38 Days of Daily Workouts… and counting

goal setting, health and fitness / 2 Comments

This has been a surprisingly good week for me for workouts. After doing Refine Method every day this weekend, I took a well-deserved break on Monday by just doing 20 minutes of pilates before bed. On Tuesday morning, I crushed it again with a killer Flywheel class – getting my highest score ever on the Torqboard! – but then I missed my intense workout yesterday, since I stupidly tried to put it off till evening. Today, though, I hit up a 6am Tread Fitness class (half free weights, half intense treadmill intervals), and also snuck in 20 minutes of Jillian …

Each time I woke up I also thought about the fact that I am staying on the 29th floor of one of the only high rise buildings in downtown Dallas, and how easy it would be for my entire …

Learning to love the treadmill

goal setting, health and fitness, travel / Leave a Comment

I did not get a good night’s sleep last night, so when my alarm went off at 6:30am, I reset for 7am. Too tired! But that extra half hour of sleep was filled with bad dreams and me feeling guilty for not working out, so when it went off again at 7am, I got up. I started my morning routine, all the while thinking about how I was wasting time and it was going to be the same situation as Tuesday. And in some ways, it was. At 7:20am, I was at the point in my routine where I’d usually …
