Good morning my lovelies!
Happy Thanksgiving π
I’m waking up and about to get my sweat on before I meet my fam that flew into town. π So excited to see them.
First of all, I want to share some random updates….
Last week I twisted my ankle showing off during dancing (karma bites me) so that, as well as other minor health issues, have impeded my powerlifting training. I will still compete, but I am feeling weak and stiff, so ...
Hello ladies and gentlemen, guess what, I’m back to cooking. For a while my fridge was bare because nothing seemed enticing to cook, and also I was sort of embracing spontaneity and flexibility and going out to eat and all that.

Picked up a low fat latte and got home to heat up a batch of the Power Amaranth Breakfast I made.
Here was my meal. My amaranth/eggwhites/strawberry/etc mix, my multi-vitamins plus one fish oil cap plus one krill oil cap plus water, plus a low fat latte. Amazeballs.
So I have heard a little murmur here and there about amaranth, but it was only recently when I read something AGAIN by John Berardi– whose word I trust a lot– that I decided to purchase some.
