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!

Have you tried any of these? 💚💋🧴 Have you tried any of these? 💚💋🧴
Three Summers ago my family and I came to Chicago Three Summers ago my family and I came to Chicago and there wasn't so much as a matcha cafe in sight. Now, so much matcha, so little time. Swipe through for my thoughts in each caption. 💚💋🍵

The cafe itself had the cutest decor. The matcha had no flavor and all I could taste was the almond milk. 

Refreshing and not too sweet. The blueberry lemonade was the overarching flavor followed by the more bitter matcha. Perfect balance. 

Just a strawberry matcha. Nothing special and not the best I've had. 

This was an authentic Japanese spot with a premium matcha experience. They hand whisk it in front of you  and explain how they make it. I picked up a few tips. The matcha was authentic and rich. Only oat and whole milk options. 

Hand whisking and explaining the process in detail. 

Not a huge fan on oat milk in matcha because I think it overpowers the flavor. Overall, this was the most authentic like you'd get in Japan. 

Tbh, this was a basic coffee shop matcha but I loved the coffee shop itself. I made the mistake of agreeing that the syrup which was a sweetener. I don't like sweetened matcha so that knocked a star off. 

The most underwhelming of all. Drinkable but basic. Not bad, but I had too many other really good ones to measure against. 

This place has it all. The vibe, tbe energy, the neighborhood, the creative drinks, the community and a nice staff. 

This was the most delicious matcha I would give this place 1000 stars if I could. 

The place was bustling but they kept it moving and the staff was friendly despite the crowds and heavy drink orders. 

An authentic matcha experience with a modern edge. Seriously the best matcha and experience I've had at a matcha cafe.
Experimenting with @iliabeauty newest products. I Experimenting with @iliabeauty newest products. I love they they're clean, sustainable (the pencils are made from coffee grounds) and  that they double as skincare. Everything is linked in my @shop.ltk (in bio and in stories) 💚💋👁️
