Zombie run = normal run with a plate held out in front Pumpkin Smash = ball slams Candy Bag Carries = dumbbell famer walks Pica Boos = pull ups Gremlin Crawls = [...]

Humbled By Helen
August 7, 2012 { 24 comments }I tackled Helen for the first time yesterday. It doesn’t look so bad, right? I breezed right through the run and the kettlebell swings but the pull ups were a different story. I decided going into the WOD that I was going to do the pull ups unassisted, no matter what. It was the first [...]

Food Hate To Food Love
February 6, 2012 { 74 comments }Good morning and happy Monday! I hope that your week is off to a great start and that Super Bowl Sunday was fun. My Monday started the way that they all have for the past two years…with a 5 a.m. wake-up call to teach BodyPump. Even though I sometimes arrive to teach class a bit [...]

So Much Yoga
February 2, 2012 { 15 comments }It’s been a yoga-rific week. Over the past three days I have taught ELEVEN classes/privates. While I love yoga with all my heart, I do not even want to say the words “inhale upward facing dog, exhale downward facing dog” right now. And I’ve only been able to personally practice one day this week and [...]

Sunday Perfection
January 22, 2012 { 27 comments }Here’s what Sunday at my grandmother’s house looks like… Sleep until 9 a.m. Stumble (literally) out of bed and downstairs to make coffee and maple oatmeal scones for breakfast. Thanks to my sleep-induced stupor and an incorrect recipe, scones turn out a huge failure. (Look how flat the first batch was on plate above!) Perfectionism [...]

Happy To Be Here
January 21, 2012 { 17 comments }Hello from Georgia! Sullie and I arrived at my grandmother’s house around 1 p.m. and she has been glued to Mema’s side ever since! Backing up…I made it out of bed around 6:45 this morning and promptly made breakfast and worked on some blog stuff. I have been on such a bagel kick lately. I [...]

Loving Lately
November 28, 2011 { 20 comments }Soup. Specifically Earth Fare’s Carrot Ginger. Addicted. I am so cold natured and once it gets cold out all I want is hot. Hot soup. Hot oatmeal. Hot yoga. Hot showers. M83. Brandon left this French band’s CD in my car and I am obsessed. Some of it is a little mainstream but most of [...]

Chocolaty or Fruity?
October 26, 2011 { 25 comments }Don’t judge. I’m currently blogging from bed and it’s only 6 p.m. For the past few nights I’ve only been averaging 5ish hours of sleep and that’s just not cutting it. I was hoping to take a nap but Brandon came home and then I got to chatting with him. Regardless, it feels good just [...]

An Exercise in Letting Go
October 17, 2011 { 18 comments }I hope that Monday has been kind to you. I realize that I am in the minority but I love Mondays. I love the start of a new week and the opportunity to take control over setting the tone for the week. That said, my Monday wasn’t totally easy breezy…because sometimes they just aren’t. I [...]

An Exercise in Patience
March 30, 2011 { 14 comments }Tonight I attended my least favorite yoga class that is offered at my studio – Long, Slow, Deep. In LSD you warm up with a little bit of standing flow and then move to the floor for loooooonnnngggg holds (3-5 minutes) in the poses. I think I’ve completed a grand total of maybe five LSD [...]

February 20, 2011 { 11 comments }We’re back home in Charlotte after a wonderful weekend in South Georgia with our friends. I so needed this time with them. I feel so happy, recharged and relaxed. Saturday was a perfect day full of good food, beautiful weather and chatting. Cristen had a nice lunch planned of white bean soup with roasted red [...]

Monday Madness
January 24, 2011 { 14 comments }What a day. That’s the best way I can describe it right now. I was really wound up from the weekend last night and didn’t make it to bed until around midnight (way late for me). A short five hours later, my alarm went off to make it to the Y to teach BodyPump. I’ll [...]
