Carnitas, Guacamole Dip, and Weight Loss

So yesterday, I went on a bender. Of Mexican food. Authentic Mexican food. Homemade authentic Mexican food.
I’m talking carnitas (pork-fried pork), enchiladas, grilled jalapenos, guacamole, chips, chile verde, beans, and sopapillas for dessert.
I’m pretty sure I ate my weight in food.
Then I remembered that today is my weigh-in and blog day, and I wasn’t excited. No doubt I’ve still got last night’s lard in there, gumming up the works and weighing me down. Literally.
Still, I weighed myself and the result was 154.6 — down 0.6 pounds.
That’s not great, considering how hard I worked last week. I’m hoping some of the weight is lingering from my gluttonous spree last night and will wear off in a day or two. If not, I learned my lesson, I suppose. (Though not really. Because if I had the chance to eat what I ate yesterday again…I totally would. You only live once.)
How are you doing with your New Year’s resolutions?

I love Mexican food… though it’s a good thing I became a veggie AFTER the mish! Doing well with my resolutions though despite all my efforts I’ve only lost 3 lbs in 3 weeks…guess it’s better than nothing, but time to ramp it up! Keep of the good work!
