Friday Faves

Hi friends! Happy Friday! What’s going on this weekend? We’re celebrating Kyle and Everly’s birthday with the fam, going to the opera (!), and having everyone over for Superbowl Sunday. I also have a huge book deadline Monday morning so in between the activities, I’ll have my computer out, and blue light-blocking glasses on, nerding it up. I’d love to hear what you have going on!

Two exciting things happened this week:

– Regular fitness classes back on the schedule. I’m going to be teaching a bootcamp class and a spin class each week, and it feels so good to be back into teaching. I’ve been subbing since we moved back to Tucson, mostly because the Pilot has been gone 80-90% of the time and childcare can be tricky, but now that his schedule is more predictable, I could start teaching regularly again. I taught bootcamp this week – we did a mix of TRX, battle ropes, BOSU, and Tabata rounds- and it was so.much.fun. I felt a little piece of my soul come back to life!

– Speaking of my soul coming back to life, something else happened: I got a spot singing with a local choir. I chatted about it in this post, but the nutshell version is that I auditioned over the fall and was choir roadkill. Since then, I’ve been working with a vocal coach and practicing like crazy, and got the chance to audition again last night.

I figured I was going to celebrate either way. Even if I didn’t get a spot, I was going to celebrate the fact that I really gave it my best shot after months of lessons and consistent practice. I’d throw my aria in the trash can and have a glass of wine. BUT, I got a spot! I was really happy to be able to tell Liv and P that I didn’t quit and the hard work paid off.

I’m SO pumped and we have three big concerts each year. (I’ll share the word when get closer if any Tucson friends want to come out!) YAY.

It’s time for the weekly Friday Faves party. This is where I share some of my favorite finds from the week and around the web. I always love to hear about your faves, too, so please shout out something you’re loving in the comments section below.

Fashion + beauty:

– Scoping out spring and summery clothes. I’m sooooo over bundling and the revolving door of colds in our house. Bring on the sunshine! I ordered this cute leopard bikini top for our cruise and this coverup. Also loving this dress, this bodysuit, and these cute strappy sandals.

– Amazing to see that Beautycounter is diving into the mica industry – mica is in EVERYTHING. It’s what makes makeup shimmer and is very safe – to make sure it’s sourced responsibly.

Read, watch, listen:

– Watch Jerry give “mat talk” to these lucky folks arriving to work.

– Dinner etiquette.

– Why exercise is good for your brain.

– This BLEW MY MIND. People don’t have an inner monologue? Can we talk about this? My entire day is constant thoughts in my own voice in my head. I can’t imagine it being peaceful in my brain lol. If this is you, please tell me what this is like!

Good eats + misc. finds:

– Equilibria! I’ve mentioned it a few times before, but this has helped dramatically with my anxiety. Before my choir audition, I was sitting in my car, shaking from nervousness. I put 5 drops of Equilibria CBD under my tongue and within two minutes, I felt remarkably better. While I was absolutely still nervous, it took the shaking “what the heck am I doing?” feeling away. I could actually breathe and focus. It’s a game changer for me. (If you want to give it a whirl, my link gets you 15% off. They’re also going a special promo through tonight at midnight. Use the code fitnessistadaily20 to get 20% off the first three months of any new subscription.)

– The Art of Plating event. We got to watch Kyle do his thang and compete against local chefs in a plating competition. Kyle is truly an artist and always amazes me with his creations.

This is a wagyu beef sandwich with beef fat mayo.

The crazy thing is that his meals taste even better than they look. I’m totally biased, but his recipe was absolutely my favorite compared to the other dishes. There were a lot of beautiful creations and I had a great time wandering around with Meg and madre, tasting all of the different entries.

(Dress is here and shoes are here)

For now, P and I are off to the library and I’m going to catch a Peloton class this afternoon.

Have a happy Friday and I’ll see ya soon!

Gina

Why the struggle for a secular Pakistan was doomed from the very beginning

Pakistan has always tried to portray itself as a beacon of moderate Islam. However, the fact of the matter is, Pakistan at present stands at the cusp of becoming a populist theocracy. After his victory in the 2018 elections, Prime Minister Imran Khan highlighted his intention to restore the country to the glory of ‘Riyast-e-Madina’ during the time of Holy Prophet Muhammad (PBUH). Slogans currently being raised by the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf are somewhat similar to what the All India Muslim League propagated during the movement for independence; creating a state which gives Muslims supremacy. Therefore, campaigning in the name ...

Chimichurri Street Tacos: The Perfect Party Food

Game Day food is best eaten by hand, am I right? And it doesn’t get better (or easier) than these Chimichurri Street Tacos. They’re easy to prepare and will please meat-eaters, vegetarians, and vegans alike.

Picture this: beef strips (or tofu!) smothered in a zesty chimichurri sauce, with bright sauteed peppers and onions, all wrapped in a fresh tortilla. Pair these with our high-protein nachos, and you’ve got a big game spread that’s sure to be a touchdown (yes, pun intended).

The best part? Just set the fillings out and let your guests build their own taco. Party planning is done.

Chimichurri Street Tacos

The Taco Part:

Makes 8-12 tacos

You can prepare your beef on the grill then slice it or start with slices and bake it in the oven (shown in this recipe).

1 lb top sirloin (or cut of your choice), cut into thin slices
4 oz extra firm Tofu, well-drained and diced
4 oz shiitake or portabella mushrooms, sliced
1 green bell pepper, cut into slices
1 medium red onion, cut into slices
2 cups raw red cabbage, shredded
12 small corn or flour “street taco” shells
Plain non-fat Greek yogurt for topping (optional)

The Chimichurri Sauce:

Makes 2-3 cups

Traditional chimichurri sauces use more oil, however, I scaled back on the oil and replaced it with water. This recipe uses avocado oil in place of traditional olive oil, but olive oil is a fine option. The amount of sauce you get will depend on how much water you add.

1 packed cup flat parsley
1 shallot, cut into large chunks
¼ cup red wine vinegar
1-2 cloves garlic
½ tsp dried oregano
¼ tsp ground cumin
¼ tsp salt
¼ cup avocado oil
Water

How To Make Chimichurri Sauce:

In a food processor or blender, combine parsley, shallot, vinegar, garlic, oregano, cumin, and salt. Pulse until the ingredients are combined. Add avocado oil and pulse until coarsely pureed. While the food processor is running, slowly add a small amount of water.

Stop the blade and check the consistency. If you want it thinner, add more water and run the food processor for another 5-10 seconds.

Note: Don’t over processes the sauce or it will be too liquidy. Add a little water at a time and run the blade in 5-10 second increments. The texture should be slightly coarse, not silky smooth.

How To Make The Tacos:

Place beef strips in a bowl. Top with ¼ cup of chimichurri sauce and toss to coat the beef. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for 30 minutes or up to 24 hours.

In a separate bowl, add tofu and ¼ cup of chimichurri sauce. Gently toss and coat the tofu. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for 30 minutes or up to 24 hours. Reserve the remaining chimichurri for a topping.

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Cover a baking sheet with foil or parchment paper. Remove the sirloin and tofu from the marinade. Discard used chimichurri. Place the tofu on one side of the baking sheet and the beef on the other side (or use two separate baking sheets).

Bake until the beef is cooked through. Approximately 10-15 minutes. (Longer if you like your beef well done).

While the tofu and beef are baking, saute the mushrooms, bell pepper, and onion in a pan on medium heat until slightly tender. Note: To reduce calories use water instead of oil to saute your vegetables.

Once your beef, tofu, and vegetables are cooked it is time to assemble your tacos. On a taco shell, layer up your vegetables, protein of choice, fresh red cabbage, additional chimichurri sauce, and yogurt.

Enjoy!

Believe It To Achieve It

Do you believe you can reach your goal?

Before you can achieve ANY goal you MUST believe first that you can achieve the goal. You must believe in the possibility. You must believe you CAN achieve the outcome you want. And, you must believe it’s HAPPENING.

We are the result of our habits, but without first believing it’s possible you can’t get there.

You see so many people work to reach their goals by adding habits on a broken belief system. For example, in the fat loss and health space where so many of my clients seek my help… clients want the “workout” or the “meal plan” or the “supplement” to “fix them.” But they want to do this on an old belief system.

Those workouts and meal plans DO work but only long term if the client first BELIEVES they will accomplish their goal!

If a client comes to me with “Nothing ever has worked and nothing will work for me” attitude then it does not matter what plan I give them it will not work.

The key to lasting results

When we upgrade their belief FIRST (where I LOVE to help) everything changes. Results happen and they happen quickly.

Have you ever been frustrated about your phone or computer working slowly? Like you keep trying to add more apps to it and get it to do more but it is breaking down? What typically fixes that is upgrading and updating the software. Rebooting. Cleaning it up and starting fresh.

Just like computers we must UPGRADE beliefs (the operating system) first before adding new habits. The same way that you must update your computer software before adding more apps and programs!

I share this for you as much as I share it for myself.

I’ve been stuck in a story around my “broken back”… I BELIEVE now that I’ll get stronger than ever and I’m becoming the type of person who practices the habits to get me there.

Today:
I believe I can and will
I did the habits of a healed and strong person:

What You Focus On Expands

Stop focusing on what IS “wrong” with you and all of your problems.

Why? Because you will ALWAYS get more of what you focus on.

This may sound super simplistic, but we tend to look for evidence for whatever we believe or whatever we are doing. And we find friends to support it as well. Good or bad beliefs, that’s what we do.

If you are focused on weight you’ve gained, you’ll find others who have gained it too so that you can have validation that it’s ok.

If you are focused on pain, you’ll be stuck in pain.

If you focus on being broke, you’ll attract more of that.

If you focus on being too old to get in shape, you’ll continue to find evidence of others also too old to get in shape to support that belief.

If you focus on what is NOT working in your life you will attract more or that and find evidence that that’s normal.

This is not easy. I get that. Not claiming it is. But it is TIME TO FORCE THE VISION

GET CLEAR on what you WANT and focus on that. Force that focus and force the vision.

Many times I have gone down the path of what’s wrong with my life and whenever I do that, I find others to commiserate but it doesn’t make anything change. There is no chance of improvement from that place.

It took me years (48) to truly get this but I had to DECIDE to consciously do the opposite. To start LEVELING UP my life. To believe in possibility and to find role models and evidence of others doing and having what I wanted.

Instead of finding validation for why things aren’t working for you, DECIDE to focus on what you WANT to attract. –
YOU ARE NOT TOO OLD AND IT IS NOT TOO LATE!

YOUR NEW TRIBE that gets you is waiting for you here: Aging In Reverse Community

See things as you WANT them

See things first how you WANT them to be not how they currently ARE. You see everything is created as a vision FIRST.

Physique
Wellness
Business
Relationships
Finances
Things

All created first as a thought and a vision. When you choose to see things first how you WANT them and get crystal clear on that focus that is what you actually create.

The Statue of David by the way was created that way. The story is shared that the artist who created the Statue of David chipped away at everything that was not David. He saw David first in the midst of everything that was not.

Why is this so hard?

I get that this is challenging and that our analytical minds want to focus on the circumstances and the obstacles and not the vision.

We focus on what’s broken.
We focus on flaws
We focus on lack
We focus on that we hate
We focus on broken beliefs

And then, when we focus on those things we get more of that.

I decided during my healing to focus on what I saw for myself and not what was wrong.

One of my VIP private one on one clients asked me the other day how she stops seeing her “arms that she hates” and I told her she starts seeing what she wants to see and focuses on that.

SEE THINGS AS YOU WANT THEM and then the results will reflect.

XO,

Natalie Jill
