Wine Country Weekend Reflections #CaliSwag

Happy Monday gang!  I’m just returning from a wonderful weekend in wine country – Sonoma County, CA.  I headed out West to celebrate my bestie’s 30th birthday.  I’m so grateful for good friends. I’m also proud to say that despite our busy agenda, I got a solid workout in on Saturday morning = 30 minutes of hills sprints.  My thighs are still on fire!

Here are some pics from the weekend for you to peruse.  Now that the wining and dining #caliswag style is over, it’s back to work and back to my workouts!  Stay tuned for some new routines this week – lots of good stuff in store for you.  Love you lots, Brit

Always be Joyful!

Happy Friday!  I hope you guys are looking forward to an awesome weekend.  I certainly am.  This is my birthday weekend – HEY!  On Sunday, July 14th I will turn 29 years old…the last year of my twenties has come.

To celebrate my b-day I’m having a pool party at my parents’ house.  But this isn’t your ordinary pool party.  My mom ordered the most AWESOME slip-n-slide in the world (see below)!  Talk about being “young at heart” 😉

So, in the spirit of growing older, wiser and more awesome, I wanted to leave you this little nugget of inspiration….

HAVE SOME FUN THIS WEEKEND!  Choose to be happy!  Reward yourself with some good times and positive energy.  We often take ourselves so seriously that we forget to stop and enjoy this one precious life that we have.  So, rest assured, I will be living it up (and working out) this weekend and I hope that you will too!
