Yesterday morning started out well, like most mornings, with a meal of egg whites and one egg with veggies and salsa. But then as the day wears on and I am sitting at my desk I get antsy and start to snack before and after I eat my homemade lunch. When I do snack it's normally …
Thankful

Getting back into the swim of things
The first full day back to normal daily life was not as easy a transition as I thought it would be. Swimming was first on the agenda but after 9 days away from the water my arms and legs had to work double time. I still got in a good workout but boy was I …
