Hi all!! I've been so busy these past few weeks with work and family stuff that I haven't had time to check in. Hope everyone is doing well; I known I suck for being MIA!! Made the mistake of sleeping in this morning and went for a run around 8:45, in 90 degree weather. I was tired about two minutes into the run, but I…

Happy end of July! It's crazy how fast this summer is flying by. Congrats to your husband! My dad has a desk job too, and it's definitely not great for your back and can even encourage mindless grazing. It's great that he'll be able to move around more. Got up this morning to see I was in the 140s! I generally don't set…

Lol I saw that belly dancing video! I think it would take way more coordination than I possess!! But definitely see if you like Zumba, I know it was really fun in a big group class. Ah, I know it's hard to juggle the game on top of everything else that's going on! It really helps to have people messaging me to check in…

Nice, Alisa! I'm training for my second degree black belt test next week, which is why this week is like a "cram" session to boost up my endurance. It's a lot of work, but definitely worth it! Glad to know you're a tkd-er too:) While on the topic of similarities: my dad took me back to his gym for a Zumba class! I really…

Alisa, I've heard good things about Zumba! Never tried it myself but I have friends who swear by it. Hope you have fun! Wear something obnoxiously bright;) Tried a new run route today, which was a little more sloping than my last. It'll be good for me this week, as I'm doing a lot more cardio with tae kwon do training, so…

Alisa, sounds delish! And thanks for the suggestion, I'll definitely use that class for the challenge. Today I did the 1000 abs challenge from Blogilates, and am feeling surprisingly ok...I'm anticipating soreness later though! I also found a new yoga series that I love: Psyche Truth. Contrary to its mystical name, the…

Alisa, lol the sleep after a exercise filled day is so sweet! Don't worry too much about losing though, it sounds like you're doing everything right, and most people would envy your muscles!! My dad dragged me to his gym this morning for a power cycle class. I've always been more of an independent exerciser, you know,…

Alisa, that's so cool! San Fran is so beautiful and has so much good food! It's funny how when most people say the "Bay Area" they mean the one in NorCal, but down here it means the South Bay area just south of downtown LA! It makes for a bit of confusion when you're explaining where you're from to someone who isn't in…

Hi girls, Sorry for any worry/confusion I caused. My grandfather passed away and I had to leave suddenly for his service, to Michigan. These last few days have been a bit of a blur, but I found that staying active definitely helped. I got back to LA late last night, and am trying to get back on track with my fitness…

SUPER busy day today (isn't summer supposed to be relaxing??) but I got in a killer arm workout this morning with Pilates. I'm definitely getting better at half cobra push-ups, which get my triceps screaming! Aaaaand today is Friday, and you know what that means: CHOCOLATE! So much love. But I find that it's less of a…

Hey guys! I was SUPER busy yesterday and didn't have time to check in, but it looks like none of us did haha;) Today was the perfect day for running: cloudy, clear air, and zero traffic.

Hey all! Alisa, walking as much as you can is a smart way of sneaking in your exercise without too much stress! Today was ab day, and I think I'm getting stronger, because I usually pull too hard on my neck but not so much today. I tried adding PB and honey to my oatmeal today, and it was delish! Topped off with…

Alisa, glad you enjoyed your solo swim sesh! Swimming is so good for cross training because it's low-stress on your joints. Today's my rest day, and I was glad of it because my ankles are feeling the effects of all the running this week. I got in some yoga this morning, which felt wonderful. I'm a little intimidated by the…

Hi guys! Isabelle, sorry you're hurting, but if it is, as you said, not in a bad way, the soreness is kind of like a badge of honor of all the hard work you're doing. Keep it up! Alisa, every time you talk about your garden I get so hungry! Please do share your recipe for zucchini brownies; I've never heard of them before!…

Hey guys! Isabelle, you do SO much cardio! It's so impressive; I want to work up to that eventually :smile: I got up this morning for my run expecting to feel crazy sore (post booty day remember) and ended up feeling amazing. No soreness, no pain, and best of all, my glutes didn't scream every time I moved. I was perplexed…

Oh DEER, Alisa, I'm so jealous that you got to run into those beautiful creatures!

Happy 4th everyone! Alisa, sounds like a great tradition with your family:) I snuck in a run early this morning, and it was so nice and quiet. The roads were empty, and it was a good way to wake up!

Alisa, congrats on saving up calories for your family meal! It's so hard to resist food at parties, so that's a smart way of going about it. I get so grumpy when I skip meals, so kudos to you for finding the best of both worlds! So I'm not a weight lifter or anything, so I don't measure my progress by how much I press.…
