Took me 90 minutes to walk 4.1 miles
Woke up at 4:30am to get the extra time needed for me to have a productive workout with this back injury. Sucks that I used to run 4 miles in 40 minutes and even that wasn't fast lol. Now it's more than double!! I'm feeling better after some exercise, but it's so hard being injured and trying to exercise for weight loss.…

Do you sprout or grown your own microgreens?
And I don't mean marijuana lol! 😂 Just curious, if any one does this instead of buy them, as they can get costly and it seems easy enough to do at home. Curious what your favorites are and how you use them in your meals ? Thanks

Plant based friends
For many reasons I've attempted going vegan for the last year, and for many other reasons I'm 100% commited to staying vegan the rest of my life.
