Take a load off, man

Foreal though

Cauliflower is an interesting beast for me. I love it to replace mashed potatoes.. i love it when it’s cut up and used to make a mac n’cheese or just simply roasted but I cannot hang with using it as a sub for rice. I’ve tried so hard. I want to love it but I can’t handle the crunch. No matter what I do, I feel like when I try and make it work (even if I buy pre grated cauliflower) it just never works out... So, here’s to 2019 and trying to finally make a good rice bowl where I sub out rice for cauliflower. Pray for me.... and send me recipes or give me tips and hints.

Here’s the thing that’s insanely difficult about vulnerability... when you mess up (whether a little it a lot) people are bound to find out. I went off the damn rails in November and December and paid for it by losing a ton of progress... and that really sucks. But, I’ve also learned that I can’t focus on that. I can only learn and realize that when I allow myself to slip, I can be damn well sure that I’ll slide. So, here’s to my first posted weigh in of 2019 and to not jacking this up again :)

There’s an amazing artist name Tyler Feder that Faith Anna and I both deeply love.  For Christmas, Faith Anna surprised me with a minute drawing from Tyler based off of one of our wedding photos.  This is what she came up with.  We are in love with it!

Today we were able to pay off 4 of our credit cards totaling right around $1,000.  I can’t stress enough how good it feels to know that those are gone.  I did the math and if we stick to it, our only debts going in to 2020 (whatup JT) will be our car loans and my wife’s big student loan debt.  2019 is the year we knock off $18,000 of debt from our lives and hopefully the year I knock off 100 lbs off this body.
