That Little Mexican Cafe makes a mean margarita. Today I learned they also make a mean salad.
So it’s the end of the year, right, a time when people are thinking about resolutions and stuff, making positive changes for the future. I’m still kind of pondering how far I’ve come in the past year… going from choosing chicken sandwiches over burgers, wraps over sandwiches, and then salads over wraps. Small, sustainable changes. I still have a long way to go. I still, for instance, have a hard time not eating all of the chocolate and Christmas candies in front of me, instead of having one piece and moving on with my life. But if you get a little bit better every day, after a while that adds up to quite a lot.
The fudge came from Niles’s mom, and it’s delicious, and tomorrow I will have only two pieces instead of three. She also sent a huge amount of oranges from her backyard, I look forward to that every Christmas! Speaking of Christmas presents, my brother and his wife are in Wales (she’s British) and they’ve sent us three packets of “crisps” that claim they are “pickled onion” flavor. I am afraid.
I’m impressed that you stuck to just 3 of the fudge. I would have eaten the whole batch. Chocolate is a trigger for me. No matter how well I do I know I am always going to have to fight to stay on track and not go overboard.
But you are right. It is the little changes, step by step that leads to true change. Vegetables for me used to be lettuce and tomato on a cheeseburger. Now they are a staple in my diet.
The oranges and fudge cancel each other out. True story. ;D
Kimberly, I know what you mean about triggers! Chocolate is definitely a tough one, although salty things are more my personal weakness. If I make the mistake of opening a bag of potato chips it’s very hard not to eat the whole thing.
