    Way to go girl! Keep up the good work!

    I’ve been struggling working night shift 7p-7a (oh the life of a nurse) and basically crash the minute I get home from work. I’ve really noticed a change in my workouts since I started to do the wellness challenge. Before I would just sleep away the days I was working, but now I am committed to waking up an extra 30 minutes earlier and doing a workout. My friend sent me the Kayla Itsines BBG workouts and they have seriously been amazing! Also I’ve been loving the at home Yoga with Adriene on Youtube.

    I’ve also set up a designated workout area in my living room and just have the bare minimum like you. Yoga mat, resistance bands, and 8lb. dumb bells. It’s amazing what just these products can do. I also try to incorporate at least 2 days of cardio-3 miles minimum. I set a goal for myself that I want to train for a marathon in September. I need to start getting a little more serious on the running.

    I’ve also been meal prepping more lately-which has for one made work days SO much easier for me, but I’ve also enjoyed it mentally. I love cooking clean, healthy meals for myself-I get such satisfaction. I recently tried a new recipe for Keto Fat Bombs.

    Glad we both have been holding ourselves accountable throughout this journey.

    I don’t take probiotics but I did up my intake of water this week. Thank you for the reminder.
    Your post today was inspiring. I am currently doing two a day Physical Therapy 30 minute routines and although they are very boring, I am seeing results.

    At home workouts have become such a lifesaver for me due to convenience. I have become obsessed with Aaptiv’s workouts which you can really do anywhere.

    This definitely made me want to invest in a foam roller and resistance bands!

    I love working out at home! For me it’s usually an add on to another workout (15 min. ab video after a run) but when I just cannot convince myself to leave the house for a run or jump on my bike (my husband kindly set it up on a trainer for me) it’s so nice to have an indoor option.

    My two favs are blogilates and popsugar on youtube! There’s so much great stuff out there!

    I actually met my water intake goal last week! Yesterday was a struggle but I’m going to try again today for it.

    I finally signed up for the gym. The only place for at home work outs in our tiny cottage is the kitchen. Our house is so old I’m scared I’ll fall through the floor haha. I do my foam rolling at home though and it basically makes me cry it hurts so good. I am excited to be back on the gym grind though. I follow an online fitness program (with a few modifications) and it’s been working so far!
    I totally agree with you on good workout clothes. Worth every penny!

    I think I want to add more resistance band training into my routine now. You’ve inspired me!

    Omg well done babe! You’ve done such a good job. I think I need to do some more workouts at home like HITT and strength training and this is inspiring me to do just that!

      I’ve heard about HIIT, I definitely need to try that! Thanks for the rec. xx

    I always feel like my at home workouts weren’t half as good as my workouts at the gym, which made me not bother with them anymore. I am definitely going to give the at home workout another go, I think I just need to find a better routine and plan out the exercises a head of time! Thanks for the fitness inspo!

    I can’t really work out much because of health issues (I wish I could! *tears*) but I have to agree with the foam roller. I spend a lot of time sitting and resting and a foam roller is a lifesaver! My knees get really bad and I use them to break up the scar tissue in my legs so my legs are in top shape.

      Oh I’m sorry to hear that Mary, that must be tough. But totally agree the foam roller is a life saver. xx

    The align pants from Lululemon are my favorites as well but please tell me I’m not they only who has a problem with them pilling horribly — even after following the care instructions exactly. One pair was so bad I took them back to Lululemon and they gave me a new pair. Anyone have care tips?

    1. Jessica

      You’re not the only one who has said that. I haven’t had that issue but others have asked me the same thing. I don’t do anything special to wash them either. Maybe different colors? I don’t know so weird.

    I bought a Yeti yoga mat after reading this post and I could not be more pumped about it. I don’t get excited about this stuff but MAN I am in love. Its very thick and so cute. I literally can’t wait to use it.

      OMG so good right?! I legit only bought it because I loved the cactus print and then was very pleasantly surprised by how cushy it is. So glad you like it!
