Present

Thank you Crossfit for kicking my ass this week.  Now I don't have to try to keep my mind in the present, it just naturally happens because I am thinking about how my lungs are tired, by body is sore, and I am feeling so much better!


I am looking forward to future spontaneous adventures now that I will be in good enough shape to crush it!  

Kumquat Experimentation

This week one of my adventures started at the grocery store where I purchased four kumquats to try for the first time.  Kumquats are unique citrus fruits because the outer peel is sweet, and the inner is bitter.  These pictures explain our experimentation, and the overall experience quite concisely.  

Perhaps kumquats are better put to use in a recipe- an experiment for another time. 

Celiac vs. Cookies

As a person with celiac disease I cannot eat wheat flour or anything with gluten and feel great afterward.  Cookies are my greatest temptation and destroyer.  When eating at other people's places I can usually stay strong for at least one day or two.  Last time I was good for 1.5 days and then it went downhill fast.  One cookie, two cookie, three cookie, floor.  It is a slippery slope once I crack.  Now it will be a slow trek back to healthy choices and feeling good. 


The worst part is when they aren't that good.  Dam cookies.  Hope I learn..
