Monday in the Life + Scenes from the Weekend
April 27, 2015 { 3 comments }Monday is always a crazy but fun start to the week for me. I train clients at 5:30 and 6:30 a.m. and then head to the studio to teach at 8:15 a.m. and usually take the class after to get my practice out of the way while I’m already sweaty. I shower and head back [...]

Rained Out + Recent Eats
September 17, 2014 { 23 comments }Last night was a little bit of a let down. I had plans to see Kings of Leon with some friends but the weather was not cooperating. Our seats were on the lawn and there was an 80% chance of storms and a hazardous weather warning. We decided to chance it anyway and drove to [...]

Desperation and Tacos
November 7, 2012 { 10 comments }This has been the week of desperation meals after a tragic event on Sunday night.

Slacking, Working, Talking
October 8, 2010 { 4 comments }I was not feeling bright eyed and bushy tailed (what does bushy tailed even mean anyway?) when my alarm went off at 5:30 this morning. Despite being physically exhausted, I could not sleep last night. I was wide awake until about 1 a.m. before finally dozing off. I hate sleep issues. I hit the snooze [...]
