Morning Exercise

Lentil Burgers….
Thursday, January 23rd, 2014
Lentil burgers—who knew these could be so good. It’s funny last time I made these I asked my son, “So do you like these?” His response was “Yes, but don’t tell anyone.” (more…)
I don’t have time
Monday, January 20th, 2014
I don’t have time…. This is the excuse most often used when people talk about why they do not exercise. I don’t buy it. I used to use this excuse and then I realized that I don’t have time to not exercise. (more…)
