Happy Friday! What’s everyone up to this weekend

Lately I’ve been trying to focus more on things

Lately I’ve been trying to focus more on things that make me happy. I tend to dwell on the negative over the positive so I’m trying to change that and focus on the good. So what are some things that make me happy?! ☺️.
- Leo, of course!
- Workout classes with friends.
- Decorating my new apartment.
- Finding new shows to watch on Netflix and Hulu
- FaceTiming with my sisters and baby nephew.
- Morning coffee ☕️.
- Exciting opportunities via Instagram.
- Putting good, nutritious food into my body, like my favorite Dark Chocolate Chip Peanut Butter @perfectbar 😍🥜🍫 I love enjoying it on- the- go while I’m running errands or after my morning workout 💪🏻 It’s packed with 15 grams of whole food protein to help keep me full! It seriously tastes like chocolate chip cookie dough that’s good for you! 🙌🏻 I love to stock up on mine at @wholefoods and @traderjoes✨ #itsjustperfect #ad

Monday is here! I love starting my week out strong

Monday is here! I love starting my week out strong in the gym! 💪🏻 One of my favorite ways to mix cardio into my routine is starting or ending my strength workout with intervals on the treadmill 🏃🏻‍♀️ Even though I’m not logging all the miles on the strand right now, I still can get a good workout in on the treadmill. One of my goals over the next few weeks is to increase my sprint time and decrease my recovery time. I usually program my treadmill workouts into my GARMIN Venu before I head to the gym. That way all I have to do is press start when I get there! 💥 I would love you know, do you enjoy mixing your cardio into your strength workout or doing it separately?! I want to work on another project for you guys, so I would love to know what you prefer! 😉✨ #becksliveshealthy #garminfitness #garminambassador

Oh Leo...🐶 Seriously I don’t know what I woul

Oh Leo...🐶 Seriously I don’t know what I would do without him. He’s been there for me through some of my most difficult times the last few years- breakups, career changes, and several moves. He’s seriously the happiest pup and always smiling ☺️.

My sunset walks on the strand have been my favorite form of self care lately. It’s been the perfect way to have some quiet time, get some exercise, and spend time at the beach. What’s your favorite form of self care?! ✨ #becksliveshealthy

My plan was to get outside for a run this weekend.

My plan was to get outside for a run this weekend. I haven’t hit the pavement since mid- October. I made excuses this weekend on why not to run outside - my apartment was a disaster and I couldn’t focus on having a good warmup, and it was too cold out. Honestly I think I made these excuses because I’m kind of scared to run outside again. I dont want to be disappointed if I do have knee pain. So on Saturday instead of running outside, I hit the treadmill for a 3 mile run/ walk- alternating 0.5 mile running & 0.25 mile walking. I was a little disappointed I didn’t make it outside for a run, but it was a still a start! So for now, I’m still focusing on my strength workouts. Maybe I’ll get out for a run this week or maybe I’ll hit the treadmill again. I’m trying not to put pressure on myself. I know I’ll get back out there when the time is right 🙌🏻🏃🏻‍♀️ #becksliveshealthy

I’ve been in kind of a breakfast rut lately! For the last few months my go- to breakfast has been either a bowl of stovetop oats or a waffle! Today I decided to hop back on the loaded sweet potato train 😍 .

There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under the heavens ✨

1/9/19: Can’t believe it’s already been a year dad. Miss and love you tons 💛

It’s a new year which means most of us have goal

It’s a new year which means most of us have goals to get back in the gym or back into our routine! It definitely can be a struggle getting back into a routine after the holidays though. I feel like the holidays lasted so long this year- they were midweek so by the time they were over it was time for the weekend! Anyways, let’s chat about my favorite ways to get motivated to workout and back in the gym 👊🏻:
1️⃣ Make a new playlist- I’ve been loving the Two Friends Remixes on Spotify!
2️⃣ Schedule a workout with a friend. It can be a yoga class, hike outside, morning run, or a even sunset walk!
3️⃣ Plan workouts for the week ahead 📝 Write them down in a planner or google calendar!
4️⃣ If budget allows- buy a new piece of workout clothes or shoes! 👟 If not, go through your closet and find older pieces of clothes that you may have forgot about that you can wear to your next workout
5️⃣ If you workout in the morning, have a healthy breakfast prepped and waiting when you get home- I always look forward to a jar of prepped overnight oats! 🍌 #becksliveshealthy

#sponsored Surprise! I moved about a month ago! I kept quiet about it on social media so I could show you all my new space when it was done! The first place I tackled and organized when I moved in was my kitchen and pantry 👩🏻‍🍳 I spend a lot of time in here so I wanted to make it a priority to have it well organized and clean! I packed it with some of my favorite healthy snacks! I work from home most days so it’s important for me to have healthy options available for me to snack on! I usually crave a little chocolate after lunch, and so I stocked up on healthier, low- sugar options like @lilys_sweets available to satisfy my sweet tooth. Lily’s has no added sugar, is sweetened with stevia, and is made with non- GMO ingredients. You can purchase @lilys_sweets now on Lily’s website! Link is below ✨ What are some of your favorite snacks to keep in your pantry?! #breakupwithsugar #lesssugarsweetlife #lilyssweets #🍫 .

Hope everyone’s 2020 is off to a great start! It’s still so weird saying 2020, hah! Anyways, I would really like to bring more mental health content to my page this year. I’m not exactly sure what that looks like yet, but I want to share more of my struggles and work in therapy. Last year I started therapy because I could no longer cope with things on my own. Last year was about getting started and this year is about doing more work in and outside of therapy, practicing more self love, creating a better routine, and finding more outlets for help 💓✨ #becksliveshealthy

Peace out 2019 ✌🏻💓

2019 RECAP: Wow what a year. So many changes. Disappointments and things to celebrate. Today on the blog I’m opening up and reflecting on this past year. I did my best to share the answers to some questions I’ve been receiving on here - I hope you guys understand this is what I’m comfortable sharing for now even though it may be a bit vague 💓 .
.
.
A few of my goals for 2020 include: *Bring more video content to BecksLivesHealthy *Spend more time creating recipes in the kitchen *Take a trip to Bali *Fall in love with myself again ✨
I would love to hear below, what is one of your goals for the new year?! 💫 #becksliveshealthy 📷: @jessrochowphoto
