Chair Cardio Movements for Lower Body Injuries

I sprained my ankle in Chicago after graduating from the NTA program back in February. Ever since my entire right foot has not been the same. I re-injured it a month later that developed into a stress fracture; which leads me to the boot! And even though I am no longer in a boot, the doctors have found that I have a tarsal coalition that can lead to surgery or wearing orthotics for the rest of my life. So while I am weighing my options, I have been getting creative in my workouts so that I don’t make it worse.

Brownie Batter Banana Bread Muffins

Who doesn’t love a fun mashup! *No pun intended! I have combined my two favorites into one magnificent treat, paleo banana bread, and chocolate! And while I may have used different ingredients, these muffins are still paleo-friendly and naturally lower in sugar.

What I love about these muffins, is that they arguably taste like dessert! It’s hard to believe they are nutritious enough to be considered a snack, pre-workout fuel, or a great addition to your morning smoothie!

Spicy Watermelon Margaritas

When I think about the summer, I think about watermelon - lots of it! During the summer, I usually have a watermelon on the kitchen counter, watermelon cubes in the freezer (recipe coming soon), or fresh watermelon juice in the fridge. Can’t get enough of this sweet melon!

So what are ways that you can use watermelon cubes or fresh watermelon juice? Make margaritas, of course! I mean, why wouldn’t you! All you have to do is salt a rim, juice a lime, ice in a glass, and add optional jalapeno slices for the spice factor! How easy is that?

Pacific Coast Highway Road Trip in a Camper Van Part 2

As we are driving down to San Francisco, we stopped by this amazing oyster restaurant, Hog Island Oyster Co in Marshall, where you can shuck your own oysters! We didn’t stop at too many restaurants because we have a kitchen in the van, but you must stop here! If you want more information, I love this blog post on the experience.

After stuffing our faces with oysters, San Fran bound for the rest of the day! Depending on what you want to do in the City by the Bay, one to two days is plenty of time! For the day, here is what we did:

Pacific Coast Highway Road Trip in a Camper Van Part 1

The Pacific Coast Highway road trip has been on my bucket list for quite some time! The inner hippie in me has always wanted to rent a camper van (or live in one) and travel down Highway 1 and see what the beautiful scenic route had to offer me.

And that is just what I did this past summer. Flew into Seattle, rented a camper van, and drove down the beautiful scenic highway all the way down to Los Angeles. Now, I understand that the Pacific Northwest has amazing food, tourist spots, etc but if you are wanting a hippie version that is chock full of hiking adventures, living/lodging in a camper van, and getting lost in the beauty of the pacific coast, then you are in the right place!
