The best intentions

I love a good challenge and I have had my share in the last year keeping a small business profitable in a bad economy. However, I do believe that working hard, focusing, keeping

that all important healthy attitude and finally, just doing your best and not taking the whole thing personnally.

Now, my challenge is incorporating yoga back into my workout(gave it up for financial and tiem constraints this past year). I have my heart set on a 7:45 class, but that gets nixed when work

duties call. So I am challenging myself to practice 4 days a weeks for the next two weeks.

Fingers Crossed.

The extra's are the difference

At work, home,friends, love and health it is the little extras that make the BIG difference. Returning phone calls and always doing a little more for clients makes you "indispensable", taking care of your home and pets... walking dogs, pruning plants, pulling weeds, picking up after yourself makes your house a home that you can't wait to come home to, friends and lover always listening, being there and I mean there, remembering the big days, but always ready to celebrate the small stuff or listen when the world isn't kind to those we love. Health regular ,medical,dental visits, time keeping to a regular schedule at the gym, yoga and gyrotonics...
The extra for me this month are 5 healthy main meals at home weekly...adding 25 minutes of sit ups and glut mat work 6 days a week. Learning to be present in my love's life.
Set the goals, add the extras and you will feel so much better about yourself and really enjoy all the parts of your life.

and she's back

I always admire strong, successful women...Katherine Graham,Alice Waters, Christy Turlington, Michelle Obama , Gisele,Mary Butler, Julia Child, Phoebe Philo,etc. It is good read and keep up with women you admire. We can learn so much from where others have been (physically and emotionally).

My favorite gyrotonics/pilates instructor Deandra Lee is becoming one of these women. She just opened her new gyrotonics/pilates studio Integrative Elements in Playa Del Rey, Ca. The room is serene and peaceful. She is well versed in movement ( a former dancer, licensed masseuse and therapist.) This woman knows the human body. Check it out...you will be so impressed.

My glut is supposed to be where...

I was working out with Eric the other day and he informed me that my glut was supposed to be higher (yes I have done over 8000 one legged squats this summer and worked out regularly). I pretended to act like I knew this...I then went to Gretchen and Brittany who concurred with him.
If this is true, how do I stay 5'11" and a size 2 /26? Certainly raising this glut will effect my ability to wear J Brand skinny jeans (its already an issue with the calves. Obviously, J Brand does not think its clients work out hard).
I am going to work on this and talk about adding exercises that help this area to rise (like good yeast).
Have a great weekend.
