Spinach and romaine mix
apple slices
sliced parmesan
pistachios
lemon vinaigrette
flatbread - olive oil, kosher salt, and grated parmesan
Been hungry, feeling that...

One excerpt of note:

“300” 25x...

On happiness
It’s commonly accepted in the psychology community that there are three kinds of happiness:
- emotional happiness; I feel happy
- judgmental happiness; I’m happy for you
- moral happiness; I’m happy because I did the right thing
Knowing these categories actually makes me think differently about my own happiness.

Example:
Training goal for March: 18 sessions
Completed 10 as of today.
Need 8 more.
On track for 19, maybe 20.

Do yoga and Red Bull go together?

No Red Bull BTW.
