Another busy day bites the dust! I was working over an hour away from my office today so I spent a lot of time in the car…..a lot. Truthfully, I am faced with this about once a month in my current position and it’s really not so bad. These things tend to be what you [...]

Hellooooo and Happy Wednesday! I can genuinely say today has been a good day despite the overwhelming morning/afternoon I had at the office. Sometimes it feels like everyone decides to call me all at the same time with something that needed to be fixed yesterday. Luckily I plowed through it all like a champ! This [...]

After [...]

My first yoga class of 2012 and what can I say? First, I hate myself just a little for taking a 3 week break from Bikram. I know better than that. Bikram yoga is really amazing but its also really tricky in a way. When you go regularly your body craves it. That feeling of [...]

Im different. I am not the typical “healthy living blogger”. I can admit freely now that I am not a healthy weight (yet) nor have I ever put tofu in my mouth that I am aware of. I cant fathom running a full marathon, training for a triathlon, or finding time to grow my own veggies (although [...]

Tonight I am at 29 and counting and that is not referring to my age! Rather, I am referring to day 29 of my 30 day yoga challenge. Despite travel, work, fatigue, and a couple incredible hardships I have successfully completed 29 classes in 29 days. Tomorrow will be day, and class, number 30. Obviously [...]

Welcome Fall!! Fall weather is officially kicking in with a vengeance here in Virginia though I am not complaining. I for one am a fall kind of gal. Even the most boring drive to run errands is incredibly beautiful this time of year. With the leaves changing and the bluest skies Ive ever seen in [...]
