This is going to be short but I am so excited to announce that as of right now the Air Force is sending us to ITALY!!
We are so excited and can't believe what God has blessed us with!
We put Italy as our number 3 choice and we're really shocked we got anything on our wish list.
Robbie doesn't finish tech school until late July so we probably won't move until August.
I hope you all continue to follow me on my fitness journey in Europe! Whoo hoo!!!
Xoxo,

Best weekend of my life
This weekend was amazing. I am so proud of Robbie and the changes he has made are outstanding. You can tell that he is proud to be part of something bigger than himself.
It was so hard to have to say good bye yesterday. He will be staying in San Antonio for tech school which will last until July. I'm hoping to visit at least once between now and then. I can't wait to know where our first base will be! Until then I'll be busy prepping for my show and going to school.
I worked out at the gym on base, which I loved! I was seriously the only girl in that place so I got a lot of looks from the guys haha but it was awesome I must say! Girls, go lift some weights and show those boys whose boss! The food I got at the commissary was super cheap too. I prepped chicken breast, asparagus, eggs, bought oats, PB and a lot of other essentials and it was $30! Score! I will love that when we live on base. Oh and PB2 is way cheaper at the commissary :) holla!
Unfortunately, I got sick on Friday night. I developed a sore throat. My coach said rest the rest of the time and I couldn't even do cardio. I won't lie, I was bummed. I am so used to having a routine and I've been SO consistent and I'm seeing results but I'm glad I rested up because my throat already feels better and I only missed 2 days of training because I rest Sundays and Mondays. I'm hoping by tomorrow I'll be ready to kill it at the gym! I was so happy that Robbie could tell a difference in how I looked! It made me feel so good. He said it looked like I had been at basic training for 8 weeks. Haha he was the one to fuel my fire. It was so worth it! I stayed on track with my diet and that was great to show discipline while he pigged out on foods he's craved for months. He looked great too! He gained 5 lbs but lost 4 inches in his waste so he was lean. He plans on gaining back the muscle he lost in basic at the gym in tech school.
Here are some pictures from our weekend:
Our first hug. It was such an amazing, emotional moment!
And finally here are some progress pics. I took then Friday morning. 12 weeks of consistency pays off! About 13 more weeks to go!

Week 12 and TEXAS!
AH! I am sitting in the air port waiting to take off for Texas! I cannot wait to see my husband I could just burst I'm so proud of him! I will post pics of us all weekend long on Instagram probably, so if that's your thing follow me: determined2bfit
Ok so now on to how I'll stay on top of my prep while I'm there. I packed in my suitcase a few essentials. Besides workout clothes and shoes, I packed packs of tuna, quest bars, individual baggies of protein powder, a shaker, plastic forks, stevia and some other spices. I at least have snacks figured out at this point. When I get to the base I will shop at the store for eggs, chicken and veggies and plastic baggies to bring w me and of course water. While eating out (because Robbie wants to eat EVERYTHING) I will order protein without butter or oil and veggies the same way. My main goal is to soak up every minute with Robbie before we're separated for another 2.5 months.
It's week 12 and my body has changed so much. I'm seeing muscle and feeling tighter everyday. I still have a lot of work to do. I'm about 13 weeks out as of right now and my legs have to come down a lot so I'm trying not to stress and take it one day at a time (I am a major stressor...I'm working on it!) and trust my body during this process.

Week 11!
Wow! I can't believe I'm about to start week 11 of my comp prep! The time feels like it's flying by which is exciting and scary. My body is changing so that's great but fast enough, I don't know. My coach says I'm doing great so that's all I care about.
My workouts have been tough but I love it. I'm making gains every week. My cardio is a bit more intense but it's all apart of the plan. My diet is great and I end up eating the same things every week due to food prep but I don't mind. I'm getting to eat more healthy fats and that's fantastic! I love me so avocado and peanut butter.
I'm getting ready to go to Robbie's boot camp graduation in 9 days!! I'm so excited! It feels like FOREVER since I've seen my other half! We're flying to Texas and lodging on base which is great for me because I will shop at the commissary and get groceries that I can eat while I'm there. We will be eating out quite a bit while we're there because all Robbie has talking about since he's been gone is food! Lol but I am going to do my best at ordering healthy meals and bringing good out with me. I'm really excited to see if he notices any changes in me and if he likes my new blonde hair! Lol I will also try to use the on base fitness center as much as I can while I'm there. I have to stick to my plan. It will all be worth it in a few months!!
I hope everyone had a great Easter! I went to church with my fam and enjoyed dinner with my inlaws. I am so blessed to have so many wonderful people in my life!
Enjoy your week and remember to sweat!!!
