This is going to be a quick post. I had to tell you about my new water bottle. For my birthday, I got a smart water bottle. I know I didn’t really need it since I am pretty good about staying hydrated. I just thought it looked so cool and love the idea of getting…
You would think climbing stairs wouldn’t be such a fitness challenge! I figured after working out at the Swallow Cliff stairs last month, I would try something closer to home. And, I thought going up and down my high school bleachers would be a light workout. I couldn’t be more wrong. I don’t think there…
I now have a love/hate relationship with planks. I’ve been doing them pretty regularly this month and they are getting easier. That is the love part. Twenty seconds is not so hard anymore. The hate part is because twenty seconds isn’t bad, I am trying to go longer and try different styles. That’s when it…
I’d think I have ever been good at planning. It’s not like I am always late or doing things last minute. Anyone who knows me can tell you I hate being late. I have just never been focused on scheduling ahead what I need or want to do. It’s sort of ironic because I am…
For a long time, I said I was too busy to work out or go for a run. Let’s be honest. If you feel you are too busy to do something, you really just don’t want to do it. I will admit that there are days when I don’t feel like going to the gym….
I’ve never thought of myself as a morning person but maybe I am. During the school week, I get up at about 5:30am for classes that start at 7am. Luckily, I don’t need to snooze my alarm 232344 times. After a few minutes in bed to wake myself up, I am pretty much ready to…
I couldn’t read about the benefits of drinking water without seeing a TON of articles that imply lemon water is the answer to all things wellness. My parents have told me the same, even though they often seem to pull out a large water bottle, slice up enough lemon for a week and drink one…
I have always wanted to have an actual workout and wellness plan, but was never motivated to actually get started. Why? Who knows. Most of the time my excuse was that I was just too busy with school and music to commit to a plan. Seems crazy for someone who is in high school, but…
Some people are naturally self motivated to workout. I am not always one of them! There are times when I really look forward to running at the gym or lifting weights. But there are also times when I just want to put workout clothes on so I can lay in bed to binge watch 3…
DAY ONE! I couldn’t pick something easy and low-key for my first workout. It needed to be motivating and something I haven’t done before. Let’s start by saying how lucky I am that my boyfriend was willing to help me get started. (ok…maybe I needed to beg a little)…(and maybe he DID say, “Are we…
