Spinning Out Of Control

I know, I am late to the party with Spin but I am addicted. I was first introduced to the high energy cycling classes through my friend. We went to a new studio in Capital Hill called Biker Barre, which I highly recommend if you are in the area. What I loved about the class was that it was done in candle light. I did not have to worry about feeling self conscious about the pounds that I have put on. All I had to do was focus on keeping my feet moving to the beat.

While I loved Biker Barre, its location was not as convenient for me to get to after work, I made the switch to Sculpt DC.  Sculpt's instructors are high energy and oh boy they will make you sweat! I took the plunge and bought a monthly membership here. I am looking forward to seeing my results at the end of the month. Even if the scale doesn't move, I already feel better and that's what really matters. 

Whats your exercise of choice?


Fit Fridays: Workout Plan

It's the day after Thanksgiving (and ive already had left overs for breakfast) and surprisingly I didn't eat myself into a food coma. Over the past couple of months I have gone from a size 4/6 to a 10/12. I was working out like a mad woman and lost 6 pounds which I was elated. However, when I cam back from Canada I lost my motivation and gained those pounds right on back. So once again I am on my gym grind and I hope this time it sticks. I found this workout plan on Pinterest and thought I would share it with you guys.


Work Out Motivation

I have watched myself go from a size 4 to a size 6 to my current size 8. I have found myself not loving my body to the fullest lately. I used to be a gym rat until one fateful day I lost my sports bras (only to discover them months later mixed up in my sisters clothes). I know... I know... I know I should've just bought new ones instead of slacking off. Now im finding it so hard to get the motivation to work out even though i'm unhappy with current state. What is odd about this whole situation is that I LOVE the feeling I get after a great workout and yet I still remain stagnant. How do you guys find the motivation to workout? I need serious help!


Sizzling Summer Legs...

It's ridiculously hot outside...it reminds me of 2 things: 1. My home state of Texas (the great state) 2. Summer is around the corner. Summer aka shorts/bikini/micro mini season .... as much as i love it I get super self conscious about my legs. My legs = jello. I cringe with every step because of the extreme jiggle. (lol im ridiculous) So this summer I want to get it right and tight by implementing these work outs.

1. Running
2. Squats
3. Lunges 
4. Yoga! Yoga! Yoga!


and hopefully by my birthday ill have Rhianna legs!
