Hello Reader, ✉️ Monday Momentum #41 Heya Fit Travel Tribe,Well, it's already Wednesday!! Yikes! Apologies for the late edition. Monday night hostel wifi was out of commission and yesterday was a huge travel day. Regardless... Here’s something I’ve been thinking about a lot lately: ⚽🏊♀️IDENTITY & FITNESS🏈🎾 If you were an athlete in high school or college, you probably remember what it felt like when being active was simply part of your identity. You had a schedule, practices, games, workouts,...

You learn what schedule works for you, your muscles adjust, and you learn how to fuel your body with nutrition to support your training. Inevitably, things in life happen that might stall your progress. Once you get a reprieve, it's back...

ACCEPTING MAINTENANCE MODE One of the hardest parts of staying fit while traveling isn't finding a gym or squeezing in a workout. 👉It's re-working your expectations. At home, it's easy (easier) to be in growth mode. You have your routine, your equipment, your favorite grocery store, your meal prep containers, and a schedule that supports progress....

Hello Reader, ✉️ Monday Momentum #38 Heya Fit Travel Tribe,Today’s Monday Momentum is brought to you by…laundry day (or lack thereof)... 😅Re-wearing lightly sweaty clothes 😅 You ever do that? When you’re traveling and don’t really have enough fitness gear for life + workouts + “I might sweat today, I might not” uncertainty… Suddenly your entire workout decision starts to hinge on things like: 👉 “Can I get away with wearing this one more time?”👉 “Is this yoga set still a little damp?”👉 “If I...

Hello Reader, ✉️ Monday Momentum #37 Heya Fit Travel Tribe,Today...well....today isn't exactly Monday. If anything, that note feeds the theme. Because today we’re talking about slowing down. ⏰ HAPPY TUESDAY BTW ⏰ And I say that for a few reasons... First off, it's Tuesday and not Monday. This edition is "late!" I wrote most of this last night while laying on a heating pad because my QL muscle decided to make itself very known. Nothing catastrophic. Just...loud enough to pay attention to. What...

Hello Reader, ✉️ Monday Momentum #36 Heya Fit Travel Tribe,Today’s Monday Momentum is brought to you by… RACE DAY!!!! Whether you're a self-identified "runner" or running a race is on your bucket list...have you ever thought about taking it to a global location? This question popped into my head because I just signed up for a half marathon. In Sofia.... My NEW home.... But still, it got me thinking about my last half marathon - in Sarajevo (see below). Looking overly serious in my Sarajevo...

I am SO over decision fatigue right now! I hate to sound like a broken record, but.... Between: travel logistics paperwork life admin constant movement …it’s been the most mentally draining stretch of the year.

Hello Reader, ✉️ Monday Momentum #34 Heya Fit Travel Tribe,Today’s Monday Momentum is brought to you by the quiet benefit of... 🥦Packing Your Groceries🍞 Wait...like in a suitcase? YES!!! I literally just did this for multiple reasons. Not a whole fridge. Just the things I know I’ll use every day. Especially since I took a bus (not a plane) and I'll remain in the same destination with a kitchen for 2 weeks. 👉Before leaving on a trip, when it makes sense, I buy these in bulk at home, portion...

Hello Reader, ✉️ Monday Momentum #33 Heya Fit Travel Tribe,The topic for today's Monday Momentum is a rationale I've thought about a lot in recent travels… The answer to: "Why did you eat that?" 🍴😋"Because it was there." 😋🍴 Sometimes we finish food on our plate simply because it exists. Not because we are starving.Not because it was life-changing.Not because we'd fly across the world for it again. But because… it was still on the plate. And we already paid for it. On my recent trip to...

Hello Reader, ✉️ Monday Momentum #32 Heya Fit Travel Tribe,Today’s Monday Momentum is brought to you by perfect conditions that may NEVER show up! 💯 Perfectionism is a bad habit 💯 Let me call myself out for a second... I’ve been noticing a sneaky pattern - one I know I’m not alone in. It finally hit me during my last week in Morocco. Truth be told, I frustratingly noticed this back in Sofia in the fall. It goes something like this: “I’ll work out after one more email - I'm in a groove.”“Eh…...
