Staying Motivated in Fitness without a Goal Race

09/13/15

staying motivated in fitness - running the streets of NYC - Where I Need to Be

This post is sponsored by Wellcoin. All opinions are my own. 

Whether we’re ready for it or not, Fall is here and along with apple picking and pumpkins, I associate fall with marathons. Last year I trained for the New York City Marathon which kept me staying motivated in fitness and focused on a  goal even as the weather cooled down and the mornings stayed dark. But like I said in my training and racing update, I’m not running the marathon this year. 

Motivation comes in many forms, but for me it’s usually training for a goal race. Now that I’m not, I’ve had to find new ways to challenge myself for staying motivated in fitness without a goal race on the horizon.

Thank goodness for Wellcoin! 

Wellcoin is the world’s first health currency which keeps me on track with making healthy choices because the more of them I log – like workouts, healthy meals and even sleep, the more coins I accumulate. 

Those coins are valuable because I can use them to earn gifts like groceries from Whole Foods, meal delivery from Hello Fresh and fitness apparel from brands like PUMA and Reebok. 

Making healthy choices is a reward in and of itself, but Wellcoin makes it fun and interactive which is a definite added bonus. You can connect with your friends to keep each other accountable and challenged, plus, tag your friends to earn more coins.

If you haven’t joined Wellcoin yet, sign-up here to get started with 500 coins, follow me and start earning those coins!

I'm a morning person and since I became a mom and I'm a morning person and since I became a mom and entered perimenopause, evenings give me anxiety because sleep has become difficult for me. Small daily rituals are said to regulate your nervous system and for me, creating a skincare/wind-down ritual at night has transformed my evenings so now I look forward to them rather than dread them. 

I've linked what I can in my @shop.ltk LTK - check my bio and stories. The red dot on my forehead is a blemish my derm treated with a laser. It will disappear in a few days. 💚💋🧖🏻‍♀️

I've been to @jacksonhole twice and have exactly t I've been to @jacksonhole twice and have exactly two recommendations: 

Best restaurant: Corsa at @calderahouse for homemade pasta and spicy rigatoni that rivals carbone 

Best matcha: @overlookcoffeecompany for sustainability sourced coffee and smooth matcha. The owners are cool too. This is a well-kept secret because not even the mountain guide knew it was there. 

If you go, these are can't miss. Mountain towns are hit or miss and most everything is a miss, but the skiing and scenery make up for it. 💚💋🏔️
