Hey Crystal . . . Thanks for asking about the leg - I think its a tendon behind the right knee - hurts to bend it completely. Used to be the hamstring/glute insertion - either migrated or this is just worse pain so I don't notice the glute anymore! I love ashtanga yoga - but, have yet to master the jump through/back - so that kind of frustrates me during practice sometimes. Right now I'm doing a combination of styles - mainly vinyasa flow with an emphasis on alignment - just feels so good!! I actually should probably not be doing it at all - probably aggravating the tendon! Having some fresh cut watermelon in a bit . . . I eat a lot, huh?

AM: 45 min run outside in rain been a long time since we've seen rain! 7:45am smoothie and one grapefruit 10am nectarine, plum, almonds and cashews 12p apple 2:30pm steamed veggies and butternut squash with homemade peanut curry sauce 4pm back/bi 5pm will have one piece of fruit 7pm will have big raw salad w/beans and avocado for dinner

AM: yoga and 30 min walk - active rest day Went to AR Conference ... amazing! Cheat day - had sweet potato fries and homemade chips mmmmmmm. But, also had a wonderful raw quiche at ARC and all raw veggies and fruit the rest of the day!

AM: 30 min spin and light shoulder workout 7:30am one grapefruit and one apple with a tsp of raw almond butter 10M: tofu scramble, pinto and adzuki beans and whole grain pancakes 1pm: plum and sunflower seeds 2:30pm: big raw salad with homemade tahini garlic dressing Going hiking later. . .

Do it, do it, do it! In the past, I have gotten so addicted that I pretty much scrapped weight training all together . . . but, that definately took a toll on my body fat % . . . I just started complementing my program with class recently too - so good to be back practicing - there really is no comparison - and I find that taking a break from it has brought me back to it more focused and able to do poses that I wasn't able to do before.

Wow! You are an amazing athlete! I was looking at your training journal - you do a three day split working full body each day?? Or am I remembering it wrong? You are so lean - I have to ask . . . are you like this naturally? What is your diet like and do you do cardio? Your arms are simply gorgeous - good work!

Cool - thanks! I think now that I've lost my fear about it - I really like it. I sprinkle it on my salad!

Choosing "vegan" is the most meaningful thing I have ever done in my life. What we put in our bodies directly fuels our entire life - not only the physicality, but the emotional and spiritual states as well. I find myself living a more conscious life, more aware how my personal choice affect the entire world. I am ed with animal testing and inspired by animal rescuers. I am saddened by factory farming and given hope by farm sanctuaries. Each day I aspire to be better - make smarter choices. And did I mention - I feel better than ever????

I just bought Nutritional Yeast for the first time . . . Everyone raves about the flavor - but, mine seems quite flavorless . . . Anyhoo - does anyone know any risks of supplementing with this?? Candida??? Yeast infections??? I bought it because of all the positives and now I'm thinking . . . hmmmm . . . maybe I don't really want to eat this stuff!! Thanks!
