Right Path

Just finished watching Food Inc. Seriously if you want your world rocked, and you want to understand why Bonfire exists, why it matters where you shop and what food you eat. Watch it. I dare you. Its free! Go get a free trial with Netflix and its one of the play now options and you can watch it right on your laptop. It was just another great reminder we are on the right path. Actually tomorrow night I get to share my "testimony" of sorts at a Bonfire party that is going to be filmed for the website! I am super pumped. I just have seen such radical changed in my health and life, and I honestly am so thankful and willing to share with anyone who will listen!

Also did a crossfit workout today. WOWIE! It's been a while. I kinda took a break and thought I could get away with it. I was reminded how much of an impact moving really has on my body. I was thankful to be able to do it again. You can bet I will be sore tomorrow:
5x5 Press
5 rounds of
30 Box jumps
40 Double Unders
20 kettle bell swings.
I was sweating and it took me 18 minutes. Not great. But ready to get back to where I was!

Here is an awesome smoothie recipe for these hot days we are being thrown. Tastes as good as a milkshake....actually better, and everything in it is good for you.

1 Banana
1/2 cup frozen strawberries
1/2 cup Almond milk
1/2 cup of Coconut dream bare coconut frozen dessert (dairy free)
You can add protein powder if you want a kick.
But blend and its delicious and creamy treat for hot summer days!

Let me help you understand....

So I get questions a lot about certain choices I'm making due to Bonfire. Unfortunately although I read a lot of info and understand it I just simply cant explain it as well as my lovely Chiro team can. So here is a link to a few post's that I think can help answer your burning questions (I know you have them...) about dairy, sunscreen, soy, grains, and workouts! So click click click away my friends. This is important info that can help your health and your child's health. Let's just say I am soooo glad I have learned what I have learned before getting preggo...I want to give my kids the best start I can.

Dairy

Sunscreen

Workout

Stress

Supplements (ie: Fish Oil)

Soy

Gym Freak

"Oh here she comes again. That Gym Freak. She does weird things like jump on boxes, and play with the medicine ball against the wall! I don't know what she is doing but the other day I SWORE she was doing it bare foot!"

Ok so I haven't actually heard someone say or think that but they probably have. You see I do strange things at the gym. Work outs that involve things most people have no clue what they are. You see Crossfit is a big part of the lives of the peeps who do Bonfire and the paleo diet, and I just hadn't gotten on the wagon yet. In fact I didn't think I could ever because the gym is a bit pricey. So I simply do a DIY Crossfit at the Y! I go on northshorecrossfit.com and look at the workout of the day. if I don't understand it I simply go to the videos on the main crossfit page and figure it out! I have loved it! It's so challenging and takes me about 20 mins and I AM DONE! I love having a plan and a workout to do that challenges me in new areas. I am seriously seeing the best results ever. It's all based on functional training and involves moves that your body was naturally meant to do. Its awesome and I encourage you to check it out in your town! If you can GO! You will be met by awesome trainers and a group of people who will cheer you on and challenge you in new ways! If not...just become a gym freak like me. I did do it bare foot one day but that's only because I forgot my gym shoes and wasn't going to trek all the way back to the house to get em. But it only made it even more Primal like. They looks I get are priceless! But hey while they are still doing the elliptical for another 40 minutes I am in, sweating, panting, and outta there.
GO MOVE YOURSELF!
