Food! All you can eat!
I often joke that the only reason I do triathlon and train as much as I do is so I can eat (& drink) anything I like as often as I like! While there is truth to that statement, I am acutely aware of the analogy of "junk in junk out". I occasionally use … Continue reading Food! All you can eat!
