“Man surprises me most about humanity. He sacrifices his health in order to make money. Then he sacrifices money to recuperate his health. And then he is so anxious about the future that he does not enjoy the present; the result being that he does not live in the present or the future; he lives as if he is never going to die, and then dies having never really lived.” ~The Dalai Lama

I just made this up as I was trying to fit some fresh fruit in my salad for lunch. Tasted pretty darn good with Braggs apple cider vinaigrette! Can you see all the ingredients? . . . #summersalad #summersaladseason #vegetarianrecipe #goatcheesesalad #chevresalad #healthyeats #healthyliving #healthyliving #eathealthyfood #healthcoach #nutritioncoach

Are you over 35? Over 40? 50??? Do you do any jump training? 🤾‍♀️ You really need to. . I know, by the time we reach those years, we have injuries. But you can’t let an old injury scare you from doing what is necessary. 🏋🏽‍♂️🤸🏾‍♂️ . You see, the muscles that we lose as we age are the ones that we use for jumping and explosive movements. Those muscles also give our legs shape! . You can start easy with jumping jacks and skipping rope. Then progress to these jack jumps which are intermediate. And progress to box jumps from there! . Your legs will start looking better than they have in years! Double tap if you’re already doing jumps as part of your training. • • • #fitover40 #fitafter40 #fitat50 #jumps #legsworkout #fitlife #fitnesslife #fitforlifechick #fitpro

My diet is not a religion. Sometimes i need to follow my heart 💜 and not my abs. So I’m taking a hiatus from pure Paleo but will be back on it soon. In the meantime... vegan 🌱 nachos! • • • #paleohiatus #takingadietbreak #paleoish #vegannachos #healthyish

Enjoying an afternoon at Huntington Library and Botanical Gardens. It’s a magical place to relax, learn, daydream, have lunch and enjoy the beauty of nature. I’m glad Jim has been a member for many years. The money is well spent! Have you been here? This is the Japanese Garden. ===••••===••••=== #huntingtonlibrary #huntingtongardens #lalife #lalifestyle #pasadenabound #enjoyingtheview #enjoyingthemoment #huntingtonbotanicalgardens (at The Huntington Library, Art Collections, and Botanical Gardens)

Violá! Got 15 minutes? This is my favorite salad at French bistro in West Hollywood that I figured out how to make at home. Jumbo Prawn (or shrimp) 🍤 and Mango salad in chili lime dressing ====••••==== Sautee jumbo shrimp in olive oil with salt and pepper. Cook with shell on to make them juicier. Sprinkle on some chili powder or flakes and squeeze in some lime juice. Mix dressing: olive or avocado oil with rice vinegar, chili lime powder and honey to taste. Place shrimp, cut up mangoes (I thawed frozen ones) on a salad bed with red onions. You can add avocado and tomatoes too. Mix with dressing. Sprinkle on sesame seeds. Eat! • • • #healthydinner #prawnsalad #prawnmangosalad #saladfordinner #firnesslife #healthyliving #healthyeats #fasthealthymeals #pescatarian #fitnesslife #fitover40 #fitafter40 #shrimpsalad

2 fitness pros. Up in the gym teaching on Memorial 🇱🇷 Day because fitness doesn’t take vacations.

One more from #beyondthestreets exhibit. Giant mural surrounds you with color. Can’t help it. Growing up in NYC, I’ve always loved graffiti art. • #graffittiart #modernart #streetart (at Chinatown Los Angeles)

Happy #workoutwednesday💪 Grab a sliding disc (or soft hand towel), find a smooth surface floor and try these kickass push ups. Yes, you can modify on your knees. You can progress by doing both hands on discs too! For this one: start in push up ready position, slide one disc away and perform the downward phase, then slide the disc back in as you perform the upward phase. After you do a set on each side, slide the disc from one side to the other for alternating reps. This works more muscles than push ups alone! • • • #pushups #slidingdiscs #glidingdiscs #slidingdiscpushups #gettingpumped #fitafter40 #fitover40 #fitforlife #fitspro #exerciseoftheday #fitlife #fitlifestyle #fitnesslife

I made this! Yummy! Ok it’s a cheat day for sure. There nothing Paleo or Primal diet friendly here at all, but making exceptions for enjoyable memories should be always allowed. This is spring veggie ravioli, pesto sauce and baked shrimp. Amazing! • #cookinglesson #homemadepasta #homemaderavioli (at Sur La Table)
