JOB! Giveaway! and The Healthy Truth pt. 2!

I’m super duper excited for this giveaway! It begins next Tuesday and will be live for a whoppin 12 days! Not only will there be a GRAND PRIZE WINNER, but I’ll be having mini-giveaways throughout the weeks!  This giveaway will be taking place when I’m on vacation, so I’m excited to see how it goes! 

Speaking of vacation, I’m way stoked, because I’m headed up to Maine! Do I have any buddies from Maine out there? I’ve never been past NYC before on the east coast, so this will be a super fun family vacay! But dont worry, I’ve got some great stuff planned for when I’m gone, so make sure to stay tuned!

Also, if you have any great book selections you have read or are reading this summer, I’d love some ideas! My kindle will be my bff as I get some new reads to bring with me on vacay!

Alrighty! Now it’s time for week 2 of:

This week is going to be short and sweet! First, I really hope you all are joining me on this journey! They say it takes 21 days to build a habit, so start today! 

I have a fun techie tip today! I have an iPhone, and I know a bunch of you do too, and there are 2 apps that you gotta have! These probably are on Android phones as well, so check them out in your app store!

My Fitness Pal has become a favorite of mine. It’s a free app that is a great find for anyone wanting accountability or tracking of their weight loss. You sign up for free, and can figure out a goal for yourself, as well as decide on the calories you will consume in a day. Then, every day, you can log your eating and exercise in the diary, and stay accountable! Also, you can track your progress, in weight and/or measurements.

Another great thing about this app is it’s social! You can look up friends’ usernames, and keep each other on track! My username is allieelliott. If you have or are getting this app, let me know what you’re username is, and we can help each other!

This second app is called Nike+ Running. This free app is great for those of you who like to run/walk. But that’s all of us, sometimes though! Whether you’re on vacation and can’t get to a gym, stuck at home with sick kiddos, or even just don’t have the time to spend, a run/walk around the neighborhood provides great exercise! This app tracks your runs in time, distance, mph, calories, and more! You can tell it where you’re running, and if you want your run to be determined by time, distance, calories, etc. The fun part of this app is if you connect it to your facebook, it’ll post your run, and when someone likes it on fb, you’ll hear cheers/applause!

Now it’s your turn to link up! Your post could be about anything having to do remotely with healthy living!
