Health and Wellness

Staying healthy and fit can be challenging, especially when you live in a big city like Fort Worth.  It's no secret that one of my favorite things to do is go out and have dinner with friends and family. The problem with going out is all of the delicious temptations you come across.

I want to talk about some of the easy, fun and cheap ways to stay healthy and fit in the city.

Urban Acres

Medium share from Urban Acres.

One thing that everyone knows about me is that I love food but being a college student, I don't have money to go out every night. I try to cook at home as much as possible but I hate having to go to the store every other day to get groceries. 

Urban Acres is a local co-op that includes a variety of different fruits and vegetables. You get to pick which size share you want and pick up every other weekend. 

I really enjoy Urban Acres because I pick up my share on Saturday then go home and create my meal plan for the week. Then on Sundays I go grocery shopping and I am set for the week. 

Trader Joe's

Banana stand at Trader Joe's.

Speaking of groceries, have you ever been to Trader Joe's? They have incredibly cheap prices and pretty much everything you could possibly need. 

It is such a fun experience, all the employee's dress in Hawaiian t-shirt's and the store is decorated with colorful wall art. They also have signs all over the store advertising their extremely low prices.

Trader Joe's always has a wide variety of different and unique foods as well as regular items you would find at Tom Thumb. 

I was really amazed by these banana's. I know that sounds funny but come on! Five banana's for less than a dollar?

Sumit's Hot Yoga

Here's a peak into one of the Sumit's classes.

I'm really bad because I love to eat, but I don't always love going to the gym. I feel a bit intimidated at gyms because I don't always know what I'm doing and end up walking on a treadmill. 

Well, I recently started practicing yoga again at Sumit's Hot Yoga. I absolutely love it. It is an 80 minute long, guided class. Everyone does the same thing together and follows along with the instructed. It is very peaceful and the yoga teacher's are very good about assuring you that there is no judgement in the room and they are very willing to help.

Another thing that I love is that they play music you would hear on the radio and not just meditational music. During the class, you really focus on your body and your breathing.
