]]> Most recent workout: Does a walk on the beach count? If not, my most recent “real” workout was Pilates in Cabo San Lucas. It wasn’t on a Lagree reformer, so I had to modify my routine to fit what I know, but was still sore! If I’m not at PilatesBarre, I am running either on a treadmill or outside.

Best insider fitness or health tip you have been given: Try to start every day with a protein-rich meal to kick start your metabolism.  I crave my morning smoothie; it includes a low carb yogurt, scoop of protein powder, flaxseeds, and small amount of almond milk.  I think all in it’s over 40 grams of protein in one meal! It’s delicious!

What we’d find in your gym bag: I don’t really carry a gym bag, but I always have two or three pairs of pilates socks in my car.

ToeSox

Ultimate healthy meal: Right now, I love going to Rex’s Seafood.  I eat out a lot, so finding (or choosing) healthy items is sometimes hard, but always feel like you can get a good piece of fish there. Plus it’s close to home!

Ultimate place to eat in dallas: That’s a tough one…there are so many great places, but one of my favorites is Javier’s.  I love the Filete Cantinflas.

Favorite Roots Juice: I like several, but I think Green Goddess is my current fav!

Sweet or sour: Neither. Spicy and salty!

Latest obsession: Chewing gum!  Nervous habit I guess…Sometimes I will go through a whole pack a day!

Book you are currently reading: No books right now, but caught up on all of my favorite magazines this past week at the beach!

Blog you are totally digging: Hmmm, I would probably say I am less of a blog follower, but a def a Googler. That’s how I get all of my information!

Number one style icon: Too many to choose just one.

Three things on your bucket list: Ride in a hot air balloon. Go to Brazil. Someday, I would love to open a jewelry store!

Currently jamming out to: Always on Spotify…my latest are tracks by The White Panda.

WHY CHOOSE BKR?

Glass is better for your body and the earth! It does not alter the taste of its contents and does not allow any unsafe chemicals to leach and make you sick! Yuck! Glass is a fully recyclable material. Everything tastes better out of glass!

BKR has a small mouth just like the disposable water bottles people love drinking from.

BKR Water Bottles are made of BPA-free, FDA approved materials. The bottle is glass, the sleeve and gasket are silicone and the cap is made of food-grade, recyclable polypropylene. The whole bottle is also dishwasher safe. Put the entire water bottle on the top rack!

BKR’s modern design and bright colors have made them a celebrity favorite!

BKR also has been featured in fashion and design magazines such as Instyle, Dwell, W, Shape and US Magazine.

]]> Take a drink from the fountain of youth when you grab a bottle of Crazy Water, now available at The PilatesBarre. This natural mineral water is Texas local—sourced and bottled in Mineral Wells, Texas. We like to get just a little crazy with a combination of Crazy Water #2 and #3. Crazy Water most importantly keeps your body hydrated before, during, and after your workouts. The natural minerals found in Crazy Water are more readily absorbed by your body than synthetic minerals. Crazy Water contains a mixture of minerals that offer a variety of benefits like preserving bone structure, maintaining pH balance, and strengthening the immune system. So how does it taste? Well, like minerals! Definitely different than “plain” water, but not unpleasant. The intensity increases as you go up in number. #2 is pretty mild. It’s a blend of #1 and #3, and is suitable to drink all day. #3 has a stronger mineral taste and is also good for daily drinking. So it’s time to get CRAZY! Grab a bottle of Crazy Water at The PilatesBarre before your next class.

Crazy Water No. 2 and No. 3 at The PilatesBarre.

]]> Most recent workout: I run 6 days a week and round out my workouts at The PilatesBarre four to five times a week.  This morning I had a tempo run. I did a two-mile warm up followed by a four-mile pickup and then a three-mile cool down.

Best insider fitness or health tip you have been given: Always prepare for a hard work out by eating carbs.  After completing a hard work out, refuel with plenty of protein. This has made a huge difference in my recovery and helps me to feel energized throughout the day.

What we’d find in your gym bag: A blender bottle and a packet of Generation UCAN to drink before a hard run, tons of PilatesBarre socks, so I’m prepared to fit in a class at The PilatesBarre anytime of the day, and a set of clean clothes to throw on after my work outs.

Ultimate healthy meal: Salmon, sweet potatoes, green beans, and a glass of Pinot Noir cooked in the comfort of my own kitchen.

Ultimate place to eat in Dallas: Shinsei on Inwood. They have the best sushi and a great wine list!

Favorite Roots Juice: Health Nut Almond Milk. It tastes like dessert!

Health Nut Almond Milk

Sweet or Sour: Sweet. To be more specific, anything chocolate!

Latest obsession: Roots Juices, Crazy Water (both available at The PilatesBarre), Cryotherapy, all of my PilatesBarre apparel, and Hail Merry’s Sea Salt Caramel Macaroons.

Book you are currently reading: 1776 by David McCullough. He is going to speak downtown at JFK’s memorial anniversary ceremony in November, so I’m reading a few of his works in preparation.

Blog you are totally digging: Possessionista. She is a fashion blogger out of Chicago who blogs about what all of the celebrities from Zoey Daschenelle to the contestants on ABC’s The Bachelor are wearing.

Best vacation you have ever taken: I travelled around Italy last summer. The best part was spending time in this beautiful villa in Tuscany and tasting amazing wines and eating Italian cuisine.

Number one style icon: I love Jennifer Anistons effortless everyday style. She makes a simple white t-shirt and jeans look amazing!

Three things on your bucket list: I would love to go to Patagonia, run the Antarctica marathon, and go on a safari in Africa.

List in order of importance: Play, Work, Coffee, Tea, Chocolate, Sleep.

I love them all!

Coffee

Sleep

Work
