Things I’m Loving Lately

Between research, teaching, fitness classes, and wedding planning everything has been so busy! It’s kind of crazy how quickly time flies. Sometimes I feel like I blink and my week is already over. But I suppose that’s also a sign that I’m enjoying what I do!

There are a few things I’ve been especially loving recently and wanted to share them with all of you.

First and foremost is a new music app called 8Tracks, introduced to me by my lovely sister. I put together this playlist that I’ve been binge listening to in my car and during my fitness classes.

8 tracks is a place where anyone can upload mixes they’ve made of various popular songs. If you shuffle through songs with tags like “fitness” or “workout” you can listen to other people’s playlists and like specific songs. It’s a great way to mix up your music!!

Second obsession: this cowl neck gray Lululemon jacket.

I bought it on sale just after Christmas with a gift card and have been living in it ever since. It’s been so cold here and it keeps me nice and warm! Not to mention it’s stylish and flattering ;) While it is technically made for working out, I’ve been wearing it everywhere else.

Next up: Kind bars. Specifically the dark chocolate nut and sea salt flavor. They are definitely a splurge since they don’t come cheap! But they are delicious and the perfect mid day snack.

Lastly, I’ll confess my obsession with kickboxing. Yes, I am teaching it! So I suppose that makes me biased. But I love hitting things, and kickboxing is also an excellent cardio workout. If you haven’t tried it, you should. I always tell people in my classes that the bags won’t complain if you hit too hard ;)

I did TRX and kickboxing back-to-back on Saturday and am still so sore!

I’m also so excited that my parents have lent me their DSLR camera to experiment with pictures! I’m hoping this will help brighten up my blog a bit and improve the quality of my photos. It’s definitely an area of needed improvement that I’m invested in working on.

Any current obsessions on your list? Fitness or otherwise?
