“You’re crazy.” “That’s insane and impossible.” “Why tf are you doing that.” Those were just a few of the responses I received when I told my friends/family/strangers that I wanted to do a week of working out twice a day. As a full-time employee with a social life, it does seem pretty impossible. But, YOLO. … Continue reading
There are very few areas in Houston where you can spend an entire day in. I mean, park the car and walk around and be entertained for, like, 10 hours. Maybe you could do that in the Galleria area, but that would be a LOT of shopping and eating. Downtown too, but that would be … Continue reading
It’s March — which is basically nearing Houston’s summer. Even though we’re back to cool days, we have sweaty ones just ahead. We’re thinking about pool and beach time and immediately heading for the gym, snacking on protein bars and low-cal chips or doing juice cleanses. While the rodeo has left town, we’re just gonna fill … Continue reading

It is so refreshing to go to a really good yoga class. One where you mesh so well with the other students, the teacher gets you, the music is on point, and your body transitions from pose to pose flawlessly. I’ve been doing yoga in Houston for a while, and because of where I lived I tended … Continue reading
“All of us in this room have the power to transform Houston,” a small woman says into her mic to a group of 40 or so of us. She’s not campaigning for mayor, or on the Greater Houston Convention and Visitors Bureau board. No, she’s not speaking at a self help seminar nor reading from … Continue reading
Traffic was terrible. We’re in Houston, we can blame the traffic for everything. I blame the traffic for my incredibly terrible attitude. I was a straight up witch with a B when I walked into Ryde. I acknowledge this. My biggest only beef with this place is it’s parking. You have more than 30 bikes … Continue reading
Full disclosure: this post took 12 times as long as it could have because each key stroke took alotta time and effort…soooo…sore. And here’s why. I did a dumb thing. I took a class called “BootCamp” and now my muscles hate me. Because all the words hurt to make… I’m gonna give you some gifs … Continue reading
Spin classes are boring. Well, I guess most workouts are boring. But like, when you run you’re seeing your city and being in nature. And when you do some sort of weight lifting class, you’re doing different muscle groups, so there’s variety. When you spin, you’re literally going no where but pretending like you’re climbing … Continue reading
I’ve been wanting to ride a bike. It’s been a super weird craving-like experience. But the craving hasn’t been wholehearted. It’s like when you pass a young mom and her adorable baby: You all of the sudden want to volunteer yourself to babysit for her, but aren’t at all convinced to transform your womb into … Continue reading
