Peppers and Pork ala Wifey

I'm sorry for my recent absence. I'll update today's menu later tonight.

In case you're wondering, I haven't fallen off the wagon. I'm still LCing. I've just had a bit of a hard time keeping up with everything. I felt like I needed to take a step back for awhile.

The good news is that my time away has reaffirmed my view of the importance of keeping a record of my daily food intake. For me, it's simply a question of remaining conscious of my health goals and priorities. Without enough structure, I feel as though I'd likely get into some trouble down the line.

So I guess I'm going to try to get back to old ways - daily menu blogging. But every now and then I'll likely drop off the radar. I haven't allowed myself that luxury in the recent past. I hope this a way of establishing a more balanced approach to my crazy life.

I appreciate all of you who have dropped by and left such supportive comments lately. I haven't visited many of your sites as much as I'd like. That too will resume today.
