Countdown to the New Year

Hi,
We're heading into the 'holidaze' full speed ahead. Reading through scores of fitness magazines, watching shows, internet and just good old experience, here's a pedestrian way to keep everything in perspective:

November:
-Plan ahead: the 3 "P's" - Plan out your day, plan your budget, plan your eating

-Day: Map it out. Take the time before you jump out of bed to think about your day and what you want to have happen. Don't forget about setting a minimum of 20 minutes aside for exercise. Get your heart rate up and if 20 is all you have, go for weights as it will boost your metabolism.

-Budget: Gifts. If you're planning on gift giving this holiday, make a list and determine how much you'll spend and stick to it. Try to get your shopping in early. You don't need to spend a lot to give a great gift. Stress less. Oh yeah, and if you can, pay in cash and forego the credit card headaches.

December:
-Do the things that will make you feel good. Whatever it is, decorate your house, try cooking something you've never cooked before (I'm going to try an apple pie, I saw this on the Today Show and it seemed so simple):

INGREDIENTS
• Apples - any combination, but Granny Smith and Macs are preferred
• Egg whites
• 1/2 cup sugar
• 1 tsp. apple pie spice (or allspice, cinnamon, mace)
• Butter
• Egg yolks
• Prepared pie crust

Prepare pie crust, put in pie plate.
Brush crust with beaten egg white and set aside.
Peel and cut up apples in chunks and fill up crust. Put sugar and apple pie spice on top of apples.
Put one pat of butter, cut into 4 pieces, on top of apples. Put crust on top.
Mix egg yolks with a little bit of milk and brush on top.
Cut slits in crust.
Bake 10 minutes at 400 degrees and 30 minutes at 350.

December, continued:
-Exercise: Work off the meals, go for walk, a run, anything. Just do something.
-Mentally get ready for the New Year. Why wait until Spring to clear out the old? Clear away.

Hi guys! Hope you all had a healthy and happy weekend! I am getting pumped for my spin class at 630 tonight! Hope you all gave a spin class a try and if you haven't yet, make sure you get on that! I have officially given up wine and caffeine since Friday :) I am cleaning my whole body out and getting rid of all the bad stuff! I got a slight headache Saturday and Sunday from not getting my usual latte but today I feel AMAZING! Come say hi to us at Envy, cute new things!

Told ya I'd write :) So I am at Envy right now looking at all the adorable, stylish, practical and flattering merchandise and wondering where everyone is! Get down here and buy some stuff people! Everything in this store is AMAZING! We just got in twistband, the cutest and most functional headband ever! So come down and grab 1 or 3 or 50. :) I went to spin today like I said I was and honestly it makes you feel so great when you are done! I think you should all go try a class at a local gym and see what you think!

M.I.A.

NOOOO not the band silly, ME!!! I have been "chasing my tail" for the last 2 weeks...and haven't been able to share all my stories with you, sorry :( Envy girl is back! Woohoo! So, did my first ordering for our fall collection and let me tell you, it is pretty amazing, Omgirl, I LOVE YOU! Tie-dye pants, meditation wraps, adorable basics with some flare, lets just say...aaammmmaaazzzhhhhiiinngg (i know there is no "h", it's for exaggeration) :) 

So, you will be happy to know I have attended spin class at my new swanky gym 4 times in the last week and a half and am going tomorrow as well, finally stopped getting sore from it, what a great workout. These classes are over an hour and I was sweating so much that there was a puddle underneath the bike, ew! But I must say the men next to me had rivers underneath theirs..yuck yuck!

 Anyway, I have also been eating healthy except when my dad came into town last night and I ate the most amazing food at Sevilla downtown, oh and dad by the way, ceviche is more like salsa, not soup!  Oh and P.S. everyone what a great and healthy dinner..I found a great recipe for ceviche at :
