Wellness Wednesday:
Snacky Mood
Truly...
The highlight of my week was eating racks of BBQ Ribs... followed by meatballs... and Chicken Enchiladas... I probably should not of... but I did.
And don't forget about the deli meats and cheeses - lordy - you'd think I had guests to entertain with my charcuterie game.
And of course the week after I declare that I want to finish my Year of Wellness strong - I get in a snacky mood.
I will need to buckle down a bit more with my meals and portions.
Oh, well... c'est la vie feast, amirite?!

Closing Thoughts:
The Good:
Had some enjoyment reading - read a slew of Digital Comics and been burning through a hardcover book. Feels were that I made that distinction - "hardcover" book - but hey, I had to go all the way to local library for it.
The Bad:
With the end in sight - I am getting incredibly snacky... thus hurting my resolution to "finish the year strong".
The Ugly:
This Quest for Sleep feels Never Ending and making a little... cranky.
