Today was day 2 of the cleanse and so far so good. The suggested guidelines for the first week include, removing flour and sugar from your diet and adding a green juice in the morning. Yesterday, when I would have normally reached for some cereal as a snack, I simply satisfied my urge with some peanuts. But yesterday …
Author: Jordan
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 :)
Greening in the New Year
Happy New Year! 4 years ago to the day I started this very blog. Every day of 2012 I took a moment to share what I was feeling, eating, doing or not doing. It was a time when I was discovering my love of running and exploring my new home in the Bay Area. Since that year of …
Long Distance
Raise your hand if you have been in a romantic relationship. Raise your hand if that romantic relationship was a long distance relationship or at some point turned into a long distance relationship. Raise your hand if you have stayed in this relationship long distance on and off over the past 8 years. Well, I …
It Only Took 28 Years
Well, to be honest, for the first three it would have been impossible to hold a golf club let alone swing it. However, now that I am reaching the end of my twenties (oy, where did the time go), I have finally given into my father's passion for golf. Believe it or not the first …
Remember Me?
I'm embarrassed to say that it has been so long since I last posted on my dear blog that it took me a few minutes to figure out how to even create a new blog post. So, if you've forgotten, this is me: And while I am still Israeli, I am no longer living in Israel. …
Ice Bath
I just completed my third weekend of yoga teacher training and I am more flexible, more knowledgeable and beyond exhausted. I have always appreciated my body, whether it was hand eye coordination in lacrosse or endurance during my half marathons. Over these past few weekends I have been pushing my body to find its new "edge" in …
Initiated
Happy New Year! In lieu of a 2014 wrap up post, I will do a 2014 wrap up long sentence: 2014 was the year I became an Israeli citizen, I saw some of the most important people in my life when I went home to the states for vacation, I took a big career leap, …
That perfect recipe
I am not a baker. I am not one to take the time to get out the sifter to properly sift the flour. Nor am I the type of person who uses the 1/2 cup measuring cup when I already have a perfectly good (just used) 1 cup measuring cup from which I can just eyeball …
That movie with Keira Knightly
You know. That one with that famous green dress? Atonement? Yes, that is the name of the film, and also another name for yesterday. In Judaism yesterday's holiday is known as the Day of Atonement (Yom Kippur), the holiest day of the year. This is the day we reflect on all the things we are sorry for …
Dinner’s On
Since the last time I posted (I know, it's been awhile) life has been pretty busy. When people say "life has been pretty busy" they are usually talking about how their work schedule has intensified, which mine certainly has. Or they are alluding to the their many social engagements with friends and family; of which I …
