Success Story Follow-Up: Each Modification Has Built on What I Had Established

It’s Friday, everyone! And that means another Primal Blueprint Real Life Story from a Mark’s Daily Apple reader. If you have your own success story and would like to share it with me and the Mark’s Daily Apple community please contact me here . I’ll continue to publish these each Friday as long as they keep coming in. Thank you for reading! Like many other Mark’s Daily Apple readers, I spent most of my life with my eye on the destination or goal and, for the most part, ignored the journey. I can’t say that this approach was a bad one as I had been chugging along for fifty years having moderate success achieving my education, career and personal goals. I applied the same goal orientation to weight management/exercise and would consistently hit the goals (ex. target weights, miles run, etc.) I set but seemed to never get healthier as things would fall apart when I achieved the goal I set.

Happily, cold-tolerant cherries are grown in many regions of the country, from the Northwest and upper Midwest to the East coast

Summer Fun & My New Favorite Pool Bag

^^What is Mazen’s tongue doing here!?! Here’s a little peek into our lives from yesterday : ) I had overnight oats made with cinnamon and blueberries for breakfast. Blueberries are so darn good right now! I took Mazey to camp, which is a half day this week. I worked on a Quaker recipe post for August (a tropical smoothie bowl that I can’t wait to share!) all morning. For lunch, Thomas surprised us with smoked salmon bagels from Bodos! I picked Mazen up after lunch and we went swimming at the Waterpark. And let me tell you about my new pool bag! My mom has a Scout bag as her beach bag and had me eyeing them while we were on Bald Head. These bags are all the rage on the island, but they were out of the largest version with all the pockets that I wanted in the shop there, so I had to order mine on Amazon when I got home. It’s the Scout – The BJ bag , and it’s been so great to tote to the pool. In addition to the large main pocket, it has two looser pockets on the front and t
