I'll blog about the favorites for sure. Excellent idea to restrict the portion size for rice. That way you're not cutting it out but not eating an unreasonable portion either (which is so easy to do for rice).

Major pitfall. And I think I've been doing some of the "preplanning" without even realizing it, in the sense that I think every morning about what the day looks like, and if we are going out for dinner, then I know to be more careful with breakfast and lunch so I indulge more at dinner.Nupurhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03890441057480820053noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10611609.post-4017634972717687672015-01-08T06:06:17.432-06:002015-01-08T06:06:17.432-06:00Well begun...is half done!
