I am incorporating runs into my Turbo Fire workouts!
And today, I ran intervals for the first time EVER! Honestly? It was much harder than I anticipated it would be. I figured with all the walking in there that things would be easier. but that was NOT the case.

I’m working on a list of things that I can eat for Passover. For the first time in my adult life, I am actually completely unprepared for Passover. This week I have my first SHELF exam on Wednesday, an exam on Friday, and an entire week of St. Baldrick’s events. Sadly, I really just forgot about Passover. And then suddenly it was here.

In case you …

So I actually cheat when I make Kung Pao Chicken – in that I use a premade sauce. I am a huge fan of the “Panda Express” Kung Pao Chicken sauce. I buy it at my local grocery store – but I have also seen it at Panda Express restaurants as well as on Amazon.
