Today is the most tempting day of the year

I'm just over a week out of surgery.

I work in an office building of about 1000 people administering health benefits.

It is literally the battle of food cultures everywhere in this building.

It's Cinco de mayo and also Asian Heritage day.

Everywhere you turn there's free tacos (good ones, I'm in central CA) ceviche, elotes, rice and Beans. There's a massive BBQ cooking asada.

Then there is every Asian food known to man.

Two weeks ago I could have done some serious damage to these endless buffets.

But I've got my beef broth to keep me company.

My surgery was two weeks before Christmas, a month before my birthday, and 6 weeks before Valentine's Day. I passed up all the treats and stuck to my plan. Darn it! Hahaha

Looks like you had a smooth recovery by getting back to work so soon! Dr. Boone is amazing 😊 Congratulations and stay strong during all those office potlucks that are sure to be in your future.

Oh I know the feeling; next week is nurse's week and they like to give us hamburgers, hot dogs, and ice cream.

What I've found that helps is bringing my own take on the dish. This was a creative process during the pureed stage, but I digress. I already have 97% lean ground beef I plan on making into a lettuce burger and while I won't have ice cream, I do have a square of Sugar Free Chocolate I'm saving. It sounds weird, but it's honestly plenty now and I dont feel like I'm missing out.

Which is more important- that Junk food you have been craving for an hour?
Or that body you have been craving all your life?
The decision is YOURS!
