Logged 13,000 steps to and from Tribeca today to go to @commonpoint.care for the first time since February. In the past year Acupuncture has played a huge role in improving my health by lessening my anxiety and minimizing my chronic headaches. Being without my 2-3x per month appointments for the last 3 months has been incredibly hard so when the clinic was approved to re-open with new protocols in place (I needed a note from my GP to indicate the appt was medically necessary, for one and had to sign new waivers about receiving the treatment in the age of Covid-19) I booked after some careful consideration. My mental health needed the treatment and I’m hopeful that my headaches, anxiety and sleep will all benefit from the care. Grateful more than ever for our caretakers, our healthcare heroes and those taking so many extra precautions to keep us safe and healthy 💕🙏🏻

#BBG Weeks 1-4 progress!⁣ ⁣ I started quaranti

#BBG Weeks 1-4 progress!⁣
⁣
I started quarantine instantly missing my 1-2x week hot yoga class. Hot yoga was always therapeutic to me. It cleared my mind and soothed my emotions as much as it stretched my body. I also missed my boxing and Pilates classes. But at the onset of the pandemic my motivation was ZERO.⁣
⁣
But as days turned into weeks I needed to move so I dipped my toe into at home yoga classes and sculpt classes but could barely pay attention for more than 10 minutes. So I focused on 10-15 minute core classes. ⁣
⁣
But then weeks turned into months so by mid April I decided I need to do something for my mental health and to help offset my comfort food and baking habits. Enter: my return to @sweat BBG by @kayla_itsines. The one program I’ve had noticeable results with. I’ve done BBG Beginner, 1.0 and half of 2.0 - from July 2018 through July 2019. Then I had my skin cancer surgery and never revisited the program as I healed...⁣
⁣
Until now and DAMN has it felt good. This challenging program pushes me and the sweating has felt like an emotional cleanse. I can’t tell you JUST HOW GOOD the sweat felt the first week I picked back up the program 🥵. I nearly cried because it felt so good. A slice of normalcy and something to remind myself that I can take a challenge and I can push myself. I’m now 5 weeks in and sharing today on wit & whimsy my foray back into the program plus answering all the questions you guys submitted to me!⁣
⁣
Hope you find the post motivating and inspiring and know that no matter what you need to do to get yourself through these days - it’s the right thing. For me finding my way back to BBG has so been rewarding. So hard. But so rewarding. I put together a little compilation of all my progress photos too and will share it on Stories #sweatwithkayla #bbgtransformation #bbgprogress #workout #fitness

Realizing I was in London this week two years ago

Realizing I was in London this week two years ago really sent me down a rabbit hole of photos of #LondoninBloom. May in London is magical with all the floral installations alongside the Chelsea Flower Show and I literally cannot wait to return one day to see all the blooming sights again. In the meantime, if you need me, I’ll be on a virtual tour of London via my camera roll 😜 #witwhimsylondon #london #blooms #prettycitylondon

This post was a labor of love (now understand why I never did it before 🤪) so I hope you find it helpful! #selftanner #tanning #faketan #wwbeautypicks

On this Memorial Day I’m taking a moment to stop and smell the roses figuratively. It’s a day to be thankful for those who have served our country and a day to count our blessings. Sending love to each and every one of you! #memorialday #witwhimsy #mdw #roses
