I don’t know if you have figured this out yet, but I love being pushed to the point of nausea in my workouts. I know that is strange. I am absolutely in the minority when I say I am jealous of the first workout you see on Biggest Loser. To me it is a sign [...][...]

Figure 4 at Pure Yoga
I was never that good at ballet. My body didn’t turn and twist the way it was supposed to, and I swear my short stature had everything to do with it. So I stayed pretty far away from barre classes, aside from the occasional barre ride at Revolve. Then a few weeks ago while in [...][...]
Cherry Blossom Yoga

Traveling Sets Me Back
When I go to NYC for work, I usually chalk that week up to a wash on my healthy routines. I don’t sleep that well in the hotel room, I tend to miss exercising, and I eat pretty much every meal out. After almost 10 months of making the bi-monthly commute I’ve been trying to [...][...]

Exercise=More Excited and Enthusiastic Laney
The last two weeks have been one of those weeks where I am too stressed to function at life. Here’s an image for that…I am pretty sure the only thing that got me to change my clothing was the fact that I had to go into the office. It was an effort picking out clothes [...][...]
Losing My Running Skirt Virginity
We have a winner, and that winner is CARMEN!!! Using random.org Carmen was selected to receive a running skirt to test out. Here’s a confession for you. In the height of NYC and DC summers I am a frequent visitor of the baby product aisle, purchasing Desitin like a baby who can’t get[...]

Saluting to the Sun on the Bay
I spent last weekend in San Diego, which meant amazing weather and gorgeous views of the bay. While my husband learned about boring tax lawyer things, I had the opportunity to walk around and take advantage of said gorgeous weather. I haven’t been able to practice yoga outside in a long time a[...]
