New Year, New Me


Every January 1st I hear the same statement: “New Year, New Me!”  But after making a few New Years resolutions and slowly forgetting about them or just being unable to commit to any of them, a month or two later we say “Oh well, this just wasn't my year, I’ll try again next year.”

I’ll let you in on a little secret.  A “new you” requires one simple thing: change.   A “new you” does not happen because you write up a list of goals.   A “new you” requires action. It requires commitment and a desire to change.  If you want to eat healthy, stop buying unhealthy food.  If you want to get in shape, sign up for a gym membership and schedule in a specific time to go every week.  Change isn’t just good intentions and a hope that time will magically improve your life or situation. Change is action.  It is choosing to take the little steps needed to achieve the goals you actually want.   I’ll give you another hint.  You don’t have to wait until January 1st to begin to be the “new you.”   You can start new any given day. Didn't make it to they gym? Try again tomorrow. Did you eat ice cream for dinner instead of salad like you planned? It happens. Don't beat yourself up and try again the next day.   Change can happen any day of the year and it simply begins with you.

Gym Shark Review

Gym Shark is one of my new favorite workout brands that I am so excited to write about. I’ve always been a fan of Victoria’s Secret leggings, but found that they were not so great for working out or my budget.  I began hearing about the Gym Shark leggings and seeing people wearing them at the gym where I work, so I figured I’d give them a try.    I ordered a pair of the Fit leggings, which are all black with a black waistband. I was expecting the material of these leggings to be thicker like workout leggings usually are, but they are actually very breathable and thin but not see through. I love how these legging have a sticky lining on the waistband because this means they actually stay up while I run or lift. This is also helpful for holding my phone while I do lunges, so I can still listen to music. (the most important part of my workout routine.) The best part of these leggings I personally think is how they don’t have a crotch inseam, which i...

2020 Feburary Obsessions

Hi guys, welcome back to my blog! Today I just thought I'd share all my favorites from the month of February! I've been discovering a ton of new items lately, and just wanted to share what I've been loving. I will have everything linked so you can check it out yourself, as well! TV Show: Castle Rock First, I want to mention the tv show castle rock. I'm a huge fan of horror movies but it's nice to take a break and watch a tv show when you don't have time for an entire movie. My boyfriend and I have been loving this show, it's about a small town and the murders that have happened there. I definitely recommend if you love thrillers! Behind Closed Doors book Next on the list, is the book Behind Closed Doors. Again, I'm clearly a fan of thrillers so this a great book to read if you want something that is going to creep you out. I am a fast reader so it normally takes me about a week to read a book, but this one was SO good I finished it...

Starting a Fitness Routine

With the start of Fall comes a new school year and new routines. I work at a gym, and typically this time of year we get a lot of new members wanting to start their fitness journey. We all have been there and get ourselves all hyped up for a week… and then we end up losing our fitness streak. Then we must start over, back to square one. I'm here to share some tips on how to KEEP that streak going and ways to stay motivated!   Do what works for your schedule The number one mistake that people tend to make is plan to workout hard 7 days a week only to burn out after day 2 and eventually give up. If you work a full-time job or are in school, realistically you will not have the time to workout every single day. Simply take a look at your schedule and pick the days that work best for you, even if it's just twice a week, that's better than not going at all! Plan it out When you have no idea what you are going to do at the gym, or have no idea how to use any equipmen...
