This is my absolute favorite breakfast!
Being away at college makes cooking really inconvenient sometimes. Luckily my building is right across the street from a Subway filled with tons of healthy options. When my friend suggested a sunrise melt and I tried it, it was absolutely DELICIOUS. Of course nothing can compare to a home-cooked meal but this melt is a wonderful way to start any morning. I comes with two slices of turkey, one slice of ham, and 2 pieces of bacon (let’s face it - bacon makes everything infinitely better) and a choice of either regular egg or egg whites. I always get mine with egg whites and only add spinach but the great thing about Subway is how easy it is to add different veggies.
One of the best parts besides the great taste? It’s 470 calories! Yep, you read that right. A standard 6 inch is 470 calories and honestly, a 6 inch sunrise melt can keep you full for a while. It’s also really well-priced, at least at my Subway. A combo which brings the sandwich and a choice of coffee or a water is only 3 bucks which is college budget friendly!
A quick, easy, cheap, and healthy breakfast. What more could you ask for? :)

In 2012, I ran my first 5K! Super cold and really hilly especially for a Florida girl like me but I’m proud I went through with it :) I definitely want to run a few more this year.
What are some of your fitness goals for the new year? I’d love to hear!

Check out this awesome running blog!

This is the first summer I can say I’m actually proud of my body :) I haven’t weighed myself in months but I feel great and that’s all I can ask for!

Guess who’s back..

… Again! Haha

SORRY FOR THE UNANNOUNCED HIATUS. I kind of lost focus with the blog over the summer but with sophomore year starting in just a week, I really want to get back into being accountable and starting up college fitness tips again :)

This was over Spring Break! There’s nothing like running/finishing a run on the beach while the sun is rising :)

I’M BACK!

Wow things are different! On Tumblr and in life haha. It’s crazy that so many of you didn’t unfollow me and still found something useful on my blog - thank you! :)

The last 40 days have been truly AMAZING and I can talk about it so much more to keep things brief I’ll just bullet it into a couple categories. I’ve gotten healthier …

Spiritually - connecting with your beliefs/religion is a beautiful experience! My faith has grown so much stronger and I’m so thankful for that. Yesterday for Easter service, Hebrews 11:40 stuck out to me: “God had planned something better for us so that only together with us they would be made perfect” I believe my goals, fitness related and not, will be even sweeter when they’re accomplished with Him by my side :)
Mentally - it’s SO much easier to just be happy! I started keeping a small grateful journal and I write down 5 things I’m grateful for each and every day. The things can be small, like having a nice cup of tea when it’s cold, to a larger/general thing, like family. Nobody is worth you being upset, not even yourself! Things aren’t always how we’d like them to be but there’s always something to smile about :)
Physically - I haven’t weighed myself (I will soon!) but I don’t think I’ve lost a significant amount of weight but I feel so much healthier. I used to be unable to go a mile without wanting to die and now I can go for 3 miles just to break a good sweat! I’m focusing on weight training and getting stronger for the summer :)

What have you guys all been up to?? I’ll be slowly getting back into the swing of things but I’d love to have you guys fill up my ask!
