PC: Kourtney Marie Photography Ringing in 2017, I really want to focus on fitness & health but also personal growth, relationships & mental wellness. This year, I wan to post more workouts, healthy recipes and fun adventures; something you can do with others or for others. Make you better by making others better. Posts that will hopefully: -get you motivated (motivated to dance *of course* talk, take care of relationships, see the world or see your own backyard) -recharge your battery (yours & your phones! snap one picture & put your phone away bc you are already with those that matter) -challenge you (I say it in every barre class I teach "if it doesn't challenge you, it doesn't change you") A top resolution is … [Read more...]
Why Even Bother?
PC: Kourtney Marie Photography Dress: Forever 21 | Bag: Lily Jade c/o | Shoes: Target Ryker's Onesie: Bri Baby Couture c/o | Pacifer Clip: Madeline's Box c/o | Blanket: Max + Moose c/o As you can probably tell, these pictures are kind of old of me and baby boy. Ryker had just turned 3 months old when we took these and now he is over 6 months! Whoops! There's #momlife for ya Speaking of Mom Life - someone the other day said to me 'how do you wear heels and dresses every day?' I seriously laughed in their face. I said, 'please don't even for a second think that I am dressed up how I am on my blog everyday!' {For instance as I type this blog up I am on my couch covered in spit up blogging hastily during nap time wearing Mr. Smith's over … [Read more...]
Moms Tri
Tri Suit c/o Moo Motion Sports The Saturday before Mother's Day I participated in my FIRST Triathlon! It was a sprint tri consisting of 400 meter swim-12 mile bike-5k run I signed up for this race when I was pregnant with Ryker knowing that I would be 5 months post baby and really wanting to set some goals to get back into shape! It was seriously so much fun and I will admit... super hard! I am not a swimmer and honestly fear the water but I love to run and cycle. When I first got in the water I pretty much had an anxiety attack and just focused on one lap at a time till it was finally over and the FUN started! I have fallen in love with cycling and can't wait to get my own road bike to compete with. I finished the race with an quick … [Read more...]
Lake Powell Half Marathon (Take 2!)
Race Shirt & Pants: Beyond Yoga 3 weeks ago I ran my third half marathon! After my first race, I SWORE I would never run a half ever again. (I'm sure it wasn't that only swearing done that day... opps!) Now a year later, here I am 3 half's down and craving more. Just maybe the third time is the charm because after this race I felt amazing! I cut minutes off my time and ended feeling refreshed and accomplished which is very different from the first time feeling nauseated and plain dead. I know that my biggest motivator was my sexy boy running with me. I have to give credit where credit is due, husband agreed to run alongside me and seriously kept me focused and eager to do my best! For anyone wanting to try out a half marathon I … [Read more...]
Devil’s Bridge – Sedona, Arizona
Top: Beyond Yoga | Pants: Old Navy | Shoes: Asics (Mr. Smith) Top: Home Tc/o | Pants: Columbia | Shoes: Asics This weekend we took advantage of the amazing weather and drove up to Sedona, Arizona. One of our favorite ways to get away from the stress of life is to find beauty in nature. I love sleeping in a tent outside under the stars away from the city lights. I enjoy taking a big deep breath of fresh air and most importantly away from technology and lists. It is easy for me to get wrapped up in our growing to-do lists and feel the anxiety of life. Sedona is gorgeous and if you get the opportunity to visit take advantage of it! We went to hike Devil's Bridge and took a 2 mile hike up to the site and then came the adventure. (side … [Read more...]
