guest post! coco q.

Hey lovely readers of Meals and Moves! It caught me by surprise when Janetha asked me to do a guest post! I know how much exposure is her blog and I’m excited to get new people to know my blog. My name is Coco and I write Balance, Joy and Delicias. My philosophy of life is follow the intuition, be passionate about what I do and add joy to life in a daily basis. It could be as simple as a good walk with a friend, a warm bath, a sweaty yoga session or few bites of your favorite food.

However, I haven’t been always like that. I had weight/food struggle in my early twenties (I’m almost 29 now). It took me several years to establish a  healthy relationship with self-image and food.  Nowadays, I eat simple, clean food by preference rather than keep track on calories. My cuisine is a fusion of Asian, Argentinean and Italian. I love exploring new combinations of flavors and creating yummy recipes which is also healthy.

Meals: Since breakfast is my favorite meal of the day, I’ll share some of my favs with you

Moves: Yoga is my favorite strength training. I practice 3-4 times a week, either by my own with Dave Farmer’s podcast or in a yoga studio. I do 2-3 times of cardio, which could be a spinning class, a long walk with a friend or Elliptical while reading magazines.

Me doing flying yoga! ;)

Okay. That’s, all ladies. :) Thanks for reading and thanks to Janetha for letting me do this post. Hope this invites you to visit my blog.
