<3 !!!! *is JEALOUZ* xxxo

i've tried that, just weighing once a month or so, and it's always been a disaster for me. i have to hold myself accountable daily or i gain. ive been weighing almost daily for almost a year now and have lost 30 pounds and kept it off while pregnant for the last five months. i tend to go HOG WILD if i dont have to face my choices on a daily basis. so it's sorta choosing the lesser evil, KWIM?

ive read good calories, bad calories. and a multitude of other books. eventually i'm just tired of the obsession with food. the answer isn't in books, its in actions. xoxo

here is a google books copy of good calories bad calories

Paleotron: Feta and Beef Stuffed Mushrooms with Tapenade

they were pretty good, but i thought the beef topping, needed a little something else. i dipped them in good balsamic and that made them tastier.

but brrooke, it's so hilarious! i would laugh at my apartment every single day. and yes, you have an absolute steal, i would never leave your place if i were you. it's so so beautiful. i love natural light.

post it brooke! FOOD PORN
