Tips and Tidbits. Seems about right for this post. Kind of all over the place but that’s okay. Keeps it entertaining.
Okay let’s start.
I finally got around to posting a 30 minute Thursday workout. Still taking it easy here, so I haven’t tried this workout myself. But if you do this “tidbit” of a workout, let me know.
Looks like a good one, right? I am trying it out on a client tomorrow. Hehe, she will be in a for a treat.
Next up…. TIPS! Core Power (a milk protein drink formerly known as Athlete’s Honey Milk) has started a new series on their webpage/blog. It’s the Core Power TIP OF THE DAY. Lots of great athletes have shared their tips and I had the chance to share my two cents as a nutrition manager. I’ll be posting their more often so check it out! And check out their RECOVERY drinks. You know I am a fan. Gluten and lactose free is good for me …. oh and good for the hubs, but that’s if I share.
*Disclosure: As a Core Power Tip of the Day contributor, I do receive free product for my submissions.
The last tip I shared on Core Power had to do with eating fruits and vegetablesthat were in season. I am a huge advocate of eating seasonally. Not only does it save you money, but it is better for you! Here is a great month to month guide from Health Central. Love it!!! Use it!
I took advantage of zucchini this month and made a ginger zucchini GF pasta with chicken sausage and tomato
I took advantage of in season pineapple with this new Larabar flavor. Haha, okay that does not count, but I have been eating fresh pineapple, especially in smoothies!
That wraps up my Tips and Tidbits. Hope I kept your attention.
Got any tips for me? Do tell!
Cheers,
LC

LOVE the fruits and veggies wheel!! I am always wondering if something is in season when I am grocery shopping…I think I may print this out and keep it in my wallet =)
Thank YOU for the awesome tips, Lindsay!

i printed it off too! it’s fun! or i am dork. ha
I love that fruit and veggie chart, gotta print it! And yay for zucchinis! I’ve been eating them like a madwoman lately haha
Oh and I MUST track down that larabar mmmm
yes, you must! try natural grocers.
I can’t wait for my zucchini to start coming in!!! I have so many tomato plants in my garden too. I live for summer tomatoes. I think we were meant to eat seasonally. I think our bodies work better that way. The heat outside lends us to eating more salads and lighter meals. I need to give in a buy a spiralizer. I want to use my zucchini and squash like spaghetti.
Love that workout! I need to recruit my boys to do that one with me. It’s more mine and Max’s style! Have a great Thursday!
Sarena (The Non-Dairy Queen) recently posted..Chicken Parmesan Promises…
me too! i want a spiralizer. Sheesh, we need to be neighbors so we can share kitchen supplies. haha
Love zucchini and yellow squash this time of year (had both last night as a matter of fact). Hope your client “enjoys” that little workout you have in store teehhe!

so i recently signed up for bi-weekly organic fruit and veggie delivery!!!! i am super excited to get my first box tomorrow. i felt like i havent been getting enough of either in my diet, so this is a perfect way to do so AND to try out new things! also, i recently froze two ripened bananas (i dont really like bananas), but last night i blended them up for banana “ice cream”. yummers!
Kim K recently posted..Gloria in Excelsis Deo

That recovery drink sounds interesting, I may have to try it
Samantha recently posted..Deep Thoughts

Awww love the chart! Thanks so much for always sharing such awesome tips.
You are just great.
YOu are great! i want to come run with you on your beautiful trails. We can eat pineapple after.. it’s seasonal. hehe.
Love pineapple…It’s da’bomb in green monster smoothies! Didn’t know they were in season, but that explains why they are all over the grocery stores. Sheesh…Going to yoga the next two days…what about you?
She Rocks Fitness recently posted..Back on the Wagon + WIAW

Paige @ Running Around Normal recently posted..Reading Recipes in the Kitchen
she survived, haha. I need to try this one I am all cleared to do high intensity again. I owe her that. haha.
Love that Month to Month veggie pic – I’m totally re-pinning it! I always think the freshest veggies taste the best!
Laura @ LauraLivesLife recently posted..The Ultimate Food Quiz
totally! there’s almost a sweetness to them.
Always try to eat in season.. and go to restaurants that do the same. What kind of GF pasta do you use? Have a wonderful day.. muah
Lisa @ RunWiki recently posted..Gluten Free Crostini with Gorgonzola, Pecans, Cranberries and Honey
my favorite GF noodles! http://instagr.am/p/J0e0ohGbBz/ KING SOBA NOODLES. The sweet potato buckwheat are delicious too.http://www.kingsoba.com/organic-noodles-pumpkin-ginger-and-rice.php
I absolutely love zucchini pasta, but am starting to get annoyed with using my vegetable peeler for it! I want a spiralizer bad!! And that workout looks wonderful! I gotta save that one
Thanks for the awesome tips!
Lisa recently posted..Cheesy Balls
i used a ginger GF pasta here. Would love spiralizer too!! Worth the $
Yay for eating seasonally! Everything tastes better when in season
Great workout too, I can’t wait to hear how your client liked it LOL!
Allie recently posted..Book and recipe
she liked the workout.. when it was over. haha. Hope you and JImmy are doing well.
I just saw a really cute tea towel calender of fruits and veggies in season. Such a great idea and awesome to decorate with!
Katie recently posted..For your mid-week reading pleasure
i need this towel. It would make me feel smarter.
I love the chart. Even though I grow a huge number of fruits and veggies in my backyard (tomatoes, peppers, bok choy, beets, onions, garlic, salad greens, spinach, herbs, zucchini, pole beans, strawberries, blueberries, grapefruit, lemons, tangerines, figs, Swiss Chard) I STILL don’t always know what’s in season.
Here’s a tip: Smoothies. I know, nothing new, but I just started drinking them and they’re awesome. Throw kale together with blueberries, banana and orange juice and you get a really healthy supplement. I prefer it to juicing because you don’t lose the pulp, you’re eating the entire fruit or veggie. Make sure you get a smoothie blender, though.

oh i like that combo! i tried romaine in my smoothie the other day, with cucumber, vanilla, and lemon. Not bad!
Eating seasonally and locally is the best, especially with fruit. It’s always better quality and the taste and freshness can’t be beat!!
I need to try the new larabar flavor!! I need to pick up the cappuchino one too. They’re the best!
Tara recently posted..Sidelined Again.
trip to the store! find those bars. How are you feeling today?
I actually did go out and buy the cappuchino flavor! We don’t have the pineapple in stores yet, but I’m loving the coffee flavor!!
Tara recently posted..Sidelined Again.
I love that 30 minute work out- sometimes I only have a short time and want something efficient like that
Jocelyn @ Peace Love Nutrition recently posted..The Healing Power of Food
it’s perfect for those and VERY effective!
I need to work on eating more seasonally…I usually just stick with what I like haha. No tips here…but I did try some Udi’s gluten free bread and liked it!
Lindsay @ In Sweetness and In Health recently posted..Exercise Comparisons
there’s no problem with that either, as long as you eat your veggies. hehe.
p.s.
Try Rudi’s too! it’s good!! and bigger pieces, hehe.
I got my 30 minutes in today as well, but it was a 30 minute run with a buddy before work. I’m loving mixing in vegetables with existing dishes. I added some spinach and muchrooms to my turkey lasagna… delicious. Thanks for the great share and photos. Cheers.
PavementRunner recently posted..Playlist Thursday: Pop-tastic!
thats perfect! Running buddies are the best for pre or post work running. And spinach lasagna with mushrooms? YUM!
I love that handy little fruits/veggies chart! I need to be better about my seasonal produce intake — I’m GREAT at it in the summer, but in the winter/spring, not so much.
Liz (Little Bitty Bakes) recently posted..Fajita Chicken and Rice Soup
me too, so this poster is awesome to stick on the fridge. ya know?
I’m going to have to check in with you on your yoga posts and tips … I signed up at the Y for this summer and … they have a yoga class offering. I’m hoping the instructor is good! I am eyeballing that class. Also eyeballing some weight training classes too so not sure yet. Going to remember to pick up some Larabars next time I’m at the store to try. Gluten free, right?
Christina recently posted..Touring parts of Northern Italy with a young child
oh yes, keep me posted on how the yoga goes. I bet you’ll enjoy it!
We’ve been enjoying the pineapple too!
Rach recently posted..Not here today…
Okay! So I did this workout at the gym tonight(well, I went through your routine twice then ran 1k on the tready X4).LOVED.IT, I actually love all your workouts. It was tough but sped by, because its not boring doing a routine like this- ill be doing it again for sure. Thank you:).
MMmm, that chicken pasta looks so good!
Xxx
awesome sarah! I like the way you used it. Killer!
Yummy kind of foods..I really want to try it..Thanks for sharing with us..
Krizza recently posted..Freelance Writer Devon
let me know if you do.
Hey I love that poster… probably complete opposite for us Down Under though, huh? Winter is coming… Noooooo!
Lou recently posted..cold feet* and crap wine
probably. Looks like its apple and orange season for you. <3
I love the look of this workout– question though, when you squat-jump, are you tucking the knees at the peak of the jump or staying straight leg. I am not sure I could do 8-10 reps of that workout with knee tucks at the jump peak (but I am sure as heck going to try!) hooray! i like workouts that look fun and for me, finding a strength training workout that looks fun is like finding a four-leaf clover.
Fox Peterson recently posted..Free Friday: I’m a sleep hacker!
oh tuck jumps would be hard, but good. I stick with regular stright leg squat then jumps. Let me know how it goes!
I saw that core power tip and CHEEEERED for you.

i thought i heard a MIZFIT voice cheering. hehe. xxoo
I am not sure I could do 8-10 reps of that workout with knee tucks at the jump peak (but I am sure as heck going to try!) hooray!
Myrtle recently posted..The Dating Advice Blog
i would do regular squat jumps first versus the tucks. But that would be a killer set. Give it a whirl and report back. YEA!
Love eating local and seasonal…so important to support the community around us… Speaking of pineapple I have one tip…add it to your protein shakes! The bromelain in pineapple helps with protein digestion…but you probably already knew that being the smart cookie you are!
Sarah @ The Healthy Diva recently posted..Motivational Monday: Natural Energy Boosters
oh yes! i have been using pineapple in my protein shakes at night! SOO good. Great tips!
I love eating seasonably as well, the vegetables always taste better when they’re in season. I love going to the farmers market & asking the people there what’s in season, when something will be coming up, etc.
oh i get giddy at the farmers market. haha
oooh, love that seasonal produce chart!
Melissa recently posted..Things I like Thursday: Outside of comfort zones
print it off and stick on the fridge! perfecto!
The fruits and veggies wheel is awesome. We have something like that hanging on our fridge. Makes such a huge difference when you can eat locally and seasonally. YUM!
Christine @ Love, Life, Surf recently posted..Adieu Knee Brace
Agreed! plus its fun!
Pinned your wheel! (Haha, that’s sounds funny.) And I may or may not have drooled over your GF zuch, chicken sausage, and tomato dish.
As for pineapple, I’m obsessed myself…I got my hands on some dehydrated pineapple yesterday. Let’s just say my mouth is a little itchy. My mouth is sensitive to citric acid. Oh well. I grin and bare it.
YOU PINNED MY WHEEL! hehe, so clever. Dehydrated pineapple? love it!
