SETTING GOALS & OGORGEOUS GIVEAWAY!!!!!

Today’s video is on how to set goals that you can actually follow through with. New year’s is just around the corner and I know a bunch of us want to achieve a million things for 2012. That’s great! January also means my classes at the gym will get all filled up again! My fave time of the year. Everyone’s excited, motivated, and ready to rock it out. This also means all the cardio machines will be taken (with lines), but whatever, I love the energy!

Here are some guidelines for successful goal setting!

  1. Make 1 attainable goal
  2. Make 1 outrageous (but doable) goal
  3. Write them down, hang it up, and look at it everyday
  4. Want to achieve your goals BADLY

I explain in further detail why this combination works in the video above! Basically, 1 & 2 allows you to conquer quickly but not sell yourself short. 3 & 4 keeps you focused with the will to achieve burning deep inside.

Also!!!! To help get you all fired up for the new year, I want to announce my first everoGorgeous bag giveaway! It’s just for you POPsters!

Contest runs Dec 26, 2011 to Jan 1, 2012 11:59PM PST. INTERNATIONAL CONTEST of course!

Love you guys! Have fun shopping sales and get ready for the most awesome POP Cardio Dance vid evvverrrr!!! Thank you for your suggestions. As always, you guys help create your own fitness videos. Cool to see your requests come alive huh?

Veggie Breakfast, Recipe Contest, & Aerie Trunk Show!

Wow, what a lame title. I basically jut told you EXACTLY what I am going to talk about with little left to the imagination! OK will work on this.

Today I woke up SUPER late because I stayed up til 5am yesterday editing photos of my bags. Ugh. I want to get these up ASAP so that you guys can see my babies! I plan to have the oGorgeous.com and Flomme.com websites up and running with new product next week!!!

I started off my day with a vegetarian soy breakfast patty and egg white omelet with Enoki mushrooms. I got the breakfast patty mix courtesy of Harmony Valley and was so surprised at how quick and tasty it was. All you literally have to do is pour the dry soy chunks into a bowl, mix with some water and then fry it on your pan. It really tasted like a McDonald’s breakfast patty! SO GOOD.


A little more sodium than I would like, but then again, I don’t eat that much sodium overall, so we’re good here! Lots of protein and very little sugar and carbs. Nice treat and something new to try for my Thursday morning.

Lookie what I made! It was so super delish. I topped my omelet off with some chunky mango salsa. YUM! (I don’t know why the background is blue…)

Do you want a bite? I bet you do! Well, fine, I’ll give you a chance!

CONTEST ALERT!!! Comment below and tell me what you would make if you got a pack of this soy sausage style mix or soy hamburger style mix. Most creative recipe idea wins. I will pick 5 winners and will announce on Monday’s post! You can enter multiple times if you keep exploding with new ideas over the weekend. This contest is only open to residents of the US or Puerto Rico…sorry international POPsters, next time :(

After a ton of work, I got ready to go to the Aerie trunk show in downtown SF. I am a fan of Aerie workout wear so was invited to see their holiday collection. I ended up buying a few things! Here’s what I got.

The Abigail strapless bra, the Tied French Terry Popover, 2 necklaces, a ring, and earrings. You will prob see me wearing this popover tomorrow in a facebook photo upload at the gym! I loved it right when I walked into the store!

I really like the clusters of jewels for my earrings – the navy, gray, and diamond work really well together. I got the ring for my sister. She’s a ring fanatic.

Pretty long necklaces to dress up a plain shirt or simple dress! A little sparkle for the holiday season! Which do you like better?

Ahh, now this bra. I have been looking for a secure strapless bra for the LONGEST time. For some reason the Victoria Secret bras don’t fit me so well. They’re cute so I have a ton in every style but I just need to accept the fact that they are not for me. I think Aerie is my new goto store for bras. Perhaps because they are more junior-oriented. The Abigail fit like OMG. Yes it fit like OMG. The strapless bra stuck on me and gave me oomph! This has never happened to me before before. Very happy right now and can’t wait to wear it!

One thing I really  wanted to get but didn’t see was the Aerie Low Impact Sports bra. The store didn’t have any. Super sad because I think it would have looked cute in a POP Pilates vid! I like the flowers and the fact that’s a crop top sports bra. So girly and sporty. So Cassey!

This Sunday I am running the Men’s Health Urbanathalon with Sarah Dussault fromSarahfit.com. She’s coming to SF tomorrow. I haven’t seen her since my last meal in Boston a few months ago so pretty excited to catch up! If you guys have been following us on YouTube you’ve probably seen our diet.com Pilates vids together. Here’s one of our ab videos from back in the day:

Anyway…better get to bed soon. I have a Powerflex class to teach tomorrow err…today and a shoot with a friend for the Flomme men’s yoga bag collection. Busy days ahead!

Don’t forget to enter the Harmony Valley veggie patty contest and tell me your most creative recipe idea below! Craziest and yummiest sounding entry wins a pack of the mix. 5 winners so start commenting! I’m waiting!!??

My mom and I just made this cute little wristlet. We handcut the flowers and leaves. Look familiar? 

Yes it is the same floral decor as on the Enchanted Mat Sling in my oGorgeous sling collection. We were about to donate the purse but then decided to gather up some left over leathers and have a crafts night. This is what I call fashion recycling!

I think I only posted this on Facebook&#8230;so woopsies, here&#8217;s a shoutout to my tumblr bloggy friends! New &#8220;Muffin Tops are for Muffins Only&#8221; tanks and TEES are in. Yay for those of us in cold places. Darker shades too. $18. Free shipping US and add $5 intl. See other colors here.
Just wanted to say thank you for reading my blog and doing POP Pilates. It means a lot to me knowing that there&#8217;s a strong community here looking to get fit healthily and that we&#8217;re all doing it together. The comments you guys left me in response to the &#8220;Feeling Fat and Failing&#8221; post made me realize how similar we all really are. It touched me to hear that the article brought some of you to tears because it described exactly how you feel on crappy days too. I guess I will now blog more about my personal experiences in addition to the researchy type stuff I look up. Thank you x a million for your feedback and your love. We&#8217;re in this together!
