Work, then play
I’m finally back home for good- lots of fun and running around today! Work, car shopping and a party at a friends’ house. In between classes, I came back home to grab a sweet potato with almond butter, and take a smoothie back with me. (my #smoothieaday was mango, spinach, Sun Warrior, hemp seeds, almond…

Girls night! The Pilot had a roll call (aka an official meeting among pilots that involves lots of Jeremiah Weed whisky), so Marisa and Michele (and Levi!) came over last night to hang out. I didn’t take a ton of pics, but it was so much fun to share some vino, get takeout from Renee’s…

Hi lovelies. Nice to see you over here! This is mostly Meg’s page now, but that doesn’t mean I’m not going to stop and crash the party every now and again 😉 I can’t believe I still haven’t written about my “rudegirl” phase in 8th grade. I wore 60s clothing (from vintage shops), Fred Perry…
Read More →Busybody
Like many of you, I’m a little bit of a busybody. I always like to be doing something, and when I get some down time, I’ll likely spend it multi-tasking. At our work meeting yesterday, our boss said that it’s why we’re fitness instructors- we have a crazy thing with our brain that won’t let…

Ahhhh, so good to be back home with my favorite people and fur child. Such a lady. Work was good today- no Zumba, but I assisted DJ Dance Cardio, taught a cardio/strength class, got a new suit for pool classes (Baywatch outfit no more!) and it was my first time teaching drums of death.…

Lots of fun little projects have been going on lately, including: the Pinterest-inspired photo wall for upstairs (collecting frames in various textures, all in the same color family and picking up photo orders from Walgreens) and Liv’s baby book. It took me a LONG time to order a baby book, because I couldn’t…

Some random things about work lately: -When you work in the weight room, you have to empty out the towel bins. They’re sleek silver mesh trash can type things, and you carry it into one of the spa laundry rooms to empty the bin for housekeeping. You walk back to the weight room with said…

Hi friends, I’m putting together a summer hairstyle post for you (with all of the Pinterest braids I’ve been rocking), but in the meantime, here’s a post from the lovely Meg with one of her staples: the top knot. A little more polished than the post-Zumba messy bun I’ve got going on today 😉 Thank…
Read More →10 ways to plank
Planks are one of my all-time favorite core exercises. Source (It looks like Vies!) As I’ve mentioned before, one of the tricks I’ve learned is that the maximum amount of time you should hold a plank is 10 seconds, because after that you start to engage and depend on other muscles to keep you up…

(Saw this on Facebook- if you have the accurate source, please let me know!) Not our house this morning. Most mornings are pretty amazing. Liv will wake up anywhere between 5-6, I’ll feed her in our bed, put her back in her crib and we’ll both go back to sleep for a little while (until…

Slow cooker shredded Mexican chicken
A glass of wine and jammies = pretty much the best way to cap off a Monday night. Or any night, really. When are you too old to wear the PINK collection? Actually, don’t answer that. Some other highlights from the day: –The Schweaty May workout Mom came over in the afternoon to hang…

Review: Advanced TurboFire DVDs
As you guys know, I’m a huge fan of “the fiyah.” I just love workouts that can be done at home with minimal space and equipment- I’m always looking for ways to spice up my at-home fitness routine. Some faves are: Zuzana ZWOW workouts (I used to LOVE BodyRock, but since she left I’m not…
