All about FOOD!


#abetterversionofme2018

 Please beware. 
This post could potentially make you feel hungry.
Proceed with caution.

PART 1 - Cooking up a storm
Over the last few weeks, I have been trying to cook more at home, especially during the work-week.
Several meals haven't turned out exactly as I planned them to, but nonetheless, I'm very proud of my efforts so far.
 Breakfast - always and forever my favorite meal to cook

 Left - Tuna macaroni salad
Center - Chicken and sweet potato skillet
Right - Stuffed peppers 
 Left - Pork, vegetables and sweet potato fries
Center - Salmon rice bowl
Right - Chili
Left - Salmon quinoa patties with avocado sauce, sweet potato fries and a side salad
Center - Burrito bowl
Right - Vegetable curry with a side of pork
Noodle-less lasagna
Protein balls
Super yummy, not so healthy, dessert

PART 2 - Eating out
I've really enjoyed experimenting with cooking different meals, but I've also found it to be somewhat time consuming and tiring week after week.
Therefore, I have been balancing it out with some visits to (or deliveries from) my favorite restaurants around town.
Left - Korean fried chicken
Right - Korean BBQ meat galore
Left - Eggplant pizza
Right - Vegetable pad thai
Left - Western breakfast
Center - 'Healthy-ish' food from the gym
 Right - American-style ribs and sides
Left - Vietnamese Bun Cha and Bun Thit Nuong
Right - Indian food

PART 3 - Taking risks
It's fairly easy for me to keep eating the foods that I like, but recently I've had to step out of my comfort zone and try some new things that I never thought I'd be able to stomach. 
Of course, I was positive and I saw it all as being just another great experience! 
Seafood, seafood and alot more seafood

Are you hungry yet?

Living Outside The Box

"I may not have gone where I intended to go, but I believe I’m on the path I’m meant to be." As we get older, it’s easy to get trapped in society’s idea of what life "should" look like. By the time we hit 40, there’s a well-defined picture of success: owning a home, starting a family, climbing the career ladder. But as I approach this milestone, I’m choosing to remind myself that true happiness isn’t found in checking off someone else’s list. It’s found in stepping outside the box, embracing the unexpected, and allowing life to unfold in its own unique way. Sure, my path hasn’t always been conventional, and I’ve often found myself comparing my journey to others, wondering why I’m not where they are. But when I take a step back and reflect, I see how much I’ve gained by stepping off the well-worn road. Life may not have gone according to plan, but I’m proud of the unexpected milestones I’ve reached along the way. I’ve traveled to over 40 countries, lived in three (ye...

The runner in me

“Mind over miles.” A few years back, I was all in. I was that person signing up for every race that came across my radar—10K’s, half-marathons, marathons—you name it. The thrill of crossing the finish line, the camaraderie at the starting line, the way the crowds cheered you on, it was all so energizing. I didn’t even need music to get through a run, even a whole 42km marathon, which, I know, sounds crazy to most people. But there I was, in my zone, taking it all in and doing something I enjoyed. I collected lots of medals and racked up plenty of podium finishes, but most importantly I had some memorable international races, and met tons of amazing people along the way. I discovered that running was a really accessible sport; all you needed was a pair of shoes and the will to go. I could literally show up to a race, put one foot in front of the other, and—boom—be part of a community of people all working toward the same goal. So, what happened? Why did I stop running? For me, it came d...

Locked in.

“ The successful warrior is the average (wo)man , with laser-like focus. ” Life’s been feeling a little dull lately, but there’s one thing keeping me fired up; the experience of a lifetime is just around the corner. In just four weeks, I’ll be heading to Chicago to compete in the Hyrox World Championships, and I’m locked in. For many competitive and athletic kids, the dream is to make it to the Olympics or stand on a world championship stage in their sport. While Hyrox may not be the Olympics, for me, this is kind of that moment. This is my ‘world stage’; I can’t wait to soak it all in and add it to the list of things I’m proud of. This idea sort of started on my 40th birthday this year. While most people celebrate with a party and cake or a getaway, I made a wild choice: I booked my place in the Hyrox World Championships with my doubles partner. Bold? Definitely. Crazy? Probably. Worth it? Without a doubt. The last time I pushed myself this hard was back in 2019 when I trained for a C...
