Good morning!

Some bloggers do these “coffee talk” posts where they conversationally write leading with, “if we were having coffee right now, I’d share…”

But sadly, my coffee is empty. So we’ll just chat.

8.20virginia

I had a sweaty and tearful start to my day. I taught my 6 a.m. and it was my friend Virginia’s last class before she leaves for college. I started mentoring Virginia about a year and a half ago after she finished teacher training (she was our youngest TT graduate ever!) and what started out as a professional relationship morphed into a very special friendship. I’m so proud of her as she enters this next chapter of her life.

Speaking of teacher training, I can’t even begin to tell you how excited I am to officially be co-leading my first 200-hour starting in January. We are running a super early bird special with an amazing discount for anyone that commits before September 1. You can get the details on our website and let me know if you have any questions about teacher training!

8.20acaibowl

Yesterday Virginia and I had our last “friend date” and met for a crazy tough workout at Madabolic and then checked out Charlotte’s new acai bowl truck after. I’ve been doing Madabolic with her for the last couple of weeks (after she begged me for months to go with her) and it’s been a great change of pace. I’ve really enjoyed the workouts!

8.20sullie2

Quick update on the pup front…Sullie has been her usual angelic self.

She is just the sweetest!

8.20zoey

And here’s Zoey in a rare moment of calm. She is still all kinds of puppy and her latest trick is jumping on the guest bed…with her ball…and making herself comfortable. She’s cuddling with my fiance’s 14 year old pug in this pic. He is obsessed with Zoey and wants to be close to her all the time even though she torments him on a daily basis.

8.20blueapron

I have been enjoying Blue Apron this week. It’s such a treat to come home and know exactly what’s for dinner and to have all the ingredients on hand. I’ll be sharing all of this week’s Blue Apron meals in another post soon!

In the world of social media, I am trying to embrace two new apps. First, SnapChat. If you want to connect you can find me @jendecurtins. SnapChat confuses the crap out of me but my goal is to start chatting and posting stories!

Second, Periscope.  You can find me @jdecurtins. I am excited about this one because I love video! I can’t wait to share all sorts of fun yoga, fitness, golden retriever-related broadcasts! I’m currently trying to get brave enough to do my first broadcast!

I’d love to hear back from you! What’s going on in your world right now? Are you using SnapChat or Periscope?

Goodbye Sweet Zoey

Goodbye Sweet Zoey

I am sitting down to write this post with teary eyes and a heavy heart. On New Year’s Eve we said goodbye to Zoey. It seems like only yesterday that I brought this fluffy nugget home. Many of you have been here with me since Zoey was a puppy. She was the sweetest little sister [...]

Thankful in Florida

Thankful in Florida

I am settled in back at home after a very special Thanksgiving in Florida. I cherish all of our trips to Florida but this one was extra meaningful because we had a bigger holiday crew this year. My cousin’s family came down and it was just the best to have a big tableful of people [...]

Every Woman’s Marathon Scottsdale Recap (marathon #4!!!)

I am on a three-hour flight home from Scottsdale so it seems like the perfect time to relive and recap yesterday’s Every Woman’s Marathon experience. I had a great day and I’m very proud of the race that I ran. It was a practice in “fun running” and that not every race effort has to [...]
