Grapes I feel the need to share a completely pointless part of my day with you. Like I said in my post about using overripe fruit, I am really good at picking out bad fruit. Well, last night I bought some grapes at Wal-Mart, and they are the best grapes I have ever had in…
Healthy Food Swaps and Additions
Sometimes you just need some ice cream. Last night I felt this need and went to the freezer to see what was hiding. Enter Double Fudge Brownie Ice Cream. I got it out, plus a small bowl, banana, yogurt, and dark chocolate chips. This is my collection of goodies that make a little bit of…
CrossFit, New Running Shoes, and an Elliptical Workout
