White mountains T25 trail. Hi Cannon. You know it’s steep when you see and hear the cars still but you’re just getting higher from them.

Took a little break from sourdough baking but I’m back. Made a Mediterranean seasoning & pecorino Romano loaf and a plain sourdough loaf. Smells like 🍕 in my house right now!

Reworking my ratios with my starter and my dough and using less water and going by feel. I am making these changes because my loaves were too flat which is a sign of overhydration. Will see how these came out and keep making adjustments 🥖

A beautiful snowy day of hiking. ❄️
3 miles of this hike in are pretty flat/gradual in elevation. But then. Boom. Some pretty steep elevation gain in less than a mile going up North Peak. Then a nice walk across the ridge over middle peak and then to South. And then. What goes up must come down and my LANTA was it steep! And did we come down! We all took our time and made it safely.
Snowshoes the whole way with lots of grip. Lots of post holes to keep us on our toes and knees at times on this hike. We were prepared well for this hike and had great respect for this mountain and our fellow hikers🙌🏼
So thankful for my NH48 hiking buddies who brought so much laughter to the day! We all have a day or hike where we are in our heads a bit more than usual and this hike was mine. To be able to tune out my thoughts and be brought back to present to hear giggling and laughter was so good! Body felt a little beaten up but my soul is happy and I’m coming back for more 🏔️
As a mentor of mine always says:
Onward & Upward!

The last one though. Sourdough is such a diva. But it tastes so good. Repost/share if any of these hit home for you. 💞Hang in there! The lighter warmer days will come again my friend

Probiotics alone don’t work.
Yep, I said it.

If you’ve been taking them and still feel bloated, tired, or just off… it’s not your fault.

2 out of 3 probiotics fail because they don’t have the right environment to survive.
That’s like planting seeds in dead soil and expecting a garden to grow. And it’s flushing your money down the 🚽

What finally made a difference for me was a system that pairs:
1️⃣ 20B CFU probiotics (the workers)
2️⃣ 9 prebiotic fibers (the fuel they need to thrive)

When you give your gut both, the magic happens:
✨Less bloating
✨More energy
✨Better mood
✨Stronger immunity

I used to think my probiotic “wasn’t working”… turns out, it just never had the fuel.

💬 Have you ever taken probiotics and felt nothing?
