Fitness has always been the one thing in my life that’s been a priority! I love pushing myself in the gym or running and getting stronger 💪🏻 Lately though I’ve been struggling to find motivation. But I’ve formed a routine and habit so I make time for some form of physical activity almost everyday. So what helps motivate me when I’m struggling?! 💫
*Making a new playlist 🎶 *Finding friends to help keep myself accountable 👯‍♀️
*Planning my workouts for the week ahead 📝
*If my budget allows- I’ll buy a new piece of workout clothes or shoes! 👟 If not, sometimes I go through my closet and find older pieces of clothes that I forgot about that I can wear to my next workout 💜
How do you guys stay motivated?!✨ #becksliveshealthy

Finally bringing some fall to my Instagram feed 🎃
Happy Sunday! What’s everyone been up to this weekend?! It’s gorgeous here! ☀️ Started the morning out early up in Palos Verdes for a hike with the girls and pups! It’s supposed to be 80 degrees and sunny today, so the beach and an acai bowl sound good! ✨ #becksliveshealthy

FUN FACT FRIDAY:
Dropping some fun facts about myself to kickstart the weekend✨
1. I’m the oldest of 4- Katie, Jaime, & Danny (Jaime and Danny are twins)
2. I’m a new Auntie (Hi Cohen- can’t wait to meet you 👶🏻)
3. I learned to say the alphabet backwards in kindergarten — and I actually think I say it better backwards than forwards now haha 🤣
4. Born and raised in Connecticut— but I’ve been in southern CA for 5 years, wow time flies!
5. I got Leo as an emotional support pet- my mom didn’t think it was a good idea to get him at first. And actually she was the last to know i was getting him. She didn’t think it would be smart to raise a lab puppy in a small one bedroom beach apartment while working 13 hour shifts. Now she thinks Leo’s the best thing that’s happened for me ☺️🐶, and I agree!
6. I was the varsity softball pitcher all 4 years of high school- miss Gilbert softball!
7. My 2 favorite places to travel- Australia and Cape Cod (so many special family memories)
8. I love spicy food- I put sriracha on everything 🌶
OK you’re turn! Tell me a fun fact about you! 💓 #becksliveshealthy

On busy mornings overnight oats is my favorite breakfast to have! I usually make them the night before so they’re ready to eat after my early morning workout 💪🏻 One of my favorite additions to overnight oats is @siggisdairy! It makes the oats so creamy! 🙌🏻 I also love that siggi’s is packed with protein, so I don’t need to add in any other protein sources post- workout! Lately my go- to overnight oats recipe has been peanut butter and jelly oats 💓
Peanut Butter & Jelly Overnight Oats:
1/2 cup rolled oats
1/4 cup strawberry @siggisdairy
1 tsp chia seeds
1/2 cup almond milk
1/2 cup diced strawberries
Drizzle of honey
Mix above ingredients together and place in the fridge overnight. Top with peanut butter, honey graham crackers, jelly, and berries in the morning 🍓 Enjoy! ✨ #dailysiggis #sponsored #partner

All my runner friends— what’s your favorite race?! I was thinking about this yesterday... I think I have 2 favorites. @lululemon Seawheeze will always be one of my favs 💯 Vancouver is just such a gorgeous place to run and @lululemon puts on a great race! @lamarathon will always have a special place in my heart too— it was my first marathon and training for that race got me through a really tough time in my life 🏃🏻‍♀️.

PUMPKIN PROTEIN WAFFLES 🍂I’ve been obsessed with this recipe lately guys! It’s so easy to make thanks to @kodiakcakes and finally got me out of my breakfast rut! I’ve been eating oatmeal almost everyday since January— there’s nothing wrong with oatmeal, it’s my fav, it was just time to switch things up! ✨
Recipe: 1/2 cup pumpkin flax @kodiakcakes mix, 1/4 cup pumpkin, dash cinnamon, 1 tbsp snickerdoodle protein, 2 tbsp egg whites, enough water to mix! Place on waffle iron and top with you favorite toppings 🍌 #becksliveshealthy

Another half in the books! Training for yesterday’s half was anything but easy. I dealt with knee pain on and off since the summer and actually had a few panic attacks while running. I wanted to give up on training, but I made a commitment and was going to follow through with it 👊🏻 The race didn’t go very well either, but I finished and that’s what matters. It’s a huge accomplishment no matter what time you cross the finish line in 🙌🏻.

I’m so grateful to have had the opportunity to represent @nuunhydration and follow “The READY, SET, PR” Training Plan. It made things easier for me, I didn’t have to sit down and put together a plan for myself. I could easily follow theirs and adjust as needed based on how my knee was feeling! I’ve been a huge fan of @nuunhydration products for years and honestly can’t think of a better company to partner with for a race 💯 More to come on the blog this week— I’ll put together a whole race recap 🏃🏻‍♀️ but for now time to focus on some other things until the new year 💪🏻✨ #nuunhydration #nuunlife #readysetPR #ad

It’s supposed to be 80 degrees in Hermosa today so i figured a fun beach photo was appropriate to post ☀️☀️ Haha! Even though it definitely does not feel like fall— I’m making pumpkin protein waffles on my stories today🍂 Happy Friday! #becksliveshealthy

It’s race week!!! I can’t believe it’s here! 🏃🏻‍♀️ I’m so excited to lace up my @UArunning HOVR Phantom/ SE running shoes this Sunday for my first race in 8 months! 👟 This training cycle hasn’t exactly gone as planned- on and off knee pain plus lots of anxiety while running. I even broke down a few times and had a couple of panic attacks- which I’ve never experienced before. Even though things have been far from perfect I’m still excited to get out there Sunday and give it everything I’ve got. I’ve faced so many challenges this year and I know I can push through another one this weekend! 👊🏻 I just want to focus on getting to the finish line with the help of my UA HOVR running shoes! Who else is racing this weekend?! ✨ #UAHOVR @underarmour

WELLNESS WEDNESDAY is here! 💫Today on the blog I’m opening up on why I decided to go to therapy. I almost didn’t hit publish on this blog post. I guess I didn’t feel ready to share but then this morning I thought to myself— what if I help one or two people by sharing?! ⭐️.
.
.
I also chat about a few resources to help you find the best therapist for you 💓 Head to the link below or in my stories to read my post now ✨ #becksliveshealthy

Today I’m sharing a new fall recipe- perfect to enjoy after your workout 💪🏻🍂 FALL COLLAGEN SMOOTHIE BOWL! It’s made with butternut squash, almond butter, Greek yogurt, banana, cinnamon, and @drinkorgain Grass Fed Pasture Raised Collagen Peptides! Orgain’s collagen is packed with 20 grams of collagen peptides and 18 grams of protein — which aides in muscle recovery and joint function! 👊🏻 It’s completely flavorless too, so it’s the perfect addition to smoothies 💯 I’m obsessed with all of the fall flavors right now- especially squash! You can also use sweet potato or pumpkin in this recipe as a substitution for squash! This recipe isn’t super sweet so feel free to add a drizzle of honey to sweeten it up! Enjoy! 🧡
FALL COLLAGEN SMOOTHIE BOWL:
1 cup frozen butternut squash
1 frozen banana
3/4 cup almond milk
1/2 cup vanilla greek yogurt
1 tbsp almond butter
1 tsp vanilla
1/2 tsp cinnamon
2 scoops @drinkorgain Collagen Peptides
Add all of the ingredients to a high powered blender and BLEND! Top with granola and almond butter ✨ #getpickywithyourprotein #drinkorgain #orgain #collagen #ad

ALL smiles because yesterday I ran 10 miles! If you guys have been following along- I got my mileage back up in August and was feeling great! Well the past few weeks have been a struggle, between panic attacks running, knee pain, only getting up to 6 miles on my weekend long runs, I didn’t know if I had it in me yesterday. I woke up not feeling good due to that time of the month 😬 and just nervous that I wouldn’t be able to get the miles in. I started to finally feel good about halfway through my run and even hopped in the MB 10k to run a few miles with them! It was super motivating and FUN! Finishing my long run yesterday definitely helped give me confidence going into next weekend’s half marathon! 💓 Who else got a long run in this weekend?! Congrats to everyone racing too! 🏃🏻‍♀️ #becksliveshealthy
