courage.: As much as I love the Fitblr community
I sometimes feel like everything is a competition. Who eats the healthiest, who makes the most vegan recipes, who posts the most pictures, who has the most questions, who has the most followers…
I’m here because it helps me stay focused and I love being in contact with…

Stretch Out Sundays: Abs To Zen Beginner Yoga Stretch With Amy Caldwell
Sundays are a great day to recover from your week of hitting it hard! Take the time to stretch out today with this awesome routine from Amy Caldwell!
Flexibility is a fitness component that many people (even seasoned fitties) often overlook. Remember, the more flexible you are, the greater the benefit from your regular workouts. Flexibility improves range of motion, endurance, lessens soreness and can help you bust out more reps in the weight room.
Give this routine a try today! Your body will thank you for it. :)

Quinoa veggie bowl with chopped almonds. :)
When I’m uninspired and want something nutritious, filling and yummy a quinoa/veg bowl is the first thing I think of. I simmered quinoa, red bell pepper, zucchini, carrot, green beans and edamame in vegetable stock, then once all cooked through, I added some fresh lemon juice and rind, basil, black pepper, nutritional yeast and chopped sun-dried tomatoes. Voila!
P.S. There’s 23g of protein in this bowl. It’s easy to get protein from plants if you try! :D
going to try!

“Apple Pie” Oatmeal with peanut butter and pumpkin seeds. :)
- I grated half an apple really finely and added it to 1/3 cup gluten free oats, 2/3 cup almond milk and 1/3 cup water, then added a chopped date for sweetness with cinnamon and a pinch of nutmeg.
- At the last minute I threw in some flax, then topped it with the remaining half an apple, pumpkin seeds and a tsp of peanut butter. Yum!

Another great pushup option if you’re looking to change things up! This combo will challenge your core as well as you chest, while keeping your heart rate high.
