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…

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…

Since Livi was born, I have loved being able to wear her in the Moby and Baby K’tan. In the beginning, that’s the only place she would nap, and I loved feeling her soft baby snores on my chest. (she was only 3 weeks old in that picture!) There are so many benefits of babywearing:…

Sparkling Lemonade Iced Tea
Sparkling lemonade iced tea is a refreshing drink to cool off with as we head into these warmer months. It’s sweetened with Stevia, so you can enjoy a sweet drink without the sugar rush. I had an amazing weekend with amazing people, and I’m also wicked sore from teaching on Saturday. My biceps are killing me!…
