Words to sweat by


Join me Saturday March 26th 8am at Corona Del Mar main beach in Newport Beach for a Bootcamp Fundraiser & Raffle to benefit the Pediatric Cancer Research Foundation (PCRF). You can sign up here. 100% of all donations goes to benefit PCRF.  Then leave a comment on this post to let me know your all signed up!

 

Here is Maddie’s story, a young little girl with a huge heart!  I don’t personally know Maddie but I know her Aunt Sarah, creator of Whoorl.com , who is also running with our Team Tiny Oranges in the upcoming Cinco De Mayo Half Marathon. Hope you have a tissue nearby, you will need it…

 

Here is an exert from Jen’s post about the Maddie James Foundation: “On a Friday afternoon just two months ago in January, Maddie was in her kindergarten class playing with friends and two days later, on that Sunday morning, she was diagnosed with a malignant, inoperable brain tumor and given 6 months.  Survival rate for this type of cancer? 0%.” read more…

Every time I even think about her it bring tears…. Having a 4 year old little girl & 2 year old little boy  I can’t even begin to image what life without one of them would be like. I am so grateful for 2 healthy kids that I’d like to do what I can to help. This post has been much harder to write then I imagined…

So what can you do, you ask?

 

Join me for the Cindo De Mayo Run/Walk on May 1st to benefit PCRF, I’ll be running the 1/2 marathon. Choose from the 1/2 marathon, 10K, 5K, or 1K Kids fun run/walk! The whole family can get involved :-)

Please sign up for in advance for my Bootcamp Fundraiser by going here to donate $25. Be sure to leave a comment on this post to let me know I’ll see you there!

Check out the raffle donations, there are great products/services that have been graciously donated! Tickets are $2 each. The Raffle donations will be at my Bootcamp Fundraiser, so you can donate there as well.

Thank you all so much for your support & please pass along to your friends & family :-)

Getting Mama’s Groove Back | Postnatal Weight Loss

December 13, 2010 9 Comments

I’m excited to announce I’m going to be training, reviewing nutrition, & coaching Shanna (My Favorite Everything) & a fellow mom get back her Pre-Baby Body. She is a mother to not only 1 but 3 little girls, ages almost 3, 2, & her littlest will be 1 this March. Shanna’s goal is to lose 30 lbs by her daughters 1st birthday! Her journey has begun…

Check out what Shanna has to say “Getting Mama’s Groove Back”

(Before…)

Shanna,  will be posting weekly updates about her experience & progress with losing the baby weight. I’ll also be keeping everyone updated with weekly exercises, tips, etc. related to what I have Shanna do!

We are 2 pilates sessions into her journey, a family bike ride this weekend, & she get’s to have me one-on-one tomorrow, lucky her ;) We’ll see what she has to say about that.

Oh yeah & she’s kick-starting her weight loss with a 3-day Ritual Cleanse (which I highly recommended) – Day 1 today

Ritual Cleanse

I’d love to hear feedback from you other momma’s out there. Have you gotten back to your “pre-baby” body yet? Are you trying & just cant seem to get there? or are you waiting for something, maybe the New Year to start? What has worked or not worked for you???

No more Excuses here!!!

Run with Me: Help Make a Difference in a Child’s Life

December 5, 2010 1 Comment

Who Wants to Run with Me? Don’t be shy ;)

A big shout out to Jen for putting together her Tiny Oranges Team for the Pediatric Cancer Research Foundation Cinco de Mayo Run/Walk May 1, 2011 here in Southern Cal (Irvine Spectrum). I am excited to be running the Half Marathon. If you live nearby or want to make a trip out, we’d love for you to join our team.

Take a breath,  you don’t have to run a Half Marathon (although it’d be awesome if you would), you can choose to run the 10K or 5K run/walk & there’s even a 1K kids fun run. Something for the whole Fam!

All funds WE raise goes to help research that explores causes, treatments, & cures for pediatric cancer.

Join our Tiny Oranges Team

If your not much for running/walking or you don’t live nearby but would still like to help you can make a donation on my fundraising page.

Here is my current schedule for my pilates fundraising classes in Newport Beach 100% DONATED!
