How fun 🙂They not only sent a replacement – Terri from AG sent over samples of their Kids Superfood and Greens SuperFood bar…

Favorite Distance?
Lunch! Last night I made the salmon salad with canned salmon, mayo, pickles, onions and curry powder. With watermelon, carrots and a wrap this lunch took a long time to eat and was the most satisfying lunch I’ve had in a long time!

Yogurt and too many toppings
I keep saying that I don’t want to eat yogurt and have been making myself eat it to make sure I’m getting enough protein. I think one of the reasons I don’t want it is because I don’t like plain yogurt! But – that’s the only kind I’ve been buying (from Costco, so I have a lot!). So, when I…

I think I'm wasted
Earlier I posted about how I have a rash. Well, it didn’t get any better over the course of the day and I was feeling super run down when I got home so I took a Benedryl since I think it may be an allergic reaction. Now I feel completely disorriented and lethargic. It’s so weird. I’ve never taken Benedryl…
