NIKES on SALE

my WORKOUT & what I EAT

Hey guys! Every Wednesday I will be posting a round up of my favorite workouts, what I’m eating and fitness gear on sale. I spend so much time in my workout clothes, whether I am going to gym classes or learning from personal trainers.  I thought it would be fun to share all of this with you. It’s a big part of my life and I want to bring more of it to the blog. In fact I’m hoping to start teaching soon and getting back into the fitness world. I’d love to have a few clients and teach a few spin classes. My sister Kristen is a dietician and will be helping me with my diet and keeping me up on the best recipes. I mostly eat paleo style. I call it a modified paleo plan. Tons of protein, veggies, fruits, nuts, almond butter with a few whole grains. I limit processed foods and sugar. I have treats and have cheat meals so don’t get scared. I still want to indulge when I’m out with friends or at the movies with my husband (I must have popcorn & milkduds). But my point is that I live 80% eating healthy and 20% indulging on the things I love. In my 20’s I didn’t have to worry about it so much but I’m finding now in my 30’s I have to be consistent or else I feel terrible. I want to live a healthy lifestyle without yo-yoing. My motto during this journey is CONSISTENCY. I’d love for you to join in on my fitness journey and share your experiences or tips. I’ll break down my grocery lists, protein powders I use, snacks, family dinners, etc. Let me know what you want or need and I’ll be sure to do it. I’m obsessed with these NIKES and wear them in and out of the gym. Finally on sale!
