#30DayWorkoutChallenge
Come join #TeamLean with some of the coolest, smartest girls in the world. Our first order of business is the #30DayWorkoutChallenge! The goal is to work out #ErrDamnDay from Wednesday, 11/25 thru Christmas.
A 10-minute walk, yoga or meditation counts, as does a long run, SUP or surf session. We are just here to keep you accountable and positive.
Set your own rules and do what works for you, but carve some time out for yourself every day! Who is in?
Below are details about the original one a few years ago!

A few years ago, I decided to work out for 10 days straight in an attempt to be "bikini ready" for a trip to Florida. I called it the #10DayWorkoutChallenge.
Anyway, I am starting a #30DayWorkoutChallenge tomorrow! Who wants to join? The only rule is you must workout #EveryDamnDay whether it's a slog (slow jog), yoga class, spin class or a 10 minute run. It all counts.
You may be thinking: "Why the heck would someone do this?" Well, here is the answer: The holidays can get a little nutty for most of us...So what better time to do a #30Day Challenge where you must workout #EveryDamnDay.
Best. Christmas. Song. Ever.
Here ya go.
It may be a bit early for some of you...but I started my Christmas shopping over the weekend so it seemed appropriate to start listening to Christmas music.
Happy Sunday!

Be fearless
What are you afraid of? What would YOU do if fear didn't control you? Would you go to a movie by yourself, would you eat dinner by yourself at a nice restaurant, try yoga (Hint: YOU SHOULD), go on a fabulous trip...or would you try to surf (even though the water is cool)?
Fear can control us on many levels and ultimately prevent us from doing and better yet experiencing some pretty amazing things.
For me (as of late), I am in total awe of the surfers in the water in November. I have tried surfing before...once in San Diego which was nice because the waves roll a bit slower there (not sure if that is official surfer lingo but you get the drift). From there, I decided to go to Costa Rico for surf camp for a week. That was really hard. Surfing takes some serious core strength and coordination (which I seriously lack). But as I watch the surfers, I am in total awe...and even more impressed when they are out there in full body wetsuits. So, I am making it a goal to try it (even though it's kind of hard and the water is not super warm). It may still be hard...and I may suck at it...but that's not gonna stop me.
Sidebar: You may have noticed that I have been blogging more....let's just say the words are pouring out a bit more lately.
Anyway, what would YOU do if you were not afraid? Go do it...or just start working towards it!

Headstand on the beach, check!
For those non-yogis out there, this may not be thrill you as much as it does me. I love headstands. Over the last few years, I have actually gotten kind of good (read: really good) at them. Today, I was at the beach and decided to try one (unaided without a wall or spot). Anyway, I not only got up, but better then that I didn't fall. I finally figured it out. I did it three times (no idea for how long). I will continue to practice these unaided on the beach. The goal is to hold it for five minutes! Let's see how long it takes to get there...pretty sure I held one last night (aided by a wall) for about 3.5 to 4 minutes.
Negative to beach headstands (even on a blanket): One ends up with sand in their hair. I am gonna think of it as exfoliating my scalp. :)

Pulled Pork Recipe
I wouldn't necessary classify myself as a good cook...I get by though. And, I think that a slow cooker is one of the best things EVER MADE! My favorite thing to make in the slow cooker (or crock pot) is pulled pork (which I just finished). Below is the recipe (and in truth I found it on Allrecipe.com years ago):
