Notes I took on my cellphone whereas studying:

– Smoothies with assorted components
– Water with a pinch of Himalayan sea salt, cayenne, and lemon within the am

– Make train sporadic and enjoyable; really problem your self
– Discover a higher water supply. Now we have reverse osmosis right here on the home, however it hasn’t been serviced for the reason that first time we lived right here. So we haven’t been utilizing it. I’ve been filling the big water jugs from Complete Meals. Although I’m looking for a greater choice (glass bottles, an important filter like Berkey, or perhaps a supply service). When you’ve got any concepts, please let me know!
