COVID-19: Tips on staying happy, healthy, and sane

3/18/2020

0 Comments

 
Wow! What a couple weeks it's been.

How are you holding up?

If you're like most people, I'm guessing you're working from home, trying to home school your kids, wondering where your next toilet paper is going to come from, social distancing, and somehow trying to keep your sanity.

Two seconds on facebook or watching the news can send you down a spiral of panic and fear. You've received a bazillion emails from all your favorite businesses telling you what they're doing to help prevent the spread of COVID-19. And you just want some sense of normalcy back in your life.

Instead of reiterating everything that you've already seen, today I just want to share some tips to stay healthy, happy, and as sane as possible during these trying times.

Running in the winter, what should I wear??

1/20/2019

0 Comments

 
After over 10 years of winter running in Buffalo, NY, I've learned a thing or two about cold weather running. Trust me, if anyone's going to bitch about the cold, it's me, but just because it's freezing outside, doesn't mean you're doomed to treadmill running for the next few months until things start to thaw out!

For years I only ran in the summer because I thought for sure I'd freeze my ass off if I tried to run outside in the winter, but once I finally did, I realized that with the proper clothing, it's actually not so bad, and can also be kind of fun running in the snow!

​Over 10 years later, I still use this chart below to figure out what to wear on my runs.

Meal Prep for people who don't meal prep

1/6/2019

If you've ever scrolled through Instagram past a post of a week's worth of perfectly laid out and planned healthy food, each meal neatly placed in it's own container, and it's given you instant anxiety..... don't worry, I've been there!! In fact, I've been there as recently as just a couple weeks ago. So I feel ya!

The past two weeks I've made some changes to how I view (and tackle!) meal prep, and I can honestly say that it no longer freaks the hell out of me. So I wanted to share them with you while they'e still fresh!

30 reasons not to cheat on your workout program (and yourself!!)

10/19/2018

I think we've all been there. We see that one friend's fitness post that hits us at just the right time. We're feeling like shit, we're not exactly sure what happened or how we seemingly ended up gaining that 10 lbs back *overnight*, and we're determined to make this "THE. LAST. TIME".

We reach out to our friend, order our new package that going to give us alllll the fitness and nutrition tools we need and is going to make everythingggg better, and then by week 2, or 3, or sometimes not even until month 2 or 3, we hit a wall. We don't feel like doing it anymore. We're not in the mood. And we can think of a laundry list of excuses why we can skip our workout, not have our shake that day, and eat and drink everything in sight.

Here's 24 days of no alcohol and clean eating for me, and I'm *only* down about 2 lbs between these two pics. 😳🚫🍷

It's crazy just what nutrition does and how quickly you can see changes!

What's in your bread?

2/15/2017

I know nutrition can be super confusing. What plan do I follow? What's the latest trend? Should I go gluten free? Vegan? Aren't carbs supposed to be bad?

Here's a great example...

The word "vegan" is often confused with the word "healthy". YES, eating vegan CAN be super healthy, but it doesn't mean that EVERYTHING that's vegan is healthy.

Inside the fitness journey

A lot of my journey you can't see. It's been on the inside. It's the size of my smile while pinching my stomach. It's not having a legit meltdown while trying to find something in my closet that fits. It's feeling sexy in my own skin. It's being able to share pics like these and not cringe at the thought of hitting post.

Ever hear the saying "I wish I were as thin as when I thought I was fat?"
