8/18: Meals and fitness for the week
Hi friends 🙂 How has your weekend been? Ours has been great but, as weekends tend to be, over way too quickly. (Source) Yesterday marked the end of my “week sans sugar” cleanse. I was starting to get too dependent on sugary treats, especially in between teaching classes, so I decided to cut them out…

8/16: Friday faves
-The hour in the morning before it’s scorching hot. It’s perfect time to have a cup of coffee, write a blog post or check emails before noodle wakes up. I always love to sit on the patio, even more now that we have the hammock chair. I’m obsessed. -Walking around on University. I had a…

Hitting the wall, fuel and belts
I LOVED taking Tony Horton’s classes this past weekend at IDEA. Not only is he full of awesome tricks and valuable info -I used a couple of his moves in my Tabata class this morning- but he’s also a jokester. He called us baby pterodactyls at one point, and even though we were all in…

Party at our place
This little Tuesday night tradition we have going on? Let’s keep it forever 😉 We wanted to have everyone over for dinner while the Pilot’s mom is here, so last night was pizza night at our house. I would have loved to make a *real* dinner, but we met up at Grant’s for an hour…

IDEA World Conference 2013: the expo and other fun stuff
Since I’ve already re-capped the sessions and “meat” of the IDEA conference, how about the rest of the fun stuff? (with Monica, Cassey and Julie) Namely, the Expo and hanging out with some awesome ladies 🙂 (from Reebok’s twitter!) I’m not sure I’d recommend IDEA for a first conference because basically anything after that is…

8/11: Meals and fitness for the week
After my weekend at the IDEA conference (still have one session left!), I feel so inspired. I also feel even more grateful to be a part of a group of fitness professionals, all working together to create a healthier planet. My full recap posts are still coming up- I needed one for the session recaps…

8/9: Friday Faves
-Livi’s first french braid. If someone could just stop the clock, that would be nice. I braided it pretty quickly, but she sat super still and was so patient. I love that it can keep her bangs out of her face, but she looks so grown up with a braid! And speaking of her getting…

Physique 57 Barre Meetup
Hi friends! I’m having an absolute blast here at the IDEA World Fitness convention. It’s my first year attending and I’m already blown away by the incredible classes, lectures and vendors. It’s definitely going to put a little pep in my teaching step and give me new strategies and tools to use when I teach.…

No shortcuts
Lately: We’ve been drinking lots of fresh juices. We went to the zoo -it had rained and was gloriously cool outside! (My heart melts to see Livi having a blast with her cousins) (That peacock was AFTER ME) I enjoyed an amazing yoga class with friends (not a single Warrior 2, which was gloriously refreshing)…

Paleo BLTs
or “BLATs”, rather 🙂 Certain foods always remind me of my childhood. Just to name a small few: fresh, homemade tortillas -they’d still be warm from the stove and would literally melt in your mouth Nana’s frijoles (THE BEST) tomato soup in a coffee mug -still one of my favorites, especially when I’m fighting the…

8/4: Meals and fitness for the week
Hi friends! Happy Sunday. Another day hitting the snooze button, yet another day of cranking out a training run! I laid in bed debating whether I wanted to get dressed and run, and quickly realized I had a few things in my favor: 1) It was early, so if I went, I could be back…
