“Life balance is a myth. It’s an illusion and the very pursuit of it is driving us crazy. For me it’s about proportion - it’s really a work hard/play hard equation.” — Danielle LaPorte (@daniellelaporte) . When I work, I work hard. When I play, I play hard. Go all-in on whatever you do, and f%# balance. . It’s been a great week, that featured some yoga and strength work, which typically doesn’t make on the plate. . I’m grateful to have enjoyed these special moments this week, and will remember the positive results they delivered. . .

How do you like your bananas? 🍌 Read below for more info! 👇🏼👇🏼 . . Unripe Bananas: One benefit of green bananas is the high resistant starch content. For anyone trying to avoid food with high sugar content, green bananas are an option whereas yellow bananas are not. So those suffering from Type 2 Diabetes can eat the unripe fruit while maybe ripened bananas are not as compatible. Unripe bananas also have probiotic bacteria, a friendly bacterium that helps with good colon health. In addition, green bananas also help you absorb nutrients better, particularly calcium! .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Ripe Bananas: Because the resistant starch changes to simple sugar when a banana ripens, yellow bananas are easier to digest. The higher glycemic index of ripe bananas shows that they are digested quickly. Bananas also have higher levels of antioxidants as they ripen! . . #triathlete #triathlon #tritraining #trilife #tri365 #ironmantraining #triathlontraining #imtx #swimbikerun #140point6 #teamzoot #plantbased #plantbasedfitness #vegannutrition #veganhealth #supergreens #digestivehealth #plantbasedpower #plantbasedlife #plantbasedlifestyle #phytonutrients #guthealing #nutrientdense #nutritionaltherapy #lifestylemedicine #healingfoods #veganmuscle #foodismedicine

Our third @oregonstatetriathlon Beaver Freezer triathlon is a wrap. 🏁 This event has turned into an annual tradition for us, as it officially kicks off the annual triathlon racing season. . We’re still waiting for final results and photos, but we both did well, and finished faster than last year. A race finish with a custom mug and baby tree is so #oregon. 🍺🌲 . While I’m happy, I’m not entirely pleased with my performance. I had issues before and during the swim, transitions were slow, I coasted a little too often during the ride, could have pushed a little harder on the run. . Yes, it was an utter downpour of rain 🌧 and breezy during the event, and road traffic was unusually challenging. . There is always room to improve, which is what makes triathlon so much fun, and we can’t wait for our 2020 Beaver Feezer triathlon. 🙌🏼 . I’ll do race recap video in the next day or two after we get some final results and pictures, so stay tuned.📺 . Next race: @ironmantri 70.3 Victoria. (June 2) and @escapealcatraztri (June 9). . #osubeaverfreezer #beaverfreezer #bwtri #triathlete #triathlon #tritraining #trilife #tri365 #ironmantraining #triathlontraining #swimbikerun #140point6 #teamzoot #zootsports #mycanyon #garminfitness #beatyesterday #vegan #iifym #fitness #fit #healthychoices #iifym #fitlife #health #inspiration #sprinttriathlon #nutrition #lifestyle #usatriathlon

“Let’s kick the tires and light the fires, big daddy!” — Captain Jimmy Wilder . 2017 was my first Beaver Freezer event, and my very first triathlon. It was at this event that I fell in love with the experience of triathlon. 💙 🏊🏼‍♂️🚴🏼‍♂️🏃🏽‍♂️ . Why is it called “freezer” 🥶? This sprint triathlon starts with a 500 yard indoor pool swim, and that water is so warm and comfortable. . You then jump out of the pool, run out of the building toward your bike, and then it hits you ... 47°F, cool, sometimes wet, sometimes breezy, early spring Oregon weather. 🌦 . But the chill doesn’t last long as things heat up on the bike 🚴🏼‍♂️ and run 🏃🔥 . I’m looking forward to sharing more on Instagram posts and stories later this week as we get ready for the event on Saturday morning. 🙌🏼 . . . #osubeaverfreezer #beaverfreezer #bwtri #triathlete #triathlon #tritraining #trilife #tri365 #ironmantraining #triathlontraining #swimbikerun #140point6 #teamzoot #zootsports #mycanyon #garminfitness #beatyesterday #vegan #iifym #fitness #fit #healthychoices #iifym #fitlife #health #inspiration #sprinttriathlon #nutrition #lifestyle #usatriathlon

I’m not sure why @burgerking picked April 1st to announce something so awesome, but they did, and initially the internet didn’t believe them because of April Fools Day. . Today they launched the vegan-friendly version of their iconic Whopper to 59 locations in-and-around St. Louis, Missouri, as a market test. . From @deltaco to @carlsjr and now @burgerking, it’s awesome to see the adoption of plant-based alternatives like the @impossible_foods burger. . Hopefully it makes its way west ... a vegan Whopper sounds awesome right now. 😋🍔 . . . #plantbased #burgerking #veganburger #vegan #iifym #fitfam #fitness #fit #healthychoices #fitspiration #workout #gym #iifym #fitlife #health #inspiration #weightloss #healthy #fitspo #fitnessmodel #nutrition #motivation #gymlife #lifestyle #diet #getfit #fitfluential #igfitness #teamzoot #theveganironman
