Avocado can make anything taste really good. Just thought you should know.
This was dinner a couple of nights ago.
And this is my 18-month-old cutie. Just want everyone to know that she’s awesome. : )
Potassium

Been reading about potassium lately. It’s good stuff.
“Potassium is crucial to heart function and plays a key role in skeletal and smooth muscle contraction, making it important for normal digestive and muscular function, too.”
Most people need about 2,000 mg each day. If you’re eating plenty of fruits and vegetables, you shouldn’t have a problem getting [...]

This pic reminded me of my daughter. She loves watermelon lately.
I love cold watermelon after a long bike ride or run. So refreshing. Have any interesting ways to eat watermelon besides just eating it straight-up?

Food today is fuel tomorrow, right? Or something like that. This smoothie had skim milk, banana, yogurt, apple, spinanch, and a handful of frozen berries (strawberries, raspberries, bluberries, blackberries). So good.
Triathlon (oly-distance) tomorrow. Hoping for a new PR. Training may not have been as great as I would have liked, so might be wishful thinking.
Also, [...]

Had some turkey burgers for dinner last night topped with some avocado slices. So good with avocado. I love those things. I should’ve taken a picture but I inhaled the food so fast I couldn’t.
Some info about avocados:
“Avocados, like olives, are one fo the few foods that are both rich in healthy fats and free [...]

I’m a proud daddy. My little girl is 8 months old and is now crawling. Pretty exciting stuff. Here she is having a mouthful of something. Probably bananas.
