I would also like to say how great it is to see you loving your fitness and new adventures there.

I LOVE these spend-a-day-with-you kinds of videos. I know you're busy and can't as easily just throw a casual video up in Insta or anything, so I'll take all the Natalie time I can get. lol. The only thing missing from that lobster roll is a toastable New England hotdog bun. But that looks as good as any I ever ate in my pre-plant life when I lived in Maine. And right before I watched your video I watched the latest from Derek Sarno where he turns roasted eggplant halves into fish filets that look legit. It's a very seafood kind of Sunday for me.
