All of those look so delicious! Yum tres leche, one of my favorites. I just noticed today that my jeans that I wore a few weeks ago were much tighter today. Today I am feeling weighed down, moving very slow. I know that I really have to control my portions and get back to running again. I don’t want to give up my ‘foodie life’. I know I have to find a healthy balance. Thanks for the post.

These dishes are amazing, Ben! It’s all in moderation, as you know. You and D have similar tastes – he LOVES Pastel Azteca and he’d love the pumpkin enchiladas and he loves arroz con leche.

I have to get more active on the forums. And yes, I’m struggling with this, too. Down 20 lbs. – you GO! Congrats!

I’ve found that since I started blogging I’ve lost weight… I always try to cook healthily, so my unhealthy meals would be the ones I’ve ordered in, or eaten out. Therefore, for me, cooking more = eating better!

However, if I could bake it may be a different story… :-S And discovering deep-frying maybe wasn’t my best move this year!

Willpower is one of those things that I just don’t have. Why should I, when these look just so delicious?

I have gained over 20 lbs since blogging last year. You know how they say if you keep a food diary it will aide you weight loss? I think we all need to review our blogs for a reality check now and then. The thing is I hate waste. And I dont always or want to share or give away my food. So what do you do? Execercise and maybe cut back a little on blogging I guess?

I’m going to have to give the pumpkin enchiladas a try, probably often this fall.

I never really thought about food until I started running, which made me pay more attention to how I was fueling. I usually divide foods between what’s renewing and those that aren’t, and balance accordingly while making sure the majority are foods that are beneficial to recovery and that help me run better. Also, I’ve found that when I am not running I just eat less because I don’t need the extra energy, so I look for foods that have bulk and will fill me up without overdoing it. In the end, it’s about finding a happy medium that works for you.
