fitness 'bucket' list

there is so much i want to do or check out fitness wise. my life kind of revolves around bikram yoga 24-7

so currently, i am stuck with making plans for the future

but no matter how busy i get with teaching and taking- i will at least try the following:)

kayaking! this takes me back to my childhood summer camp- i love kayaking! there is a thursday night class at white rock for anyone who is interested. when it isn't freezing outside- it would be a really fun get together with friends. who doesn't like getting in an moving boat atop a body of dirty water with dead people in it ;) adds an adventure element to it!

apparently this is the woman who transformed jennifer anistons' bod with her mad yoga skills

physique 57

heard so many great things about this ballet/pilates/yoga/strength training

mish mash of a workout! check it out here for yourself!

zumba- i know it sounds cheesy but i have always wanted to try it!!

here is the class schedule in dallas- any takers?

this too shall pass

ever feel so tired and so down- that you have to gulp down the big crocodile tears in hopes to save yourself from a public meltdown? today was one of those days. i can't quite pinpoint one thing or incident that made me feel overwhelmingly helpless but i did have a mini-breakdown. it doesn't help that this is the second day i've had to teach the 5:30am class and never got caught up on my sleep. when your day starts around 4am and ends around 11pm i guess it is normal to feel blue. i just hate going to that dark place. getting so tired that you feel like you are going to loose it, literally feeling like you head is going to pop off. i'm sure a couple of months down the road when i am well rested and had a damn(sorry mom) vacation i will look back at this post (hopefully with a mojito in hand and sand in my toes) and laugh at how mellow dramatic i sound but right now my feelings feel very rational. very rational-is that even the correct wording? is there a degree of rationality? obviously i am a little tired and my brain is fried! so in celebration of days that don't suck i am adding a view glorious pics for you viewing pleasure.

because besides my husband- this guy always makes me smile

uh- hello kitty in a cast-what is cuter?

mojito- duh- favorite drink

never met a raspberry i didn't like

my birthday month

ALERT the press....in a few days it will be february, the month of my birth. yes that is correct, in our family(learned from my mother of course) the women celebrate all month long. and if there is any request no matter how small or large...you can always follow it up with' well it's my birthday month' -end of story. in honor of my birth i am going to share some birthday wishes just in case *cough cough* anyone is reading that wants to know. i always try to keep my friends in family in the know. for their benefit of course :0

love this clutch and color- i always buy black but blue is a nice accent

guest room

hello. i am in a project mood. my mission: the guest room! i am feeling grays with yellow. don'tknowwhy? i don't particularly fancy either one of those colors but with their powers combined :) they give a calm feeling. any votes for the bedspread in the guest room? very bottom pic or the one second to last? side note:isn't the gray poof (technically white in gray) so cool?!!

really?!!

sometimes when you have nothing major going on to blog about you do an adorable yet sappy post

involving a kitten(and a bird too). today is that day.

boo hoo

sometimes someone or something can make you so upset and so hurt that is stays with you a couple of days. i'm trying to shake it but i am still a little peeved. oh well- i'm sure it's nothing a bikram class or too won't cure. oh and lets hope a night of debauchery in austin (gabbys' 30th this weekend) will do the trick. i am trying to keep my eyes on the future realizing that NOW is not permanent and tomorrow is long gone. as usual i am trying to be positive, focus on the bright side and trust in gods' plan! i struggle with this and i agree for sure it is easier said then done. but no worries- i will fake mrs. brightside until i see the sun!
