Quick and dirty 1 pan post workout meal: ⁣
⁣
• 100g chicken breast ⁣
• 4 oz sweet potato ⁣
• 1/4 cup black beans ⁣
• 1/4 cup rice (uncooked- 1/2 cup cooked) ⁣
• liquid aminos (or soy sauce but I can’t have soy sauce Bc gluten allergy) ⁣
•garlic powder ⁣
•onion powder ⁣
•cayenne ⁣
⁣
Boom. Approx 500 calories ⁣
⁣
It ain’t aesthetic but it’s good. Good source of carbs and protein to replenish your muscles after a lift ⁣

Such a beautiful day in old town Albuquerque New Mexico ⁣
⁣
I spent the whole day alone after getting off the plane, walking around old town Albuquerque and treating myself to a bunch of amazing dates ⁣
⁣
•No calorie tracking⁣
•No school work ⁣
•No work out ⁣
•No meal plans⁣
⁣
two margaritas for brunch and a coffee by the fire till finally meeting up at my hotel in a few hours ⁣
⁣
I’ve been working on teaching myself to be flexible, not to have anxiety about the UNPLANNED. ⁣
⁣
I am the ~ write it all down in my planner and organize it by color ~ sort of person so when things are unplanned I’m bananas but today was amazing, I encourage you to try something similar @ On the Plaza in Old Town Albuquerque

Tbh I’ve had a hard and busy past couple weeks- haven’t been posting a lot but here’s a video I took a few days ago ⁣
⁣
Since I’ve been working on my handstands, I bookmarked a post from that I wanted to try and I did ⁣
⁣
Tried to keep my hips at a 90 degree angle, hung out here for a while and then tried bringing each leg up while rolling my thighs inward ⁣
⁣
Also tried to focused on keeping the abs braced and ribs tucked- my que for that is ‘pulling my belly button toward my spine’⁣
⁣
This is really harder than it looks, I did it a couple times and I’m trying to just get comfortable hanging out in this position and balancing my weight. ⁣
⁣
Definitely worth an shot and will be trying again

I am running a nutrition intervention project- if you are interested in being a potential volunteer please fill out my survey! :)

The purpose of an intervention would be to resolve or improve a nutrition-related problem and/ or diagnosis by providing advice, education, or delivery of the food component of a specific diet or meal plan tailored to the patient/client's* needs

This project is aimed to provide you with free help navigating your nutrition needs as well as helping me shape my skills as a future practitioner in the field of nutrition.

Thank you for your time!

I was feeling myself when I took this picture (what like 3 days ago?) ⁣
⁣
Plot twist: since then I have not been⁣
⁣
We are SO hard on ourselves and criticize the crap out of our own bodies ⁣
⁣
It can be really easy to lose sight of why you’re doing what you’re doing for me⁣
⁣
- health and fitness was a way to feel better and not end up with intestinal cancer again ⁣
- I want to fuel my body so it can fight off the bad ⁣
- I want to live long enough to make a positive impact on other people’s lives ⁣
- I want to fight fad fitness and pseudoscience ⁣
- I want to help people navigate nutrition and wellness to fit their own lives ⁣
⁣
This and many more reasons is why I do what I do, and it can be easy to criticize myself based on my aesthetic. ⁣
⁣
Anyone feel me on this? 🙋🏻‍♀️⁣
⁣
Try to remember your why, your deeper meaning for wellness that goes beyond what your body looks like. ⁣

Some 🍑 burnout to bless your whether you’re celebrating with bae or forever alone 🙃 ⁣
⁣
• Wednesday & Thursday’s are extra tough and long days ⁣
⁣
• I have to fit my lift in at around 330/4 am⁣
⁣
• Full day of classes and/ or fieldwork either with the sports nutritionist or the assisted living home ⁣
⁣
• Class ends around the time of rush hour traffic so instead of sitting in my car for 2 hours I wait it out at my schools gym doing cardio or a burnout related to my lift ⁣
⁣
• No one HAS time, they MAKE time

Another ab finisher 🔥 ⁣
⁣
I was aiming for a type of full body semi HIIT ⁣
⁣
I went in with no plan and limited time to work out so I strapped some weights to my ankles and kind of just did what came to mind and this is what happened - not gonna lie it had me sweating 😅

⁣
Also got this juice: ⁣
•Apple⁣
•Beet⁣
•Cucumber⁣
•Celery⁣
•Ginger ⁣
•Lemon ⁣
⁣
They’re vegetarian, vegan, and gluten friendly (I have celiacs so that’s important to me) and sooo good with a ton of options.⁣
⁣
I’ll definitely be going again

I literally couldn’t decide which one to post but I was hardcore craving these today and wanted to bless you with the colors and aesthetic of my revamped protein pancakes with berry “syrup” ⁣
