My Daily Wellness Journal brings together information, resources, and events on my health, fitness, and positive lifestyle journey. For me, daily wellness consists of personal development, proper nourishment, performance supplements, and working out. I am currently running 6 – 7 days a week and doing the rest of my workouts in Beachbody On Demand as time permits (while raising two teenage daughters on my own). My current workout program is Job 1 with Jennifer Jacobs
Personal Development
Read Day 262 of Billy Graham’s “Day By Day Devotional” in the YouVersion app
Read Day 296 in the Bible Project “One Story That Leads to Jesus” Bible reading plan
Listened to Joel Osteen’s message, “It’s Just a Matter of Time”
Supplements
Every morning, I drink Beachbody Performance Energize whether I am working out or not. Every day, I drink Shakeology and today’s shake is Plant-Based Tropical Strawberry.
Because I eat a plant-based diet, on a daily basis, I take sublingual B12 from Trader Joe’s. Every other day, I take zinc with vitamin C from Whole Foods and a Nature Made iron tablet.
Beginning on June 22nd, I started taking St. John’s Wort before I start my day, ashwagandha before running and rhodiola after running followed by holy basil and nettle later. I started this routine after reading the article “Herbs to Maximize Your Athletic Performance“.
