Are you burned out?

We create the magic in our lives but when the fire gets too big, are we actually Burning Out?

It’s an interesting concept to ponder. You work really hard, your fitness schedule is out of this world, you eat clean all the time and your scheduled. But you jump on the scale and it hasn’t moved. When you think back to you’re week you can recall some stress, which lead to some unhealthy choices, spiraling into negative self talk and then you wake up here.

Starring at a scale….

I get it. That’s me. It’s a cycle, you start healthy, you add stressors, you add pressure (internal and external) and boom, a recipe for self destruction and a roller coaster of a journey. But here is the thing, it’s not that you’re failing, it’s not that I am failing, it’s that we might be burning out.

Too much obsession over one thing is not the cure for lack their of. You need a balance.

It’s been a long and hard journey this week, one that I intend to share with you soon. But until then I leave you with one thought this week, that is, don’t burn out. Embrace balance, celebrate your wins, let go of your doubts and embrace the journey.

On to other items this week:

It’s review time!

I explored a new coffee shop this week in San Francisco and an amazing Healthy spot in Belmont!

Coffee first though, everything else later, right?!

Coffee Cultures in San Francisco, Ca is so cute and a total hidden gem in the SOMA FiDi districts!

If you’re local or in the area they have an amazing menu, serving up your fav macchiato or even affogato!

Definitely recommend their menu! It was the perfect little pick me up while I jammed out to my new favorite obsession Nathan Ball who sings the song belowโฌ‡๏ธ

He’s amazing if you’re into that coffee shop Singer/Songwriter Vibe!

Saturday, I spent the first part of my day celebrating someone special’s last class at the R-Dub 24HR!

Jonathan you are an incredible dancer and instructor and you make me so proud to see you inspire others through movement!

If you are looking to get your sweat on! Drop into one of his classes at 24HR! I can tell you he is amazing all day but truly you need to witness the magic in person.

Refuel was needed after that sweat feast!

So we headed to Detox Kitchen & Juice Bar in Belmont, Ca. When you walk in you want to literally eat, drink and buy everything!

Literally the cutest, hidden little spot on the Peninsula! They have a grab and go area or you can order and sit like we did.

Feast your eyes on the Fiesta Bowl ๐Ÿ˜

Made with coconut rice and topped with Avocado, a balance of healthy carbs, fats and protein! You truly can’t go wrong here!

Best part was the Bullet Proof Coffee made to perfection! Next time your in the area check them out!

Experiencing Detox Saturday, I woke up with the excitement to try a little recipe from my True Roots cookbook.

I modified the recipe a bit but wow amazing!

Ingredients:

  • 1 banana
  • 4g Matcha Powder
  • 5g unsweetened shredded coconut
  • 1 scoop collagen powder (Vital Proteins )
  • 8oz unsweetened vanilla coconut milk
  • 2 pumps sugar free vanilla syrup

Directions:

Blend and serve! I keep my bananas for smoothies in the fridge or freezer so they are cold but you can add ice if you need to make your smoothie colder!

On that note! Hope everyone had an amazing weekend and that you have an even better week.

Remember: stay the course, search for your true north and never give up.

Stay tuned for next week!

Self Care Sundayโ€™s

Bliss is waking up each morning, taking a deep breath in and being thankful for your journey.

Sunday’s are self care and self love days for me.

  • Workouts
  • Massage
  • Meditation
  • Prepare for my week
  • Epsom salt baths and journaling

But today was a special Sunday since it was Mother’s Day! I couldn’t be with my mom today but we talk everyday and she knows she’s in my heart always!

I’m the strong, independent bad ass today because she raised me to be that kind of woman.

My sister and I are blessed to have her as our mom.

Speaking of sisters… I spent Cinco de Mayo weekend with the fam bam! Explored the cutest brewery too!

If you are local to Auburn or in the area, check out Crooked Lane Brewery!

They have such an amazing beer selection, my favorite was the Blood Orange Hefeweizen โ™ฅ๏ธ

Our exploring continued when Lo and I went to our local theater and watched the High School play, Mary Poppins! So cute!

Such talented young souls! I was truly impressed with the performance of these young hearts. I can’t wait to see another play from Victory!

That weekend we also bought a Corvette…

Yes. You read that right.

My motto is if you set a goal, a dream or an intention and you work you’re ass off to get it or accomplish it. You better be damn proud when it happens.

This kid couldn’t be happier. I mean he works his ass off and drove his little beater all the way from CU to CA!

Set your intention- go after your dreams and live your best life!

I’m loving reaping the benefits of this car btw- top down in 78 degree California sunshine ain’t a bad way to spend a weekend, am I right?

We ended up taking an adventure down to Facebook HQ where they host a monthly brew fest in the summer… again I am reaping the benefits of having a D.D #Responsible.

You just can’t beat Guava beer that has a hint of Pinot Grigio and Charcuterie in a cone! Great summer BBQ ideas!

An amazing day of sun and fun for sure!

Weekends go by so fast but as long as we enjoy them to the fullest that is all that matters.

Today I leave you with an affirmation and an amazing banana bread recipe!

Affirmation:

I will fill my life with people, experiences and objects that only bring me the upmost joy.

Recipe!

Keep an eye out on my Instagram for a picture of this yummy goodness!

Ingredients:

Directions:

  1. Preheat oven to 350 spray loaf pan
  2. In a bowl mix dry ingredients and chopped almonds
  3. In mixer bowl or another bowl mash bananas, add eggs and liquid ingredients, beat/ mix well.
  4. Slowly beat in dry ingredients
  5. Add cake mixture to loaf pan and cook 50mins or until well done on the inside (test with a knife)
  6. Let rest 10mins
  7. Flip onto a wooden cutting board and slice! Makes 7 thick slices for breakfast or slice thinner for more of a snack!

If you are looking to swap out for some alternatives you totally can swap the kodiak protein pancake mix with GF flour and protein powder of your choice.

To make it vegan, you can use vegan egg and butter substitutes found at Whole Foods and omit the honey for any other sweetener of choice!

Enjoy!
