My Afflation

 With the implosion of waves hands impotently  everything and my discovery of the Fediverse, I’ve been creating and moving my online life over there.  Long-form thoughts: Unfocused Wanderlust   Book reviews:  bookrastinating  and  Storygraph  Photos: Pixelfed Toots (short-form stream of consciousness that you love so much from me)  Mastodon  Looking forward to keeping in touch!

I didn't tweak to the fact that my brother hadn't posted in a few days.

Guess what?!? I am NOT doing a Whole 30 this year! This year we will be starting the year with Round 2 of a 21 Day Fix . After stuffing ourselves fuller than a Thanksgiving (or Christmas) turkey, we're kind of sick of food. Or at least rich foods. Y'all, I am craving arugula and brussels sprouts. Brussels Sprouts!!! via GIPHY

A few weeks ago, I may have mentioned a Costco run. We are still eating the chicken that I picked up. Thank goodness for a large freezer! So obviously, I have to get creative with the chicken prep this week. This might have been easier if I was doing a rubber chicken plan instead.

    Good news!  Losing weight! Very slowly. Bad news! Portion control sucks even when you are eating healthy but the food tastes damn delicious. That is one thing about this program that I like, the base recipes are pretty tasty and I can season to my heart's content.  via GIPHY

via GIPHY I mean honestly, how many times do I have to do this? You know, before I learn my lesson? And just stick to a maintenance way of eating? Stress so gets in the way.
