *so* many times for me, J, and friends & family. It’s moist, decadent, and super easy to make! It also makes for a great DIY housewarming gift.
