Functional, stylish workout gear from Old Navy
When you look at the workout pants/shorts area of my closet, you’ll see a common theme: black stretchy. I wear lots and lots of black stretchy pants. For Zumba, I’ll clown it up with as many neon color combos and patterns as I can find (if it has the Zumba logo on it, it matches,…

CR Cuisine and Amenities
After a weekend of picturesque views, healthy culinary delights, being pampered and learning (new fitness and health techniques, and also about myself) it’s time to head back to the land of cacti. Before I get back in the swing of life, I wanted to take a post to talk about all of the amazing food…

This is a sponsored post from Blue Diamond Almonds. Sponsored posts are a rarity around here, as I only accept product reviews and sponsored posts from brands I’m truly passionate about. Even though I was compensated to write this post, as always all opinions are my own. __________________________________________________________________________________________________ I’m always a little groggy in the…

Today was a great day, but I think the fact that I forgot a sock gave it a strange feel. While you’re teaching multiple fitness classes, it’s hard to forget that you’re only wearing one sock with your shoes. Didn’t feel very good. This did, though 😉 (coming home to snuggle my favorite girl) And…

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…

Sometimes it feels so good to hang around the house in jammies and do nothing. Since the Pilot was off work yesterday, I was happy to celebrate a slow day with him 🙂 He let me sleep in and then I took care of Livi while he took a long morning nap. Around 12, we…

Oh spin bike, we meet again. Thanks for the booty-kicking. I appreciate that. We got new spin bikes at work, and WHOA, they are amazing. I love the fact that the screen shows wattage (power), cadence, heart rate, distance and time. (The bottom left button enables you to create a “stage” that will track your…

Morning, friends! It’s our last morning in San Diego… We’ve had such an amazing time, and as sad as it is to leave, [Please come home with me, seals!] I can’t wait to watch Bella try to shake her tail off her body teach a Zumba class sleep in our own bed (even though…

Stuffed bell peppers
I got to see the sunrise this morning. While I’m not a morning person in the least –I usually wake up around 6:45 or 7, but don’t turn into a human until at least 8- it was surprising to discover that I actually liked waking up so early today. I’m not going to make…

Hiiiiii friends 😀 It’s almost the weekend! Thank.goodness. [I got Bella to make that face by asking her if she loves her dad more than me. She said yes, haha] It’s a good day today- one of the girls from work is covering my morning shift so I only have to work in the afternoon.…

Hey hey 😀 How was your day? Hope you’re having a great night so far 🙂 Work today was amazeballz. I just feel so fortunate to do what I love every single day. When I get paychecks, they’re kind of surprising because I have to remind myself that I actually worked. As the saying goes…
