Happy Labor Day 2018! Can you believe it’s already Labor Day? I don’t know where the time goes! I’m at home relaxing with a book. The last few days have been quite a whirlwind! I had stomach pain the other day, and it was pretty severe, so I called my doctor. After running a few tests, he checked me into the ER and I had surgery.
Unfortunately I had to cancel my trip to New York Fashion Week. I need to relax and recuperate; which may take a few weeks. Even though I am not going this September, please know I will still follow the shows from home and bring you the hot new trends from the runways in New York!
Stay tuned! I will return to New York Fashion Week next February.
Thank you for all your support and I hope you enjoy a labor-free day today!
So you might be wondering why there are beach yoga photos on a post about fall fitness, well, this activity was the inspiration for one of my workouts in my new fall 2018 fitness routine.
When I was in Florida with Chico’s, they hosted a beach yoga workout the morning before we all flew home. It was a beautiful experience and reminded me how good yoga can feel. I was in a car accident in the late 1990s. A women ran a red light and t-boned my friend’s car. I was sitting in the backseat, and despite my seat-belt, I was tossed sideways and hit my head on the interior of the car. I was out for a minute and later diagnosed with a concussion and whiplash. Without thinking, I settled with the insurance company instead of suing; which in hindsight, I should have done. I have permanent damage to my neck and upper spine from the accident. This results in chronic pain which can affect my activities.
Yoga can temporarily relieve some of this pain, and it also reduces the stress I hold onto from my daily life. In addition to relieving stress, it stretches out muscles I use when I workout, and it also helps reduce injury from my fitness activities, and life in general.
So, I have decided to incorporate yoga into my weekly routine for the fall season. I’m excited to see how this new fitness routine works!
Monday: Spin class (interval cardio)
Tuesday: Body Blast (interval strength training)
Wednesday: Body Combat (cardio kick boxing)
Thursday: Strong by Zumba (interval strength and cardio) (not sure how I like this yet-will report back in a couple months)
Friday: Yoga (stretching? How do you categorize this? haha)
Saturday: Spin (cardio)
Sunday: rest
Well, I’m excited to see how this new routine works for me. My goal was to lose ten pounds over summer vacation, but I only lost five. I am still going to consider that a win, and see if I can lose ten pounds by Christmas! Wish me luck!
What are you doing for fitness this fall season? Do you do yoga? Which types?
There is nothing more iconic than a white shirt. Classic white shirts were important in fashion before the concept of the little black dress was conceived in the early part of the 1900’s. White shirts are not only iconic for women, but for men as well. This makes them a universal closet staple for everyone.
White shirts can come in any form. There are form fitting shirts, loose shirts, cropped shirts, and oversized shirts. A classic white shirt can even come in the form of a short tunic like mine. Whichever type of shirt suits your personal style, there is a white version on the market just for you.
The white shirt you wear can communicate your personal style to the world. If you choose a classic style, you are telling the world you are practical, no-nonsense, and not into trends. If your shirt has a more avant-garde silhouette, the style you choose tells a story about your personality to the world.
My White Shirt offers a classic collar on a loose tunic silhouette. This conveys my easy-going yet understated style. What story does your white tell?
