Unfortunately, I’ve been way too busy to see her since then, but I have been doing really well with intuitive eating. Or at least, I was doing really well up until this week. I am still ...

To Go Tuesday!
I have an early class on Tuesdays and Thursday. Don’t really know what I was thinking when I made my schedule, but that’s besides the point now.

The second challenge for Project Food Blog is called “The Classics”. You are supposed to choose a classic dish from another culture, something that’s outside your comfort zone.

Lazy Sunday?
I can’t remember the last time I had a Lazy Sunday. It seems like I always have a long To Do list on what is supposed to be a day of rest. Well, at least I get a rest from running on Sundays.

Hit The Mother-load
I hit the Mother’s Load! For various reasons I’ve had a very stressful week. Today after school I picked up Ben from work (carpooling). It was almost 7pm at that point.
