I’ve been doing a lot of this…
Sadly, not any of this…
Amazingly, I even miss this…
But I have been giggling at this…
That would be Bryan Kest Power Yoga in all his 80’s cut off jeans and Long John glory! As much as I make fun of the cheese factor in this video, Bryan has a wonderful, laid-back, do-only-what-you-can approach to yoga that I adore. He removes the intimidation factor.
I’m also doing a lot of these amazing back poses from Yoga Journal too.
I made an appointment next Wednesday with my doctor for my sore tailbone. It’s feeling a bit better now (with lingering tenderness), but I figure I should get it checked out in case I need an X-ray or physical therapy for it.
Not being able to do cardio exercise is torture for me though. I’m going stir crazy!
As per my Spring goal, I’ve been drinking a lot of fresh juice this week. It feels so good have the juicer back in my life.
Glowing Sunshine Juice
Ingredients
- 1 grapefruit, peeled
- 4 medium carrots
- fresh ginger (approximately 1/2-inch piece)
- 1/4 tsp raw maca powder (optional)
Check it out on the Foodthinkers website here.
I start my morning off with a fresh juice and then have breakfast about 30 minutes later. It makes breakfast extra delicious. :)
When I make juices, I never set out thinking of a ‘recipe’ or ‘flavour’ like I might with my other recipes. I usually just take whatever old veggies we have lying around and throw them in. I buy the old/discounted fruit and veggies from our grocery store specifically for juicing.
Lately I have been juicing with beets (responsible for that beautiful pink colour!), lemons, lime, carrots, ginger, grapefruit, apples (rarely), cucumbers, celery.
I think this one above was: 1/2 beet, 2 carrots, 1/2 English cucumber, 1/2 grapefruit, 1/2 inch piece ginger. It is not very sweet, but I don’t juice with sweet fruits very much (prefer to eat them!). If you like it sweet, add an apple or pear.
I also made Chocolate macaroons adding 1/3 cup of cocoa powder in the recipe I adapted from Healthy Hoggin.
The chocolate ones were good, but we both prefer the vanilla ones!
Last night we also made Nut Butter Crusted Parsnip fries. I TRIPLED the recipe this time because we had a friend over to watch the game. They did not last long!
Along with our favourite brew- Mill Street Organic.
Have a great Saturday!
I hope you feel better soon!
I am pretty sure I am going to have to start juicing just so I can have those gorgeous colors in my kitchen everyday! :-)
colorful juices…i’m inspired to eat healthier because of the colors :)
Those fries look delicious!! xo
i hope you get better soon! i feel your pain.. i wnt to run SO SO BAD- i had injuriesssss! i love all your juicin’!
Isn’t he hilarious? And the video is all soft focus and blurry to show spiritual he is. :) But with that said, I love him. I’m still on Power Yoga I but I definitely see so much improvements in my flexibility since Day 1!
HAHA the video is blurry too….nice effect! ;)
I love fresh juice!! It reminds me of warmer weather :)
Hi
How long do you feel that pain? and how lond you do not run?
I have achile injury in January on both legs so the pain was so bad that I have to take a break for 1 month I have my ankles swollen they went so big like my thigh.
About juicing I drink every mornig green juice no fruit no starchy sweet veggies, because when yo drink juice it is better without sugary things, that attack blood sugar. Did you read crazy sexy diet? Very very good book.
Yoga :-) I hate yoga when I was teenage, now when I am thirties have a baby and run I love yoga every day al least for 15-20 minutes, actually it help me a lot with running. So do not worry about break from running yoga will help you get back even stronger and more flexible
Awww, you’ll get back to cardio exercise soon. Take it easy for now, friend. You’ll be back in no time :)
I love juicing as well- I need to start doing it more often- that’s for reminding me! :)
Congrats to Eric for going a year pop free :) HUGE accomplishment!! Thanks for posting Steve Job’s speech–very moving. Say, what type of SLR do you have and any attachments? I know you’ve mentioned it here before, but could not find it. Thanks!!

I’m so sorry to hear about your tailbone.. I know exactly how you feel. Injuries are the WORST.

How exactly does juicing carrots (and other vegetables really) work? They really are beautiful colors…
I just found your blog and I am so excited to go back through your old posts. Those juices are really making me want to get a juicer!
I so wish I had food like that when I go to a friends house ‘to watch the game.’ You must be an amazing hostess
