Random Ramblings

Class pass has come to STL, this is a great opportunity to sample all specialized gyms in your city without any type of commitment.  You're just dating the gyms, not marrying them...

on our list we have yoga, spinning, bar, pilates, cross-fit etc.  Buy your monthly membership and use it at every gym on their list, definitely the most bang for your buck!

So you bought that gym pass and now you are going to ruin all your hard work with your sweet tooth?  I made these greek yogurt muffins,  (much better for you then the muffins the size of your head from Panera)  and they have just enough chocolate to satisfy.

I bought this cleansing water the other day at CVS and I love it

 use it like a toner, after you wash and before you moisturize.  It was only $8.00 so it was a no brainer.  I will try just about anything to keep my skin from drying out this time of year.



The hubs and I have been meeting with an architect to expand our kitchen.  I LOVE my blue kitchen and want to keep it blue so I found a few (hundred) pictures on pinterest but these are my favorites

I think I need one of these for my closet...

because every time I pull out a dress and it's all wrinkly and needs to be sent out to be pressed is about an hour before I plan to wear it.




Just finished reading this book...

Loved it, and it is historical fiction.  I had no idea there was such a thing as orphan trains.



So over winter, snow, coats, boots and anything that has to do with cold weather.  19 days until we are here

I also hear that Mexico is lovely this time of year!!

Work it Gurl!!

This time of year is always so tough with time management.  Going from summer mode to school mode is quite an adjustment and I don't even have a real job.  Kudos to all the working moms out there, it is all about being organized (something that I am not) and having your schedule down.

The only schedule I have down is where/when I work out, (dinner schedule is next, I hope)  There are so many work out options out there and I like to mix everything up for maximum results.  I guarantee no matter what city you live in, you can find these classes...

Bar Method Monday

Love this ballet workout, light cardio, mainly core conditioning and muscle strengthening.

pros of taking this class...

really cute socks,

and the hope that some day I can have arms like this.

Spinning Tuesday

this is an hour of straight cardio.

pros of this class...

I wear my fit bit around my ankle and it is insane how many calories you burn!!

TRX Wednesday

this class reminds me of bar, light cardio but intense muscle building.

pros of this class

some day I will be able to do this.

Cardio Tennis Thursday

pros of this class...

adorable tennis accessories

and very cute clothes.


Mix it up Friday.  
Fridays mornings I like to fly by the seat of my pants with my workout and it is always depending on my mood.  Friday afternoons is when I play interclub tennis so even if I am lazy Friday morning I will still get a work out in.



On my radar.
Not sure when I will have the time but there are a few new classes I would like to try.  My sister in law in Chicago told me about this class
Shred 415

it is a cardio/interval/strength and conditioning class and I hear it is crazy good.  This just opened here in STL and I have so many friends that are already addicted.  Next Monday I plan on taking this instead of bar.


Also, I am dying to take an aerial fitness class

I am completely jealous of everyone that takes this class, they have the best arms


and last but not least
rock star fit

now time to go to lululemon!!

Girl Friday

TGIF, my husband always laughs when I say that.  I don't work so he thinks that every day is Friday for me.  I see his point entirely but still there is the rat race of getting the kids off to school and the after school activities stop over the weekend, so TGIF

Last weekend in Denver I went mountain biking and LOVED it, this morning I am meeting a friend and we are spinning for the first time

then this afternoon Dr. Beautiful has off so we have a date.

lunch 

then an exhibit at the art museum that we are both dying to see

Saturday, I am the parent coordinator for my son's team, the coach has a conflict so I get to step in and be the coach for the tournament.  I am so excited, my son...not so much

Saturday night we are sipping mint juleps with friends

Have a beautiful weekend!!
