Make it Happen March workout plan
Spring is in the aiiiirr… Along with it: picnics, hikes (without being chilly!), wine on the balcony, dresses… I’m so excited I can hardly stand it. I’m also excited for another month to start fresh, kill it in the gym and build on from my Winter Shape Up results- hope you feel the same way!…

Take it with a grain of salt
I can confidently say that within the almost-5 years I’ve been writing this little thing, I haven’t really experienced much writer’s block. In all fairness, the first two years’ posts were mostly fluff and getting the hang of blogging (there’s some background stuff that goes into it and I’ve never been very tech-y). Since then,…

Nice to matcha
Night and day! After the teething monster took away my baby for a day, the sweet girl is back to herself… smiling, laughing and singing the “merrily, merrily, merrily, merrily” part to my horrible “Row the boat” rendition. (When she says, “merrily!” it sounds a lot like “marry me”) We had an awesome Monday together.…

Snow em gee
[thank you lovely Katie for the post title!] You see that white stuff in the background? It’s SNOW! In typical Tucson kids’ fashion, we all ran outside in between our classes to take pictures of each other with snow in the background. Rookies, I tell ya. Snow is an extreme rarity here! My absolute favorite…

Sneaks for me, sneaks for youuuuu
The stairs and I are not friends today. Spinning gets me EVERY time! So good. Since the Pilot was home yesterday, I was able to take a daytime class, so I went into work for 10 minutes of weights and 45-minute spin. My friend Katie taught, and her playlist was amazing. I especially love the…

Party crashers
Morning… or afternoon 😉 The time I would have spent writing this morning’s post was sucked into a vortex that is this book. (photo source) I was going to read a couple of chapters, and if you’ve read it, you can probably guess how well that worked out for me. SO good, and a quick,…

Excuse Busters
All of us have those times when we know a workout would have us feeling great, but we just can’t muster up the motivation to get it done. Yesterday, I experienced one of those times, so I thought I’d put together this post about common workout excuse busters to help you push past whatever’s preventing…

2/8: Friday Faves
-Yoga. I always love yoga, but it’s even more delicious after a bit of a hiatus. Hot power yoga is my absolute favorite, but I *thought* all of the classes here were 90 minutes and far away. Not the case at all! Kyle and Meg introduced me to a studio downtown, $4 seriously hot yoga,…
