September Reflections & Favorites

September 28, 2012 By Heather Blackmon

.

Today’s the last weekday of September (I almost typed August, apparently I’m really in denial), which means it’s time for a look back at the month. I love this opportunity to slow down and remember the month before October is here on Monday.

Your Favorite Post

The recipe for Pizza Hummus was the overwhelming winner this month, a surprise hit it seems! I used this hummus to replace the cheese base on pizza several times in one month – and I RARELY repeat recipes.

My Favorite Post

This was a difficult one to write and publish, but I’m glad I did and am overwhelmed at the support of this community – even those who disagreed with my decision to move to A (Mostly) Plant Based Diet.

No new videos this month – I need to get on that!

********************

Tonight, Kirk and I are creating our own beer tasting dinner again, just like we did for Valentine’s Day. We decided that a reason to celebrate wasn’t necessary! The theme for tonight’s dinner is Fall, so I hope to have some awesome new recipes to share next week from tonight’s feast!

And don’t forget about the October #MMAZ  ingredients, which kicks off Monday with Hominy! Click here for all the details on Meatless Mondays from A-Z and how to join in the fun!

Welcome

Hi! I’m Heather, a yoga & wellness teacher based in Colorado... Read More…

Which is more YOUR thing - camping near an alpine Which is more YOUR thing - camping near an alpine lake or shredding on a local trail? ⬇️

In both cases, we need to protect the land we enjoy on our adventures. And Leave No Trace is one program that helps with that - especially those that have a high rate of degradation through a program called Hot Spots. 

I'm excited to be partnering with @leavenotrace and @onxbackcountry to celebrate and preserve all these beautiful outdoor places. And for all of June, $10 of every onX Backcountry membership is being donated towards Leave No Trace’s Hot Spot program. A great way to get access to my favorite backcountry app AND support LNT! 

I added a link in my bio if you're interested in learning more, so you can help #ExploreandRestore!

What scares me is probably different than what scares you.

I am admittedly a timid mountain biker - but getting better every day.

I'm afraid to face plant, but still working on crow pose in yoga.

Am I the only one still (basically) living in yoga Am I the only one still (basically) living in yoga clothes?

For at least part of the day, it's just easier to put on yoga pants, sports bra, and a "zoom-appropriate" top. Or a button-up layered over my workout tank. It makes it SO much easier to squeeze in a workout when I have time.

Tell me I'm not the only one who's not going back to work clothes?!

Wait, should I look at the camera? 📸 But reall Wait, should I look at the camera? 📸

But really, keep your gaze straight ahead to keep your neck safe in bridge (or Setu Bandha Sarvangasana). It's rare that a version of this pose isn't included during cooldown in my classes.

Do you love bridge as much as I do?
