No Fun February 2019: Halfway Check-In Point

It’s February 15th and we are officially over the halfway mark of No Fun February. How’s it going y’all? I am so happy that so many of my friends have jumped on board and are participating in one way or another. I get so happy when someone tells me “I went out tonight but I didn’t drink because it’s No Fun Feb” or “I’ve been eating really healthy this month” or “I’ve been saving so much money by not going out for lunch”. Awesome! This month is full of little victories (and a lot of little ways to get through it as best you can). So while I haven’t been perfect this entire month (even though this is my thing) I still wanted to share how I’ve done so far, some road bumps I’ve hit but some things I’m also really proud.

Why Do “No Fun February”?

The time has come again! This is my second year of doing No Fun February and honestly I need it bad. I am just now finishing up all the holiday candy in my house and my poor wallet needs a break. Here is my original post for “No Fun February” but I refuse to make posts like this without acknowledging that this name for this came from when my friend, Jesse, did “No Fun November” a few years ago. I’ve made a few changes to last years NFF rules and guidelines which you can find below. But this blog post is also about why you should even give up your indulges anyway and participate in No Fun February.

And if you’ve caught on to how early I’m posting about NFF, that’s because I’m traveling for most of January and wanted to plant the idea in your head so you can decide if you want to do NFF with me!

“The Fit Girl” Gift Guide

Happy hump day! To help you get through the week, I thought I would share this gift guide for “the fit girl” in your life. I have to admit that a lot of this may be things that a girl who works out a lot already has, but I also think these are good gifts for the girl trying to be super fit in the new year. Hey, we all start somewhere!

My Experience With OrangeTheory Fitness

So for the past 8 weeks I have been working out at Orange Theory. I originally started because I wanted a work out class to give me a little push before my trip to Jamaica. I ended up signing up for one month, and then another month and now I’m hooked. My friend Emily originally told me about it and I am so glad she did. I seriously love these classes. I used to not push myself at the gym and get bored of my normal work outs, but Orange Theory keeps things fun, different and you always walk away feeling accomplished. I’ll try my best to explain the class and why I like it so much.

My First Half Marathon (How I Trained & Prepared)

I am so proud to announce that last weekend, I ran my first half marathon! If you follow me on Instagram, you know I’ve been training for the last 10 weeks. I’m still in disbelief that I was able to push my body this far to actually run 13.1 miles, especially since 6 months ago I could barely run a 5K. Now I want to emphasize that I was not super fast and I feel I could have done a little better, but I’m really proud of myself for actually finishing. I definitely want to run another half marathon and I hope I keep up with my running during the summer. If you’re like me and you did not/do not think you can run 13.1 miles, this post is for you.

No Fun February in Review:

Even though this month was only 28 days, I feel like it was the longest month ever. As today is March 1st, I wanted to share how my month of “no fun” went. The truth is, I didn’t stick to my rules as much as I thought I would have, but that doesn’t mean this challenge was a total waste.

No Fun February

For more recent and updated posts on No Fun Feb, click here and here!

Hi everyone! I haven’t posted in a super long time because I was studying abroad in Scotland and Ireland. Currently I’m really sick and that has also delayed my posting of anything. And when I say sick I mean like actually skipped all my classes and work today sick. I’m praying its not the flu because I have a big weekend ahead of me.

I can’t wait to share all of my Scotland and Ireland pictures! I took over 1700 so I’m no where near done editing. My trip was ah-maz-ing. However, I went a little crazy with the drinking, junk food and spending money while abroad. Not that this is a bad thing! I am a firm believer that while you’re abroad you should fully immerse yourself in the culture, even if it hurts your wallet. Trust me…my wallet is hurting. So I devised this concept of “No Fun February” after one of my good friends did “No Fun November” a few years ago. His concept was a little different than mine, but the basic principles stand. I’m not sure if this concept already exists, but this is my personal plan.
