Over 3,000 steps, 1 mile slow run to ease back into training, 4+ miles of walking...this dinner was earned! Crockpot fiesta chicken & onions with shredded triple cheddar blend on a whole wheat tortilla, mixed greens and blue corn chips with a side of medium salsa and organic black refried beans (1.7F & 7P! Obsessed). Day 2 of #31daywellnesschallenge has been pretty good! #alwaysalifeworthliving #healthynoms #runlikeagirl

Hi I use the Polar FT4. I know you weren't interested much in that brand but I love it! It's a watch normally and while you are working out you can arrow down and put it on a page that shows the duration of your workout as well as the time; you can arrow up and down throughout your workout to monitor heart rate and cals burned. Hope this was helpful!

Thank you! Your response is helpful :) the bottom line is that I need a device that works I’ve heard so many good reviews on the Polar brand so if I don’t find a tracker that’s less of a watch and still functions properly ill most likely be getting a Polar brand fitness tracker! Thanks again!!! 😘

alwaysalifeworthliving replied to your photo “It’s #Wednesday so that means it’s #organic box day!!! My fave day of...”

how do I get one of these

This is in my city.  Maybe ask around at different vegan or organic places if they offer one where you are.  A friend at work told me about this one.

What is your adventure jar?!

Because my adventures don't tend to be very specific, I've labeled it my "adventure jar." It's extra money I didn't spend during the week that I'm putting towards something fun in the future. However, I want to do something fun this summer (like go to Vegas, San Diego, or the beach) so right now it's my funds for a summer adventure. :) I'm hoping my friends and I go to Vegas!

Easing my way back into the fitness grind with a couple of long walks, yoga flows and foam rolling sessions. Tonight consisted of a 3 mile walk, yoga + foam rolling flow and camomile tea with local honey (to hopefully cure this cold I'm working on). #healthyliving #alwaysalifeworthliving #runlikeagirl

Monday I start running and training again. The Lord has been changing my heart in crazy ways over the past few months and starting on Monday, those changes will start to manifest themselves in my everyday life. Faith, food, fitness, family and friends -- God is teaching me many things and I'm excited for what the future holds! #healthyliving #alwaysalifeworthliving #runlikeagirl

Planned to go to yoga with a friend tonight but we weren't feeling it. Ended up doing some (window) shopping so I logged some good steps then finished by walking around my house continually until I hit my 10,000 😂. Followed that with an upper body workout (push ups, dolphins, bench press, tricep overhead press, lat raise, front raise, tricep kickbacks, bicep curls and shoulder press) and a mini core workout (planks, v ups, scissors, Russian twists & mountain climbers). Feeling good!

Obsessively loving my life this week. Skipped yoga today so I'm walking around my house in order to get my steps with my new FITBIT before doing an upper body workout. Hubs is at worship team rehearsal, I've already eaten and there's nothing new on Netflix - zero excuses today.

I've lost 3 inches off my waist and 2 off my hips since December! Woot.

Leg...Day...

Holy wow. I am dying in the best way possible. Today’s lower body workout included: narrow squat w/ kick back, narrow squat w/ lat kick, regular squat, sumo squat, regular squat weighted, calf raises, inverted calf raises, donkey kicks, glute bridge and single leg dumbbell Romanian lifts.... followed by a yoga flow to ensure that I properly stretched. My entire body was shaking for nearly 10 minutes after but made a protein smoothie (1/2 banana, kale, OJ & vanilla protein) and cooked dinner. 

Speaking of dinner LET ME TELL YOU how amazing it is. Skinny Fettucini from gimmesomeoven.com > I used 1/3: spinach linguine, regular linguine & whole wheat linguine which is an amazing combo, swapped 1% milk for fat free (I’m not into milk anymore but figured I would just go the lowest fat since that’s normally what I overeat) and baked chicken, asparagus and snow peas to add in. So great. Can’t wait to devour it today and tomorrow and the next day.... nom.

Today I love my outfit and feel good about mah self. Hollah at Lulu for the top + headband and Nike for the kicks. Now off to kill my legs.

#drooling over this stir fry dinner: overnight marinated chicken, brown rice, onions, red peppers, squash, zucchini and snow peas garnished with grilled pineapple and topped with sesame seeds. What a great #refuel from my run tonight! Today was a great day. #alwaysalifeworthliving #funeralformyfat #2016NYRConsistency

First 5K (plus a little) since my injury .... Rough time but still better per mile than I anticipated. This is 1/3 the distance of my 15K race which is exactly 21 days from today! Even if I have to walk some during the race, I WILL finish and I WILL earn my chocolate bar medal 😍

Still working towards #mecanruns366 and the #hotchocolate15k! Today's run was inspired by my ladies' fitness group. #alwaysalifeworthliving #funeralformyfat #2016NYRConsistency
