Maybe you were wondering if I’ve ever been to Hawaii? The answer is yes, yes I have. My family and I went when I was in 6th grade, I think, and unfortunately for me photographic evidence of this vacation actually exists.
Get a load. Of this.
BAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!! OMG, THE 90’S!!!!!! Why?? Just…why?
I really need to stop showing you embarrassing old photos of myself.
Ok, after this one.

[…] is pineapple right now, by the way? It’s soooooo sweet! I’ve been cutting mine with the Williams & Sonoma serrated knife Ben got me for our anniversary. It works so […]

That 30 Day Shred is a knee killer. Somewhere in level 2, doing some plyometic move, I did something that hurt. For a few weeks, it was painful to walk. And then one day, after doing mostly elliptical work and modified workouts, it went away. I’ve learned to be super careful now when I do level 2 because no workout is worth that! Glad to know I’m not alone!

I stress fractured my knee running last year and now my knee hurts for days every time I do lunges. It’s not worth it, girl!

My dad loves taking vacations so we went a LOT of places as kids. Sadly never Hawaii.
I’ve been on family vacations to Western Europe, California, Arizona, Nevada, Chicago, British Columbia, Florida, Muskoka, Mexico, and all over Ontario.

I [stupidly] tried out a couple workout vids on a concrete floor basement probably 6+ months ago at this point and totally screwed up my left knee. I stopped doing anything for a while, but I now wear an [actually ill-fitting] Ace knee brace when running and it’s not so bad after a couple minutes. No post-workout pain intensification either. The weirdest things about the knee pain are that I can’t walk *down* stairs in heels properly and occasionally I walk up stairs a bit funky. I’ve tried doing some bends to see how it reacts, but I can’t seem to remember how to pick up my right foot and try to bend with my left knee. I need to see a doctor but it’s not that bad… yet, probably.
Back in college while running on the XC team, I somehow got this awful hip flexor injury and was advised by the school’s trainer to stop running immediately, which I did for a long time. I picked it back up (not as intensely, however) and have only recently begun feeling the pain in my hip flexor again. I feel like an old lady at 26.
Looking forward to trying that marinade out!

We went on lots of family vacations. Ours usually involved camping and lots and lots of driving!
I love Hawaii…best place on earth! {we went there for our honeymoon.} Ahhhhhh.

I wish we took more but our 2 big ones were Maui, Hawaii and Puerto Vallarta, Mexico. Otherwise mostly camping trips. I wish we went on more vacation as a family. I always say when I have kids we’re going to try to make it apoint to go on more and maybe rather than having a huge expensive Christmas spend the money on going on a vacation. :)

Sometimes when I run a lot, I’ll call it a little pain from the IT Band. Usually I’ll just listen to my body and rest a little. Other than that, I’ve been lucky on the injury front!
PS – Your recipes are amazing! Those kabobs look soooo good.

Have you considered getting a osteoporosis bone density scan? I think everyone should around the age of 30, especially if you are petite.
