Brain Bombs: Canine Edition
I see people with their dog babies at dog parks, on the beach, off leash, pulling skateboards (which is awesome by the way!) walking with dogs who don’t pull, bark or generally act like lunatics when they see other dogs. Enter our 3 dog babies. Shortly after we had adopted Hippo, someone came by (as… Continue reading

You Never Know
Feeling a bit “meh” lately about life, I loaded up the kids and headed to teach spin at the gym. We are in our routine, and I’m loving working with people, but there are times when it’s very redundant. People ask for fitness and health advice, but then glaze over when you don’t offer up… Continue reading

Faking It
A-hem. Not that kind of faking. I had a conversation with a friend the other day who hasn’t seen me in person for over 6 or 7 months. After posting some silliness from a dress up day at work, the conversation drifted to something along theses lines: “By the way, you look amazing…You were already looking… Continue reading

Tiny Human Advice
“My wife is really wanting a baby. She’s been showing me how ‘masculine’ diaper bags have become,” he said. I smile. “But I’m like, ‘Does that fit my Camaro or motorcycle?’” he continued, “I just don’t know.” I nodded. “You’ll never be ready. No one is,” I assured him. “But the first time you look… Continue reading

Brain Bombs and Power
I fired off an email to a friend/mentor of mine after having an off week. In training people, it is much the same as in training yourself. There are excuses, days where you just aren’t feeling it, and many, many qualifiers. Qualifiers typically go something like this: Client: “I wish I could lose weight faster. I’m working… Continue reading

Breaking Up and Swinging
There is a movement within the fitness industry. A more healthful approach in my opinion. Fit2point0, for example, is a group of likeminded fitness professionals whose mission it is to bring health back to fitness. To be inclusive. To encourage ALL body types to move, nourish with real food and feel amazing. There are a million… Continue reading

You, Amplified.
Walking the dogs yesterday and today, we’ve been working through some issues. One of the littles tends to be a little on the “worrier/alarmist” side. If another dog is out and about, she’s whining and pulling trying to defend her turf. Or me. Or her two bros. In our backyard we have a boxer neighbor… Continue reading

New Year’s Wish
It’s another new year and of course all the “new year, new you” stuff is flying fast and furious. Yes, it’s a new year. Yes, there are 365 days to write your next chapter. It is awesome. We all have the power to effect positive changes, though – any time we choose. We don’t need… Continue reading

Soup Saturday
After teaching spin this morning and training a few clients, I decided to turn this dreary rainy weather into food prep day so we’d have delicious meals ready to roll through the week. There is nothing quite like a road trip to remind us why home cooked food is awesome! Yesterday I made this yumminess:… Continue reading

Flow
Like any good road trip/family vacation, there are nuggets of joy tucked in amongst the agony of the drive, the “are we there yets?” and the hustle and bustle of traveling during the holidays. We’ve been able to see Eric’s family, celebrate Christmas, and even Santa came and delivered his goods in our hotel room!… Continue reading
