    Our 10 Day Italy Road Trip

    June 23, 2019 /

    Italy has been on my bucket list for years. I mean, why wouldn’t it be? Great food, amazing art and history, and beautiful scenery always make for an amazing trip. Jonny had served his mission (for the Church of Jesus Christ) in northern Italy, so when we got married we decided that we would save up for a big trip to Italy together. Just about two years into our marriage, we were able to snag some great discounted flights and we anxiously waited until we could pack our bags and take off! We decided to rent a car and explore the country on an 10-day Italy road trip. And I’m…

    How to Stay Fit While Traveling

    May 1, 2019 /

    This post contains affiliate links.  If there is one thing I enjoy more than fitness, it’s traveling. There is so much this beautiful world has to offer and I want to see it all! Unfortunately, when you are trying to live a healthy lifestyle (eating right and working out) traveling can become stressful. Eating nutritiously while on vacation can be difficult and finding time or means to get ANY kind of workout can seem impossible. I want to help you maintain a healthy lifestyle while still enjoying your travel time. As a fairly experienced traveler, I’m here to tell you it IS possible to keep up good habits, whether you are…

    My first trip to Jackson Hole this winter was one to remember! I’ve heard amazing things about Jackson Hole and the Tetons and I’m so grateful I had the chance to explore and ski there this winter with my family! I thought it would be fun to share the details of our trip in case you’re thinking of visiting Jackson Hole in winter. If you love the mouintains, then Jackson Hole is the place for you! Where to Stay We stayed just outside of Teton Village at a little condo we rented through VRBO. If you’re looking to save some money, I definitely recommend staying outside of the resorts and…

We also got to celebrate our one-year engageaversary while we were there.

    How to Have a Dreamy Alaska Honeymoon + A Sample Itinerary

    August 12, 2017 /

    Imagine a place so green, lush, and human-less it feels like you stepped back in time to the Jurrasic period. Picture glaciers so big they stick out like giant scars on the mountains hundreds of miles away. Envision so many bald eagles flying around and snatching fish you’ll wonder if they really were on the endangered list. #Murica Can you picture such an amazing, adventurous place? I’ll be honest. When my fiance (now darling husband) and I booked our honeymoon to Alaska, I wasn’t expecting anything that incredible. I mean I knew we were in for a treat. A huge adventure. Everyone know’s Alaska is the Last Frontier, the place…

      New York City on a budget. Sounds like an oxymoron right?  But the great thing is, traveling to the concrete jungle is affordable when you’re broke.  Trust me, I would know.  With some careful planning and as always, saving, I finally got to check off one of the most iconic cities in the world off my bucket list.  I was so excited I listened to T-Swifts “Welcome to New York” song on repeat for a month.   New York didn’t disappoint. Well, except when we got turned down to see Jimmy Fallon. That will forever be one of the biggest disappointments of my life. We had standby tickets to see…

It sucked.  I was running what would be my 4th Ragnar Relay in beautiful Napa valley when I came down with a nasty cold. At first, I just thought it was allergies. But when my tonsils swole up and my throat ached I figured this was more than just some sniffles.  There wasn’t much I could do about it, so I just continued groggily and painfully running and ended up feeling crappy the whole trip.  It was definitely my least favorite Ragnar.  I promised myself after that experience that…

    I Spent All My Money On A Trip of A Lifetime: Here’s What Happened

    March 8, 2016 /

    It All Started With a Bucket List When I was in high school, I wrote out a bucket list. It was a pretty adventurous bucket list to say the least.  Although it had some common goals like going to my dream university and graduating, it mostly consisted of traveling to far off places.  Places like New Zealand, Europe, maybe even South America.  As I was approaching graduation, (from my favorite University that I did happen to get into) I had a sudden wave of wanderlust hit me HARD. If you enjoy traveling, I’m sure you know what I’m talking about.  All at once all you can think about is going somewhere…

Thoughts going into the new year 👉🏼 Stop pla Thoughts going into the new year 👉🏼 Stop playing the victim. ❌ ( I actually shared this last year, but I feel so strongly about it I think it’s worth sharing again.) 
⠀⠀
Life is full of ups and downs, some because life is just that way and sometimes because of the choices you make. You can choose to be angry, shift blame, & negative or you can work hard, do you best, and stay positive. 😊
⠀⠀
Because guess what? You get to choose your attitude every day. You get to decide how your life goes. If you don’t like something? Change it. Can’t control certain things? Don’t fixate on it. Focus on the good and the good gets better. 👊🏼

Do you still workout with a calorie goal in mind? Do you still workout with a calorie goal in mind? 🔥 ⠀⠀
⁣
Here’s a tip, maybe instead of worrying about how many calories you burn in a workout focus on a performance goal instead. 💪🏼 It could be lifting a little bit heavier than last time or getting deeper in that squat. Maybe it’s trimming down your 5k time or finally getting that perfect pull up. 🙌🏻
⠀⠀
Burning calories is great, but you’ll really see improvements and feel like an athlete when you focus on something specific rather than just an estimated calorie burn. 👍
⠀⠀
Hope you guys have a wonderful weekend! 😘

⁣
Give them some love with these stretches! I love to do these after a workout or when they need some extra help. 
⁣
Although you don’t want to overstretch these muscles, regularly giving them some attention with thoughtful stretches or mobility work can help them loosen up and feel less tight or sore. 
⁣
Hold each for 30-60 seconds.

Pro tip: try doing it while you watch a show or make it a more relaxing experience with your favorite music and essential oils!

How to stay healthy when you have a desk job 💻 How to stay healthy when you have a desk job 💻
⁣
Have a desk job? Spend quite a bit of time sitting for work? I’m right there with ya! 
⁣
Working full time and prioritizing health  can be tricky. Here are some of my tips that help me balance it all and keep my health a priority 👇🏼
⁣
1. Focus on your nutrition. It’s the one thing that almost always you can control IF you give it some thought. Stick to the basics like getting veggies and limiting your processed food intake and you’ll be golden. 
⁣
2. Use your lunch break wisely. I like to use my lunch break to get in some movement (even if it’s just a short walk) and/or make a nutritious meal. Meditation or getting some fresh air is also a good idea! 
⁣
3. Stand for a few minutes every hour. If you have a standing desk, use it! Or just get up, stretch, and try working standing up every now and then. 
⁣
4. Drink that H20. You’ll keep your energy up, and have to pee more which means you’ll have to take a break from sitting more 😘
⁣
5. Try adding strength training to your routine. It suuuuper sucks but as we age we lose muscle mass IF we don’t do anything about it. You can combat extra muscle loss and bad desk posture with strength training. Muscle = youth ✨

No matter the road ahead, remember you’ve surviv No matter the road ahead, remember you’ve survived everything life has thrown at you so far. 💪🏼
⁣
I’ve leaned this year there’s a lot of things I can’t control and that’s been frustrating. Sometimes I felt so helpless this past year watching things unfold. 
⁣
But, I also leaned that it’s not always our job to fix the worlds problems but to just focus on our own little sphere and what we can control and who we can help. 
⁣
✨I have power over my health & well-being.
✨I have power over my attitude & faith.
✨I have power to help & love those close to me.
⁣
I hope you all have a safe and happy new year and that 2021 brings you joy! 💙 What are you doing to ring in the new year?
