Hey Amber and Jun-

You guys were awesome! Well done! I wish I were in the Bay Area still so we could rally and chat more on this health stuff. I can never talk about it enough!

Amber, great starting tips for Jun. I love and couldn’t agree more about (1) eliminate processed foods – anything from a box or bag, (2) live in the present – the “Now”, and (3) make your fitness fun – don’t force yourself to do something you’re not passion about.

I’d add two more fundamental healthy lifestyle design tips – (1) simply focus on the things you can control and let go of the things you can’t. Lose control, as I say! As the saying goes, “God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change; the courage to change the things that I can; and the wisdom to know the difference.”

And (2) design your healthy lifestyle for you and avoid conformity to the status quo or someone else’s version of health. Clearly, as Untemplater grand masters, you know this already!

Kudos again, and all the best!

Matt

@Sam- yes we all need to meet up! I have been meeting more and more bloggers lately and it’s fantastic. We have to support and inspire each other to keep going and pull on each other’s strengths.

To answer your question…buckwheat is thought of as a grain, but is actually a seed. It’s similar to quinoa or amaranth. A good substitute if you can’t tolerate wheat or oats. I do love green grass juices. I make green smoothies all the time, but in the morning I need something more substantial.

Well, I am here… Someone feel free to shoot me a call or text me at 309-453-8175. I have no plans and just completely relaxing all day today and tomorrow.

Hey Jun, nice interview!

Amber, ever eat barley green/wheat grass? Is that the same thing as your buckwheat thingy? I drink barley green and just fruit for breakfast quite regularly and it feels great. Light in the morning.

Instead of doing:

Date 1: Jun
Date 2: Shane
Date 3: Sam

what about

One big powow since we’re all in San Francisco?

Best,

Sam

Sounds good. I will be offline all day today on the train and 20 hours straight off distraction free writing (hopefully). I will be in San Fran around noon tomorrow and leave Sunday at 8 p.m. In between there I have nothing to do but relax and experience San Fran. No plans.

Shane- great! So excited to see you getting on the buckwheat train. I am around parts of both days. Shoot me a tweet and we’ll see what we can set up.

So on my way to get Buckwheat. Just signed up for virtual pilates. Throwing Ramen out my window right now. Thank you so much for this one you 2, it was great and insightful for sure.

Now, finishing packing my bag, eating some oatmeal, heading to train station and San Fran here I come.

Stoked to meet you Jun and now I have a new person I want to meet while I am there as well. Are you around Sat/Sun Amber?
