Spinning, Summer Vegetable Salad Recipe and More

Hello, friends!

I had an absolutely wonderful spinning class on Monday night! I am still taking it easy, but what I noticed is that even if you’re trying to take it easy, your legs are still as strong as they are and go at their own pace. No matter how hard I try to make it easier, my legs have their own comfort zone they stay in/go out of. And it is a wonderful feeling to realize that your mind-set comfort zone is different from your actual physical comfort zone! So here’s the recap of Monday night’s spinning adventure:Continue Reading

Weekend Recap – Lots of Good Food, Spinning+Yoga, and Seafood Pasta Recipe

Good Monday afternoon, friends (I hope it is good for you)!

I have had a wonderful weekend with my husband (no kids this weekend) – a lot of pool and sun time, good food and exercise.

It feels so good to be back to my routine! My leg is almost completely healed, so I did my Saturday double this weekend! I tried to take it easy (especially in my spinning class), but somehow I still managed to burn my usual calories and do the usual distance almost during that one. Must be because it was Robin’s class and she ROCKS!Continue Reading

Sweet Potato Wedges Recipe. No More Running?

Hello, friends!

Thank God it’s Friday! It was a busy week, with almost no exercise, which made me feel terribly uncomfortable – you know that feeling when you leave for the airport and can’t shake off the thought that you’d left something behind, something that you need on the trip? That was my feeling exactly this past week. Oh well, the knee is much better, and hopefully I can get back on track with my exercise here soon (more on that later in the post).Continue Reading
