  • The Bonds of Fitness

    I hit up a boxing class last night and then headed to Ashburn CrossFit this morning to workout with a dear friend I havent seen in over five years. I have written about Lidia previously and what an inspiration and kickass chick she is. It’s one of the greatest things about finding my fitness passion –…

  • Bring Quality PE Back To Schools: La Sierra High PE

    NPR just published Learning To Move, Moving To Learn: The Benefits Of PE – encouraging schools and communities to bring back real PE classes. It’s no secret that “neuro-cognitive development is associated with exercise and can benefit from exercise”, so why aren’t we demanding that our children get more exercise?? Watch the video below that highlights the La…

  • Solidcore: Pilates on Steroids

    I know I’ve been a bit behind in posting new updates for everyone. Real in person life has gotten busy – which is not necessarily a bad thing! The next few posts will give you an idea of what I have been up to… Saturday and Sunday, I did two a day workouts. Not because…

  • Let’s Talk About Gluten Sensitivity

    People ask me why I limit how much food I eat that contains gluten.  When I eat gluten I don’t feel well.  I become fatigued, my eczema starts to flare (which is also connected to eating dairy), and I start to gain weight.  I even find that my migraines come back when I eat too much. I…

  • When is it good enough?

    There are just not enough hours in the day to get everything I want done lately. I had almost a year ‘off’ from the corporate life, which meant that I could take care of things on the regular. Now that I am back working full time, in an office, it has been challenging to adjust…

  • Valentine’s Day: Love Seeks Real Moments

    This weekend is Valentine’s Day if you didn’t already know.  My friend shared this really meaningful post this morning: The One True Thing About the Perfect Valentine’s Date that I want everyone to read.  “Love doesn’t seek a perfect moment; it seeks a real moment.” There is no such thing as a fairy tale marriage. No relationship…

  • It’s Not About The Food

    Today marks my third week at my new gig and although I am still very green with knowledge, I’m feeling at home. There is a ton of work to be done and I have the opportunity to make a real difference to the company. I was thinking this weekend, that I feel better. I’m starting…

  • Burnout: A Break Can Re-inspire

    While I love boxing, I find that I am missing lifting big time. There is something about lifting a barbell that speaks to me. It’s been almost seven months since I have lifted consistently and my shoulders have all but recovered. To help satisfy my lifting bug, I joined CrossFit Ashburn. I have decided that…

  • Happy New Year 2015: Let’s Get Uncomfortable

    It’s been a good thing for me to step back and really just breathe the past two weeks. I had some family in town, got to enjoy some unencumbered downtime, got my fitness on and just allowed myself to “BE’. There are some big changes in store for me this month that I will share in…

  • Blast Motion: Blast Athletic Performance Smart Video Capture

    One of the unplanned perks of my blog is that nice business owners send me products or samples from time to time to try out. I get lots of offers for products and I definitely pick and choose which ones I accept. If it doesn’t align with what I believe or am about – then I…
