I had to run several errands this evening and my 16yo son went with me.  Since we were out and about, he suggested that we stop by Taco Bell and order soft tacos - and then just eat the meat but not the soft tacos themselves.  Instead, we could go home and transplant the meat into our low-carb tortillas.  I thought it sounded good (no cooking required, that always sounds good to me!) but I thought there might be an easier way to accomplish the same thing.

I asked the lady at the register if I could buy a bowl of just the taco meat - the ground beef stuff.  Turns out that yes, I could do that.  The charge for such a thing is just 50 cents for each taco portion.  So I ordered 5 bucks worth, the equivalent of 10 taco portions.  What I ended up getting was two bowls of cooked and seasoned ground beef, plenty for both of us.  Kevin ate 3 decent-sized burritos but I decided to skip the tortillas and ate about a half cup of taco meat with shredded cheese and sour cream.  And a big ol’ romaine salad with it.  Whoa it was really good!

I haven’t been exercising.  I got out of the “everyday” habit and things keep coming up, stuff I have to do, places I have to go to - for whatever reason I’m just not doing it.  I need to make the time. 

I have a lot to do both at work and at home, between now and Christmas.  Some of my exercise time might just end up be housecleaning time instead.  If I can manage to work up a sweat while cleaning, then I’d be happy with that.

Edited to change “Wednesday” to “Tuesday” - I ran around all day yesterday thinking it was Wednesday, LOL!
