October 3, 2012

September Goals Recap!

October 1, 2012

When I set up my goals for September, I focused on five main categories: blog, food, lifting, cardio, and other.

Whole30 Days 19-20

Stop the presses. I ate asparagus today. I know, no big deal, right? But for me, every new food encountered is newsworthy! Since my Whole30 journey began, I’ve branched out and have eaten tilapia, zucchini, kale (fail, but at least I tried), elk burgers, tuna steaks (tonight), and drank bone broth, and of course, indulged in […]
