Perfect early morning coffee sipping activity! :) To snack on… This artichoke spinach “hommus” from Cedar’s. So tasty! These crackers from Glutino. I tried this brand a few months [...]

Playlist + Bachelorette + Food
October 13, 2013 { 24 comments }I hope that you all enjoyed your weekend. The highlight of mine was definitely my presentation to the gymnasts on Saturday along with my friend Lina’s bachelorette. I did nothing on Friday night. I just made the granola bars and sat on the couch with some cheese, wine and a bowl of soup. I was [...]

October 10, 2013 { 15 comments }http://oascentral.blogher.org/RealMedia/ads/adstream_jx.ads/SocialBoom/OID5175_GreenMountain_Q3-Q4_SocialBoom_073/@x13http://ads.blogherads.com/75/7551/campaigns/13/1342/1342743/x93.js Good morning! I had an early wake up call for a 6 a.m. client. It’s always tough to get out of bed when the alarm goes off in the five o’clock hour but once I’m up, I love it. Early morning has always been the most productive time of the day for me. When [...]

Sweet Sullie + Yoga Love + Run Inspiration
September 16, 2013 { 8 comments }I hope your week is off to a wonderful start! Sullie’s certainly is! She has been camped out in my office playing with her toys…one of her favorite things to do is play with multiple toys at one time. Today it’s laying on her duck while she chews her bone. I cannot tell you how [...]

My First Mumford!
September 13, 2013 { 31 comments }Several weeks ago some of my girlfriends decided to get a group together to journey down to Simpsonville, South Carolina for the sold out Mumford & Sons concert. We gladly overpaid for tickets on Stub Hub and started making plans. It started with just four of us but before we knew it our group doubled [...]

OneRepublic in Charlotte
August 18, 2013 { 12 comments }I have been playing a lot of music from OneRepublic’s new album in my yoga classes. I didn’t even know that I liked them so much until recently. I honestly had no idea that they sing that song Apologize and I’ve liked it for years! I heard on the radio on Thursday evening that they [...]

Currently…
July 7, 2013 { 42 comments }Currently… – The only workout I feel like doing or can get excited about is yoga. I need it in a bad way right now. I’ve done one strength workout in 2 weeks. Running requires extreme amounts of mental motivation. I did it on vacation because it was my only choice but other than that…nada. [...]

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. It’s kind of a crazy story…Andy played at the studio three years ago when it first opened to all of about 10 people. The studio was lucky to have 5 people in a class [...]

Friday Funday {Food, Music and Things to Read}
April 26, 2013 { 13 comments }Good morning and happy Friday! I had a 6 a.m. client today so I found myself wandering the aisles of Harris Teeter at 5:45 a.m. to restock my breakfast supply that I keep at work for these early mornings. I left with a Chobani Banana (really liking this new 2% flavor) and two products that [...]

Til I Collapse
March 29, 2013 { 14 comments }I find music to be incredibly motivating when it comes to workouts. There have been studies that show that music can increase performance and enhance endurance. While I can sometimes listen to audio books, podcasts or nothing at all when I run outside, music is a non-negotiable for me when I’m working out in the gym. [...]

Christmas…Postponed
December 25, 2012 { 8 comments }My mom called on Saturday with news that my dad has the flu. We always have Christmas at my grandmother’s house in Georgia but my parents didn’t think it was the best thing to make my dad sit in the car for six hours and then bring his germs to family Christmas. So…Christmas is postponed [...]

Listen Up
August 30, 2012 { 21 comments }Food has been a little boring. Peanut butter, honey and banana on a gluten-free Trader Joe’s frozen waffle. I am loving using these as an alternative to toast in the morning. Thanks to whoever recommended the TJs brand. I like it better than Van’s. Leftover Mexican Quinoa. I can’t get enough. This stuff is so [...]

The Soundtrack Of My Life
July 31, 2012 { 50 comments }After yesterday’s post about workout music I thought to myself, “they might think I have terrible taste in music.” Pop, dance and club remixes certainly have their place when I’m working out, running or teaching but they are not the soundtrack of my life. Far from it…the soundtrack of my life is actually more “cook [...]

Workout Motivation – A Playlist And New Music Sources
July 30, 2012 { 25 comments }I don’t know about you but the Olympics sure are motivating me to work extra hard in the gym. Yesterday’s workout involved lots of fun with kettlebells, sled pushes and dragging a plate across the turf by walking on my hands. It was amazing and I am so sore today! I find a killer playlist [...]

Pizza And The Biebs
June 19, 2012 { 55 comments }Thanks for the great feedback on yesterday’s yoga post. And thanks again to Brittany for the inspiration. :) I really enjoy writing posts that aren’t so “this is what I ate, this is the workout I did today” so it was a fun one for me! Now, back to “this is what I ate.” Ha. [...]

Thursday Fun Day with Food and The Civil Wars
December 8, 2011 { 12 comments }Today has been a good day. Started with an early morning ashtanga practice followed by a peanut butter and jelly smoothie and a yoga private with my amazing client who touched his toes with straight legs this week for the first time since his teenage years. Happy heart. Peanut butter and jelly smoothie = peanut [...]

Whiggin' Out
September 11, 2010 { 8 comments }Brandon loves coming up with titles for my posts – I will admit that he is much more creative than me and usually spits one out in about two seconds. I just go with it so I don’t have to think about it any more. ;) Last night we saw The Whigs, The Black Keys [...]

Good Food + Good Tunes
September 7, 2010 { 25 comments }Whew, this has been a busy day and I’m gearing up for the rest of the week to be the same way. So much going on – but all good stuff! I subbed a BodyPump class after work and then booked it over to Y2 to squeeze in a quick ashtanga practice. So grateful that [...]

AthFest Day 1
June 26, 2010 { 1 comment }Hello from Athens, Georgia! On the way to Athens I had a Synergy Kombucha. We received a warm welcome last night when we arrived at Drew and Natalie’s house with friends, dinner and drinks waiting on us. Natalie and Drew prepared quite a spread for dinner. Edamame dip. Whole wheat couscous with red bell pepper, [...]
