Hey friends! OK, so I feel like I’ve kinda made it an official thing on Instagram, but not really on the blog. I think I’ve mentioned it a few times in a couple posts, but I wanted to officially put it out there on here too! You might be thinking, Brighton, what the heck are you even talking about?! LOL. My walking challenge!! Let me give you some back story……
Since college, I’ve had an ‘all or nothing’ relationship with working out. Growing up I was super active (like most of us are) and I even cheered throughout college so movement was easy – something I just did. But as an adult, I feel like there’s this huge lack of motivation that comes with working out. And maybe it’s because of the pressure we start putting on it. It becomes…
Hey friends! I’m really excited about today’s post because, as the title says, this is a topic making me very happy right now. Want to know what it is? WALKING. Yep, it’s that simple. If you follow along on Insta Stories, then you know walking has always kind of been my thing, but lately, it’s been so much more for me. It’s not only a way to get in some…
Y’all know I’m all about easy-to-wear clothes that I can run around in. The key is finding pieces that check both the style box and the comfort box. Not gonna lie, I gravitate a lot toward the athleisure vibe when it comes to my day to day outfits. And I get lots of questions from y’all about what I’m wearing on those more casual days, so I thought it would be…
We are coming to the end of January (I know, CRAZY), so it feels like a good time to release my Quarter One playlist for Team BTD. If you’re new around here, each quarter I release a new playlist with all the songs I’m listening to throughout the quarter! If you’ve been following along for a bit, then you know that these playlists are about as random as it gets!…
Wanted to pop in to quickly share the BTD Q2 Playlist with y’all! I get a lot of questions about what I’m listening to while working or on my long Brighton walks, so this list is more catered to that. I’ll try to get better about sharing the songs I’m listening to daily on Insta Stories (or BTD DAILY), but for now, hope you love this playlist! If y’all have…
We all need motivational boosts, and especially this time of year, I know a lot of us are looking for those. Whether it’s an older photo of you or a picture of someone else whose body you admire, I love the idea of having an image in our brains. And as I’m vowing to get back to regular workouts, y’all know I had to do some shopping to take the motivation next level. We all get more motivated to workout if we like our workout gear right?
Your alarm goes off, you hit snooze, and curl back up in bed – sound like a typical morning? If you’re like me, it’s pretty easy to talk yourself out of a workout. Like, anything sounds better a lot of days – y’all with me? With summer coming in hot, I’ve been thinking of ways to get myself more motivated – without a back and forth in my mind of why I should vs. shouldn’t work out. I’ve been pretty good about the whole workout from home thing, but I figured more ideas for motivation can’t hurt, right?
Lately, I've really been trying to get into a consistent workout routine, and what I'm realizing is that I need my routine to be flexible - it's key for me actually working out. I love going to classes, but sometimes (often), my schedule doesn't allow for that. So instead of using that as an excuse to pretty much not exercise, I've been getting in workouts from my house - or hotel.
Do ya'll ever feel like you need something fresh when it comes to your exercise routine? Like your body and mind are just o.v.e.r. it? I've been craving time outside and simply sick of my normal gym routine. It sounds dramatic, but I've been longing for time to clear my head, hear nothing but nature, and get some new workouts in. I've been in Highlands, North Carolina this week, so I spent time outside taking advantage of the GORGEOUS setting. With endless trails to explore, I went on a couple hikes with my family, and even made my dad do BBG with me (more on this in an upcoming post, but if you don't know what it is, it's a tough workout and my dad had me LOLing the whole time. An extra ab workout for sure! (Anyone catch us on Snapchat?!)
