Between job hunting, apartment moving, and long-distance relationship-ing, I can’t seem to catch a break! Running gives me order and clarity in my life and keeps me SANE! I like to keep physical fitness a priority, because I feel with your health in place, all other things will fall to order. Here are a few main contributors to my healthy lifestyle…
Nutrition: I like to keep it simple. I’m not a good cook at all, so having a few staple items makes getting the right nutrition easy. Wheat pasta, grilled chicken and veggies, fruit and Greek yogurt—oh and my go to snack, Peanut Butter and Banana Sandwiches!
The Write stuff: I keep a journal with me at all times. I write down my meals and workouts along with other notes about my day. During training, I write down my mileage after every run. It helps me visualize my goals and push me to the next mile during my workout. No one else will see it, but I know I won’t be happy unless I can put down the right number for the day!
The couple that sweats together: The best addition to my workout regimen is my boyfriend! We hike, bike, play basketball and even hula hoop together (separate hoops of course!) We teach each other new things and enjoy our healthy competition to stay fit. It’s great having someone to share in your ideal lifestyle, and makes living it that much more fun!
