Hello – Happy Thursday!

As you probably know, I decided to challenge myself and signed up to run my very first half-marathon in October. My longest run was a 10K back in April so running a 21K race will definitely be a challenge, both physically and mentally.

This is my fifth week of training, I’m loving the journey and have learned a lot since when I started. If you’re new to the “running world” or is thinking about starting long distance training, this is for you 🙂 Here are some personal tips I think you should know.

finishing a long run makes you feel so accomplished, trust me!

Hello loves – Happy Tuesday!

I often get asked about what I eat in a day or how I keep I stay healthy work. First off, each body is different and has different nutritional needs. I’ve personally learned so much about food throughout the years that today I pretty much know what I need to keep my body energized and healthy.

It’s a little hard to tell what my day/meals will look like since I don’t follow any diets/or count macros ( I’m just avoiding red meat lately). And even though my meals change daily, I thought it would be fun to share with you what I eat in a regular week/work day.Read More »

Happy Wednesday!

Who is ready for warmers day? I can’t wait for some sunshine and Vitamin D!

I have been wanting to write this blog post for ever since a friend of mine asked me “how she could change to start living a healthier life.” After talking to her about it, I finally decided to share my thoughts and some of things that helped me to become healthier when I changed my lifestyle in 2013!

5 TIPS FOR A HEALTHIER LIFE

Set Attainable Goals: I think this is the most important one. Setting up a goal and having the desire to change, is the very first step. Grab a paper/phone, write down your goals and set a deadline to achieve them. I personally love writing down my goals so I can cross them out whenever I achieve them. I also like to set goals for the week and even for the day. Short-term goals can be achieved faster, and will motivated us to keep working towards the long-term goals.

Happy Tuesday everyone – Hope you all had an great Labor Day Weekend!

Who loves wearing athletic-wear? I sure do! Even when I’m not at the gym working out, I’m almost always wearing activewear. I wear it at the grocery store, when I’m chilling at home, running errands, shopping, and I even wear gym clothes at work – I can wear Athleisure at the office and I love it!

Comfort is EVERYTHING! Besides, you can’t go wrong with a comfy pair of leggings. Am I right?!

Happy Sunday! I hope you’ll had an amazing weekend 🙂

I’ve been getting lots of questions lately about how I got started with my Instagram and Blog, so I decided to finally share with you how everything started and my life changing story with you’ll 🙂

THE OLD SHEINA

Growing up I was always a tall “skinny” girl. I started playing volleyball when I was 8-years old and my life was always about volleyball practices, laps around the gym, workouts, agility trainings, and tournaments. LOVED every second of it!

Even though I was an athlete for almost my entire life, my eating habits were not the best. Cookies, soda, candy and fried foods were big part of my daily eating routine. The years went by and in 2009 I received a full-schorlaship to come play college volleyball in a Junior College in Liberal, KS. When I first arrived in the United States I was overwhelmed by all the food options, and how much cheaper they were compared to Brazil. Even practicing 5 days a week for approximatly 3 hours a day, by end of November I had gained a little over 10 LBS (can’t remember for sure).
