Went to the gym today over the lunch hour – was planning on doing some yoga. As I stepped outside the sun felt so warm and nice I decided I would do yoga outside. So I went into the gym, which was freezing of course, changed, then walked around behind the building where there is [...]

Terrible mood today – hubby and I are trying to plan a vacation to Italy and the flight just aren’t working out. Ugh, I just wish we had started to plan this earlier, and read all the small print. And dieting is making us both grumpy. Had to do youga at lunch – it helped. [...]

I have become “that girl” – the one who wears a sports bra to yoga. I never though I would be one of those girls, but its so hot in the studio (I go to a heated Vinyasa flow practice) one day I just wore the sports bra. I love it. I don’t have fabulous [...]
