Thank you all for your congrats about my Glo Bar announcement! Your comments honestly made my day. Thank you, thank you, thank you for your support!
My morning started off with something I haven’t done since before vacation…my Booty Camp DVD! My muscles had a nice break for a couple weeks, but it is time to get back to it. I vow that I am going to stick with strength training in 2010! I find that it is so easy to get out of the habit of doing strength work…especially if you are a (previous) cardio junkie like me. It takes constant discipline and commitment for me to be able to consistently do strength work, but the benefits are so worth it!
[By the way the DVD is not online for sale yet, but I will let you know if/when it is!]
I did Level 2 today which was about 40 minutes of total body work + cardio segments. Sure woke me up!
I was not craving my normal green monster this morning (the horrors I know). All I could think about was the leftover QUINOA in the fridge saying, ‘Pour maple syrup over me and GOBBLE ME UP!’ :mrgreen:
I had about 1 cup of cooked quinoa (heated) and 2 tablespoons of pure maple syrup.
With a bunny scoop of raw almond butter. I was trying to recreate the wonderful almond butter and maple combination! ;)
Pretty in Pink Plate from target! :mrgreen:
Breakfast just doesn’t feel right without some type of veggie or fruit, so I had this super juicy grapefruit to go along with it! I don’t know how I went the first 25 years of my life hating grapefruit, but I sure am making up for lost time now!
It was a great breakfast!

Quote and a Question
The happiness of a man in this life does not consist in the absence but in the mastery of his passions. ~Alfred Lord Tennyson Today’s question- What are YOUR passions in life? If you could nail them down to 5-10 what would they be? Most importantly are you ACTING on them?
Mine:
- Writing
- Healthy baking + cooking
- Helping people
- Setting goals and achieving them
- Running
- Animals
- GM’s 4 Lyfe! hahah
Have a glowing and fabulous day!
I tried making quinoa cereal the other day and it was going so well and looked really good. I checked it half way through its cooking time and everything was fine. In the last 5 min. it burnt, all of it. And I had doubled the recipe so I wasted a whole box. :(. I’m going to try it again and now I know to cut the time down for my oven. It was so sad because it was looking so delicious.
I’m totally making that brekkie tomorrow! Yum!!! :)
My passions are my loved ones, reading, yoga, healthy food, entertaining, and wine!
what a great question! my passions are cooking/baking, helping people, photography, healthy living, staying active, the human body, travel, and writing. i’m thankful that i can say i HAVE started to act on them since i started my blog and am trying to brainstorm what the next step looks like!
That look de-lish Angela! And congrats on getting into a retail store that is a great accomplishment! When I am in the area I will make note to go grab some.
My passions change all the time, right now I would say my top 5 are:
– Spending time with Family/Friends
– Designing, Painting and Art
– Fitness
– Fixing up my house
– Listening to music
That grapefruit looks delicious. I’ve never really attempted to eat one, but now I want to.
My top passions are writing and cooking.
My passions are traveling, running, cooking, writing, movies, and having fun with friends and family!
My passions are my fiance, running/fitness, horseback riding, and outdoor adventures! Sadly I have not been on a horse in 2 years (since I sold my baby) but I have never given up the love of horses and I hope to ride again sometime in the future.
I’m quitting my job to start nursing school soon… I don’t know that that’s a passion per se, but it’s a step in the right direction, towards a more fulfilling career!
I seriously need to try sweet quinoa like that, it sounds delicious!!!
Do you have to buy your domain to install plug ins or can you do it when you still have a wordpress blog?
My passions include cooking, baking, running, exercise, healthy eating, photography, ministering to others.. Well I quit school (temporarily) to follow my passion of cooking to culinary school so I guess you could say that I am!
My passions:
Cooking and baking everything and anything
Painting and drawing
Theater
Teaching
Children
Rocks and minerals (especially in thin section)
Fitness
Volunteering
I am acting on all of these, except for the last one. I used to volunteer consistently in highschool and college, but since graduate school started, I can’t find a place around here to devote my time to. Also, I do not get to spend much time with children. It is sad! The passions I am consistently active in are cooking and baking, theater (not to the capacity I would like), painting and drawing, fitness (I ran 6 miles this morning!), and teaching (I teach a lab).
Thanks for this post, Angela!
Oh!!! The quinoa looks great! Yum!
My passions are to help people get excited about their lives and live them passionately. I’m on the path to do this as a full time career and am incredibly excited about it! I’m also passionate about self-growth, health, FOOD and travel!
Ever since my best friend in the 2nd grade introduced me to grapefruit I have become addicted! ;)
I’m very passionate about:
Nutrition, health, travel, track & field, and cooking!
Please note I am a college student announcing how much I LOVE cooking :)
I bought excellent PRE-WASHED Quinoa from Costco last week. It was really good. I’ve never tried it for breakfast, sounds good :)
I am a first time commenter, but I have been reading your blog for a while now :) Your blog was the first one I stumbled across and I really have to thank you because reading it has truly inspired me to change my eating habits for the better. I now have such a passion for nutrition and have discovered so many foods I never even knew existed (e.g., KALE!)
What are my passions? Hmmm… travel, cooking, baking, nutrition, running (slowly my passion for it is building – I hated it at first), and constantly learning new things
I am acting on them as much as possible while I am finishing up my masters degree this year. I managed to incorporate a work placement in Tanzania into my schooling which was incredible and allowed me to continue persuing my love of travel. I cook and bake as much as I can and always try to set aside some time after school to do it :)
My passions are the environment, yoga, health/nutrition/cooking delicious healthy food, being a mommy, and hiking. I love all forms of fitness not to the extent of being a passion like the other things I listed. I am living my passions to an extent though not as much as I would like to.
I’m a total cardio junkie too– I’m doing a strength-training challenge for the month of April!
Ooh, passions…family, food, writing, teaching, cooking…just to name a few ;-)
That breakfast quinoa may find its way to my plate this weekend!
Congrats again! I can only imagine the satisfaction and joy you feel every time your business take a new step forward!
So happy for you!! Now it’s time to work on getting them to a store in the States because I’m dying to try one!! :smile: My passions are laughing, eating, enjoying the sunshine, good music, family and friends.
my passions?
– writing
– nutrition
– mind and body wellness
– not sure
it used to be fitness…but i am coping with that loss for now…but i would like to think one day again it will possible!
no , i am ashamed to say i am not acting on them….i feel a bit lost in life now since stuck in a career for which i have no passion, but no money to do other courses….i have dreams…but unsure how to act on them…or if i can
your quinoa dish is amazing..how lovely!
and like i said, if u need a dedicated employee, i am up for it ! i can just send u my resume! u r an inspiration angela.
I really want to know where you buy your plates/bowls and placemats! If you bought them while you were in Florida, then that is understandable as Target is probably a wonderful place (I say probably, as I have never been there). But if you bought it around OUR area – could you pppppplllleeeeeeaseuhh tell me where you bought them? I think they make everything look more photogenic!
I’m somewhat considering posting my food up on my site as well. Oh and also? If you’re interested I’m giving away a High Sierra back pack on my website! :)
My passions in life are
-family and friends
-my kitties
-swimming
-hiking
-traveling
