URBS.

So after much drooling over Stella McCartney's new line for Adidas, I had to pick out a few of my must have studio to street items for Spring.  I'm diggin' the dance performance top, Cover Up Core knit pants, Cover Up Yoga Gilet, Image account shorts, Cover Up studio all-in-one and the Ordlie ballerina style shoe.

TO THE NINES!

 

Check out fit, hip and healthy mama-to-be, Lauren H. and her bump here in See-Saw.  She was sweet enough to allow to me to take some shots of her after class when she was about 6 months along.  She is still coming to class and pushing through Thinny™, Fabu-legs™, Floored and and Super Fly!

TART DECO.

Check out Essie's Art-themed, spring 2010 collection, The Art of Spring.  I like!  Good job, Essie.  One of these polishes is not like the other ones.  Left to right: Lilacism, Neo Whimsical, Pop Art Pink, Nouveau Red, Tart Deco and Van D'go.

CINCH ME!

I love Lithe Method Cinch®. I wear my Lithe Haramaki to add an extra layer and warm my middle even when I'm not on the mat.  We are now carrying Lithe Method Cinch Maki's ($25) at Rittenhouse and Northern Liberties.  They're selling out in stripes, but we have black and other colors coming back in stock asap. 

Grab one and Cinch with Nicole on Wednesdays at 7PM at Northern Liberties or with me on Saturdays at 8:30 AM at Rittenhouse!

PUSH IT GOOD.

Lauren, I saw this article on nytimes.com and I immediately thought of Lithe.  Glad I can do them now!  Susan 

Thanks for the link, Susan!  You're right on.  There's nothing like Lithe's Push-up sequence to work the entire body and spike that heart rate.

EATING LITHE.

I get a lot of questions about what to eat to get the most out of Lithe.  I believe that diet is 85% of weight loss and feeling great.

Every Saturday I stock up at the Northern Liberties Farmers Market and on Sunday I cook up a storm for the work week so that I save time, avoid processed foods, keep calories in check and temptation at bay. Each Sunday (I'll try for more), I'll shoot and document some meals to inspire you to eat more healthily! 

Here was breakfast and dinner (lunch was a big, green salad, I also had an apple with almond butter for my mid-afternoon snack and Sweet Freedom for dessert):  1/2 Gluten free bagel (I salt them a little) with Alaskan Nova Lox, Tofutti cream cheese, organic tomatoes and cucumbers.  For Dinner I made vegan mushroom barley soup and homemade grilled veggie burgers wrapped in butter lettuce leaves. 

Remember that you're driving the bus!  Don't let your other half or your kids hold you back from eating healthy-These meals are delicious and will last you until Wednesday at least!
