Fuel Your Year, Fuel Your Hustle

I seriously don't care how cliché it sounds; if you're looking to get healthier, start a new diet or workout plan, pick up a new hobby, or simply change your life, there's no better time to get started than the first day of a new year.

No matter what each year brings, I have to admit that I'm always ready for the next one. 2017 was really incredible; I excelled in my business, crushed a few financial goals I had for the year, and I lost weight (about 40 pounds!) and got healthier. At 27, I am the fittest I've ever been in my entire life--that's a good feeling! And I can imagine it's pretty rare; most of my friends would give anything to get their college bodies back and feel the same way they did at 21!

The funny thing about your fitness goals is that they're not stagnant; they change pretty often! We reach one goal and then we're on to crushing a new personal record in the squat rack or getting a new base pace in our run or beating our mile time. It seems that I am always looking for new and better ways to fuel my hustle; this year will be no different!

I did a lot of self-improvement in 2017, and 2018 is going to be even better! I've got a head-start on my gym game by scheduling my Orange Theory workouts ahead of time, making sure I attend at least three every week! I'm not obsessing over the scale this year, but I am weighing myself once every couple of weeks (checking in with this number really helps keep me on track!), and I'm also staying connected with my calorie tracker app on my iPhone and tracking those macronutrients: carbs, sugars, fats, and proteins!

And speaking of proteins, thanks to Oikos® Protein Crunch Yogurt by Dannon, I feel like I'm already way ahead of the game! When it comes to healthy snacking, I'm a "crunch" person (I'm sure many of you can relate!) My ideal snack is a mixture of salty and sweet and has a crunch to it! This is probably why carbs have always been my weakness--just give me all the chips and crackers!!

I received an exclusive invitation to try Dannon's new Oikos® Protein Crunch Yogurt (new at Walmart), and I was immediately hooked! Not only am I getting fueled with 17 grams of protein in a five ounce up, I'm also getting 6 grams of fiber and a healthy, beneficial snack with NO artificial sweeteners or flavors. That is definitely something I can get on board with in 2018! 

It seems as if Dannon created this new yogurt (in four amazing flavors!) with busy mamas like me in mind! I may work from home, but that doesn't mean I'm not constantly running around and staying busy, and I am always needing that extra fuel in my body, that extra push to keep my energy up and keep going! I had to get creative with my time just to sit down and devote time to my blog to talk about how much I'm loving Oikos® Protein Crunch Yogurt! It's got the smooth, semi-sweet taste of the Greek, nonfat yogurt I've always loved but with the crunch I love and crave in the toppings! 

The protein packed in this five-ounce snack is seriously just a plus! 

Visit your local Walmart next time you're grabbing groceries and be sure to stop by the dairy section to find this stuff! I am always down for trying new yogurt flavors, and Dannon has definitely made an impression on me with Oikos® Protein Crunch Yogurt! 

If I've not convinced you enough, grab this offer from Ibotta! It's an app that gives you money back for the things your purchase every day at grocery stores! I think you guys have heard me rave about it before; it is definitely an amazing little tool while grocery shopping, and Dannon is giving you an exclusive offer to try Oikos® Protein Crunch Yogurt too!

I'm so ready to see all the good that 2018 brings to me--body, mind, and soul! I'm working hard every day to better myself, get healthier, and live happier. Dannon's  Oikos® Protein Crunch Yogurt is definitely going to help my accomplish at least one of these goals this year! 

How are you fueling your hustle this year?!
