Happy Friday friends, and I hope you’re wearing a stitch of green to ward off those evil pinchers.
My corned beef and cabbage is in the slow cooker to eat tomorrow for lunch since tonight we’ll be celebrating in a slightly more Neil Diamond way.
In This Post
St. Patrick’s Day. Daylight savings time. Skiing in the morning and golfing in the afternoon. It is officially spring!
And with spring, comes spring break, and with spring break, comes vacation and that makes me one busy girl working ahead so I can focus on quality family time with my little unit of three. We’re heading to the islands and some serious beach time and I cannot WAIT to eat my way through all of the fresh poke bars, dig my toes in the sand, and hit the road to Hana with my puka shells in hand and Tiny Bubbles playing along the drive.
All that eating may be a bit curbed since I’m planning on keeping my 3-week detox eating habits going strong, or at least making better decisions. I’ve just about finished week 2 of the detox, and one thing I’ve learned is that a bite here and snack there tend to add up to more than I realized. Stopping the snacking and putting a firm foot down instead of a hand out to graze is making a difference in my eating habits. Sure, I’ve had a few moments of going off the plan, but I’m okay with that because who defines success anyway? It’s all in the eye of the beholder, and if I feel good, and I’m happy, that’s the goal and that’s where my success is.
I have nothing else to wax on about this week, so let’s bag all the perfunctory commentary and get right to the meat of the matter: This week’s Friday Faves!
