My BodyPump class was rocking tonight! We had about 40 participants – amazing! I’m so happy that the January crowd is sticking around (plus all of my awesome regulars!). It’s been great. There was one minor bump in the road…I got all suited up with my belt and mic, got the class in set position [...]

Preparation
October 27, 2010 { 14 comments }I’m in full Marine Corps Marathon prep mode. There’s a detailed list (that’s a little dirty – it’s been living in the kitchen!) and I’ve started laying everything out in our extra room. Also, I’m prepping my body with food and beverages.

Obsessions and a Tempo Run
September 15, 2010 { 12 comments }Some news (nothing life changing, don’t get excited)… I am officially obsessed with The Rachel Zoe Project. How have I never watched this show before last night?

Deficient
September 14, 2010 { 3 comments }I mentioned last week that I had blood work done just as a check. It had been years since I’d been thoroughly tested and given my recent activity level and diet I thought it was a good idea. I received a call from the nurse today that everything looked great but I am vitamin D [...]

A Weird Week
September 9, 2010 { 5 comments }The short week has really thrown me for a loop. On top of having one less day to get everything accomplished, we’ve also just had a lot going on and work has been really busy. As a result, I’ve felt a little off my game. One of the things I’m stressing most about this week [...]
