So Bailey over at Bailey's Blog! and Eva from If Someone Else Did It on Their Own Merit So Can I! (check them out they are awesome sauce) nominated me for the Liebster Award WOW I'm so touched. Thanks Bunches :)
The Libster is an award where you nominate bloggers that you enjoy reading. It's an award for bloggers with less than 200 followers, but who (in the person who nominates yous opinion) deserve way more! :) (Stole the description from Bailey )
Here is how it works:
Once you're nominated, write 11 facts about yourself
Then take a look at the 11 questions the person who nominated you asked and answer them
Get your thinking cap on and come up with 11 questions of your own for your nominees to answer
Then choose the 11 bloggers you want to nominate (they must have less than 200 followers) Let them know they've been nominated and remember there's no tag backs, i.e. you can't nominate the person who nominated you.
So since I was nominated twice (can you feel the love) I will just write the 11 facts about myself then answer both sets of Questionsso you'll know more about me than you ever wanted to know.

And these were the Questions from Eva:
My questions for these wonderful people are:
1. What made you start blogging? I love reading blogs and found that it helped to inspire me and know that they are real people who struggle just like me. So I wanted to do the same and also to keep me accountable and have a place to connect with others going through the same thing as me.
2. Where is your ultimate dream vacation? I would love to go and travel Europe someday.
3. What is your favorite exercise accessory or equipment and why? Besides my running shoes I love the resistance band you can do a lot with that little thing in a small space.
4. Is there someone in your life, past or present, that you wish to model yourself after? Who and why? Well as I said Erin is my fitness model, but in life in general it would be my dad he is one of the most awesome people I know (besides my mom). He came to America with almost nothing, speaking no English with a simple dream of living a better life and has totally accomplished that. He never let anything get in his way, and even when he failed he got right back up and gave it another try.
5. What is the stupidest thing you've ever done? Well it's kinda funny now but when the Hubs and I first got our own place we had a firepit in the backyard. I was trying to be helpful and clean it out, I put all the ashes in a plastic trashcan and made it almost all the way through the house (to take it to the dumpster) when opening the front door it melted the can and fell on to the carpet burning a ginormous hole!! Thank god The Hubs is handy and was able to "fix it". LOL I'm still trying to live that one down.
