Current workout and beauty favs
Here are some of my current favorites!
Let's start with working out. Until last week, I had never done a workout using a resistance band before so this new, but odd contraption (for me), has been keeping me on my toes. Literally, on my toes you guys. I have to wrap this thing around my feet, squat, and walk side to side. Hoolllyy cow. The next one is a given. A banana is my life saver in food form. Whenever I'm passed out on the ground covered in sweat, these things bring me back to life. Lastly, the @FitBit is not mine, but a friend is letting me borrow it to see what I think. I'm only on day one, so I'm still open to suggestions. I for sure want something that isn't as bulky as a watch, has heart rate, sleep quality and so on. The sleeker the better. So let me know!
On to the beauty bits because I'm a sucker for all things that make me feel girly💅. First off, I currently smell amazing (when I've showered after a workout of course). So if you didn't know, the new Ralph Lauren#TenderRomance (sent to me for testing - so thank you @Influenster!) smells amaaaazing so I've been popping that in my handbag and using it daily. Plus it's boyfriend approved - aka @cogzillaattacks loves it! Lastly, the @katvondbeauty liquid lipsticks are MY JAM and I'm finding it hard to pull myself away from these babies.💄.
What else is out there that I need to try? Bring it on!

What I Eat In A Day
Lately I’ve been exploring other forms of fitness and I tried a boxing class for the first time! Because I’m still getting my ride done in the morning, I find that these doubled up days tend to help me eat a bit better since I know I’m fueling up for a few workouts - thumbs up for that! Now I’m not much of a cook, but I have been trying to make better choices lately so here is an example of what I eat (on a good day)!
Breakfast: I make a smoothie or smoothie bowl with spinach/kale, oats, berries, acai juice, almond milk, banana, half an apple, flax seed, chia seed, cinnamon and sometimes protein powder. I pair that with some delicious espresso and a ton of water.
On The Ride: So on the ride, depending on how long it is, I’ll take a banana and a Clif bar. These are just my choices, of course there are plenty of options out there. Sometimes I eat, both, none or just one. Also, water is a given on the bike.
Lunch: When I get home from my ride it’s time to get to work. I baked some salmon and asparagus and put it over some mixed greens. It’s so easy and flavorful which definitely makes it one of my favorite go-to meals. Again, paired with water.
Afternoon Snack: Because I meet up with a friend for my boxing class, it actually takes me a while to get there. I’m always heading straight from work so I find a fruit pouch is an easy item to grab for in the car.
Dinner: Coming home in the evenings is always something I look forward to. My boyfriend and I are trying to make an effort to cook together, so I chose to make a pasta bowl. This one is whole wheat pasta with broccoli, avocado, shrimp, cilantro and lemon. I’d be lying if I said I didn’t eat chocolate at some point during the day, so I added in a few pieces of dark raspberry chocolate for dessert. Again, I paired my meal with water. See a trend here? That’s usually all I drink except sometimes I’ll mix it up with a tea or La Croix. Also, if you haven’t treated yourself to a candle lit bath using a bath bomb, I HIGHLY recommend it. It’s becoming my favorite way to relax.
Well that’s it! Here’s to a journey of better eating and mixing up my workout this year!
