DAY TEN
Our a.m. workout is becoming a routine –– after coffee of course.

I even expected to be in complete agony over not being able to eat cheese or bread, or even chocolate, but so far so good. I know it will hit, it’s just a matter of when… dun dun dun.

Smashed Avocado and Chickpea Salad
If you are akin to me then lunch is something to look forward to, a mid-day stretch for the mind and energizing the belly.
