  • When nothing else is working…

    Uhh… am I the only one on this planet who is super motivated and completely unmotivated, both at the same time? I’ve tried walking which I used to love and do so often. I’ve tried VR HIIT and BOXING (both great workouts). Of course, I’ve practiced yoga too (duh) but none of these felt very…

  • I can’t even remember life pre-covid

    Covid wasn’t supposed to last thing long, maybe lock-down wasn’t supposed to last this long but here we are, almost 5 months in. It doesn’t look like things are going to clear up that easily either. While I kept using the excuse that when summer is here, I will go for daily walks and regular…

  • My weekend – Before it got REAL!

    Things have gotten real. From the moment, the news about Corona Virus in Seattle, I was nervous about how serious this was and what it would mean for me. I don’t go out much so I wasn’t worried about that but I didn’t feel prepared in any way nor did I know how to avoid…

  • I tried a Float Tub

    I so badly need sleep. I desperately need sleep so much that I’m now going to focus on self care. I want my body to know that I love it so much, it can relax. I have no clue why I’m wide awake at 4 in the morning almost every night for the past 4…

  • Diet Week 1

    I’m making progress! I lost 2 lbs this week which was my goal. Although I don’t love tracking my weight, it seems to be an easy way to make and track progress. My goal has been to lose 2 lbs every week. Weigh in would be Saturdays and I will probably stop trying to lose…

  • End of Year Start Up

    I was going to title this post “End of the Year Wrap-Up” but decided that, I’m actually in the mess of beginning a lot of things. I’m slow to start, but when I do I go deep. Today is Christmas Eve and although, I haven’t been working like crazy all day, I have been very…

  • I really meant to ace the day

    But I only did better than yesterday. I planned my meals, packed them up, I wasn’t supposed to be hungry so no snacks were necessary. I was supposed to finish work, come home and eat a light snack. Then while resting, prepare myself mentally for my workout. Then I was going to work on organizing…

  • Just try it for a few minutes

    I used to have no problems, coming home from a long day of work with a long commute of driving in Southern California, lay out my mat and get to practicing a nice sweaty flow in the living room of my apartment. Sometimes with music and sometimes without. Sometimes Ashtanga (what I could follow any…

  • Not your mama’s self-care!

    Life is crazy. This means that sometimes I can’t always take the best care of myself. It doesn’t mean that I’m just giving zero back to myself, it just means I’m distracted. The body though, has a way of forcing you back into caring. If you listen and reset your sails, you can refocus on…

  • Handstand – Get the extra help with a yoga wheel

    It is no secret that I love to go upside down. I love headstands but it just doesn’t feel great for my neck. I have the feetup which is awesome but I want to MASTER the handstand. I’ve been practicing handstands and really saw an improvement when I started practicing away from the wall. Yes,…
