Healthy 2015, Week 1 and a New Workout!

Hi all,

It’s Rebekah here, finally posting to the blog after moving and settling in to a new apartment! It’s been a crazy week and I’m glad tomorrow is Friday. Here’s my update on how I have been doing with our #WinterWonderWellness goals…

• Drinking 6-8 glasses of water daily: I have been drinking 5-6 glasses of water a day and have been good about staying hydrated while at work. I am planning on buying a Brita this weekend to help me drink more water in the evening once I get home and get closer to the goal of 8 glasses.
• 4 work outs per week: If you count moving this weekend as a workout (which I do…my apartment was NOT close to the elevator and this weekend involved carrying too many boxes down a long hallway!), I’m on track to get in 4 work outs this week. One of the perks of my new apartment building is that is has a fitness center downstairs. I’ve already hit the gym once this week when insomnia kicked in, but the goal is to transition to getting a workout in in the morning before work. I’ll keep you updated on how that goes!
• Trying a new workout per month: In addition to my typical cardio workout on the elliptical, I’ve decided to ad in a 30 day workout that one of my friends posted on Instagram (originally from thoughtsandpavement.com). So far, so good!

• Try a new recipe or food each week.  I haven’t been good about trying new recipes this week, but there is plenty of time for cooking this weekend. Check back next week to see what I decide to make  🙂

That’s all for me this week. I would love to hear from anyone who has recommendations for a 30-day challenge (abs, squats, arms, etc) for the month of February! Don’t forget to root for the Buckeyes on Monday and check back early next week for another update from Amy.

Happy (almost) Friday!
