Breaks from Work

March 7, 2016

I'm still plugging away at the YBC Book. I have about 15% left to do and then I need to go through the manuscript and choose where I want the lifestyle shots. This has been such a challenging yet creative and fun process for me.

Workout Wednesday: Maintaining Progress

February 24, 2016

We're back with another Workout Wednesday and I have to be honest - over the past few months this has easily become one of my favorite series. This journey has been a really great learning process and I've enjoyed connecting with you guys and sharing my ups and downs along the way.

I recently received the following question and I thought I'd take the opportunity in answering it to share an update about maintaining the progress I'd made:

Life Lessons at 32

February 15, 2016

Today's my birthday. I turn 32 and I couldn't be happier about it. To my younger readers, your thirties are where. it's. at. I've never been happier, and all my friends in their thirties say the same thing. I think it's because you're just suddenly more comfortable with who you are.

I've learned a lot in the past few years as I regained my health, got in the best shape of my life, embarked on this business venture, and made a lot of wild dreams come true. I am so grateful for my journey and I thought I'd share some of my top life lessons thus far. Some are silly, some are more serious, yet all have served me well, and I hope they speak to you, too.

Las Vegas Recap

January 22, 2016

As you know, we were recently in Las Vegas las week for the main studio photoshoot for our upcoming book. We thought we'd do a full behind the scenes post to share how it all went down. Thanks so much for your continued support! The book should be out in the fall of 2016 and I'll keep you updated when there is a pre-order link available.

How I Got in the Best Shape of My Life

January 20, 2016

Early this fall, when I signed the book deal, I felt I was in decent shape, but with the photoshoot for the book scheduled for the winter, I wanted to be in great shape. I wanted to build upper body strength to help support my handstands and arm balances, and I wanted to lean out just a little bit. My journey has only been from the middle of October to now - the middle of January, so under three months, but I've been able to meet my goals and what I learned along the way was surprising and left me feeling the absolute best I've ever felt. I'm in the best shape of my life, and - most importantly - feel the best I've ever felt in terms of energy, strength and stress levels.
