R is for…My Aunt Rita & Roasted Root Veggie Recipe!

February 18, 2013 By Kasey 5 Comments

Hi all! Started this morning off with a 545am CrossFit WOD! It was an awesome one of push presses (which I upped my max 10 more pounds! woo!), ring dips, sit ups, & double unders! Even after a fun filled day yesterday of yoga (with a bunch of crossfit ladies- so fun!) & a night of family time, I didn’t sleep very well – weird. I basically was awake since 4am so I was ready to go by the time my 515 alarm went off! Sometimes when I know I have somewhere to be in the morning, I almost get anxious & can’t sleep! I think I’m afraid I’ll miss my alarm. Do you ever do this?? … [Read more...]

My weekend of NOW.

November 18, 2012 By Kasey 3 Comments

Happy Sunday All! My to do list today: relax, watch football, look up recipes for thanksgiving, stay in slippers all day, & drink this amazing new coffee I bought down town over the weekend while spending some time with my girlfriends! It’s called Light Up Night & it helped with getting into the holiday spirit! Chocolate cinnamon swirl & Tiramisu! YES. PLEASE. If you saw my Instagram post on friday, I took a mental/physical health day. Sometimes in life we are so used to a lifestyle of "go go go" that we hardly live in the moment. I have to say that lately my … [Read more...]

#plantPOWER Eggplant Socca Lasagna

November 10, 2012 By Kasey 11 Comments

Hi all, last night on facebook I posted about my proud teacher moment I had yesterday! So I apologize if you’ve already read this but about 1 week ago I talked to my students about "Mirrorless Monday" and the importance of looking in the mirror & seeing what you're proud of & not to let the mirror judge you! I gave them some examples of how when I look in the mirror I try and say positive things instead of seeing things I want to change. Today, 2 of my 10th grade girls came into my office & said... "Ms. Arena - I had a Mirrorless Monday moment today. Before coming to … [Read more...]

September 5, 2012 By Kasey 12 Comments

hi all!! Gosh what a day yesterday… after taking some time away from my computer over the weekend, I sat down yesterday to post a weekend recap. Then I got on Facebook to post an image of a BOOTCAMP that I’ve been planning with great inspiration from @InstagramFitness & @Kmaecags! They will be hosting bootcamps all next week to help raise awareness for all types of cancer! They asked if I’d be interested in hosting a BOOTCAMP in Pittsburgh to help with this #Fitness4Cure cause! Of course I said OF COURSE.
