Fitness Friday – A Quickie

Here is my go-to strength training workout when I'm really, really, really short on time.  Squats, Push Ups and a Plank.  That's it. Do 3-5 sets of 10 each of the squats and pushups, then settle in for a 60 second plank. You can mix up the squats (with or without weights or a band) and …

Veggiesaurus

I recently completed a full year of being (mostly) plant-based.   Yep. 365 days without meat, dairy (cheese, milk, butter, etc.) with the exception of some baked items, hence the "mostly" disclaimer.  I mean I'm all about full disclosure so there go. If you've been following this blog for a while, y'all know I didn't plan …
