Fitness Fridays // getting Pretty Muddy!

January 18, 2013

When I manifested my dreams for this year, I put a lot of energy and thought into what I need more of in my life. More health, more fun, more smiles. More running. I went from working out nearly everyday, to getting pregnant. Turns out nothing is providing me with more motivation like my post-baby [...]

Fitness Fridays // on being OK

January 11, 2013

I’ve been exhausted all week. I tried to get up early for a morning yoga class every day this week, but it just didn’t happen. The class is at 6am. And I would need to wake up at 4am to pump and get ready. Blah. Yeah that just didn’t happen. Instead of stressing about the [...]

bonjour, 2012!

January 2, 2012

I don’t usually make a resolution for the New Year. But this year is… different. I feel like I got off track last year; like I was going through the motions, but not actually being in the moment. And in the spirit of beginnings {don’t say ‘new beginnings’ — every beginning is new, [...]

the professor and the jar.

April 22, 2011

Tweet I have some {or a lot of} anxiety when it comes to my schedule and to-do list. I always feel busy. I can never get everything done, and there is always so much going on. It’s easy to get overwhelmed at the thought of it. One of the ways that I try and take [...]

on being a healthier me.

March 22, 2011

Back in the day I used to post a lot about healthy food and exercise. Somewhere along the way of moving back to Ohio, I just stopped writing about food and exercise. That’s not to say that I wasn’t eating healthy and working out, I just quit writing about it. But I think it’s important [...]

where have i been?

March 19, 2011

Where have I been? Where have these last couple of months gone?! Seriously. Well I’ve been so absent not only because I started my new (old) job, but because life in general has been out of control busy! On top of that, I’ve been fighting off some sort of sickness. I’ve been working, working out [...]

not all hot yoga is created equal.

December 1, 2010

When we vacationed in Denver last week, I was unable to fit my Jade yoga mat in my luggage, but managed to squeeze my Yogitoes non-slip mat-sized towel into my carry on with hopes that I would have the luxury of trying out a studio in Denver. On Tuesday we drove passed a Core Power [...]

still caffeine free!

November 20, 2010

Yesterday I indulged in my first post-cleanse Starbucks beverage. It was a tall non-fat decaf pumpkin spice latte. It was warm and delicious, but not nearly as awesome as a regular non-fat latte. Perhaps due to my water-only intake, I’ve been thinking a lot about caffeine in recent weeks. My body has felt so much [...]

Woo hoo!! I made it! Our four week detox program is complete! I am proud to say that I have gone four full weeks on only water and food. No coffee. No diet coke. No Starbucks run at lunch. No caffeine whatsoever. And zero alcohol for four weeks. That being said, I feel amazing. My [...]
