Once again I find myself apologizing for my absence, and while I do truly miss writing on this blog every day, the major transitions in my life do not allow for this freedom at the moment. Yesterday I started a new job. I have left the world of board games, where I spent a year …

Hi, my name is Jordan, and I am a 29 year-old yogi. At the start of this blog I was a half marathoner, and while I may not be running around anymore, I still have plenty of steps to take, so come join me :)

WIAW – Recipes
Time for some fun food! Healthy guacamole, woman peas! Yup, I made it with peas!I used 3 very ripe avocados and half a bag of frozen peas (that I defrosted first). I hand blended the avocados and peas together, but I like my guac chunky so I didn't blend it until it was smooth. Then I …
What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger
Well, these words have certainly been this past year's anthem. During the early days of recovery this line was chanted day after day by my boyfriend as he smiled with every step I would take on my crutches. And I would sing these words to sleep as I dreamt of the sun rising, one morning …
Taking it Back
On June 30, 2012 my life changed forever. In a freak, let's prove the existence of physics running accident, I broke my left hip. After major surgery and months of recovery I am back in tip top shape. Other than a higher risk of arthritis and some weaker leg muscles that will slowly even out, …

WIAW – Smoothies on the brain

I've been making a smoothie every day for breakfast recently because they are refreshing, easy to transport to work and filling! Here are some variations of what I have been making recently: I always …
Out for a Walk
I took the long way home this weekend and walked all throughout this beautiful city... Then I took a walk to my gym... Then a walk around my neighborhood... and I ended my weekend with a walk to my kitchen... Banana Ice Cream!!! Blend one frozen banana, with a tablespoon of your favorite nut butter …
WIAW – with a sprinkle of stress on top
As I said earlier this week, change is stirring in the air, and along with the aroma of excitement, the taste of stress has creeped in. Taking a leap and leaving the safety of the usual day-to-day is a great way to truly find yourself. To grow you need to rise up to challenges that …
Time to break out the summer food
Well it's not exactly time for barbecues, but it's never too early to break out the breakfast smoothie. As the smell in the air grows crisper and the ground thaws with the touch of the sun, I think it's appropriate to make a fruity and refreshing morning meal. Yesterday I broke out the frozen fruit and …
