Eggs have a very special place in my heart. They are packed with nutrition, are incredibly easy to cook and very versatile, and are delicious. I always get Omega-3 eggs, but was very excited when a friend of ours gave my mum a gift of fresh eggs from her farm!…
I went and saw Iron Man the other day (which was fantastic, by the way), and one of the commercials that came up before the movie started was for Coca Cola Zero. What do you think of this video? The one that I saw was considerably longer but I couldn't…
In my incredible excitement on Wednesday after performing my first-ever pull up, I dragged my sister to the playground after work to show off my newfound abilities. I climbed up on the structure, hung from the fireman pole, and then lifted myself up effortlessly to roaring applause from all of…
Drumroll, please... Today I did my first ever pull-up! This was an incredibly exciting moment for me. After boot camp this morning, I stopped by the park near my house and climbed onto the play structure. I took hold of the top part of the firemans pole and then let…
