Hi everyone!

Needless to say by my absence… I got off track. My partner planned a weekend get-away for the long 4th of July weekend.

Some updates from yesterday!

I had 5 bites of salmon for lunch. It was baked in a very sweet and crisp glaze. Then I went on a hike to see a waterfall. I made sure to stay very hydrated and had plenty of energy! We are preparing for a hiking trip in the Amazon this October.

Afterwards my friend wanted to eat Thai food for dinner. She doesn’t…[Read more]
