Listening to a good podcast or getting into an audiobook motivates me to walk more frequently and walk longer distance. If I'm really into a book I'm excited to get my butt out the door and my AirPods in so I can keep listening to my book or podcast. Since a lot of us are walking more (see my post on why walking is great exercise) during this stay at home time I thought I would round up my … [Read more...]

This is not a food journal, but an outline of what I mainly eat throughout the day. The intention of sharing this is to provide you with a glimpse of how I structure my meals and workouts and to link yummy recipes or fun workouts you might want to try for yourself. Since this is not a food journal and I don't count calories I'm not writing out every single bit or sip I take a day. Sometimes … [Read more...]

I'm such a group fitness junkie and have been missing my in studio classes like crazy! Thank god I got my Peloton bike right when I did because I might be going a little crazy right now. I'm able to get my cardio in on the bike (and lots and lots of walking!) but I've also been using the Peloton and SWEAT app for HIIT, yoga, and strength training. So today, I thought it might be helpful if I did … [Read more...]

In Washington we just got the announcement that kids will not be returning to school before summer break and our shelter in place was pushed back to May 4th. We are really hoping to only be completely homebound one more month. BUT since we are all still currently sheltering in place I'm guessing a lot of you are continually on the hunt for products that will help keep you comfy, healthy, and … [Read more...]

While all the beauty bloggers are showing off their 20 minute makeup routine I'll be over here sharing my 20 minutes daily supplement routine ;) Kidding...it doesn't take me 20 minutes, but it does take some work to stay on top of.

| jacket (on sale) | sunnies | January feels like it was a year ago and I'm wondering...can you even remember the intentions you made for 2020? Funny how we get so motivated the first of the year and how easily we can slide back into old behaviors. It might be time to check in with yourself as we transition into Spring. You might be thinking it's time to "spring clean" your nutrition game and … [Read more...]

| hat | sweatshirt | leggings | shoes | sunnies | This article on plant-based eating is well written and helps clear up some of the confusion about what term "plant based" eating really means.
