Week 10 Weigh-In Recap

Happy Sunday! It’s cool here in San Diego this morning, and I’m out to tackle four miles (again!) once my toast digests. How is your weekend going? I cannot believe it’s already been ten weeks for my 12-week bootcamp program. I’ve learned a lot and I know I look better than I have in a [...]

The darker one I got a few weeks ago, but the smaller one came from Wednesday’s CSA bunch, and it’s already starting to grow…whatever they are! This [...]
