I appreciate the encouraging words about my kipping pullups from yesterday’s video. It’s clear to see that I have a lot of work to do before my kipping even slightly resembles what it’s supposed to look like but as I mentioned in my post, I am really okay with that. To be honest, I kind [...]

Cleaning It Up + CrossFit Fun
April 11, 2012 { 38 comments }I’m back! It’s been a bit of a busy week around here so I have been focusing on work. I’ve been teaching a lot of yoga and we have so much going on at Metro. We’re preparing for the opening of our second location and there is so much happening. It’s so exciting and I [...]

What The Weekend Looked Like
April 1, 2012 { 30 comments }It was a low-key weekend in Charlotte and just what I needed in preparation for a busy April. Here are the highlights in photos. Saturday lunch. Trader Joe’s Masala burger on an English muffin with avocado, spinach, cheddar, sprouts and ketchup. Finishing up the 7-day green smoothie challenge. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g-dRbzPrhvE&feature=youtu.be Sullie gets a bath. And is [...]

Squats, Lunges and Cupcakes
March 15, 2012 { 33 comments }Remember the workout I posted yesterday? It ended up taking me about 30 minutes total to complete with the running and CrossFit WOD and clearly it was effective because my glutes (we’ll be PC here) are sore today. When girls ask me “how do I get rid of this” while pointing to their upper thighs, [...]

Sunny Sunday
February 26, 2012 { 18 comments }Happy Oscar evening! I am camped out on the couch watching the red carpet coverage. I’m pretty underwhelmed so far but then again I have only half been paying attention as I’ve been playing on the computer and cooking dinner. I haven’t seen many of the movies that are nominated this year so I’m not [...]

Ode To The Open Faced
February 25, 2012 { 30 comments }I think I need an intervention. Look what I had for lunch yesterday. An open-faced sandwich with a veggie burger. And look what I had for lunch today…an open faced sandwich but this time with an egg. I think I had this for lunch or dinner every single day this week. I feel like some [...]

All About The Eggs + Weekend Update
February 12, 2012 { 21 comments }I hope that it is a beautiful Sunday wherever you are. It is really chilly here but the sun is shining and the cold air is invigorating. It also motivated quite a few yogis to show up for my 9:15 hot class so I’ll take that! ;) I needed a little break from blogging this [...]

A Festive Weekend
December 11, 2011 { 25 comments }Happy Sunday! I hope the weekend has been great for you. I think the theme of my weekend is taking pictures in front of Christmas trees. Such a festive time of year. :P I’ll divide this post into “what I did” and “what I ate.” Weekend Activities (a.k.a. how many pictures can i take in [...]

Yoga and Birthdays
November 13, 2011 { 6 comments }I am pretty disciplined about my yoga practice. There are certain yoga classes that I love to attend and try not to miss. One of those is the Saturday morning Super Flow at Y2. Despite the early 7:30 starting time, I never have a problem motivating myself to get out of bed for it because [...]

Meat and Taters
October 11, 2011 { 10 comments }There’s a chance that I may not be able to lift my arms above my head tomorrow. No, really. I got my booty handed to me this morning. One minute I was shadowing another personal trainer at the gym and the next thing I knew I was doing the workout with the client. When he [...]

Beauty Rituals
April 13, 2011 { 33 comments }I don’t venture into beauty/fashion topics very often (well, really never) but my brow wax today got me thinking about my “no compromise” beauty rituals. My #1 must is my monthly brow/lip wax. I started waxing when I was in high school and have been faithful ever since. As someone with dark hair and features, [...]

Friday Night In: The Return of Patio Dining
April 9, 2011 { 18 comments }Happy Saturday! I hope everyone is having a great weekend. My Saturday has been full of cleaning and yard work…which is not exactly fun but I feel so much calmer when my house is clean so it’s worth it. Lots to catch you up on. Let’s start with Friday and roll through today. I started [...]

Iced Out
January 12, 2011 { 30 comments }Okay. I don’t know how those of you who live in places where winter weather is the norm do it. We’ve only been dealing with snow and ice for three days and I am over it. The winter weather is driving me to extreme actions. Yesterday I bought a space heater because all the classes [...]

A Short Work Week and 2011 Planning
December 29, 2010 { 9 comments }I’m back in action from Charlotte. We made our way back yesterday fueled by a Starbucks stop. Soy Skinny Vanilla Latte with one pump of vanilla. I used to love skinny vanilla lattes but now even with only one pump, I find them WAY too sweet. Regardless, this gave me the caffeine boost I needed [...]

Slowly Recovering (with the help of good food!)
October 4, 2010 { 4 comments }I’m slowly recovering from yesterday’s 20-miler. The first step was ice bath, hot shower and food. The second step involved me sitting on the couch from 2:30-7:30 p.m. without moving. I blogged, watched Grey’s Anatomy and ate peanut butter chocolate chip bars. It was glorious. Around 6:30 my legs said, “beer me.” I had a [...]

Fun with Shaksuka
September 21, 2010 { 9 comments }I am lucky that my husband is totally willing to try crazy ethnic vegetarian recipes that I put on our weekly menu plan. We may struggle about my desire to go 100% vegetarian but at least we’ve come to a good compromise and only cook meat/seafood at home a few nights a week. This week’s [...]

Three Square Meals
July 21, 2010 { 5 comments }I am a three square meals a day kind of girl. I wasn’t always like this and I won’t even share with you some of the things I considered to be breakfast and lunch in my younger days! ;) I am also a very scheduled eater. I don’t like to eat breakfast too late for [...]

Soda is bad, Eddie is good
April 22, 2010 { 7 comments }Hope everyone had a fabulous Wednesday. We’re on the downhill slope to the weekend! In case you’re wondering, my late night snack Tuesday ended up being a mug of hot chocolate with marshmallows. It was rainy and cool last night and the hot chocolate totally hit the spot. I started my morning out with banana [...]
