While this kind of busy is good for business, it takes a toll on the workout schedule. Irregular work hours make it difficult to schedule running dates and at the [...]]]> http://www.yuppieyogini.com/2012/02/22/destination-running/feed/ 0 http://www.yuppieyogini.com/2012/02/20/this-and-that/ http://www.yuppieyogini.com/2012/02/20/this-and-that/#comments Tue, 21 Feb 2012 03:41:58 +0000 Nicole http://www.yuppieyogini.com/?p=4244 Some days I love reading and writing focused, in-depth blog posts and then there are days when I just want a little of this and a little of that. I’ve been keeping a running list of fun things to share for such a day. Enjoy! 1. It’s no secret that I’ve developed a new obsession [...]]]> http://www.yuppieyogini.com/2012/02/20/this-and-that/feed/ 7 http://www.yuppieyogini.com/2012/02/18/kick-ass-arms/ http://www.yuppieyogini.com/2012/02/18/kick-ass-arms/#comments Sat, 18 Feb 2012 05:07:17 +0000 Nicole http://www.yuppieyogini.com/?p=4240 With a wedding dress that flattered most of the “trouble” spots, my pre-wedding workout primarily focused on toning the arms.   I spent a few months hitting the weights hard and revitalized my love for strength training. In high school I had a huge crush on the guy who managed my gym and subsequently, I [...]]]> http://www.yuppieyogini.com/2012/02/18/kick-ass-arms/feed/ 10 http://www.yuppieyogini.com/2012/02/13/dirty-fortune-teller/ http://www.yuppieyogini.com/2012/02/13/dirty-fortune-teller/#comments Tue, 14 Feb 2012 03:43:22 +0000 Nicole http://www.yuppieyogini.com/?p=4230 Remember all those fortune telling games we played in middle school? There was the one that determined your future husband, job, salary, number of children, and house—does anyone else remember that? And who didn’t love the paper folding games. I have vague memories of a folding notebook paper horizontally and writing long lists of something.

I even entered freshman year with plans to go to medical school so I could become a rich doctor. Now that idea makes me LOL!

Anticipating the arrival of Valentine’s Day I began pursuing Pinterest for a few fun craft ideas and of course, I was not disappointed. My first project was inspired by love map creations.

There are a plethora of life changing things out there, but I bet it is rare for something like a smart phone application to quickly become so ubiquitous (with the exception of Angry Birds).

Well, except for this cute little craft, but only if I were planning a bridal shower. And I’m not. All my favorite blogs are just not focusing on anything that I care about in the moment.

Three One. No matter how I look at it, turning thirty-one feels…strange. I was all about thirty and totally embraced entering a new decade. Looking back on my 30th year, I kicked ass and took names! It was a year of no regrets. If I remember correctly, my primary goal for age [...]]]> http://www.yuppieyogini.com/2012/01/15/thirty-one/feed/ 25
