I have a new recipe to tell you about. I made this tried and true garlic pulled pork recipe on Sunday. Since we were going to be home almost all day, I cooked it in the oven instead of the crockpot like I normally do. It turned it sooooo much better – very tender and butter-soft. To get an even healthier dose of the super food that is garlic, I paired it with Couve a Mineira and a side of avocado. It was delicious!! And cheap! Collard Greens are only 59 cents. Bonkers.
Anyway, here’s the super exciting food/exercise details of Day 1.

I’ve been trying to figure out the best way to keep a food log. I have the Evernote Food app, where you can take pics of your food and then make comments on it, but I’m not liking it so far. It’s too complicated for what I need. I also don’t like typing my food into my phone and then retyping it here. I might just resort to a little old school notebook. We’ll see. Logging food is pretty tedious, but lots of folks say it really opens your eyes as to what you really eat in a day. We’ll see!
