You guys know that I’m all about meal prep when

I can’t believe we’re coming up on a year sinc

I can’t believe we’re coming up on a year since I’ve released MOVE WITH STRENGTH! Time flies! Anyways, I wanted to do a big GIVEAWAY today and give you all a chance to win my workout guide! I’m sure some of you are getting bored with your home workouts by now or looking for a new program to follow when you get back to the gym. Or maybe some of you have found a new love for running during quarantine but aren’t doing any strength training to support your running and prevent injury. This guide will be perfect for you then! 🙌🏻.
.
.
So why did I create MOVE WITH STRENGTH?! ✨ I wanted to give runners a strength training program to help supplement their running, not take away from running 🏃🏻‍♀️ After running several marathons and half marathons I’ve learned how to balance both running and strength, and the importance of it 🙌🏻 .
.
.
The great thing about this MOVE WITH STRENGTH is it’s not just for runners. It can be for anyone looking for a functional strength training program or anyone looking to change up their current routine like I mentioned earlier! 💪🏻.
.
.
Let’s get into the giveaway! One lucky person will win my workout guide- MOVE WITH STRENGTH along with a pair of sliders and resistance bands that will be needed for the workouts!! 🎉 To enter:

Snack break!!! Munchin’ on one of my favorite snacks- @perfectbar Milk Chocolate Refrigerated Peanut Butter Cups 🥜🍫 Over the last month of quarantine while working both at home and in the hospital I feel like I’ve been going non- stop. I can’t complain though, I feel very lucky to be working. I’m just a little tired so it’s been important for me to carve out time for myself too! I’ve been trying to squeeze in naps when I can, walks by the beach with the dogs, and quiet time at home while enjoying one my favorite snacks! @perfectbar Refrigerated Peanut Butter cups can be found online at perfectsnacks.com ✨ Right now they’re offering free shipping- woahooo! #perfectathome

Happy birthday to this little boy! Can’t believe

Happy birthday to this little boy! Can’t believe Leo is 5 today 🐶 I don’t know what I would have done without him the last 5 years through all of my ups and downs. He’s been the only one by my side through it all- from career changes, to breakups, and loosing my dad. He brings so much joy and happiness to my life 💓 Happy birthday Leo!

I’ve been taking Renew Life Ultimate Flora Women

I’ve been taking Renew Life Ultimate Flora Women’s Care Probiotics for several weeks now and my stomach feels 10x better and my stress levels have been better controlled. 🙌🏻 I’ve mentioned on Instagram before how my goal for this year was to feel better from the inside out and I can honestly say I have been. Between working full time at the hospital, trying to keep up with my social media obligations, maintaining my fitness routine, and taking care of Leo, I’ve been extra busy. It’s been important for me to support my immune system during this crazy busy time with the help of Renew Life Ultimate Flora Women’s Care Probiotics. I tend to get super overwhelmed and stressed when I’m busy trying to juggle a million things, which affects my both mental and physical health. That’s why I left working at the hospital a few years ago- I was feeling run down. This time around I feel like my my stress is better under control and my stomach isn’t a mess. I’m so glad I’ve implemented Renew Life Ultimate Flora Women’s Care Probiotics into my routine to help support my immune system and gut health during this busy time ✨ #renewlife #ad @renewlife

Dreaming of my next vacation when we’re out of quarantine☀️🌊 Where do you guys want to go next?! Bali is still on my list and I want to head home and go to the cape with my family ✨ #becksliveshealthy

I’ve been going back and forth whether to chat m

I’ve been going back and forth whether to chat more about nursing in this space. But you know what this has been a major part of my life the past month so I decided why not share more?! Going back to work was a huge transition for me. Not only did I decide to return to the hospital after working mostly from home the last 2 years, but I decided to return during a pandemic. As travel nurses we’re the first ones paired with the COVID patients, and I honestly don’t mind at all because it’s what I signed up for, but over the last two weeks or so I’ve found myself more and more anxious taking on this role and really tired. Because of this, it’s really important for me to dedicate some of my time on my days at home to self care. I’ve been prioritizing my workouts, FaceTiming with my family, taking the dogs for a walk in my neighborhood and at the beach, and relaxing on the couch at night re- watching Friday Night Lights. I’ve also been trying to chat more with nursing friends because they’re really the only ones who can relate to how I’m feeling right now. All of my nursing friends- what’s been helping you through this time?! ✨#becksliveshealthy

Kickin’ today off with a little discussion on probiotics and why I’ve implemented them into my morning routine! #ad Did you guys know that at least 70% of our immune system is located in our gut? The good bacteria (probiotics) helps support our bodies to keep us feeling good and healthy. Unfortunately things like stress and even a change in our routine can upset our internal balance, which is why taking Renew Life Ultimate Flora Women’s Care Probiotics can help increase the good bacteria located in our gut! .
.
.
Back in the winter my stress levels were extremely high and honestly my digestion was a mess. I constantly felt bloated and gross. I decided it was time to take charge of my own health. I started focusing on my nutrition by meal prepping and making better choices. I also recently started taking Renew Life Ultimate Flora Women’s Care Probiotic every morning to help provide support for my GI tract and immune system. As I transition back to nursing full time over the next few weeks to help during this difficult time, it’s going to be extra important to support my immune system with the help of Renew Life Probiotics. I would love to know, do you take probiotics? ✨ #renewlife @renewlife

GREEK PASTA SALAD- finally sharing my recipe with

GREEK PASTA SALAD- finally sharing my recipe with you guys! I wouldn’t even call this a recipe because I don’t have exact measurements - but I do have the ingredients 🙌🏻 I’ve been obsessed with this meal for the past few weeks and have been living off pasta during quarantine. I’m so sick of the kitchen and meal prepping so meals like this make me happy because they’re so easy to throw together. I’m TOO busy to be creative in the kitchen right now so I love that this comes together in no time! 🍅🥒.
.
.
GREEK PASTA SALAD- @eatbanza rotini pasta, halved cherry tomatoes, cucumbers, red onion, salt/ pepper, shredded chicken (2 packages of chicken breasts cooked on high for 4 hours with salt and pepper- that’s it. I always prep my shredded chicken at the beginning of the week prior to making this dish), feta, and Greek dressing. Cook the pasta and chicken, then toss it all together and enjoy!🍃 #becksliveshealthy #mealprep #healthyrecipes #easydinner

The beaches are back open and I couldn’t be more

The beaches are back open and I couldn’t be more excited! ☀️ Happy Friday everyone!

Lately I’ve been struggling with this space a bi

Lately I’ve been struggling with this space a bit. One of the biggest reasons I went back to the hospital was to get out of the house and off my phone. I love connecting with everyone on here and I’m truly so grateful for all the wonderful friendships and connections I’ve made, but I think I’m a little burnt out. After having the last two days off I wanted to create new content for you guys and I struggled with what to even do. I didn’t feel like making up workouts or writing up posts about self care or quarantine because that’s all been done- actually overdone. So I decided to stop being so hard on myself and took a nap instead. New ideas for content will come. Instagram isn’t going anywhere anytime soon. And maybe posts like this will end up being more valuable to all of you anyways. So thank you all for being there through my story rants and being supportive of everything I share in this space- it truly means a lot 💓 #becksliveshealthy

My tips for juggling a busy schedule 🗓 — Over

My tips for juggling a busy schedule 🗓 — Over the last few weeks I feel like I’ve gone from 0-100. I went from working mostly from home for the last 2 years to working 4 - 12 hour nursing shifts a week in addition to my blog and Instagram work. I’m definitely not complaining- I feel very lucky to have two jobs right now but wow am I tired and a little stressed. So how am i juggling everything?! 😴.
1. On my days off from the hospital- I sit down and make a list, then identify my top priorities. What absolutely needs to get done for the day?! And what can wait if it has to? I always make sure to add my workouts, walk with the dogs, and FaceTime with my family to the list because those are important too 🙌🏻
2. I make time to prioritize myself. On my days off from the hospital I make sure I give myself time to sit and enjoy my coffee in the morning and then time workout. I always feel best starting my morning off with exercise, my motivation usually starts to dip after 10am 💪🏻
3. Use a calendar! I didnt realize how important it was for me to use a calendar until recently. Sometimes I forget if I have an appointment or meeting set up so using google calendar has been a good reminder for me! 🙌🏻
4. Give myself some grace!! 💓 I’ve had a lot of moments of doubt lately- can I do all of this? Especially when it comes to nursing- I’ve always been really hard on myself and never felt good enough. But my mentality this time around has been to just do the best I can with whatever I’m doing. And if I need a nap in the middle of my day at home then i take it because it’s my body telling me to slowwwww downnnnnnn! Do you guys have any tips?!! ✨ #becksliveshealthy
