The 31st Day

Homemade Carnitas, Chile Rellenos & Guacamole!

Just fold and eat! Tomato "Tacos"!

The busier I get ... the less food becomes an issue ... if I plan. I think I'm starting to get the hang of this whole planning business. We have our home stocked with plenty of LC options. The only real issue is when we're out and about. And so far, that's worked out okay.

The key is not to panic - for me at least. Just make the best decision based on the current circumstances and make the optimal decisions when I have control over my menu.

I haven't been exercising much lately. But I have been moving around a lot. I know it's not the same. Though I wonder if it'll result in similar results at the scale. I'll know soon enough.

I hope you're all making your way through the holiday blitz well.

Jingle bells.
