Stepping into the New Year with Famous Footwear – How I Stay Active & Healthy

January 2, 2019

I am so excited to be stepping into the new year with Famous Footwear to share how I stay active and healthy. I am honestly not a big fan of new years resolutions. It seems like every time I set them, I fail and just end up feeling bad about myself. What works better for me is a regular routine of a healthy diet and active lifestyle.

Stepping into the New Year with Famous Footwear – How I Stay Active & Healthy

Find an activity that works for YOU – In my life as a working mom who also blogs on the side, there just isn’t really a great time for hitting the gym. Sure, I could go after Ivy Jean goes to sleep, but I am beat by that time. Or I could do it at home at the same time, but the same principle applies. What does work for me is taking walks with her on the days I am home, after work as a family when Russ gets home, or hitting the park. Believe me chasing her at the park is exercise! When I incorporate Ivy Jean into the exercise, we both enjoy it. We stop mid-walk and play somewhere usually. Oklahoma isn’t so cold in the winter that we cannot do this at all during the cold months though it is less frequent.
Have fun workout gear – Famous Footwear offers so many great women’s athletic shoes! I was really impressed with their selection. I had been wanting a black tennis shoe I could wear with everything. My regular pair had seen better days, so I selected this Nike Foundation pair, and I love how light it is while providing support. I hate spending too much money on workout clothes, but the reality is I do wear tennis shoes, leggings, and casual tops a lot. It is important to have good supportive shoes, and Famous Footwear offers great prices.
Plan your meals – Each week Russ and I look at our calendars, plan a meal to have at home, and schedule an online grocery pick-up. Thank goodness for grocery pick-ups! They save my life. Having (easy) meals planned saves me from last might more unhealthy choices. This allows me to feel like I have more freedom to indulge on the weekend.
