Let's just say that the boiler at work is broken, so that means everyone wandering around the office looks like they are about to ski off a mountain in their winter gear. I have not taken my coat off this entire week of work - I think I might just wear pajamas underneath one day! …

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 :)
It’s all in the balance
I have been progressing in PT every week or so, however last night I had reality handed to me on a bozu ball. I was trying to do some balancing on my left side, focusing on my left glute and hamstrings, but no matter how hard I willed it my muscles would not cooperate. I …
A Story
If you see me walking down the street you would never know that almost 6 months ago I had major surgery to repair my broken hip. I have no visible limp, you cannot see any signs of surgery and I have a smile on my face. Swimming on the other hand leaves me very exposed, …
Spaghetti
Squash! Perfect for a rainy cold evening. I cook my squash in the microwave for 10 minutes after poking knife slits all around the squash. Then I simply scrape out the seeds. Last night I paired my squash with some spinach and quinoa pasta and of course tomato sauce. What do you like to eat …
Party, holiday style
Last night I had my company holiday party. Complete with festive drinks And holiday cheer from a brilliantly lit city 🙂 May your holidays be filled with health and happiness!

It's COLD! Yes, I live in northern California so winter coats made to combat the fierce below freezing temperatures of the east coast are not necessary.

Back when I could run I would mix up my weekday mornings with a long jog before work. Now that my exercise is limited and fits into my schedule as an evening activity, my morning routine has changed. I still wake up early, no thanks to miss big eyes, but instead of stepping out the …
WIAW – New Finds
Most of my meals throughout the week are rather repetitive due to my long work hours and workout schedule. I find that it's just easier to cook up some of my go-to meals that I know will satisfy me instead of cooking for hours when I get home. However, it's always nice to change things …
Lemon Bok Choy and Tilapia
Sauté baby bok choy in a pan with green onions, lemon juice and pepper. While the bok choy is wilting place tilapia filets on a pan and top with a simple lemon pepper spice mix and bake in the oven at 400 degrees for 10 minutes. Sprinkle with lemon juice, plate and eat! Easy and …
That Time I Voluntarily Swam in the Bay
This weekend was full of adventures starting with some long walks around the city and then, yup, a swim in the bay! It might be December, but that did not stop me from suiting up in a wet suit, strapping on two swim caps and loading up on body glide. I have been working hard …
