Yay for Monday!

I know that sounds crazy to celebrate a Monday, but hear me out:

For the past 4 days we’ve seen nothing but rain and clouds. I am keeping my fingers crossed that with the start of a new week will also bring in some new weather. I feel like I was transported to Seattle and I want to go back to Charleston, ASAP!

So I am excited for some sunshine in my life! At least I stayed busy to keep my mind of the sogginess outside.

I was given a challenge the other day from Dan: Come up with 30 different burpees, because let’s face it we all LOVE burpees, right?

I managed to hit the target which I’ll be sharing later this week, but for today:

– I want to share with you my top 5 burpees and I am going to say that the chances of seeing these before are pretty slim.

– After burpee time, let’s talk soy. Why don’t I eat 99% of soy? How the heck is it possible to be an anti-tofu vegan? Oh it’s possible, but you have to watch to find out.

The Problem With Soy

No, I don’t drink soy milk or eat unfermented soy products. Well, I should clarify, if I am at a restaurant and all they have is tofu for a vegan option, I go with it. Moderation is key.

About 6 months ago I wrote a report on soy beans and human consumption and thought I would share a few pages with you (for the whole report, check out Calorie Revolution, part of Fit Womens Weekly).
