Anonymous asked: I spent years feeling bad because I didn't like the taste if iceberg lettuce and has to feel unhealthy when everyone else was getting salads and Id be wanting chicken. Since being on my own. I discovered I loveee spinach salads with raspberry dressing. Do you know of any other alternatives like that? I feel like its a shame because so much of us only eat the foods we are used to our parents...
Anonymous asked: What do you suggest for someone who doesn't like certain healthy food? Skip them and find an alternative or suck it up and eat them? For example I can't stand broccoli (and unfortunately it's pretty much the only veggie my mom likes, the joys of being home for summer lol). Would you force yourself to grow to like it or just eat other veggies? The same for things like Greek yogurt? I...

My "Tips" Up to This Point!
I made a list of my “tips” about health- basically a collection of thoughts I have about food, exercise, and psychological aspects of health over the past year. I said “up to this point” because I think our views about health develop over time with knowledge and experience. That being said, here are my reflections and tips/suggestions. Hopefully they can help you if you feel like...

Cinco de Mayo!
Watch Food Network around a holiday and you’ll realize how important food is for making a celebration really special!
I found this recipe last week for restaurant-style salsa. It was so fresh! I used my magic bullet to blend it all together. It makes a lot so we’ll definitely be putting salsa on our eggs, chicken, steak etc. this week!
Today’s breakfast :)

Anonymous asked: How do you recover from soreness? I am a very active person but recently had to forgo lifting because of school, work, and more school. I finally got back in the squat rack the other day and did some front squats (4x10 @ 50%) and I can barely move 2 days later! I've been foam rolling and stretching after I shower. Nothing seems to help.

“Is it really so hard to imagine that children can also be taught an anti-weightism message as well – taught to internalize that body-shape and image truly do NOT matter. Can you imagine the empowerment for future generations of women by starting now?”

Astonished that 800 calories is recommended for women, and 1200 for men. I can’t believe how ridiculously low that is.. no doubt you would gain the weight, if not more, when you start eating more calories after 3...

This week's groceries
:)
This week’s bill was pretty low- didn’t need almond milk, eggs, or ezekiel bread. So that helped keep it down.
I’ve also learned that to save money I will just buy one type of fruit and one type of vegetable for dinner. So this week I bought Fuji apples (on Thursday) and 3 lb of green beans- I’ll make these and eat these for dinner for the next 5 nights (sometimes...

Anonymous asked: I was wondering if you could give any advice on different leg/flute exercises or maybe share what kind of routine/reps you do on a leg day. I really want to get back into doing them but I always seem to overdue it and then can't walk for a week+ lol. Thanks!!

This week's "fun dinner" happened early!
Don’t know what a fun dinner is? Read here
Thinking back on the dinner, the only thing that makes it more “weekend worthy” is the cream sauce! And maybe the pancetta on the brussel sprouts! So this is top round steak with a gorgonzola cream sauce, garlic brussel sprouts with crispy pancetta, and roasted red skin potatoes.
This is a pretty lean cut of steak..9g of fat per 4...

If you’re like me and my roommates, you may have a lil voice in your head that starts to whisper around this time of year- “Summer’s coming.. I need to buckle down and shed a lil of this winter weight.” “I need to cut back on the “extras” “I need to stop eating sweets” “I gotta watch the alcohol more” “I need to eat out...
