Zumba with me! “Se Le Ve”

One week in and I’ve already dined out.. during Dine-In December. It was a long day at work and I had no idea what I was going to cook for dinner, feeling a little apprehensive after the tempeh fail. A good friend asked me to join her for dinner after Liv was already in bed,…

“Daaaamn, girl” December Workout

That’s the only title that came to mind.. so I’m just gonna roll with it 😉 Not only are other people going to be thinking that when they see your results, but that’s how you’ll feel after each workout: proud of yourself! And ready for a shower. This workout is meant to be completed circuit-style…

Red-faced and Tabata Thursday

The Pilot is responsible for the sudden overpopulation of turtle doves in Tucson. Ever since he built the bird condo, we’ve had mama birds rotating in and out, and a constant outflow of sweet baby birds. Liv and I love to look at them when we take Bell outside in the morning. Bird house 4…

5 minutes of fiery ab frenzy

Thank so much for all of your wonderful feedback on the new blog design. Cody did such an incredible job- I really love it. The blog has gone through a few facelifts as time has gone on and things have changed around here. Of all the changes I’ve made, I like to think/hope my photography…

Triple Threat Cardio Workout

Come glide with me, let’s glide let’s glide awaaayyyyyyyy… I’m playing with the gliders on my lunch break because instead of Zumba, I’m teaching a glide class this afternoon. It’s my first time, so I want to make sure I have enough moves in my back pocket. The whole family is joining in on the…

Random goals + TABATA THURSDAY!

All I have for ya from yesterday are pictures of my dessert: (red wine and a “baked” apple with cinnamon- a little butter, cinnamon, chopped apple, microwaved for 2 minutes) and our Bollywood costume: a gorgeous printed skirt, jingle belt and an anklet. I got to teach Zumba, assist Hip Hop and assist Bollywood- it…

July 26: Tabata Thursday

Hi friends! I’m in between classes right now, but wanted to get up this week’s Tabata Thursday video! We ALL have 4 minutes to spare- shake (or jump, muaha) those legs out and you’ll feel much better. For more info on Tabata training, check out this post. Some things to remember: -Always warm up and…

Groceries and benches

I’d like to take a second and thank…. -our neighbors, who brought over the best enchiladas I’ve ever had. A bold, very true statement. (Savored it- cheese and all. If someone makes the tortillas and sauce from scratch, you need to have the full experience. I wanted to curl up and live in that enchilada)…

Rice investment + a NEW leg burner

I’m pretty sure our rice cooker has paid for itself already. I picked it up at Costco for our housewarming party, and since then, have used it countless times for various grains- it makes beautiful quinoa. Since I busted the mini food chopper making cookie butter, I think it may be my most frequently-used winter…

Workout quickie: Stability Ball Blitz

Maybe I should have just braved the eye claw. I’ve worn contacts since 4th grade, and really haven’t had any probs with them until now. They discontinued the style I’ve worn for years, so I’ve been trying to find another brand/style that will work. The eye doc gave me a pair that’s fantastic, but you…

Blizzard Booty Burner

I woke up this morning so excited to see…. SNOW! From a distance, that is 😉 (I enjoy snow the most this way) One bonus point for chilly weather: when I take Bella out, she does her business wicked fast. I should put a jacket on her, but she’s like a little white furry lightning…

“Baby, it’s cold outside” workout

I don’t think Bell has a problem with her sporadic walking schedule since the weather has changed. We still play around the house to get the crazies out: she’s a fetch pro yesterday, we chased around the yard (she went into full on sprint mode! see the dirty paws?) and today, we snuggled on the…
