I love UBarre and this is from a girl who LOVES cardio. I know, most people start a blog post about exercise explaining why they hate running or can’t stand spin. But that’s not really me, at all. I’ve realized that when I work out I like to feel a little overwhelmed. I… Continue reading UBarre Sacramento

Tone It Up Meal Plan | Week 4 Recap
I’m officially halfway through the Tone It Up Bikini Series Plan! I just wrapped up week four, so it’s all downhill from here! The nutritionist who designed the Tone It Up meal plan is really smart (and a little sneaky!) because last week the food was cut down a good amount. It wasn’t horrible, but… Continue reading Tone It Up Meal Plan | Week 4 Recap
listen to your body
You hear it a lot. Learn to listen to your body. When it comes to that, I’m a slow learner. I believe in pushing myself physically. I embrace the idea that my mind will give up long before my body does. That can be great, but like everything in life, there needs to be… Continue reading listen to your body
What do you eat on Tone it up | WEEK 3 RECAP
Just wrapped week three of the Tone It Up Bikini Series. I can’t believe it hasn’t even been a month yet! I’ve gotten into the groove of the eating plan and it really doesn’t feel like a “diet” at all. I think it’s because almost every day I’m eating something new. The plan switches up the… Continue reading What do you eat on Tone it up | WEEK 3 RECAP
Pigeon Pose for Runners
I firmly believe in the importance of stretching every day. I figure if I expect my body to carry me through the day, I can at least give it 5-10 minutes of love so it can do its job well. Mostly, I stretch for the same reasons most people do- to avoid being sore later.… Continue reading Pigeon Pose for Runners

Mid-Year Goal Setting
July 1st is a pretty big deal at my job because it is the start of the fiscal year. Basically the New Year’s Day of the financial world. I handle media relations for a large financial institution, so we report how well we did over the past 12-months. The next few weeks will… Continue reading Mid-Year Goal Setting
staying sober
Each weekday morning my alarm goes off at 4:30 a.m. On the weekends it rings at 6:30 a.m. Either way getting out of bed isn’t that tough at the early hour because I always look forward to where I’m going- Spin Class. Why? Staying sober is always easy, but I definitely credit exercise with helping me… Continue reading staying sober
