Today I flew…. I went to aerial yoga this evening, completely out of my comfort zone!  It was the most exciting, best and coolest thing I’ve ever done.  I flipped, I climbed and I cannot wait to go again!  It was a silks intro class, where I learned to control […]

Today I flew. Onward and Upward – Embracing Change.

Hotel. Gyms. Suck! They are weak!  Full of cardio equipment and 1 run of DBs… with a sprinkle of some random things.  My gym this week has a sprinkle of exercise balls, 1 yoga mat, some tumbling mats (??) (I have questions) and a jump rope.  In the past this […]

Hotel. Gyms. Suck. Make your fitness work for you…

Mobility. Flexibility. Yoga. Crow Pose. The amazing full body workout, it works arms and core while strengthening wrists, upper back and legs.  Crow Pose stretches the upper back, helping to decrease heart burn and acidity, and increases the flexibility and elasticity of the spine. Crow Pose also encourages body awareness […]

Crow Pose, we meet again!

This week I am practicing my 3Rs; relax, recharge and restart. Relax, make or become less tense or anxious. Recharge, restore an electric charge to by connecting it to a device that draws power from another source of electricity. Restart, start again.  A new start or beginning. Why this week […]

Toxic workplaces, aren’t worth it.

Diet. Dieting. Such a harsh word. I choose to call it a lifestyle. Food is of course important to life, duh!  But if there is anything I’ve learned having Lupus and being a competitor who has to cut weight, sometimes very drastically; eating the right things is key.  There are […]

Food. You can’t out exercise bad eating habits.

Yesterday I rode a bike. Yup, a bike. Might not seem like a big deal to most, but it’s been a long time since I’ve been on a bike.  Aside from the fear, the last time I rode I was in a lil accident; there is the lack of mobility.  […]

Deadlift. It does a body good!

Accept. Acceptance. Acceptance, a person’s assent to the reality of a situation, recognizing a process or condition (sometimes a negative or uncomfortable situation) without attempting to change it or protest it. Accepting the gift. Acceptance, approval of themselves to another. Acceptance, an act of believing or assenting. Today’s yoga practice […]

Accept yourself. Never forget what you are capable of, ...

Flexible. Capable of bending easily without breaking. Able to be easily modified to respond to altered circumstances or conditions. Ready and able to change so as to adapt to different circumstances. Yoga, Day 4 of the 30-day challenge; has me in knots! Hee Hee! I used to love yoga, Hot […]

Stretch and breathe, relax the muscles and focus on yourself.

Why be moody when you can shake your booty! This was a great meme to see this afternoon, and before my leg day!  There is nothing like shaking your groove thing to shake off the day.  So much happens in our days that we need to shake off and let […]

Shake, Shake, Shake…. Shake your booty!

Secrecy. I’ve been watching WAY TOO MUCH Pretty Little Liars the last couple days. The main theme there is secrecy, each main character has at least one major secret that they are afraid to tell. Fear. Fear of people knowing, this is what binds them together as a group. The […]

It’s World Lupus Day! Share, Speak Up, and Stand ...
