A Private Andy Grammer Concert
June 27, 2013 { 3 comments }We were very lucky yogis at Y2 Yoga on Tuesday night…Andy Grammer played a private charity concert at the studio benefiting ALS.

Monday + Pizza + Sullie
June 24, 2013 { 20 comments }This photo sums up how Sullie and I feel about Monday. I woke up at 6 a.m. to another pounding headache on the right side of my head. I have had one every day since last week. I took it as a sign to skip my morning yoga class, took some ibuprofen and went back [...]

June 21, 2013 { 13 comments }Happy Friday everyone. I’ve got nadda to show you on the food/life front although I assure you that you aren’t missing anything.

June 19, 2013 { 24 comments }Hey there. I don’t have much to report from today other than… 1) My AC unit is on it’s way out but all hope is not yet lost so for now we wait. Best case scenario I pay $400 for a motor in several months…worst case scenario I replace the whole thing but we’re not [...]

Starting Off With A Bang
June 18, 2013 { 37 comments }First, thanks for all of the happy birthday wishes. It was a happy weekend. But I have to say 30 isn’t off to the greatest start!

Metro CrossFit Throwdown…One Successful Year
June 17, 2013 { 8 comments }Metro CrossFit celebrated its one year anniversary on Saturday and I planned a throwdown to celebrate! Typically, throwdowns are a little more chill than official CrossFit competitions. The idea is that you invite athletes from your gym and other CrossFit gyms in the community to come together and workout. The past few weeks of my [...]

Surprised!
June 16, 2013 { 36 comments }I have been totally spoiled over the last week. My friends have truly made my 30th birthday so special…I am still a little in shock over all of it!

Crossing It Off The Wish List
June 12, 2013 { 13 comments }When people ask me if I’m into photography I explain to them that it’s not a “passion” exactly but I take pictures every single day. So by default of doing it so much and wanting my photographs to look nice, I have kind of gotten into it. I’m not motivated to go out and take [...]

30th Celebration Comes Early
June 10, 2013 { 23 comments }The 30th birthday festivities started a little early on Sunday with an accidental surprise party.

Stop saying I don’t know.
June 9, 2013 { 34 comments }Weekend in photos… I had to work on Saturday morning but it was pretty awesome. 1) Metro CrossFit was rocking and we had a great group for our morning classes with lots of new faces. 2) These sweet puppies were there overseeing the WOD! No really, every time people ran out of the doors to [...]

WOD + Eats + New Yoga Playlist
June 6, 2013 { 11 comments }Workouts this week have been good. Lots of yoga, lots of strength and little running. I’m just really not feeling the running right now.

Sharing Day: Soup, Cauliflower, Yoga Pride, Pam’s Wise Words
June 5, 2013 { 18 comments }Sharing a little of this, little of that today…everything from smoothies to soup to yoga (always yoga) to The Office. I had my first non-smoothie breakfast in 6 days today.

On Stopping The Storytelling
June 4, 2013 { 23 comments }Last Sunday I talked to my yoga class about storytelling. Not the kind of sweet stories you tell children but the stories you make up in your head that cause you fear, anxiety, questioning and doubt. This is something I have struggled with for a long time. I completely freak myself out about things and [...]

A Fashion Post (Gasp) + Sushi + Lazy Sunday
June 2, 2013 { 29 comments }Part two of my weekend included a shopping trip, sushi and normal Sunday stuff. On Saturday afternoon I made a trip to Nordstrom Rack in search of white jeans (my favorite pair had an unfortunate encounter with red wine at a party that left them beyond saving :cry:). While I didn’t find any white jeans [...]

Weekend: Erin McDermott + Cheese & Wine + Market + Cute Sullie
June 1, 2013 { 23 comments }I feel like I’m finally starting to recover from last week. It was a short one but so jam-packed. I didn’t get home from work until 7 on Friday night so I took Sullie out for an easy run so we could enjoy some fresh air after being cooped up in the gym all day. [...]
