Happy weekend! It is the last weekend before Thanksgiving, and we know it can be a really busy time of year (and it is just getting started!). With all of the holiday parties coming up, and more and more holidays and get-togethers, it can be difficult to stay healthier, and not just throw your routines out the window! Even we live a very regimented and healthy lifestyle, but with stress and lots of family and friend time, it can be tricky!
We wanted to share 3 things we are doing this Thanksgiving (more tips in this post), plus some plant-based recipes we will be trying out!
To be honest, we will be wearing something like this super comfy outfit for Thanksgiving. Of course, it is fun to get all dressed up, but since we are usually working a lot during the week of Thanksgiving (and eat a tonnnnn of food), we like to keep it casual. These Adidas PureBoost Sneakers are most definitely our favorites right now. We shared more about them in this post, but we have them in THREE colors, and haven’t stopped wearing them since we bought them!
They are lightweight, great for running, training, lifting weights, or walking, and that is why we love this pair! No need to switch out to different types of sneakers for different workouts with these. We honestly wear these straight from the gym to errands or lunch.
We wanted to share three things we are doing to stay healthier:
- STAYING ACTIVE: we may not make it to the gym, but we will definitely be going on walks with our families throughout the week. If it is too chilly, we love walking in a mall while we browse around!
- DRINK LOTS OF WATER AND HOT TEAS: when we are busy, we tend to not drink enough, or stay hydrated. We are going to be sipping on lots of water and hot teas. The more you drink (in between meals) the fuller you will feel, and less likely you will be to drink liquid calories from cocktails or other things! If you are going to be making cocktails, try to drink a lot of water with them!
- GET SAUCES AND DRESSINGS ON THE SIDE: this is a game changer. Sauces can be super yummy and flavorful, but it is also a lot of hidden fat and extra calories. We always get ours on the side and use as much as we want with our forks, rather than dumping ALL of it on our plates or dishes.
We also found some plant-based recipes we will be making that we wanted to share with you!
These Roasted Carrots with Farro, Chickpeas, and Herbed Creme Fraiche looks DELISH! We love roasted carrots.
Love a good quinoa salad and this Herbed Quinoa & Chickpea Salad with Lemon-Tahini sounds incredible!
We can’t wait to try this Cauliflower Rice Stuffing.
These Maple Roasted Brussels Sprouts are definitely a must!

When we are on vacation, or just out of town for work, we usually like to workout at least once  if we are gone for the weekend, depending on where we are. If we are going for more than that, we will try and workout for two or three days. The important thing to us, is to stay on a schedule on stay regimented. It doesn’t mean we kill ourselves or put a ton of stress on ourselves to get in a super long workout, but we just get something in. It could be going on a long walk outside or on the beach, doing yoga, or just lifting some weights for 10-15 minutes! 
Depending on where we are, for cardio, we will either walk on the beach or outdoors, go swimming in the pool/beach or snorkel, go on a bike ride (indoors or outdoors), hiking, tennis, or go shopping (which can make for a lot of steps!).
Usually, most hotels have decent gyms with a few dumbbells, or something you can use to get some weight bearing exercises in! If they don’t have anything, you can always bring
Of course, as we mentioned, it is important to take days off and let your body rest. When we were in Europe a while back, we we worked out maybe two or three times total in the actual hotel gyms, and just walked SO much throughout the trip. Sometimes, that is just the best thing–killing two birds with one stone!
There’s also so many activities you can do like kayaking, paddle boarding, surfing, etc if you’re somewhere that has those options that are a great workout! 
And, about this outfit, which we have gotten SO many questions about! 
Happy Tuesday! We are sharing another workout with you all today, and this one is for your booty! Gotta get summer/bikini ready. Before we get into the workout, we wanted to share this workout look from

You may not be able to make it to the gym or just don’t have a gym membership in general, so all you need for our workouts are some dumbbells and maybe some resistance bands. We will try to keep them pretty simple and explain each movement the best we can, but as always, if you have any questions, feel free to reach out or comment below!
