January Reflections & Favorites

January 31, 2013 By Heather Blackmon

.

I know this is cliché, but how in the world is January 2013 already coming to a close? Seriously! Part of me feels like Christmas vacation was a million years ago, but it also feels like the month has flashed by.

Okay, cheesiness aside – it’s time to reflect on the last month here on BWV. So grab a cup of coffee and let’s catch up on things you might have missed!

Your Favorite Post

I have to say I’m surprised to see a review as your favorite post of the month, but based on pageviews it looks like PV Body Review + Discount for You won the popularity contest this month. There are some changes coming to PV Body that I’m excited to learn more about and share with you. Stay tuned in February for more details!

My Favorite Post

One that didn’t get the attention it deserved was Encourage a January Joiner! As we’re closing out the first month, please help encourage those around you who have started a new fitness routine for 2013. And it will make your day brighter to help someone else! 🙂

Fitness

In the fitness category, I started a new series this month to help with my own accountability and to give you a peak into Ironman training. You can see all of these grouped under this week in training, or follow allow every Saturday!

This Week In Training

As part of my Fitness Friday series, I also shared my thoughts on tracking your workouts to get the new year started off right:

  • What Gets Measured…Gets Better

How and Why of Tracking Workouts

Life

And the final area in my quest for balance in 2013, living life!

  • Scenes from Staycation & New Year Eve {WIAW}

Blackmons in Breckenridge

  • A Different Kind of Resolution

Balance - 2013 Focus

 

I am feeling pretty good about what I’ve accomplished this first month of the year. I’m making progress in the area of balance and enjoying the ride.

Questions for you:

  • How was the first month of the year for you? How are you doing on your goals for 2013?
  • Any requests for future Fitness Friday posts or recipes?

Welcome

Hi! I’m Heather, a yoga & wellness teacher based in Colorado... Read More…

Which is more YOUR thing - camping near an alpine Which is more YOUR thing - camping near an alpine lake or shredding on a local trail? ⬇️

In both cases, we need to protect the land we enjoy on our adventures. And Leave No Trace is one program that helps with that - especially those that have a high rate of degradation through a program called Hot Spots. 

I'm excited to be partnering with @leavenotrace and @onxbackcountry to celebrate and preserve all these beautiful outdoor places. And for all of June, $10 of every onX Backcountry membership is being donated towards Leave No Trace’s Hot Spot program. A great way to get access to my favorite backcountry app AND support LNT! 

I added a link in my bio if you're interested in learning more, so you can help #ExploreandRestore!

What scares me is probably different than what scares you.

I am admittedly a timid mountain biker - but getting better every day.

I'm afraid to face plant, but still working on crow pose in yoga.

Am I the only one still (basically) living in yoga Am I the only one still (basically) living in yoga clothes?

For at least part of the day, it's just easier to put on yoga pants, sports bra, and a "zoom-appropriate" top. Or a button-up layered over my workout tank. It makes it SO much easier to squeeze in a workout when I have time.

Tell me I'm not the only one who's not going back to work clothes?!

Wait, should I look at the camera? 📸 But reall Wait, should I look at the camera? 📸

But really, keep your gaze straight ahead to keep your neck safe in bridge (or Setu Bandha Sarvangasana). It's rare that a version of this pose isn't included during cooldown in my classes.

Do you love bridge as much as I do?
