It's time to kick off a new session, so please make sure you register before your next camp starts. As most of you know by now, I will be traveling starting today (Monday morning) through Sunday, but I've arranged for some kick-butt subs to take my place.

The weather is finally going to be warm enough in the morning for us to bring back our kayaking! Tomorrow, we will have a fun Adventure Race on Lady Bird Lake. It will consist of a partnered event that will challenge you through running, rowing and kayaking.

We will have a short rowing and safety seminar for 10 minutes before the event. Please arrive early!!!

Location: Texas Rowing Center 
Time: 8:55 a.m. -- start of safety seminar
To Bring: Running shoes, shorts that can get wet, a towel and water

The kayaks have drain holes, so your rear end might get slightly wet. (Bring a towel or wear a bathing suit.)

As this is a partnered event, you will be placed in teams. However, if you would like select your own partner, please bring a friend to camp ($20)!

If you think what you eat only affects your body's appearance, think again. While that glazed doughnut you snarfed down this morning when you thought no one was looking is definitely going to kickstart your thigh-expanding, it can also lead you down a path of anxiety and stress. That' why emotional eating begats more emotional eating.

The good news is that there are also foods that work the opposite way, helping you cut through the crazy, tame those sugar cravings and reduce your urge to collapse into a ball of angst and apprehension. When in doubt, reach for one of these 8 snacks! {Read the rest}

1.       Dark chocolate

2.       Skim milk

3.       Oatmeal

4.       Salmon

5.       Walnuts

6.       Sunflower seeds

7.       Spinach

8.       Blueberries

Booooo to rain! Unfortunately, our beautiful SXSW weather ends today, so we will be moving our workout into our new (unfinished) space for a power hour of yoga. This will be Stephana's third visit with us, and will be ramping up the diffculty level.

Time: 9:00 a.m.
Location: RunTex -- *come into the red warehouse*
To Bring: Water, towel, and yoga mat (or large towel)

Please don't forget to bring your mat or a large towel -- it's a concrete floor, and I have limited mats available!
