Happy Tuesday! It’s been a while since I’ve shared a workout on my feed so here’s a lower body workout for ya! I received a few questions the other day about what my workout schedule looks like now. My priority has been strength training with some cardio mixed in 💪🏻 Even though I miss my morning beach runs, it’s been nice not having to worry about waking up first thing and getting my runs in. Instead I’ve just been focusing on getting to the gym. Right now I’m sticking to 2 lower body workouts/ week! 💥 Ok let’s get to the workout: .
.
CIRCUIT 4-5 rounds—
1. Barbell step ups 10 each
2. Single leg pick ups 10 each
3. Hex bar squats 10
4. Hex bar RDLs 10
5. Stability ball leg curls 15
6. Low box power steps 10 each
Let me know if you give it a try! 💛👊🏻 What does your workout routine look like right now?! ✨ @shiftsouthbay #becksliveshealthy #legday

I’ve been putting lots of thought into next year and what it looks like. I’ve been really wanting to get back into running and train for another marathon but things are up in the air because of my knee. I also want to work on another project but I’m not sure what that looks like that right now. I would love to find a job in the nursing field again, but I still don’t know what I want to do. So much uncertainty. It brings me a lot of anxiety— but there’s no rush either. I’m not on a timeline. I don’t have to have it figured out by January 1st. So for now I’ll keep brainstorming. I’ll figure it out eventually💓💓

Today on the blog I’m sharing how to create a stunning and festive holiday fruit cheese board! 😋🎄❤️ I teamed up with @daiyafoods to create a plant based cheese board using their dairy-free farmhouse blocks along with a variety of spreads, fruit, nuts, & crackers! It was so fun to assemble, and the best part of making a cheese board, there’s no cooking involved! They’re so easy to create and make a beautiful centerpiece for everyone to gather around and enjoy this holiday season. Head to my blog now, link is below! ✨ #daiyafoods #plantbased #madefromplants #dairyfree #daiyapartner #ad .

When do you guys feel your best?! I don’t really talk about it much on here but I have a lot of self confidence issues and insecurities. I don’t really bring it up because i try to keep a positive attitude in this space. So how do i combat these issues?! Well i focus on taking care of myself — eating healthy, working out, and getting enough sleep. Crushing a 10 mile run also makes me feel 1000x better about myself— not because I just burned a ton of calories, but because i got to spend the morning by the beach logging all the miles and having quiet time to myself 🏃🏻‍♀️ One of my goals for this past year was to work on gaining more confidence and honestly it just got worse over this year. But we only have one month left of 2019 and I really want to prioritize things that make me happy and make me feel my best in 2020 💓 #becksliveshealthy

One of my goals has been to add more self- care in the form of yoga into my routine so today, I finally took a half day for myself and got out there for a yoga flow! #sponsored I’ve been really wanting to substitute one day of yoga for strength training each week to switch things up with my training and routine! 💓.
.
.
I’ve teamed up with @nakedjuice to
participate in their #HoweverYouHealthy Half Day campaign, created to celebrate people who are taking steps to achieve their health and wellness goals, no matter how big or small, and to empower them to take an actual Half Day for themselves to take that first small step.
.
.
Right now, with everything going on in my life,my body, and mind I could use a little bit of yoga 🙏🏻 My goal is to continue making time for it to help with my hip flexibility and core strength, and to also help with my breathing. Between knee pain from running the last few months and increased anxiety - I know that making time for yoga will help with these issues!🙌🏻.
.
.
@nakedjuice believes there is more than one way to be healthy- so I’m showing you my way! But how am I going to stick to my goal of adding yoga into my routine?! 👇🏻.
.
.
⁃ Sign up for a yoga class or schedule some time at home to do some yoga - once I’m signed up or it’s written down in my planner I’m more likely to stick to my schedule and go!
- Find a friend to go with me to help keep me accountable.
⁃ Start with one yoga session a week– by starting with one I won’t feel as overwhelmed. Eventually maybe I can carve out time for a few classes a week
⁃ Have a nutritious breakfast waiting for me after I’m done! @NakedJuice Mighty Mango is a yummy blend of mango, oranges, apples and more and is easy to take with me on-the-go! I love the tropical mango flavor - it’s so refreshing to have after a workout! 🥭.
.
.
Now it’s your turn! What’s something that you have wanted to carve out a little time for? It doesn’t have to be anything big - it can be something small like taking a walk or taking a hot bath to relax after a long day! Let me know how you spent your
#HoweverYouHealthy Half Day! ✨

Busy weekend over here! I haven’t snapped any photos other than this yogurt parfait that I had for breakfast yesterday morning. I went on a little coffee and breakfast date with Leo at one of our favorite spots in Hermosa. Lately I’ve been having major fruit and granola yogurt bowl cravings- so that’s what I ordered and it hit the spot 💯 It’s funny, I used to fear yogurt bowls because they had “too many carbs” and my macros didn’t allow them. Now I enjoy them to the fullest because they’re just too good to pass up! What’s everyone up to today?! ✨#becksliveshealthy

Last week I was lucky enough to team up with @beam & @coreology to host a workout event in Santa Monica at Coreology’s newest studio. I haven’t hosted a workout event in a while so it was fun to get a group together again for a workout! We kicked off the event on the treadmills for 25 minutes of intervals mixed with runs, sprints, and hills 🏃🏻‍♀️ We finished the workout on the Pilates reformer toning our upper bodies and core! 💪🏻 After the workout it was time to refuel with Beam products- @okyumla made vegan pumpkin bars with the crust made out of Beam’s CBD protein bars- they were SO good, I wish I snagged more than one, haha! 💯 The rest of my recap of the event is on my blog— link is below and in my stories! If you guys haven’t tried @beam products before— code “becky15” will give you 15% off online ✨ #beamcbd #ad .

I was having a conversation yesterday with someone about running a turkey trot. I’ve ran all these races in the past- yet I’ve never participated in a turkey trot! As a nurse I used to work most Thanksgivings so I didn’t have the opportunity to race. I’ve woken up early and ran my own turkey trot before but have never officially crossed a finish line on thanksgiving! Anyways- whose racing tomorrow?! Or lacing up to log some miles before it’s turkey time?! 🏃🏻‍♀️.
.
.
Fun fact- thanksgiving is my favorite food holiday! I love it so much that when i lived back home my mom was sweet enough to cook me a turkey dinner every year for my bday in February, haha!! I bet she’s glad she doesn’t have to do that anymore 🤣 #becksliveshealthy

After being sick all weekend I started thinking how grateful I am for my health. Lately I’ve really been lacking a lot of motivation to go workout- but I always make it to the gym because I have goals and it’s a part of my morning routine. After taking the last few days off because my headaches and nausea were so bad I’m excited to get back in there and work hard again. I know I’m going to have to ease back into it but being sick definitely motivated me to work hard again to reach my goals 👊🏻.
.
.
One thing I’ve been wanting to bring up is I’ve been pretty down about myself this year- lacking a lot of body confidence and it’s just gotten worse and worse over the last few months. It’s hard to even admit that in this space because for the most part everyone preaches body positivity, but I havent had a positive body image for months, so it’s something i can’t preach. This is something I’m trying to work on, but I know it’s going to take time.
.
.
Anyways, I’m excited to get back in the gym today and have a good week of workouts 💪🏻 #becksliveshealthy

So what’s my morning running routine when I’m training for a race?! It’s pretty much been the same for the last couple of years with a few new things added in!! I usually wake up an hour and 1/2 before my run (it’s usually still dark out then, haha). I make my coffee and either enjoy a protein bar or piece of toast with peanut butter, cinnamon, and a banana! 🍌 I let my food digest a little then it’s time to get ready to head out the door! After I change and slip on my @UArunning HOVR running shoes I do some band work to wake up my glutes and a dynamic stretching warmup to increase blood flow and range of motion to my legs! Then I grab my watch, sunglasses, and headphones and head out the door to the strand! 🏃🏻‍♀️☀️ Whether I’m going for a long 10 miler or an easy 4 miler, my @uarunning HOVR shoes help power me through 👟👊🏻 They’re super comfortable and plush— plus they’re really cute! I love wearing fun, bright running shoes! After I’m done running it’s time to stretch and then it’s home to refuel!!💪🏻 What does your running routine look like?! ✨ #UAHOVR @underarmour #ad

Happy Tuesday!! Today on the blog I’m talking about all things meal prep! Ive always been a huge fan of meal prep. When I was working full time as a registered nurse it saved a lot of time and energy on my work days. It also kept me on track. I knew if I didn’t have my dinner prepped after a long shift, I would come home and binge on anything I could find in the house. It also saved me a lot of money at work. A majority of the nurses ordered their lunches or bought food in the cafeteria. I preferred to just bring my own food and splurge on a nice meal on one of my days off from work 🙌🏻 .
.

Today I’m sharing all things meal prep- from staples you should have in your kitchen to get started to the different ways you can prep for the week! Head to my blog now— link is below and in my stories! ✨ #becksliveshealthy .
