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.

I was in the West Village for an event and hadn't had my matcha fix yet. I passed Aoko and made a mental note. 

Then I proceeded to pass many more matcha cafes with long lines. 

Aoko didn't have a line and it seemed authentic to me. Also, I recalled hearing good things. 

The vibe was a little sterile. You order off a screen and there's a huge selection of matcha drinks and ice cream. Then wait for your number to be called. 

I chose the Coconut Matcha Cloud. There was no description on the screen and the actual drink looked nothing like the photo. 

It was a cloud of whipped matcha floating on top of coconut water with tapioca-like shapes on the bottom. 

My expectations were low. But I ended up being pleasantly surprised. Once the whipped matcha mixed with the coconut water, it was incredibly creamy and I could tell the matcha was high quality. 8.5/10. I'll be back to try the regular matcha latte. 💚💋🍵

This is a new-to-me boutique jewelry brand. The pieces are stunning, hold meaningful affirmations and are just incredibly wearable.

I even got to meet the Founder @jennlow.wco who explained the meaning and inspiration behind the pieces.

There were so many beautiful pieces to layer and try on. I chose the Heart Locket Necklace to take home.

Inside it says "follow your heart" and it can be worn open or closed though I like it opened best.

I was also eyeing the You are Magic Medallion Locket.

So I bought that too!

Such a fun morning in the West Village! I can't wait to wear my new jewelry! 💚💋🪎 #wcocommunity
There is so much beauty and nature in and around N There is so much beauty and nature in and around NYC and so much to see and do. We've been taking advantage of the perfect weather and venturing beyond our neighborhood with Valentina to show her all this incredible city has to offer. Last weekend was @metcloisters and @forttryonpark , which brought me back to 2007 in the city when I would circumnavigate Manhattan on my bike starting at the East River down to the The Battery and up the Hudson River to The Cloisters and Fort Tryon Park then back down the East River through Harlem- a 30 mile round trip. We enjoyed a long walk and explored the stunning gardens inside the park before perusing the museum. The perfect way to spend a holiday Monday. 💚💋🏰
