Consider doing stretches around your hip as well, I experience similar aches and pains from an office job and hanging from a bar relieves the pain because there isn't weight being put on the low back/hip.  I'd suggest some latissimus dorsi stretches (side bends with arm over head) and hamstring...

I post a lot of what I eat in the Spicy Meatless Thread   I don't usually calorie count or anything, but I have started paying more attention to macros after getting my personal training certification.  I don't really change my diet to cut weight unless it is getting close to a weigh-in and I...

Black Bean Taco Salad with a homemade honey chipotle vinaigrette. The tortilla chips are actually made from beans too, they're called Beanitos.  There's cilantro lime rice at the bottom, romaine and spinach, a can of black beans cooked with onion and garlic and seasoned with GIP's smoked serrano...

I have a whacky back too.  I bought one of those swiss ball chairs for my desk.  it doesn't necessarily make the work day more comfortable but it doesn't have a back for leaning in, making me more likely to get up and stretch.  It also forces you to sit straighter because you're on a ball not a...

Another quick after training dinner.  Morningstar chipotle black bean burger that I found in bulk at Sam's club.  They're way bigger patties than the ones in the grocery store.  And since I'm going to get a sports nutrition certification this year Imma be tellin' ya'll about macros when i can...

I don't think I've seen those around here yet.  The place I grabbed these from is an exaggerated corner store.  They stock a lot of local products and Upton's in just down the way, I don't recall if they have any field roast products in there.  I think I'll have to go to a chain grocer to look...

Tried a new "burger" yesterday.  It is a seitan-tofu combo burger by Upton's.  168 cals, 5 g fat, 9 g carbs, and 22 g protein for the macros.  it was $4 for 2 patties which is cheaper than the beyond burgers but a little more than your standard frozen veggie patties.  The flavor wasn't as...

Cool stuff! I'm not really a violent person either.  I like to tell people that my spirit animal in the elephant, even though I'm 5 foot nothing.  An elephant is peaceful, playful and calm, but you threaten an elephant or an elephant's loved one and you better watch out.    I hate to admit it...

DTS! I have missed you!  :hi:

It is an off day so just a little bean salad tonight. Red and White kidney beans, red cabbage, yellow bell pepper, grape tomatoes, green peas, scallion, parsley, with a tahini based dressing.  Pro tip, make your salad dressings spicy, it makes salad much more interesting.  I'm a big fan of...

Necrothread!    Here's what I work on these days!    Lol, semi kidding... I have been training Brazilian Jiu Jitsu for the last ~6 months to add to my repertoire.  In 2017 I also put in the work to get certified to teach JKD and Tai Chi after studying those arts for the last 8 or so years, as...

I bought one of those fancy spiralizers that has 6 different blades.  It is pretty awesome.  Last night I made the thinnest setting zucchini noodle and tossed them in a chickpea and red lentil sauce.  I had cooked the lentils before hand and spiralized the zucchini ahead of time, so throwing it...

45 min on hold with the insurance company trying to find the closest place to get my (probably) broken finger checked out. They transferred me to the wrong dept and told me to hang up and try again... Nope. Popsicle sticks and tape it is.

That was the original plan actually, but I they were smaller than the buns and I wouldn't have had enough to feed everyone.  (I didn't do the plantains myself, I got a box of the frozen ones you just throw in the fryer)

Yah Mon! I'm back from Jamaica and missing the food.  I won't lie, in Jamaica I tried all the local foods I could including jerk chicken, pork, fish.  But now that I'm back here its back to the regularly scheduled program.  I threw together some Jamaican inspired food last night.  Jerk Bbq...

Back from Jamaica... That place is amazing. Miss the food already and going to try to cook some jamaican inspired veggie dishes in the future.
