Ok, since it's my birthday, today is going to be a little silly - I had a TON of fun "helping" make these spicy dark chocolate dragons at Peterbrooke Chocolatier in Winter Park - and here's the video all about it! And go ahead and check out last year's more "serious" birthday article - proud to say that I appear to have stopped aging... er whatever... I don't know, but … [Read more...] about Something Silly – and Delicious!

Core Torture, the Insidious Kettlebell Swing Practice Workout
After reading a good bit of Bud Jeffries new book, I Will Be Iron (currently out on ebook format, soon to be out in paperback), I was more than just a little bit inspired. One of the things I like about his book is the real world focus on simple but effective workouts with just a few crucial tools. He also pairs drills very well - I'm even futher convinced that I need to … [Read more...] about Core Torture, the Insidious Kettlebell Swing Practice Workout
CK-FMS, FMS, MMA, Beyond Organic, Chia Seeds, a Simple Difficult Workout and MORE!
Today got off to a GREAT start when I met some friends at The Jungle MMA and Fitness here in Orlando. Seth Petruzelli, the gym owner and a pro MMA fighter and his friend, local top personal trainer JT agreed to try out the FMS (Functional Movement Screen) after I sent them a few articles about how the screen is being used by NFL teams, and pro athletes of all varieties. The … [Read more...] about CK-FMS, FMS, MMA, Beyond Organic, Chia Seeds, a Simple Difficult Workout and MORE!
Ask GiryaGirl: Family Influence, Coconut Oil, etc.
It was a good weekend - I hope yours was too! My parents were in town and we had a good time talking about food, etc. and trying one of the new local restaurants which had some incredible things on the menu - regular Girya Girl favorites like roasted Brussels sprouts (they had paired them with carrots and parsnips!!!!), an incredible fritatta, and even a little "Faleo" on my … [Read more...] about Ask GiryaGirl: Family Influence, Coconut Oil, etc.
Under Armour Women’s HeatGear Short Sleeve V-neck T-shirt
I am crazy about these shirts, purchased one on a whim to see if there was anything to the hype about Under Armour HeatGear and was happy to see that the acclaim is warranted. Yes, it wicks away sweat and keeps you cooler - we train in the middle of the day with no shade, and we train hard, this shirt, even in black, made a huge difference. Not to mention that the rotated … [Read more...] about Under Armour Women’s HeatGear Short Sleeve V-neck T-shirt
Tropical Traditions Coconut Flour
1 Organic Coconut Flour - 2.2 lbs. I can't say enough great things about this coconut flour - seriously... this is the key ingredient in so many of my favorite recipes from Primal Blueprint and the lynchpin in so many of my own variants and originals. I've tried other brands of coconut flour and have only been disappointed, sorry, Bob's Red Mill, still love you … [Read more...] about Tropical Traditions Coconut Flour
Miramonte Alaskan Pink Salmon 7.5 OZ
This is really really nice high quality canned salmon - normally I like to buy red coho salmon - but was talked into trying this by a friend of mine who owns a local independent health food store. He was right - this is great stuff. Granted it is very very natural, so if you are squeamish about things like skin and bones in your canned salmon you may wish to give it a pass. … [Read more...] about Miramonte Alaskan Pink Salmon 7.5 OZ
Tropical Traditions Coconut Oil
Tropical Traditions Gold Label Virgin Coconut Oil This is one of those products that once you start using it, you find that you use it EVERY DAY. And its actually the only cooking oil I have in the pantry at the moment (dark sesame oil doesn't count - that's a flavoring additive). I was originally introduced to Tropical Traditions by an older friend from the dog park who … [Read more...] about Tropical Traditions Coconut Oil
The Kettlebell Goddess Workout DVD
Andrea Du Cane's Kettlebell Goddess Workout DVD Going to be honest with you, this is one of my favorite workout DVDs in the whole wide world. Its so good that if I find out that one of my clients already owns it, I give them "homework assignments" from it for when they or I am out of town. The Power Breathing section is fantastic - the instructional portions are … [Read more...] about The Kettlebell Goddess Workout DVD
