Hi, I'm Nicki.

First of all, kudos to Angela for setting this up!  I'm always looking for ways to improve my health and set goals, so this is perfect.  Next, I have a confession.  I love healthy eating!  And I carry a water bottle with me everywhere I go.  So when I read through the five challenges I was thinking, "Easy peesy!" Then I stopped and stared at the one about exercising 30 minutes per day six days each week.  STUMPED.  I've never been someone who works out.  I daydream about being one of those people all the time...but it has never translated into actually doing it.  So I decided to seriously think about whether or not I was ready to commit to this.

The next morning I rolled over in bed at 5:00am and, as usual, my husband was already gone.  At the gym.  He's my hero!  Six days a week he's at the gym for 1.5-2 hours...before I'm even out of bed.

That morning I decided to join this challenge.

I was still sleepy, so I also made my personal goal to be out of bed by 7:00am every morning.  Apparently I was feeling really hard core, because I definitely love my sleep.  Here's to goals and pushing myself!

I majored in Global Studies and Business at BYU and worked as the Assistant Director of the Alumni Association at UVU for two years.  My husband and I have been married for 3.5 years.  We met at BYU and were married a year later in New York City.  It was unbelievably amazing!  We now live in Draper, UT.  Eight months ago I had a beautiful baby boy.  He was eight weeks early because I developed a life-threatening condition called HELLP Syndrome.  Luckily, modern medicine is amazing and five weeks later we brought him home from the hospital.  He's an absolute riot.  I'm now home full-time and I can't get enough of him!

I love photo editing, clean eating, essential oils, reading, and laughing really hard.
