Thanks for the #whatsonmyplate tag @fudge2fit ! Yesterday I discovered avocado toast and it was wonderful 😍 #kaylaitsines #kaylasarmy #bbg #week9 #Bbgprogress #bbgcommunity #bbgsisters #deathbykayla #sweatwithkayla #womp

Being home means I get to make yummy oatmeal! This is cake batter oatmeal and it's sooo good! It called for vanilla protein powder and I don't have any 😅 I've been looking into getting some, but would LOVE to get some suggestions. I'm not vegetarian or vegan, so that doesn't matter when I consider what kind to get. I'm definitely willing to try those kind, though! So please if you're using a favorite brand right now, let me know about it! #oats #sweatwithkayla #deathbykayla #bbgsisters #bbgcommunity #week9 #protein

Finals ✔️ Move back home ✔️ Show boyfriend progress photos ✔️ Okay, so I showed my boyfriend my progress photos and he was SHOCKED. When he saw me he admitted he didn't really notice that big of a difference. He made me show him the original week 8 photo where my face was in it to prove it was me lol I kind of expected that he wouldn't see a difference by just looking at me, but I knew the comparison pictures would show him exactly what I was talking about and he seemed very proud with my progress ☺️ My mom didn't show the same excitement, but I wasn't expecting her to. Overall, I'm happy to be home and get back to my normal workout schedule. #kaylaitsines #kaylasarmy #bbg #week9 #Bbgprogress #bbgcommunity #bbgsisters #deathbykayla #sweatwithkayla

Guess who just took more than a minute off her 3 mile time???!!! That's right, this girl! 🙋🏻🙋🏻🙋🏻🙋🏻🙋🏻💁🏻 next time I'm going for it. I WILL get my 3 mile time under 30 minutes. It felt so good to get away from studying and sweat the stress away. I hope everyone had a wonderful Tuesday! P.S. Please excuse the creepy face I'm making. I didn't realize how awful it was until I went to post it and I don't have another one 😂😅 #kaylaitsines #kaylasarmy #bbg #week9 #LISS #bbgcommunity #bbgsisters #deathbykayla #sweatwithkayla

Happy #transformationtuesday!!! You all just get a side view today because I go home Saturday and want my transformation to be a surprise to my boyfriend! I'm afraid he'll see it even though he promised me he wouldn't look lol. The amount of stress relief I get from consistently working out has been key to my success this semester! I'm so thankful to have finally found a program that I love and have time to do! I am so much more confident and love to share my experiences with other people!! #kaylaitsines #kaylasarmy #bbg #week8 #bbgprogress #bbgcommunity #bbgsisters #deathbykayla #sweatwithkayla

Got some week 8 legs in today!! I'm sooo behind on my studying and really need to kick it into gear tomorrow along with my RA duties. I hardly have a problem motivating myself to workout, but when it comes to school, I just can't do it 😩 Hope everyone had a wonderful Saturday! #kaylaitsines #kaylasarmy #bbg #week8 #legsandcardio #bbgcommunity #bbgsisters #deathbykayla #sweatwithkayla

Decided to switch it up a bit with a run for LISS yesterday. I've been trying to get my 3 mile time down to 30 minutes and yesterday I made it in 32:30! That's a couple minutes off my time from 3 weeks ago. I was completely drenched in sweat and my hips are killing me today. Of course all of the sweat and soreness is completely worth it. Today I have week 8 legs planned and I'm sure it's going to be a challenge since I'm already sore. I'm really kicking it into gear these next two weeks so I can go home and show everyone my hard work! #kaylaitsines #kaylasarmy #bbg #week8 #LISS #bbgcommunity #bbgsisters #deathbykayla #sweatwithkayla #running

Who in the WORLD decided that ankle weights would be a GOOD idea???? Seriously almost died today on week 8 abs and cardio. I'm feeling a little down this evening thinking of going back home this evening. I'm so afraid my family won't see the changes I do, or will just brush it to the side like it doesn't matter. I AM doing this for myself, but it's always nice to hear some good words from family members when you work really hard for something. I'm just going to use this to push myself even harder the next week and a half so I make sure they can tell a difference! Hope everyone had a good Wednesday and killed their workouts! #kaylaitsines #kaylasarmy #bbg #week8 #HIIT #bbgcommunity #bbgsisters #deathbykayla #sweatwithkayla #absandcardio

"Wild and Wonderful" "Almost heaven" "West by God" All amazing phrases to describe my beautiful state. Yes, West Virginia IS its OWN state and has been since 1863! I'm so lucky to live and go to school in such a beautiful state. We even have awesome places to hike right on campus 😍 Had an amazing LISS hike yesterday with fit babe @foodbabies_r_us and I hope we do this more often!! Week 8 abs and cardio is up today!! 👊🏻💥 #kaylaitsines #kaylasarmy #bbg #week8 #LISS #bbgcommunity #bbgsisters #deathbykayla #sweatwithkayla

Happy #transformationtuesday!!!! Just over two months of hard work (and a few not so great weeks) separate these two pictures. I'm in week 8 right now, so I'll do official progress pictures at the end of the week! I just saw my #morningabs and had to snap a pic! LISS is on my schedule for today and I can't wait 😍 I hope everyone has an amazing Tuesday and smashes their workouts! 👊🏻💥💪🏻❤️ #kaylaitsines #kaylasarmy #bbg #week8 #LISS #bbgcommunity #bbgsisters #deathbykayla #sweatwithkayla #bbgprogress

Thanks for the #weeklygoals tag @motivationchlo First and foremost I HAVE to be on top of my studying since finals are next week. Organic and physics will be the death of me 😓 I want to really be on top of my eating this week. It's so hard to do in a dorm. Lastly, I want to really be present in my workouts and focus on me form. #kaylaitsines #kaylasarmy #bbg #week8 #HIIT #bbgcommunity #bbgsisters #deathbykayla #sweatwithkayla #motivationmonday

LISS was accomplished today by walking around the zoo! The weather was perfect for the animals and they were so active! We also caught quite a few right around feeding time, so that was helpful! I had such a fun time even with being behind schedule all day. I can't wait to spend every single day surrounded by animals, even if it's just cats and dogs 🐱🐶❤ #sweatwithkayla #deathbykayla #bbgsisters #bbgcommunity #liss #futureveterinarian

Happy FriYAY!!! Today I faced my fear of wearing spandex to the gym! I'm always so afraid my butt is going to hang out or I'm going to look inappropriate. I didn't really have any choice since all of my other shorts are dirty 😅 It's important for me to keep a sense of professionalism since I'm an RA and workout in the dorm gym, but it wasn't crowded today and I went for it! Week 7 is officially done and there's only 2 more weeks of this semester!!! I'm hoping to go home and surprise all my family and friends with my progress. I hope everyone had an awesome day and start to the weekend!!! #kaylaitsines #kaylasarmy #bbg #week7 #fullbody #bbgcommunity #bbgsisters #deathbykayla #sweatwithkayla

Rosie gets me through arm day! I have officially decided that week 7 arms and abs is the WORST. Although, I could tell quite a bit of progress from week 5! Now that my whole body hurts from legs yesterday and arms and abs today, I'm going to spend the rest of the evening studying for an organic Chem lab final! Happy hump day! 💪🏻💪🏻 #kaylaitsines #kaylasarmy #bbg #week7 #armsandabs #bbgcommunity #bbgsisters #deathbykayla #sweatwithkayla

I found my motivation again, today! I tried putting shorts on that fit me last summer and could hardly get them on this morning. I also got a new bikini with ruffled bottoms and my booty is def not ready for it yet! This poor college kid doesn't have the money to buy a ton of new shorts, so I'm going to completely cut out the desserts I've been allowing myself and hit my workouts HARD. The first week I do a workout, I usually don't use weights just to get a feel for the circuits, then the next time it comes around I add in what I think will be a nice challenge. Today I went all out for week 7 legs and cardio. I finished my workout almost an hour ago and my legs are still wobbly 😂 I know I'm going to be crazy sore tomorrow, but I can't wait! I made sure to stretch extra deep today! I hope everyone smashed their workouts today! 👊🏻💥🍑💪🏻 #kaylaitsines #kaylasarmy #bbg #week7 #legsandcardio #bbgcommunity #bbgsisters #deathbykayla #sweatwithkayla

I was tagged by @motivationchlo for a #nosweatyselfie a few days ago and today is the first day I've actually looked put together. This was at an RA banquet for the end of the year. So sad to see this year come to a close, but can't wait for next year! #kaylaitsines #kaylasarmy #bbg #week6 #bbgcommunity #bbgsisters #deathbykayla #sweatwithkayla

So I'm not going to lie and say that I'm proud of this picture. I haven't taken any leg-focused pictures during my journey until now. I was really hoping to see a lot more definition than I currently do. I've always had skinny/defined arms since I was a cheerleader and spun flags in the color guard. My abs also show up quite quickly whenever I start a workout program. The slowest progress I've seen is in my legs. I'm not happy posting this, but that's okay. This picture will be great to compare with in a few months. I've been really slacking on motivation lately and this is definitely going to kick my butt in gear. Week 6 is officially over. Week 7, here I come! 💪🏻👊🏻💥 #kaylaitsines #kaylasarmy #bbg #week6 #legsandcardio #bbgcommunity #bbgsisters #deathbykayla #sweatwithkayla
