#sugarpurge

Running short on time again so I whipped some sweet potatoes, corn, and vegan Field Roast sausage with garlic. - - - #vegancoach #govegan #plantbased #vegansofinstagram #veganism #plantstrong #sugarpurge (at New York, New York) https://www.instagram.com/p/BnHgootlE0V/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=2ntmlegp4umm

Got pretty late so no time to cook a full meal. Bob’s Red Mill oatmeal with flax & chia will have to do. Plus I’m going to mix in some raspberries and pumpkin seeds. - - - #vegancoach #govegan #plantbased #vegansofinstagram #veganism #plantstrong #sugarpurge #bobsredmill (at New York, New York) https://www.instagram.com/p/BnAMv5zlLph/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=ns439zwa1zea

One year ago I had to withdraw from the Rock ‘n’ Roll 5K in Philly because of a torn calf muscle. About 6 weeks later my dad passed away unexpectedly on the heels of my mom passing away unexpectedly. Then a few months later an MRI revealed I had 4 herniated discs in my lumbar spine. That was followed by an injury to my right knee. But through physical therapy (you rock Dogas), the love and support of my sister and my friends, the powerful effects of the #sugarpurge (thank you Aynsley), and the force of sheer will, I was able to jump rope the entire Rock ‘n’ Roll 5K this Saturday with Heather and Shana. The runners and spectators in #philly were beyond encouraging. We’ve never been cheered on like that before. I just wanted to share this story because I believe we all have the ability to be resilient and bounce back from any misfortune. Never give up! - - - #makingfitnessfun #punkrope #jumprope #ropeskipping #punkrock #diy #hopon #ropejumping #skippingrope #cardioworkout #weightloss #jumpropetraining #jumpropeclasses #jumpingrope #recess #skippingrope #jumpropeworkout #cardio #jumpropecardio #doubleunders #jumpropes #stuyvesantcovepark #greenpointy #jumpropelessons (at Philadelphia, Pennsylvania) https://www.instagram.com/p/BnyWJJ_lhCI/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1354laj36y3h6

The #sugarpurge 12-day program is officially over at midnight tonight (thank you Aynsley!) but the fight against Big Food (f*ck those guys!) and sugar cravings will continue. The purge was a great experience. I learned a lot, lost 5 pounds, and have strengthened my resolve to fight my addiction to sugar. I’d say that’s $99 well spent! - - - #vegancoach #govegan #plantbased #vegansofinstagram #veganism #plantstrong #sugarpurge (at Manhattan, New York) https://www.instagram.com/p/BnJoqIwFlM9/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=bkee4on0ew9d

Day 3 of the #sugarpurge went fairly well although I had a Tsingtao at our Beast Bash. Today I’m trying to focus on healthy fats and carbs hence the avocado and the yam. The fat helps to increase satiety and prevents sugar spikes. - - - #vegancoach #govegan #plantbased #nutritioncoach #vegansofinstagram #veganism #plantstrong (at New York, New York) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bm0kOmgl6el/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=9a1anqxb8hnu

For day 3 of Aynsley Kirshenbaum’s #sugarpurge I’m considering ways to get bold flavor WITHOUT much sugar. Here’s a simple solution: a cold glass of San Pellegrino infused by a slice of a frozen peach. - - - #vegancoach #govegan #plantbased #nutritioncoach #vegansofinstagram #veganism #plantstrong #sanpellegrino #sugarpurge (at New York, New York) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bmx4Cx7F_gE/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1jzsx2m5cs2ga
