This blog is about a healthy lifestyle. We understand that there are no quick fixes or crying over the number on the scale. We are weight lifters, fast runners, and clean eaters. This is a change for the better and for the long run. There are no short cuts, only hard work.
And we love every second of it.

NYE Workout

My boyfriend and his boxer Bella joined us on a walk around Peña Adobe (a lake/hill trail thing). We just went around the lake which is slightly more than a mile, but we also kept running in zig zags, running in the open fields, and we even let them play in the dog park for a while but little Minnie got chicken after a while. It was fun and relaxing and a pretty good workout! We’re all pooped from running all over the place.

daily douche pic woo!

loving my back progress :)

Short workout today. I have to go meet a friend in an hour so I gotta hurry up and shower! It surprisingly felt really good to do a really good and sweaty cardio workout again. I had sweat dripping down me like crazy. I need to start doing cardio more than I have been. Weight lifting is just so much more enjoyable :( bleh!

My cat refuses to be petted unless I’m in the middle of a workout.

Today’s Workout:

9:30 and I’ve already done a workout!? What!? I know! I hate working out in the middle of the day because then I have to shower, and get re-ready for work! Boo! So today I got my lazy butt out of bed super early and did a good morning workout!

Today I did the POP Pilates Butt Blaster and POP Pilates Hot Abs!

It was a total of 40 minutes of burn!
