something to do
Raining Sweat Circuit
Hi friends 🙂 Thank you for all of the Caro tips! I can always count on you for great advice- just ordered her some antler treats to chew on since latest object of destruction was a bamboo spatula. Last night was girls’ night: Liv, myself, Bella and Caroline. The Pilot has his Master’s class on…

Day of days
Or a week of weeks? (My “down time” last night was a mug of tea and painting my nails. Business on top, party on the toes) I think the universe cursed me for thinking to myself that I was so happy we made it a year without Liv getting sick. Even though we were at…

Booty burning Walking Workout + the runner’s dilemma
A few fitness tools that can be deceiving: -playground balls (they look nice and whimsical, but can make your thighs feel a fiery fury) -the Stairmaster (it’s easy scoff at the ‘master since you’re moving slowly, but it’s one of the most challenging cardio workouts for me) -kettlebells (before I really knew how to use…

Staycay
Hi from staycation! 🙂 I gave myself a little gift for Livi’s birthday and took the next two days off work. For scheduling purposes, we have to ask for time off months ahead, and I asked for this Thursday and Saturday off quite a while ago. I’m excited for quality time with the fam and…

One song workouts
“One song workouts, one song, to make it less boring….” (holler for Rent… or really bad rewrites of “One Song Glory” Something as small as a playlist has the power to make my workout full of sweat, triumph and victory, or just ruin it all together. For some people, the tunes don’t seem to matter…

1/6: Meals and Fitness for the week
Hi friends 🙂 Sorry for the blog silence yesterday! The only thing I had to write about was my legendary headache. I even took a few Tylenol, which is a testament to how bad it was.. usually I’ll just deal with it. When I got home for the day, some snuggles and giggles made it…

Cardiac Cats and Pinner Winners
I had a feeling I’d be way too zonked to go to the Wildcats game last night. Thursdays can go one way or the other with my teaching schedule- sometimes they’ll be relaxed and passive classes, and sometimes I’ll get surprised with multiple intense teaches, which ended up being yesterday. I taught buff booty, DJ…

Green everything + Killer Cardio Circuit
I’ve mentioned before that I tend to suffer from workout accomplishment amnesia. This means that I’ll run 10 miles and then a week later, on my long run day, I doubt my ability to do more than 3. It shocks me that I was able to do such a long distance the week before. Anyone…

Detoxifying eats
Note about the following post: if you are suffering or recovering from an eating disorder and think reading about a sugar detox would be uncomfortable to you, I would consider skipping this particular post. What we read can affect our bodies and minds – I’m sending all of my love and healing wishes to you.…

Hug someone
It’s interesting how the weather tends to appropriately react on such a sad day. My heart breaks for the families of those who were affected by yesterday’s horrific events. I’ve felt anguished and too stunned to write, so I kept the computer closed and spent the afternoon and evening with the people I love so…

20 workouts, 20 minutes or less
Hi friends 🙂 Happy Friday! No post last night. Oliv has been teething this week, and writing something in my zombie state would not do this blog any favors 😉 I’m so happy to hear you liked the Caroline and Bella video. They’ve become fast friends: chasing each other, taking naps together and even sharing…
