Monday Motivation #700by7

Monday, March 7, 2016

Hi friends! I’m teaming up with Erin from Living in Yellow to complete 700 minutes of exercise by April 7. And bonus! Anyone who logs 700 minutes by the 7th will be entered in a contest to win $100 cash. I feel like my physical activity has been lacking (nonexistent) and I haven’t been mindful of my diet lately, so this is the perfect reset. And HELLO, swimsuit season is right around the corner here in Arizona.

A couple weekends ago, my husband and I were watching Shark Tank (one of my fav shows) and the creators of Sworkit were featured. I was hooked (pun intended) immediately. Sworkit is a free app (you can upgrade for $) but so far the free version does everything I could hope for. Basically, you pick if you want a strength, cardio, yoga, or stretching routine (or you can do a combo of all 4) and then choose the time you want the workout to last for (5-60 mins). I have been getting up when my husband does for work (5AM) and completing a 20 minute Sworkit before I get ready. Sometimes it’s kind of painful and hitting snooze sounds a lot better, but I never regret it and it gives me a little burst of energy to make it through my busy day.

After work, since the weather has gotten so nice, Sofia and I go for a 30 minute run/walk around the neighborhood. I load up her stroller with puffs and a bottle of juice, and she is pretty content with that and the scenery (because girlfriend is not the biggest fan of her stroller). Bonus amusement points if we pass any woof-woofs (dogs).

The days I exercise and eat (mostly) healthy, I feel SO much better. I have more energy, I am more productive, and overall am just a more pleasant person. I don’t like the idea of “dieting” I think it’s more important to live a healthy lifestyle, and I would love to share more on what's worked for me and some of my favorite foods/meals. But that’s my plan amigos, and I hope you join me too! 


Happy Monday!
