Skechers Motivation to Walk – Who Do You Walk For?
I don’t talk about my personal life on this blog a lot… But this occasion/opportunity really moved me to share a story with you today that’s personal.
It’s the most difficult post I’ve ever had to write, too…
Meet my grandma.
Her name is Valentina and she’s my maternal grandmother’s sister actually. I grew up with my maternal grandma living with us – taking care of us kids like only a grandmother can, for which I will forever be grateful. Valentina lived away and would come to visit us occasionally. Those family get-togethers are one of the fondest memories I have from my childhood. My grandma’s sisters were all very loud, funny, witty, strong and powerful women. Growing up with these women around was amazing and contributed a lot into making me who I am today.Continue Reading

Quinoa Stuffed Squash – Tasty Tuesday Recipe Feature and Linkup
Hey-hey! How was your weekend, guys?
We were working on our kitchen this weekend. We have finally painted the walls! Now to put in the ceiling 🙂 Slow but sure we’re making some progress with our kitchen.
Because my kitchen (and pretty much the whole house because of the kitchen project) is a mess, I didn’t cook anything new this weekend to share with you today.
BUT! Tasty Tuesday is still on!
Every Tuesday I post a recipe, a collection of recipes, a restaurant review or anything related to food. There is then a linkup at the end of the post where you can add links to your food-related blog posts! The linkup stays open for a week – right until the next one comes around. How awesome is that?
Don’t forget to check out other link up participants and there’s ONLY ONE RULE TO THE LINKUP – link back to this blog or grab the link up badge from the sidebar. Let’s spread the word so we can have more people checking out your posts next week! Please, respect this rule – every week I put my time and effort into creating this linkup, and so do bloggers who come to linkup their posts. Linking back = spreading the word = giving back.Continue Reading

Zucchini Latkes Recipe and Tasty Tuesday Linkup Party
Hey guys! How is that Tasty Tuesday going over there? 🙂
I’m having an extremely busy week again – a lot going on and I still haven’t told you about my trip to San Diego! Shame on me!
But in my defense – I put together a super yummy post for you today 🙂

So! On to the tasty stuff now 
I’m a big fan of savory breakfast. I just can’t start my day off with sweet stuff. Really, I can’t. Any other time of day or night – but not the morning 🙂
So because of this and because having eggs for breakfast every day can drive you nuts, I have to think of new recipes for my savory breakfasts. This one was inspired by the zucchini attack we all experience in the fall. 🙂 What better way to use them than making delicious zucchini latkes? Here’s how.

Cycling Class Profile and Playlist #5 – Ride to the 80’s
Happy Monday, my friends!
This week’s Cycling Class Profile is called “Ride to the 80’s”.
Special thanks to Sue over at Mrs. Fatass for song ideas! 🙂
I taught this class last Saturday and my riders really enjoyed it. I love teaching Saturday classes – they are one hour long vs. my usual 45 minute class format, which is challenging by itself 🙂 Also, Saturday class is taught by a different instructor every week and usually has better attendance numbers than weekday classes (looking at you, weekend warriors 🙂 ).
And – you never know who’s coming to your Saturday class vs. having your regulars in your usual scheduled classes.
Anyway, I thought I’d do something fun this week – both with the music and the routine.
But before I dive into the drills and routines, here’s a video that inspired me to do one of the fun drills in Saturday class.Continue Reading

ICI/PRO Indoor Cycling Instructor Challenge
Hi guys! Special announcement today! Well, actually I got two announcements – one really special, and one a little less special 🙂
I’ll start with BIG news.
Remember my interview with John for the ICI/PRO Podcast? While we were talking I mentioned how my fitness journey started – with a personal 30 Days Active challenge. After the interview was over, John had an idea to create a similar Indoor Cycling Instructor Challenge.
Well, fast forward a few weeks, and today marks the day we announced the challenge!
