5 Things - July 2022 SnackySays Newsletter
Hey SnackySays Subscribers, Hey!
How was your July? I hope that you're getting lots of fresh air and yummy food, of course. 😊
Without further ado, FIVE THINGS!
1. Celebrating: My 5-Year Fitness Anniversary!
Started the day with a Millionaire Hoy workout of course! The past five years of fitness have been amazing and at times, amazingly frustrating! It really is a journey!
There are some goals that I had five years ago that I still haven't reached:
1. Doing continuous standard push-ups.
2. My DREAM WORKOUT (see #1 - kinda need to nail those push-ups so that I can do Sphinx/Russian push-ups)
That being said, I am truly in the best shape of my life. I can not wait to see what the next five years and beyond brings!
Oh! The rest of my Fitness Anniversary workouts: Good Mood Cardio, Yuuka Sagawa & Bless Life as featured in my 5 Minute-ish Workout Playlist!
2. My Sister: Nurse Kesh!
2023 UPDATE:

3. Cashing Out! The Book Tour
So remember when I mentioned that I was reading the personal finance book, Cashing Out? Eek! My twin brother and I went to the Washington, DC stop of Julian & Kiersten's Book Tour!!!
We went because of the book and we stayed for the thought-provoking conversations and sense of community. Kiersten and Julian are warm, engaging, and laugh a lot. My kind of people. I will definitely attend any and all future events that they put on!
Wanna 👀 what attending the Cashing Out book tour is like? Check out my YouTube Short & Julian & Kiersten's YouTube video!
Julian & Kiersten are also known as "Rich & Regular" online & social media.
They'll be in North Carolina and Virginia, next!

4. On Going Vegan
This is the best response I've seen to those who say they can't go vegan. I'm only Vegan at Times but I'm picking up what Beextravegant is putting down!
5. 7-Day Summer Workout Challenge!
Jordan Yeoh's Summer Seven Challenge was a huge highlight of June for me! I've been subscribed to his YouTube channel for a few months now...And somehow, had never tried even one of his workouts. At least until this bodyweight challenge! I was lucky enough to catch this challenge live. He dropped one new workout every day at 8 pm EST. I usually work out in the morning but I actually did three of them in real time!
It's super approachable with plenty of modifications and for most of the week, it was easy to add to my usual workout routine. The challenge starts out with a 7-minute workout, Day 2 = 14 minutes, and finally, on Day 7 there was a 49-minute workout. Please let me know if you try this challenge! I highly recommend it!
I like Jordan's style and have already downloaded his free workout app!
2023 Update: I now have the paid version of Jordan’s app!)
BRAWTA
1. Made me cackle: Am I the friend?
2. Loving this shade of Jessie Monroe nail polish #breezy
3. Confirming that Korean ramen is ALWAYS a good idea! (2023 Update: The original link is no longer working so this is a totally different and equally yummy looking ramen dish)
4. Last but not least, Tabitha Brown with a healthy snack idea for emotional eaters, like me.
Thanks for reading this month's SnackySays newsletter! I hope that the month of August is filled with good times and delicious meals for you and yours!
Love,
Joddie 🌺
