Prog Blog: Days 8 & 9 + Itinerary for Retreat Yourself Day 1!

carrots, apples & ginger. read on...

Even though I still have a ton of work to do tonight in preparation for being out of the office for 2 days (with NO access to email-I'm leaving the blackberry at home! ok, maybe not at home but definitely in the trunk of my car. only for emergencies. don't judge i can't help it. there's a reason they call it a crackberry.) I am SO very excited for RETREAT YOURSELF!! My 2 day mini-retreat kicks off tomorrow morning, and even though it's been cloudy and drizzly here in LA (which i normally LOVE) i'm still looking forward to hitting the great outdoors in Malibu for a workout, some meditation, journaling and general fun and relaxation tomorrow!

Prog Blog: Days 5, 6 & 7 (Donna Martin Graduates & Zumba)

yes, this is from THAT 90210 episode. yes, it's totally random. read the post below to see why...

Today marks exactly 1 week since i've decided to take back my personal well-being, and aside from being really sore, it feels great! (random tangent: for some reason, when i wrote "take back..." in that first sentence, the Beverly Hills 90210 episode where they have the "Take back the Night" rally popped into my head, and then for some reason it morphed into the "Donna Martin Graduates!" episode. Don't ask how/why. Sometimes, these are the things that go through my head!) Anyway...

soooo...i've been doing some legwork to prepare not only for Retreat Yourself days next week, but LIFEWORK to start making permanent changes in my life. And you know what? It's not all that bad...

Retreat Yourself.

Ok, so we all work hard. And everyone is stressed out about life, love, the environment, whatever it may be. Since most of us don't have the financial resources to go on a yoga or wellness retreat when we need a re-charge or a kick-start for some healthy new habits in our lives, sometimes we need to take matters into our own hands.
