(Just in case you are thinking, why the heck did she post a workout she got injured doing? Well, technically I aggravated an OLD injury which I injured doing overhead squats. Second, I’m not suggesting my form was perfect or even close. My triceps push ups on the ball are abysmal at best. Remember always to do what is right for your body and modify as needed. I probably won’t be doing any power exercises with my shoulder for the next month if not more, which sucks but it isn’t the end of the world. I’ll take that over not being able to run, any day. ) I’m going to try and keep up with the workouts, next week just may post a little later and will most likely be a how to work your but and abs with littls stress on your shoulder workout!

First up, I have to tell you about this video my friend made! You may remember Corey from our wedding. He has been friends with Mr. Hungry forever! A few years ago he started living the vegan lifestyle and recently started a youtube cooking channel which is HILARIOUS! For those vegan friends, this is a great beginner channel to recommend to your friends who always ask you about making vegan recipes! We were supposed to film a segment over the holidays but never got around to it, so he decided to film one of my recipes on his own. Check it out!
I finally got a banner! (See top of the website.) Happy day! It’s probably not final, but at least it’s something!
My first food favorite is Natural Grocers, they have so many fun specialty items and are so much closer than Whole Foods.
I got the Whole Milk Greek Yogurt 100% grass fed for 1.50 by Maple Creamery; I forgot how good whole milk yogurt is!!!!!
I keep meaning to do a little IG video on why I love my new (affiliate link –>) six pack bag, but every time I load it up I’m running out the door. Right now I’m teaching three-hour classes back to back; I’m always so thankful to have this bag I can grab food out of in a flash.
- cottage cheese and spicy (affiliate link –>) Inka Plantain chips from Natural Grocers
- PB Yogurt Dip for apple dipping madness – using the whole milk maple Creamery yogurt
Gratitude Journaling – I’ve been doing this again, and it helps so much for maintaining a positive outlook. And just so you guys know, every single morning I make a list of everything I’m grateful for. You guys are ALWAYS on it. I’m thankful for every single reader and social media friend!
Suns vs. Lakes basketball game we went to the day after Valentine’s Day. Since I taught till 8 pm on Valentine’s Day there wasn’t much time to celebrate on the day, so we went to the game the next day! It sucks that downtown is SOOOO far away, but it was fun to go. Too bad the Suns aren’t doing that well this year. Not that I care except there was more people were wearing yellow than orange, which I think is sad.

You and the bananas! OMG…I can’t remember the last time I ate one. They feel like lead in my stomach. Take care of that injury girl!
I always think to write about my routine when I’m running out the door as well. I need to remember one of these days, or slow down!
I love packing lots of different snacks for a long day and eating every few hours. That PB yogurt dip sounds delicious!
it’s so good!
That Sunday workout: Was that from @paleomg by any chance? She has the best workout inspo! 🙂 I really hope your shoulder is much better today!
Awww yes it was, thank you for reminding me I just edited it to give her credit! Yes I love her workouts too, seriously girl crush on her!
Yay for a banner! I noticed immediately, and then was like, wait… was it always there? Lol. Just because a workout aggravated something doesn’t mean it is a bad workout. Just means that you missed a set for you. Now, if everyone gets burned doing it, then you know! I’m not going to lie, as you know, I’m weird about fatty things, and I don’t like whole milk ANYTHING. Ice cream, yogurt, cottage cheese, milk, any of it. It just is gross to me. More for you!
LOL I did not know that about you! We seem to make quite the pair, more for me it is!
