Set backs

I am ashamed to say that I have not been very strict lately. A hernia surgery and an elbow injury has kept me from the gym in the past 7 weeks. I have also been indulging in desserts and noodles as well as cheese (which form a diet perspective is not bad, from a Paleo Diet perspective a no-no). All together this culminated into a weight gain of 6-7 lbs and it shows. Time to get back on track. going hard core again.

Cherry crop

The cherries ripnend on our little cherry tree! this is the whole crop.

They were a bit sour and a litle sweet, a far cry from the JUMBO Cherries we buy at Costco.

It was fun picking them with my son.
