"Falling down is a part of life, getting back up is living."

Hello there! It has been a while since I've posted on here, and I have a lot to catch you up on! The new year has welcomed a new me and I am happier than ever! I joined a new gym, started a new semester at school, bought new clothes and new running shoes, finished decorating my newly designed room, started a new eating plan, and started a new training plan for my upcoming half-marathon in April. Keyword: NEW. Out with the old, in with the new!

I am SO excited for tomorrow with the kick-off of my 12-week training for the Nike Women's Half-Marathon in DC. Here are some of the things I've been doing so far to get ready:

Lunch! Crock-pot Buffalo Chicken lettuce wraps with greek yogurt cucumber feta dressing.

 Food prep for the week! I have a really busy schedule with classes all day, so I make everything on the weekend so I have everything ready to go all week.

Finally perfected my chocolate peanut butter protein shake!
1scoop PlantFusion protein
1 tbsp cacao powder
2 tbsp chocolate pb2
2 cups unsweetened almond milk
1 cup water
Shake and enjoy! I certainly do!

I am really looking forward to what the next 12 weeks will bring. I have never felt so empowered, or have been so committed to a workout/eating routine, and I can't wait to experience the transformation from start to finish. I don't have any real goal set in mind, but as long as I feel better about myself, and do better than I did the day before, I will be one happy runner girl.

Can't wait to update my progress next Sunday!

Oh yeah, happy super bowl Sunday! Is it time for chicken chili yet?
