Basic Butt Kickin' Workouts
Since it is hard to describe a lot of my POP Pilates moves without photo or video, I decided to create some super basic workouts for you to follow. I used some classic moves that everyone should know. If you don’t know ‘em, just google it.
Here are 3 workouts you can pick from!
WORKOUT 1: Three’s a Crowd Workout
4 sets of:
25 pushups - on knees or toes
50 lunges - each leg...

Cool website for finding new workout music
For those of you out there who are group exercise instructors and junkies, especially the cardio ones (Turbo Kickboxing, Zumba anyone?), you’d know all about BPM or beats per minute. It’s like a metronome that will dictate your every move in class.
Oh no the flashbacks…the horrors of piano practice…STOP! STOP IT!! Side note: Who else here was forced to play piano?...

Weird Encounters at the Gym [True Life]
You know, the gym is such a grand place. All sorts of people from all different backgrounds pile in there and sweat side by side. You may never know if the guy that just laid down the mat next to you is CEO of a BioTech company or if the lady who just re-racked the weights incorrectly washed her hands or not. (Eeeewwwww…) Some make friends and take group exercise classes while some choose...

What happens when you fry an egg with applesauce?
Major experiment. If we can sub applesauce for oil in baking, can we also sub it for oil when frying? I take the challenge.
The contenders await their feat. An egg. A jar of applesauce.
Applesauce heads into the heated pan first. He makes like Pac-Man. I then crack my egg over the glob of apple mush and helplessly await as the clear turns to white.
But will it stick?
Can it flip?
Not...

Q & A Time from Facebook! 9/24/2011
1. How can I get myself to stop eating after dinner? I eat great all day and then lean & green dinner but at 8pm I realllly want a piece of toast or some crackers.
If you want that piece of toast, then eat Ezekiel bread. It is flourless and is made from 4 grains and 4 beans. If you’re so hungry, it must mean that you’re not eating enough throughout the day! Throw some satisfying...

Sad about how my last post came off as Eating...
Hey guys,
So this is going to be a feeling post. A really long one.
I get scared when I write feeling posts because when I just say or type what I am honestly feeling I tend to get a lot of mail saying how I should censor what I say. Or take a step back and ask myself if I problem. Or how I am being disrespectful to someone. Or someone’s higher being. (“Don’t say OMG!”)
Ugh.
I’m not feeling...

Motivation - losing it. Then getting it back!
Motivation is a weird thing. It can make us go crazy hyper for hours or it can make us lazy and self destructive beyond control.
I’ve noticed in increase in lack of motivation comments on facebook and on here. Not sure why though - is it a back to school/getting too busy/seasonal change thing? Just want you guys to know that everyone goes through an “I give up-I hate my body-I...

New Protein Pancake Recipe with Mila
I was having a little experiment in the kitchen. My challenge was to make a new protein pancake recipe. Didn’t have bananas and also had a brand new bag of Mila Chia seed in the house. I know a ton of healthy living bloggers are all about chia seed (yes the same as chia pet chia) so it was about time to give it a shot.
Pretty bag huh?
Mila nutrition facts. Mila is basically a blend of...
