Weight Watchers Update //
I’m at my lowest weight since Remy was born. Not my goal weight, but significantly closer. I’m down 30.5 pounds since I started WW last November. It’s a good feeling and I’ve been working my booty off to achieve it.
I know I’ve said it before, but I’ll say it again — I love that with WW I can still enjoy things like donuts because I’m not ‘counting calories.’ I mean, I’m not eating donuts everyday; but, gosh darnit, I’ll eat a donut every so often if I want to! 🙂
Oh, and HUGE shoutout to Pink Blush for making me feel gorgeous in this amazing dress!
Workouts //
I’ve consistently been working out (and earning those WW Fit Points!). I’m a little sad to say my workouts have consisted of very few runs. I just… I just… haven’t been feeling it. Especially not in the crazy heat.
In addition, I’ve hit up several yoga classes. I have to admit, I’ve been really missing yoga. When I’m on my mat, I’m in the zone. I feel strong and confident and powerful. And then I’ll go weeks without a yoga class for no reason other than it hasn’t really fit into my schedule. Bummer, bro.
Coaching Gymnastics //
So I’m definitely not tumbling. Ha! But stretching and conditioning with these girls is making a noticeable difference in my core strength and flexibility. It’s been nice to build relationships and workout with these young gymnasts — and we both are building confidence in ourselves! Win-win!
PS. If you’re local to Akron and are looking to enroll your child in gymnastics, email me and I’ll let you know which classes I’m teaching! 🙂
A BIG Cycling Update //
I’m really excited to share this with you! My love of cycling has grown tremendously over the last year. And I’m happy to say that in October I’m going to get certified as an indoor cycling instructor!
How did you do with your health and fitness goals this Summer?!

Whoa, congrats! That’s awesome! Does the Y do day/class passes like the Nat does? I’d love to attend one of your classes.
Kira
That’s amazing and so inspiring! I’ve been trying to start working out and eating better since I had my daughter. Hearing about your progress is motivating!

Congrats girl! 30 lbs is not easy to lose! I’m down the exact same amount, 30.5 since April last year. It’s hard work, but so worth it. Keep at it girl, you’ve got this!
Katelyn Anderson
You go, girl! Cycling is one of the only exercises I actually enjoy. You’ve definitely motivated me!
Christine Keys
Go you! I so need to get back into things but have been trying to get my iron levels back up since having my second child. Now that I have my normal amount of energy back, I’m much more motivated to try.
Jaynie
It’s awesome you have kept up the workouts this Summer. It’s always a challenge when we get out of our routine and also go to BBQ’s all the time. Good luck with your certification! I loved indoor cycling for years until my neck had issues.

Omg we just got a Duck Donuts here in Kissimmee! Holy amazing. MY favorite is the blueberry icing with coconut shavings on top. Drooling over here over that salad you had as well. Congratulations on losing 30 pounds, thats AMAZING!
