into an opportunity to kill some fat while the gangsters kill each other?
Get your workout gear on, warm up with the theme song, & get ready to
sweat! Whenever the following happen, do the assigned activity:</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Candara; font-size: 13.5pt;">Can you tell I like to eat quinoa? Here is another flexible recipe for a great meal (it’s gluten-free &
vegan, too). If you don’t have the exact vegetables on hand this recipe
calls for, use what you have!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<b><u><span style="font-family: Candara; font-size: 13.5pt;">Ingredients</span></u></b><span style="font-family: Candara; font-size: 13.5pt;"><br />
3 cups cooked quinoa (1 cup dry quinoa + 2 cups water)<br />
2 bell peppers, roughly chopped<br />
2 zucchini, diced in large pieces<br />
1 onion, diced<br />
3 garlic cloves, minced<br />
1 jalapeño pepper (seeds & membranes removed), diced<br />
1 bunch fresh cilantro, chopped<br />
1 lime, juiced<br />
1/2 tsp cumin (dry)<br />
1/2 tsp coriander (dry)<br />
1 tsp chili powder<br />
a pinch of salt<br />
1 Tbsp oil of your choice<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<b><u><span style="font-family: Candara; font-size: 13.5pt;">Preparation</span></u></b><span style="font-family: Candara; font-size: 13.5pt;"><br />
1. Cook the quinoa according to the package instructions.<br />
2. Sauté the peppers, zucchini, jalapeno, and garlic in a little oil
until the vegetables are bright colored & crisp tender.<br />
3. Turn off the heat, mix in everything else.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<b><u><span style="font-family: Candara; font-size: 13.5pt;">Suggestions</span></u></b><span style="font-family: Candara; font-size: 13.5pt;"><br />
Serve as-is for a delicious meatless meal.<br />
Serve on the side<br />
Have with lettuce for a tasty salad (my lunch plan for the week)<br />
Sprinkle with a little bit of cheese (queso fresco, feta, or cheddar are all
good)<br />
Add black beans<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #555555; font-family: Candara; font-size: 13.5pt;">Bodyrock/The Daily HIIT recently made a 30-day real-time challenge of 12 minute daily workouts. I volunteered to write about each day as a way to stay accountable. This long post is a summary of my results, a link to the entire challenge, and all of my articles related to the challenge. My articles detail the workout, but also any modifications I did. Since I did most of the workouts during my lunch break, I had to convert many exercises to bodyweight-only, or dumbbell-only. If you are a beginner or don't have the equipment they promote, check out my articles for substitution ideas. If you are looking for equipment, you can find it <a href="http://astore.amazon.com/moveathealivb-20?_encoding=UTF8&node=1" target="_blank">here</a>.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

blog about the challenge so that I would have an extra push to complete my workouts on
time. I can honestly say that I only missed one workout, & that was
due to whiplash after a car accident. I also added quite a few bonus
workouts. </span><span style="color: #555555; font-family: Candara; font-size: 13.5pt; line-height: 18.75pt;">Diet-wise,
I mostly ate clean, but I didn’t carefully watch portions. As much as I
would love to be strict about portions, every single time that I am, my milk
supply significantly drops (I breastfeed my son). I know where I need to
make improvements, and fully intend to follow through on those areas when I
can.</span></div>

will only take you so far – abs ARE made in the kitchen, and in my case portion
sizes are what need to be modified.<o:p></o:p></span></i></strong></div>

<script async="" src="//assets.pinterest.com/js/pinit.js" type="text/javascript"></script>We all have days
that it seems impossible to do a legitimate workout. Let’s be honest:
after my son was born, I had too many days like that. I got into the
habit of sneaking in little bits of activity so that at the end of the day I
felt like I did something good for myself.</span><br />

times as you can throughout the day: 10 (jump) squats + 10 push ups with side
plank twist + 10 lying leg lift butt lifts. This little round only takes
me 1 min & 20 sec. I usually do this before a shower, before brushing
my teeth, or before bed on days I don’t have time for a workout.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<script async="" src="//assets.pinterest.com/js/pinit.js" type="text/javascript"></script>I’m sure that title
may not sit well with some people. Stick
with me, I don’t intend to be offensive.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Candara; font-size: 13.5pt;"><span style="color: #444444;">I
work in radiation oncology. I have met countless patients in the midst of
cancer treatment. While I no longer provide direct patient care, I still hear
stories. I see their faces. I will always carry the lessons I have learned from
the people I’ve been fortunate to treat. Working in a field where you are
surrounded by people fighting for more time and/or less pain has completely changed
me. The lens through which I view the world is permanently different. Issues
that many people get angry over or fixate on seem trivial to me. Most arguments
I see as a waste of time.</span></span></div>

<a name='more'></a><span style="color: #444444;"><span style="font-family: Candara; font-size: 13.5pt; line-height: 18.75pt;">Many
of us, including me, operate with the assumption that we have a long life ahead
of us. We take our health, our most valuable asset, for granted. When illness
or injury befall us, that false sense of security vanishes like a raindrop in
the ocean. We then see just how valuable health is.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Candara; font-size: 13.5pt;"><span style="color: #444444;">This
brings me to the title of this post: self loathing is a luxury. I do not equate
depression and self loathing. Depression is a real debilitating disorder. I am
referring to healthy people who constantly criticize themselves. They hate
their thighs, smile, stomach, perceived inabilities, hair, etc.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Candara; font-size: 13.5pt;"><span style="color: #444444;">My
middle school had a motto that I found stupid at the time, but now appreciate.
“Attitude is Everything.” Life, and
fitness, are filled with set-backs and disappointments, but we have the power
to change our experiences by choosing how we react.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<div style="background-color: white; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; line-height: 18.75pt; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: Candara; font-size: 13.5pt;"><span style="color: #444444;">Week
1: Do not say anything negative AT ALL. You can think it, but do not say it.<br />
Week 2: Same, but consciously find something positive about negative
experiences.<br />
Week 3: Same, but share your positive observations with others.<br />
Week 4: Same, but in conversation, discourage negativity in others by not
engaging them if they berate themselves.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div style="background: white; line-height: 18.75pt; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; line-height: 18.75pt; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: Candara; font-size: 13.5pt;"><span style="color: #444444;">Within
a few weeks, you may realize how hard you are on yourself, and you will quickly
see negativity in others, too. I can’t put in words how helpful this technique
has been for me.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; line-height: 18.75pt; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: Candara; font-size: 13.5pt;"><span style="color: #444444;">What
are some of the ways you have held yourself back? Are you willing to step out
of your own way so that you can enjoy your life? What are some techniques you
have used to squelch negativity?<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Candara; font-size: 13.5pt;"><span style="color: #444444;">Time
is too valuable to squander via self hatred. Life is just too precious, and too

the country, I am reading the airline’s magazine, Hemispheres. In the January
2014 edition, page 76 lists some off-the-beaten-path activities for the year.
First up for January? No Pants Subway Ride in <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:city w:st="on">New York City</st1:city></st1:place>.</span><span style="color: #555555; font-family: Candara; font-size: 13.5pt; line-height: 18.75pt;"> </span></div>

<span style="color: #555555; font-family: Candara; font-size: 13.5pt;">Am
I the only person who has never heard of this??? Apparently this event has been
around since 2002 in NYC, and is now carried out in multiple cities worldwide.
It just happened Jan 12, 2014 (damn….) So what happens? Transit users hop
aboard sans pants and do their best to act normally. The only rule is that
participants must wear underwear.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #555555; font-family: Candara; font-size: 13.5pt;">1.
I would never join this tradition, but if I did, I would have to stand for the
entire ride. How could you possibly want to sit, ever again, knowing that all
those undie-only clad booties made direct contact with the seat? I used to ride
the train to work. On more than one occasion some random drunk guy sat on me,
mistaking my lap for a seat. A pant-less version of that would have made me
vomit, or punch someone.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #555555; font-family: Candara; font-size: 13.5pt;"><span style="line-height: 18.75pt;">2.
It would be like walking </span><span style="line-height: 25px;">among</span><span style="line-height: 18.75pt;"> Bodyrockers if everyone was fit….half naked
people in their skivvies everywhere you look.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

If I made eye contact with anyone, I would bust out laughing.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

January in NYC without pants?? I can’t imagine being scarf-less in that
weather, let alone pant-less.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #555555; font-family: Candara; font-size: 13.5pt;">5.
Do people workout more ahead of time, knowing their lower halves will be bare
for all subway-goers to see?<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #555555; font-family: Candara; font-size: 13.5pt;">Have
you heard of, or better yet, participated in one of these events? If you did
participate, was it a one-time thing, or do you look forward to it annually?
Did you make friends? Did a drunk guy sit on you (I hope I’m not alone in that
club). I wonder how many people get dates out of it….<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #555555; font-family: Candara; font-size: 13.5pt;">Here’s
a quick lower body workout with cardio to get you ready for the big day next
year:<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="background: white; line-height: 18.75pt; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; line-height: 18.75pt; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<span style="color: #555555; font-family: Candara; font-size: 13.5pt;">Set
your timer for: 10 sec rest/50 sec work<br />
7 exercises per round = 7 min per round.<br />
Aim for a minimum of 2 rounds, but do 3-4 if you can.<br />
Equipment: timer, jump rope (both optional….find a free timer here, and sub
other cardio for jump rope if you need to)<br />
Make sure to warm up and cool down.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #555555; font-family: Candara; font-size: 13.5pt;">Too long ago, 16
year old me was showing off my awesome hunter-green satin and velvet prom dress
with rhinestone spaghetti straps to my Grandma. I thought I looked DAMN
GOOD. When I asked what she thought of my dress, she said something complimentary,
followed by a line I have grown to love over time:<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="background: white; line-height: 18.75pt; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; line-height: 18.75pt; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<strong><span style="color: #555555; font-family: Candara; font-size: 13.5pt; font-weight: normal;">“We are all young and pretty once.”<o:p></o:p></span></strong></div>
<div style="background: white; line-height: 18.75pt; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; line-height: 18.75pt; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<span style="color: #555555; font-family: Candara; font-size: 13.5pt;">Think
about that for a moment. No matter what your age is, you will never be
younger than you are now. You may favorably weather the storm of time,
but time will not leave you physically unchanged (even if you have procedures
to slow it’s effects).</span></div>
<div style="background: white; line-height: 18.75pt; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">

<span style="color: #555555; font-family: Candara; font-size: 13.5pt;">Grandma
wasn’t trying to bring me down; she was trying to prevent me from having an
over-inflated ego based on my appearance. The values that she and others
instilled taught me that me nobody’s worth is defined by their physical
appearance. Beauty fades (and can be overshadowed by narcissism).
Health deteriorates. The beauty industry is not to be trusted.
Do your best to improve upon or maintain what you have, but don’t let
your appearance define who you are. Certainly don’t judge others by their
appearance alone. Our character is what defines us, not our looks.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="background: white; line-height: 18.75pt; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">

<span style="color: #555555; font-family: Candara; font-size: 13.5pt;">Have
you heard of Lizzie Velasquez? She was born with an unknown syndrome that
only one other person EVER has been known to have. She can’t gain weight,
has noticeable physical abnormalities, and can only see out of one eye.
Her parents raised her as though she didn’t have the syndrome. She
didn’t realize that she was different from other kids until she went to
kindergarten, where the other kids didn’t want to play with her. Of
course that was terrible for Lizzie. Rather than pity her situation, her
parents told her that the only difference between her and the other kids was
that she was smaller. Her syndrome did not define her.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="background: white; line-height: 18.75pt; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; line-height: 18.75pt; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<span style="color: #555555; font-family: Candara; font-size: 13.5pt;">“Go
to school, pick your head up, smile, continue to be yourself, and people will
see that you’re just like them.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; line-height: 18.75pt; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background: white; line-height: 18.75pt; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="color: #555555; font-family: Candara; font-size: 13.5pt;">Lizzie did that, but
she had a really hard time growing up. She thought her physical
appearance was largely who she was, and she hated her appearance. Every
day she prayed to wake up without the syndrome and to look normal.
Everyday she woke up disappointed. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="background: white; line-height: 18.75pt; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background: white; line-height: 18.75pt; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="color: #555555; font-family: Candara; font-size: 13.5pt;">Lizzie is fortunate
to have an amazing family. They were supportive, but taught her that her
life is her responsibility, and that she had to define herself in a
non-physical way.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="background: white; line-height: 18.75pt; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="color: #555555; font-family: Candara; font-size: 13.5pt;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; line-height: 18.75pt; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<span style="color: #555555; font-family: Candara; font-size: 13.5pt;">On
YouTube, a video was posted with pictures of her, where the poster called her
the “Ugliest Woman in the World.” Commentators said exceptionally cruel
things, including a suggestion that she kill herself.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; line-height: 18.75pt; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">

<div style="background: white; line-height: 18.75pt; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<strong><span style="color: #555555; font-family: Candara; font-size: 13.5pt; font-weight: normal;">Can
you imagine telling a person to KILL THEMSELVES over their appearance?
Can you imagine if someone said that to you?</span></strong><span style="color: #555555; font-family: Candara; font-size: 13.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #555555; font-family: Candara; font-size: 13.5pt;">Of course, the video
hurt her. But rather than crawl in a hole, she turned it into an opportunity.
She completed college, became a motivational speaker and is a published
author. She recently gave a speech at the Ted conference in <st1:city w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Austin</st1:place></st1:city>, which motivated
me to write this post.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #555555; font-family: Candara; font-size: 13.5pt;">We can all learn
from Lizzie. Rather than focus on our weaknesses or failures, let’s look
at what we have and be grateful for that. Let’s use our strengths to
define us and to steer our lives. We can lead healthy lifestyles while
being compassionate and caring. Wouldn’t you want to be treated that way?
Let’s teach our children the same through our actions rather than our
words. What could be more beautiful than that?<o:p></o:p></span></div>

negatives in your life that you have thrived in spite of? What are the

are?<o:p></o:p></span></div>

you never can be old,</span></em><span style="color: #555555; font-family: Candara; font-size: 13.5pt;"><br />
<em>For as you were when first your eye I

summers’ pride,</em><br />
<em>Three beauteous springs to yellow autumn
turn’d,</em><br />
<em>In process of the seasons have I seen,</em><br />
<em>Three April perfumes in three hot Junes
burn’d,</em><br />
<em>Since first I saw you fresh, which yet
are green.</em><br />
<em>Ah! yet doth beauty like a dial-hand,</em><br />
<em>Steal from his figure, and no pace
perceiv’d;</em><br />
<em>So your sweet hue, which methinks still
doth stand,</em><br />
<em>Hath motion, and mine eye may be
deceiv’d:</em><br />

<span style="color: #555555; font-family: Candara; font-size: 13.5pt;">Here’s a quick
workout to attempt to slow the effect of time on our muscles. One round
took me about 11 minutes. I did 2 rounds.<o:p></o:p></span><br />

Put Down the Rice Cake. 11 Health & Fitness Lessons I Wish I’d Learned Sooner<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.dailyhiit.com/hiit-blog/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/55201_1642430373549_701228_o-e1389303853586.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><br /><img border="0" src="http://www.dailyhiit.com/hiit-blog/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/55201_1642430373549_701228_o-e1389303853586.jpg" /></a></div>
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Candara, sans-serif; font-size: 13.5pt; line-height: 18.75pt;">I
have loved to do cardio-based workouts since I was a little kid. As a
child I used to hop on my Grandma’s stationary bike & would mimic my Mom
doing her Kathy Smith aerobic videos. In high school I ran around my
neighborhood, swam, & did other cardio. Sometimes I did those things
AFTER tennis or swim practice. If I could step in a time machine &
tell young me a few health & fitness related things, this is what they
would be:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Candara, sans-serif; font-size: 13.5pt; line-height: 18.75pt;"></span><br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
<span style="font-family: Candara, sans-serif; font-size: 13.5pt; line-height: 18.75pt;">1. Do
body-weight exercises to build strength. Push-ups, squats, & lunges…you
know, all the stuff you hate doing in PE. Mrs. Ruderman is right: that’s
what will get you into bikini shape. Your hour long session on Mom’s
Nordic Track followed by a jog in the park won’t build muscle. You need a mix
of exercises, not just cardio.</span><br />
<div style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in;">
<div style="background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; line-height: 18.75pt; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; line-height: 18.75pt; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: Candara, sans-serif; font-size: 13.5pt;">2.
Mrs Ruderman [high school gym teacher] is right. All the exercises you do
in PE are what adults pay someone to tell them to do when they are older.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; line-height: 18.75pt; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; line-height: 18.75pt; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: Candara, sans-serif; font-size: 13.5pt;">3.
Muscle is your friend, & it won’t make you look like a boy.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; line-height: 18.75pt; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; line-height: 18.75pt; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: Candara, sans-serif; font-size: 13.5pt;">4.
Balance all meals and snacks so they include a healthy ratio of fat,
carbohydrate, & protein. A packet of saltines & an apple are
hardly the right thing to eat before a swim meet. A chimichanga and
churro from the school lunch cart are terrible options, too (<em>how the hell were you so skinny?</em>).<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; line-height: 18.75pt; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; line-height: 18.75pt; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: Candara, sans-serif; font-size: 13.5pt;">5.
Low-fat high-carbohydrate meals are NOT what’s best for you. Remember
what I just said about balancing meals? Eating healthy fats in <em>moderation</em> is GOOD
for you. Stop avoiding butter and oil. Put a little cheese on the
whole-wheat broccoli pizza that you made for your family. Tell your
family you love them for eating the pizza, too. The only reason they
tried that scary creation was because they love you.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; line-height: 18.75pt; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; line-height: 18.75pt; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: Candara, sans-serif; font-size: 13.5pt;">6.
Stop obsessing over the number on the scale. Instead, focus on how you
feel & how your body looks. Do you feel strong & energetic?
How is your skin?<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; line-height: 18.75pt; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; line-height: 18.75pt; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: Candara, sans-serif; font-size: 13.5pt;">7.
Don’t be intimidated by weight machines at the gym. Ask for help if you
aren’t sure how a machine works. The people who work at the gym are PAID
to help you.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; line-height: 18.75pt; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; line-height: 18.75pt; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: Candara, sans-serif; font-size: 13.5pt;">8. Stop thinking that
everyone is critiquing your every move. 99.9% of the people who you are
worried about are not paying attention to you. They are thinking about other
things, or worrying that everyone is critiquing them. Listen to “Wasting
Time” by Jack Johnson. Wait, it hasn’t
been written yet. Memorize these lyrics:<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; line-height: 18.75pt; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; line-height: 18.75pt; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt 0.1in;">
<span style="font-family: Candara, sans-serif; font-size: 13.5pt;">But everybody thinks that everybody knows<br />
About everybody else but nobody knows<br />
Anything about themselves<br />
Because they’re all worried about everybody else<br />
<em>(Jack Johnson – Wasting
Time Lyrics | MetroLyrics)<o:p></o:p></em></span></div>
<div style="background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; line-height: 18.75pt; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; line-height: 18.75pt; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: Candara, sans-serif; font-size: 13.5pt;">9. Stop drinking water from
plastic bottles you left in the car on hot days.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; line-height: 18.75pt; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: Candara, sans-serif; font-size: 13.5pt;">10. Stop telling everyone how
bad their health habits are. It’s annoying, & you aren’t an expert.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; line-height: 18.75pt; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; line-height: 18.75pt; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: Candara, sans-serif; font-size: 13.5pt;">11. In a few years you will
want to make “healthy” chocolate chip cookies to give as Christmas treats.
Just make real cookies. Don’t poison your friends & family with
sucralose. Don’t give them applesauce cookies. When people want a
chocolate chip cookie, they don’t want a healthy fake. On that note, stop
eating things with fake sugar.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; line-height: 18.75pt; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; line-height: 18.75pt; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: Candara, sans-serif; font-size: 13.5pt;">I could go on, but who has
hours and hours to kill? Not me, and probably not you, either. What
have you learned that you wish you could tell your younger self?<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; line-height: 18.75pt; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">

<span style="font-family: Candara, sans-serif; font-size: 13.5pt;">Here’s a quick body-weight
routine that my high school gym teacher would approve of:<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Candara; font-size: 13.5pt;">Here's a<a href="http://www.dailyhiit.com/hiit-blog/hiit-diet/healthy-recipes/curried-butternut-squash-soup-hot-delicious-easy/" target="_blank"> link to the original that post I shared </a>over at the Daily HIIT.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Candara; font-size: 13.5pt;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Candara; font-size: 13.5pt;">I love<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span><em>The
New Moosewood Cookbook</em>, although I am not vegetarian. It has
some amazing recipes, & this soup is derived from one of them. There
are many butternut squash soup recipes (I already have <a href="http://www.moveeatlivewell.com/2012/01/having-cold-really-sucks-butternut.html" target="_blank">another</a> on my blog),
but what makes this one different is the technique. First, you roast the
squash, which gives it a depth of flavor lacking in steamed squash.
Second, the recipe doesn't call for curry powder. Onion &
garlic are sautéed with a combination of spices, which gives you control over
your curry flavor. Last, you have the option of having a smooth, pureed
soup or retain texture by not pureeing the onion mixture at the end.
This has become my go-to curried butternut squash soup recipe. It is
vegetarian, exploding with beta-carotene, delicious, & of course, healthy.
If you try it, let me know what you think!<br />

<b><u><span style="font-family: Candara; font-size: 13.5pt;">PREPARATION<o:p></o:p></span></u></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Candara; font-size: 13.5pt;">1. Pre-heat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Cut the butternut squash in half lengthwise,
remove the seeds (Don’t throw them away.
You can roast them just like pumpkin seeds!). Roast facedown on a baking sheet for 30-40
minutes. If you are short on time, you
can peel/cube the squash, then steam.
The flavor is a little different than if you roast the squash, but it is
still good. Once the squash is cooked,
scoop out 3 cups of squash, & puree in a food processor with water until
smooth. Mix in the orange juice. <i> (I always use ALL of the squash, not just 3
cups. If you do that, note how much
squash you use, because you will need to use more water & seasoning
accordingly.)<o:p></o:p></i></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Candara; font-size: 13.5pt;">2. In a skillet, sauté the onion, garlic, &
ginger with all of the spices (except cayenne) until the onion is very soft (about
8 minutes). Add a little water if the
onion sticks, & stir often. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Candara; font-size: 13.5pt;">3. Add
the onion mixture to the squash & puree together. Heat the soup over medium heat, & add
cayenne pepper if desired. Adjust the
seasoning if you want to. Serve with a
squeeze lemon juice or a bit of plain yogurt if you think it’s too sweet. <br />
<br /><b><i><u>
Alternatives</u></i></b><br />
1 – The original recipe calls for mushrooms (1/2 lb, sliced), which are added
to the onion mixture after the first 8 minutes, cooked covered for 10
minutes. I hate mushrooms, which is why
I don’t include it in my version.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Candara; font-size: 13.5pt;">2 – I
have added roasted sweet potato to this soup a few times. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #333333; font-family: Candara;"><span style="font-size: 13.5pt;">Fall = football, colorful leaves,
& comfort food, right? One problem…most
comfort food isn't healthy, & involves casseroles, which I don’t
make. Tonight I whipped
up a 1-pot rice concoction out of what was in the fridge, & it was a hit
with me, my husband, my baby, & even the cat was begging for some. The picture doesn't do the dish justice. If you like turkey & rice casserole,
give this lighter version a try. While you
won’t find cream-of-anything soup or cheese in it, you will find flavor & a
satisfying, healthy, hearty meal. What’s
more comforting than that?<o:p></o:p></span></span><br />

food, & a little of our food. I dared to throw over-ripe bananas in
last week, which my husband asked me to use today. I made banana
"ice cream" by pureeing the frozen bananas in the food processor.
I forgot how easy & delicious it is!</span><o:p></o:p></div>

<a name='more'></a><br />
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Candara; font-size: 13.5pt;">Obviously I’m not a superhero or demigod, but
I do have a powerful weakness. I have
been unsuccessfully hunting for healthy alternative to chocolate chip cookies
for years. <i><b><u>YEARS</u></b></i>. When I stumbled
across a “two-ingredient” cookie on the burlap bag’s site, I thought, <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Candara; font-size: 13.5pt;">“Finally! My quest may be over!”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Candara; font-size: 13.5pt;">I was wrong, but learned something
valuable. You can’t make a healthy
cookie and expect it to taste like the cookie it’s meant to replace. It will always taste like something
else. If I want a chocolate chip cookie,
only a real one will do, which to me means butter, sugar, flour, eggs, & of
course, chocolate chips. </span><span style="font-family: Candara;"><span style="font-size: large;"><i><b><u>Healthy cookies
should be called out for what they are (besides a myth): breakfast.</u></b></i></span></span><span style="font-family: Candara; font-size: 13.5pt;"> I am officially ending my fruitless search
for a healthy chocolate chip cookie that tastes as good as <a href="http://www.epicurious.com/recipes/food/views/Chocolate-Chip-Cookies-108703" target="_blank">this incredible recipe</a>. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Candara; font-size: 13.5pt;">I turned the <a href="http://www.theburlapbag.com/2012/07/2-ingredient-cookies-plus-the-mix-ins-of-your-choice/" target="_blank">burlap bag’s 2-ingredient cookie</a>
into a breakfast bar with more ingredients.
What is funny to me is that they came up with their 2-ingredient cookie
based off of a breakfast bar…<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">

<span style="font-family: Candara; font-size: 13.5pt;">If you read my blog, you may have noticed that when I cook with red meat, it is usually grassfed flank steak. When I grocery shop for my family, I make a point to buy grassfed beef, wild caught fish, & cage-free organic poultry. Today I came across a great article about grassfed beef. If you aren't sure about why grassfed beef is better for your health, the environment, & the cow, please take the time to read this article! </span><br />

Often<o:p></o:p></span></i></div>
<div class="normal" style="margin-bottom: 10.0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Candara; font-size: 13.5pt; line-height: 115%;">Staying on track with your healthy eating
plan does not mean you have to starve yourself while you are traveling. It is more than fine to indulge and eat at
your favorite restaurant once or twice during your vacation. However, be sure to maintain balance by
munching on healthy snacks
that will reduce your hunger when you do go out to eat. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="normal" style="margin-bottom: 10.0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Candara; font-size: 13.5pt; line-height: 115%;">By visiting fruit stands and choosing
apples, mangoes, strawberries and other similar fruits, you will gain an edge
over your hunger cravings and will effectively reduce binge eating on fatty
foods. Drinking lots of water while you
walk around to your favorite shops or theme parks is another great way to
reduce cravings and slow down hunger on vacation.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="normal" style="margin-bottom: 10.0pt;">
<i><span style="font-family: Candara; font-size: 13.5pt; line-height: 115%;">Research
Hotels in the City You Visit<o:p></o:p></span></i></div>
<div class="normal" style="margin-bottom: 10.0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Candara; font-size: 13.5pt; line-height: 115%;">If you are planning on spending the
majority of your vacation in one particular city, take time to call ahead and
research your hotel options. Many hotels
offer fitness gyms and yoga rooms and this can be a great way to get in a
morning workout before your day starts.
Hotels are also great resources for recommending quality, nutritional
restaurants that provide healthy menu options.
Take time to ask about sushi bars, farmers market stands and healthy
deli options in the neighborhood of the hotel you will be staying at. The ways
that I have been able to find great reliable information while researching is
through reading personal reviews. I recently found a great site on a trip out
west that listed reviews for all of the <a href="http://www.gogobot.com/las-vegas--hotels">hotels in Las Vegas</a>. Not
only did it list reviews regarding the hotel and amenities that were offered,
but there were also reviews regarding surrounding restaurants and even
regarding things to do. This information made it so easy to plan out every step
of my trip and to ensure that I had a great time while also catering to my
healthy lifestyle. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="normal" style="margin-bottom: 10.0pt;">
<i><span style="font-family: Candara; font-size: 13.5pt; line-height: 115%;">Load
Up on the Vegetables and Vitamins<o:p></o:p></span></i></div>
<div class="normal" style="margin-bottom: 10.0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Candara; font-size: 13.5pt; line-height: 115%;">When you do go to restaurants, check out
the vegetable options. Instead of
ordering fried appetizers, ask about cheese and fruit appetizers. You can also ask about cold cut vegetables
and hummus dip or baked wheat tortillas with a healthy salsa dip. Instead of ordering a side of mashed potatoes
or French fries to go with your steak, ask for grilled asparagus or a side
salad. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="normal" style="margin-bottom: 10.0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Candara; font-size: 13.5pt; line-height: 115%;">Many restaurants also take pains to
provide gourmet <a href="http://healthland.time.com/2012/10/01/guide-the-31-healthiest-foods-of-all-time-with-recipes/">healthy
side dishes</a> for their health-conscious guests. Some of these wholesome side dishes are
delicious and they can include steamed broccoli with lightly grated cheese
added, grilled bell peppers and baked zucchini patties. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="normal" style="margin-bottom: 10.0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Candara; font-size: 13.5pt; line-height: 115%;">Taking vitamins each day can also help to
supply you with the proper nutrients that will sustain your body during the
day. Look for vitamins that include
calcium and other nutrients your body needs to remain strong and healthy. With just a little effort and a
nutrition-conscious attitude, you can eat amazing foods without giving in to
unhealthy cravings during your vacation.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Candara; font-size: 13.5pt;">My avocado
tree is almost done for the season. I
have made a TON of guacamole, & tried a few new (to me) avocado
recipes. This one, inspired by a recipe
I stumbled across from <a href="http://ohsheglows.com/2011/01/31/15-minute-creamy-avocado-pasta/" target="_blank">Oh She Glows</a>, is delicious, & super easy. It is very similar to the </span><a href="http://moveeatlivewell.blogspot.com/2012/06/peruvian-green-spaghetti.html" style="font-family: Candara; font-size: 13.5pt;" target="_blank">Peruvian Green Spaghetti</a><span style="font-family: Candara;"><span style="font-size: 13.5pt;">
recipe I've posted on this site. The quantities are very flexible, so adjust according to what you prefer. While
very tasty with pasta, the avocado sauce could be served as a dip. I did not try it yet, but adding in spinach
& a little lemon juice would probably be good.</span></span><br />
