Living a Life Fueled by Healthy Food and Fitness
My morning was dominated by a peanut butter-saturated freelance project! I was playing with my favorite creamy nut butter in the kitchen all morning and am excited about the progress I made on my assignment. I should be able to post a link to this particular project on Monday, so stay tuned! Since I was…
For those of you who slack on blog reading over the weekend like I do, it’s time to get caught up: I almost stole a sea turtle Ryan almost got castrated Yep, I think that’s all you missed. Workout Today’s workout began as all Monday morning workouts do around here: With a BodyPump class! Prior…
